I access Postgresql through the ODBC driver, and always only read small
recordsets (never updating them) with forward cursors.
The following options are defined in ADO with which I can create a
recordset with:
Cursor types:
adOpenForwardOnly (what I currently use)
adOpenKeyset
adOpenDynamic
adOpenStatic
Lock types:
adLockReadOnly
adLockPessimistic
adLockOptimistic (what I currently use)
adLockBatchOptimistic
Do any of these offer a performance gain over others? I used to use
adLockReadOnly with MS-SQL which really sped things up but this doesn't
seem to work at all under Postgresql and I've been using
adLockOptimistic instead.
Yours Unwhettedly,
Robert John Shepherd.
