Are you talking about a System.Data.DataTable that's already populated and you want to pull a random record from it? Or are you talking about writing a select statement that randomly selects a row?

If it's a datatable you could use Random.Next(DataTable.Rows.Count) to get a random integer with a maximum value set to the row count.

If it's a sql query you want to write you could get a random number based on the RAND() function and the COUNT() function then write something like:

DECLARE @Id INT, @Count INT, @Rnd INT
SELECT @Count = COUNT(*) FROM table
SET @Rnd = CAST((@Count*rand())+1 AS INT)

SELECT TOP (@Count) @Id = Id FROM table ORDER BY CartNumber

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Id = @Id

If you're not using SQL 2005 you'll have to build the SELECT TOP query as a string and call EXECUTE instead.

Oops, a small mistake. Change this:

SELECT TOP (@Count) @Id = Id FROM table ORDER BY CartNumber

to this:

SELECT TOP (@Rnd) @Id = Id FROM table

you can have multiple detail sections in your report. one more workaround is to change the report to landscape.

hope that works.

Hi all,

Can SQL Server 2005 handle non-case sensitive sql statements. i.e.
A table with the fields (fieldOne - fieldTwo) has some values:
fieldOne fieldTwo
i insert
L lenght
c car
I inject
C construct
l loose

So if one would to do a sql statement on that table i.e:
A bit of ASP: var x = Request.QueryString("variable");
Lets say the value of x was: l
"SELECT fieldTwo FROM table WHERE fieldOne = '"+x+"'"

The output would be: Lenght .... This is what is happening to me .. Confused | :confused:

Can anyone help.....

you have to alter your collation settings,
the default collation in sql server 2005 is latin1_general_CI_AS
CI = case insensitve
AS = Accent sensitive

you might have to change it in to Case sensitive.
do google on "SQL Server Collation" for more details.

have fun. cheers

i did the same using sql 200, it is a very very tedious process, would recomment you to re install the DB using proper collation and dump in data, and re run sp's , this is much much better approach,

Hi,
I made a GirdView and fill it with data from database. In this GirdView
I have five columns. First column is Name of item that is represented
in this grid. I want to make items in this column url addresses so when
I click on item name it opens another page to edit the item on which I
clicked.

Can this be done? And if can, how?

Thanks!

How good is ADO.NET vNext CTP now?

Hi to all,

Some years ago I have made some experiences with ‘ADO.NET vNext CTP’ predecessor ObjectSpaces. Some while ago I also made my experiences with an O/R mapper (EntityBroker) from THONA Software & Consulting Ltd..
No I will give ‘ADO.NET vNext CTP’ a chance.
How good is Microsoft now?
Is ‘ADO.NET vNext CTP’ better than ObjectSpaces? And when YES which changes Microsoft has done?
Use anyone from you ‘ADO.NET vNext CTP’? Productive? J

I wouldn't think that is an error. Why would VS2005 handle classic ASP?

Creating a stand alone Datarow, without the DataTable

Tristan Rhodes10-Jan-07 1:05

Tristan Rhodes

10-Jan-07 1:05

I've been perplexed by this for a while now, and have found no real solution.

I cannot find a way to create a stongly typed DataRow, without first creating a DataTable, which i don't want to do.

Basicaly, i want to wrap my business object around a datarow, so that it can be used with a data table, without exposing the table and adapter to the external code, and using the datarow to enforce the validation initialy.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to do this? I've tried a number of ways and been blocked by various caveats.

Cheers

Tris

[Update]
I'm thinking about using a single instance of each type of data table as a row factory, and wrap them in a static class with static members. Can anyone comment on the thread safety of this approach?
