I have a CSV file which opens successfully in Excel. However, when I run the COPY TABLE statement on Ingres I get keep getting an unexpected end of file error message on line 281. I have checked this line in the file and there is nothing obviously wrong with it. When I delete that line I get the same error message but for a line with a lower number (eg. 104). Does anyone know the cause of this or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a program that saves a variety of data to an access database. I was wondering, is this the best way of saving data or is it best to save as an XML file? This data will get large but will take a while for that to happen. If I give this program out to people with the database, will they be able to use the program straight away or do they need to have MS Access installed?
Cheers.

Friends, i've found a question with few choices on a newsgrop. I dont know the answer of this question. Please tell me the answer of this question and also tell me the reason.
You are writing an application that is initially designed to use an Oracle database. You know that there is a good chance that your company will be changing their corporate standard database platform to Microsoft SQL Server in the near future. You are concerned that your application needs to function with a minimum of changes if the database platform ever changes from Oracle to SQL Server.
Given the scenario above, how do you declare your DataReader objects to minimize the impact of a change to the database platform in the future?
1) OracleDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
2) OleDbDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
3) SQLDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
4) OdbcDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
5) IDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();

#5 - It is the interface that all others DataReaders are required to implement.
However, the question does not guide you in the correct direction. You should create a DAL (Data Abstraction Layer) that can be swapped out when you change database vendor. The DAL is your application's interface to the database and only the DAL needs to care what the back end database is. Using just the interfaces supplied in System.Data isn't going to do much for you because you still need to construct the Connection, Command and DataAdapter objects which are database specific.

You may create a simplified and database-agnostic solution using an object-relational mapping product like NJDX.
Even developing a DAL layer can get quite complicated if you have to use SQL/ADO.NET. This report shows how NJDX OR-Mapper reduced the complexity and size (70%) of the DAL code for the famous .NET Pet Shop project.

I would reccomend that you use the Data Access Application Block (DAAB) which is free from MS. This provides the level of abstraction you need to make changing your DB backend painless.

I just tried a small select, and mistakenly left the quotes off a varchar field. Instead of complaining that the column is varchar not numeric, SQL attempts to convert each value of the varchar column to an int, failing when it encounters the first non-numeric value in the column. Why doesn't it complain earlier, and why does it choose the least efficient conversion, if any converison at all?

Hello,
I have a query that select data from 2 tables which I want to print out in crystal report.
My query
<br />
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[printJobSheet]<br />
@incidentID int<br />
<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from<br />
-- interfering with SELECT statements.<br />
SET NOCOUNT ON;<br />
<br />
-- Insert statements for procedure here<br />
SELECT incident.incidentID, incident.company, incident.subject, incident.contact, incident.phoneNo, incident.email, incidentTask.TaskID, incidentTask.Details<br />
FROM incident INNER JOIN incidentTask on incident.incidentID = incidentTask.incidentID<br />
WHERE incident.incidentID = @incidentID<br />
END<br />
The repeating field are in the incidentTask table (TaskID, Details) These will be in the detailed section of the report. The other fields from the incident table will be in the header.
The way I am fill my dataset which is a typed dataset is as follows:
<br />
Try<br />
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure<br />
cmd.CommandText = "printJobSheet"<br />
<br />
Dim pIncidentID As New SqlParameter()<br />
pIncidentID.ParameterName = "@IncidentID"<br />
pIncidentID.DbType = DbType.Int16<br />
pIncidentID.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input<br />
pIncidentID.Value = IDNumber<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(pIncidentID)<br />
<br />
DS_JobSheet2 = New DataSet<br />
<br />
cnn.Open()<br />
cmd.Connection = cnn<br />
<br />
da.SelectCommand = cmd<br />
da.Fill(DS_JobSheet2)<br />
<br />
dt = DS_JobSheet2.Tables(0)<br />
<br />
report.Load(Application.StartupPath & "/rptJobSheet2.rpt")<br />
report.SetDataSource(dt)<br />
<br />
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report<br />
<br />
Catch ex As Exception<br />
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)<br />
End Try<br />
If I do a SELECT * FROM Incident
or
SELECT * FROM IncidentTask
It works, but not when I join the tables together. I have created the xsd typed datasets and have the in my report.
Can any confirm my query, is it correct.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

SQL Server 2005 Books Online
Implementing Jobs [^]
A job is a specified series of operations performed sequentially by SQL Server Agent. A job can perform a wide range of activities, including running Transact-SQL scripts, command-line applications, Microsoft ActiveX scripts, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services commands and queries, or Replication tasks. Jobs can run repetitive tasks or those that can be scheduled, and they can automatically notify users of job status by generating alerts, thereby greatly simplifying SQL Server administration.
You can run a job manually, or you can configure it to run according to a schedule or in response to alerts.

Hi all,
I have SQL server express edition 2005 installed on my computer and using VB in MS Access to run some queries. The VB function looks something like this..
Dim dataRS As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim cnnSQL As New ADODB.Connection
Set cnnSQL = New ADODB.Connection
cnnSQL.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.\SQLExpress;Database=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
cnnSQL.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
cnnSQL.Open
dataRS.Open "SELECT dbo_Table_1.* FROM dbo_Table_1", cnnSQL, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
The code fails though, on the last line with message
"Invalid object name 'dbo_Table_1'"
(yes, I verified that the table actually does exist in the DB)
I must be doing something wrong with the connection string but all the things that I've tried so far haven't worked.. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I'm not exactly sure, but isn't it odd to SELECT Table1 FROM Table1? You also have a period after the first dbp_Table_1 which may be causing fits.

He isn't he's selecting dbo_Table1.* which is a valid notation to mean all columns from dbo_Table1 - It is most commonly used when there are joined tables - It is redundant if there is only one table in the select because SELECT * would be just as effective.
Jerry Hammond wrote: You also have a period after the first dbp_Table_1 which may be causing fits.
The dot is to allow you to more fully qualify a name if there is some ambiguity. Here the notation is reduntant because there is no ambiguity. The full notation is:
[server].[database].[owner].[table].[column]

Cool. That is good to know. He does say, "yes, I verified that the table actually does exist in the DB)".

Right. That would mean--I assume--that when he writes dbo_Table_1. he is selecting his Server?

No, it goes the other way around. The column is the mandatory bit, so it will parse as if the colum is the last thing and work back from there.
Valid sequences, when expecting a column name, are therefore:
[server].[database].[owner].[table].[column]
[database].[owner].[table].[column]
[owner].[table].[column]
[table].[column]
[column]
Valid sequences, when expecting a table name, are:
[server].[database].[owner].[table]
[database].[owner].[table]
[owner].[table]
[table]
(Note the owner name, in both cases, can be omitted when it is the dbo, so you'd get the two dots with nothing inbetween. e.g. mydatabase..mytable)

Are you sure the root cause isn’t the double initialize of cnnSQL?

While the double initialisation is redundant it is unlikely to be the cause of the problem because the second connection is constructed over the first before anything is done with the first connection.

CP choked on my post and I was way to lazy (well tired) to retype it all out again. I have had issues with simple errors of that nature. Nothing big just flaky behavior by the object.

Are you sure you really have a table name called dbo_Table_1? Are you sure it isn't dbo.Table_1? (i.e. there is a dot between dbo and Table_1 rather than an underscore)

I have a trouble with using DiffGrams.
All I need is to update MSSQL 2000 table using DiffGram.
I wrote code but it crashes Searching MANY documents didn't gave me an answer  .
Please, could anyone help me? 
<br />
SqlXmlCommand cmd = new SqlXmlCommand(connectionStr + ";Provider=SQLOLEDB");<br />
cmd.CommandType = SqlXmlCommandType.DiffGram;<br />
cmd.Namespaces = "xmlns:x='http://tempuri.org/mydata.xsd'";<br />
cmd.SchemaPath = Application.StartupPath + @"\mydata.xsd";<br />
cmd.CommandText = "x:SampleTable"; <br />
SqlXmlAdapter ad = new SqlXmlAdapter(cmd);<br />
ad.Update(dataSet);<br />
P.S. Why Microsoft help is so small?

Hey people, does anybody know how to use DiffGrams?

I've been looking around for approach recommendations on how to best update the code for an SQL Server 2005 user defined type written in C#. You can't deploy the type if it is 'in use' - for example, if a field in the database is declared to be of the type of the UDT.
Of course, I usually write perfect code that forsees all future possibilities.  ... but on the off chance I might need to update the managed code into a database with real production stuff in it - I'm looking for the best approach to deploy updates to the UDT.
So far, the best I've figured out is that one tests the heck out of the string to type and type to string conversions, and when you want to deploy the update, you change all the UDT columns into strings (which converts the data in place, and frees the assembly from use) deploy the update, and then change all the columns back to the UDT.
Anyone have anything less brute forceish to recommend?
Mike
