Thank you, Mycroft,
We would prefer to have all the processing performed in the client, although creating temporary stored procs and deleting them when completed is well within reason, the calculation itself needs to be housed in the client so we want to pass the subsets of data back to the client. The problem (at least as far as I can tell) is getting the data transferred to the client for the calculation.
And yes, the results need to be stored, as the user has a number of options on how s/he can manipulate the results. Although, using an interim step to write it to a different file, then importing it to the database is feasible (since I cannot have an open datareader if I want to write something to the same database).
I hadn't thought about using a cursor for this. Are cursors available using ADO.NET?

Oh no its not reasonable - this implies you do not "own" the database otherwise why delete the proc?

"prefer" is not a strong enough reason to screw up your application design, there needs to be a good reason to inflict this design on yourself. You need to make a decision, where you want the work to be done. I always prefer the server but that does not preclude using the client. What you should not be doing is using both!
Unless there is a calculation method/function you cannot use in the server then I would pass the parameters to get the resultset to the server proc, process the calculation as close to the datastore as possible (SQL) and return the resultset.
If you must use the client I think you should look into linq. I could do this with datatables and views by iterating through the records but linq sounds like it could do the job with sql like statements.

Hello.
I have some problems with an application developed in C# and Oracle connection, The Application is a Windows Services that process some actions in an Oracle database in real time.
The problem is that I'm using C# 2003 and Framework 1.1 SP1, and I don´t know why the service lost the connection with the database and the object Oracleconnection.State is "Open".
I think that this is my problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830173[^]
But I can´t close and open the connection all the time, I´m only need to reopen the connection when and Exception Happended (But my connection class it´s in other .net solution).
I thought that if I put a thread listening a variable that is changed any time I do an action, if this variable doesn´t change I reopend the connection, but my client doesn´t like this solution.
Anyone can help me ?, if you think on any solution please let me know.
Thank's a lot.
Regards, Jose A. Morey.

Retain the connection credentials in the web service
retain the sql command object for resubmission
submit command
trap the error when the SQL connection fails
interrogate the error to make sure it is the connection fail error
reestablish the connection
resubmit the SQL action (this being the nasty bit)
Just some ideas!

Hi,
I have a typical scenario. I want to get
My query is
SELECT StarRate, date FROM BasicSearch WHERE date BETWEEN '2008-06-03' AND '2008-06-05';
My Result is as follows
StarRate date
-------- -----
1 2008-06-03 00:00:00.000
1 2008-06-04 00:00:00.000
1 2008-06-05 00:00:00.000
5 2008-06-04 00:00:00.000
5 2008-06-05 00:00:00.000
But I require the result as below
StarRate date
-------- -----
1 2008-06-03 00:00:00.000
1 2008-06-04 00:00:00.000
1 2008-06-05 00:00:00.000
Because StarRate 1 has all 3 dates
Thanks in advance

SELECT DISTINCT StarRate, date FROM BasicSearch WHERE date BETWEEN '2008-06-03' AND '2008-06-05';

Hi
Do you want the output to be only the StarRate witch has all the dates in the date interval?
Try
SELECT StarRate, date FROM BasicSearch WHERE date BETWEEN '2008-06-03' AND '2008-06-05'
AND StarRate in (
SELECT StarRate FROM BasicSearch WHERE date BETWEEN '2008-06-03' AND '2008-06-05'
GROUP BY StarRate
HAVING Count(*) = DATEDIFF("D", '2008-06-03', '2008-06-05') + 1)
This should work if it's uniqueness on StarRate and date

Nice one. I think I misread the original post, didn't notive it was just the starrate 1's required.

I'm reading an Excel file in VB.NET. The columns in the sheets don't have a datatype specified. One of the columns has phone numbers. Some users have entered the numbers with dashes (-), and others without dashes or spaces. When a column has all of the phone numbers with dashes, it shows all the values. The same happens when all the numbers are without dashes. The problem is when some have and some haven't: it reads only the ones that have a dash. 
How can I read all of the cells? Defining the type on the Excel isn't an option, there are hundreds of files with several sheets each.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question.
Thank you for your help!

I finally found the solution. The problem was the way Excel was designed. Let me explain:
When no data type is specified, Excel reads the first 8 rows of that column to try to find out. My file had several lines of heading, leaving just the first row of data to do this. The first value was text, so it assumed the whole column was text, ignoring the numbers. My solution was to tell the user (luckily just one understanding person) to run the program twice, once with a dash and once without. Not the best solution, but it's the best I can do. I hope I can help somebody with this.

i have stored procedure with two parameters as follows:
create procedure checkCompatability
(
@compatility varchar output,
@award_num int
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
IF EXISTS (SELECT Award_num from table1 where award_num=@award_num)
begin
set @compatability='Y'
print @compatability
end
else
set @compatability='N'
print @compatability
GO
in C# parameters:
SqlCommand checkDone = new SqlCommand();
checkDone.Connection = con1;
checkDone.Connection.Open();
checkDone.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
checkDone.CommandText = "checkCompatability";
SqlParameter comp = new SqlParameter("@compatability", SqlDbType.VarChar);
string S = comp.Value.ToString();\\null reference exception occours here
lblresult.Text = S.ToString();
comp.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
SqlParameter complete = new SqlParameter("@award_num", SqlDbType.Int);
complete.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
int awN = int.Parse(comboAwardNum.Text);
complete.Value =(int) awN;
lblresult.Text = comp.Value.ToString();
checkDone.Parameters.Add(comp);
checkDone.Parameters.Add(complete);
checkDone.ExecuteNonQuery();
checkDone.Connection.Close();
what is the problem with that code?

You cannot retrieve the value of output parameters until after you have executed the stored procedure and retrieved all the results (if any). (The latter is a SQL Server limitation: when in 'firehose' mode it doesn't return the output parameter values until after the entire result data stream has been sent.)

do you mean that i should execute the command before initailize the parameters?
|
|
|
|
|
No, set the parameters, execute the proc and THEN get the output value.
Also, stop double posting - this was in the C# forum as well.

Hi,
I have just completely installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition with all features but there is no icon of "SQL Server Management Studios" in program files. I tried to find in the following directory:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SqlWb.exe"
but there is no "SqlWb.exe" present there. What should I do.
Thanx

Try running SqlRun_Tools.msi file which is in your SQL Server 2005 media in the

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right board for this question - sorry if not !!!
I have installed Reporting Services and have created a nmuber of reports via the business intelegence IDE. However a customer has asked for something a little different than the usual table format.
They want a report that has a number of text boxes arranged on the page that contain data grabbed from the db. I have managed to get this working but they also want this same format on a new page of the report for each row returned by the SQL statement.
Not sure i have explained this very well but any info you could give would be fantastic as i am really stuck !!!
Thanks,
John

I think what you want is a header. Go to report on the menu and page header. Put your text boxes in there?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
Thanks for the reply! but i am still having problems.
The textboxes are populated from fields in the dataset. when i tried to put them in the header i was told that fields cant be put in the header.
All i need is the same report page replicated for each row in the dataset. but its seeming impossible 
Please help !!!!
Thanks
John

Hello,
I have found the solution 
I simply needed to put the text boxes inside a list then set the list to have a page break after it !!!
Just thought i would let you know, thanks

I have a SQL query that outputs well formed XML
SELECT Title,Description FROM dbo.Books FOR XML PATH('item'), ROOT('channel')
The output look like the following
"channel"
"item"
"title"Study Guide For College Physics II"/title"
"description"This course is divided into four..."/description"
"/item"
"item"
"title"God bless America"/title"
"description"Americans went off to war in World War.."/description"
"/item"
"/channel"
What I need is the xml version, namespace so I can automate this process.
Like so
Had to strip out tags as they are filtered
"xml version="1.0""
"rss version="2.0"
"xmlns:live="http://live.com/schema/media/"
"channel"
"item"
"title"Study Guide For College Physics II"/title"
"description"This course is divided into four..."/description"
"/item"
"item"
"title"God bless America"/title"
"description"Americans went off to war in World War.."/description"
"/item"
"/channel"

Hello.
Why when I use this query (select top(10) * from test.dbf order by testcol) for a *.dbf free table with Visual Foxpro ODBC driver I get 94 rows in the result set instead of 10 rows? Do you know why?
