Two SQL Statements in Page_Load (Advanced)

[Sparky Arbuckle]

First and foremost, is it possible to execute two SQL statements that
grab different data out of the same database in the same Page_Load
subroutine?

I am building a music store and want to do a SQL for ASIN, Release
Date, Number of Disks, Price, etc... I have done this successfully.

The next SQL I am constructing is going to be for the track numbers,
names, and url for audio clips.

I guess my question is this: How would I go about successfully creating
two different SQL statements and referencing them in two different
datalists? I have successfully created and bound the first SQL to a
DataList and am running in to problems with the second one.

<!-- SQL statement for TrackListing [START] -->

Dim strSQLTracks as string = "SELECT ASIN, TrackNum, TrackName,
SampleURL FROM tblTracks WHERE ASIN ='" & strASIN & "';" & _
"FROM tblDescription WHERE ASIN = '" & strASIN & "';"

<!-- SQL statement for TrackListing [END] -->

Yes it is possible.

You create a seccond datalist and bind that that to the result of a
second SqlCommand instance.

Next time please be more specific in the problem you are running into,
or the code that you are using.
On another note think about using parameterized queries, like stored
procedures to be allot less susceptible to SQL injection attacks. For

Dim strASIN
strASIN = Request.QueryString("ASIN")

Dim objConn as new
OLEDBConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings( "StrConnection"))

Dim strSQL as string = "SELECT ASIN, strTitle, strArtist, decPrice,
strLabel, intNumberDisks, dtReleaseDate, strReview, strImageDir " & _
"FROM tblDescription WHERE ASIN = '" & strASIN & "';"

Dim strSQLTracks as string = "SELECT ASIN, TrackNum, TrackName,
SampleURL FROM tblTracks WHERE ASIN ='" & strASIN & "';" & _
"FROM tblDescription WHERE ASIN = '" & strASIN & "';"

Dim objDataReader as OLEDBDataReader

objConn.Open()

Dim objCommand as new OLEDBCommand(strSQL,objConn)
dlMusic.DataSource =
objCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConn ection)
dlMusic.DataBind()

dlMusic.RepeatColumns = 1

This is the binding for datalist - dlMusic
