These examples will show you some of the things you can do with RPG2SQL to create, manipulate or delete Microsoft Access database tables.
Unlike Excel where you can directly create the spread sheet, if you want to create a database you will have to start with a blank database already created and you can use the following command to copy the blank database in order to create a table, place data into and still allowing the blank database to remain unchanged for future use.
*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * ** Copy selected PC file *--------------------------------------------------------------------- C Eval Rtn = SQL_PCFileCopy(SQL_Socket: C 'c:\TestBlankDB.mdb': C 'c:\testoutput\TestFilledDB.mdb')
*---------------------------------------------------------------------
* ** Open ADO SQL Database Connection
* ** for MS Access Database TestFilledDB.mdb
*---------------------------------------------------------------------
C Eval Rtn = SQL_DBOpenConn(SQL_Socket:
C 'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver ' +
C '(*.mdb)}; ' +
C 'Dbq=c:\testoutput\' +
C 'TestFilledDB.mdb; ' +
C 'Uid=admin;' +
C 'Pwd=;')
*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * ** Run SQL command to create NameAddress table *--------------------------------------------------------------------- C Eval Rtn = SQL_RunSQLExec(SQL_Socket: C 'CREATE TABLE NameAddress + C (ID COUNTER, First STRING, + C Last STRING, Address1 STRING, + C Address2 STRING, City STRING, + C State STRING, Zip STRING, + C Phone STRING, Fax STRING, + C Email STRING, Date1 DATETIME, + C Dollars NUMERIC)')
*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * ** Code to add a column *--------------------------------------------------------------------- C Eval Rtn = SQL_RunSQLExec(SQL_Socket: C 'ALTER TABLE NameAddress + C ADD COLUMN CellPhone STRING')
*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * ** Code to delete a column *--------------------------------------------------------------------- C Eval Rtn = SQL_RunSQLExec(SQL_Socket: C 'ALTER TABLE NameAddress + C DROP COLUMN Zip')
To delete a table, use the DROP TABLE. The following code example deletes a table named NameAddress:
*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * ** Code to delete a table *--------------------------------------------------------------------- C Eval Rtn = SQL_RunSQLExec(SQL_Socket: C 'DROP TABLE NameAddress')

300 * Program Name: TSTCRTDBR
400 *
500 * Purpose:
600 * This sample program copies the TestBlankDB.mdb file and creates
700 * a new table and then inserts records into it.
800 *
900 * Processing Steps:
1000 * 1) Connects to a RPG2SQL server using specified IP address.
1100 * 2) Copies TestBlankDB.mdb.
1200 * 3) Opens a MS Access Database via ADO.
1300 * 4) Creates table NameAddress.
1400 * 4) Inserts 10 duplicate records into the name and address table.
1500 * **Note: Allowing duplicates is not standard coding practice,
1600 * but for our example it works and you may have uses for
1700 * duplicate records as well in your own applications.
1800 * 5) Closes ADO connection.
1900 * 6) Closes RPG2SQL server connection.
2000 *
2100 * Note: This sample does no error checking. In your own code you
2200 * will need to check the return codes and last error by
2300 * using the last error return info returned by the
2400 * SQL_LastErrNum, SQL_LastErrMsg or SQL_LastFullErr message.
