The docs specifically The application developer's guide. I don't know how to do it in ado, look under parameterized queries or bind variables or host variables. (MS SQL server wants them also so it isn't unusual.)

eg select ... from mytable where col1=:col1_bind_variable instead of select ... from mytable where col1='some value'; Jim Received on Mon Oct 02 2006 - 08:09:23 CDT
