What information do you need? You already mention shop stores. This can be a table ,"Store".

What does a table represents?
If your table is "Store", you might have the address, phone, items to sell, and etc.

I think you need to look at what information that you want to store in the database. What sort of things do you want to store information about?
Here are some things to think about:
* I would guess that maybe "business" is going to be one of your tables.
* There are many types of business, so maybe your "business" table will have a type column to store types of business. And, a type table as well so you can group businesses by type - your business table would have a foreign key reference to the key of the type table.
* Businesses will have an address, so maybe you want some address columns.
* Perhaps a business has multiple addresses, so perhaps you want to create an "address" table that contains a foreign key to the "business" table instead.
However, I cannot tell you what tables or columns you need. If you want help answering that question then you will have to tell us what you want to store.

Seeing the previous thread reminded me of a problem I'll face in a few days. I'm using MSDE (later it will be scaled up to SQL Server, but not for the time being) and I'll need to schedule an automatic backup (and of course, be able to restore it.) 
I've seen BACKUP FROM and RESTORE TO T-SQL commands, but I tried them and couldn't restore the database.
Also, how should I schedule them? Just an SQL script? or should I write a little app that executes those commands using ADO.NET? Also, is it a must that they be run from the machine running the server?
Most of all, I'd like to know how it's done in the real world.
Any pointers or tips are appreciated!!

With SQL Server, you can create a maintence plan with the enterprise manager, the scheduling is handled by the SQL Server Agent Service. I'm not sure if MSDE has this same service, it might have?
Thats pretty much the process we've used to manage our databases.

AFAIK, SQL Server Agent is present in MSDE, but I think I'll have to create the backup plan by hand. I remember seeing an article in MSDN but I can't find it.

* Copy the backup file on to the other computer
* In Enterprise Manager, open the tree on to the SQL Server instance running on the other computer (you may have to register the other SQL Server with your local Enterprise Manager if it is not already there - alternatively go to the Enterprise Manager on the other computer)
* Right click on the databases folder icon in Enterprise manager and select All Tasks-->Restore Database

You went to Action/All Tasks/Backup Database to back it up, just underneath Backup Database, it says Restore Database.

However how can i know the details of the error such where it occurs in which line. I need something like i get in sql query analyzer.

I'm trying to bind a picture box to my access 2002 Db in vb.net
Here is my code
Dim b As Binding = New Binding("Image", dsComics, "comiclist.ComicCover")<br />
AddHandler b.Format, AddressOf ConvertPicture<br />
Me.picCover.DataBindings.Add(b)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Public Sub ConvertPicture(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As ConvertEventArgs)<br />
Dim b() As Byte = e.Value<br />
Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream<br />
ms.Write(b, 0, b.Length)<br />
Dim bmp As Bitmap = New Bitmap(ms)<br />
ms.Close()<br />
e.Value = bmp<br />
<br />
<br />
End Sub
The line in bold is where it bombs, any ideas

What is the error message ?

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in system.drawing.dll

Are you sure it doesn't bomb on ms.Close().
The docs for the Bitmap(Stream stream) constructor say:
You must keep the stream open for the lifetime of the Bitmap object.

It may bomb there as well but I haven't gotten that far

Hello,
I have the following stored procedure:
DECLARE @@Cuenta int;
SELECT @@Cuenta = COUNT(*) FROM Recibos_Reimpresiones GROUP BY ID_recibo HAVING (ID_recibo = @ID_recibo);
SET @@Cuenta = @@Cuenta + 1;
INSERT INTO dbo.Recibos_Reimpresiones (ID_recibo, Reimpresion, ID_sesion, FechaHora)
VALUES (@ID_recibo, @@Cuenta, @ID_sesion, GETDATE())
UPDATE Recibos
SET Reimpresiones = (@@Cuenta)
WHERE (ID_recibo = @ID_recibo)Basically what it's trying to do is to get the number of reprintings from the Recibos_Reimpresiones table. If should contain no rows (for a receipt) if it has only been printed once.
When I try to reprint a receipt, a record should be added to this table, stating the number of receipt, and the reprinting number (the first reprinting being one.) Also, the reprint count in the receipt record in Recibos should be updated.
But when I try to run this stored procedure, I get an error saying that the Reimpresion field of the Recibos_Reimpresiones table does not allow NULLs and that the record could not be inserted. That means that @@Cuenta is NULL, and it should be an integer.
So, anyone knows what's happening here? Does COUNT(*) return NULL instead of 0 if no records are present? Ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks!

You're assuming too much here. I'd be running the first two lines, and then see what your count value is. No, COUNT does not return NULL for 0. Figure out what the count value is, then figure out what the value of your variable is ( I don't see how they could differ ), then keep adding a line at a time, and check to see what each line is doing.

Actually it was returning NULL. So, I fixed it adding this:
IF @@Cuenta IS NULL
SET @@Cuenta = 0;
SET @@Cuenta = @@Cuenta + 1;and now everything works as expected.
At the time I had not a single record in the table, but now that I have some records, I try with a receipt number that has not been reprinted, and it still returns NULL.

This looks a bit odd to me. When looking for a single return value with an aggregate I've never used a GROUP BY because that is likely to return multiple values. Of course, the HAVING clause will reduce that back to one or zero results.
It would be better to say:
SELECT @@Cuenta = COUNT(*)
FROM Recibos_Reimpresiones
WHERE ID_recibo = @ID_recibo because this is guaranteed to return exactly one result every time, even if there are no records. This would mean that you could get rid of your IF statement that checks if @Cuenta is NULL
Does this help?
