What do you mean by "select 7 days record from the table"? Do you mean that you want all the records from the table for the last 7 days? Or do you mean that you want the top 7 records from the table irrespective of date? Or do you mean that you want all the records for the most recent 7 days which are actually in the database (which chronologically may range over more than 7 days if for example you have no entries at the weekend)?
Each one of these will require a different query. None of which are particularly straightforward given the way in which the dates are stored in the table.

Hi
I am planning to implement a custom version control system.
Is there anyway to represent physical directory structure in database?
Or should I represent them using 'tree' data structure?
If using tree data structure, how can I save the contents of tree to an external file??
thanks

which version of SQL are you using?
If SQL Server 2008, you may want to look at the FileStream Datatype[^]
I guess you can create a self referencing table [ heirarchical ] and either use the datatype above or file path and have some code to export it out. I dont know exactly what you want to do but it seems dangerous
|
|
|
|
|
Along with the filestream storage you can use the hierarchicyid you define your tree structure but you are going to have a coordination problem between the physical structure and the hierarchy in the table.
The filestream will not allow you to move the files via explorer so that would be one benefit.

Hallo,
Did anyone solve the problem with a Boolean Column in a datatable for .net / c#?
I am new in Oracle development and want to convert my database to oracle. But there is no Boolean datatype with SQL and I want to display a gatagridview column as a checkbox. With Postgres or MSSQL there were no problems with that. But with Oracle I search a elegant solution.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Boolean datatype is not defined by ANSI.
So either you'll have to use a number or a char, for example: flag char(1) check (flag in ( 'Y', 'N' ))

I have installed Oracle 9i I want to install now ( Oracle forms 6i ) ...On inserting the installation CD...the "Oracle installer" screen appears ..then "Oracle installation settings" form appears ..Here we have to specify
Company Name:xyz
Oracle home details
Name: OraHome92
Location: C:\oracle\ora92
Language: English
With theses entries when I click OK button, the following error message with the Title "General Information" appears:
The location specified "C:\oracle\ora92", is already used as an Oracle Home for 'Oracle 82 Beta'. It can not be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'.
The OS am using is Windows XP Professional with
Pentium 4 ...Please help me out...Thanking you in advance.

Try to rename c:\oracle\ora92

You probably need to check on some registry entries. Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE. There may be an entry about an Oracle Home that is no longer valid and can be deleted.

If you search the Oracle forums you will find several threads discussing this issue. I haven't read them in detail but from what I can gather, the installer doesn't like installing Forms 6 and Oracle 9.2 to the same home location. There are a number of suggestions to work around it in this thread:

Here's my quandry: I am creating a new table that's holding records of message sent within the system. One of the fields is what type of message is being sent which currently falls into only 3 options.
Currently, it's likely that this is not going to change that much but I'm trying to work out if it's better to create a new table to hold these and thus enforce referential integrity or simply not bother and rely on the enumeration on the code end.
Queries against the data is likely to want grouping by message type but with only 3, it just seems a bit overkill.
Any suggestions?
|
|
|
|

From a purist standpoint, it would be better to create a parent table like:
MessageType
ID int,
Description Varchar
and create a constraint against your Message Table to ensure that only valid message types are created in your table. You won't pay much (if any) performance penalty because your parent table is so small.
That's my vote.

I want to update a column of one table A with column of another table B.
for one entry of A, B contains 2 or more entry. Say A is super table of B.
I wrote a query like this
UPDATE SendSet SET oDate = (Select oOrder.oDate from oOrder where oOrder.oID=SendSet.oID)
WHERE Exists (Select oOrder.oDate from oOrder where oOrder.oID=SendSet.oID);
DB is MS-Access.
But it gives error :
Operation must use an updatable query !!
You attempted to run a query that tried to update a field that cannot be updated. For example, you may have created the query in such a way that you tried to update a field on the one side of a one-to-many relationship.
any help ?
|
|
|
|
|
You can use a join in your update query. Please check out how to do a join.
|
|
|
|
|
Without knowing the relationship between table A and table B, I can only suggest that you use something like this:
update SendSet inner join oOrder on SendSet.oID=oOrder.oID set SendSet.oDate=oOrder.oDate;
You need to work out what exactly you need to do this update.
Happy programming!

I have downloaded the beta 2 of MS visual Studio 2010.
I'm not very familiar with database projects. I've walked thru the MSVS2008 example for deploying a database to a server. This method entails building directly to a server you have access too.
I'd like to know if there is a user friendly way to script out and install a database using MSVS2010 for a server you know nothing about at the time; ie you are developing a solution that needs to be installed at a client's network?

Hi
to get the values for TableC you can use this query:
SELECT TableA.NewId, TableB.OldName, TableB.OldAddress FROM TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON TableA.OldId = TableB.OldId;
If you want to insert the data from this query into tableC it must be something like this (not really sure):
INSERT INTO TableC VALUES (SELECT TableA.NewId, TableB.OldName, TableB.OldAddress FROM TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON TableA.OldId = TableB.OldId);
Hope this helps...
Regards

Hi,
I have a logger written in T-SQL (Stored Procs) writing to a log table.
When there are exceptions a log row is written, but then when the outer transaction rolls back it also rolls back the log entry.
I would like to have the log entry (i.e. row) to be inserted and persisted regardless of what the outer (nested) transactions are doing. The log entry should never roll back
Could someone point me to a solution using T-SQL?
Thanks
