This article covers two advanced ADO topics: creating hierarchical Recordsets (via data shaping) and creating custom Recordsets. Specifically, this article looks at how to create custom hierarchical Recordsets. The reader is required to have a fluid understanding of both data shaping and custom Recordsets.

This is an article on using Recordset. It uses GetRows method to speedup database access. One of the fastest ways of displaying database records with ASP. Sample Database and Code available for download.

Many a time, you are confronted with creating a system DSN for use with ASP. If you have an ISP account, this might take time and more than sometimes - money. This article describes how to use File DSNs and save time and money. Also, you can reuse these DSNs and thus, with some modifications, use the same DSN for as many database connections.

It is an often problem with database intergration when you use a reserved word. Often asked why a script does not work and it quite often comes down the the author setting a field name as a reserved word, confusing SQL and making debugging hard.

This writing will discuss several things to do to ensure the application migration carried on in a good way, particularly for ASP Database applications and to overcome possible problems might occurred. Basically, migrating ASP to Linux means you have to convert to database supported by Linux platforms. Currently, Chili!Soft ASP is already supporting MS Access but not all web hosting companies install this feature. They prefer to use more common database in Linux such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Pay attention to some Chili!Soft specific ADO methods and properties, since there are slight differences with IIS ASP. You might need to convert some codes in your applications to make it run in Chili!Soft ASP.
