Some basic steps are required in order to be able to access and manipulate data using ADO : Create a connection object to connect to the database. Create a recordset object in order to receive data in. Open the connection; Populate the recordset by opening it and passing the desired table name or SQL statement as a parameter to open function.
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC; also known as Windows DAC) is a framework of interrelated Microsoft technologies that allows programmers a uniform and comprehensive way of developing applications that can access almost any data store. Its components include: ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), OLE DB, and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
ActiveX Document is a Microsoft technology that allows users to view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PDF documents inside web browsers. Active Messaging, later renamed Collaboration Data Objects; Active Server Pages (ASP) ActiveMovie, later renamed DirectShow; ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)
ActiveX Data Objects ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) As well as DAO and ADO, developers can also use OLE DB and ODBC for developing native C/C++ programs for Access. [45] For ADPs and the direct manipulation of SQL Server data, ADO is required.
A command object can be used by simply specifying a table name or a stored procedure as the command text, it need not be an SQL statement. However depending on your table size, row length, the information you are retrieving, it might be better to issue an SQL statement, since you can select a subset of columns and use a WHERE clause to filter.
The DM can enumerate the installed drivers and present this as a list, often in a GUI-based form. But more important to the operation of the ODBC system is the DM's concept of a Data Source Name (DSN). DSNs collect additional information needed to connect to a specific data source, versus the DBMS itself.
OLE DB (Object Linking and Embedding, Database, sometimes written as OLEDB or OLE-DB) is an API designed by Microsoft that allows accessing data from a variety of sources in a uniform manner. The API provides a set of interfaces implemented using the Component Object Model (COM); it is otherwise unrelated to OLE .
Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface technology for software components from Microsoft that enables using objects in a language-neutral way between different programming languages, programming contexts, processes and machines.
