I am currently finding a solution to a problem i have and i was hoping the great minds of the forums could help. The problem goes as fallows: I am wondering if there is a way to access a function called getUserPoints() stored in a COM object within an MS SQL Statement. For instance,
in a programming manner i want to do something like this:
"Update [table] Set Points = " & getUserPoints(param1, param2) & " WHERE ID=9". I know you can do this with PL/SQL, but is there a solution for MS SQL????
HELP PLEEEEASE!!!:D
Well, the COM OBJECT is written in VB 6.0. I believe you can do this with an MS SQL Function, but i want to do my functionality within a com object written in visual basic. thanks for replying so quickly!
Take a look in SQL Server BOL at stored procs beginning sp_OA..., especially sp_OACreate and sp_OAMethod. They allow you to create COM objects and call methods, properties. Watch out for the permissions you need to run these though.
