ACTIVEX DATA OBJECTS (ADO) REFERENCE

ASP's primary interface to relational databases is through Microsoft's ActiveX

Data Objects (ADO). This ability to access multiple types of data stores,

along with a relatively simple and flat object model, make ADO the simplest

method yet devised for retrieving data.

The three main objects in the ADO object model and their most useful and

common methods are reviewed here. In ADO, there are often several ways to

accomplish a task. However, there are reasons why you should prefer one

object or method instead of another.
