I do suggest you get a book on PLSQL if you are going to continue to use Oracle (or any sql database). The problems you faced are straight observational details, you missed single quotes and brackets, this is probably from lack of practice so working through a bunch of examples will give you both practice and knowledge in SQL syntax.

Create a simple database, add a few rows, then test each variation to see what happens. Then you can write an article explaining it to us.

Hi,
I have a table in my sql report which has repeated values for the repeated values of one column.. something like master table with multiple values and detail table with multiplw values.
How can I implement it in sql report?
as i cannot insert a table inside a table!!...

I'm not sure what you mean by "SQL Report".  Are you using a report writer ?
Using a report writer, you would create 3 groupings:
1 Master level
2 child level
3 grandchild level
You can then place summary fields at each grouping footer and display headers for each group change.
Maybe list the data you are trying to report on and we can give a more detailed solution.

 sorry for the confusion,
i reworked the report, this is a sql report and am developing it using vs.
I need to take sum of the values in a table column but there is no way i can do that as all i can access in a new textbox are globals, fields and table textboxes don't figure in globals!!!
also master detail kind of display using the values from the stored procedure is unknown to me.

I don't think I can help you. I'm not experienced with SQL Report. I'm much better at Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

I have a stored proc that inserts data into four tables and the stored proc executes perfectly fine when executed in sql server.To execute the stored procedure from my data access layer I chose a method which call the method in class that connects to my database, but now when trying to run the whole application, it comes back to me with the "StackOverflowExeption" any idea what might be causing that? because the error occurs right on my connection string.

Hi all,
I am trying to write a procedure which takes 1 parameter as @StudentID and returns Student Information for the given StudentId Parameter form Student and StudentDetail table.
Now i want that if parameter is not passed(i.e NULL) then procedure should return all students information,but if StudentId passed then for that student only...
I am trying this by using COALESCE function in sql server 2005.
Following is DDL for my procedure.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetStudentById]
@StudentId AS NUMERIC
AS
BEGIN
SELECT
S.StudentId,
S.StudentFName,
S.StudentMName,
S.StudentLName,
S.Address,
SD.StudentClassId
FROM
[dbo].Student S
JOIN StudentDetail SD ON S.StudentId = SD.StudentId
WHERE
S.StudentId = COALESCE(@StudentId,NULL)
END
But not getting desired result ..When i am passing NULL 0 rows are returned.
please help me out...
Thank & Regards

Your coalesce is wrong. Try this
WHERE S.StudentId = COALESCE(@StudentId,S.StudentId)
what you were doing is saying when (@StudentId use null, what you really wanted to say was when (@StudentId is null don't compare - which effectively means compare to the column value.

I use the following
where (IsNull(@StudentID,0) = 0 OR StudentID = @StudentID)
and have done for years, I wonder if there is a benifit to using COALESCE. It is certainly more elegant than using the OR method.

For years I used the same sort of thing, then I went to
where IsNull(@StudentID,StudentID ) = StudentID
but apparently COALESCE is preferable to isnull - not sure why in this instance. Its certainly good where you have several possible values, such as
select coalesce(val1,val2,val3) as mainvalue

hi,
I am using .NET to query indexing server (search engine for our Intranet)
If the user searches for "the" or "a" etc they will get an error page stating - The query contained only ignored words.
What is the best way to catch this and deliver something meaningful back to the page.

There is need to acquire a potentially large images (250 KB - 2.5 MB) from the client computer, now this has to be sent over the wire to the central DB. Question is, would it be advantageous to say, insert it into the local DB (on the client) and then have the local DB then post it to the central DB? This way, I should be able to maintain program response time fairly snappy. On the other hand, I could pipe it straight to the central DB asynchronously or on a separate thread. What do you suggest?

I would use the second thread method, having a local database that is communicating with the remote server implies WAY too many fracture points.

I was thinking that last night.

Why fracture points? I see it as a second, local copy/backup if you will. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I see something like a sql express copy locally where you write the graphic to it. Then you need to have the local DB copy/replicate to the server. How were you going to get the local database to move the record to the server.

That's exactly what I was thinking of.

Most likely a trigger. Once insertion is complete, then the DBs can take their time sending it over the wire.

Trigger is how you initiate it, how are you goung to get local db to talk to server db, this is the crucial question as I think your options break down to the following or some kludge connection.
Linked server
SSIS
Web service
I'm not sure express supports this tech
I would consider installing and maintaining a local db to be an outrageous cost for this requiremment. What happend when you move from Dev/UAT to production servers etc.

I was considering a Linked Server but the more I think about it, the less appealing the idea becomes.
