asp_web_howto thread: Recordset update without form???


Message #1 by simon@h... on Tue, 19 Nov 2002 14:44:02
Is it possible to update a recordset without using a form on a page.? I 
have 2 recordsets that have 2 of the same fields in each of them which 
is "Project_ID" and "Status". I set 4 variables equal to the two fields in 
each recordset.

I then check to see if the "Project_Id" variables match if they do I then 
check the 2 "Status" variables against each other, if they dont match I 
want to update the recordset with the correct value form the other 
recordset. How do I do this without using a form and is it possible.

Yes, you can. There is no need for a user interface (ie a form) to update 
records in a recordset.

Persoanlly, I would issue an UPDATE statement against an open a 
connection, like this:

objConnection.Execute("UPDATE MyTable SET MyField = '" & myVar & "' WHERE 
ID = " & iID)

Depending on how you have set up your things, this should be the fastest 
way to do it.

You could also update each value in the second recordset and then use its 
Update method to write the changes to the database.
