Which of the following database technologies provides functionality similar to the
JDBC API’s RowSet facility?
A.
RDS
B.
ADO
C.
OLE DB
D.
DAP
E.
ODBC
Explanation:
Quoted directly from Sun’s Java document site at
http//developer.java.sun.com/ Microsoft has introduced new APIs beyond ODBC
such as OLE (Object Linking and Embedding. DB, ADO (ActiveX Data Objects.,
and RDS (Remote Data Service.. In many ways these APIs move in the same
direction as the JDBC API. For example, OLE DB and ADO are also
object-oriented interfaces to databases that can be used to execute SQL statements.
However, OLE DB is a low-level interface designed for tools rather than developers.
ADO is newer and more like the JDBC API, but it is not pure Java. RDS provides
functionality similar to the JDBC API’s RowSet facility, but RDS is also not written
in the Java programming language, and it is not portable.
