Re: vb6 inquiry

I was under the impression that psqlODBC does not support server side cursors. Therefore the correct way
to retrieve data is to use a client side cursor (adUseClient). This is inline with a "disconnected" model
that returns all the requested records immediately, instead of waiting for the client to cursor through
them. This also is supposed to allow a more immediate release of the connection, ultimately providing
greater scalability. (Is scalability still a buzz-word?).

BTW your sample specifies a LockType in two places. It's ok, but you don't really need that. I think the
one on the rs.Open line is good enough.



Note:
adUseServer=2
adUseClient=3
