where clause in asp
I have to create a website in asp for an college assignment, however im having trouble writing a where clause.
The query below works
<%
Dim ORp
Set oRSp=server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")
sqltext="Select * from products"
orsp.open sqltext, "dsn=20509703"
%>But when i add the where clause i get errors
<%
Dim ORp
Set oRSp=server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")
sqltext="Select * from products where cat_ID='1' "
orsp.open sqltext, "dsn=20509703"
%>the error for this query is like this
Provider error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/20509703/test.asp, line 13

fixed it i enclosed the integer in single quotes cat_ID='1' where it should not be in single quotes, im guessing because it is an integer?

Yes that's correct. Am sure I've made the same mistake with ASP before too.
Just love the error reporting: 'Unspecified error', how helpful!
