ADO (ActiveX Data Objects)

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) is a set of software tools that allows applications to connect to, retrieve, and manage data from databases easily. Think of it as a bridge that simplifies communication between your program and data storage systems like SQL databases. ADO enables developers to perform tasks such as reading, updating, or deleting data without needing to understand complex database processes. It is widely used in applications to make data handling more efficient and accessible, helping software interact smoothly with stored information across various environments.
