Recordsets Save method to save the data to an MSXML DOMDocument object. Furthermore, well look at how. XSL to specify the XML structure for the Recordsets data. Streaming XML to an MSXML DOMDocument Object. The ADO Recordset object has a Save method that can save the contents of a Recordset to a file in an XML. Unfortunately, the XML generated by saving an ADO Recordset is both ugly and difficult to use. The following. shows an abbreviated snippet of the XML generated by the ADO Recordsets Save method.

In addition to the ugly XML generated by the Save method, Ive found that developers typically use. Save to store the XML to the filesystem. Using the filesystem has its own set of problems associated. The approach I will suggest below works. In addition, it goes further into features of the. MSXML parser that allows the generation of Recordset based XML in fewer lines of code. One of the lesser known features of the Recordset is that the Save method is overloaded. This means. that in addition to providing a file path specifying a file to save the XML to, one could pass in any object that. IStream interface. We will not get into the details of interface implementation, just. XML DOMDocument object supports this interface. This allows us to do the following. Set obj. XML Server. Create. ObjectMSXML2. DOMDocument. dim obj. RS set obj. RS mConnection. Executems. SQL. TRANSFER DATA FROM RS TO XML. With obj. RS. Call. Saveobj. XML, 1 1 indicates to save Recordset as XML. Call. Close. Set obj. RS nothing. At this point we have transferred our data from the Recordset to the XML Document. Transforming the XML Using a Stylesheet. Libro De Biofisica Medica Pdf. While we have seen how to squirt a Recordsets data into an MSXML DOMDocument object with just a few lines of code. XML structure in the DOMDocument object is that default, ugly ADO Recordset format we examined earlier. What wed like to do is use. XSL stylesheet to transform the XML into a more human readable format. This can be accomplished using the. XML DOMDocuments transform. Node. To. Object method. This method accepts an XSL stylesheet as an XML. DOMDocument and a target XML DOMDocument. The target XML DOMDocument is loaded with the output of your transformation. I have created an XSL stylesheet written specifically to translate the ADO specific Schema to a. XML attribute based XML is also available but commented out in the XSL file. I have implemented these features in a VBScript class called CDatabase. Helper, which encapsulates. To retrieve XML from the database you can call the Execute. Data. Set method of this. Execute method which accepts a return type argument. This XSL stylesheet and CDatabase. Helper class are both available for download at the end of this article. The following code illustrates how to use the CDatabase. Helper class to run a simple SQL query against. Access Northwind database, returning a human readable XML stream.

Helper class can also be used to transform shaped Recordsets into XML. Shaped Recordsets have been discussed here on 4. Guys previously see Richard Chisholms Converting. Hierarchical Recordsets into XML for more information. To handle shaped Recordsets, the XSL stylesheet calls itself recursively when there is a child element present. To this end, this approach will support shaped Recordsets with parent child sibling and parent child grandchild. Torrent Hip Hop Sample Pack'>Torrent Hip Hop Sample Pack. Included in the download is an ASP page that demonstrates working with shaped Recordsets. The example. RS2. XMLShaped. asp displays a list of employees and the orders theyve made. Each lt Employee element contains within it a list of orders made by that employee. The following. snippet shows what the XML emitted by the RS2. XMLShaped. asp looks like.
