Question on ODBC 32 bit driver, and RDC/RDO
Dear Remote database guru's:
I am reading the book " Teach yourself database programming
with VB 5 in 21 days" I am currently on a chapter dealing with Remote
database programming, and I just need to get a few questions answered
dealing with the 32 bit ODBC and the RDC or RDO.
First is this a correct understanding of the 32 ODBC. That it
acts like a intermediate between the RDC/RDO ( on a Work Station ) and
a remote database server. In other words is it a driver that connects
the RDC and a remote database, on a remote server...?
Secondly Could someone please explain to me what the
difference is between the "rdOpenDynamic" and "rdOpenKeyset" dataset
types. The only thing I can come up with is that the OpenDynamic
copy's actual records to a workstation's memory and the OpenKeyset
copy's pointers for speed. Is that ever close...?
Thanks
Dave LaPorte.
