ADO Dynamic Properties

Dynamic properties can be added to the Properties collections of the Connection, Command, or Recordset objects. The source for these properties is either a data provider, such as the OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, or a service provider, such as the Microsoft Cursor Service for OLE DB. Refer to the appropriate data provider or service provider documentation for more information about a specific dynamic property.

The ADO Dynamic Property Index provides a cross-reference between the ADO and OLE DB names for each standard OLE DB provider dynamic property.

The following dynamic properties are of special interest, and are also documented in the sources mentioned above. Special functionality with ADO is documented in the ADO help topics listed below.
