I've never seen it do that before. Is it a big table? Does it have the relevant indexes on it?

small table. with only three records. We use it as a heartbeat table so that other apps know that my app is still working.

Yeah.
It's strange. I might see if there is a SP for it.

Have you tried Running a Query from enterprise manager on the table? You can get only the row or rows you need and then update from the results pane in the Query builder.

yeah. If I do an update on that field, passing NULLS, it works fine. I just cannot click in that field, delete what's in there and click out of it. if I do it freezes up.

Pressing Delete in Enterprise Manager is not the same as resetting to NULL. Delete will update the field with '' (Empty string)
If you want to update the field to NULL in Enterprise Manager press Ctrl-0

If I create and XP, and I want to connect to my
XP. How do I go about doing that? Will i do an execute from my app?
Right now I do all my selects and updates using a connection pointer like this:
m_pConnection->Execute(_bstr_t(mySelect),NULL, NULL);
Will I also connect to my XP this way? I'm making an XP that will alert me to a trigger in a table that I have set. So that any new record placed in there will alert me so that I do not have to loop every 3 seconds to see if there's new data.
Thanks

As far as TSQL is concerned, an XP is the same as a normal SP. If you can execute SPs using this method (I don't see why you can't), then you should be able to execute XPs also.

cool I'll try it. Just gotta write my XP and find out how to return a value. I'm going to assume that, that is the same as SP's too?

Hi everybody, I'm building my very first database application.
I have an Access database and I work with ADO with C# + Jet 4.0. I have 3 tables in my database.
For now, my dataAdapter is constructed like this, to work with only one table:
myDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From Table1", myOleDbConnection);
But now, I want my DataAdapter to work with my 3 tables... what should be my connection string?
"Select * From Table1, Table2, Table3" ??? Probably not...
Thanks!!!

Your connection string won't change. A connection string is per database, not per table.
In order to return info from more than one table, you will need to use a JOIN.
Here's a SQL Query I am using for a product of mine - also MS Access:
SELECT Staff.FirstName, Staff.LastName, ClassSchedule.ClassName, ClassSchedule.Duration, Staff.ID
FROM (StaffClassSignIns INNER JOIN Staff ON StaffClassSignIns.StaffID = Staff.ID) INNER JOIN ClassSchedule ON StaffClassSignIns.ClassScheduleID = ClassSchedule.ID
WHERE (((StaffClassSignIns.ClassScheduleID)=[@ClassSchedule]));
Cheers,
Simon

FTP has very little capability built into it. You won't be able to execute anything other than a file transfer or directory listing using it. You'll need to write a proc on the server to save a snapshot out of the database to a file. Then you'll need to write a set of code that does a put to the FTP site.
If you are looking to code part of this in .net you can look into the FTP library from edt

Hope that at least points you in the right direction.

I've got a problem. When adding an index to a table using either the Index manager or index tuning wizard the application hangs and no index is ever created. The table I'm trying to add the index too is in high demand so I figured it was some kind of "leave us alone - we're busy" kinda thing, but still, it's frustrating.
Anyone have experience or suggestions about this?
cheers,

I think you'll have to fall back on Query Analyzer and CREATE INDEX.
Alternatively you could ALTER DATABASE cp SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK AFTER 60 but you will obviously get an outage!
The index build process has to inspect every row in the table on which it's defined, so it's going to take a while anyway. If you're trying to build a clustered index it will have to restructure the entire table, so be prepared for this to take a very long time.
If your tempdb is on a separate spindle, you may get better performance by using the SORT_IN_TEMPDB option. Without this option it sorts in the actual pages to be used for the index.
I admit that most of this information came from my copy of Inside SQL Server 2000!

Tried that one. It's a small (8000 row) table, non-clustered. Hmmm.

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.
