[[da:ADO]]

[[es:ADO]]

Microsoft '''ADO''' (ActiveX Data Objects) is a [[Component object model]] object for accessing data sources. It provides a layer between [[programming language]]s and [[database]]s, which allows a developer to write programs which access data, without knowing how the database is implemented. No knowledge of [[SQL]] is required to access a database when using ADO, although one can use ADO to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The disadvantage of this is that this introduces a dependency upon the database.
