Create data access applications faster and with simpler code using this guide to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)
Microsoft Corporation access applications faster and with simpler code using this guide to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). PROGRAMMING ADO delivers practical problem-solving guidance for exploiting the Universal Data Access in ADO. To begin, the author deftly guides you through the ADO object model—sharing his expertise as a Microsoft developer support professional on the properties, methods, and events that most commonly challenge the ADO programmer. You'll learn how to use the ADO Cursor Engine to expedite development—and how to work effectively within its limitations. Then you'll focus on building your proficiency with ADO programming techniques, including ways to:

  • Master the use of Connection, Command, and Recordset objects—and the new Record and Stream objects in ADO 2.5—to programmatically access data in traditional stores and in Internet applications
  • Examine techniques for updating databases—understanding the pros and cons for development time, execution time, flexibility, and control
  • Learn how choosing specific cursor types will affect the performance and scalability of Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, and other databases
  • Use the RAD libraries of the ADO Cursor Engine to Microsoft Corporationbase-independent code that's easier to update and maintain
  • Utilize ADO features to manage transactions in multiuser applications and detect and resolve conflicts
  • Let COM handle interprocess communication between objects
  • Use Remote Data Service to extend your database applications to the Web

    Each chapter includes code examples to help build your comprehension of how ADO objects behave and how to optimize their usage.
