Remarks

 

This function is not a standard ADODB function but a personalized thinBasic function.

It was designed because very often, when handling data from a DB, it is necessary to lookup just one value giving a SQL statement.

Instead to instantiate an ADODB_Recordset to just do one lookup, use this function.
