AW: [pro_vb] Sending Data over RDS using HTTP



NEVER USE RDS


I made so bad experience with rds by passing recordset, string and integer into server dll.
We had problems like Internet Server Error, Internet Client Error, unmatched types etc.
All happens random and doesn't made sense. so we changed all to COM+ (MS DTC) and now it's working perfect!
So I think: when you transfer much data, or have long server processing time. So you should never use rds.
And by working with MS DTC I had all the time troubles with the authentication of a User (I couldn't set the
Authentication to off)


feel free to call for more information

Hi,


    We are in the process of implementing a 3-tier VB/Oracle application. We had been advised to use RDS/HTTP combo instead of DCOM.

    In DCOM we used to use collections to pass data to/from between components, but in RDS over HTTP you cant use collection.

    Reason for using collection is you get key-value pair so no need to keep things in sync. One always accesses data via keys and
that's really good from maint. point of view. 

    Now with RDS only option is variant array, but you have to use indexes and I would prefer not to use them.


    Please advice if you know a better way of doing it.


    This is my first exposure to RDS, so I don't know much about it.


Thanks in advance
