Dim Statement As Object<br />
Dim ResultSet As Object<br />
DatabaseContext = createUnoService("com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext")<br />
DataSource = DatabaseContext.getByName("Customers")<br />
If Not DataSource.IsPasswordRequired Then<br />
Connection = DataSource.GetConnection("","")<br />
Else<br />
InteractionHandler = createUnoService("com.sun.star.sdb.InteractionHandler")<br />
Connection = DataSource.ConnectWithCompletion(InteractionHandler)<br />
End If<br />
Statement = Connection.createStatement()<br />
ResultSet = Statement.executeQuery("SELECT ""CustomerNumber"" FROM ""Customer""")<br />
If Not IsNull(ResultSet) Then<br />
While ResultSet.next<br />
MsgBox ResultSet.getString(1)<br />
Wend<br />
End If<br />
Database Access<br />
Once the database connection has been established, the code used in the example first uses the<br />
Connection.createObject call to create a Statement object. This Statement object then uses the<br />
executeQuery call to return the actual ResultSet. The program now checks whether the ResultSet actually<br />
exists and traverses the data records using a loop. The values required (in the example, those from the<br />
CustomerNumber field) returns the ResultSet using the getString method, whereby the parameter 1<br />
determines that the call relates to the values of the first column.<br />
Note – VBA : The ResultSet object from SDBC is comparable with the Recordset object from DAO and<br />
ADO, since this also provides iterative access to a database.<br />
Note – StarOffice 5 : The database is actually accessed in <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> through a ResultSet object. This<br />
reflects the content of a table or the result of a SQL-SELECT command. In the past, the ResultSet object<br />
provided the resident methods in the Application object for navigation within the data, for example,<br />
DataNextRecord ).<br />
Type-Specific Methods for Retrieving Values<br />
As can be seen in the example from the previous section, <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> provides a getString method for<br />
accessing table contents. The method provides the result in the form of a string. The following get methods are<br />
available:<br />
getByte()<br />
supports the SQL data types for numbers, characters and strings<br />
getShort()<br />
getInt()<br />
getLong()<br />
