Generic Database Display Made Easy

When you want a quick easy generic database display, go on over to:
http://www.genericdb.com

Here Eli Robillard has done a lot of work for you. You modify one ASP file that specifies your database and query specs and his ASP scripts magically do the rest.

Here is an example where I make a pubs.asp designed to plug into his ASP scripts.

   filename=/learn/test/genericdb/pub.asp

<Test Script Below>


<% 
    ' Generic interface to the Northwinds Employee table. 
    Session("dbGenericPath") = "/learn/test/genericdb/"
    Session("dbExitPage") = "http://www.activeserverpages.com"
    Session("dbTitle") = "Pubs"
    Session("dbType") = "SQL"
    Session("dbConn") = "DSN=student;uid=student;pwd=magic"
    Session("dbRs") = "Publishers"
    Session("dbKey") = 1
    Session("dbOrder") = 2
    Session("dbRecsPerPage") = 10
    Session("dbFooter") = 1
    Session("dbDispList") = "011101000000100010"
    Session("dbDispView") = "111111111111111111"
    Session("dbDispEdit") = "011111111111111111"
    Session("dbSearchFields") = "011100010010001000"
    Session("dbDefault6") = Date()
    Session("dbCombo11") = "LIST, ??, Unknown, CA, Canada, US, United States, DE, Denmark"
    Session("dbDefault17") = 10
    Session("dbWhere") = ""
    Session("dbDebug") = 1
    Session("dbCanEdit") = 1
    Session("dbCanAdd") = 1
    Session("dbCanDelete") = 1
    Session("dbConfirmDelete") = 1
    Session("dbViewPage") = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
    Response.Redirect Session("dbGenericPath") & "GenericList.asp"
%>

There is even a listserve supporting this great FREE script collection @
http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspgenericdb.asp
It is not a general database troubleshooting list, instead only questions concerning these wonderful scripts are allowed.
