VBA - working with data videos | Excel VBA Part 56.2 - Get Data from SQL Server with ADO Recordsets
Posted by Andrew Gould on 24 June 2019
This video shows you how to extract data from a SQL Server database using the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) library for VBA and the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server. You'll learn how to write a connection string to connect to a SQL Server databse and how to use a recordset to retrieve data. You'll learn how to populate the recordset using SQL Server tables, views, stored procedures and select statements and how to write the data you've retrieved into an Excel Worksheet.
