GetString method example (VJ++)

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

This example demonstrates the GetString method.

Assume you are debugging a data access problem and want a quick, simple way of printing the current contents of a small Recordset.

 
// BeginGetStringJ 
// The WFC class includes the ADO objects. 
import com.ms.wfc.data.*; 
import java.io.* ; 
 
public class GetStringX

 // The main entry point for the application. 
 
 public static void main (String[] args) 
 { 
 GetStringX (); 
 System.exit(0); 
 } 
 
 // GetStringX function 
 static void GetStringX() 
 { 
 // Define ADO Objects. 
 Connection cnConn1 = null; 
 Recordset rstAuthors = null; 
 
 // Declarations. 
 BufferedReader in = 
 new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

 try 
 { 
 // Get the user input for state. 
 System.out.println( 
 "Enter a state (CA, IN, KS, MD, MI, OR, TN, UT): "); 
 String strState = in.readLine().trim(); 
 String strQuery = 
 "SELECT au_fname, au_lname, address, city FROM Authors " + 
 "WHERE state = '" + strState + "'"; 
 
 // Open recordset with data from Authors table. 
 cnConn1 = new Connection(); 
 cnConn1.open(strCnn); 
 rstAuthors = new Recordset(); 
 rstAuthors.open(strQuery, 
 cnConn1, 
 AdoEnums.CursorType.STATIC, 
 AdoEnums.LockType.READONLY, 
 AdoEnums.CommandType.TEXT); 
 
 if (rstAuthors.getRecordCount() > 0) 
 { 
 // Use all defaults: get all rows, TAB column delimiter, 
 // CARRIAGE RETURN 
 // row delimiter, empty-string null delimiter. 
 strOutput = 
 rstAuthors.getString(AdoEnums.StringFormat.CLIPSTRING, 
 rstAuthors.getRecordCount(), 
 "\t ", 
 "\n",

 System.out.println("\nState = '" + strState + "'" +

 System.out.println(strOutput); 
 } 
 else

 System.out.println("\nPress <Enter> to continue..");

 }

 } 
 
 // System read requires this catch.

 } 
 
 finally 
 { 
 // Cleanup objects before exit. 
 if (rstAuthors != null) 
 if (rstAuthors.getState() == 1) 
 rstAuthors.close(); 
 if (cnConn1 != null) 
 if (cnConn1.getState() == 1) 
 cnConn1.close(); 
 } 
 
 } 
 
 // PrintProviderError Function 
 
 static void PrintProviderError( Connection Cnn1 )
