  • ADO PArt Deux: Catalog functions with Criteria Problems

    Environment: Win/XP Pro SP 3 all updates
    ADO 2.8
    PB/CC 5.0

    Problem: Can't get criteria to work with the OpenSchema Method of ADO.

    In the new include file ADOTABLES.INC (below), there is this section of code
    Code:
         ' ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         '  SET THE 'WE WANT TABLE INFO' PARAMETERS FOR THE OPENSCHEMA METHOD
         ' ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    
         LET vQueryType =  %adSchemaTables AS LONG ' param 1
    
         ' OK, first run returned 6221 tables views ans synonyms
         ' it also returned everything for all shcemas ("user ids")
         ' I want to limit returns to TABLES, views and maybe synonyms
         ' for sure I want to limit the schema to that of the user ID
         ' param two is criteria, listed as an array
          REDIM sCriteria  (3)      ' four constraint columns for adSchema tables: 
                                    'catalog., schema, tablename, table_type
    
          sCriteria  (0)  = ""                ' catalog (= DB)
          sCriteria  (1)  = "prod"   '         PROD" & $NUL    ' schema  'UCODE$ did not help
          sCriteria  (2)  = ""                ' tablename
          sCriteria  (3)  = ""               ' tabletype
    
          LET   vCriteria =  sCriteria()  ' create variant array compliler is 
                                           'supposed to handle all unicode conversions required
        ' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        '  EXECUTE THE OPENSCHEMA METHOD, Returning the recordset with the desired info
        ' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        ' when I try to add vCriterial parameter, I get a x0009 with no IDISPINFO
        ' maybe I this code is out of whack, no it's OK. I must be doings soimething wrong here
        ' but it sure looks like I am doing this correctly, it's the same as the example
        ' I get EVERYTHING when I don't pass vCriteria, but I'd sure like to have ADO filter the data for me.
    
    [b]WITH_CRITERIA:[/b]
         OBJECT CALL  oConn.OpenSchema (VQueryType, vCriteria)  TO vW
    
    [b]WITHOUT_CRITERIA:[/b] 
          'OBJECT CALL  oConn.OpenSchema (VQueryType)  TO vW   <<< WORKS TERRIFIC (but gets EVERYTHING)
         iRet = OBJRESULT   ' most recent

    When I call the OpenSchema at WITHOUT_CRITERA I get success.. the report file starts out like this:

    Unfortunately, this returns 6221 rows... all schemas, all tables, views, synonyms, etc.

    I want to restrict the function to returning ONLY schema = "prod" . I want probably only tables and views, but I can run this twice, once for tables, once for views for the target schema.

    But with I try WITH_CRITERIA, I get an exception error (DISP_E_EXECPTION) and I don't even get the IDISPPARAMS info!


    For the openSchema method, the doc is here...


    ... and the "VB Example" provided is:
    Code:
    Set rstSchema = Cnxn2.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables, Array(Empty, Empty, Empty, "VIEW"))

    So I tried this:
    Code:
          REDIM sCriteria  (3)     ' four constraint columns for adSchema tables: catalog., schema, tablename, table_type
          sCriteria  (0)  = ""                ' catalog (= DB)
          sCriteria  (1)  = ""   '     PROD" & $NUL    ' schema  'UCODE$ did not help
          sCriteria  (2)  = ""                ' tablename
          sCriteria  (3)  = "VIEW"               ' tabletype
    
          LET   vCriteria =  sCriteria()  ' create variant array compliler is supposed to handle all unicode conversions required
        ' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        '  EXECUTE THE OPENSCHEMA METHOD, Returning the recordset with the desired info
        ' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        ' when I try to add vCriterial parameter, I get a x0009 with no IDISPINFO
        ' maybe I this code is out of whack, no it's OK. I must be doings soimething wrong here
        ' but it sure looks like I am doing this correctly, it's the same as the example
        ' I get EVERYTHING when I don't pass vCriteria, but I'd sure like to have ADO filter the data for me.
    
    WITH_CRITERIA:
         OBJECT CALL  oConn.OpenSchema (VQueryType, vCriteria)  TO vW
    .. but that failed the same as trying to set only criteria 2, the schema: Exception with no IDISPPARAMS info.

    Does anyone have any pointers as to how I am supoosed to set up and call this method with criteria?

    All relevant code below. (Meaning, if you don't need criteria and can live with "everything" being returned, it's usable today)

    Thanks,
    MCM

    See: http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smffo...p?topic=2591.0

    Tip: Instead of an array of strings (sCriteria), you must use an array of variants, because an empty (VT_EMPTY) variant is not the same that a variant holding an empty string.

      Perfect, Jose. Thank you very much.

      Weird thing: it wants UPPERCASE "PROD" (for schema) or "VIEW" (for table type).

      Runs without error but finds nothing if these words are not upper-cased.

      BUT..... if I run OpenSchema with %adSchemaSchemata first, I get a list of all the TABLES_SCHEMAs in the DB .... so I could compare case after doing that and then do the tables query using the correctly-cased TABLE_SCHEMA (Hello "ARRAY SCAN COLLATE UCASE"...)

      FWIW, W3Schools has got some terrific info and examples on-line

      For this method, here's the link: http://www.w3schools.com/ado/met_conn_openschema.asp
