Basic Usage

Some basic steps are required in order to be able to access and manipulate data using ADO :

  1. Create a connection object to connect to the database.
  2. Create a recordset object in order to receive data in.
  3. Open the connection
  4. Populate the recordset by opening it and passing the desired table name or SQL statement as a parameter to open function.
  5. Do all the desired searching/processing on the fetched data.
  6. Commit the changes you made to the data (if any) by using Update or UpdateBatch methods.
  7. Close the recordset
  8. Close the connection

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or usage:

    “The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort?... Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)

    “I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
