What are Firehose cursors?
Firehose cursors are ADO recordset objects with following properties :
- Cursorlocation : aduseServer
- Cursortype : adOpenForwardOnly
- LockType : adLockReadOnly
- Cachesize : 1
When such cursors are created the recordset values are returned generally using
GetString or GetRows method of the recordset
What is disconnected recordset?
Disconnected recordsets are ADO recordsets with following properties
- Cursorlocation : adUseClient
- Cursortype : adOpenStatic
- LockType : adLockBatchOptimistic
Also, you need to set the activeconnection to nothing once you run the query.
set rs.ActiveConnection=nothing
set myfunction=rs
Note that update method on disconnected recordset updates records from the recordset
only. To update the changes to the database you must call updatebatch method.
