ADO Recordset

To be able to read database data, the data must first be loaded into a recordset. 


Create an ADO Table Recordset

After an ADO Database Connection has been created, as demonstrated in the previous chapter, it is possible to create an ADO Recordset.  

Suppose we have a database named "Northwind", we can get access to the "Customers" table inside the database with the following lines:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Customers", conn
%>


Create an ADO SQL Recordset

We can also get access to the data in the "Customers" table using SQL:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * from Customers", conn
%>


Extract Data from the Recordset

After a recordset is opened, we can extract data from recordset.  

Suppose we have a database named "Northwind", we can get access to the "Customers" table inside the database with the following lines:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * from Customers", conn
for each x in rs.fields
   response.write(x.name)
   response.write(" = ")
   response.write(x.value)
next
%>


The ADO Recordset Object

The ADO Recordset object is used to hold a set of records from a database table.
