VBS: Example Query Anyone? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Does anyone have an example query to run against an slx db? I'm using:

Sub SLX_Test()

Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objCmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set objRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SLXOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=slxcat;Data Source=myslxserver;Extended Properties=PORT=1706;LOG=ON;Location=;Mode=ReadWrite"

objCmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM TICKET WHERE TICKETID='001-00-025850'"

objRS.Open objCmd

While Not objRS.EOF
MsgBox objRS("AREA")
objRS.MoveNext
Wend

objRS.Close
objConn.Close
Set objRS = Nothing
Set objCmd = Nothing
Set objConn = Nothing
End Sub

But I get an error: Run-time error '3709': The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context. TIA

The error you are getting is because your query is not returning any records.

TicketId's are 12 characters and start with t.

The value you are passing is actually the TicketNumber field, which is calculated.
What you want to do is to modify your while loop

While not (objRS.EOF or objRS.BOF)
....
wend

That will take care of the error.

The null recordset means that you either need to change to passing it a ticketid, or query against the component parts of the ticketnumber field - alternatekeyprefix & alternatekeysuffix.

Actually, the error message that you are getting is because you are never opening a connection.
After you set the ConnectionString property, you need to open the connection:
objConn.Open

Towards the end you have remembered to "close" the connection, but as stated, you never opened it to begin with.

thanx guys; especially Raul. here is the code that works:

Sub SLX_Test()

Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SLXOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=SLX_DB;Data Source=SLX_Server;Extended Properties=PORT=1706;LOG=ON;Location=;Mode=ReadWrite"
objConn.Open

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM sysdba.TICKET WHERE AREA LIKE 'Manager'"

objRS.Open strSQL, objConn, 3, 3

While Not objRS.EOF
MsgBox objRS("AREA")
objRS.MoveNext
Wend

objRS.Close
objConn.Close
Set objRS = Nothing
Set objConn = Nothing
End Sub
