*********************************
ODBC - Open DataBase Connectivity
*********************************
Basic Steps
Connecting to the SQL Server DataBase for retrieving information from tables
*************************************************************
The steps 1 - 3 are for connecting to the SQL Server Database
*************************************************************
1. Allocate ODBC Environment Handle
If SQLAllocEnv(glEnv) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to initialize ODBC API drivers!"
End
End If
______________________________________________________________
2. Allocate ODBC Database Handle
Dim iStatus As Integer
If SQLAllocConnect(glEnv, glDbc) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Could not allocate memory for connection Handle!"
ODBCInit = False
' Free the Environment
iStatus = SQLFreeEnv(lEnv)
If iStatus = SQL_ERROR Then
MsgBox "Error Freeing Environment From ODBC Drivers"
End If
' Quit the Application
End
End If
______________________________________________________________
3. Connect using the sConnect string - SQLDriverConnect
Dim sResult As String
Dim iSize As Integer
Dim sConnect As String
sConnect = "DSN=" & gsDSN & ";UID=" & gsLoginID & ";PWD=" & gsPassword & ";APP=" & gsAppCode & ";DATABASE=" & gsDatabase
If SQLDriverConnect(glDbc, Screen.ActiveForm.hWnd, sConnect, Len(sConnect), sResult, Len(sResult), iSize, 0) <= 0 Then
MsgBox "Could not establish connection to ODBC driver!"
End If
______________________________________________________________
***************************************************
The steps 4 - 8 are for retrieving data from tables
***************************************************
4. Allocate ODBC Statement Handle
If SQLAllocStmt(glDbc, glStmt) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Could not allocate memory for a statement handle!"
End If
______________________________________________________________
5. Execute ODBC Statement - SQLExecDirect
Dim lRet As Long, lErrNo As Long
Dim iLen As Integer
Dim sSQLState As String * MAX_DATA_BUFFER
Dim sErrorMsg As String * MAX_DATA_BUFFER
Dim sMsg As String
sSQL = "SELECT name, location FROM authors"
If SQLExecDirect(glStmt, sSQL, Len(sSQL)) <> SQL_SUCCESS Then
' Also Check for ODBC Error message - SQLError
lRet = SQLError(glEnv, gldbc, glStmt, sSQLState, lErrNo, sErrorMsg, MAX_DATA_BUFFER, iLen)
sMsg = "Error Executing SQL Statement" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)
sMsg = sMsg & "ODBC State = " & Trim$(Left$(sSQLState, InStr(sSQLState, Chr$(0)) - 1)) & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)
sMsg = sMsg & "ODBC Error Message = " & Left$(sErrorMsg, iLen)
MsgBox sMsg, vbInformation, "Execute Query"
End If
______________________________________________________________
6. Fetch one row of results from executed ODBC Statement - SQLFetch
Code in Step 7.
______________________________________________________________
7. Get the Data in each field of the Fetched row - SQLGetData
Dim bPerform As Integer, iStatus As Integer
Dim sData As String * MAX_DATA_BUFFER
Dim lOutLen As Long
bPerform = SQLFetch(glStmt)
Do While bPerform
bPerform = SQLFetch(lStmt) ' Get the next row of data
If bPerform = SQL_SUCCESS Then ‘ If rows of data available
bPerform = True
' Get Author Name - iColumn = 1 for first field i.e. name in sSQL
iStatus = SQLGetData(glStmt, iColumn, 1, sData, MAX_DATA_BUFFER, lOutLen)
' lOutlen = length of the valid data in sData
' Data value will be = Left$(sData, lOutlen), lOutlen = -1 if no data or Null data
' Get Location - iColumn = 2 for second field i.e. location in sSQL
iStatus = SQLGetData(glStmt, iColumn, 1, sData, MAX_DATA_BUFFER, lOutLen)
' Add the Field Data to Correponding Data Display Controls for this row
Else
bPerform = False ' No more rows available
End If
Loop
'Release the ODBC Statement Handle
bPerform = SQLFreeStmt(glStmt, SQL_DROP)
______________________________________________________________
8. Release the ODBC Statement Handle - SQLFreeSTmt
Code in Step 7.
______________________________________________________________
*******************************************************************
The steps 9 - 11 are for Disconnecting from the SQL Server DataBase
*******************************************************************
9. Disconnect from ODBC Database - SQLDisconnect
iStatus = SQLDisconnect(glDbc)
______________________________________________________________
10. Release the ODBC Database Handle - SQLFreeConnect
iStatus = SQLFreeConnect(glDbc)
______________________________________________________________
11. Release the ODBC Environment Handle - SQLFreeEnv
iStatus = SQLFreeEnv(glEnv)
______________________________________________________________
