9.3.9 Execute Method

Executes the specified query, SQL statement, stored procedure, or provider-specific text.
 

Syntax

For a non-row-returning command string:
 

connection.Execute CommandText, RecordsAffected, Options

For a row-returning command string:
 

Set recordset = connection.Execute (

CommandText, RecordsAffected, Options)

Parameters

CommandText
A String containing the SQL statement, table name, stored procedure, or provider-specific text to execute.
RecordsAffected
An optional Long variable to which the provider returns the number of records that the operation affected.
Options
An optional Long value that indicates how the provider should evaluate the CommandText argument:

Constant Description
adCmdText
 
The provider should evaluate CommandText as a textual definition of a command.
 
adCmdTable
 
The provider should evaluate CommandText as a table name.
 
adCmdStoredProc
 
The provider should evaluate CommandText as a stored procedure.
 
adCmdUnknown
 
The type of command in the CommandText argument is not known.
 
See the CommandType property for a more detailed explanation of the four constants in this list.
 

Return Values

Returns a Recordset object reference.
 

Remarks

Using the Execute method on a Connection object executes whatever query you pass to the method in the CommandText argument on the specified connection. If the CommandText argument specifies a row-returning query, any results the execution generates are stored in a new Recordset object. If the command is not a row-returning query, the provider returns a closed Recordset object.
 
The returned Recordset object is always a read-only, forward-only cursor. If you need a Recordset object with more functionality, first create a Recordset object with the desired property settings, then use the Recordset object's Open method to execute the query and return the desired cursor type.
 
The contents of the CommandText argument are specific to the provider and can be standard SQL syntax or any special command format that the provider supports.
 

Examples

See the Command Execute method.
