ADODB Number of Records

[DrParko]

I created a query GUI, largely based on code posted by DaRam. I have it working flawlessly but I wanted it to display the number of records returned. I have tried several different ideas with no luck. I also looked at some ADO sites with no luck. This is two snippets of the code, the connection and query sections.

Global $adoCn = ObjCreate( "ADODB.Connection" )
$adoCn.Properties("Prompt") = 2; 1=PromptAlways, 2=PromptComplete
Global $adoRs = ObjCreate( "ADODB.RecordSet" )
.
.
.
Case $ButtonQuery
            $QueryTxt = GUICtrlRead($EditSQL)
            If $adoRs.State = $adStateOpen Then $adoRs.Close
            GUICtrlSetData($EditResults, "Executing " & $QueryTxt)
            $adoRs = $adoCn.Execute($QueryTxt)
            If $adoRs.State = $adStateOpen Then
               GUICtrlSetData($RowResults, $adoRs.RecordCount)
               $ResultsTxt = ""
               $J = $adoRs.Fields.Count - 1
               For $I = 0 To $J
                     $ResultsTxt = $ResultsTxt & $adoRs.Fields($I).Name & @TAB
               Next;$I
               $ResultsTxt = $ResultsTxt & @CRLF
               $ResultsTxt = $ResultsTxt & $adoRs.GetString(2, -1, @TAB, @CRLF, "Null")
               GUICtrlSetData($EditResults, $ResultsTxt)
               $adoRs.Close
           EndIf

I tried a while loop to count records but couldn't get that to work. With this code, I get a -1 displayed in the $RowResults label. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance..

Depends on the exact query string you are using. For example, some cursor types (i.e. "ForwardOnly") don't support .RecordCount. Post an otherwise working example for $QueryTxt that gives you good data but no .RecordCount.

Look at _accessCountRecords()

PsaltyDS,

The query is variable as it is taken from an input box, but here is one that returns a list of records:

SELECT u.userid, a.viewed_status, u.last_login

from users u, autoemail a

where u.userid = a.userid and u.last_login is not null and a.viewed_status is null

I understand that some queries do not return records and therefore may not .RecordCount. Is there a way to determine that by information within the Record Set?

[PsaltyDS]

Getting -1 for .RecordCount is exactly how it tells you that property is not supported for this recordset. You can just walk through the records in a While/WEnd loop and count them as you go. Or add an SQL query specifically for the COUNT.

Thanks PsaltyDS. I was able to add a while loop and count. It looks like this now:

Case $ButtonQuery
            $QueryTxt = GUICtrlRead($EditSQL)
            If $adoRs.State = $adStateOpen Then $adoRs.Close
            GUICtrlSetData($EditResults, "Executing " & $QueryTxt)
            $adoRs = $adoCn.Execute($QueryTxt)
            If $adoRs.State = $adStateOpen Then
               $ResultsTxt = ""
               $J = $adoRs.Fields.Count - 1
                For $I = 0 To $J
                     $ResultsTxt &= $adoRs.Fields($I).Name & @TAB
                Next;$I
               $ResultsTxt &= @CRLF
               $RowCount = 0
               While Not $adoRs.EOF
                    For $I = 0 To $J
                        $ResultsTxt &= $adoRs.Fields($I).Value & @TAB
                    Next;$I
                    $ResultsTxt &= @CRLF
                    $RowCount = $RowCount + 1
                    $adoRs.MoveNext
                WEnd
               GUICtrlSetData($RowResults, $RowCount)
               GUICtrlSetData($EditResults, $ResultsTxt)
               $adoRs.Close
           EndIf

Thanks again for your help, not only on this issue, but all of the issues you have responded to. I run into your posts on a regular basis!!
