Hi all, I'm using Access 2000 .mdb as a backend to my python script and am seeing some inconsistencies in the results.
If I run the script below, I get 15 rows. If I run the SAME EXACT query directly in MS Access, I get 12 rows. Perhaps relevant to the issue - the table referenced in the query below is not actually a table but another query. Can you use rs.Open() on a chained query? Is there some sort of caching going on? Why is there a discrepency? Thanks for any tips! ========================= import win32com.client conn = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Connection') DSN = 'PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=C:/test1.mdb;' conn.Open(DSN) rs = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Recordset') sql = "SELECT [STUDY AREA] AS area FROM [qry base dataset - SS copcs only] GROUP BY [STUDY AREA]" rs.Open(sql, conn, 1, 3) numrows = 0 if rs.RecordCount > 0: rs.MoveFirst() while not rs.EOF: print str(rs.Fields("area")) rs.MoveNext() rs.Close() conn.Close() del conn ======================= -- Matthew T.
