How to Connect to Database using a Connection String
http://www.webcheatsheet.com/asp/database_connection.php
The power of Active Server Pages comes through when we tie databases to our web sites. To connect to a database, ASP uses what is called ActiveX Data Objects, or ADO for short. ADO comes with ASP, and can be used easily from your ASP pages.
In this tutorial we will show you how to connect to our Access database called 'examples.mdb' and retrieve all the records from the table 'cars'.
At first we must create an instance of the connection object and feed it the location of the database we wish to connect to and the driver that we intend to use. For these purposes we will use a connection string. You can choose an ODBC or an OLEDB connection string. We will use OLEDB for our example as it's faster and more stable. Next, we should open the connection to the database: ASP > Tips and Tutorials > Database-related Oct 10, 2006 WebCheatSheet

Allowing multiple choices of data observations enables people to customize views of your data and adds value to your applications. The following example utilizes our db on the career statistics of Hammerin? Hank Greenberg. The years he played are available to select from in a dropdown menu. When multiple years are selected they are passed comma delimited. Utilizing the where in statement in our sql the comma delimited selections are appended to our sql statement to display only those years selected. Because we are looking for numeric values in our where in statement no modification to the comma delimited input is necessary. When character input is involved a replace statement can be used to put the appropriate quotation marks into your statement. Which is also provided in this example, but must be un-commented to be used

Active Server Pages allow us an easy means of querying and updating a database from a webpage. This article describes the basics of using this technique in a nutshell. The examples given here utilize a Microsoft Access database, but the principles elucidated apply equally well to ASP integration with other databaes. (Access has been selected because it is widely familiar, easy to use, and adequate for many small to medium-sized projects.)

In this article we will learn on how to use database transactions in ASP. This will allow us to execute all database queries or none at all. How many times have you wanted to insert, update a lot of records collectively wanting that either all of them get executed or if there is an error then none is executed at all ? Well, if you haven't this need yet, you will have it in near future.

Many a time, you are confronted with creating a system DSN for use with ASP. If you have an ISP account, this might take time and more than sometimes - money. This article describes how to use File DSNs and save time and money. Also, you can reuse these DSNs and thus, with some modifications, use the same DSN for as many database connections.

But why? I read Part I and I was able to implement a simple database program very easily. Why would I need to learn anything more?
You might have implemented some database program.. but I am sure it would be a very simple one. You may even be able to implement a good database program without Joins. But you wouldn't be using the features of SQL that let you do the same work much easily. Without Joins, you may manage SQL.. but with Joins you could do things very easily
