Hi Victor,
Thanks for your quick response.
Do you have the phrase How I have to implement.
Thanks

Usually you don't include the password for the sa-account in the question. Usually we also frown on "SELECT *", and weirdly, you use a "using" clause for the connection but not for the disposable command.

Hi Bastard,
I have removed the password and this is only in a test enviroment,
And what do you mean with

Thanks

A select all, versus a select where you only select what you will use. You're now fetching more than expected and this may have an impact on speed.

You put the connection in a using-block, but not the command. Any reason why?

Hi all,
I have it working know.
The solution is in the SQL string.
SELECT ID_BHV_Users, Voornaam , Achternaam , FORMAT (Geboorte_Datum, 'dd/MM/yyyy'), Porto_Nummer , Format (EHBO_Behaald, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , EHBO , BHV , Regiseur , Format ( Verlopen, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Format (Laatste_herhaling, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , EHBO_nummer , verdieping , Ruimte , Email , Mobiel , Opmerking , Format (BHV_Behaald, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Format (BHV_Verlopen, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Format (Laatste_Herhaling_BHV, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Ruisnaam , Format (Regisseur_Verlopen, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Format (Regisseur_Behaald, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Format (Regisseur_Herhaling, 'dd/MM/yyyy') , Active_no_yes FROM BHVUsers"
I use the format in the SQL string
You All thanks for putting me in the right direction.
Thanks

Well that is even worse than where you started from. Do not use formatted date strings but use proper date values and Date types. Also use proper parameterised queries to avoid SQL injection problems.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for reaction.
Can you give me the right way how to do is.
I now about SQL injection problems but this not connected to the internet and only in my test environment.
Thanks,

I have a product that offers a small lead management system. The architecture of product is simple so far. I have tables called 'companies', 'users', 'leads'. Users within a company have CRUD rights on leads. Now companies want their agents to have rights to operate leads. So we can ask companies to add their agent as a user within the company but there is a problem. Each user needs to have a unique email to register. So if one agent serves 5 companies they can't be added as a user by each of them. What should be the ideal way to handle this.
Thought of having separate database for each company so that problem of unique email is resolved but I'm not sure how to manage multiple databases for updates
|
|
|
|
|
You may want to change the "key" to the Users table to be a compound key.
Something like Company ID + user email, this would ensure that within a single company, the email is unique.
|
|
|
|
|
With company id + user email, the sign in logic will fail.
Right now user can sign in with email as its unique.
|
|
|
|
|
Add another table with 3 fields
AgentID PK
UserID (could be the email if it is the PK in the user table) - FK to users
CompanyID - FK to company

I have an ecommerce shop online using php, sql, javascript,ajax and sessions.
I have both guest and members cart options at checkout.
Everything works fine.
I store my cart items in a session currently.
Users can log in or have a guest cart.
Guests cart userids are referenced by the current session id.
members can login and their carts are referenced by their usersids from the database.
The problem is, the session expires after a certain amount of time and so the cart items are lost and the user has to start again.
On doing some research I have found that after the user logs in, I can store his user id in a cookie and I can specify how long that cookie lasts for which is ideal!
I am thinking of changing the code so that I store the items added to the cart in my database tables and simply reference them with the user id ive stored in his cookie.
That way He can shop for ages and not lose his cart and I can send abandon cart emails etc...
I think this would work well as nearly every website uses cookies so people have to have them enabled in their browser these days. I could show a warning message if cookies arent enabled anyway..
What does everyone think about this?
Please note I am not seeking security advice here.

Let's discuss this in a bit proper detail with the application of performance, security and regulations.
You can store anything that is publicly available on your website, and does not contain any personal or identifying information in a cookie. The reason for this is, that a user might be accessing your website from a public machine or PC and that data might be tracked or stored. Next, for a session you can use this storage to store any information that might identify (because, hey, that is what a session is about, right?) the user and help your website perform an operation quickly—without having to query the database again just to find out their user id, or email address. Do remember that on most frameworks (if not all), session data is sent to the client too.
Now as per regulations, make sure you are requesting permissions from the users to store the cookies on their machines—European regulations require you do that, and then there is GDPR, and etc. etc.
Now as for the database part, this space is expensive and filling it with the content that does not help you in anyway—let us for a moment ignore the analytics, user studies, machine learning for recommender systems, etc.—and they will only take away the space that you should pay for the content that helps you generate some business profits.
What I would recommend here is, store the cart information in the cookies, just reference the URLs of the items they want to purchase. This way, the cart information will be stored locally. This will decrease the overall load on your web servers, and will not cause extra charges in the database storage as well since your users will be storing their interests locally and won't add a cart option in database, and forget it leaving there forever.
One tip I can provide here is to use localStorage APIs, instead of cookies, because cookies also have a round trip from and back to server, adding an overhead on the HTTP request.
Window.localStorage - Web APIs | MDN
In this approach, of course you will end up showing what John wanted to purchase to Johanna as well, and that can be fixed by storing the session id(! Remember, store only the session id not the user id and then verify that the sessions are same for the user—which can be done by some backend algorithm to check if user ids of the sessions are the same  )

So lets say I have a table (Ports) with an Identifier and then a compacted not XML field that is semi structured.
select * from Ports --Yields this.
ID Categories
1 Town:York, Street:Main, Phone:712-542-3423
The Categories field might have two fields in it. Town and Street or it might have 15.
I need to get these out into separate fields as soo
ID Town Street Phone
1 York Main 712......
ideas on SQL SQL server 2016 is what we are running.
Ideas?

Not particularly simple, since different rows could have different "attributes" within the categories column.
Something like this should work:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #T;
CREATE TABLE #T
(
ID int,
PropertyName varchar(50),
PropertyValue varchar(50)
);
INSERT INTO #T
(
ID,
PropertyName,
PropertyValue
)
SELECT
T.ID,
LTRIM(LEFT(V.value, CHARINDEX(':', V.value) - 1)) As PropertyName,
LTRIM(SUBSTRING(V.value, CHARINDEX(':', V.value) + 1, LEN(V.Value))) As PropertyValue
FROM
YourTable As T
CROSS APPLY string_split(T.Categories, ',') As V
;
DECLARE @columns nvarchar(max) = STUFF
(
(
SELECT DISTINCT ',' + QUOTENAME(PropertyName)
FROM #T
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'nvarchar(max)')
, 1, 1, ''
);
DECLARE @query nvarchar(max) = N'SELECT ID, ' + @columns
+ N' FROM (SELECT ID, PropertyName, PropertyValue FROM #T) As T'
+ N' PIVOT (Max(PropertyValue) FOR PropertyName In (' + @columns + N')) As P';
EXECUTE (@query);
DROP TABLE #T; The @query will look something like:
SELECT ID, [Phone],[Street],[Town]
FROM (SELECT ID, PropertyName, PropertyValue FROM #T) As T
PIVOT (Max(PropertyValue) FOR PropertyName In ([Phone],[Street],[Town])) As P

Thank you. I was hoping there was something easier than this. I have like 30 fields to actually deal with. Oh well. Brute force it is. <grin>

If you have the option of pulling the data into C# it would be a lot easier (likely) to change the data in C# and put it back into SQl.

Depending on how dynamic the table is (I would think Ports would be rather static) I would brute force the categories into separate table(s) and either use Richards pivot or a monstrous view with 30 left outer joins. Then when you get a new Ports just run the brute again to parse the Categories.

Hi again!
I have a doubt:
Let's say I have a tasks table:
---------------------
Tasks Table
---------------------
id : INT (PK)
idProject : INT
idUser : INT
idTaskType : INT
idInvoice : INT
date : DATETIME
start_time : DATETIME
end_time : DATETIME
pricePerHour : FLOAT
notes : LONGTEXT
---------------------
Then I have a types of tasks table:
---------------------
Tasks types table
---------------------
id : INT (PK)
name : VARCHAR(45)
---------------------
Then I have a types of tasks table:
---------------------
Tasks types table
---------------------
id : INT (PK)
name : VARCHAR(45)
---------------------
Also a users table
---------------------
Users table
---------------------
id : INT (PK)
idGroup : INT
name : VARCHAR(45)
---------------------
And a projects table
---------------------
Projects table
---------------------
id : INT (PK)
idCustomer : INT
notes : VARCHAR(200)
---------------------
And a reference prices table
---------------------
Reference prices table
---------------------
idProject : INT (PK) -> foreign key to Id at projects table
idUser : INT (PK) -> foreign key to Id at users table
idTask : INT (PK) -> foreign key to Id at tasks types table
pricePerHour : FLOAT
---------------------
My idea is to have specific prices depending on the project, the user and the task to be performed.
As you can see there are two pricePerHour fields (one in the "Reference prices table" and one in the "tasks" table).
I've found that in some projects prices change during the project... so it would be able to change the prices on the fly...
What do you think if my GUI uses the reference price as basis to assign the task price?
That way I would be able to change the price of each task if needed (renegotiating...).
Is there any better way to do that?

Based on that design, you can't have an entry in the reference prices table until you have an entry in the tasks table. So you wouldn't be able to use the reference price (that doesn't exist yet) to set the price when you create the task.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the reference prices table to link to the task types table?

WHOA! yes, that's a typo, I've done like this in the MySQL Workbench...
I did not wanted to paste all the SQL script here... maybe too much...
Knowing you are right and that I had like this in my original design, do you think it can work well?
PS: already modified the original post.
Thanks Richard!

It sounds reasonable. We use a slightly more complicated version of something similar in our airport management software.
