This following code example illustrates how you can use the CreateADOCommand method in your scripts. It uses the Biblio.mdb database shipped with Microsoft Visual Basic. The TestProc routine uses the IAQADOCommand object to execute a query with parameters. Query results are then posted to the test log.

Notes:

The syntax of the command’s query depends on the SQL provider you use. For instance, if you work through the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider, you can specify parameters by their names. Some other providers may use question marks (?) as parameter placeholders (the first question mark corresponds to the first parameter, the second - to the second and so on). Some providers may support both techniques, or use their own syntax. For more information on the command syntax, see the database provider's documentation.
Using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider requires that you run your script in the 32-bit version of TestComplete.

TestComplete 32-bit executable is located in the <TestComplete>\Bin folder.
