RE: FLASH: SQL/ASP?

[Steve Minton]

With pleasure


ASP is a scripting format which is mainly used for generating database

driven pages.


SQL is a database query language which actually forms the link between ASP

and the Database and is platform independant.


Consider


<%

SQL = "SELECT * FROM DatabaseTable"


RS(DatabaseField1)

%>


Where SQL = "SELECT * FROM DatabaseTable"  is the SQL code which queries the

database, telling it to retrieve everything from a database table called

DatabaseTable.


And RS(DatabaseField1) is ASP code which writes the value of DatabaseField1

in the current location in the HTML.

Subject: FLASH: SQL/ASP?



I am reading questions that seem to equate SQL and ASP.  Is SQL one form

of ASP?


I thought ASP was a WIN NT only dynamic database query and page

generating system.


I thought SQL was for Unix...



Can someone enlighten me?


Thanks


Jeff
