Access Database-driven ASP page with embedded RSS feeds

Access Database-driven ASP page with embedded RSS feeds

Hi,

I know very little about web development in general - just some basic html scripting, CSS and a bit of XML. I've inherited a public sector site that is huge, almost entirely database driven and written almost exclusively in ASP.

There are news, bulletin, events and publications pages which all key off Access databases.

I need to associate RSS feeds with these pages, so updates to the database that currently drives the ASP pages also drive the RSS feeds.

I've isolated the queries that should drive each aspect of items in the feed (<title> <description> <link> <pubDate>), but I can't get it to work.

I'm told by developers at the local University that I need to embed the RSS code into an ASP page so the queries still work, but I haven't a clue.

I've copied a database driven ASP page from our news section, and inserted the RSS code in various places, but it doesn't work...

do I start the page with:

<?xml version... or <!DOCTYPE html... or what...

or am I missing something else?

Thanks :)

I want to move my Access 2K database into MSDE. The Access Upsizing Wizard crashes (a known bug wi A2K), so I'm using the following suggested method: Access --> New --> Project (Existing Database) This asks for the name of the .adp file to create and then launches into the Data Link Properties dialog box (so far so good) I select my MSDE server from the drop-down, enter the sa account & passwd, attach a database file and try to...

Hello All, I've been developing a VB.NET app that requires the use of a DB. Up to now, I've been using Access. It's a bit slow, but everything works. I'm at a point now where I need to decide if I should stay with Access or move the DB to SQL. I'm trying to come up with a list of Pros/Cons for such a move. My list is a bit lopsided, as I have very little experience with SQL and quite a bit with Access. PROS for moving to SQL:

SQL Server will be used as the back-end database to a non trivial client application. In question is the choice of client application: I need to be able to speak intelligently about when one client (MS Access vs ..NET Windows Forms) would be preferred over the other. While I have some good arguments on both sides, I would appreciate your points of view on the topic.

I have a report SQL which have been working for a few weeks. Its large and the target database is large. It has 59 join, and I dont think there is anything I can do about this, since the DB I use has been normalized by pros. My problem is I try to had another join to display another value, then I get a crash report from MS-Access. Anything I can to do diagnose this problem. My development depends on this SQL: SELECT

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

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
