The OraAttribute object represents an attribute of a Value or REF instance of an OraObject or an OraRef.
The OraAttribute object can be accessed from the OraObject or OraRef object by creating a subscript that uses ordinal integers or by using the name attribute.
See the Value (OraAttribute) property for a table that identifies the attribute type and the return value of the Value property of the OraAttribute object:
The following example accesses the attributes of the ADDRESS value instance in the server. Before running the sample code, make sure that you have the necessary data types and tables in the database. See "Schema Objects Used in the OraObject and OraRef Examples".
Dim OraSession As OraSession
Dim OraDatabase As OraDatabase
Dim OraDynaset As OraDynaset
Dim Address As OraObject
Dim City As OraAttribute
Dim State As OraAttribute
'Create the OraSession Object.
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
'Create the OraDatabase Object by opening a connection to Oracle.
Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase("ExampleDb", "scott/tiger", 0&)
'create a dynaset object from person_tab
Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset("select * from person_tab", 0&)
'retrieve an address column from person_tab
'the Value property of OraField object returns Address OraObject
Set Address = OraDynaset.Fields("Addr").Value
'access the City attribute object
Set City = Address("City")
' display the value of City attribute Object
MsgBox City.Value
'access the State attribute object
Set State = Address("State")
'display the value of State attribute Object
MsgBox State.Value
