Executive Summary: You can use ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to manipulate Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access data. You can run action queries such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, call stored procedures, use ADO recordsets to modify data,. insert XML and binary data into SQL Server and Access databases, handle ADO errors, and define transactions. |
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) is a set of COM objects that provide an interface between VBScript (as well as other programming languages) and the OLE DB provider specific to Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access. In "
Accessing Database Data with ADO" (InstantDoc ID 99419), I provided an overview of the ADO object model and explained how to use the ADO objects to retrieve data. In this article, I describe how to use ADO to manipulate SQL Server and Access data. You’ll learn how to run action queries such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, call stored procedures, and use ADO recordsets to modify data. You’ll also learn how to insert XML and binary data into SQL Server and Access databases, handle ADO errors, and define transactions.
You should be knowledgeable about VBScript and familiar with general database concepts. In addition, if you don’t know how to use ADO to retrieve data, be sure to read "Accessing Database Data with ADO" first. You can also refer to the ADO API Reference at MSDN for specific details about the ADO objects and their methods and properties. . . .
