Understanding recordsets

When using a database as a content source for a dynamic web page, you must first create a 
recordset in which to store the retrieved data. Recordsets serve as an intermediary between the 
database storing the content and the application server generating the page. Recordsets consist 
of the data returned by a database query, and are temporarily stored in the application server’s 
memory for faster data retrieval. The server discards the recordset when it is no longer needed.
