[DB-SIG] experimentation with access using win32com.client

[kromag@nsacom.net]

Hi all,

*NEWBIE ALERT*

I have been having some fun with win32com.client and access 7 using the dandy 
examples at http://starship.python.net/crew/bwilk/access.html.

Everything seems crystal clear to me for writing to the database. The weird 
thing is, I can't seam to get a human-readable query. I have tried the 
following:

>>> import win32com.client
>>> engine=win32com.client.Dispatch("DAO.DBEngine.35")
>>> db=engine.OpenDatabase("\windows\desktop\db2.mdb")
>>> rs=db.OpenRecordset("select beans from food where corn='39114'")
## I know the value exists!
>>> rs
<COMObject OpenRecordset>

Hrm. Now shouldn't this display the output from my query? I have done similar 
stuff with postgresql with success (unless I am hallucinating- not an 
unwarranted assumption....) As I recall, when performing a similar act using 
pygresql and postgres in IDLE on Linux, I could not get the actual output of 
the query, only a <stuff> type message.

I am sure I am missing something obvious! :-/

Thanks!
