VBScript Database Programming Tutorial322

VBScript is a scripting language that can be used to automate tasks in a variety of applications, including databases. VBScript can be used to create and modify databases, execute queries, and retrieve data from databases.## Creating a Database
To create a database in VBScript, you can use the `CreateObject()` function to create a new instance of the `` object. The `ConnectionString` property of the `` object specifies the connection string to the database. The following code shows how to create a new database named "myDatabase":```vbscript
Set conn = CreateObject("")
= "Provider=.4.0;Data Source="
```
## Modifying a Database
To modify a database in VBScript, you can use the `Execute()` method of the `` object. The `Execute()` method takes a SQL statement as its argument. The following code shows how to add a new table to the "myDatabase" database:```vbscript
"CREATE TABLE myTable (id INT, name VARCHAR(255))"
```
## Executing Queries
To execute a query in VBScript, you can use the `Execute()` method of the `` object. The `Execute()` method takes a SQL statement as its argument. The following code shows how to execute a query that retrieves all of the rows from the "myTable" table:```vbscript
Set rs = ("SELECT * FROM myTable")
```
## Retrieving Data
To retrieve data from a query result set, you can use the `Fields()` collection of the `` object. The `Fields()` collection contains the values of the fields in the current row of the result set. The following code shows how to retrieve the value of the "id" field from the current row of the result set:```vbscript
id = ("id")
```
## Closing the Database
When you are finished working with a database, you should close the connection to the database. This will release the resources that were used by the connection. The following code shows how to close the connection to the "myDatabase" database:```vbscript
```
