Google is usually the best place to look for stuff like this.

hi there!
Conn 1, 3 > the value of 0ne (1) is cursor, meaning adOpenKeyset the records added by other users are not visible, but deletions and changes are visible.
The value of Three (3) is lock, meaning adLockOptimistic employs optimistic record locking.
those are the parameters that will use everytime we connect in database.

see yah!
