Professional ADO RDS Programming with ASP
Product Description
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.Amazon.com Review
The new ActiveX Database Object (ADO) and Remote Database Services (RDS) standards from Microsoft are still relatively new terrain for Web developers. Professional ADO RDS Programming with ASP provides all you need to know to be successful with these new APIs.
The book begins with a tour of earlier Microsoft database standards–open database connectivity (ODBC), Remote Data Objects (RDO), and Data Access Objects (DAO)–and then moves on to today’s ADO and RDS. The authors provide blow-by-blow coverage of all the major ADO objects and methods along with many useful hints for successful programming. Standout material here is the coverage of ADO data shaping, which allows you to treat joined records as hierarchical record sets.
The authors also cover RDS, which allows you to cache records locally in Internet Explorer 4/5 browsers, even while users are disconnected from the Internet. The book looks at the various options for using ADO/RDS, including strategies for balancing server-side and client-side processing. More advanced sections explore building (and deploying) custom RDS COM servers with Visual Basic. Although much of the material here is Microsoft-specific (and will work best with Internet Explorer and SQL Server), there is also a chapter on accessing Oracle databases. The book closes with 200 pages of reference material, including ADO 2, RDS 2, and object linking and embedding database (OLE-DB) topics. –Richard Dragan

If you do ADO or RDS and don’t have this book, then you must have everything memorized – and more power to you! But for everyone else, this book is a MUST HAVE reference. These guys give the best examples to help you understand everything.

I bought this book because I read review here. I feel this book is great book. I like the Data Shaping and also Disconnected Recordset chapter. I think this book is great for every level of programmer. I didn’t disappoint to spend my money with this book.
If you are working in E-Commerce, database, I would love you to have one.

How do you browse data? How do you deal with a dataset hierarchy, i.e. ‘one to many’ relationship? The answers are in this book. So far I love the book. Just what you would expect when you put together 5 guys that know their stuff and really want to share their knowledge rather than get off on impressing people on what useless things they know. Great for a beginner who has gone through Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0 or has decent experience with VB. Maybe also good for somebody who is advanced. (I’m just past being a beginner.)

This is possibly the best technical book I’ve ever read, and I have a lot of them – buy about 1 a month on average. Before I read this book, I only had a very basic knowledge of ADO. Now, I can do all sorts of funky stuff, much of which I (and probably you!) didn’t even realise you could do with ADO. And then add RDS on top of it, a fairly complex subject…. this book is a winner. Readable, understandable, not patronising but not too techie, moves at a good pace.
