DataSource (gb.db2.form)

DataSource is a Container that provides data from a database to all its children and grand-children recursively: It uses its Table and Filter properties and an open Connection to make a Result object. From this Result, it fills its children controls.

The database is defined by the Connection property.

The DataSource is optimized so that it will extract the data from the database incrementally.
