ADO example. Can someone show me how to traverse a record set.

I am using Delphi 7. Can someone give an example of traversing a recordset, for example using the northwind database in sql server, showing the customer ID colurm information.

I am looking to read this information into an array

Does anyone know of any good tutorial for ado and delphi???

thanks in advance

Ian

WHat do you mean how do you get the result back?

If its a valid query, you can use it in a TADOQuery.

is it valid?

You can test it in your sql server monitor

Is there any difference in Your code, except of course the letter e which You lost? :)

shaneholmes

oh and the SQL clear <SMILE>

like i said... MOKULE, if he is interested in using it for multiple sql's ...

1. When You assigning to Text, Clear is unnecessary in any case.
2. No need to check Prepared as it is always False after assigning to SQL.Text
3. Prepare is performed also when openning.
4. I'm not very sure but preparing such a simple sql without paramaters has rather no sense.
5. Calling prepare explicitly You should also remember to unprepare as the resources are not freed automatically

Thankyou both for you comments they have been exeedingly useful, and very quick, most impressive.

FYI, the sql code does work, it checks the user has suffient rights to add an extended stored procedure.
