Create the client side IAccessor with a binding of DBTYPE_STR and it will do the job for you

Has anyone used this particular feature with Oracle databases and to success? I'm researching using this feature within an application in order to remove the redundant userid/password prompt that is presently used. The intent is to force user's to logon to the domain first before they can run the application and having done that, to *NOT* be prompted for a userid/password combination by the application. Just wondering about any tips, hints, or war stories that someone else may have.
Thanks.

What characteristic does a program need so that a client app can interact with it through a custom made OLEDB provider?
Ernesto Moscoso Cam

Read the OLEDB 2.0 Reference guide. The interfaces that are mandatory should be supported by the custom OLE DB provider. A client should simply create an instance of data source object using CoCreateInstance etc, then obtaing the data source initialization interface. After that its simple COM programming to trace through various interfaces using QueryInterface etc. But you must refer to the custom provider documentation for which optional interfaces are exposed.

Hi,
I am trying to set up my database with the table storage and the index storage in seperate filegroups. To do this I am trying the following SQL :
CREATE TABLE ClosingArea (
ClosingArea_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
ClosingArea_Name VARCHAR(64)
) ON MM32TABLES;
ALTER TABLE ClosingArea ADD CONSTRAINT CLOSINGAREA_PK PRIMARY KEY (ClosingArea_ID) ON MM32INDEXES;
However this initially creates the table in the MM32TABLES filegroup but the "ALTER TABLE" statement changes the table storage to MM32INDEXES when I obviously only want to store the index in that filegroup.
Any ideas why this is happening or how I can do what I want ?
thanks in advance.

This is because the table and primary key (or clustered index) have to be on the same filegroup. You can create a table on the MM32TABLES group and then create a non-clustered index on MM32INDEXES.

I am trying to write an out of process com server that is capable of passing back to the client over the network a _ConnectionPtr. It is really a simple 2-tier application. But although the pointer I am getting back looks valid I get an error when I try and open a recordset using the connection returned.
Can anybody help.
I can post some sample code if that would help.
Cheers

Thank you! 
I need to allow upwards of 10 District Managers remote access to an Access Database. These Managers will be spread out across Canada. Would it make sense to use an ASP or to use some software like PCAnywhere?
I am kinda stuck and would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you so much,
Josie Marent

Well, both ASP and PCAnywhere could be good solutions.
If you use PCAnywhere you need to write your application in access, because all the users would be using remote control of your server.
With ASP you need to write the application using Active Server Pages, so I guess it depends on what you know most about.
If security is a great consern for you, and the users access the app. using the internet, I would go for ASP, maybe using a SSL connection to encrypt the pages.
If a hacker hacks your webserver he have a harder job taking over your server, than if he hacks a server running PCAnywhere...

Hi all,
I'm using ADO for accessing a MS Access database file in a DLL. I then use this DLL in my application. The problem happens when I try to start any NT service (for ex, IIS Admin Service) and my application at the same time: my application seems to hang forever. I put some debug logging and find out that it get stuck in a function _RecordsetPtr->Open(...), I then try to use _ConnectionPtr instead, it also get stuck in _ConnectionPtr->Open(...). I am very confused and I don't know what's going on. Have anyone encountered this problem before? Please help.
Thank a lot,
Rocky

Visual C++ 6.0, sp5
NT4, sp5
I'm working on an app that uses ADO to access an oracle database. The following code is part of the function that opens a recordset (try/catch stuff removed for the sake of brevity):
Fields* m_pFields = NULL;
SAFE_CALL(m_piRecordSet->Open(vSQL, vConnection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText));
int m_nRecordCount = m_piRecordSet->GetRecordCount();
SAFE_CALL(m_piRecordSet->get_Fields(&m_pFields));
...and this is a code snippet from the function we use to close the recordset:
if (m_pFields)
{
m_pFields->Release();
}
SAFE_CALL(m_piRecordSet->Close());
m_piRecordSet.Release();
m_piRecordSet = NULL;
The problem is with the m_pFields variable.
The first 10 or so times we call the function containing this code, it's a valid pointer. On or about the nth time, the variable is NULL. Actually "not initialized" would be a better description of it's state, because if we don't set it to NULL before calling the get_Fields() function, it's value is 0xcccccccc.
As far as I can tell, we close the recordset when we're done with it. Otherwise, we'd get an error message from Oracle saying we have too many open cursors.
Has anyone got any idea why this might be happening?

Hi,
I use Visual C++ 6.0 SP 4 , SQL Server and oledb
I create a class to connect to my database. In my constructor i initialize com library like this :
CoInitialize(NULL);
In my destructor i release com library like this :
CoUninitialize();
If i use this class to execute for exemple an sql query ( store procedure), my functions open, execute, close,... work.
But if i close my application ( OnOK ) , two seconds later i obtain the following acces violation message :
EXCEPTION(c0000005 acces,@40f919) EBP184f0b8 EIP40f919)
ASM 45 fc 8b 08 8b 01 52 ff 50 08 8b e5 5d c3 cc cc cc cc cc cc
EAX:184f618 EBX:dc0110 ECX:383439 EDX:383439 ESI:dc0064 EDI:184f664 ESP:184f0b4
The suspect function is _Release() throw() which is in a Visual C++ include file ( in Include\COMIP.H )
// Releases only if the interface is not null.
// The interface is not set to NULL.
void _Release() throw()
{
if (m_pInterface != NULL) {
m_pInterface->Release();
}
}
But if i comment out CoUninitialize() instruction, my code work without acces violation.
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Cheickna

Yeah, I think, the problem is the following: when you call a destructor, the code within the destructor is executed, then the destructors of the base classes (reverse order of constructors). So when a base class calls Release or any COM function, the Com Library is not available any more and the code GPFs.
I solved the problem like this:
struct ComStarter {
ComStarter() { CoInitialize(NULL); }
~ComStarter() { CoUninitialize(); CoFreeUnusedLibraries(); }
}
class MyConnection: public ComStarter, public _ConnectionPtr /*or whatever*/
{
// here your code
~MyConnection() { ... }
};
This guarantees that CoInitialize() is called as the very first, and CoUnitialize() as the very last function.

I have had this symptom before, and my problem was that I had amulti-thread app and I didn't Always marry the CoInit with the CoUninit.
I had two solutions, make sure every thread calls Coinit and CoUninit correctly
(as I had a bug) and use CoInitializeEx(Multithread)!
This my be a different problem to yours, but then again it may not!

if any body can please help me out, i have to replicate the data of client site to server now the problem is which method should i addopt and which one will be the best in what circumstances, If i use any of the following way.
1.text format
2.Recordset(ADO)
3.XML
or what will be the benifit and disadvantage of any of these method.
Is there any othere method also to transfer the data to remote site???
please answer either on board or on bin_omair@usa.net
Thanx

Well, if both the databases are SQL-Servers I would use the Data Transfer or the Replication in SQL Server.
To get a better answer, you'll need to be more specific, in what it is you want...

I'm having major problems using nested outer joins with
SQL Server 6.5 and ODBC.
I'm following the documentation to the letter but I'm getting
the error "The column prefix '' does not match with
a table name of alias used in the query"
I do not get errors when using Oracle.
Does anyone have an example of nested outer joins?
Many thanks.

I think they had limits on the nesting. What does the Oracle query look like?

I am running a large links database at http://www.scoutinglinks.com so record paging is a must.
My problem is that many of my users are still using Netscape 4.x. These user can view the first page with out problems, if they select a link the next page they receive "the parameter is incorrect" error message. I have confirmed the error through testing, the reports are accurate.
I have rewritten the function numerous times, the last method I found here at The Code Project "http://www.codeproject.com/asp/rspaging.asp" with the same result.
If anyone has ever experienced this and found a solution your suggestions would be appreciated. I have asked these users to upgrade to Netscape v 6, but we all know how that goes. I have also tried finding a Java solution but really don't want to rewrite the whole app.
Again, any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Bert
