ASP and Database Support

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

A reader was noticing that many of the examples that he sees use Access as the back-end database. His question was whether ASP supported other databases. The simple answer is yes, ASP supports many databases. If the database has OLE DB support, such as SQL Server or Oracle, you can skip any interfaces with ODBC. If there isn't an OLE DB provider for your database, Microsoft has an OLE DB Provider for ODBC, which can then interface with your (presumably) ODBC-compliant database.
