Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

I am looking for methodologies or strategy or process that makes database version control possible. Kindly share what you follow in your projects
|
|
|
|

One way to approach this is to have a create a baseline set of scripts which created all of your DB objects: Tables, Indexes, Triggers, Stored Proc, etc. Check those scripts into a version control system () along with your source code. (Make a folder called "SQL" or something)
As you revise your application, create ALTER scripts for the DB objects (Tables, Indexes, Triggers, Stored Proc, etc) which will take the database from State A to State B.
Use some type of naming convention which will show the progress from one version to another.
"ALTER_tables_1.0.0_to_1.0.1"
When you get to a major release of the software, such as v2.0.0, then Re-Create the CREATE DB object scripts which will include all of your ALTER scripts; this way you don't have to keep rolling up schema changes.
ALSO: Take into consideration that you may need Data Manipulation scripts to "seed" some of your tables with basic data. Handle those scripts with something like ALTER_Data_1.0.0_to_1.0.1
Just giving you some ideas, not completely thought out, but I remember doing something like on previous projects.
BTW: I use Subversion / SVN / Tortoise as version control for myself.

Please can someone help me develop a simple database using Microsoft access? I am a beginner but willing to learn Microsoft access with help from someone.
I am using excel based database but now I really want to a access based database.
Thank you

Take a look through these and see if there is a structure that meets your needs. http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/[^]
Take note of the primary (PK) and foreign keys (FK) used to normalise the data.

Hi,
I have been trying to add some data to a table we get which is sometimes incomplete
This is the SQL command that is used to fill in a "shipment_date"
UPDATE IGNORE myTable
SET Shipment_Date = CONCAT(LEFT(Sales_Order_Ship_Date,4), "-",
MID(Sales_Order_Ship_Date, 2, 2), "-",
RIGHT(Sales_Order_Ship_Date, 2) );
In this case Shipment_date is an actual DATE data type whereas the Sales_Order_Ship_Date is a VARCHAR(42) data type.
It works really well on the condition that the original string data represents a date of at least 2010-01-01. The string data is formatted as follows: YYYYMMDD so 2010-01-01 is 20100101 in the string version. It converts perfectly to 2010-01-01 and the same is true for later dates. Any string representing a date before 2010-01-01 though comes out as 0000-00-00.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, MID('20091231',2,2) is '00'
MID is used like: MID( string, start_position, length) where start position is one based, not zero based.
So try using MID(Sales_Order_Ship_Date,5,2) instead.

Your answer was right on the mark, thanks a lot for that. 
I first tried it on MySQL Tryit Editor v1.0[^] and it worked perfectly there.
Then I corrected my colleague's original code as you described and sure enough it now works exactly as expected.
Why it ended up producing 0000-00-00 is still a mystery but once the dissection of the string is done properly it now accepts any date

Just use the CONVERT function,
SELECT CONVERT(Sales_Order_Ship_Date , Date);

I'm trying to add both text and a picture filename to an Access database. The actual .jpg file is stored separately in another folder. I want to use a File control in classic ASP to do this. If I create a page for the text fields and a separate page for the File control, everything works fine but the users are confused by having to go to two pages.
Ideally, they would use the Browse button of the File control to select their picture then the picture's filename would be passed down to the "ImageLink" field in the database Insert SQL command. Any ideas?
Here's my two sections of code:
<form action="marketplaceentryadd.asp" method="post" >
<!--
<table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=1>
<tr><td size="110"><font color="#FFFFFF">Country:<br />
</font></td><td><input name="txtCountry" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">Description:<br />(255 char. max)
</font></td><td><input type="text" name="txtDescription" textmode="multiline" maxlength="255" size="50"/></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">Price:<br/>
Numbers only with optional decimal point
</font></td><td><input name="txtPrice" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">Your Name:<br />
</font></td><td><input name="txtSeller" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">Contact Info:<br />
(255 char. max)
</font></td><td><input name="txtContactInfo" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">More Info:<br />
(255 char. max)
</font></td><td><input name="txtMoreInfo" type="text" size="50" maxlength="255" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color="#FFFFFF">Picture Filename:<br/>Do not include spaces in the filename<br/>Be sure to include extension (.jpg)</font></td><td><input name="txtImagelink" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="Add Item" />
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Second page code:
Please select picture to be saved for this item:<br/><br/>
<FORM method="post" encType="multipart/form-data" action="ToFileSystem.asp">
<INPUT type="File" name="File1"><br/><br/>
<INPUT type="Submit" value="Upload Picture">
</FORM>

Why are you asking the user for a filename when all you need is the upload selector? Once the image is uploaded to the server you have the filename which you can then add to your database.

Consider the relation R(A,B,C,D) with FDs AB -> C, C -> D, D ->A. What is the 3NF status of R.
1.
R is in BCNF already.
2.
R is not in BCNF. It must be divided into R1(A,C,E) with FDs A -> C, C -> E, and R2(B,D,F) with FDs B -> D, D -> F.
3.
R is not in BCNF. It must be divided into R1(C,E) with FDs C -> E, R2(D,F) with FDs D -> F and R3(A,B).
4.
R is not in BCNF. It must be divided into R1(A,C,E) with FDs A -> C, C -> E, R2(B,D,F) with FDs B -> D, D -> F, and R

We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.
So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
Consider this: just posting your homework question and hoping somebody will give you the answer so you can just tick a multiple choice box is futile. You have no idea if the answer you're given is right or wildly wrong ... and unless you actually learn this stuff you will have no idea at all!

Now I feel sorry for missing this question. Normalization is one of the things you have to learn, and not just for databases. It will give you more insight into data. Let me stress that again, you want to master this, it is what makes a master.
Can you give me a real life analogy for your abstract question? Otherwise, I'd just have to reply with the rules which you already know.
And BCNF comes after 3NF; if it in 3NF, it not guaranteed to be BCNF, so answer one falls. Leaves you with three. Also, 3NF and BCNF rather close - if you can answer it, you master it.

Hi,
I've install SQL Server Express 2014 named instance with mixed mode authentication.
one more SQL Server 2005 version installed with default instance and TCP port has been assigned 1433.
following error occurredServer Name: .\sqlexpress
Error Number: 18456
Severity: 14
State: 1
Line Number: 65536 -I want to connect locally (with dot) but not able to connect, I also want to connect from outside network
-with static IP still getting the same problem.
following changes I've done
-remove dynamic TCP port from configuration manager ipall
-instead of dynamic port I've place static tcp port 1438 and 1440 both are listening
-try 1434 TCP port but SQL service not able start so I've change into 1438 and 1440.
-and same has been configured from firewall inbound and outbound rule.
--also tried through dbeaver to make connection but following error occurredSQLEXPRESS,1438 failed. Error: "java.net.UnknownHostException: 103.87.24.38:3390: invalid IPv6 address". Verify the server and instance names and check that no firewall is blocking UDP traffic to port 1434. For SQL Server 2005 or later, verify that the SQL Server Browser Service is running on the host.

Is there any known tool for creating a schema (database diagram) (ER) back from the SQLite DB by itself? (Want to avoid creating DB schema from scratch and I already have the database with me)
Think SchemaSky is one of it but that needs a lot of work to setup.

If you mean just to print the CREATE statements, then you can use the sqlite3 command line program.
|
|
|
|

Not the statements. That was easy.
I am talking of Database diagram. Sorry for confusion.
