Ruby can't connect MS access

[bigcatln]

hi, all
I am trying to connect MS access but it always give me an error

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `record' for main:Object>
D:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/testac2.rb:7

require 'win32ole' conn = WIN32OLE.new('adodb.connection') record = WIN32OLE.new('adodb.recordset') conn.open " DBQ=data.mdb; DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" sql = "SELECT username FROM user" record.open( sql, conn ) puts record("username")

It seem "recordset" is't supported by sketchup?, but when I use conn.Open(...) method , it also give me error.
Error: #<WIN32OLERuntimeError: D:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/access.rb:22:in `method_missing': Open
OLE error code:80040E14 in Microsoft JET Database Engine
FROM 子句语法错误。
HRESULT error code:0x80020009
>
It make me mad, can anyone help? thanks

record is a reference to an object. You are using it as a method - attempting to pass an argument to it.

Maybe line 7 should be:

puts record["username"]

I'm not familiar with accessing Access via Ruby, so I'm only guessing.

Of course with Ruby you don't need to guess at the type of record, or what methods it responds to. You can view the type of record using

p record.class

and view its methods using

p record.class.instance_methods(false)

yes you are right, I used ASP grammar here:(
but I find I also used wrong database driver provider, anyway ,I have worked it out.
