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!

What i must change in this VBScript in order to connect to a mysql db instead of a file?

Asked by PredatorGR in VB Script, MySQL Server

Tags:

Hi, i have this code and i must use it to fetch data from mysql and not a local file. What i must change in order to achieve this?

I've converted the already existed file catalog.mdb to mysql and imported it via phpmyadmin. My mysql is local (localhost), username "root" and password "root", db name "test".

' cc.vbs - This VBScript does an SQL query on a sample database, card catalog.mdb.
'
' This VBScript expects four variables exported from Scala:
'   
'   sSearchtype            tells the windows script what type of query this is.
'   sCriteria              tells the windows script what the search criteria is.
'   sQueryResult           Scala's array for the results of the query.
'   iTotal                 Gives Scala current result count from VB's perspective
'

Dim NameDataSet
Dim sSQL

' an ODBC DSN).  Notice that it presumes the database file, card catalog.mdb, can be found in the
' same directory as this VBScript.  Alternately, if the database had been installed as an
' ODBC User DSN called 'biblio' (using the control panel item "ODBC Data Sources"), the open 
' call might look like this:
'
' myConnection.Open "DSN=biblio"
