AUTODB Object
AUTODB Object
The AUTODB object provides a mechanism for accessing external data using ODBC. Some knowledge of SQL is
necessary to do table manipulation.
Methods
Some knowledge of SQL is necessary to use these methods.
Connect(ConnectInformation As String)
Contains a connect string that will ultimately be used for an SQLDriverConnect call. An example is
DSN=oracledata;DBQ=data_o7555;UID=UserID; pwd=userPassword
See the automation example code for further examples.
Disconnect() As Boolean
Shuts down the connection.
ExecuteSql(SQLStatement As String) As Boolean
Executes the SQL statement and returns a boolean to indicate success or failure.
Note:
The SQL statement cannot be a Select statement that returns a record set. To send Select statements, use
ExecuteSqlSelect(SQLSelectStatement As String) As DataTable.
ExecuteSqlSelect(SQLSelectStatement As String) As DataTable
Executes the SQL Select statement and returns a dispatch pointer to the newly loaded table.
Note:
The SQL Statement must be a Select statement that returns a record set. For other SQL commands, use
ExecuteSql(SQLStatement As String) As Boolean.
GetLastError()
Returns the error code from the last Connect or ExecuteSQL call.
OpenTable(TableName As String) As DataTable
Open the database table, and return a dispatch pointer to the JMP table that is created to hold the data.
SaveTable(TablePtr As DataTable, FileName As String)
Given a dispatch pointer to a JMP data table, save the table to the database using the name provided.
