How To Use Creatable ADO Recordsets in Visual FoxPro

This article was previously published under Q194517

SUMMARY

Often, you find a need for temporary storage for data. ADO 2.x enables you to create recordsets on the fly for this purpose.

MORE INFORMATION

The following example creates an ADO recordset with an integer, varchar and date field, adds two records to it, and displays the contents of all fields in the recordset on the desktop:
   * Demonstrates creating a temporary recordset in ADO
   * Program creates a recordset, adds an integer, varchar
   * and date field, adds two records, and displays the
   * contents of all fields on the desktop

   #DEFINE ADUSECLIENT 3
   #DEFINE ADLOCKBATCHOPTIMISTIC 4
   #DEFINE ADINTEGER 3
   #DEFINE ADVARCHAR 200
   #DEFINE ADDATE 7
   #DEFINE ADFLDISNULLABLE 0x00000020
   #DEFINE ADOPENSTATIC   3

   oRecordSet = CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.Recordset")

   WITH oRecordSet
      * specify client-side cursors
      .CURSORLOCATION = ADUSECLIENT

      * add 3 fields
      .FIELDS.APPEND ("Key", ADINTEGER)
      .FIELDS.APPEND ("Data1", ADVARCHAR, 40, ADFLDISNULLABLE)
      .FIELDS.APPEND ("Data2", ADDATE)

      * open the recordset
      .OPEN(,,ADOPENSTATIC, ADLOCKBATCHOPTIMISTIC)

      * add a couple of records
      .ADDNEW
      .FIELDS("Key").VALUE = 1
      .FIELDS("Data1").VALUE = "String1"
      .FIELDS("Data2").VALUE = DATE()

      .ADDNEW
      .FIELDS("Key").VALUE = 2
      .FIELDS("Data1").VALUE = "Another string"
      .FIELDS("Data2").VALUE = {^1992/01/06}
   ENDWITH

   * read the records back
   oRecordSet.Movefirst
   DO WHILE ! oRecordSet.EOF
      ? oRecordSet.FIELDS("Key").VALUE, ;
         oRecordSet.FIELDS("Data1").VALUE, ;
         oRecordSet.FIELDS("Data2").VALUE
      oRecordSet.MoveNext
   ENDDO

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
