I don't see how those are any less confusing, since those unfamiliar
with client-server development could just as easily assume that the
cursor is also connected live to the database, and 'DataSet' sounds
just like 'DataBase'.
The problem is simply getting to understand client-server
development. I've seen this same confusion in VFP developers who are
used to live table access when they first switch to MySQL or SQL
Server or some other server backend for their data. They are used to
thinking that when they edit a value in a textbox, they are editing
it in the database, and have a difficult time making the leap to
thinking in terms of disconnected data.
