Microsoft ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) is a Component object
model object for accessing data sources.The ADO Recordset
object is used to hold a set of records from a database
table. A Recordset object consist of records and columns
(fields).
In ADO, this object is the most important and the one used
most often to manipulate data from a database.
Srvname is a connection string.if u already installed
oracle in your system..using that path u can connect oracle
database...if u dont have oracle give the conncetion string
path..whatever connection string created used in database
checkpoint by
default...Example:DSN=QT_Flight32;DBQ=C:\Program
Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest
Professional\samples\flight\app\flight32.mdb;Driver=C:\WINDO
WS\system32\odbcjt32.dll;DriverId=281;FIL=MS
Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;
