Querying a SQL Server DB and returning more than one column

Instead of recording a script, I am attempting to query a given database table myself. I am able, but I am only able to return records for one column. Is there a way I can append to what I have here in the while loop to add columns and view like a table in my log? My sample code:

function RunSimpleQuery()
{
var AConnection, RecSet;
//Create ADO connection
AConnection = ADO.CreateConnection();
AConnection.ConnectionString="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=*******;Initial Catalog=*******;Data Source=*******";
AConnection.Open();
RecSet = AConnection.Execute("SELECT * FROM someDB.SomeTable WHERE statuscode != 4");
Log.AppendFolder("This is a test");
RecSet.MoveFirst();
while(! RecSet.EOF )
{
Log.Message(RecSet.Fields.Item("statuscode").Value);
RecSet.MoveNext();
}
AConnection.Close();
}

 

 

Like I said, I have more than one column to return in results for log. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, there is a way to achieve this and see results in Your log results.

     

    1) Store data in an object, using a while loop or another simple solution in Your code.

    2) Create a html string using this object:

     

     

    let html = "<table style=\"width:100%\">";
    html += "<tr>";
    html += "<th>Your data</th>";
    for (let x = 1; x <= length; x++) {
      html += "<th>Value" + x + "</th>";
    }
    html += "</tr>";
    html += "<tr>";

    3) use these values in Your log report using

     

     

     

    var attr = Log.CreateNewAttributes();
    attr.ExtendedMessageAsPlainText = false;
      
    Log.Message("Check table Values", html, 300, attr);

     

    Check values in log and see the table in the "deails" tab.

    You're not going to be able to write out a table in your log.  However, you can write out the values to a file, e.g. a CSV file, and then attach the file to your log.
