ADO recordset question
-
Is it possible to get a reference (pointer) to the actual data stored in a recordset, rather than a local copy? All the functions we have found return data by value. However, we want the fastest mechanism for getting at large volumes of data and so don't want to perform copies every time an item is accessed. Thanks in advance! Visit my website![^]

Connected recordset is the closest thing to actual data you can get. So if you have ADO Recordset object (not disconnected), you can call Update method to modify data. There is no way you can get a pointer to physical data. If you OLE DB directly (bypassing ADO), you can retrieve and modify data in a more efficient way.

Thanks for your help, Vagif. It's a shame you can't get a pointer to the physical data. Nevermind. I guess your sig could say: ADO is for sissies. Real men use OLE DB. And the most hardcore types use only db library!!! :laugh::laugh: Cheers! Visit my website![^]
