Display the Field Names and Field Values
We have a database named "Northwind" and we want to display the
data from the "Customers" table (remember to save the file with an
.asp extension):
<html>
<body>
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Customers", conn
do until rs.EOF
for each x in rs.Fields
Response.Write(x.name)
Response.Write(" = ")
Response.Write(x.value & "<br />")
next
Response.Write("<br />")
rs.MoveNext
loop
rs.close
conn.close
%>
</body>
</html>
|
Here is the result:
CustomerID = ALFKI
CompanyName = Alfreds Futterkiste
ContactName = Maria Anders
ContactTitle = Sales Representative
Address = Obere Str. 57
City = Berlin
PostalCode = 12209
Country = GermanyCustomerID = BERGS
CompanyName = Berglunds snabbköp
ContactName = Christina Berglund
ContactTitle = Order Administrator
Address = Berguvsvägen 8
City = Luleĺ
PostalCode = S-958 22
Country = Sweden
CustomerID = CENTC
CompanyName = Centro comercial Moctezuma
ContactName = Francisco Chang
ContactTitle = Marketing Manager

Display the Field Names and Field Values in an HTML Table
We can also display the data from the "Customers" table inside an HTML
table with the following lines (remember to save the file with an .asp
extension):
<html>
<body>
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT Companyname, Contactname FROM Customers", conn
%>
<table border="1" width="100%">
<%do until rs.EOF%>
<tr>
<%for each x in rs.Fields%>
<td><%Response.Write(x.value)%></td>
<%next
rs.MoveNext%>
</tr>
<%loop
rs.close
conn.close
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>
