2.2.13. ADO Connection object

Connection object ¶

ADO Connection object is used to create an open connection to a data source. Through this connection, you can access and manipulate a database.

If you need to access a database multiple times, you should use the Connection object to establish a connection. You can also go through a Command or Recordset object passes a connection string to create a connection. However, such joins are only suitable for a specific and simple query.
