|
While the database objects are easy to code, they sometimes can
|
||
|
|
adversely affect performance. Coding to the APIs and to stored procedures
|
||
|
|
can be a frustrating endeavor. Fortunately, if you are using Visual Basic
|
||
|
|
Enterprise Edition in the Windows<sup>®</sup> 95 environment, there are additional
|
||
|
|
options. These options are a good compromise between the usability of database
|
||
|
|
objects and the high performance of APIs: Remote Data Objects (RDO) and Remote
|
||
|
|
Data Control (RDC).</li>
