Is there a way to change the datetime or smalldatime format without converting it to a string?

The internal format is always the same - 8 bytes for datetime, 4 bytes for smalldatetime. I'm not sure what you're asking here.

let's say from yyyy/dd/mm to mm/dd/yyyy? Is that possible without using conversion?

Hi,
I want a SQL query which will return result set using exact match case.
e.g.
Query1:
SELECT * FROM <table_name> WHERE <column_1> = 'computer'
This query return result set with Column1 = 'computer'
Query2:
SELECT * FROM <table_name> WHERE <column_1> = 'COMPUTER'
This query return result set with Column1 = 'COMPUTER'
In above queries both return diff results.
Regards
Sumit

Did you mean you want to return results which contains both 'computer' and 'COMPUTER'?
In most SQLs the queries are case-insensitive which means both query 1 and 2 should return the same result.
If that is not the case, then just use WHERE UCASE(column1) = UCASE('Computer') so everything is search based on uppercase value.
If you want case-sensitivity instead, then just cast both values into varbinary, e.g. CAST('Computer' AS varbinary(8)).
For more information on SQL case sensitivity, you can read this link[^].

As per your suggestion, I execute following query
SELECT * FROM TagMaster WHERE CAST('Metric' AS varbinary(6)) = CAST(TagName AS varbinary(6))
//Comment : There is a entry TagMaster where column TagName = 'Metric'
// But it return blank result set.
Then to cross check I execute following query
SELECT CAST('Metric' AS varbinary(6)), CAST(TagName AS varbinary(6))FROM tbl_UI_TagMaster
// Comment : Which gives two columns which are not matching at all.

I'm still pretty new to the Asp.Net world.
I have a website that a user will have to fill out some forms. Several of these forms I want the entries to be standardized into drop down boxes. (for intstance, ethnicity) I'd like to be able to pull values from an 'ethnicty' table and well several other tables for other drop down boxes.
How ever I have a concern, how many sqldatasource objects is to many? (Is it common practice to use as many as 10 different sql data sources on the same webpage?)
How well does the .net code optimize these data sources? For example, on each datasource does it open a connection, run the query then close connection for all 10 sources?
In general, if I ran the queries on page load and then set the values of the drop down boxes would/could that be more efficient?
Or are there a better places than page_load to do that??
Any info on these questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

You should try looking at 'Factory' class which gives you an idea how to write database agnostic [generic] code.

SELECT Category, MAX(id) AS MaximumID
FROM dbo.TableName
GROUP BY category
should do the trick. that is of course assuming you are using SQL Server, best in future to specify the actual database (and version) it removes any doubt and ensures the answer you get is accurate

thank you very much. This is exactly what i wanted.

No worries, MAX is one of SQL Server's "aggregation" functions. There are lots - SUM, MIN, AVG etc etc and Grouping is a very powerful feature - definitly worth the time to look into and understand.

HOW DO I SPECIFY VALUES FOR @str and @prev ????
so that i can update my database.

dadapter->UpdateCommand->Parameters("@str")->Value = "test".
|
|
|
|
|
dadapter->UpdateCommand->Parameters("@str")->Value = "test";
I tried it....but it gave me the following errors:-
error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments
error C2227: left of '->Value' must point to class/struct/union/generic type
why do i get this?
setting par->Value = "test"; -- doesnt giv any errors but doesnt work either
Thanks,
Kedar Dave

My mistake. Parameres["@str"] - square brackets, not parentheses
|
|
|
|
|
i did Parameters["@str"]->Value = S"test";
but got the following when i compiled :
error C2107: illegal index, indirection not allowed
hw do i get rid of this error?
thanks a lot,

Hey,
we have an application written in ASP 3.0.in that we used Crystal Reports to generate reports(directly communicating with ASP).Now we want to use Sql REporting Servicesinstead of crystal Reports.I want to know whether we can use SQl Reporting services with ASp 3.0 or not.. If we can, plz send a sample or explain me how to do that. my id..
grminds@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance..

To best of my knowledge you can build web and smart client using reporting services from VS 2005 development platform. Since you are using ASP3.0 which I assume not asp.net, then I guess try exploring options of web services interface provided by ms reporting services.
Hope this helps.

Hi, i'm having a bit of trouble with this query:
"select SUM(t1.value1 - SUM(t2.value2)) from table1 as t1, table2 as t2 where t1.prop=0 and t1.payed=0 and t1.date='2006-3-21' and t2.parent=t1.id";
I can't retrieve the SUM(t1.value1 - SUM(t2.value2)) because i don't know where to insert the group by and what should i group for. I was able to retrieve (t1.value1 - SUM(t2.value2)) if i group by t1.id (wich is the column index) but adding the SUM it doesn't work. Ignore the conditional values, i'm having troubles with the SUM(t1.value1 - SUM(t2.value2)) part.
Thanx if someone can helpe me with this one.

Start small
SELECT
SUM(t1.Value1),
SUM(t2.Value2)
FROM
table1 t1,
table2 t2
GROUP BY
t1.Value1, t2.Value2
I don't know if the above query works but it is a smaller stepping point. After the above works gradually move towards your more complicated query. I tried in Oracle and it seems to be an expesive query. Maybe breaking it up using T-SQL would help.

Your query surely works but asume i modified it a step foward as you suggested and i get the following:
SELECT
(t1.Value1 - SUM(t2.Value2))
FROM
table1 t1,
table2 t2
GROUP BY
t1.id
That returns a list of integers that is correct. But now i want the sum of that list.
Thanks anyway
