ADO Display

The most common way to display data from a recordset, is to display the data in an html table. 

Examples

Display records
This example demonstrates how to first create a database connection, then create a recordset, and then display the data on an HTML page.

Display records in an HTML table
This example demonstrates how to display the data from the database table in an HTML table.

Add headers to the table
This example demonstrates how to add headers to the HTML table to make it more readable.

Display Records from a database

After a recordset is opened, we can display the data from the recordset on an HTML page.

Suppose we have a database named "Northwind", we can display the data from the "Customers" table with the following lines:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"

set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * from Customers", conn

do until rs.EOF
   for each x in rs.Fields
      Response.Write(x.name)
      Response.Write(" = ")
      Response.Write(x.value & "<br />")
   next
   rs.MoveNext
loop

rs.close
conn.close
%>

Display Records in a Table

We can also display the data from the "Customers" table inside an HTML table with the following lines:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"

set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * from Customers", conn
%>

<table border="1" width="100%">
<%do until rs.EOF%>
   <tr>
   <%for each x in rs.Fields%>
      <td><%Response.Write(x.value)%></td>
   <%next
   rs.MoveNext%>
   </tr>
<%loop
rs.close
conn.close
%>
</table>
