Querying an Access database in ASP
http://www.kamath.com/tutorials/tut001_access.asp
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.)

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:

In this article we will learn how to display random records from the database. From the articles so far, you will be able to display records from the database in a variety of ways and do a lot with them. We will add to our ASP-Database knowledge by enabling our ASP scripts to show random records.

The SQL Distributed Management objects (SQL-DMO) extend the functionality of SQL Server by providing developers a way to execute common tasks using programming and scripting languages. The first article in this series entitled "Using the SQL Distributed Management Objects", provided an overview of SQL-DMO. This article expands upon those concepts by showing you how to use SQL-DMO to create an Active Server Page application to backup and verify a SQL Server database.

ODBC is great and all but for speed and reliability you should switch to OLE DB to power your database driven apps. I will show you how to do it two ways: in the global.asa and in any ASP page.

In this article we will see on how to search the database for a group of records. Searching a database is very easy and fun provided you know how to do it. Many of you who know SQL will already be doing it. But I will not use any lengthy SQL statements, instead will use some very useful Recordset object properties; Filter and Sort
