If you're using SQL 2005 you could have a look at the PIVOT command.

I have created following assembly. This is an strong named assembly and it intends to start another process. I need to register it in SQL server 2005 database
namespace AutoRunProcess
{
public static class BaseFunctionClass
{
public static void Run()
{
Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = @"E:\RDBCH32\bin\AutoRun.exe";
myProcess.Start();
}
}
}
When I try to register it, it generate following error
"CREATE ASSEMBLY for assembly 'AutoRunProcess' failed because assembly 'AutoRunProcess' is not authorized for PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS. The assembly is authorized when either of the following is true: the database owner (DBO) has EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY permission and the database has the TRUSTWORTHY database property on; or the assembly is signed with a certificate or an asymmetric key that has a corresponding login with EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY permission. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Please help me to solve this matter.

Can we have Excel like cell merging in SQL? I am looking for something like this:
USER ID OTHER FIELDS
LoginID
816 FirstName
LastName

You could do this with embedded line feeds and concatenated strings. It is not what SQL is all about, SQL stores and delivers the data, your presentation layer should be where you format it for visual consumption.

What I am trying to achieve is to export the result set to an excel file and then send that as an attachement in email. I have to do this using SQL only.
I already have my export stored procedure working. So I need to format the data as mentioned. Hence I was wondering if this can be done in SQL.

This will embedd the line feed, don't know what it will be like in Excel
DECLARE @LF CHAR(2)<br />
<br />
SET @LF = CHAR(10)<br />
<br />
SELECT ContactID,<br />
FirstName + @LF + LastName + @LF + EmailAddress OtherFields<br />
FROM Person.Contact
Output to text instead of grid in QA to see the line feed

I am having trouble making changes to a DataSet. Here is my situation...
What i have is a DataSet with several tables and all their respective columns loaded from database.
At some point during the program execution a new dataadapter and table are created based a SQL query (to access the same database spoken of above). I then make specific changes to the table/rows. While using the Update method and a OleDbCommandBuilder the changes are saved to the database.
The problem is I want to now update the original dataset with Data now changed.
I tried running the Fill command of the new DataAdapter and reference the old DataSet but this does not work when rows are being modified. Oddly it does work when a row has been added?
I have tried various methods such as BeginEdit of the row and AcceptChanges, but perhaps I am not using them correctly?
Can you help, please?
Thanks You!!

Are you getting an exception? If so, please include info about the exception.

It would be a whole lot easier if you could post the code part that's not working, including the refill portion.

I take it, that's the point where you expect the datatable (Congregations) to refresh. Are you getting an exception or what are the symptoms?
|
|

|

Sorry forgot to clarify...
No exception occurs. It is very odd. I feel like I'm doing something wrong that is dumb and simple.
No exception occurs and after running the Fill method, I've tested the table to see if a value is updated and it is...But then. After routine is finished the value is back to previous.
Do I need to set a property for run a method on the table or dataset to allow the rows to update?
The way I can fix it is by delete the table altogether and then using the Fill method. That obviously works.
But in other circumstances the new table may not contain that columns that existed before.

Okay, some guesses:
Have you noticed this on documentation:
When using subsequent Fill calls to refresh the contents of the DataSet, two conditions must be met:
1. The SQL statement should match the one initially used to populate the DataSet.
2. The Key column information must be present. If primary key information is present, any duplicate rows are reconciled and only appear once in the DataTable that corresponds to the DataSet. Primary key information may be set either through FillSchema, by specifying the PrimaryKey property of the DataTable, or by setting the MissingSchemaAction property to AddWithKey.
Also I'm not sure what's the status of each row after refresh so after refilling the dataset you could have a look with the debugger and if the states are modified, accept changes after fill (on the whole dataset). Somehow the behaviour sounds like the changes might have been rejected somewhere in the other parts of the code.

Thanks for your help Mika.
You were right all along. There were a couple things I was doing wrong during my debugging to figure this out. But in the end Number 2 of your last post was the problem.
I didn't think the PrimaryKey was the problem because when I open the database in Access 2007 (using 2007 version database) it shows my column ID as the primary key. This is the column that Access automatically created when I first created the tables.
Shouldn't the OleDbDataAdapter read this information about the primary key??
Thanks again!

No problem.

When using just Fill-method it won't read anything else than basic properties (column names, data types for columns etc). If you want to have a data table which corresponds to the schema in Access, I think when creating the table for the first time, you should do something like this (before the first fill):
da.FillSchema(m_dsData, SchemaType.Mapped);

Hello Friends,
I wrote a query for a purpose like this;I have a field by name "CustomerName".I want it to be split as FirstName and LastName as shown below:
CustomerName FirstName LastName
Jack Daniels Jack Daniels
Jack,Daniels Jack Daniels
My query looks like this;
select substring(customername,1,CHARINDEX(',', customername) -1) as [firstname ],
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1, LEN(customername)) AS [LastName]
from TableName
My Problem is i have two conditions the splitter could be "," or "" in the customername field
I need to integrate this conditions to my query either using "case" or "iif".
ie if the charindex is " " do this and if the charindex is ", " do this
I am not sure how i can do this.Any help is welcome
|

Use CASE[^] and test if CHARINDEX for comma or space is greater than 0 and based on that use SUBSTRING to split the string. Something like:
... CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX(',', customername) > 0 THEN SUBSTRING(customername,1, CHARINDEX(',', customername) -1)
ELSE SUBSTRING(customername,1,CHARINDEX(' ', customername) -1)
END AS FirstName ....

Hi Mika,
I modified my query like this;It still is not working 
select customername,
case when CHARINDEX(',', customername)>0 then
substring(customername,1,CHARINDEX(',', customername) -1) as [firstname ],
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1, LEN(customername)) AS [LastName]
else
substring(customername,1,CHARINDEX(',', customername) -1) as [firstname ],
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1, LEN(customername)) AS [LastName]
from TableName

Getting and error message?
I think it should be more like (may contain several typos):
select customername,
case
when CHARINDEX(',', customername)>0 then
substring(customername,1,CHARINDEX(',', customername) -1)
else
substring(customername,1,CHARINDEX(' ', customername) -1)
end as [firstname ],
case
when CHARINDEX(',', customername)>0 then
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1, LEN(customername))
else
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(' ', customername) + 1, LEN(customername))
end AS [LastName]
from TableName

Hey Mika,
Thanks again to you and Ben....It worked.I made slight modification in the query though...a very slight one.
The credit goes to you guys ....
Please see the working query and let me know if any tweaking is necessary...becuase i will be cghnaging this select to update query for around 9million records.....
select customername,
-- get the last name
case
when CHARINDEX(',', customername) > 0 then
SUBSTRING(customername, 1, CHARINDEX(',', customername) - 1) -- comma is delimiter
when CHARINDEX(' ', customername) > 0 then
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(' ', customername) + 1, LEN(customername) - CHARINDEX(' ', customername) + 1) -- space is delimiter
else
'' -- neither comma nor space found
end as [lastname],
-- get the first name
case
when CHARINDEX(',', customername) > 0 then
SUBSTRING(customername, CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1, LEN(customername) - CHARINDEX(',', customername) + 1) -- comma is delimiter
when CHARINDEX(' ', customername) > 0 then
SUBSTRING(customername, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', customername) - 1) -- space is delimiter
else
'' -- neither comma nor space found
end AS [firstname]

Yeah, you're rught. I misplaced the commas. Corrected now.

Although it's 'cleaner' to use the rest of the length as a parameter, it's not necessary. Basically if you want the rest of the string you can pass any value as long as it's at least the rest of the length.
