| comp., MS | direct access | 直接存取 (The ability of a computer to find and go directly to a particular storage location without having to search sequentially from the beginning location.

Such files are best used for data in which each record has no intrinsic relationship to what comes physically before or after it, as in a client list or an inventory) |
