Re: Best practices in ADO

Yes it is. Other books on ADO I have, mostly by WROX press and they dissect
ADO, analysing things by ADO objects, properties, methods, events and all of
them have only a thin chapter on best practices - virtually nothing on ADO
or its inner secrets. They are scanty on examples as well. Examples mostly
in VB, some VC, some Java

The original "ADO Examples and Best Practices" from Apress with the deep
cherry purple and white cover was the best book on ADO. Examples were in VB,
nothing in VC++.

The successor covering ADO & ADO.NET in purple and white I know less well -
but I have.
The only disappointment I had was that the Record object was not covered
that well - it can be used to save 15% of time for a single record SELECT
compared to an equivalent 1 record Recordset.

Imagine if I wrote a book on Albert Einstein and in my book all I covered
was his height, weight, eye colour, shoe size, shirt size, trouser size, his
nationality, where he was born, where he died, who he married, how many
children he had - would that cover his life?
