Hi
Can anyone tell is it possible use/store data to a sql database without having
database server running itself. I mean do you need to have sql installed
onto your machine if you want to use application program that stores/retrieves data from databases.
Or is just driver enough?
For example.
I made an application program that has a GUI, connects to sql database file.
So is it enough to install to client machine 1-)Exe 2-)Database Driver 3-)Database file(for example .mdb) to make it run correctly (no connection to server)?
Thanks...

as a stand alone program? the program was a database attached? yes
if you have to connect the a database, the server as to be on.

SQL Server needs to be running somewhere, not just exist as an MDB file. If you are embedding a SQL Express file then (I think) it need to be installed. You should have 2 deployment packages, 1 for the DB and 1 for the app.

The functionality you described is possible with SQL Server Compact Edition. It needs no installing and the database is included in to the project and deployed with it.
However in CE you have few restrictions including:
- only one user can use it (not suitable for multi-user environments)
- no locking is possible
Hope this helps,
Mika

I understand for performance reasons, that the section in bold can be rewritten using a join, can anyone help me with the syntax. I am trying to select the most recent employee record where effective_date <= payperiod_enddate.
Thanks
select
t1.department,
t2.status,
t3.date_key as paycheck_date_key,
t4.date_key as start_date_key,
t5.date_key as end_date_key,
(select top 1 employee_key from d_employee where (employee_id = EEID and employee_number = EmpNum) and
(CAST(FLOOR( CAST( effective_date as float ) )as datetime) <= PeriodEndDate) order by effective_date desc) as employee_key,
t6.payment_type_key as payment_type_key,
from tblDetail t1
inner join tblHeader t2
left join d_date t3 on isnull(t2.PayDate, '01/01/1900') = t3.the_date
left join d_date t4 on isnull(t2.PeriodStartDate, '01/01/1900') = t4.the_date
left join d_date t5 on isnull(t2.PeriodEndDate, '01/01/1900') = t5.the_date
on t1.checkID = t2.checkID
left join d_PAYMENT_TYPE t6 on isnull(t1.PehEarnCode, '-999') = t6.payment_type_code

Hi,
How would I be able to select all columns (using T-SQL) from the following table where 'id' is unique and 'Date Updated' is the latest date.
table: demo
id Date Updated Rest of table ...
_____________ ______________________ __________________
A/VBRA-100 19/06/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-100 26/06/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-100 04/07/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-101 24/01/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-101 13/02/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-101 03/03/2008 00:00:00 More Data
....
Should Output:
id Date Updated Rest of table ...
_____________ ______________________ __________________
A/VBRA-100 04/07/2008 00:00:00 More Data
A/VBRA-101 03/03/2008 00:00:00 More Data
...

Start off with a query to get the distinct ID and latest date updated. something along the lines of
SELECT id, MAX(DateUpdated)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY ID
then use the result in a subquery to get the rest of the datya from that row
SELECT id, DateUpdated,OtherColumns
FROM MyTable
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT id, MAX(DateUpdated) as MostRecentlyUpdated
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY ID
) MostRecentMyTable
ON MyTable.Id = MostRecentMyTable.id
AND MyTable.DateUpdated = MostRecentMyTable.MostRecentlyUpdated

Another way:
<br />
select distinct id,<br />
(select top 1 t1.dateupdated from MyTable as t1 where t1.id = MyTable.id order by t1.dateupdated asc),<br />
restoftable from MyTable

Except if "restoftable" varies among the rows you now have repeats of the same id.

Hi,
Is it possible to get all the database names through a query(or any other way)those are present in SQL Server?

Get to know your sys? tables
Select DBID ,Name From sysdatabases Order By name

Either use sp_helpdb pprocedure or query master..sysdatabases.

What have you tried so far? If you can post the query that you now have, and also tell us where you are stuck, people here will be more than willing to try and help you.

SELECT
[AIMS_Library.Reck].Reck_Code + ' ' + [AIMS_Library.Reck].Shelf_Code AS [Reck & Shelf],
[AIMS_Library.Category].Category_Name,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].Qty,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].ISBN,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].BookTitle,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].Author,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].Publisher,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].Edition,
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].YearPublished
FROM
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails], [AIMS_Library.Category], [AIMS_Library.Reck]
where
[AIMS_Library.Reck].reck_id = [AIMS_Library.BookDetails].reck_id
and
[AIMS_Library.Category].category_id = [AIMS_Library.BookDetails].category_id
and
[AIMS_Library.BookDetails].author = 'abc' or [AIMS_Library.BookDetails].publisher = 'xyz'
the last line thats where i stuck, when from my c# form users will try to search books. Is there any 1 query solution or i have to write multiple queries?
Thanks in advance.

One way to solve this would be to dynamicallyl create the query based on user selection... keep the basic query (including fields needed and joins) a constant, and add to the query string for each selection made.
So, if user has selected author 'xyz' and publisher 'abc'
qry = [basic query here, including the joins]
if [author selected] then qry = constant + " and author=" + selected author
if [publisher selected] then qry = constant + " and publisher=" + selected publisher
... and so on
You might want to look into creating parameters for your SQL query, to prevent injection attacks.

What ChandraRam suggested is a good way to go.
However, also notice that you may have a potential problem in your query. Since you have an OR in the middle of the conditions, but no parenthesis used the result may be unexpected and in your example lead to cartesian product.

I believe that sp_filestream_configure is not correct. Instead you should use sp_configure and option filestream_access_level (value 0-2).
This enables filestream accessing for the instance.

Hi Guys, I'm totally new to Crystal reports and this problem has me stumped.
Here it is, lets say i have a table of employees this table has the departments they work in too and i want to display the number of employees in each department at the end of the report(in the page footer)
Here is what i did so far
Added a new group and grouped the records according to the Department name
This gives me the total of the employees in that department but it appears within the table i created
I want these to move in to the page footer
If i do move it to the page footer i get the total of only one group
Been banging my head against this for the past couple of days now. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious. Do i need a formula Field???
Also if i still want the group totals but i need the records sorted on another field is that possible?

A couple of things...
0) End of report != Page footer
1) Are you saying you want the information to appear only at the end of the report, or should it appear at the end of every page?
2) If at the end of every page, what if the detail section for a department requires more than one page? What should be printed at the end of the first page then?
3) If at the end of the report (Report footer), do you want just a list of the data grouped by departments? If yes, why don't you create a sub-report containing just the grouped information and stick it in the Report footer? This way, you can have your main report ordered any other way you need too...
