[thelist] Insert Nothing

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi,

This is a OT to your original question, but you should *never* use the
code below (it's similar to the code that Ultradev used to
autogenerate)

In your code you are:
a) opening a recordset to do an insert
b) you are implicitly opening an ADO connection. You do not have a
direct reference to that ADO connection, so you can't automatically
"release" to return it to the connection pool

If you really want to use a recordset to insert or update data, then you should:
a) explicty open a connection
b) SET the recordset's .ActiveConnection to the connection (if you
don't use SET, you are doing an implicit LET)

Personally I recommend using either an ADO command object -or- using
an SQL statement.

Some reading I recommend;

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=191572
INFO: Connection Pool Management by ADO Objects Called From ASP
(notice the box in the first column, third row)

Pooling in the Microsoft Data Access Components:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmdac/html/pooling2.asp

Your code, if you use a recordsetm it should look like:

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open <conn string>

Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set objRS.ActiveConnection = objConn  ' <- note Set

(otherwise, if you use a LET, you are accessing the *default property*
of objConn which is .ConnectionString, which results in an implicit
creation of another connection object).

Cheers
Ken
