<P>Dataset retrieves entire data results into a table in the data set. Take the time to understand how they work and they're
not much trouble. but you maybe interested in the IDataReader also, it works more like a "input-only stream" from de database, which
allow you not to retrieve a huge amount of data if it's your case (if you don't have to update the DB with your dataset or
datatable, it may be a good choice.</P>
<P>hope it helps for now... : )~</P>

AM<BR>> To: ASP+<BR>> Subject: [aspx] Referencing Individual Data
Columns<BR>><BR>><BR>> Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am
currently<BR>> working with a SQL Server table and want to be able to execute a query<BR>> that returns
data from one column in the table. I am using a DataSet to<BR>> access the table. What I want to do
is to set a variable equal to the<BR>> value in that table, for example in classic
ASP<BR>><BR>> strFirstName=rstemp("FirstName")<BR>><BR>> I can't seem to figure
out how to do this since most examples imply push<BR>> the dataset into a datagrid for display. Not entirely
sure that the<BR>> dataset is even the best method. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>>
