CreateSession Method
Applies To
OraClient Object
Description
Creates a new named OraSession object.
Usage
orasession = oraclient.CreateSession(session_name)
Arguments
The arguments for the method are:
Remarks
Use this method to create named sessions that can be referenced later in the same application without having to explicitly save the OraSession object when it is created. Once a session has been created, the application can reference it by way of the ConnectSession method or the OraSessions collection of their respective OraClient object. The OraSessions collection only contains sessions created within the current application. This means that it is not possible to share sessions across applications, only within applications.
Examples
This example demonstrates how to create a session object using the CreateSession method of the client object. Copy and paste this code into the definition section of a form. Then, press F5.
Sub Form_Load ()
'Declare variables
Dim OraClient As OraClient
Dim OraSession As OraSession
Dim NamedOraSession As OraSession
Dim OraDatabase As OraDatabase
Dim OraDynaset As OraDynaset
'Create the OraSession Object.
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
'Get the OraClient object.
Set OraClient = OraSession.Client
'Create a named OraSession Object
'Alternatively, you could use the CreateNamedSession
'method of the OraSession Object.
Set NamedOraSession = OraClient.CreateSession("ExampleSession")
'Create the OraDatabase Object by opening a connection to Oracle.
Set OraDatabase = NamedOraSession.OpenDatabase("ExampleDb", "scott/tiger", 0&)
'Create the OraDynaset Object.
Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset("select * from emp", 0&)
End Sub
