SQLLite

Hi All:sign0085:

I get to grips with B4PPC - with everything, except SQLLte:sign0148: I have the following code where I can store a coordinate or update a coordinate::sign0148:

Sub SaveCoord_Click
Dim a

ErrorLabel (NoPoint)
If PntName.Text<>"" Then
If CFile=0 Then
text="update LCoords Set YCoord = '"
Else If CFile=1 Then
text="update LCoords Set YCoord = '"
Else
text="update LCoords Set YCoord = '"
End If
Text=Text & YCoord.Text & "'," & "XCoord = '" & XCoord.Text & "'," & "ZCoord = '" & ZCoord.Text
Text=Text & "'," & "Description = '" & Descrip.Text & "'"
Text=Text & " where PntName = '" & PntName.Text &"'"
cmd.CommandText=text
A=cmd.ExecuteNonQuery
*** If A=1 Then
'Point exits
Msgbox ("Point Exists - Override?", "Point Exits", cMsgboxYesNo, cMsgboxQuestion)
End If **
If A=0 Then Goto NoPoint
ShowCoords(1,CFile)
Return
Else
Msgbox ("Enter A Valid Point Name", "Point Name", cMsgboxOK, cMsgboxExclamation)
PntName.Focus
Return
End If

NoPoint:
'The point does not exist so add the new point
If CFile=0 Then
text="insert into LCoords (PntName,YCoord,XCoord,ZCoord,Description) values ('"
Else If CFile=1 Then
text="insert into GCoords (PntName,YCoord,XCoord,ZCoord,Description) values ('"
Else
text="insert into SCoords (PntName,YCoord,XCoord,ZCoord,Description) values ('"
End If
text=text & PntName.Text & "','" & YCoord.Text & "','" & XCoord.Text & "','" & ZCoord.Text & "','" & Descrip.Text & "')"
cmd.CommandText=text
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery
ShowCoords(1,CFile)
End Sub

Looking at the line codes marked with an astrixs, is where when A=1, the point exists and the new values get updated. How can I "Rollback" that command or have another command to check if the point exists before the values get changed in the database?

Thanks

I really recommend you to try to use parameterized queries.
Your code will be much simpler.

Can't you first run a SELECT query and only then run the UPDATE query if needed?
