Rob Windsor, G6 Consulting

Microsoft describes ADO as

... Microsoft's strategic, high-level interface to all kinds of data. ADO provides consistent, high-performance access to data, whether you're creating a front-end database client or middle-tier business object using an application, tool, language, or even an Internet browser. ADO is the single data interface you need to know for 1- to n-tier client/server and Web-based data-driven solution development.

This session will take a look at ADO's roots, the part it plays in Microsoft's Universal Data Access strategy, why you may want to consider using ADO, and how to use ADO with Delphi.
