    linkedlist concept please!

    Hello everyone;

    I would apreciate,
    if you kindly point out the clues and answer to my question.

    Linkedlists are the only subject i never realy touched while
    reading C and doing various programming, for the last
    few years.

    last couple of days i have read on it extensively and can
    figure out the algorithm fine.

    but i cant figure out the concept behind it in "its usage
    in database programming" whats the point of this dynamicaly
    allocated structures related to each other through these
    pointer nodes either to add or delete a member, which
    in actuality can be done through a simple "random access file"

    procedure of adding a new record to a file or deleting one
    permanently.

    then again if linkedlist is good just for the life of the program.
    then how does it attribute to a data base system.

    can u provide me with an example(not an bank account again)
    of utilizing a linkedlist in a real world environment.

    at the cost of being repetitive and boring, i would like
    to know why cant we replace linkedlists by using
    rendom access files?what r the differences.?


    cheers!

    *EDIT;
    by the way i would understand its usage in a game environment.
    it makes sense(dynamic environment). but other fields?
