That's a good way, but you could also write some SQL to do it:
SELECT * FROM query1name INNER JOIN query2name ON query1name.primarykey < > qurery2name.primarykey;
If you get anything back, you know that they return different results (at least in the current situation).

This would only verify that the same primary keys exist but does not necessarily verify that the other fields in the rows are the same.
|
|
|
|
|
But they are returning results from the same table, so if the primary key was the same, then the results would be the same, right?
Maybe I was taking it as a given that this was so - are you talking about comparing results from different tables?

The following two select statements return different results even though they return the same keys, so the results are different:
select prkey, name, address from mytable
select prkey, name, address, dob from mytable
So, effectively, the resultsets are different.

Are you using ADO 2.5 or ADO.NET? If you are using .NET, you can use the OleDbConnection class. If you are using ADO 2.5 (pre .NET) then you need to add "Provider=sqloledb;" as part of your connection string to the database.

hello @all,
if i merge one e.g. access data base in a c++ or a java program over ODBC/JDBC, must i have installed then access on the pc?
thank you very much

I think you just have to have the Jet database engine. This is installed when access is installed, but you can also redistribute it. I don't know what the licensing is, but you can probably find out on www.microsoft.com.

Is there a method to detect if a column has a primary key set, using ADO for C++.

I had created a database(SQL Server) few motnhs before but
unfortunately the database is now missing ,i have only the .mdf file of that database(.ldf is also missing),Can someone tell me how to recover the database from the .mdf file.
Thanx

You should be able to reattach the .mdf file to sql server. You can do this with Enterprise Manager, or the sp_attach_db system stored proc.
You may get a warning about not having the corresponding .ldf.

I tried the following
EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'pubs',
@filename1 = N'c:\mssql7\data\pubs.mdf'
But I am getting following error using the above Stored procedure
--------------------------------------------------------
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'c:\mssql7\data\pubs.mdf' may be incorrect.
------------------------------------------------------
But the physical path is correct.I also tried with
sp_attach_single_file_db but same error results.
How can i do the same using Enterprise Manager,It will be highly appreciated if u tell me step by step.

Are you using SQL Server 7? I can explain how I do it with 2000, but I assume it would be similar process.
Open Enterprise Manager.
Expand the tree until you find your database server instance. Expand that.
Right-click on Databases, select All Tasks -> Attach Database.
Browse [...] for your database file.
As for the error you are receiving, I don't know what the problem might be.
Was the file detached from the original database, or just copied? That may cause problems potentially. But I'm no DBA, so I can't say for sure.
Good luck

Hi all,
How can I create a textual dump of a SQL Server 7 database? I have used MySQL and it provides a feature to take a textual dump, with either structure or structure plus data. So if I want to create the same database elsewhere I can use the DDl statements in the dump to create the same tables.
There are other ways to transfer DB's in SQL server. But I'd like to know if SQL Server supports textual dumps or not. This is mainly for me to transfer a DB in SQL Server 7 in a remote offline system to a SQL server 6 in another system. The export-transfer-import mechanism fails somehow 
Thanks

Hi,
I want to call an INSERT into my access database via ADO.
To do that operation I use the Execute fonction.
CString query = "INSERT INTO Clinic
VALUE(ClinicID,ClinicName,Address,City,PostalCode,PhoneNumb,FaxNumber,Email,Notes)";
m_pCmdChange->ActiveConnection = m_pConn;
m_pCmdChange->CommandText = (_bstr_t)query;
// CommandText property already set before function was called.
m_pCmdChange->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdText);
Into my table, I have a fields named ClinicID that is a Access AutoNumber.
If I execute the preceding code, it work fine except the fact that I have to enter ClinicID that is a autonumber.
My problem is that if I do an execute() I have to add an imput for each fields including ClinicID.
So my question is How can I add a new record into my table without the obligation to enter ClinicID?
thanks
Everything's beautiful if you look at it long enough...

Sorry if I'm not understanding correctly, but I think you need to try this
CString query = "insert into clinic
( ClinicName
,Address
,City
,PostalCode
,PhoneNumb
,FaxNumber
,Email
,Notes
) values
( 'SomeClinicName'
,'SomeAddress'
,'SomeCity'
,'SomePostalCode'
,'SomePhoneNumb'
,'SomeFaxNumber'
,'SomeEmail'
,'SomeNotes'
)";

Well, I understand that you use ADO to insert the new record. The following code is stripped from VB code generated by the data form wizard in VB (with some changes), if you look at the code you'll find that no value was entered for the AutoNumber field, so I assume that if you use the INSERT command without specifying a value for the AutoNumber field it should work too (try it on your own).
There is an AutoNumber field customer_id which doesn't appear in the code, the value of that field is assigned automatically.
' ASSUMING YOU ALREADY HAVE A CONNECTION OBJECT db
'
Dim strSQLQuery As String
strSQLQuery = "SELECT Customer.* FROM Customer"
Set tblCustomer = New ADODB.Recordset
tblCustomer.Open strSQLQuery, db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
tblCustomer.AddNew ' HERE YOU ADD A NEW RECORD
tblCustomer!customer_name = "John"
tblCustomer!district_code = 55
tblCustomer!industry_code = 17
tblCustomer!entity_type_code = 12
tblCustomer!branch_code = 5
f_tblCustomer.Update

Here's my situation. I know nothing about database programming. I know lots about C++ and MFC and I use Visual C++ 6.0 but also have VS.NET 7.0. Someone has given me a machine with SQL Server and database on it. The database is not very big, maybe 1000 records. I want to get the database off the machine and I want to write an MFC application that will access the data and display it. I want to ship the application and I don't want people to have to have SQL or install anything extra to use the application. I'm sort of hoping that I can convert the database to some sort of file (maybe Access) and query it from MFC. The application would ship with the data and all reading and querying from the file would be local to the machine that the application is installed on.
How would people get started with this and does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed.
Thanks,
Brent

with such few records you can as well export the data in some sort of flat-file (e.g CSV). Read the file at program start-up into memory as a balanced tree or double-linked list or into a list-control.
Whenever you use some sort of database, you got to deal with a lot of prerequisites (is the proper version of MDAC / ODBC etc. installed?), so this aproach should be easier.

In SQL Server is it possible to have a trigger that will throw an event which could be caught by C# program running in the back ground?
Is this even possible? If it is, have u any links to help/examples?

I'm querying an MS Access database table from an ASP page using ADO. My query returns a number of fields per row. The last few fields are null when I access them from the ASP page, even though in the database they are not.
I'm guessing that this is because:
1) the data in all the fields combined exceeds the row's buffer size.
or
2)the number of fields exceeds the maximum # allowed(unlikely, but possible)
Is one of these correct, and if so, is there any way to either (1) increase buffer size or (2) increase max # of fields?
Note: I have tried re-ordering the fields and always the last few fields are null but no others.
