asp_databases thread: Differences between programming ASP for Oracle and MS Access


Message #1 by "Susan Henesy" <susan.henesy@w...> on Mon, 17 Sep 2001 22:21:27
Dear experts,



I may soon be writing ASP pages for Oracle databases (that's Oracle 8, to 

be precise).  



So far I've been a whiz at writing ASP pages for MS Access, especially 

since the VBA programming I'm accustomed to translates to ASP's use of 

VBScript so well.  The creation of recordsets and looping through them is 

all very simple for me in that respect.



If I take on an Oracle to ASP project, what can I expect in terms of 

differences?  Are there syntactical differences in the way that code is 

written for creating recordsets and working with the objects contained 

within (fields, etc.)?  Will I be able to take on the challenge if it's 

something I haven't done before?



It seems someone may be making a huge investment in their belief in my 

ability to do this, and I don't want to let anyone down.  Has anyone 

programmed ASP for both Oracle and Access?  Can you elaborate on the 

differences between the two?  I expect I won't be able to go to the Oracle 

database and just write up my own queries when I need them, as I do for 

Access, but beyond that, is the programming any different?  



I'm facing a very new step in my career and it's quite daunting!  I'll be 

happy to receive any experiences/feedback that anyone is willing to share.



Timorously,

Susan
