ADO And XML Today
MDAC in Windows® 2000
- Based on 2-tier, extended for 3-tier (RDS)
- Limited XML support (Sucks)
- Object model lumps “connected” and “disconnected” together (RecordSet)
MSXML in Windows 2000
- Document-centric programming model
- Integration with DBMS not easy
- No stream-level support (speed problem)
Not much integration between them
