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:

Arguments	Description
session_name	A String specifying the name of the session.

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
