I need to get data from another databases. I tryied using linked objects and it works but it is too slow and expensive as I need a table for each view.
Is it possible to connect to a SQL Server and run a command? Maybe with an automation or DotNet variable?
It would be perfect if I can tun this: Select * from MyTable and read the rows. So I can generate a temporaly table and run a page.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. It sound great. What if I cant Find System.Data.Variables...?
Yes, you can connect to SQL and execute the query or stored procedure. Below is an example using DotNet "'System.Data Variables
GetSQLConnectionString returns the connection string

SQLConnection := SQLConnection.SqlConnection(GetSQLConnectionString);
SQLCommand := SQLCommand.SqlCommand();
SQLCommand.Connection := SQLConnection;
SQLConnection.Open;
SQLCommand.CommandText := 'sp_abcd';
SQLCommand.CommandType := SQLCommand.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SQLCommand.CommandTimeout := 120;
// If you have parameters you need to add parameters using the SQL Parameter
SQLParameter := SQLParameter.SqlParameter;
SQLParameter.ParameterName := '@CustomerNo';
SQLParameter.SqlDbType := SQLParameter.SqlDbType.VarChar;
SQLParameter.Direction := SQLParameter.Direction.Input;
SQLParameter.Size := 50;
SQLParameter.Value:=CustNo;
SQLCommand.Parameters.Add(SQLParameter);
SQLCommand.ExecuteScalar;
SQLConnection.Close;
SQLConnection.Dispose;
