[AccessD] ADO Save recordset format adPersistADTG

No it wasn't.  The ADTG format was not XML, it emulated a Jet table.
XML was the human readable version.

I dont know if this is still in general use but the human readable
version rather than binary can be seen using adPersistXML If you look it
has a self-contained XML schema along with the XML data. I think it was
brought in 1999 to help speed and was the first use of disconnected
recordsets and offline editing. I rember it causing a lot of confusion
with people using XML at the time. Because the resulting human readable
XML format was also called ADTG format.

 Advanced Data TableGram (ADTG)
