Can any explain the major diff b/w BDC, BAPI's,ALE,IDoc's and LSMW?

Main differences between bdc and bapi's are...
In case of bdc , data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem
Bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.
when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc will not support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.

difference between lsmw and bdc
1.BDC is the method to upload the data from flat file in which you have to write the every single logic in it..
where as LSMW is automated process ie most of the logic is desinged by the system itself.
2. BDC is used for the continuous data upload as well as master data upload where as lsmw is used for one time requirement ie most of the times for master data upload.
3. in lsmw u can apply 4 different techniques DI/BI, recording, bapi and idoc where as in bdc those r limited.
