Hi,
System.Data.SqlClient can only be used for SQL server. System.Data.OleDb is built to access a wide variety of databases as it is build on top of ODBC (for details look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLE_DB[^]).
I would suggest using the more common approach (ODBC or OleDB) as it gives you the opportunity to change your database provider without too much effects on your code.

Sebastian

Hi,
Do you have any backup files of your database? Don't know if your recycle bin contains a copy of the old file (does this work when replacing files?).

Hi Guys,
I have created a program that exports data from our old system to a .sql file that drops/creates and inserts, which works fine, the only problem I have is automating.
How do you execute a SQL file from a DTS package?
Obviuosly the file changes on a daily basis, but the filename can remain the same.
Please help and thanks in advance,
Paul.

Actually the solution was fairly easy, just a one liner sorted it using sqlcmd.
Thanks for your response though it's great that people do actually try and help.

So what was the one liner?

Sorry, was just happy to have a solution didn't think of posting....
sqlcmd -U USERNAME -P PASSWORD -S SERVER -d DATABASE_NAME -i yourfile.sql
Pop that into a bat file and execute from the DTS package as a win32 process, all I need to do now is return a true or false from the bat file and pass back to the DTS package to confirm failure or success.
Probably sounds easier than it will be....
Paul.

Hy!
Here is the situation:
I am interested in ordering rows in a returned querie (full outer join querie) and I need to do the ordering for 2 columns. Now, the thing is, simple ORDER BY can't help me. If you use
ORDER BY column1, column2 the result is sorting querie by column1 and then column2. This does not satisfy my situation.
I wolud like sorting to be in a way that sorting happens for these 2 columns at once. I would like the result to look like this if it is possible:
column1 column2
25.5.1984 null
null 30.5.1985
null 17.5.1993
2.2.2005 null
The columns are type short date/time.
Cheers!

Try this
order by isnull(column1,column2)

I just happened to need this today, in MySQL though. There the function exists and is called ifnull. Works great. Thanks.

Situation:
One of the columns in the table is with xml data type.
Every seconds table has ~30 row inserted. After couple of mounts there will be ~ 30row x 60s x 60min x 24h x 30day = ~78x10^6 rows for 1 month.
The goal is: very quick retrieve data from that table, where some queries will target xml column (specific data in xml element or attribute).
Did anybody have experience with xml column in this way? Did this way of returning data is slow, or can be quick with using xml indexes, or even using xml indexes this way of returning data is still slow?

if i understand you correctly , you have a field in your table that is of XML data type and has some xml in it and you want to retrieve a certain attribute(Column) in that XML. Then my frinend , that means form the begining you made a poor design decision when designing a database, and to loop through the data will be tedious for sql to retrieve the amaount of data you want. use another way.Give us more info , mybe we can help in the Logic that you can follow.

I will try to explain, in one db I have 3 tables, because I want to return data as quick as possible to web services, I design 1 table with all necessary columns.
First design is without xml column, but number of rows will be at least 5x larger from design with xml column.
One of the solution is that I return data, and in web services to deal with xml column.
Second solution is that I return data filtered by xml attributes, or elements.
One more quick response is goal.

Hi,
I'd like to put all my database management in StoredProcedures or Functions, but I'm having a small problem:
1) I know I can't use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in UDFs, right?
2) So i created a SPROC that inserts a record to a simple table (id, name) and returns the ID in an output parameter. It's working fine.
3) I create a UDF that executes this SPROC and returns the ID... and here is my problem... looks like I can't execute my own SPROCs from a UDF. 
4) So.. how do I achieve this goal? Inserting a record and returning the auto generated id back to my web browser (asp.net application).
Here is some of my code:
CREATE PROCEDURE finsTeste
@snome varchar(50),
@nid int output
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO teste (nome) VALUES (@snome)
SELECT @nid = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
END
GO
CREATE FUNCTION insTeste
(
@snome varchar(50)
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @nid int
EXECUTE finsTeste @snome, @nid output
RETURN @nid;
END
GO
And then in the asp.net page I run a ExecuteScalar(StoredProcedure, "insTeste", params);
Thanks,
Dirso

Why do you need to create a UDF? You can get the value that you need directly from the SP.

I didn't know that... I thought I had to execute. Thank you very much! I just tried and it worked great!
Thanks,
Dirso

I'm assuming that you're using "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio";
* Rightclick on the table, choose "design"
* Rightclick on any column in the newly opened window, choose "Relationships"
* Click "Add"

Hello everyone!
I wonder is it possible to create SQL querie using FULL JOIN in Access 2003? When i try it i just get syntax error. So does anyone have an idea how to simulate full join in access?
Cheers!

Which error message do you get? Post your code to see where is wrong.
