hi,
i have just started learning ASP. i m doing database connectivity in ASP. my problem is with the insert query.
i have a page "form.asp" for taking input from user. after entering data when user clicks the next button, page "display.as p" have to be displayed. i m using POST method with my form. now i m confused where to write the insert query??? either in form.asp or display.asp??? or there should be an intermediate page between these two pages that contains only the insert query???? i m really confused and want some help.
thanks

I would definitely put it in display.asp (before writing any data to the web page). There is nothing logically wrong with putting it in a script between the two pages, and I've even done it successfully all on one page, but that involves a big if...else statement: -
if request.form("name") = "" then
-
'data hasn't been submitted, so show form
-
else
-
'data has been submitted, so update db
-
'afterwards do the display
-
end if
I guess it's kind of up to you, but I think the easiest is on display.asp

hmm. That's odd. I thought if you used an autonumber you just had to ignore that field when updating. Let me give it a think.
I know I simulated an autonumber once by finding the highest number in the table then adding one.

Hello,
I have a table which contains some nullable columns. I want to write a
single query, which can be prepared (ie. prepared statement), that can

in a standard-conforming manner?
The simple for of the query is this:

Hello!
The reference database I currently use runs queries that pull data from hundreds of tables in order to create user-friendly form view. The problem is that these queries can take upwards of 30 seconds to return.
The solution that I've devised is to create an admin function to cache all these query results and then dump that data into a new, consolidated table, and then have the users search through those new tables. Since our...

Suppose you're using a query to update or append many records in a
large table. And suppose one of those fields is a T/D stamp table and
you're using Now() to write its value. It is conceivable that a large
number of records could take a few milliseconds to write and that the
time could change from 13:00:00 to 13:00:01 between the time the first
record was modified and the time the last was modified.
Now I've never seen that happen. But...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
