I'm new to parametrized SQL. I've got a query in an .asp page that's getting one or more client names from a form. These are held in an array called clientArr and then passed through to SQL server as parameters. I'm escaping the ' as '' but this doesn't appear to be working. If I run the query with a client name like McDonald's, it returns no results.
clientArr(y) = Replace(clientArr(y),"'","''"
...
if qsClient > "" Then
dim booComma
booComma = false
if mySQLwhere > "" Then
mySQLwhere = mySQLwhere& " AND "
End if
mySQLwhere = mySQLwhere & " (p.client IN ( "
for y = 0 to Ubound(clientArr)
if booComma = true Then
mySQLwhere = mySQLwhere & ","
end if
mySQLwhere = mySQLwhere & "?"
booComma = true
Next
mySQLwhere = mySQLwhere & ")) "
end if
...
if qsClient > "" Then
for y = 0 to Ubound(clientArr)
Response.write clientArr(y)
set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("@prm", 129, 1, 50, clientArr(y))
cmd.Parameters.Append prm
next
end if
If I run the query directly or create it by concatenating strings rather then use parameters, it works fine. It also works fine is I use a client name without an apostrophe.
Any help would be much appreciated. Happy to provide more info if I can.
Thanks, Tim
