Creating recordsets in DW8 vs CS3

Question

HI
I have recently upgraded to CS3 from Dreamweaver 8 and when i
create a new recordset using server behaviours it looks like
Dim rsNews
Dim rsNews_cmd
Dim rsNews_numRows
Set rsNews_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
rsNews_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_studio_STRING
rsNews_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT NewsActive, NewsTitle FROM
News WHERE NewsActive = True"
rsNews_cmd.Prepared = true
Set rsNews= rsTicker_cmd.Execute
rsNews_numRows = 0
as opposed to
Dim rsNews
Dim rsNews_numRows
Set rsNews= Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsNews.ActiveConnection = MM_studio_STRING
rsNews.Source = "SELECT NewsActive, NewsTitle FROM News WHERE
NewsActive = True"
rsNews.CursorType = 0
rsNews.CursorLocation = 2
rsNews.LockType = 1
rsNews.Open()
rsNews_numRows = 0
which is created by DW8, both using asp vb script
is the 1st one better and does anyone know why CS3 does it?
Thanks
M

Answer 1

Very true if there is access to a cgi bin. I was presenting
the easiest
solution since security is not really an issue for a question
like "do you
like this site"
