Using data source events

The DataSource object exposes methods that are similar to events when used inside the global script. The main purpose of this object is to allow access to non-ADO compatible databases.

When using this object, you need to check the Use global script to access data source option from the project properties box.

The recommended method to customize the code for non-ADO compatible databases is to create your project checking the I don't have a database, create one for me option in the project wizard, and edit the global script from the global view using the following events:
