[AccessD] ADO Save recordset format adPersistADTG

This reference  gives an example of what it's for. The idea is you can
create an application that uses database methods, without there actually
being a database!

Hi all

With ADO you can save a recordset to a file, normally an XML file, but
another format, Microsoft Advanced Data TableGram, exists:

  rst.Save "d:\temp\records.dat", adPersistADTG

Where or why could this binary format be used? 
It creates file sizes about 1/3 of the XML file created if adPersistXML had
been used. Is it just a proprietary format for storing and retrieval of data
to/from a single external file?
