Most applications handle data, whether in the form of a database, text file,
spreadsheet, whatever — the majority of modern day programs need access to an

sprung up and the world was at peace.
Today, people are taking advantage of the latest data access technologies to
improve scalability and boost interoperability. But it all needs speeding up -
faster, faster!
And there's a chance that the tools we use today just won't be able to
keep up with this demand. That's why with the .NET move, Microsoft have
unveiled ADO.NET — its "evolutionary" step in data access technologies
that promises the world and infinitely more.
