CSV_DB_Execute

Executes a command on a specified database. A connection string is used to specify how to connect to the database. If a standby connection string is specified then the standby path is used if the primary path is offline. Make the command an SQL type command, for example:

"SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE TimeValue(Time) > #10:00:00#" etc.

		

Example connection strings:

SQL Server:

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=MySQLServerName;Initial 
Catalog=MyDatabase;User Id=MyUserID;Password=MyPassword;"

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data 
Source=\somepath\mydb.mdb;User Id=MyUserID;Password=MyPassword;"

Excel:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data 
Source=C:\somepath\MyExcel.xls; Extended Properties=Excel 
8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1" 

where:

HDR=Yes; indicates that the first row contains columnnames, not data

IMEX=1; tells the driver to always read "intermixed" data columns as text

Text:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data 
Source=c:\somepath\MyTxtFilesFolder\;Extended 
Properties=text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited" 

where:

"HDR=Yes;" indicates that the first row contains column names, not data

Source=c:\somepath\MyDbfFolder;Extended Properties=dBASE IV;User
