IDC Script Sample with Multiple SQL Statements

ID: Q252303

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 3.0, 4.0

SUMMARY

Internet Database Connector (IDC) Scripting can support multiple complex SQL statements in one script. This provides a convenient way for using IDC to develop dynamic Web pages. The corresponding .htx file must be modified to allow multiple SQL query results to be shown from the browser. The sample IDC scripts shipped with Internet Information Server 3.0 and 4.0 only give samples of one SQL statement per IDC file.

MORE INFORMATION

The syntax for a IDC Script (sample) with multiple SQL statements:


Datasource:mydatasrc_name
Template: result.htx
SQLStatement:

SELECT  field1, field2 from Table1
+Where field1=%Variable_Name%

AND

SELECT fld1, fld2, fld3 from Table2
+Where fld1="field_data"

Password:
Username:

As shown in this sample, you can use "AND" to connect multiple SQL statements.

The user input variable is indicated by "%Variable_Name%".

In the corresponding .htx pages, you must use one "<%Begindetail%>...<%Enddetail%>" session for each SQL SELECT statement.
