Select Statement help.... 1

[sladewilson]

I can't seem to get this to work right... I am certain that my syntax is not correct but I don't know where to find examples.

This works like a champ (but shows all records):
objRst.Open "Select * FROM Products " & where

I want to filter out all records marked as deleted.
The field in the database is named "deleted" and the value in the field is "yes" (without the quotes of course).

This will not work:
objRst.Open "Select * FROM Products " & where & "AND deleted <> yes"

Any ideas how I can write the statement to show records that are not marked as deleted?

how about this:

objRst.Open "Select * FROM Products where deleted <> 'yes' "

Well yeah... but "where" is actually a variable.

It is set above this... sorry... I should have show that part of the code as well.

This is what the code really looks like as is:

<%
formFields = Array("code", "name", "price", "sale-price", "ship-weight", "brand", "category1")
dbFields = Array("code", "name", "price", "sale-price", "ship-weight", "brand", "category1")

where = ""
delimiter = " WHERE "

For fnum = 0 To UBound( formFields )
fval = Request.Form( formFields(fnum) )
If ("X" & fval) <> "X" Then
where = where & delimiter & dbFields(fnum) & " LIKE '%" & fval & "%'"

End If

Next

objRst.Open "Select * FROM Products " & where
%>

opps... left out this part...

delimiter = " AND "

 

[DotNetGnat]

ok then try this:

dim blah

blah = "Select * FROM Products " &where& " AND deleted <> 'yes'"

'response.write blah

objRst.Open "blah"

i would suggest you to do response.write to see if your query is constructed correctly...
