ADODB.Connection Object

The ADODB.Connection object provides methods to interact with database.

Remarks

ADODB Connection object uses Connection String as Input to make Connection with Database. Incase SELECT query returns ADODB.RecordSet and for other queries it will give number of affected records.

The following code illustrates how to create ADODB Connection object:

Object Name: ADODB.Connection

Dim Obj   ' Create a variable.
Set Obj = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Note:

Currently HFM follows a standard way to get a connection string from preconfigured DB information in xml configuration file. ( For more information, see WScript.Shell Object).

Connection string mainly contain fields like these.

SQL DB Connection String:

Provider=2;DRIVER={<DRIVER_NAME>};SERVER=<DB_SERVER_NAME>;PORT=<DB_SERVER_PORT>;Database=<DATABASE_NAME>;UID={<USERNAME>};PWD={<PASSWORD>}

Oracle DB Connection String:

Provider=1;DRIVER={<DRIVER_NAME>};HOST=<DB_SERVER_NAME>;PORT=<DB_SERVER_PORT>;SN=<DB_SERVICE_NAME>;UID={<DB_SCHEMA_NAME>};PWD={<DB_SCHEMA_PWD>}"
