BTW, that is EXACTLY the problem! Except its not a constraint violation, but a "Cannot insert the value NULL into column..." error.
[edit]erm, ok, that is a constraint violation. What am I thinking![/edit]
Thank you very much!
Now, erm...how does one set this programatically in ADO.NET?

sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() whith "SET XACT_ABORT ON" as the SQL text should work. Not sure if the setting persists beyond the life of the connection, but I wouldn't plan on it.

Tried that. It doesn't seem to. Works fine in Query Analyzer, just not running it from code. Hmmm...

Possibly you need "Enlist = true" in your connection string. Connection pooling may be messing with you...
Also, you would need to "SET XACT_ABORT ON" before beginning the transaction.

Hi Rob,
OK, it's probably working. I just put debug statements around the open/close/commit/rollback code, and it's committing the transaction when it shouldn't. So now it's my bug!
Thank you very much for your help. I'd never have found this otherwise!

Here is an example of transactional error handling that might help you out.
You can use this in a stored procedure, which is the only way you should update a database anyway.
<br />
Declare @intErrorCode int<br />
select @intErrorCode = @@Error<br />
<br />
begin transaction<br />
<br />
If @intErrorCode = 0<br />
begin<br />
-- insert SQL Statement<br />
set @intErrorCode = @@Error<br />
end<br />
<br />
If @intErrorCode = 0<br />
begin<br />
-- insert another SQL Statement<br />
set @intErrorCode = @@Error<br />
end<br />
<br />
<br />
IF @Error = 0<br />
commit transaction<br />
else<br />
rollback transaction<br />
return @Error

Thanks for the code snippet.

Why?
BTW, in our application, the SQL is being generated dynamically from the schema information and the dirty fields. So SP's are pretty much out of the question.

There are three reasons only to use stored procs.
#1 Security. You can grant users the ability to update records without having permissions to the table. It prevents users from connecting to your database from say access to update the tables.
#2 Prevents SQL Injection attacks.
#3 Performance is improved because the queries' execution plans are cached on the server.
If you have to write out your sql commands because you are dynamically generating sql statements then so be it, but that sounds hairy to me.

In our system, the user doesn't have direct access to the database. All activity between the client and the server (not the DB server, but the application server) is secured, and only the application server on the remote machine has access to the DB.

My understanding is that SQL injection attacks can be prevented by using parameters.

My understanding is that SQL Server caches execution plans, regardless of whether they're from SP's or not.

Not at all. It's quite robust.

I am having a hard time using a correlated subquery. I have a table
id - int (identity)
ForwardDate - datetime
EffectiveDate - datetime
Price - float
I am trying to return the record for each ForwardDate where the EffectiveDate is equal to the max(EffectiveDate) for that particular ForwardDate. (There are many different ForwardDate's, each with a different max(EffectiveDate)) I tried many variations of this:
SELECT ForwardDate, EffectiveDate, Value
FROM dbo.ArchiveForward f1
WHERE (EffectiveDate = (SELECT MAX(f2.EffectiveDate)
FROM dbo.ArchiveForward f2
WHERE f1.ForwardDate = f2.ForwardDate))
ORDER BY ForwardDate
but all it does is return the values for those records where EffectiveDate is equal to the max(EffectiveDate) for the entire table.
What am I missing?
Thx
Mark

This should do the trick
SELECT f1.ForwardDate, f1.EffectiveDate, f1.Value
from dbo.ArchiveForward f1 join
(select ForwardDate, max(EffectiveDate) as EffectiveDate
from dbo.ArchiveForward group by ForwardDate) A
on (f1.ForwardDate = A.ForwardDate and f1.EffectiveDate = a.EffectiveDate)

Hi, I hope someone can come up with an explanation to this.
In order to populate my DB with ramdom records I execute this code:
(Parameters are generated using Randomize and a loop calls this function)
Private Function Insert_FakeTRans(ByRef TransNum As Long, ByRef Descrip As Byte, ByRef DDate As Date, ByRef Amount As Integer) As Boolean
Dim Cmd1 As New ADODB.Command() 'To Insert in Table1
Dim Cmd2 As New ADODB.Command()'To Insert in Table2
Try
Cmd1.Prepared = True
Cmd1.ActiveConnection = Con
Cmd1.CommandType = ADODB.CommandTypeEnum.adCmdStoredProc
Cmd1.Parameters.Append(Cmd1.CreateParameter("TransNum", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adInteger, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , TransNum))
Cmd1.Parameters.Append(Cmd1.CreateParameter("Descri", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adTinyInt, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , Descrip))
Cmd1.Parameters.Append(Cmd1.CreateParameter("DDate", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adDate, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , DDate))
Cmd1.Parameters.Append(Cmd1.CreateParameter("Monto", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adInteger, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , Amount))
Cmd1.CommandText = "[Insert FakeTrans]"
Cmd2.Prepared = True
Cmd2.ActiveConnection = Con
Cmd2.CommandType = ADODB.CommandTypeEnum.adCmdStoredProc
Cmd2.Parameters.Append(Cmd2.CreateParameter("TransNum", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adInteger, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , TransNum))
Cmd2.Parameters.Append(Cmd2.CreateParameter("CDate", ADODB.DataTypeEnum.adDate, ADODB.ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInput, , DDate))
Cmd2.CommandText = "[Insert FakeTrans2]"
Cmd1.Execute(, , ADODB.ExecuteOptionEnum.adExecuteNoRecords) 'Err
Cmd2.Execute(, , ADODB.ExecuteOptionEnum.adExecuteNoRecords) 'Err
Return True
Catch
Return False
End Try
End Function
This code runs nicely 340 times, but at attempt 341 gives me a not so nice
"Object not set to an instance of an objet" error message.  (When it gets to the .Execute instruction)
I am VERY new to programming and honestly have no idea why I get this error. PLEASE, HELP, HELP.

Hi
Suppose we have table T as :
ID | Rank
________|________
3 2
3 1
6 7
8 3
6 9
12 8
3 9
3 1
ID is the Id of an article. Each user that see the Article can give it a rank ; (1 =< rank <= 9)
For a given ID , I want all the ranks of it as a ordered table. For example :
For ID = 3 I want to have
Rank | Count
______|_________
1 2
2 1
3 0
4 0
5 0
6 0
7 0
8 0
9 1
I have wrote a stored procedure as:
SP_GetRank<br />
<br />
@ID int<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
select ID , Rank into #temp1 from T where ID = @ID<br />
select Rank , count(Rank) as [count] from #temp1 group by rank<br />
<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.
This procedure works peoperly when for each ID , each number of 1 to 9 at least one time presents in table T.
How i change my sp?
Thanks a lot!

First, create a Ranks table with the possible ranks (1 to 9), just one column called Rank.
Now try this query:
SELECT Ranks.Rank, CASE WHEN [count] IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE [count] END AS [count]
FROM Ranks
RIGHT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT Rank, COUNT(*) AS [count]
FROM T
WHERE ID = @ID
GROUP BY Rank) AS sub ON sub.Rank = Rank.Rank
* DISCLAIMER: I get my left and right outer joins mixed up. So, you may need to change the RIGHT OUTER JOIN to a LEFT OUTER JOIN.

Using the above Ranks table, couldn't you just do a left join?
SELECT Ranks.Rank, Count(T.Rank)
FROM Ranks
LEFT JOIN T
ON (Ranks.Rank = T.Rank AND T.ID = 3)
GROUP BY Ranks.Rank
The left join forces all of Ranks to be displayed and Count() can than properly process the null entries as Zero.

Hi,
I'm new to ADO.net,but have couple of years of experience in classic ADO !
Could you please explain me, what is the best method (way) to insert a record in a multiuser environement.
Stored Procedure option seems to be good, but since i'm using MySql,i can't.
Advance Thanks,

If you're stuck with MySQL, you need to just pass SQL. If you don't have transactions, you're in trouble.

I'm using Oracle database.
This is my code:

Dim CmdTmp As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand
With CmdTmp
.Connection = oConn
'change_status Trigger
.CommandText = "CREATE TRIGGER change_status AFTER INSERT ON invoices " & _
"REFERENCING NEW AS newRow FOR EACH ROW " & _
"BEGIN update orders set orders.order_status='Close' where orders.orderID = :newRow.orderID; " & _
"END change_status;"
.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Try
.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
HasErr = True
Err += ex.Message + Chr(13)

Hey anyone, everyone
We had our principle server crash this weekend (server2003) and the database backup file was inprogress of backup when it crashed, so the backup file shows "incomplete". I have the mdf and ldf files, but since they were active when it crashed they are not accessable right now.
Are there any tools available to recover this db from the active/ not detached .mdf file?
Currently when I try to reattach the files I get a Error 823, it seems my only option right now is to run dbcc checkdb, but since i've never done it and i'm also working on an entirely new build of sql server i'm not working against a db that i can query or even send a contorl/command to.
ANY help would be awesome!
thanks

Hi All
Got problems intrying to update foxpro 2.6 table when
setting Null value to a DateTime field by dataset.
There are two fields in tblTest:
ID int 4,
cDT Date/Time
part of my code is as follows:
DataRow row=new ds_tblTest.Tables[0].NewRow();
row[0]=2;
row[1]=DBNull.Value;
ds_tblTest.Tables[0].Rows.Add(row);
da_tblTest.Update(ds_tblTest);
ds_tblTest.AcceptChanges();
...
An error message will pop up when executing "da_tblTest.Update(ds_tblTest)" like this:
Field cDT does not accept null values..
I tried to update tblTest with OleDbCommand and succeed, but
have trouble when updating with dataSet...Very frustrated indeed.
Any help will be highly appreciated...
Many thanks!
Mei

Look at the UpdateCommand that is being (automatically if you wrapped an OledbCommandBuilder around the ds) built for the datatable. Modify it to look like the oledbCommand (text and parameters) that worked for you...

:(Many thanks for your kind reply.
The oleDbInsertCommand1 looks like this:
this.oleDbInsertCommand1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO test(ID, cDT) VALUES (?,?)";
this.oleDbInsertCommand1.Connection = this.conn_Ole;
this.oleDbInsertCommand1.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbParameter("ID", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Integer, 2, "ID"));
this.oleDbInsertCommand1.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbParameter("cDT", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.DBDate, 0, "cDT"));
....
I think it should be ok..
The oleDbCommand I used to update foxpro table works fine:
string s_Ins="UPDATE tblTest SET cDT=CTOD('') WHERE ID=1";
OleDbCommand cmd2=new OleDbCommand(s_Ins,conn2);
int i2=cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
Very strange indeed. Is that possible to set Null to DataTime field in foxpro table?
