Ok. After several tries, I think I found out why it breaks and it has
nothing to do with the number of records...
Here is the code/ see notes below:
######################### code starts here
# First import wincom32 client
from win32com.client import *
# Create the ADO Connection object via COM
oConn = Dispatch(r'ADODB.Connection')
# Now set the connection properties via the ConnectionString
oConn.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + \
"DATA SOURCE=C:/Documents and Settings/user/Desktop/PythonWS/data/
anydata.mdb;"
# Now open the connection
oConn.Open()
# create a recordset
rs = Dispatch(r'ADODB.Recordset')
rs.Open('SELECT TOP 300 * FROM input;', oConn, constants.adOpenStatic,
constants.adLockOptimistic)
rs.MoveFirst()
counter = 1
while not rs.EOF:
print counter # do nothing, just cycle through
counter += 1
rs.MoveNext()
# cleanup
rs.Close()
rs = None
oConn.Close()
oConn = None
print 'Done!'
##################### code ends here
the line where it breaks:
rs.Open('SELECT TOP 300 * FROM input;', oConn, constants.adOpenStatic,
constants.adLockOptimistic)
'input' is supposed to be the table name, but it breaks in Python when
you want to open the recordset.
I need to use:
rs.Open('SELECT TOP 300 * FROM [input];', oConn,
constants.adOpenStatic, constants.adLockOptimistic)
as input is an SQL keyword...arrrrrgh.
