Using VBscript to connect to Oracle database

Tags: vbscript, oracle, connect, database, using
Hi, I'm a newbie to vbscript and oracle. What I'm trying to achieve is to use vbscript to connect to Oracle database to pull some data out. I've installed the oracle client in my laptop. Below is the code I copied from somewhere but somehow I'm unsure of the Provider. Data Source should be my database name right? Please help.

strSQL = "SELECT emplid from ps_employment_c where termination_dt = '12-Mar-07';"
strConnect = "Server=192.168.131.155;Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=CSNPRD;User Id=outlook_user;Password=xxxx;"
Set adoConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoConnection.Open strConnect

      strResults = adoConnection.execute(strSQL)

       msgbox strResults
   
adoConnection.Close

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution.
