Create data access applications faster and with simpler code using this expert guide to " Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects " (ADO). " PROGRAMMING ADO " delivers practical problem-solving guidance for exploiting the Universal Data Access in ADO-helping you understand what goes on under the hood so you don't code yourself into a corner. To begin, the author deftly guides you through the ADO object model-sharing his expertise as a Microsoft developer support professional on the properties, methods, and events that most commonly challenge the ADO programmer. You'll learn how to use the ADO Cursor Engine to expedite development and how to work effectively within its limitations. Then you'll focus on building your proficiency with ADO programming techniques, including ways to : Master the use of Connection, Command, and Record set objects-and the new Record and Stream objects in ADO 2*5 to programmatically access data in traditional stores and in Internet applications. Examine techniques for updating data bases-understanding the pros and cons for development time, execution time, flexibility, and control. Learn how choosing specific cursor types will affect the performance and scalability of " Microsoft SQL Server ", " Microsoft Access ", " Oracle ", and other databases. Use the powerful RAD libraries of the ADO Cursor Engine to create data base-independent code that's easier to update and maintain. Utilize ADO features to better manage transactions in multi-user applications and detect and resolve conflicts. Let COM do the dirty work of handling interprocess communication between objects. Use Remote Data Service to extend your database applications to the Web. Each chapter comes packed with code examples-plus "Questions That Should Be Asked More Frequently" to help build your comprehension of how ADO objects behave and how to optimize their usage. Whether you're developing a basic client/server application or a high-stress Web-based solution, " PROGRAMMING ADO " delivers the expert coaching and in-depth information you need to create solid data-access applications faster !
In a world of chaotic alignments, traditional logic with its strict boundaries of truth and falsity has not imbued itself with the capability of reflecting the reality. Despite various attempts to reorient logic, there has remained an essential need for an alternative system that could infuse into itself a representation of the real world. Out of this need arose the system of Neutrosophy (the philosophy of neutralities, introduced by FLORENTIN SMARANDACHE), and its connected logic Neutrosophic Logic, which is a further generalization of the theory of Fuzzy Logic. In this book we study the concepts of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) and their Neutrosophic analogue, the Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs). Fuzzy Cognitive Maps are fuzzy structures that strongly resemble neural networks, and they have powerful and far-reaching consequences as a mathematical tool for modeling complex systems. Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps are generalizations of FCMs, and their unique feature is the ability to handle indeterminacy in relations between two concepts thereby bringing greater sensitivity into the results. Some of the varied applications of FCMs and NCMs which has been explained by us, in this book, include: modeling of supervisory systems; design of hybrid models for complex systems; mobile robots and in intimate technology such as office plants; analysis of business performance assessment; formalism debate and legal rules; creating metabolic and regulatory network models; traffic and transportation problems; medical diagnostics; simulation of strategic planning process in intelligent systems; specific language impairment; web-mining inference application; child labor problem; industrial relations: between employer and employee, maximizing production and profit; decision support in intelligent intrusion detection system; hyper-knowledge representation in strategy formation; female infanticide; depression in terminally ill patients and finally, in the theory of community mobilization and women empowerment relative to the AIDS epidemic.
