Cool!! 
I tweaked it a bit, and it worked!
I didn't know updates with joins existed. But now I'll have a new trick!! I know cursors are not efficient, but this is a once in a lifetime update.
So, basically it's UPDATE table_to_update SET column = new_value FROM table_to_update like in a SELECT? This query should UPDATE all rows in the table. And if I add an INNER JOIN there, then the UPDATE will only work on the rows that would result from the same SELECT FROM statement?
Thanks!!

Yep.
The only limitation you need to remember is that UPDATE can only update 1 (one) table at a time (I'll be glad if somebody proves me wrong).
Therefore:
UPDATE <table1><br />
SET <specify table1 columns to update from values in all other tables specified below><br />
FROM <tables with JOIN and WHERE conditions>
Just for your information, do you know that you can also do
INSERT INTO (<columns>)<br />
(<br />
SELECT <columns><br />
FROM <tables><br />
)

Yes. I didn't but sometime ago someone taught me about it here (was it you maybe? or Colin?) and a few weeks ago I answered a question here with that INSERT INTO... SELECT. He didn't believe me until I said, "well, go and try it" and he was amazed!
SQL sometimes is so cool!

Does anyone maybe know how I can open a sql server 2005 database in sql server 2000? I can't use "view all rows" in 2005, and need to use 2000 from now on.
Thanks

"Open Table" I believe is the equivalent menu option in SQL Server 2005

Hello!
I don't know how to connect to SqlServer when this server is not in the localmachine.
I'm using VB.Net and the server can only be joined on the internet.
My connect string looks this :
Cnx.ConnectionString = "Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=name_of_my_base; Data Source=name_of_my_machine"
The computer where the server is running can be reached by a domaine name
Thank you for your help (and sorry for my bad english)

Why is the data source the name of your machine?? It should be pointing to the server.

Have you created the DSN name in your local machine pointing to the server that matches with the connection string?
Depending on the bindings that you are using you'll need to create it based on ODBC, ADO, ...

I've never tried to get data directly from Internet with that method  but it should work. Please, let me know if it works well using a DSN pointing to an Internet data server.

I've always used a server (IIS[^]) that must have a DSN created pointing to the database. The connection string must specify the provider as "MS Remote":
set conn1 = new Connection
conn1.Open "Provider=MS Remote;" _
& "Remote Provider=MSDataShape;" _
& "Remote Server=http://www.domain_you_want.com;" _
& "Data Source=DNS_YOu_Specified;" _
& "User Id=User; Password=pwd;"

Hi,
my work hierarchy is as follows.
sqlStr = "select * from voucherTransaction where CompanyCode='" & compCode & _
"' and vtCode='" & mcmbVoucherType.SelectedItem.col1 & "' and
voucherNo=" & txtVoucherNo.Text
parameter.Value = sql // sqlCommand parameter object
davd.SelectCommand = cmd // cmd is sqlCommand and davd is sqlDataAdapter object
davd.Fill(dsvd, "voucherDetail") // dsvd is DataSet
davd.Dispose()
//after populating dataSet i need to delete a specific row . and the deletion
code is
dsvd.Tables("voucherDetail").Rows.RemoveAt(lastRow)//lastrow is secific row no
dsvd.Tables("voucherDetail").AcceptChanges()
//now i need to add new row as
dsvd.Tables("voucherDetail").Rows.Add(drow) // drow is DataRow
//now updating the DataSet as follows
sqlStr = "select * from voucherTransaction where CompanyCode='" & compCode & _
"' and vtCode='" & mcmbVoucherType.SelectedItem.col1 & "' and
voucherNo=" & txtVoucherNo.Text
parameter.Value = sqlStr
davd.SelectCommand = cmd
Dim cbvd As New SqlCommandBuilder(davd)
davd.Update(dsvd.Tables("voucherDetail"))
davd.Dispose()
Now the error is " can't insert the duplicate key value"
I have displayed the DataSet table (voucherDetail),there isn't any duplicate value but its showing error for that specific row because its not deleting from the database.
Please help me immediately if u have some suggestions

I'd like to know your opinions, experience and feelings about these DBs:
1. MSDE
2. PostgreSql
3. MySql
Thanks,
Marc Soleda.

1. MSDE:
I did not use MSDE (but used MS SQL Server 2000)
It's free with many features (stored procedures/UDF/ocnstraints/triggers/some types of replication) you can consider it a limited SQL Server version regarding performance.
2. PostgreSql:
I did not use it either..But it's free,open source and reliable and semi full featured.
3. MySql:
I used it and I like it..It's free,open source,very fast,and widly used on the internet.But it's features are less complete compared to the previous DBMSs.
the decision of using one against the others depends on the project you make and your previous knowledge.

Hi all,
Facing small problem.
I have one field of type SmallDateTime in SQL Server table and contains both date and time as a data. I want to get all records of specific date irrespective of time and i given following query like
select firstname,paiddate from tbluser where paiddate = '24-mar-2005'
is not showing any record because time part is also there.
so what is the standard method to get all records of a particular date ignoring time part (not by using string functions like substring or left etc)
Thanks for reply.

Hi, this is how I do it:
SELECT * FROM FOO
WHERE BAR >= '2005-02-20' AND BAR < DATEADD(D, 1, '2005-02-20')
Hope this helps.
|

|
|

select firstname,paiddate from tbluser where datediff(day,paiddate,'24-mar-2005')=0

Dear Friends,
I have and XML File and am binding that xml file to a datagrid using dataview with a check box to select the row to update or delete.
In the event of check box I used to find row from dataview using sort property and find() method.
But I got the row number more than one than the actual one.
e.g. when I got rowno = 1 as a result of find method, in dataview that row is actually at postition 0. so every time next row of the actual row is deleted or modified.
So if anyone have the solution of this then plz send it to me quickly .
Thanking u in advance

How have you tried? Via "tools > security > set password"?

Yes, but it only set the database password but what is the login?
|
|
|
|

If you don't have any other user activated it'd be "admin"

I am trying to write a code for a web site using C# to pass parameters from from1.aspx to a class1.cls
and then pass it again to another cls then execute it in a third class to added to stored procedure in Sql server.
example: user insert first name in front end form1.aspx. then firstname=txtfirstname.Text in form1.cs then pass firstname parameter to another class called member.cls.
and then pass again to third class called EXECUTE.cs class. to insert the record to stored procedure in Sql Database.
my problem is between member.cls and execute.cls
Thanks.

I assume these are cs, not cls files ?
Their names don't really matter, but it all sounds very convoluted. What's the problem you're having ? You just want to pass parameters from class to class ? If you posted some code, perhaps we could get an idea of what's going on ? Is all this stuff irrelevant, and your problem is just how to call a stored proc from C# ? If so, I answered that question below earlier today.

Hello,
I'm planning to build a small commercial software for personal use, using C# Windows Forms. What are available database systems that will suit my need? I only know of MS Access but I'm not sure how good it'll work with ADO.NET.
What choices do I have? Please share your ideas.
Thanks a lot.
