request.queryst ring, all values if empty?

[Kim]

How do I get all walues if my querystring is empty?
If I have a table with let's say 10 rows/records, (ID 1-10). I then have a
recordset with request.queryst ring("id") and get the record having the id
thats shown in the address bar ("..com?id=4 " would get the record with the
id 4). How do I get all records if the querystring is empty ("..com")

I have:

<%
Dim rs_yadayada
rs_yadayada= "1"
If (request.querys tring("id") <"") Then
rs_yadayada= request.queryst ring("id")
End If
%>

and in the sql: ...WHERE id = " + Replace(rs_yada yada__id, "'", "''")
-but doesn't get me anything if the querystring is empty. Tried changing the
"1" to wildcards, arrays (1-10),.. but nope, I'm too dumb to figure this
out.

If you want to retrieve all the records in a table, what sql statement would
you write? Write it down. Got it? Now, in your code, check to see if the
quertystring variable is empty. If it is empty, use the sql statement you
just wrote down instead of building one with a where clause.
