Question

I have an error in the following sql.

    (SELECT shorthand, display, larry_ranking, site_url
FROM larrydb_site_list lsl JOIN larrydb_review lr on
lsl.sid = lr.sid 
WHERE display=true AND niche='regular' 
ORDER BY larry_ranking DESC Limit 2)


UNION


(SELECT shorthand, display, larry_ranking, site_url
FROM larrydb_site_list lsl JOIN larrydb_review lr on
lsl.sid = lr.sid 
WHERE display=true AND niche='regular' AND shorthand='sexier')

I put it into one line:

    dim rsFav
sSQL = "(SELECT shorthand, display, larry_ranking, site_url FROM larrydb_site_list lsl JOIN larrydb_review lr on lsl.sid = lr.sid WHERE display=true AND niche='regular' ORDER BY larry_ranking DESC Limit 2) UNION (SELECT shorthand, display, larry_ranking, site_url FROM larrydb_site_list lsl JOIN larrydb_review lr on lsl.sid = lr.sid WHERE display=true AND niche='regular' AND shorthand='sexier')"
Set rsFav = objConn.Execute(sSQL)

I get this error..

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0cc1' Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.

/sandbox/inc_fav_sites.asp, line 29

I think the problem is in the sql string….not in the asp code..cause I didnt touch it

This line 29 <a href="http://livecamdeals.com/review.asp?sitename=<%=LCase(rsFav(""))%>"></a>

Sorry, I dont know asp programming but sql..

Answer 1

Your problem is that, in ASP, you are asking the RecordSet (i.e. the results back from SQL) for a column called "" (empty-string).

Obviously, you’re SQL does not return such a column!!

The fix is to change the ASP code to select the correct column. E.g. to select the site_url column :

LCase(rsFav("site_url")
