Using Bind Variables [message #205722] Mon, 27 November 2006 04:33 Go to next message

Hi All,
In almost all books including Tom Kyte, everyone has emphasized on the usage of Bind Variables.

For example:
It is not advised to use
   select * from emp where empno=123;

However it is advised to use
   select * from emp where empno = :empno;


However in a practical scenario consider a web application, I would use a connection object say db, a recordset say rs and variables say empNo and strQry.

Example:

empNo = 123;

strQry = "SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO ="&empNo
rs.open strQry, db


Using this recordset (rs), I'll perform further operations.

I would like to know how the query will be treated? A query with a bind variable, or a query without a bind variable.

Thanks in advance
Anand

In that case your query is NOT using bind variables and performs HARD parse for each execution.

You have to use COMMAND object to enable bind variables usage.

HTH.

Try following:


With cmd
.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_ID = ?"
.CommandType = adCmdText
.ActiveConnection = cnn
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter(, adDouble, adParamInput )
End With
cmd(0) = 123
SET rs = cmd.execute

HTH
