Ultimate GetRows by Charles Carroll

Sure GetRows is fast and improves scalability. I discussed why
http://www.learnasp.com/advice/whygetrows.asp
But it is a pain because it transfers the recordset into a multi-dimensional array and the code to walk the array is complex and re-usability is low. Well thanks to the magic of dictionaries we can produce clever templates that interact with GetRows and never have to worry again.

"The Worlds Fastest Listbox"
http://www.learnasp.com/freebook/asp/speedappdata.aspx
shows the only faster way to display databases.

I have now made a huge library I am maintaining and constantly adding features to that encapsulates the power of Getrows/Getstring but takes away the complexity and incorporates caching. see:
http://www.learnasp.com/freebook/asp/rsfast.aspx
for my library that makes Getrows/Getstring easy.

There are many worthy charities!!. But perhaps help starving children in Africa or South America AND help Charles too. a $5 tip buys him lunch at McDonalds, a $20 tip buys his kid Hitoshi a new computer game, a $39 tip buys his daughter Michiko a few nice outfits. See our donor list.
