---|---|
Runs the specified query on the database. | |
Syntax | DBExecute (mdbpath, sql) |
Inputs | mdbpath: The path relative to the PROGRAM_PATH folder where the mdb file can be found. sql: SQL query to be executed. |
Outputs | The number of effected rows. |
Examples | DBExecute("abc", "UPDATE TABLE1 SET CODE=""Pink"" WHERE CODE=""Red""") would change all codes which are Red to Pink and return the number of fields changed. |
DBLookup | |
---|---|
Returns the value of a single field in the first result of the query. | |
Syntax | DBLookup (mdbpath, sql, param, field) |
Inputs | mdbpath: The path relative to the PROGRAM_PATH folder where the mdb file can be found. sql: SQL query to be executed, must have a parameter represented by a '?' Param: The value of the parameter field from the SQL query Field: The database field to return the value of. |
Outputs | The value of the field specified in the resulting SQL result. |
Notes | Queries should usually be designed to return just one record, but if more than one record is returned, the first matching record will be used. |
Examples | DBLookup("abc", "SELECT CODE,COST FROM TABLE1 WHERE CODE=?","Red","COST") will return the cost field in the row of Table1 in abc.mdb who's code is "Red". |

Inputs | mdbpath: The path relative to the PROGRAM_PATH folder where the mdb file can be found. sql: SQL query to be executed Field: The column header of the column of results desired. |
Outputs | The specified column of the SQL result in an array. |
Examples | DBLookupCol("abc", "SELECT CODE,COST FROM TABLE1","COST") will return the cost of every item in table1 in abc.mdb as an array. |
