This is an example code showing how to conduct searches on a database to display hyperlinked summaries that can be clicked on to display detail data.

This article by James Shaw demonstrates how to dynamically add properties to an object (expando properties) - by implementing a function to create named recordsets.

A discussion of how to use null values effectively in your database tables. Includes a discussion of the logic behind nulls and some practical programming techniques.

You all must have seen and done stuff with the RecordSet object, infact everything is done with the RecordSet object. Now, this acticle explains how to use GetRows to page through the records that you recieve from the SELECT. It's much faster than MoveNext, because it closes the database connection immediately whereas MoveNext loops through the records with the overhead of the database connection. Plus GetRows let's you count the records correctly!

Paging is basically querying a database and presenting a page full of the query's results. In ASP and SQL Server programming, there are three approaches to paging. This article compares the approaches and explains which one is the most efficient when dealing with very large sets of data.

Multiple level select boxes tackled with hierarchical data! This sample illustrates the concept using a hierarchy consisting of geographical region, country, and state data. The code expects a system DSN by name "Hierarchy" and accesses the database using the user id "sa" with a blank password. The database is created in SQL Server 7.0.

The author writes "Recently I was asked to develop a web based report that would collect data from a database, format it in an HTML page and then print a certain number of rows on each page with a column header on each page. This solution solves the problem." Source code available for download.

Active Server Pages allow us an easy means of querying and updating a database from a webpage. This article describes the basics of using this technique in a nutshell. The examples given here utilize a Microsoft Access database, but the principles elucidated apply equally well to ASP integration with other databaes.

This article describes several ways to use a SQL calculated field and the ORDER BY clause to arrange a recordset in random order. It provides a simple tool for verifying that the results are uniformly random. Also shows a technique for bubbling records with certain attributes to the top of an otherwise randomized list.

Explains everything in detail you'll ever need to know about creating Stored Procedures in Access Database and then calling from within ASP. Select, Update, Insert and Delete Stored Procedures are described. Sample code and database available for download.
