SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Improve Data Access with CursorAdapters - Venelina Jordanova
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The CursorAdapter class has been in VFP since version 8.0 but it's still neglected. Whether connecting data sources or using the class to apply business rules to data, it is a great tool to dig deep into data, with all the power of object oriented programming.=0D=0A=0D=0AThis session will not discuss the CursorAdapter class' basics. The focus is on refinements, and tips and tricks in its usage. The session will demonstrate advanced approaches in data retrieval using parameterized queries, with ideas for how to handle special cases, such as needing more than 256 fields in a cursor, sending updates when querying more than one table in the Select command, and even using stored procedures for retrieving and updating data. =0D=0A=0D=0AAdditionally, we will discuss different data access drivers, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as specifics of several database engines, and ways to debug the commands sent to the database. Retrieving values generated at the server side after inserting and updating are also an important part of database access and the session will reveal these specifics.=0D=0A=0D=0ALast but not least, in a professional application must pay attention to error processing. The CursorAdapter class provides events to help make that better.
