Hi, I dont know if you have solved your problem yet, but this is possible in SQL. Is the customerID you mention an int type?

Hello,
The problem has been solved now.
There are 2 ways to do this either using the GUID, which will generate a randon number or setting the SQL datatype to an Int and setting its property to Identifier. I have done it using the latter.
Many thanks for all your help,
Steve

hi guys i've posted this on both the SQL and ASP.Net forums cause i ain't sure which one i should use so sorry about clogging up the message board.
Basicly i'm a newbie with ASP.net and i was looking for somw help with this query
i got a site and as part of the functionality i need to create a page where the user can create their own SQL statements to query a database (obc one thats connected to the web page). I got fairly basic knowledge when it comes to asp.net but i know how to access stored procedures and basic DB conectivity, but i've know idea how to do it when the user is meant to define the whole query from multiple tables (if possible) i know its asking a lot but any advice no matter how small would be appriciated...oh and while i remember its an Access DB im connecting to.

I'd suggest avoiding this approach at all costs, because it means your user can essentially enter *anything*, which makes it VERY insecure.

ok thats cool, could u suggest how it could be done anyway (its for a project you see and it has to allow this kind of reporting or something similar, the project will never go online anyway)

k any suggestions as to what i can do instead?

One system I built a couple of years ago gives very strict access to the account the ASP.NET web application was running in. It had SELECT access only on the tables is absolutely needed. Then the query was built using a standard strucutre (obviously this might be a little restrictive) whereby the user could only select valid table names and so on - no free text box. When all this information was posted back the details were checked again before permitting the query to run.

Hi there,
I've got a table which acts as a repository for searchable text data (lets call it MyInfoTable). Through a User Interface (Web) I'd like to let the user allow searching the Content field (type text) of MyInfoTable. The user can add various terms which are then used to build the query.
A couple of questions arise:
1. How can I build a injection-safe query which makes use of the WHERE clause and adds all the search terms into it. I'd like to do it through a stored proc but how can I specify a collection of params (one for each search term) to pass into it?
2. Is there a best-practise regarding searches on midium to large datasets? Things I have to take care of, etc.?
Sorry, if this questions are quite dumb, but I've never seen a fulltext search implemented and just trying to get started... 
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I think this may help you - I created this stored procedure for use in Northwind:
CREATE PROCEDURE SearchProducts (
@ProductName NVARCHAR(40) = null,
@UnitPrice MONEY = null,
@UnitsInStock SMALLINT = null
)
AS
SELECT *
FROM Products
WHERE (IsNull(@ProductName, ProductName) = ProductName) AND
(IsNull(@UnitPrice, UnitPrice) = UnitPrice) AND
(IsNull(@UnitsInStock, UnitsInStock) = UnitsInStock)
GO
Basically make sure you insert a null for all the parameters that you dont use.

The easiest way is to use Boolean logic in the where clause.
CREATE PROCEDURE ....
@LastName varchar(20),
@Department int
...
AS
SELECT @LastName = '%' + @LastName + '%'
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE (@LastName Is Null
OR table.LastName LIKE @LastName)
AND (@DepartmentID Is Null
OR @DepartmentID = table.DepartmentID)
...
... This should get you started with the concept. Either the parameter is Null or the paramenter must represent a column value.

I have this one question in regards to configuration file - what if I need to configure for MULTIPLE DATASOURCE?
Example:
<nhibernate>
<add
key="hibernate.connection.provider"
value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider"
/>
<add
key="hibernate.dialect"
value="NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect"
/>
<add
key="hibernate.connection.driver_class"
value="NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver"
/>
<add
key="hibernate.connection.connection_string"
value="Server=localhost;initial catalog=MyDataSrc01;uid=SomeUser; pwd=xxx;"
/>
<add
key="hibernate.connection.connection_string"
value="Server=localhost;initial catalog=MyDataSrc02;uid=SomeUser; pwd=xxx;"
/>
</nhibernate>
This obviously doesn't work. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I've set paper size.

not sure what you meant sayign "Print-Preview and Layout-Preview". I had the same problems with pages# when tried to render to html. i were googling but no success then I've resolved that by addind the "page n of m". i parse a resulting html content using the regex "page \d+ of \d+". found max(m) and then removed page # from the html

what is the syntax of the query which gets the member properties asscociated with every level which are then used as predicted attributes.
that's because i am building a decision tree on data coming out from cube.
If I write this Query
select{[Customers].[Name].members,[Customers].[Country].members,[Customers].[City].members}on columns,
{[Time].[Year].members}on rows
from sales
he gives me on columns all the names of customers and their cities and their countries and inside each cell their measures related to every year with some empty cells.
I want to get the result as 2 dimensional table to build the tree and can calculate the greatest gain to get the root and then trace the path from the root to reach the leafs which hold the classes or the categories predicted.
Please anyone who is interested in olap cubes and data mining algorthims help me.

Hello,
Is there a way to select a row from a table based on a minimum? Or what is the correct syntax?
This query returns two rows when I only need a row with the min column... 
select min(col1ID), col2ID, col3 from tbl where col2ID = 'xxxx' group by col2ID, col3
Thanks,
jay

Your GROUP BY clause causes more than one row to be returned. I am guessing that you want the row with the MIN(col1ID) with the other columns too. So, assuming that each col1ID value is unique then the following should work:
SELECT m.col1ID, t.col2ID, t.col3
FROM tbl AS t
INNER JOIN (SELECT MIN(col1ID) as col1ID
FROM tbl
WHERE col2ID = 'xxxx') AS m ON m.col1ID = t.col1ID
WHERE col2ID = 'xxxx'
Does this help?

Hi,
I've got a stored procedure which takes an int (@TopLimit) as a parameter. I'd later like to use this parameter to make a top selection, like this:
SELECT TOP @TopLimit NewsText, LanguageID FROM vl_News
But I get an Error on this one saying the syntax is wrong. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!

You cannot use a variable with the TOP statement. Bu you can try the folowing:
<br />
Set RouwCount @TopLimit<br />
SELECT NewsText, LanguageID FROM vl_News<br />

This is not permitted in SQL Server 2000, (it is available in SQL Server 2005).
Your Stored Procedure will need to build some dynamic SQL and execute it.
e.g.
EXEC('SELECT TOP '+CAST(@TopLimit AS VARCHAR(10))+' NewsText, LanguageID FROM vl_News');
Using Dynamic SQL like this has some security implications. For example, at the boundary of the EXEC the security is re-evaluated. Normally, you can grant execute permission to a stored procedure but not need to grant select/update/insert/delete permission to the tables the stored procedure uses because the security is evaluated when you start the stored procedure and it is not re-evaluated for each of the tables within it. With dynamic SQL execution the security is re-evaluated so you must have SELECT permission on the table in the EXEC statement.
