They are used earlier. they are used for small applications lilke stand alone.RDO, Remore Data Objects are used to access remote databases like Access also. they use ODBC drivers.

DAO came first, and was bundled with Microsoft Access, but it can be used to access other databases as well, but RDO is a better set of objects for accessing other types of remote databases. Both have been superceded by ADO (or ADODB) which are thread-safe and provide more functionality than the earlier DAO and RDO, including disconnected record-sets.
