I never use inline SQL statements. They may be quicker to code, but the advantages of using stored procedures (maintainability, robustness, security) more than outweigh the extra code overhead.

I've been through this discussion a few times with different people and I think that it's more of a religious type decision than anything else. We may just have to agree to differ.

Thanks Paddy.
I need to return some values and use them so I think the function would be best, but there seems to be some debate here if it can be achieved.
Excuse my ignorance but my previous coding was for MSAcess so I"m trying to learn SQL server issues, and move from VBA to VB.NET.
I have put in the SELECT statement you sugessted but the compiler tells me "Select CASE must end with a matching END SELECT", and hovering over FROM in the statement gives me "name not declared" . Obviously I need more code to setup the SQL statement - could you kindly give me an example please.
Many thanks
Mark

Do you have a case statement in your sql somewhere?
|
|
|

No, and I don't want to either. It issues these errors when I hover over the "select fontname, fontsize....."
In the old VBA I used to call the functions like:
Dim Fontsize as integer
fontsize = GetFontSize(strCurrentUser)
----
Function GetFontSize(CurentUser as string) as Integer
......
......
-----
This meant I was able to use a single like to get my values and use them in lots of places easily. When I read I should store these server-side I was very happy. I just need to call the function and return it to my current sub easily without having to do too much coding to setup and call the function otherwise it defeats the purpose
FYI I spent all weekend playing with the new error provider - very nice but it took me the longest time to work it out nicely....MS documentation is horrible....I found Google far better than MS own doccu...

Is this an Access database?
Paul
|
|
|
|
|
yes this an Access database .
|
|
|
|
|
A connection string for an Access database requires the physical path to the database file to be specified.
Paul

Problem is that website host in another server .so we donot know physical path of mdb .
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think there is an easy solution to your problem.
You should probably consider migrating your database to SQL Server or something similar.

Thanks but web Aplication running now so it is not possible .

How come you don't know the physical path to the webserver? Is it not on your network?
Do you need access to all the data in this database file? If you only need a small subset, you could create a couple of webservices to return the data you require, although this becomes very cumbersome for more than a couple of queries.

Thanks for reply
it is not on your network ,it is another server not on my network.I know Ip of this server only and name of mdb file . we want to fetch subset of all tables userwise data .
|
|
|
|
|
So it's on another network that you don't have direct access to? I don't think you will be able to directly access this database.
|
|
|
|
|
They also provide one usename with full access on this mdb then it is possible to access or not ?
Manu
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but if you can't actually access the network to get to the mdb file to try and login to the DB with the provided username, it's not really going to help you, is it?

INSERT PCON_B.dbo.TABLE1<br />
select * from PCON_A.dbo.TABLE1<br />
<br />
or even
<br />
<br />
truncate table PCON_A.dbo.TABLE1<br />
<br />
INSERT PCON_B.dbo.TABLE1<br />
select * from PCON_A.dbo.TABLE1<br />

You could consider storing a dictionary of words in your database and using the SOUNDEX function to test for phonetic similarity.
Information on SOUNDEX can be found here.
