ADO Examples and Best Practices

ADO (Active Data Objects) is how the millions of Visual Basic
programmers hitch onto Microsoft's amazing "Universal
Database Access" strategy. But power breeds complexity, and
using ADO isn't trivial! This book is based on best-selling
author Bill Vaughn's years of experience working with front-line
data access developers and the development teams at
Microsoft itself. Now, this Microsoft veteran translates his
insights and collected wisdom of over a decade at Microsoft
into working solutions for the common (and some not so
common) data-related problems developers face every day.
ADO Examples and Best Practices focuses on addressing data
problems at the root - through better designs and better ADO
coding practices. These suggestions often yield far better
performance - both for the developer (who is able to write
better code more quickly), and for the application (it runs
faster with less resources). About the Author: William R.
