SQL Property

Applies To

Description

Returns or sets the SQL statement used to create the specified dynaset or OraSQLStmt object. Not available at design time and read/write at run time.

Usage

SQL_statement  = oradynaset.SQL
SQL_statement  = orasqlstmt.SQL
 
oradynaset.SQL = SQL_statement 
orasqlstmt.SQL = SQL_statement

Data Type

String

Remarks

The first use returns the contents of the SQL statement buffer, and the second use sets the contents of the SQL statement buffer.

The SQL statement buffer initially contains the SQL statement used to create the dynaset or OraSQLStmt object. The contents of the SQL statement buffer are executed whenever the Refresh method is issued.

Examples

This example demonstrates the use of parameters, the Refresh method, and the SQL property to restrict selected records. Copy and paste this code into the definition section of a form. Then, press F5.

Sub Form_Load ()
 
 'Declare variables as OLE Objects.
 Dim OraSession As OraSession 
 Dim OraDatabase As OraDatabase 
 Dim OraDynaset As OraDynaset 
 
 'Create the OraSession Object.
 Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
 
 'Create the OraDatabase Object by opening a connection to Oracle.
 Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase("ExampleDb", "scott/tiger", 0&)
 
 'Create a parameter with an initial value.
 OraDatabase.Parameters.Add "job", "MANAGER", 1
 
 'Create the OraDynaset Object.
 Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset("select * from emp where " & _
               "job=:job", 0&)
 
 'Notice that the SQL statement is NOT modified.
 MsgBox OraDynaset.SQL
 
 'Currently, OraDynaset only contains employees whose job is MANAGER.
 
 'Change the value of the job parameter.
 OraDatabase.Parameters("job").Value = "SALESMAN"
 
 'Refresh the dynaset.
 OraDynaset.Refresh
 
 'Currently, OraDynaset only contains employees whose 'job is SALESMAN.
 
 'Notice that the SQL statement is NOT modified.
 MsgBox OraDynaset.SQL
 
 'Remove the parameter.
 OraDatabase.Parameters.Remove ("job")
