convert database oracle,sql server and access
from one type to another
thank's in advance

Doesn't Access have a wizard that can export to SQL Server as standard? Doesn't work with Oracle, though, since it's SQL Server-specific.

hi dear softdev
i build a database named "Alarms" but this is not important !
please attention !
i want to notify my windows application , not to notify any other objects in sql server!!!! (how can i use triggers to notify an application?)
and both of application and database will run in a local computer
perhaps i have to use "notification service"
but it is hard to implement and distribute it !
is there any other solution ?
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase help me!

That would be the best way, its not difficult if you read up about it. Otherwise all I can suggest is polling for changes

Hello,
I have been working with VB ADO for some time using Visual Studio 2003 and created several applications connecting to Excel with ADO. However, I have moved to Visual Studio 2008 now and have run into some trouble with the new DatagridView in the latest .NET version. Let me step through the process.
Upon 'Form_Load', I connect to my database, fill the dataset, bind it to my DataGridView in a different Form named, which is publicly defined and created upon startup. I utilize the DataGridView values to populate several text boxes and richtextboxes based upon the data. This is all working great.
The problem came when I tried to create other controls to manipulate this datagridView. The lines I am using to access this are:
Form2.DataGridView1.Item("ColumnName", CurrentRecordRow).Value()
Whenever I try this same line of code through a different subroutine (a button click for example) I get an index out of array error.
Through some troubleshooting, I have managed to discover that the 'RowCount' property of the DataGridView changes to '0' when outside the Form_load subroutine where I populate the DataGridView from the created dataset. (in the FormLoad, the rowcount is 236, when I click a button that shoots a messagebox with the Rowcount again, it says its 0)
This explains the 'index' fatal error generated, but not why the data seems suddenly 'gone' once the form has loaded?
Can anyone make a recommendation of what I may be doing wrong in accessing the data within this DataGridView?
thanks,
Grollub

1 Excel is NOT a database and should not be used as a database. I recommend that you change to either XML files for VERY small volumes or SQL Server/Express for more robust data storage. Take Excel out of the design.
2 When manipulating the data in a datagridview you work with the underlying data container (datatable probably)
3 Check the CurrentRecordRow using a break point, it is probably not set

Thanks very much for the reply.
1.) I agree whole-heartedly. Excel is not a database, I am just trying to get something up and running while I learn MySQL and implement. The spreadsheet is already in place, and I had hoped to get something quick and dirty up and running for those who utilize it... and then come back later and move the program to SQL. (under a time crunch).
2.) In this case, I have a dataset.. should I just move through the dataset itself (make this a public variable?) and just use the DataGridView to display the data?
3.) I checked this... and I set the value right above this... I have checked it using a breakpoint and the index I provide is valid... its just the datagridView that seems to 'lose' rows. Could this be a private vs. public variable issue?

Take a look at this article[^], it is designed to service the user control but may give you some ideas around the DGV, it uses an XML datasource.
Also look into the use of the bindingsource in the article, adds another layer but is quite useful.
Remember do NOT allow your users to do inline editing in a list control (DGV, listview). I force the user to a dialog for CRUD, supply a toolstrip with Add/Edit/Delete, double click the grid also does Edit. Pop a dialog with selected or blank record for the add/edit, write back to your data store before closing the dialog and reload the grid on a successful CRUD.
This may not suit the purist because there are multiple I/O to the database but it works very well and you can never lost data.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Is it true that,the database of Visual studio 2008 can't work with sql server 2008?
if it is false,
I want to connect to the sql server 2008 so I can connect but it doesn't work.
|
|
|
|

I was going to reply that VS does not have a database but realised you may mean the database designer, it certainly does connect to VS 2008 (although I never use it there would have been a LOT of noise if it didn't connect to sql server 2008).
Have a look through Connectionstrings.com for the syntax and search for some articles on connection to SQL Server

Hello all,
I am trying to execute following query but getting an error as amount us not a valid column:
select itemname,rate,qty,discount,(rate * qty) as amount,(amount -(amount * (disount/100))) as Total from ItemMaster;
Then i try:
select itemname,rate,qty,discount,(rate * qty) as amount,((rate * qty) - ((rate * qty) * (disount/100))) as Total from ItemMaster;
and it worked fine.
I need to execute queries which involves more complex expressions within them.
My doubt is, is there any way to run query by first method so that we don't need to write complex expressions again and again?
Thanks,
Nagendra.

try making Sql Server UDF (User Defined Functions)

There are a number of methods to achieve a semblance of this, UDF is one, in the above simplistic sample on you could create a view that calcs the amount column, you could create a table variable to hold the equivalent of the view, this would only be valid for the current proc whereas a view persists to the database.
I am in the habit of creating a view for my transaction tables, creating any calculated columns (amount) and joining to the foreign key tables (an example would be an OrderLine to Product table on the ProductID to get the product name in the view).

I agree with you View will be a good option

I would go with the view approach, a UDF can add a large overhead to a simple query, slowing it right down - much more than you would expect.

Take a look at connectionstrings.com.
What you have asked cannot be answered by a simple forum post, you need to do some reading and possibly a specialist site may help, SQLServerCentral.com is very useful.
This search of articles[^] turns up some interesting titles as well

Hi..
1) I was trying to create a IF Condition in stored procedure where i need to compare if old value and new value is present/not present in the database. Dont know the Syntax to write the above said query in Stored procedure.
2) I have created a variabl name 'add', 'change', 'remove'. The old value and new value are two different columns in the table. What i want is : If old value is null and new value is present then 'add' get incremented by 1, if old value is present and it has been modified in new value and if the old value string does not match with the new value then 'change' get incremented by 1, if old value is present and it has bee deleted in new value then 'remove' get incremented by 1.
Kindly help me out as early as possible as these is where i stuck for the last few days and i need to resolve this soon.

Congradulations, you found the correct forum to post a database question to. Now remove the one in the ASP.NET before someone answers there.

And this has had you stuck for days?
