The Solution Rating System

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. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ADODB.Recordset : Copy filtered row + updates row + Save as XML => The xml file contains the update statement...

Asked by msl22 in VB Database Programming

Tags: ,

Hi,

I'm working with VB6 (sp3).
And I found a weird problem when trying to save a recordset as XML file.

1. Create a recordset, load data in it and filter on a subset of rows.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    dim rs as ADODB.Recordset
    dim rsCopy as ADODB.Recordset
    ....

2. Copy the filtered rows (not clone)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  dim strm as new ADODB.stream
   
  Set strm = New ADODB.stream
  rs.Save strm
  rsCopy.Open strm
 
3. Updates a row
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------          
    rsCopy.MoveFirst
    For i = 0 To rsCopy.Fields.Count - 1
        'replace null value by an empty string
        rsCopy.Fields.item(i).Value = "" & rsCopy.Fields.item(i).Value
    Next i

4. Save as XML file
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------          
    rsCopy.Save "C:\Test.xml", adPersistXML

5. Open the XML file
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------          
    you see the update....  and this format is not supported by crystal report...  
...
<rs:update>
    <rs:original>
       <z:row OID='17900' c1='' c2='Mar 29 2004  3:17PM' c3='' c4='' c5='' c6='' c7='' c8='' c9='' c10='' c11=''
                         c12='' c13='' c14='29-17-04' c15='' c16='' Usuario='' c18=''/>
    </rs:original>
    <z:row OID='17900' c1='' c2='Mar 29 2004  3:17PM' c3='' c4='' c5='' c6='' c7='' c8='' c9='' c10='' c11='' c12=''
                   c13='' c14='29-17-04' c15='' c16='' Usuario='' c18=''/>
</rs:update>
<z:row OID='17910' c2='Mar 29 2004  3:17PM' c14='29-17-04' Usuario='' c18=''/>
...

6. Why I replace null value by an empty string ?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------    
 This is because I use the XML file as source for my Crystal reports. And the columns containing null values are not
 exported in the XML file...

7. Any solutions ???
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------    
- How to avoid to keep trace of the update ?
or
- How to export the column with only null value in the XML file ?
