The following example shows the usage of the EditOption property. Before
running the sample code, make sure that you have the necessary datatypes and tables
in the database. See Schema Description used in examples of OraObject/OraRef.
Dim OraSession as OraSession
Dim OraDatabase as OraDatabase
Dim OraDynaset as OraDynaset
Dim Person as OraRef
'Create the OraSession Object.
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
'Create the OraDatabase Object by opening a connection to Oracle.
Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase("ExampleDb", "scott/tiger", 0&)
'create a dynaset object from customers
set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset("select * from customers", 0&)
'retrieve a aperson column from customers.
'Here Value property of OraField object
'returns Person OraRef
set Person = OraDynaset.Fields("aperson").Value
'set the ORAREF_EXCLUSIVE_LOCK EditOption on the Person object.
Person.EditOption = ORAREF_EXCLUSIVE_LOCK
'pin the Person Ref. This operation also locks the underlying
'referenceable 'object in the server
MsgBox Person.Name
'call Edit method on Person OraRef.
'This method does not make any network round trip
Person.Edit
Person.Name = "Eric"
Person.Age = 35
Person.Update
