(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
It is positioned as a successor to Microsoft's earlier object layers for accessing data sources, including RDO (Remote Data Objects) and DAO (Data Access Objects).
ADO consists of several top-level objects:
dim myconnection, myrecordset, name
set myconnection = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
set myrecordset = server.createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
myconnection.open mydatasource
myrecordset.open "Phonebook", myconnection
myrecordset.find "PhoneNumber = '555-5555'"
name = myrecordset.fields.item("Name")
myrecordset.close
set myrecordset = nothing
set myconnection = nothing
This is equivalent to the following ASP code, which uses plain SQL, instead of the functionality of the Recordset object:
dim myconnection, myrecordset, name
set myconnection = server.createobject("ADODB.connection")
myconnection.open mydatasource
set myrecordset = myconnection.execute("SELECT Name FROM Phonebook WHERE PhoneNumber = '555-5555'")
name = myrecordset(0)
myrecordset.close
set myrecordset = nothing
set myconnection = nothingSource: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "ADO."
