We've had some periodic problems at one of our customers' sites where apparently simple queries will appear to block forever, and we've not worked out why. Our solution to that is just to run sp_updatestats. I'm not sure why it works but it seems to.

For a Windows form using VB.NET and an Access database of community events.
I have a DataAdaptor and DataSet that create a datatable with a row for each event. I also have a DataAdaptor and DataSet that create a datatable for sponsoring organizations.
I would like to have a combo box to choose the organization (bound to the organization table) and then populate the event combo box with a list of events sponsored by that organization. The user would then choose the event and the rest of the form controls would fill with the information for that event.
How would I create a subset of events based on the sponsoring organization? Do I create another DataAdaptor and DataSet through code to create an event table based on the organization chosen?
The books I have describe how to create DataAdaptor and DataSets through code, but once created, is there a way to destroy them and create others based on choosing another sponsoring organization?

If so; I think u have two tables, one has organisations list, others has events then assume two table is related to each other with OrganisationID.
1. Warn = use Just ONE DATASET, if not, it s painful.

Friends,
I have two tables A and B, the id is the primary key field of table A and is a foreign key of table B. There is one-to-many relation b/w the tables. It means that id can repeated in second table many times.
I am using inner join to join the tables on the basis on id. As such the result is that: for each id of table A, all matching id records of table B gets printed. So far, so simple and so good.
Now the problem is that in the result set, same id is repeated many times because there is one-to-many relationship b/w tables. What i want is that in result set each id should appear only once. How can i do so ???

I'll assume this means "between". Please use only standard abbreviations - it helps make your post much more readable.

That is correct. Performing an INNER JOIN is effectively creating a resultset in a denormalised form.

The question I have is: why? I cannot see how that is beneficial. Unless what you really want is the table on the many side aggregated into only one row.
Do you want to know more?

I suspect that the OP's problem is that the mapping should be one-to-one, but that there's no UNIQUE constraint on one of the tables, and duplicate rows have been added.
You should always, IMO, apply constraints at every point to ensure that you have data integrity. It helps to prevent bugs. If you really have circular references, you might have an excuse for not using a constraint. Otherwise you always should. Performing partial initial updates is just lazy - you should work out on the client side what the complete relation is, then INSERT.
However, in the past I've had to do things like joining a master table onto a transaction log of changes and extract only the most recent change. Nasty. What I ended up doing was using a join to a group on the right-hand side of the join, something like:
SELECT a.id, a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3
FROM a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT b.id, b.b1, b.b2, b.b3
FROM b
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT id, MAX(b3) AS maxb3
FROM b
GROUP BY id
) b2 ON b.id = b2.id AND b.b3 = b2.maxb3
) c
ON a.id = c.idMessy but it works. Except where you have identical values of b3.
The correct solution is to add a constraint using NOCHECK to stop further bad data being added, fix the bad data you already have, then alter the constraint to add WITH CHECK.

Please First Write your SQL Sentence, i assume your problem is that u use * as asterix after SELECT command, write just field names u want to show.

Autonumber and Max+1 which is Best for long term
What are their advantages and disadvantages
please answer these question with solid reason
Tariq Mahmood
Software Engineer
|
|

if u need sequential ID serie , MAX+1 is the best. Because sometimes in rollbacked transactions, AutoNumber is generated but it is not used and ,in a new record, u may see number series like 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 (that means in 5th saving,something went wrong, and data wasnt saved to database but autonumber generated)
if u doesnt need sequential ID serie , AutoNumber is best. Because when u insert a new row to database,First u have to read Max number, then increase that number after checking that value is null either not.Sometimes to control this value is painful
|

If you're ever going to have more than one user acces your database, then you have to use AutoNumber. Max+1 could potentially give problems if two people (or processes) inserted into the datbase at the same time.

 When I read the book "teach yourself SQL in 21 days", day 7, first example::
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE TABLE1.SOMECOLUMN =
(SELECT SOMEOTHERCOLUMN
FROM TABLE2
WHERE SOMEOTHERCOLUMN = SOMEVALUE)
When I tried this subquery, it doesn't work in SQL-server 2000 at all ! After that I searched online, then found that I have to use "IN" instead of "=" to express the subquery.
I am confused ! Why the book writes like that? Is this an old SQL ? SQL is supposed to be universal, why I cannot use above example in SQL2000? I also found some other places which is not wworking in Sql-server 2000 environment.
Please help me on this silly question.
Thanks
Dennis

First Be Carefull,
u can use both of them but there is exceptions.
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE TABLE1.SOMECOLUMN =
(SELECT SOMEOTHERCOLUMN
FROM TABLE2
WHERE SOMEOTHERCOLUMN = SOMEVALUE)
command is TRUE but "SELECT SOMEOTHERCOLUMN FROM TABLE2 WHERE SOMEOTHERCOLUMN = SOMEVALUE" will be produce JUST ONE RESULT, NOT MORE. So to use any aggregation Function in this case is more true.
For Example;
USE NORTHWIND
select * from Orders where CustomerID =(select MAX(CustomerID) from Customers)
In this case, not just (=) equals sign, Also u cant use (=!,>,<,>=,<=,LIKE)
But some times we get more result from 2nd command.In this case u have to use IN keyword.
For Example, U need Orders information belongs to Customers in London.
if u execute "SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City ='London'" u see 6 records. then write command for our first aim :
USE NORTHWIND
select * from Orders where CustomerID IN (select CustomerID from Customers WHERE City='London')
I hope u got what u need.
So u can get a result set that contains six different customers' Orders Informations.

I'm Beginner
Hi,
I created a function with Datareader object in DataAccessLayer side that I would like to pass to my Client Layer. What I can see that I cannot pass the DataReader itself because in a case of DataReader the connection must be open and close after. The goal is populated a combobox. How can I pass this to my clientLayer? Any idea for a beginner like me will be great.
Thanks,
Davy

If that`s your goal, why not just pass an array of data?

Hi,
I wanted to be sure there is no specific way to do this.
As you said, passing array make sense.
Thanks for your help.

Hello to all who can help:
I am interested in importing an 83 million record file into ms sql 2000 using c#.net/ado.net and export it to a xml file.
Below is the query that I tried to use to compare two tables, CLIENT and MASTER, and remove rows in CLIENT of the Phone "column" that matches the MASTER table.
Then export CLIENT out again to a xml file.
Help!
----------------------------------------------------------
sqlConnection connclient = new SqlConnection("integrated security=SSPI;" +
"data source=(local);initial catalog=Client"); private void
butDelete_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { try { sqlCommand sqlDelete
= new SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Client FROM master" + "WHERE master.Phone =
Client.Phone"); connclient.Open(); if (sqlDelete.ExecuteNonQuery() > 0) {
lblMsg.Text = "Record has been sucessfully deleted!"; RefreshList();
ClearText(); } else { lblMsg.Text = "Sorry, could not access database due to
the following error: " + ex.Message; } finally { connclient.Close(); } } }
Thank You very much...

Hi
I have a very very simple web application that does only one thing - tries to open a connection to SQL server.
On my PC it works fine. Connection is opened immediately!
But when I put that application on my host server I get this error "General network error. Check your network documentation."!!
The code is:
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.sqlConnection1.Close();
this.sqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "Data source=myServerIPAddress;Initial Catalog=dbName;User ID=user;Password=passwd";
try
{
this.sqlConnection1.Open();
}
catch(System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ex)
{
this.Label1.Text = ex.Message;
}
finally
{
this.sqlConnection1.Close();
}
}
Doeas anyone know why is that so?
I tried tu turn pooling off, set bigger timeout but useless!

I've seen a similar thing when using Names Pipes if you don't have sufficient authentication to connect to the server. Are you using names pipes? If so, try changing to TCP/IP and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then its a security issue.

The problem was that, that my host-server and sql server wad in one domain and they use different internal ip addresses, but I was given a different sql server address so I could reac it from outside the domain.
So I got the real ip and everything works fine!
Thanx

We have a VB6 application that uses an Access DB. One of our customers has reported that edits to the database are not there when they go back into the record. The structure is something like:
The function is to add reciepts to a customers booking.
Edit record (create reciept record)
Commit changes (ado commit to reciept recordset)
Call routine to update log in another database (log of changes to booking including receipts)
Print Crystal report with reciept details.
Close reciept form
refresh booking form with new balance.
Everything looks OK and the reciept prints off fine (data must be in tables correctly for Crystal report to pick it up). the problem is over the past week on 4 occasions the end of day reports which list cash taken are less than the actual cash taken (reciepts are missing from the DB). I have looked at one example and although i have the printed reciept there is no evidence of it in either the main DB or the log DB. The commit has been completly reversed out.
Any ideas?

The Jet database engine is not capable of recovering from bad writes. If data is missing, it's usually that some kind of hardware problem has occurred: power failure, disk errors, memory errors, etc.
I would check the file server holding the MDB file very thoroughly.
As I said, Jet is not capable of recovering from these errors. In the long term I would suggest moving to MSDE (SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine) or, when released, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which both have these capabilities.
