[thelist] Pass ASP query string to SQL statement

[Ken Schaefer]

a) This code isn't very good because you are implicitly opening an ADO Connection object. How are you going to close/dispose of that object?

Instead, explicitly open a connection object, then dispose of it when you don't need it

b) The Jet OLEDB Provider is far more robust than the Access ODBC driver that you are using. The ODBC driver stopped being developed many years ago

c) Don't use "magic numbers" - if you need to, include a reference to the ADO type library, and then you can use named constants.

CursorType = 1 is adOpenKeyset. Not supported by Access
CursorLocation = 1 is undefined. The only valid values are adUseClient (3) and adUseServer (2)

Check my site if you want to background reading on cursors etc

Cheers
Ken

Subject: [thelist] Pass ASP query string to SQL statement


I have
<%
vidid = request.querystring("id")
MY_STRING = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=\videos.mdb"
Server.ScriptTimeout = 180
Dim videos
Set videos = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
videos.ActiveConnection = MY_STRING
videos.Source = "SELECT * FROM videos where active=Yes and Id ='" & vidid &
"'"
videos.CursorType = 1
videos.CursorLocation = 1
videos.LockType = 1
videos.Open()
%>
But I get:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e21'

ODBC driver does not support the requested properties.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Just to make sure the 'dumb' questions have been asked... :)
I assume you have checked that Google is able to reach your feed file,
and nothing has changed to stop it?
It definitely happens!
