To get the Size value, use the Databases panel in Dreamweaver. Find your database in the Databases panel and
expand it. Next, find the table you’re working with and expand it. The table lists the sizes for your fields. For example,
it might say ADDRESS (WChar 50). In this example, 50 is the size. You can also find the size in your database
application.
Note: Numeric, Boolean and date/time data types always use -1 as the size.
To determine the Type value, see the following table:
For more information on the type and size of SQL variables, see www.adobe.com/go/4e6b330a.
6 Close the dialog box.
Dreamweaver inserts ASP code in your page that, when run on the server, creates a command that inserts, updates,
or deletes records in the database.
By default, the code sets the Prepared property of the Command object to true, which makes the application server
reuse a single compiled version of the object every time the command is run. To change this setting, switch to Code
view and change the Prepared property to false.
7 Create a page with an HTML form so users can enter record data. In the HTML form, include three text fields
(txtCity, txtAddress, and txtPhone) and a submit button. The form uses the GET method and submits the text field
values to the page that contains your command.
