Creating Database & Tables Using ASP
I want to create a database and its tables and populate it through a web page, using ASP. The database is MySQL on win32 (4.10.13-nt) and the driver is MyOLEDB 3.0.
One thing, to set up the ole-db connection, it seems I have to specify a data source, which is an already existing database.
The Connection works and I actually can create the database, but the code for the table creation generates a 500 server error. The SQL itself is taken straight out of MySQLcc query window, so I know it's all good, syntactically.
(Also, regarding the connection, I can connect to and read from an existing database. It's the table creation that seems to be the trouble.)
I did a response.write to the page to make sure that the code coming out is what went in and that is the case. So, I guess one question is, what could be different about creating tables in a db that would fail, when "create database test_links;" and "use test_links;" both complete successfully (and the newly-created database shows up, just no tables in it).
To test the sql, i made three strings of SQL and executed each of them sequentially. The first two work, the third (table generation) fails.
A second question is, is there a way to capture any error message that might be generated at the MySQL end, rather than having the page bomb out; and then display the error. I tried using a RecordSet object, that didn't work, the page still crashes.

I want to create another Database using ASP, this I can do. However, what is the easiest way to copy tables from one DB to this new DB?
I dont really want to have to write the SQL to create each table and then to use a 'select into' code for table, especially as I have around 15 tables to do!

I would like to create a recordset which joins 3 tables using the column 'productid' as the key column throughout. I want all the columns from all three tables with a where clause that says category = beau and subcategory = mirror. I have tried numerous things but I get one error message after another. Code:

I am generating a series of tables in CSS. The tables should repeat
themselves for a number of times governed by a counter that is
calculated at runtime by the ASP code. The problem is that I have used
top margins to position the tables in the ASP page.
So the tables when repeated super-impose on the tables that are
already placed at that margin position. Can someone suggest me a
better way out to resolve this?

I have an access database called employment.mdb The fields that I have in this database are:
Company, Location, Dates, Position, Signing, and Duties.
The problem I am having, I can go in and create a Drop Down pulling information from the Company field, but I can not get the information from the rest of the fields to
populate. I want the Database column values to change when I select a different company.
I will be honest, my only experience with it has been thru Frontpage, I can go in and create a drop down, but get errors if I try to add other database connections into that query. I have enough experience at working with html, but not the asp side of it. I would really appreciate some help with this.

I've made a website for a little athletics club in HTML. I want to transform the records page into an ASP page that has an admin page so i can go to the admin page and easily add in the records without having to create all the tables and doing it all the manual way.
I know how to create the admin page and the database, but in my case, i want to be able to create a new table in the database for each week of records (as seen in the link below), and each of these tables will have the same fields (age, gender, event, athlete name etc.) I know how to make it so that asp can add, edit and delete a field in a table, but how would i get it to add a new table for each week of records?

I wanted to ask your opinion about *joining two tables* from *two different database* together. Is *that* possible My project requires me to join identical tables from different database; *eg. MyTable* from *Friends.mdb* and *Foes.mdb* respectively. Is that achievable? I do hope anyone here can enlighten me on this one because I am really a newbie in using Access DB and also I'm using *ASP* in this project.

How can ASP be used to search through a database that has multiple tables in it? I want to be able to enter a string into a field in an ASP page and the resultant tables to be listed in a table or list on an asp page. It might be the same page or another. I know it can be done - but I can't link the concepts or code together.

I was just wondering if there is anyway to link tables from another Access database using ASP. Just like the function in Access where we can go File->Get External Data->Link Tables.
I have implemented some e-modules and they all have individual database as a backend. But, my boss would like to allow all these e-modules to share data. Therefore I am thinking of linking all the tables in those databases through a 'gateway' database (gateway.mdb). This 'gateway' database would have link tables from all other databases.

I need to create a chart/graph with the following data from my database:
Each record is opened and then closed at a later stage. I then calculate the time it took from when the record was entered to when it was closed.
Now i need a pie chart to display how many records was closed in certain times. for example 10 records was closed within the first 10 minutes, 2 in 20 minutes and so on.
this also is to happen for dates that the user entered. i.e a Weekly report and a monthly report.
Any advice and help will be appreciated. I found alot of examples of hardcoded graphs but none extracting data from database.
So first i need to count the records that fits each section of minutes and then use that data to draw my graph?

I am using a repeated field to bring in to my page repeated records, and I have been able to retrieve values that are entered into text boxes that are associated with these repeated fields. I would like to post these values into a database, but I'm not sure how to set up my table as I know that each employee's values as well as number of fields will be different.
I thought about setting up two tables. One that houses the dynamic question and the other to house the answers, but I'm not sure if that will work. I could really use help as to the syntax to write a loop statement that will insert my returned variables and create the field names dynamically into my database table. I believe this is what i need to do.

I want to create a breadcrumb trail on a site, but instead of being
generated by cookies or a directory structure, it needs to be database
driven. My website details hundreds of products, each belonging to a
category. Each category can belong to a parent category, and so on.
My site will feature master/detail pages, and both need to feature a
trail, e.g.
Books > Hobbies > Sport > Football
The master page will list all items within the current category, and the
trail will allow the user to click to any parent category for a wider
listing.
The detail page will show the item detail, along with a full trail to
the category/parent categories it belongs to.
The category structure will grow over time, and different branches will
have different number of levels so it needs to be maintainable.

I am using an Access database, and for a field called size the client entered some values such as 20" x 20" Unfortunately when I try to print that field to the page, the cursor stops typing at 20 because I'm assuming it considers the first " inside the 20" x 20" to be the end of the string.
I am simply trying to print the whole string <%=(rsProdsUpdate("size1"))%>
Is there a workaround this without having to change all the values in the database?

I am trying to list data from the DB from three different tables. The first table is creditors, the second is statements and the third is payments. I don't know much about inner joins and I'm not even sure that's what I need to do. The first section on the page is detailed information about the creditor.
Below that is a section for a summary of all statements from that creditor. Below the statements section is a section for listing payments from that creditor. The 'creditors' table has a field of "credID" as well as the tables "statements" and "payments".
The "statements" table has a "StatementID" field and the "payments" table has a field of payID. What is the best way to list the statements and payments from a particular creditor?

Ithe goalposts have been moved (yet again!) and the database that was one, may have to become many, being used on subdomains of the same server sharing some information but not all from a 'global' database.The solution I initially found was to used linked tables and developing it on pws - this was perfect. I linked local databases to the external table data in the 'global' database hey presto the application ran smoothly. There was only 1 connection to each local database and I could retrieve all the information I needed from the global one. However on uploading I have no idea how to set this via asp or sql as online the path of the linked tables is what was on my local machine and I have found no way of being able to edit this or indeed know if this is possible.
