Hello everyone..! I am not a programmer or code writer.

I need to extract data from a database and format it as shown below:

VB

map_objects_by_name->
ECAD_NAME "L_21590X12065_7620_1000"
ECAD_ALT_NAME "INDUCTOR_L_21590X12065_7620_100"
ECAD_TYPE ""
MCAD_NAME "1800-0185-03"
MCAD_TYPE "part"
END

Any suggestions will be absolutely helpful...

Thanks.

Wow...well, if you're not a programmer or "code writer" then you're going to have some issues.

I would suggest first with reading up on VB.NET.
Secondly, you'll want to look at Overview of ADO.NET[^]

This has all of the information you would need to retrieve data out of a database.
