Returns the number of OraAttribute objects in the collection. This is same as the total number of attributes of the underlying referenceable object of OraRef or underlying value instance of OraObject. Read-only at run time.
Individual attributes can be accessed by using a subscript or the name of the attribute. The OraObject or OraRef attribute index starts at 1.
The following example shows the use of the Count property. 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
'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 a address column from person_tab.
'Here Value property of OraField object returns Address OraObject
set Address = OraDynaset.Fields("Addr").Value
'access the attribute by dot notation
msgbox Address.Street
'access the attribute using '!' notation ( early binding application)
msgbox Address!Street
'access the attribute by index
msgbox Address(1)
'access the attribute by name
msgbox Address("Street")
'access all the attributes of Address OraObject in the dynaset
Do Until OraDynaset.EOF
For index = 1 To Address.Count
msgbox Address(index)
Next Index
OraDynaset.MoveNext
