sql query problems

Hello,

Once again I am having problems that I think are probably simple formatting mistakes or something, but I need to get this job done before i can take the time to really learn the language, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

OK, I think this is all of the relevant code:
The stuff for opening the connection I think works fine, so I won't paste all of that.


Dim Query_Sport
Dim Query_Sex

Query_Sport = Int(Request.QueryString("sport"))
Query_Sex = Int(Request.QueryString("sex"))

sql = "SELECT * FROM [Students] WHERE Sport1 = " & Query_Sport

sql = sql & " AND Sex = " & Query_Sex


Now, if I do a response.write, I can see the the querystring is 2, and there are definitely students whose sex = 2, but I get no return.
And if I query for males (sex=1), I get back only males.
Confusing :)

Let me know if you need to see more code.

Thanks a lot,
Brian Hill

Are you executing your sql statement?

Example:
Set oRS = oConn.Execute(SQL)

Yup:

Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open sql, conn, 3, 3
If rs.eof Then
rs.AddNew
End If
Set Session("Students_rs") = rs

And it works if you query different sports, so I'm guessing the database stuff is working ok.

What exactly is the problem? If 'the database stuff' is working, why do you then only post the querycomposition?

You did try a

response.write SQL

right? So then just copy paste the generated sql in a querywindow of your db and look if it returns records.

OK, I don't feel too smart now. :)

I was searching for female baseball players, and it seems I hadn't put one in the database.

Sorry.
