Database Operations in QTP

ADO (Active Data Objects), this technology allows users to access data easily from
many existing databases (such as Access or Paradox) or from ODBC compliant
databases like Oracle or MS SQL Server. Using ADO is quite simple and allows
programmers to provide flexible database front ends to users that are reliable and
include many features.

Following are some of the key objects found in the ADO object model and some of
their key methods and properties.

Connection Object

This object represents an open connection to the data source. This connection can be
a local connection (say App.Path) or can be across a network in a client server
application. Some of the methods and properties of this object are not available
depending on the type of data source connected to.

Command Object

A command object specifies a specific method we intend to execute on or against the

data source accessed by an open connection.

RecordSet Object

The RecordSet object represents a complete set of records from an executed

command or from an underlying base table in the database. A key thing to note is
that a RecordSet object references only one record at a time as the current record.

Database Scripts Examples:

1) Get Test Data from a Database and use in Data Driven Testing (through
Scripting)

1) Dim con,rs

2) Set con=createobject(“Adodb.connection”)

3) Set rs=createobject(“Adodb.recordset”)

4) con.provider=(“microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0″)

5) con.open “C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorMy DocumentsGcreddy.mdb”

6) rs.open “Select * From Login”,con

7) While rs.eof <>True

8) SystemUtil.Run “C:Program FilesMercury InteractiveQuickTest

Professionalsamplesflightappflight4a.exe”

9) Dialog(“Login”).Activate

10) Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Agent Name:”).Set rs.fields (“Agent”)

11) Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password:”).Set rs.fields (“Password”)

12) Dialog(“Login”).WinButton(“OK”).Click

13) Window(“Flight Reservation”).Close

14) rs.movenext

15) Wend

2) Exporting Data from a Database to an Excel Sheet

1) Dim con,rs

2) Set con=createobject(“adodb.connection”)

3) Set rs=createobject(“adodb.recordset”)

4) con.provider=”microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0″

5) con.open”C:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsGcreddy.mdb”

6) rs.open”select*from Login”,con

7) Set ex=createobject(“Excel.Application”)

Set a=ex.workbooks.open(“C:Documents and SettingsadminMy

DocumentsGcreddy.xls”)

9) Set b=a.worksheets(“sheet1″)

10) i=1

11) Do While Not rs.EOF

12) b.cells (i,1).value=rs.fields(“agent”)

13) b.cells(i,2).value=rs.fields(“password”)

14) rs.movenext

15) i=i+1

16) Loop

17) a.save

18) a.close

3) Exporting Data from a Database to a Text file

Dim objCon,objRs,ObjFso,myFile,myData,rc,r
Set objCon=createobject(“Adodb.connection”)
Set objRs=createobject(“Adodb.Recordset”)
set objFso=createobject(“Scripting.Filesystemobject”)
Set myFile=objFso.OpenTextFile(“C:Documents and SettingsgcrMy
Documentsgcreddy.txt”,8)
objcon.provider=(“Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0″)
objcon.open”C:Documents and SettingsgcrMy Documentsgcreddy.mdb”
objrs.open “select * from login”,objCon
r=1
Do until objRs.EOF
a=objRs.Fields (“Agent”)
b=objRs.Fields (“Pwd”)
myFile.Writeline a &”,”& b
r=r+1
objRs.MoveNext
Loop
myFile.Close
objCon.Close

4) Connecting to a SQL Sever database

Const adOpenStatic = 3

Const adLockOptimistic = 3

Set objConnection = CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)

Set objRecordSet = CreateObject(“ADODB.Recordset”)

objConnection.Open _

objRecordSet.Open “SELECT * FROM Customers”, _

objConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

objRecordSet.MoveFirst

Wscript.Echo objRecordSet.RecordCount

5) Open a Database Using a DSN

Const adOpenStatic = 3

Const adLockOptimistic = 3

Set objConnection = CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)

Set objRecordSet = CreateObject(“ADODB.Recordset”)

objConnection.Open _

objRecordSet.Open “SELECT * FROM Customers”, _

objConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

objRecordSet.MoveFirst

Wscript.Echo objRecordSet.RecordCount

6) Open Two Record sets

Const adOpenStatic = 3

Const adLockOptimistic = 3

Set objConnection = CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)

Set objRecordSet = CreateObject(“ADODB.Recordset”)

Set objRecordSet2 = CreateObject(“ADODB.Recordset”)
