Parameter object ¶
ADO Parameter object provides information about a single parameter thatis used in a stored procedure or query.
Parameter object is added to the Parameters gather around. Parameters set with a specific Command object associated with Command object uses this collection to pass parameters inside and outside stored procedures and queries.
Parameters are used to create parameterized commands. These commands (after they have been defined and stored) use parameters to change some of the details of the command before it is executed. For example, SQL SELECT statement can be defined using parameters WHERE clause, while another parameter is used to define SORT BY the name of the column of the clause.
There are four types of parameters: input parameters, output parameters, input/output parameters and return parameters.Grammar ¶
