ADO Objects and Interfaces

The relationships between these objects are represented in the ADO Object Model.

Each object can be contained in its corresponding collection. For example, an Error object can be contained in an Errors collection. For more information, see ADO Collections or a specific collection topic.

ADORecordConstruction	Constructs an ADO Record object from an OLE DB Row object in a C/C++ application.
ADORecordsetConstruction	Constructs an ADO Recordset object from an OLE DB Rowset object in a C/C++ application.
ADOStreamConstruction	Constructs an ADO Stream object from an OLE DB IStream object in a C/C++ application.
Command	Defines a specific command that you intend to execute against a data source. The Command object is not safe for scripting.
Connection	Represents an open connection to a data source. The Connection object is safe for scripting.
