Chapter 21. Recordsets
Introduction
Databases are an integral part of many applications, and Flash
Remoting helps to integrate databases into your Flash applications
easily. Data in a database is stored in tables as records. You can
think of a database table as a grid and a record as being a single
row in that table containing data for each column. When data is
retrieved from a database it is stored as a
recordset.
ColdFusion
recordsets are called
Query objects, Java recordsets are called
ResultSet objects,
and .NET recordsets are called
DataTable objects. But regardless of what the
datatype is called in the server-side application, when it is
returned to your Flash movie by way of Flash Remoting it is
automatically converted into a RecordSet object.
See Recipe 20.22 for more information
on retrieving a recordset.
The RecordSet class is part
of the Flash Remoting Components
installation. To include the class in your Flash movies, you should
include the NetServices.as file:
#include "NetServices.as"
If you are using client-side recordsets only, it is sufficient to
include RecordSet.as instead of
NetServices.as.
