Data Access and Transactions

The RDS Data Factory and Custom Business Objects

There are two ways to pass a Recordset object back from your server to the client with RDS. You can:

• Use the RDSServer.DataFactory object.
• Create a custom business object that exposes data access methods.

RDS includes a default business object, the RDSServer.DataFactory object, that provides read and write access to data sources, but contains no business rules or application logic. The RDSServer.DataFactory is a server-side business object—specifically an ActiveX dynamic-link library (DLL)—that uses ADO to dispatch SQL statements to a database management system (DBMS) through the OLE DB provider, and packages the results for transfer across the Internet or an intranet.
