Using ADO, I can set currency options using LockType property of Recordset object, in ODBC I have stament attribute SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY. How can I do this using sdac? thx.

ADO applications

Specify adLockReadOnly, adLockPessimistic, adLockOptimistic, or adLockBatchOptimistic in the LockType property of a Recordset object.


ODBC applications

Set the statement attribute SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY to SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY, SQL_CONCUR_ROWVER, SQL_CONCUR_VALUES, or SQL_CONCUR_LOCK.

[/code]

As SDAC uses OLE DB, it doesn't support such functionality.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. OLE DB should be a replacement and successor for ODBC - does it then mean, that OLE DB does not implement all options of its predecessor? Also ADO is only a higher-level API to OLE DB. So, I assume, the OLE DB should have such functionality... Or am I somehow wrong?

I can even read following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 supports a range of concurrency control. Users specify the type of concurrency control by selecting transaction isolation levels for connections or concurrency options on cursors. These attributes can be defined using Transact-SQL statements, or through the properties and attributes of database application programming interfaces (APIs) such as ADO, ADO.NET, OLE DB, and ODBC.

In OLE DB you can specify the type of concurrency control by selecting transaction isolation levels for connections, or/and cursor type for record sets.
