Short note of thanks to Microsoft developer Angel Saenz-Badillos

I asked for comment on this article, and he kindly pointed me to two interesting articles. Many thanks for this assistance! - Ta bu shi da yu 02:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Connection pooling

We need some info about this. See Pooling in the Microsoft Data Access Components. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Page move

I've moved the Microsoft technology variation of this four letter acronym to its full name, Microsoft Data Access Components. While in the scope of computing, MDAC may be a popular acronym, but the full name is certainly a more correct name for the article than its abbreviation, especially in light of there being other uses of the acronym.

In doing so, you did several things.

1. You have removed the page history. I wrote most of this article, and it was all in the page history. I have been forced to do a page merge to get the history back. There are very few advantages to editing Wikipedia: one, however, is that people can see what you wrote. If you remove my page history, you do a disservice to me, and you reduce the incentive to edit the site.
2. This article had a talk page. Where is it now? - fixed - Ta bu shi da yu 15:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
3. It is most commonly known as MDAC, not Microsoft Data Access Components, so this is wrong. We use the most commonly used name.

I realise that you meant well, but please be more careful in future! - Ta bu shi da yu 15:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Windows Data Access Components 6.0 - Windows Vista

I would like to have a seperate section for Windows Data Access Components 6.0, as will be included with Windows Vista: Windows Data Access Components SDK

I also would like to have the MDAC 9.0 beta out of the MDAC Release list, since it was never an official release. MDAC 9.0 is replaced by SQL Native CLient.

Thank you.
