Access Methods is a collection of code that provides the storage structures for your data and indexes, as well as the interface through which data is retrieved and modified. It contains all the code to retrieve data but it doesn’t actually perform the operation itself; it passes the request to the Buffer Manager.
Suppose our SELECT statement needs to read just a few rows that are all on a single page. The Access Methods code will ask
the Buffer Manager to retrieve the page so that it can prepare an OLE DB rowset to pass back to the Relational Engine.
