What is RDO?
Remote Data Objects is an object-oriented database programming
interface. RDO is not a database engine but rather a thin layer of
code implemented on top of ODBC. In other words, RDO is Visual Basic's
interface to the ODBC API, and, like the ODBC API, it uses SQL statements
to access and query ODBC data sources. While RDO can access any ODBC data
source (desktop database files, back-end SQL servers, and so on), it has
been optimized to take advantage of sophisticated query engines in
products such as Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 and Oracle 7 Server.
There are five main advantages to using RDO when compared with the ODBC
API:
- You don't need to learn how to use the ODBC API from Visual Basic
- Performance approximates that of the ODBC API
- RDO is a native Visual Basic programming interface
- Remote data control and data-bound control models are available
- The ODBC API can be used in conjunction with RDO
