We may use the SQL DELETE command to delete a record in a table in a database.
We want to delete a record in the Customers table in the Northwind database. We first create a table that lists all records in the Customers table:
<html> <body> <% set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb" set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs.open "SELECT * FROM customers",conn %> <h2>List Database</h2> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <% for each x in rs.Fields response.write("<th>" & ucase(x.name) & "</th>") next %> </tr> <% do until rs.EOF %> <tr> <form method="post" action="demo_delete.asp"> <% for each x in rs.Fields if x.name="customerID" then%> <td> <input type="submit" name="customerID" value="<%=x.value%>"> </td> <%else%> <td><%Response.Write(x.value)%></td> <%end if next %> </form> <%rs.MoveNext%> </tr> <% loop conn.close %> </table> </body> </html> |
If the user clicks on the button in the "customerID" column he or she will be taken to a new file called "demo_delete.asp". The "demo_delete.asp" file contains the source code on how to create input fields based on the fields from one record in the database table. It also contains a "Delete record" button that will delete the current record:
<html> <body> <h2>Delete Record</h2> <% set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb" cid=Request.Form("customerID") if Request.form("companyname")="" then set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs.open "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customerID='" & cid & "'",conn %> <form method="post" action="demo_delete.asp"> <table> <%for each x in rs.Fields%> <tr> <td><%=x.name%></td> <td><input name="<%=x.name%>" value="<%=x.value%>"></td> <%next%> </tr> </table> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Delete record"> </form> <% else sql="DELETE FROM customers" sql=sql & " WHERE customerID='" & cid & "'" on error resume next conn.Execute sql if err<>0 then response.write("No update permissions!") else response.write("Record " & cid & " was deleted!") end if end if conn.close %> </body> </html> |
