- SQL 2 Variable
- ==============
-
- This little utility is used to format a long SQL statement
- so that it can be assigned to an Access Basic or Visual
- Basic variable in small chunks. Rather than assigning one
- long string to the variable you can break it up into pieces.
- This makes the code much easier to read.
-
- For example, this program will reformat this:
-
- TRANSFORM
- Sum([Current Month Transactions].POUNDS) AS SumOfPOUNDS
- SELECT
- PRODUCTS.COPRODUCT,
- [Current Month Transactions].LOCATION_CODE,
- LOCATION_CODES.LOCATION_DESC,
- [Current Month Transactions].PRODUCT_CODE,
- [Current Month Transactions].PACKAGE_TYPE,
- PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_NAME,
- PACKAGE_TYPE_CODES.PACKAGE_DESC
- FROM [Current Month Transactions],
- PRODUCTS,
- PACKAGE_TYPE_CODES,
- LOCATION_CODES,
- [Current Month Transactions]
- INNER JOIN PRODUCTS ON
- [Current Month Transactions].PRODUCT_CODE =
- PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_CODE,
- [Current Month Transactions]
- INNER JOIN PACKAGE_TYPE_CODES ON
- [Current Month Transactions].PACKAGE_TYPE =
- PACKAGE_TYPE_CODES.PACKAGE_TYPE,
- [Current Month Transactions]
- INNER JOIN LOCATION_CODES ON
- [Current Month Transactions].LOCATION_CODE =
- LOCATION_CODES.LOCATION_CODE
- GROUP BY PRODUCTS.COPRODUCT,
- [Current Month Transactions].LOCATION_CODE,
- LOCATION_CODES.LOCATION_DESC,
- [Current Month Transactions].PRODUCT_CODE,
- [Current Month Transactions].PACKAGE_TYPE,
- PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_NAME,
- PACKAGE_TYPE_CODES.PACKAGE_DESC
- ORDER BY PRODUCTS.COPRODUCT,
- [Current Month Transactions].LOCATION_CODE,
- LOCATION_CODES.LOCATION_DESC,
- [Current Month Transactions].PRODUCT_CODE,
- [Current Month Transactions].PACKAGE_TYPE
- PIVOT [Current Month Transactions].TRANSACTION_CODE
- In ("EI","S","TR","REC","BI","SL","SS","OG")
- WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
-

-
- In some cases you might want to do a little cleanup of the
- generated code, but this utility should save you a little bit
- of typing if you often copy Access SQL statements into either
- Access Basic or Visual Basic code.
-
- This utility is free. It requires the run-time file VBRUN300.DLL
- which is not included. You can find this file on the MSBASIC,
- WINFUN, or WINSHARE forums on Compuserve.
