Execute a tsql statement from VB6

Hi,

I am a .net developer.I would like to know the code to execute an sql statement which looks like exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'test' from vb6.

Thanks,
Adityaraj.

Hi aditya... Welcome to the forums...:wave:

Check this tutorial: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=381391 :)

Thread moved to 'Database Development' forum (the 'VB6' forum is only meant for questions which don't fit in more specific forums)

I would actually recommend the "ADO Tutorial" from the "Classic VB" section of our Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (at the top of this forum).

All you need for this is the Connection object, and then you can use code like this:

Code:

---

cn.Execute "exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'test'"

---

However, it would also be apt (and better for various reasons) to use a Command object to run it, and there is another FAQ article which covers that.
