Hi,

I have several ASp pages which need to call the SQL server.
Do I need to put on every ASP page the next code?

In the begin of the page:
===
Set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
conn.open "DSN=FARMA"
set rs = server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
===


At the end after the SQL is executed
===
rs.Close
Conn.Close
Set rs=Nothing
Set Conn=Nothing
===

Or is it better to put it into an .INC file and just include it
in the beginning?

I am asking this because I have the code everytime I do an SQL sequence to get data from th DB, but I guess it is slowing down the speed of the pages when you want to see them, correct?

Please push me in the right direction,

David

yes, on every page you need a connection. and yes if you open a connection you should close it when you have finished with it.

I place code in an include file that gets used in many places BUT more importantly code that you may want to change (has constants or variables etc) of course changing an incluse file changes it in all area were it is used - therefore yeah why not.

If you need a connection you need the connection code, so of course you are

;;but I guess it is slowing down the speed of the pages when you want to see them, correct?
No. weather the code is in an include file or in line its not going to effect your pages performance. As I said if you need a connection, you need the connection code.
