ADOxtra for Macromedia Director

Mapping between Lingo data types and ADO data types

ADOxtra performs automatic type casting to correctly transfer data between Lingo and ADO object and vice versa. Typecasting operations are implicitly performed by ADOxtra while processing Lingo method arguments, returning values, and property values.
ADO and Visual Basic supports rather large amount of data types. Lingo has its own Director specific data types. So, ADOxtra may not find suitable conversion in all cases, although it provides conversion in the most cases. If ADOxtra does not know how to convert the value it will report an error.
See detailed description which types are mapped to which types in Reference section.
