Here's a VBA app that uses Database abstraction with google apps script via the DataHandler library. You need to download the latest version of the dbAbstraction.xlsm workbook from Downloads. Note that a Google Script Webapp is providing the gateway from your VBA app to each of these database back ends.
It's made up of these components
Let's get into the code - it's self explanatory, but How to use cJobject and How to use cDataSet will explain the VBA libraries in use here.
Using this you can read, write and query a variety of databases directly from your VBA code. This simple example does all of the following
Here's the code. It's in the dbAbstraction.xlsm workbook, which also contains all the libraries you'll need. see Downloads.
and here are the results in their respective homes.
