Yes but it has it's own object library with Connect methods, etc.  It uses ResultSets in place of recordsets and it looks like you use them in the same manner.  Check out this link from their on-line documentation to see VB code calling on a Cache object to get data (watch for wrapping):

Does this mean that you can handle it pretty much like, say, DAO or
ADO?

Like:

  Dim dbs As InterSystemsDb (?)
  Dim rst As Recordset
  
  Set dbs = IDB.OpenDatabase(<connection info>)
  Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset()
  ...

?
