Which is better practice?
Code:
Select * From groups Where groupName LIKE '%bli%' AND cusType LIKE 'CUST%'
or
Code:
Select * From groups Where InStr(groupName,'li')>0 AND InStr(cusType,'CUST')=1
Right now I'm using and Access database but plan to upsize to a MSSQL if that makes any difference. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either technique?
Why does this code Code:
Dim mytext
mytext = "Tristique, sed tamen typicus amet, bene quia feugait eu. "
Response.Write Instr(mytext, "tamen")
Gives the response "16"? Surely this word only appears once? Is it counting letters? How can I make it identify just words?
How do I use InStr to find the string d="1"
I have tryed:
InStr(text,"d="1"") and it does not work
I have tryed a few other variations and I cant get it to work.
I dont want those Disp selected from access db...I am getting an error..How will I do that ?
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: '[string: "49, 50"]'
/drv_sch/Generate_Sch.asp, line 55
----------------------------------------
Driver_id is a number...Disp variable has these data "49, 50, 51"
SELECT * FROM schedule WHERE not instr('Disp',driver_id)
I am searching a string that look like this (21,5,15,25) using Instr().
So, if I am searching for '5', I get everything that contains a five.
If InStr("21,5,15,25", req,QuerStr("id") Then
response.write "yes"
End If
I want only the one value '5' to get found but anything that contains a 5 is found. I have tried using Cint and Int to no avail.
I have a field name "tracks" of string data type that has multiple names in it (for example: calder delaware$ aqueduct ), and I want to check to see if this certain field has "delaware$" in it. InStr or the Mid functions return the numerical order of where that string starts inside the string, but it doesnt tell me if "delaware$" exists in "tracks".

View Replies View RelatedI have been thinking about this wee problem for a while now, and usually I figure out what I need to do, but in this case I'm drawing a blank And the most annoying thing is that I don't think it should be that hard! I use this code to search a database: Code:
View Replies View RelatedMy setup is going to be like this:
I have one page that has a few categories on it. When the person clicks on one of the categories it sends the querystring to the next page. That page takes the query string, searches the database and only replies with found results. Thats what I'm trying to setup, I think I'm very close.
I know the request.querystring is being sent properly and receieved properly, because I also have it's name displayed on the next page and that works fine. I know my connection to the database is okay, becasue if I just set it to display the entire database that will display fine.
It's when I try to use the Request.QueryString that was sent to search the database - it returns like it can never find anything. The page displays, no asp or coding errors - just no information.
The database Column I'm trying to have it search is called "Classification". I think that's all the info.. if I'm missing something you need to know let me know. Code:
Does any one know of any good asp database search scripts. What I'm looking for it to search the database on different criteria or phrases. Eg Kane 400 Boiler.
The user could put in kane 400 and it would pick it up, basically something that you don't have to put in the search how it appears in the database, I have worked on this and works fine if you put the exact phrase in, or one work but if i put in kane 400 it does not work. Also if I put % it lists the whole database, this database will hold 10000 > products so want it not to be to heavy etc.
I'm trying to use information that a user enters into an HTML form to search a database. For example, if a user clicks on a check box stating their interests are 'holidays' then this information needs to be used to search the database for entries that match, ie the entry has a category that states it is about holidays.
The entries in the database are linked to pictures that will then be loaded onto a website.
I'm having a problem with a simple search. I have a telephone directory where people can search by first or last name. This works great but when someone tries to search for a name with an ' in it you get an error.
Here's my code for the database connection:Code:
sql = "SELECT Staff.[first_name], Staff.preferred_name, Staff.no_location,
Staff.[last_name], Staff.[location], Staff.business_title, Staff.department,
Staff.phone, Staff.fax, Staff.[email]
FROM Staff WHERE (((Staff.[last_name])like'%"
& Request.QueryString("[search-lastname]") & "%')) "
I'm certain it's just a syntax error so hopefully someone can spot it quick. Using a - in the name search doesn't bring the error.

I've been given a large database of "model numbers". based on these model number I have to do something different. example model numbers:
B2020-SG1
B2020-SG4440
B2020-LG3
B2020-LG33E
B2020-SG1-SG1
B2020-SG1TD9-SG1
B2020-SG1TD15-SG4440
Basically, the first number (B2020, which could be a number of different numbers) is the model. the second and/or third number is what I have to act on. The problem is, how do I pull that third number? Especially if its the same as the first number. right now I'm using Instr(variable1, "SG1") to pull each different set of numebrs. but that only finds the first occurence. what about the 2nd? how can I find that?

I'm having some trouble with an error that is thrown when I use InStr() and Mid() with a database search query. In point form:
I am retrieving an array strings from my database where the query is case insensitive. This is good.
Then I locate the keyword in the string using InStr() which is case sensitive. This is not desireable as it doesn't recognize all instances of the keyword.
I use the Mid() function to give me a portion of the string starting at the location provided by InStr() which is sometimes the number zero which in turn throws the error.
Does anyone know where I can find a free simple script to create a search engine using Access Database backend and will allow the user to type in a word (not a using drop down list) and it will search the table.
