ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Errors

Whenever an error during the database session occurs, the Errors collection of the Connection object is where you need to go. It contains a group of Error objects that you can examine in order to understand the error. However, this is not the same as detecting an error -- although closely related. The "count"-property of the Errors collection returns the number of Error objects present, thus you use it best to detect errors.

<% # Create an instance of a Connection object # $conn = $Server->CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); # Open it by providing a System DSN as the parameter # $conn->Open( "ADOSamples" ); # Deliberately cause an error by typo'ing the query # $conn->Execute( "ZELKECT * FROM Orders" ); if($conn->Errors->{Count} > 0) { $Response->Write("There's been an error ..."); $Response->Write($conn->Errors(0)); } $conn->Close(); # Close the connection undef($conn); # Destroy the object %>
