Where does the 'DataDirectory' get put at? It's likely to be a permissions issue on Vista / Windows 7 if this is in the program files directory. Just guessing here as the actual error message was not included in the post.

Hi,
I downloaded 'SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.exe' from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17876 but when I go in Visual Studio 2010 to Add Connection I only see Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 and nothing for v4.
Am I missing something? Is there another download I should install? The system is Win7, 64bit.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I use this
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name datatype to add column in table. How to use Alter Query to add column in query? I use MS Access 2003.
|

You can't add it.
Depends on what you mean by 'query'.
In terms of procs you must replace the proc either by using 'replace' or 'drop' and 'create'. Which one depends on the database.
If the query is other code then the code must be updated.

for example I have 1 query in who participate 3 columns in 2 table and I want to add 1 column in first table and column in query will be 4. I want do this with code.

As jschell indicated, you will need to use an alter statement to replace the existing view with a new one.
Here is a site that has more detail about how you alter a veiw in Access (I didn't think it was posible, but then I havent worked with MS Access since 1997)

Not sure I understand what you are saying.
However you appear to be referring to that you now have the following:
select t.a, t.b, t.c from...
And you want the following:
select t.a, t.b, t.c, t.d from...
The problem with that is that SOMETHING is using the first query. And it is not going to magically use the second one. At best (depending on a number of things) it will simply do nothing at all. At worse something will fail in a way that makes it difficult to determine what happened.
So the best case has no impact - so no point in trying to change it.
In the worst case many things fail - so not point in trying to change it.
Thus it follows, what you think that you want to do will NOT work.

alter exists column datatype.
alter table tblname
alter column columnname datatype(variablesize)
or
add new column................
alter table tblname
add columnname datatype(variablesize)

For an existing Access database holding around 100 queries, I'm looking for a comfortable way to export the actual SQL statements that represent those queries; ideally I'd like some (C#) code that generates a DataTable, with columns queryName and SqlStatement. Alternatively, a command or script that tells Access to create a text file holding such information. Or some magical SQL snippet that creates a new table in the database itself.
To be perfectly clear, I need the SQL statements, not the results of the queries themselves. And I'll need to run it a couple of times in the next few months, so I don't plan on doing it manually, one by one!

Thanks for the quick response. I managed to solve my little problem with the first reply I got.

Problem solved, using "good" old DAO from C# isn't that hard after all, and all that was required is this:
public override void GetQueries() {
DAO._DBEngine dbEng=new DAO.DBEngineClass();
DAO.Workspace ws = dbEng.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", DAO.WorkspaceTypeEnum.dbUseJet);
DAO.Database db = ws.OpenDatabase(File, false, false, "");
foreach(DAO.QueryDef q in db.QueryDefs) {
env.log(0, q.Name+" = "+q.SQL);
}
}
Thanks for all the input!

I'm not a big fan of Oracle and am quite happy to delegate the coding of the more complex stored procedures to others. Because of this lack of knowledge I need some opinions.
When building a SP is it reasonable to create a series of strings and then EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to load the results into a temp table.
The proc is complex and there are a number of steps so the temp table is valid but I have problems with the use of concatenated strings. I would think this would negate any benefit from compiling the proc as this would on validate the concatenation of the strings and not their content.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is a generally accepted method of coding dynamic sql in PLSql.
I use this methodology and have not had any issues - yes it can take a bit to get the concatenation of quotes etc correct - however in the end this works fine.
If you are concerned about the content of the queries you could put the queries into a meta table and pull the queries in and build your dynamic sql at runtime.

My point is that I don't think EVERY query should be dynamic sql. It has it's place but not for every single query.

Not that this helps but...
I didn't know Oracle supported stored procedures, when I had to use it (1996-2001, Oracle 6?), we never used stored procedures, only PRO*C. And it was good.

You are correct, in terms of the naming convention they are called procedures - they are basically the same as Microsoft's stored procedures.
Also procedures can be stored in packages(basically classes).

Even way back when I was using it there were procedures (about the same time). I pointed out to the developer that I could more easily do the string concatenation in c#, as per your prefferred method, than have him do it in PL/SQL.
I pulled in another dev who has very good Oracle skills, the coding style will be changing to proper PL/SQL rather than dynamic sql.

Only if it can't be done using normal PL/SQL.
Which would mean almost never.

That was my opinion, but without the authority of experience I am glad to have it confirmed. That dev now has a refactoring (rewrite) job to do. Luckilly this was the first couple of jobs I have given him.
