Inhaltsangabe

To some extent, says the author of ADO Programming For Dummies®, everything is a database. The world is loaded with information, and that information can be stored in so many different ways – in books, in file cabinets, on floppy disks, even in your grandma’s memory. You need to use a different method to access, add to, or modify the data in each of those databases. (In the case of Grandma’s recollections, you may find the data write-protected and not subject to change!)

It was the same with the various electronic databases before ADO came along. ADO, short for ActiveX Data Objects, provides a simple yet marvelously powerful set of tools that allows you to work with all sorts of databases. You can use ADO code in

• Web pages
• Access desktop databases
• Microsoft Office applications
• Visual Basic 6.0
• Your own custom-designed ActiveX objects

If you need to locate, retrieve, or manipulate data from Access, SQL Server, Oracle, or others, ADO Programming For Dummies guides you through ADO programming absolutely painlessly.

First, you’ll get a quick look at how ADO solves problems. Then you start getting your feet wet by applying ADO in your work situation. ADO Programming For Dummies shows you how to

• Address a wide range of data sources using ADO objects, properties, and methods
• Create applications with the ADO data access programming model
• Take advantage of ADO’s cross-network capability
• Use ADO with Active Server Pages, dynamic HTML, XML and other technologies
• Program Web pages that work with all browsers
• Apply ADO with non-relational data sources like file and mail systems

ADO lets you read, write, add, and delete data from all sorts of sources, and this book makes ADO easy to understand. The CD-ROM contains code for all the applications, sample data sources, and Microsoft Data Access Components, and if you don’t have access to an SQL server, the examples in the book will direct you to one available on the Web. Before you know it, you’ll be using ADO without further ado.
