Does anyone know how to do the following vb6 code using bind variables
for oracle dbs, in .net?

dim cmdMyCommand as ADODB.COMMAND
Set cmdMyCommand = New ADODB.COMMAND
With cmdMyCommand
.ActiveConnection = objConn
.CommandText = "Select COL1 from TABLENAME Where COL2 = ?"
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter( "", _
adVarChar, adParamInputOutput, "SOMESTUFF")
Set rsMyRecordset = .Execute
End With

In the .net version I was trying to write it seems to complain about
the ?, in my code there are LIKE statements in the SQL as well, how can
bind variables be used [LIKE %?% doesn't work]

I was doing somthing like this:

Dim cmdMyCommand As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand
Dim pInParam As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter

cmdMyCommand = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand
With cmdMyCommand
.Connection = oCon
.CommandText = "Select COL1 from TABLENAME Where COL2 = ?"
'OR .commandText = "Select COL1 from TABLENAME where value LIKE% ?
%"
.Prepare()
pInParam = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter
pInParam.Value = sString.ToString()
.Parameters.Add(pInParam)
.ExecuteNonQuery()
End With

RDS,

Binding in Net is not the same as setting an sql parameter, which you cannot
bind.

I assume that your question is the last. We have two samples on our website
about SQL sever and OleDb for that.

We don't have it for Oracle however see for the more general description
this

Did you know that for this kind of ADODB question the more properiate
newsgroups is

I hope this helps,

Cor,

The use of "Bind variables" is a different concept than "data binding". See the following:

http://www.rittman.net/archives/000832.html

Specifically he's just asking about the use of the Command object and named parameters. So if you
have a PL/SQL statement like the following:

select salary from employees where employee_number = :empno

You would add a Parameter object with the name "empno" to the Parameter collection in order to
support bind variables.
