Segmentation Fault and Core dump

Hi All,

I have this dbt since long ...

What is the difference between Segmentation Fault and Core Dump ?
As far as I know Seg fault is due to memory leakage or memory which cannot be accessed.

Please let me know if I am wrong.
Can some one tell me what is the diff between Segmentation Fault and Core Dump ?

Thanks.
