Re: What to use for ADO parameter type and size

Running a parameterized query that loops through
a variant array holding integer values. These values may go up to
something like 123456789012345, so beyond
the Integer or Long datatype.

The code will be like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Dim cmdADO As ADODB.Command
Dim oParam As ADODB.Parameter

Set cmdADO = New ADODB.Command
Set oParam = New ADODB.Parameter

With cmdADO
.ActiveConnection = ADOConn
.CommandText = strSQL3 & "?"
.CommandType = adCmdText
End With

With oParam
.Type = adChar
.Size = 15
.Direction = adParamInput
End With

cmdADO.Parameters.Append oParam

For i = 0 To UBound(arr2)

cmdADO.Parameters(0).Value = arr2(i, 0) 'this is a variant
array
Set rs = cmdADO.Execute()
----------------------------------------------------------

How should I define the properties of oParam?
The coding as above works, but somehow doesn't look quite right.
Any suggestions/advice?


What doesn't look right about it (besides the fact that you did not tell ADO
not to build a recordset)?

It could have been simpler: you did not have to use an explicit parameter
object:

Dim cmdADO As ADODB.Command

Set cmdADO = New ADODB.Command

With cmdADO
Set .ActiveConnection = ADOConn '"Set" should be used here
.CommandText = strSQL3 & "?"
.CommandType = adCmdText
.Execute ,Array(arr2(i, 0)), adExecuteNoRecords
End With

But really, there's nothing whrong with what you did.
