Basically everytime I need a page to access a database I will create a connection object, and then at the end of the page I will close the connection object.
Would it be more sensible to create all the connections to the database that a user will need when they first visit the site, and then close these connections once they leave the site. (Using something to do with Start Session and End Session).
I was working on a site an I forgot to open up a connection to my database, but it connected anyway.For example here is the code to create the recordset I am using
connb4b = "DSN=b4b2005" 'i left out the uid and pwd of course for obvious security reasons
set myRecordSet = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
mySQL = "SELECT * FROM inn WHERE inn_code = '" & myInnCode & "'"
myRecordSet.Open mySQL, connB4B, 2, 3
Anyway, the above code created the recordset fine. Do you not have to open a connection to the database, but just pass it the connection string in the open command of the recordset?
I have a site on 1and1. The site has a simple login as well as other asp applications. This site uses an access DB. Last week all the scripts that accessed any database resulted in this error: Code:

I have a web form that uploads a file to the server where the file is proccessed and outputs a report, the time lapse between uploading the file and the report being produced varys from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the number of clients requesting reports.

I would like to how to count the number of visits a person makes to a particular asp page. Let me give an example. Suppose a person is participating in an e-discussion.

i have implemented the below code into all of my pages within my website. my impression was that when a physical human being reaches each page the code will enter an increase of 1 into my database for that particular page. i have noticed the hits have been way high but i dont believe that a human is generating these hits.
Are bots and other programs on the net able to generate hits into my database according to my code? Code:
I am trying to run a script that will add users to a database so they can register with the site. ive got it working so that the users are added however i am trying to prevent people from registering the same username or email address and this is not working.
the script firstly checks that the user has filled out all the fields in the form from the previous page then the script is supposed to check the database for the username and email then adds the user if it is all ok however if the fields have all been filled out it simply adds the users anyway. here is one of the check scripts i am using VBscript and an access database .....
I am using an application I have put together which unfortunately uses an Access database. I say unfortunately, as I have got a lot of users hitting the db at the same time - inserting and updating... plus retrieving information.
Is there a way I can safeguard inserts and updates or at least have more friendly error pages so that the user can retry to send their data... ? I don't want pages to simply fall over because there are too many users.if this is possible. Even if there is a delay or some other technique I can employ, so that inserts can be queued?
When more than one user tries to access my system, one user gets his page processed, and the other users recieve an error message stating:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not use ''; file already in use.
/processweb/html/cpr/admin/sel_sc.asp, line 25
I am using ASP 2, MS Access 97 and IIS 4. Any ideas why only one user is allowed to access the database simultaneously? The database file itself is closed.
I have a hunch it may be because the IUSR_[machine name] user account on the web server does not have access to the *.ldb database locking information file... Does this sound like a plausible reason?
I am tryin to create a database of users for my system,each user is given a username based on their own name(surname and first name), however if 2 users with the same or similar name enter their details they will be given the same username,for example john drew would return drewj as thier username, so would jack drew, when a new user is entering their details how do i check that the username generated for them does not already exist,i.e i need to compare the username generated for the new user with all usernames already held in the database,if the username does already exist i want to add a digit to the end of the username how is this done using asp?

View Replies View Relatedthis should be an easy one. I have a script which I use to add a new record to a database. Simple enough. But I have always used this string in opening up a database for just such a purpose:

I was wondering if i can create an if/else statement that checks if my connection string that opens a database ie:
cnnDB.Open Application.Contents.Item("CONNECTION_STRING" )
(the actuall connection string is in my global.asa file incase u were wondering) ...or if the database can't be found or opened, will run some other code... like a message?

View Replies View RelatedI would be glad of some help being new to ASP.
I manage my department information through an Access relational database and an http network model database. Naturally enough I want to combine them.
We have an old NT driven LAN with pc's running Win 9x or XP pro. The file server is nearly up to capacity on storage and bandwidth, the new XP machines have plenty. The network is backed up daily. If possible I want to use the XP m/c as a web server.
I want to use IIS and ASP from an XP m/c to read and write to databases on the file server but can't seem to get the connection string right, I have tried many, with and without DSN's. Having checked up on IIS (installed on XP pro) I suspect that it can only connect locally. Certainly everything runs on a test setup in C:/inetpub/wwwroot which can be accessed across the LAN and ASP runs fine.

cN.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; password=joy; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("db1.mdb")

How do i detect whether the database connection is open or not in a asp page?
