Database Connections


What is adodb connection ?

The ADO(ActiveX Data Objects) Connection object is used to create a connection to a data source. Through this connection, you can access and manipulate a database.
What is adodb recordset?
 The ADO Recordset object is used to hold a set of records from a database table.To be able to read database data, the data should be loaded into a recordset.

QTP Scripts for connecting to MS Access:
Option Explicit
Dim con,rs
 
Set con=createobject("adodb.connection") 
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")

con.open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

rs.open "select * from emp",con

Do while not rs.eof
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val1").Set rs.fields("v1")
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val2").Set rs.fields("v2")
VbWindow("Form1").VbButton("ADD").Click
rs.movenext
Loop

'Release objects'Release objects
Set rs= nothing
Set con= nothing

Note: The database we are using here is MS Access.Before running this script create a table in MS Acess.In the above script I used table called "emp" and column 'names as "v1" and "v2". "d:testdata.mdb" is path of the table which we created. The main use of this script is to use testdata of table(which is in  ' database) in the application. In the above script we are passing values from database to Textboxes in Windows Application.

rs.open "select * from emp",con

Do while not rs.eof
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val1").Set rs.fields("v1")
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val2").Set rs.fields("v2")
VbWindow("Form1").VbButton("ADD").Click

Do while not rs.eof
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val1").Set rs.fields("v1")
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val2").Set rs.fields("v2")
VbWindow("Form1").VbButton("ADD").Click
rs.movenext
Loop

'Release objects
Set rs= nothing
Set con= nothing

QTP Script for connecting to MySQL:
Option Explicit

Set con=createobject("adodb.connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")

con.open"Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=myDB;User=Uname;Password=Pwd;Option=3;"
rs.open "select * from emp",con

Do while not rs.eof
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val1").Set rs.fields("v1")
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val2").Set rs.fields("v2")
VbWindow("Form1").VbButton("ADD").Click
rs.movenext
Loop

'Release objects
Set rs= nothing
Set con= nothing

QTP Script for connecting to Excel:
Option Explicit
Dim con,rs

Set con=createobject("adodb.connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")

con.open "DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=C:\TestStatus.xls;Readonly=True"
rs.open "SELECT count(*) FROM [Status$] where Status = 'Failed' ",con

Msgbox rs(0)

'Release objects
Set rs= nothing
Set con= nothing


QTP Script for connecting to Sybase: 
  
Option Explicit
Dim con,rs

Set con=createobject("adodb.connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")

' Open a session to the database
con.open"Driver={SYBASE SYSTEM 11};Srvr=myServerAddress;Uid=Uname;Pwd=Pwd;Database=myDataBase;"
rs.open "select * from emp",con

Do while not rs.eof
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val1").Set rs.fields("v1")
VbWindow("Form1").VbEdit("val2").Set rs.fields("v2")
VbWindow("Form1").VbButton("ADD").Click
rs.movenext
Loop

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool  to stress test your website and  your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running  distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like  AWS , spin up a couple of  EC2 instances  and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses  Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation)  to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...
