For every
developer who's uttered "I wish I knew that
before I started writing all this code!"
PROGRAMMING ADO
demonstrates how to save time,
write less code, and build more-powerful data-driven
solutions using Microsoft® ActiveX®
Data Objects (ADO). In
the book's first section, the author
expertly guides readers through the
ADO object
model-sharing his expertise as a Microsoft Developer
Support professional on the properties,
events, and methods that can present the greatest
challenges to the ADO developer. The remainder of the book
is devoted to helping developers
comprehend how ADO objects behave and building their
proficiency with ADO programming techniques. Topics include
connecting to databases;
using the Recordset, Command, and Record and Search objects
to retrieve and manipulate data; updating databases; and
creating remote data
services. Readers can study the features of the ADO cursor
engine in detail, so to learn how cursors work, what their
limitations are, how to shorten
development time, and how to avoid coding themselves into a
corner.
