vb + sql (ADO)

[saprouzy]

Hey there,

i have a question concerning ADO programming in VB

if i have this line of code:

myDB.execute "update tableX set values x=1 , y  = 2 where some condition", RecordsAffected

this would return the records affected by the query in the variable RecordsAffected.

my question is, if i don't put the parameter RecordsAffected , does the call still returns the that number?

to be more clear in context:

i have a remote server and i want to minmize the traffic as much as i can, so if by removing RecordsAffected i don't get a repsonse back again i would remove it, if the response is returned even if it's removed i'll keep it.

thanks.
