Do you mean the SQL code behind the queries or do you mean VB6 functions?

Tool to convert functions in MS Access to oracle pl/sql procedure
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either using SQL or C#/ADO.NET is there a way for me to "probe" a stored procedure to return the names of its input parameters to my code?
Thanks.

In Sql Server theres atleast 2 different ways to achive this 
|
|
|
|

I assume your talking about sql server?
If it's 2005 you want to use the System Views:

If it's 2000 you want the system tables:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/systables.mspx[^]
Unfortunatly I dont have a link handy on how to use them, but they are pretty straight forward and will provide all you need 
Edit: just spotted this article. It looks old but relivent:

Edit: I also forgot to tell you about DMO and SMO 
SMO (Sql Management Objects) in 2005, is a set of objects you can use in .Net that retrive a lot of information about Sql Server and allows you to perform admin operations. They definatly allow you to list the stored procs and all the details about them. A little warning when used with a complex database the SMO's can require a fair bit of tweaking to perform well but it's well worth it if you need that much control.
DMO is similar and used in 2000. I've never personally used DMO so you'dh ave to look into what it can achive.

I'm not sure I can think of a valid business case as to why you'd want to do that. From a programmatic perspective, you'd still need the type and, depending upon the type, the size of the field. If you know both sides of the system, there are myriad better methods to perform what you're asking.

Thanks guys I managed to do it in with .NET by using SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters(MySqlCommand)
It was used to create a generic method to loop through values from a DTO and place them into input parameters for a given Stored procedure on the mapper layer of our code. If I cache the results (for speed) it saves us lots of time rewriting very similar stuff inside each mapper to take the dto and asign its values to known paramaters in different procedures.
So what i have is
DataAdapter myMethod(string SProcName, DTOType inputParamsDTO)
{
DataAdapter da = new DataAdapter.
[psudo] open connection to sql
SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters(SProcName)
[psudo] loop
[psudo] if SProcName.Param.Direction == input OR input/Output
[psudo] if inputParamsDTO.Tables[0].Rows[0][i].Contains(SProcName.Param[i].ParamaterName)
[psudo] SProcName.Param[i] = inputParamsDTO.Tables[0].Rows[0]["SProcName.Param[i].ParamaterName"]
[psudo] end loop
[psudo] close connection to sql
[psudo] return da
}
So we pass it a SProc and a DTO (or dataset) and it gives us back a data adapter we can just calla Fill() on.
But it needs to cache some where to stop excessive round trips

Microsft provide a class to do just this - SQLHelperParameterCache as part of its SQLHelper class as part of its Data Access Application Block. I don't have any links to hand, but google is your friend.

Hi all,
I am installing SQL Server 2005 with 2000 already installed. After I go through the whole setup process now with several instances created I can't launch the program from the strt menu. It only gives me the 'configuration tools' option.
Also I think 2000 was installed as a local user but now I am installing from a domain account.
What's going on here, should I install sql using the domain account even though I only plan to use it locally?
Thanx,
Kiefie

You should install Sql Server under a special user acount which you make to only have the needed permissions, this secures it incase it is compramised.
Which edition of Sql Server 2000 are you installing? When you install it is there an option to install the Enterprise Manager and other tools? Thats what you use for managing the server.

I'm installing sql server 2005 and already have 2000 installed. That's my problem. I can install sql server 2005 but afterwards there is no sql server management studio option in the start menu, only 'sql server 2005 -> Configuration Tools'.

It is the full version (Enterprise) I believe.
Another fellow developer here also tried it and got the same results - no Management Studio.
I just started at this company and am trying to get my pc setup...

SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) should be under:
Workstation Components, Books Online, and Development Tools
in the installation.
|
|
|
|
|
I may have found the cause and the solution, trying it now...
Cause : SQL 2000 was installed and then Visual Studio 2005, with VS 2005 it installs 'sql Express' so when you install sql 2005 it sees it as already installed and therefore does not update the start menu shortcuts.
Solution : Uninstall sql Express then re-install 2005.

I execute an sql-query from code (C#) via OleDb to an Access database.
But one of the values pasted in the query has a ' character resulting in an error.
How can you escape that character in the query?
eg. SELECT * from A_Communes where label_d like 'BRAINE-L'ALLEUD%';
I googled for it, but most results are for Oracle which don't seem to work for Access.
thanks.

You should use sqlparameters as they will help you to avoid issues with escape characters and it will protect you from sql injections.
