I think you've probably had trouble finding information on this because you don't really search a DataSet...You would do the search on a DataTable. There are a number of ways to perform a search on a DataTable object, I'll tell you about one. First of all, since a DataSet is a collection of DataTable objects, you can reference a table IN a DataSet like this:
dsMyDataSet.Tables("myTableName")
or, if for example you knew the table you wanted was the first table inserted into the DataSet:
dsMyDataSet.Tables(0)
So one way to search the DataTable requires that you first have a primary key constraint on the table. If you got the data for this DataSet from a data base by using a DataAdapter and doing a .Fill the constraints are not necessarily carried over into the DataSet. You may have to do something like this:
With dsMyDataSet.Tables("dtMyTable")<br />
.Constraints.Add("pk", .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName"), True)<br />
End With
The "pk" parm gives a name to the new contraint for referencing it later, the .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName") parm specifies which column in the DataTable is the primary or unique key, and the True parm specifies that this is a primary key. This works when just one column makes up your primary key, if you have more than one column as a primary key the .Columns("PrimaryKeyColumnName") parm should be replaced by an array of DataColumns from the DataTable that compose the Primary Key.
Once you are sure that your DataTable has a primary key constraint you can search for a row like this:
Dim rowFound As DataRow<br />
rowFound = dt.Rows.Find("myKeyValue")
or if your primary key is a number:
Dim rowFound As DataRow<br />
rowFound = dt.Rows.Find(1003)
I hope this helps.

I m trying to execute the following store procedure
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax
@FieldId int,
@tablename varchar(255)
as
select Max(@FieldId) from @tablename
the following error is occuring:
Must declare the table variable "@tablename".
i want one store proc for all tables. plz help me in this.
|

|
|
|
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax<br />
@FieldId int,<br />
@tablename varchar(255)<br />
<br />
as<br />
<br />
select Max(@FieldId) from tablename
|
|
|
|
|
You can't pass table names as parameters. What you want to do will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what you are passing as your first parameter, but if you make the following procedure and pass in the Field Name and Table Name, you should get what you're after.
create Procedure sp_sys_getMax
@FieldName varchar(50),
@tablename varchar(255)
as
declare @sql varchar(300)
set @sql = 'select Max(' + @FieldName + ') from ' + @tablename
exec(@sql)
GO

Say for example you have two companys using the same database...but each table in the database has a company id so you can keep track of which company ownes the data...now the question is, I need to insert a record and return the id for that record, but IDENT_CURRENT is going to give me the current ID for that table...not respective of which company inserted the ID...so what is the best way of getting the correct id? Here is the wraper class so far...I dont mind if you re-use it in your projects, but help if you can please 
Thanks in advance guys(and girls  )

How to excute parameterized storeprocedure in LinkedServer.
Rickey

Hi guys,
Got this problem that's really annoying me as I can't find an answer and I know it's going to bug the hell out of me when a simple solution comes up.
Anyway, I'm using C# to connect to an Access database using the following code:
cmdFindLenders.CommandText = "SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyNameID='" + strCompany + "'";<br />
SqlDataReader rsFindLenders = cmdFindLenders.ExecuteReader();
However, due to Access and the crappy proprietory SQL is uses, it needs the string (the company name) to be passed through using double quotes, not single. So the SQL should read SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName="Microsoft" rather than SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName='Microsoft'
If I use the \" escape character in my SQL string, then the command text passed to Access isn't what I intended and it comes out like this: SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName=\"Microsoft\"
Grrrrrr!!!!  Any ideas any one?

Use '' to replace ' quote and access does not use \ as the escape sequence

SqlDataReader
First of all, shouldnt you be using an OledbDataReader rather than an SqlDataReader? The SqlClient namespace classes are intended only for use with SQL Server, and it is surprising to me that they work at all with Access. Not sure how you are constructing the string that caUses the escape sequence to be ingored (you're not prefixing with an @ are you?), but try this:
public const string sQuote = "\"";
public string QuoteString(string strToQoute)
{
return sQuote + strToQuote + sQuote;
}
...
x.CommandText = "Select ID from Company where CompanyName = " + QuoteString(strCompany);
....

Thanks for that Rob - yeah my bad! I am actually using the OleDbDataReader and not the SqlDataReader class in my code. I was trying to get this question up there before CSI came on the TV!!! (it comes on at 9pm here in the UK)
Anyway, the method you have presented there is the same method I am using, and the CommandText that gets passed to Access is actually:
SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName=\"Microsoft\" and obviously not what I want!
EDIT: Woah! After rebooting my machine, it now seems to pass through the correct string... i.e SELECT ID FROM Company WHERE CompanyName="Microsoft"
Not sure what happened there... anyway, the query never finds the company regardless of the name supplied, even though the company is in the database! Any ideas on this one? I have seen a similar situation when searching on Google, but couldn't find a fix

|

Can't you use SqlParameter instead? I'm not 100% sure whether it works with Access but it's safer than using concatenated Sql strings and you don't need to worry about the quotes.

I’m having a problem updating a record in my AAH_CNTRCT_EVNT_LOG table. I know its because of the datetime. I’m using datetime as one of my keys. The Dates I physically put in the table work just fine but when I add a record I use a store procedure that adds the date using DECLARE @NOW datetime SET @NOW = GETDATE()and those are the ones that seem to give me the problem when updating. Dose anyone know how to fix this problem? 
Here's the store procedure for the update:
(
@iAahCntrctId int,
@sAahCntrctEvntNM varchar (50),
@dAahCntrctEvntLogDT datetime,
@sAahCntrctEvntLogCmnt varchar (500),
@sAahCntrctSignLN1NM varchar (20),
@sAahCntrctSignLN2NM varchar (20),
@sAahCntrctSignLN3NM varchar (20),
@sUpdtUserID varchar (8)
)
AS
DECLARE @EMPTY INT
DECLARE @BLK CHAR
DECLARE @BLKDT DATETIME
DECLARE @NOW datetime
SET @NOW = GETDATE()
SET @EMPTY = 0
SET @BLK = ''
SET @BLKDT = ''
UPDATE AAH_CNTRCT_EVNT_LOG
SET AAH_CNTRCT_EVNT_LOG_CMNT = @sAahCntrctEvntLogCmnt,
AAH_CNTRCT_SIGN_LN_1_NM = @sAahCntrctSignLN1NM,
AAH_CNTRCT_SIGN_LN_2_NM = @sAahCntrctSignLN2NM,
AAH_CNTRCT_SIGN_LN_3_NM = @sAahCntrctSignLN3NM,
UPDT_USER_ID = @sUpdtUserID,
UPDT_DTTM = @NOW
WHERE AAH_CNTRCT_ID = @iAahCntrctId
and AAH_CNTRCT_EVNT_NM = @sAahCntrctEvntNM
AND AAH_CNTRCT_EVNT_LOG_DT = @dAahCntrctEvntLogD
|
|
|
|
|
This should work. What error are you getting? (You are missing a "T" at the end of the UPDATE statement. I assume that is a copy/paste error on Code Project).
Does UPDT_DTTM have a unique constraint? If so, are you adding records so fast that you are violating the constraint?

We had populated the date field using the GetDate() function in SQL during the insert of the record. We were using a datetime type variable in C# to hold the date until we updated the record by calling the SQL statement. When we tried to update the record using the held variable and passing it to the SQL statement to the where clause, it could not find the record to update it.
We resolved the whole issue by changing the way the date field was poulated when it was inserted into the database. We removed the GetDate() function from the SQL and passed a date variable as a string to the datetime type field on the SQL statement. When we updated the record this time, it worked.
Thank you for your help in trying to resolve this.

If you could show how the procedure is invoked, that might help. How exactly is the date variable passed in the call?
As an aside, logging things like a create_date or update_date, I usually will do that using triggers instead of implementing them within the create or update procedure. It's an extremely subtle difference, but I'd be interested in knowing if others agree or not.

Thanks for replying to the question. We were able to resolve it by changing the SQL insert statement used to write(insert) the record. We removed the GetDate() function and used a string variable to hold the date read. Then we passed it into a datetime type variable in the SQL statement. Without changing the update SQL statement, we were able to update the record.

I have an existing SQL production database. During new developments, new fields/tables/stored procs etc have been added.
Now I want to merge these changes into the production server (without loosing data).
I could write a program to do it, but is there an easy way?

We use SQL Compare[^].
The alternative is of course to save a script every time you make a modification, or simply to make the changes using a script in the first place, but that's not really an option for you now.
The only other free alternative - the way we used to do it - is to export the database schema to a file using the Generate Script feature from both the old database and the new, and use a diff tool (such as WinDiff) to compare them. This will at least show what's changed. Then you write another script which uses ALTER DATABASE/ALTER TABLE/etc as appropriate to make the necessary changes.
