I am looking for an example of how to query a MySQL database using Excel VBA.
I am able to use Data \ From Other Sources \ From Microsoft Query to import data from the db, but what I am actually looking for is a way not to import it to a spreadsheet directly, but rather to a data structure in VBA for further manipulation before I output the result to the spreadsheet. How can I do this?
to connect:
conMySQL.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};" & "SERVER=" & server & ";" & " DATABASE=" & database & ";" & "UID=" & login_user & ";PWD=" & password & "; OPTION=3; PORT=" & port & ";Connect Timeout=20;"
'open the connection
conMySQL.Open
then to query:
strSQL = "SELECT x FROM some_table"
MySQL.Query (strSQL)
With rsTemporary
Do Until .EOF
recordCount = recordCount + 1
some_variable = ![supcode]
rsTemporary.MoveNext
Loop
End With
MySQL.closeCon
This works for me:
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver}" _
& ";SERVER=" & server_name _
& ";DATABASE=" & database_name _
& ";UID=" & user_id _
& ";PWD=" & password _
& ";OPTION=3" '
Set rs1 = New ADODB.Recordset
sqlstr = "SELECT * FROM `table1` WHERE `ID`=" & ID & ";"
rs1.Open sqlstr, conn, adOpenStatic
With Worksheets("Main").Cells(1, 1)
.ClearContents
.CopyFromRecordset rs1
End With
rs1.Close
Set rs1 = Nothing
