NumericScale and Precision Properties Example (VB)

This example uses the NumericScale and Precision properties to display the numeric scale and precision of fields in the Discounts table of the Pubs database.

'BeginNumericScaleVB
Public Sub NumericScaleX()

   Dim rstDiscounts As ADODB.Recordset
   Dim fldTemp As ADODB.Field
   Dim strCnn As String

   ' Open recordset.
   strCnn = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
      "Data Source=MyServer;Initial Catalog=Pubs;User Id=sa;Password=; "
   Set rstDiscounts = New ADODB.Recordset
   rstDiscounts.Open "Discounts", strCnn, , , adCmdTable

   ' Display numeric scale and precision of
   ' numeric and small integer fields.
   For Each fldTemp In rstDiscounts.fields
      If fldTemp.Type = adNumeric _
         Or fldTemp.Type = adSmallInt Then
         MsgBox "Field: " & fldTemp.Name & vbCr & _
            "Numeric scale: " & _
               fldTemp.NumericScale & vbCr & _
            "Precision: " & fldTemp.Precision
      End If
