ADO RDS Programming with ASP

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.0 is the latest data manipulation toolset that can be used to develop enterprise business solutions. ADO 2.0 is an integral component in enterprise business solutions, including internet/intranet applications, as it combines high-speed access to data and a flexible data structure with its simple interface. Remote Data Services (RDS) is a high-performance client-side data caching technology that transports data in intranet/internet solutions. RDSs real power is derived from its foundation: ADO. Using RDS and ADO in ASP yields powerful Web-based solutions that can be built upon a multitude of data resources.
This book exploits the real world experiences of expert ADO/RDS trainers and developers who know how to squeeze the most out of these hot topics. This book helps jump start development by assuming that the reader has a basic knowledge of ASP, VBScript and SQL. As a result, the examples will start off short, tight and to the point to express the ADO/RDS techniques. Then, the topics will expand into real world scenarios to show how flexible and powerful ADO and RDS can be. There will be several real world solutions shown using screen shots always accompanied by their code samples to further express the topics.
ADO sometimes should be implemented slightly different depending on the data provider. This book concentrates on using ADO in ASP to access data in a SQL Server database. However, the methods of accessing data in an Oracle database are explained in concise and intuitive code samples as well.
The book offers users a simple explanation of what the ADO/RDS toolsets consist of including all details properties, methods and events of the object models. The material flows smoothly and concisely from a discussion of each tools features to useful and reusable Web-based scenarios. However, the book leaves room for code samples and screen shots to substantiate all examples.
