DBExec

 

Not supported in Macro Scheduler Lite.

 

DBExec>database_reference,SQL_Statement,result

 

Executes an SQL statement.  Use DBExec to execute SQL statements that do not return a recordset.  E.g. DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE queries.

 

For SELECT queries use DBQuery to return a recordset array.

 

Accepts a database reference created by a call to DBConnect, and an SQL_Statement.  Specify a result variable to return the number of rows affected by the SQL statement.

 

To set a timeout for the command set the DB_COMMANDTIMEOUT variable to a number of seconds.

 

For more advanced database manipulation use VBScript.  See:
