I'm using Carlos Antonilli's ado class in VC6, and when I try to compile the project, I get the following error:
<br />
ado2.cpp(241) : error C2065: 'adExecuteRecord' : undeclared identifier<br />
Anybody have any clues for me?

This is constant used by ADO. so, you need to include the adodata.h file for them or replave constants with values.
So,
Either include
#include "adodata.h"
in your project or
Replace
adExecuteRecord with 2048

I don't have a file called "adodata.h".
Should I?

Can any one help with the following. I am using a datagrid to display data from a sql database. There are other processes that update the database in the background and I want to display the most current data to my user. So I periodically update the displayed data by re-filling my bound dataset from the database. If the user has scrolled the datagrid down from the top then when the refresh occurs the datagrid scrolls to the top and the user loses his view of the area that he is interested in. I want to be able to update the displayed data but not have the datagrid scroll or alternatively I want to be able to scroll the datagrid back to it's previous position under program control. I have tried to use the NavigateTo method but this causes an exception and does not do what I want. This must be a common situation and I'm sure that I'm missing something. Suggestions please.

Is it possible increment/decrement and such a DataColumn through the Expression Property?

(Using VC++ 6.0 - I will not use .NET for this project, so don't bother suggesting it)
I want to have as little impact on the user's installation requirements as possible. In other words, I only want them to have to install my app and maybe a newer version of MDAC, but nothing more.
I'm pretty new to this database stuff. (I think) I want to use an Access97 data source, and I need to be able to create the database programmatically (including keys, indexes, and relationships) because the file won't be there when the app is intitially executed.
It's going to be a fairly small database with 7-10 tables and the largest table will have under 2250 records (worst case).
Is ADO a good choice? I'm planning to make use of Carlos Antollini's ADO class article.
Can someone recommend a decent book that covers both ADO and SQL?
Any other suggestions (not including the use of .NET) are welcomed.

I'd recommend not using Access if you can help it. If you own SQL Server, you can distribute MSDE to your clients. Then you can use stored procedures, which IMO simplifies the data layer enormously. Also, you can install SQL Buddy or similar and be able to browse the data on a client machine if you ever need to.

Why not Access?
I don't own SQL server (that I know of).

Because Access is crap. I just bought the developer edition of SQL Server for $89, so it's bound to cost around $40-$50 in the states. That gives me the right to distribute MSDE (which is SQL Server, but cut down so it doesn't like to have more than 20 ( from memory ) users at once - perfect for a desktop app ). Access does not support stored procedures AFAIK. That alone is the end, as far as I am concerned.

The DTL is a pretty nice way to talk to databases from C++. Makes recordsets look like STL collections and does a pretty good job with disconnected data.
Much nicer than the whole Recordset.Next() thing.
Uses ODBC, so access should be fine.

From my experience I think ADO is good choice. I have been using Carlos Antollini's ADO classes for a few years now, in combination with Access2000 data sources, without any problems. All those apps had limited users (max 10) and relative small databases.
I have been using the classes in VC++ 6.0, VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003.

Hi All!
I need to put a column in a table and want that column to store the date at which that particular row was updated or some new row is added into the table.
I am doing this to check when the table is updated.
Kindly guide me for creating such a column in SQL.
With best regards,
Zee_Zee

If you want to store the time a row is inserted, create a default on it with a value of getdate()
e.g.
create table foo<br />
(<br />
bar datetime default getdate()<br />
)<br />
If you want to know the time a row is updated, try using a trigger and setting the time (via getdate) in the trigger.

Hi all,
I have a problem. I have a database "Users", there are usernames, passwords, and other information, and I'm doing on the registration page - I want to be sure there will be no duplicity of usernames - I searched the old comments but it didn't help me, I have written this code:
Dim vilemConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
vilemConn.ConnectionString = "...."
'Here I set the Select command
Dim selectCMD As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Users", vilemConn)
Dim vilemDA As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
vilemDA.SelectCommand = selectCMD
Dim cb As SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder = New SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(vilemDA)
vilemConn.Open()
Dim vilemDS As DataSet = New DataSet
vilemDA.Fill(vilemDS)
Dim vilemDR As DataRow = vilemDS.Tables(0).NewRow()
vilemDR("jmeno") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtJmeno.Text)
vilemDR("prijmeni") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtPrijmeni.Text)
vilemDR("trida") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtTrida.Text)
vilemDR("email") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtEmail.Text)
vilemDR("login") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtLogin.Text)
vilemDR("heslo") = Server.HtmlEncode(inputHeslo1.Value)
vilemDR("skin") = Server.HtmlEncode(dropdownSkin.SelectedValue)
vilemDR("image") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtImage.Text)
vilemDS.Tables(0).Rows.Add(vilemDR)
vilemDA.Update(vilemDS)
vilemDS.Reset()
vilemDA.Fill(vilemDS)
vilemConn.Close()
Although I don't know what SQL command I should use (and please send me all the syntax of it, with txtLogin.Text added, because I have problems with this - I am absolute beginner in SQL)
So I don't know what SQL command I should use, where should I place it and how to execute it, because I don't want to rewrite the Select command for later adding of the new record.
This is my experiment completed with msdn and this forums, either correct it or don't mind it, it doesn't work
'Nastavení příkazu SQL pro vyloučení duplicity
Dim NoDuplicityCMD As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users WHERE login= " & txtLogin.Text, vilemConn)
'NoDuplicityCMD.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users WHERE login=@txtLogin.Text"
Dim a As Integer
a = NoDuplicityCMD.ExecuteNonQuery() 'is it good place to execute the query and should I write a= noduplicity... or only noduplicitycmd.executenonquery...
Response.Write(a)
Thanks very very much for your answers.

First and foremost - For SECURITY. NEVER pass a value directly from a user control in to a SQL Command. This is suseptable to injection attack. What would happen if, in the txtLogin box, I had written
''; shutdown with nowait;
The answer is that your CommandText would fully read:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users WHERE login=''; shutdown with nowait; This would run your SELECT and then immediately terminate your SQL Server Process - any other queries would fail and no new connections would be permitted. And you (or your DBA) would have to manually restart the SQL Server.
Okay - now that you know more about security I'll get on with your question...
I would always interact with the database using stored procedures. You add a layer of security there if you only permit access to the stored procedures, then all you can ever do is what the stored procudures can do.
CREATE PROCEDURE RegisterUser(
@UserName varchar(64),
@Password carchar(64)
)
AS
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM Users WHERE login=@UserName)
BEGIN
RAISERROR('The user '+@UserName+' already exists', 16, 1);
RETURN;
END
INSERT INTO Users (login, password)
VALUES(@UserName, @Password)
GO
Then from your .NET application you can do something like this
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("RegisterUser", vilemConn);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserName", txtLogin.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Password", txtPassword.Text);
try
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch(SqlException sqlEx)
{
}
This SQL and .NET code will register a user if one does not already exist, if one does exist an error is raised which you can then handle as appropriate.
Sorry, but I can only read VB.NET code, I don't know enough VB.NET to create the VB code without referring to a lot of books. Hopefully you will see what I am trying to achieve with the C# code - remember it is the Framework and not the language that is important here.
You will also need to add as parameters and extend the stored procedure for the other items in your table.
Does this help?

Hi,
thank you for your reply, it helped a lot. However, I wasn't able to run it. It says this error:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'RegisterUser'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'RegisterUser'.
Source Error:
Line 82: cmd.Connection.Open()
Line 83: cmd.Parameters.Add("@Password", inputHeslo1.Value)
Line 84: cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Line 85: '
Line 86: 'Dim vilemDA As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\VilemWeb\Register.aspx.vb Line: 84
Here's a code:
Dim vilemConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection<br />
vilemConn.ConnectionString = "...."<br />
<br />
Dim cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("RegisterUser", vilemConn)<br />
cmd.Connection.Open()<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserName", txtLogin.Text)<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Password", inputHeslo1.Value)<br />
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()<br />
cmd.Connection.Close
and the stored procedure is here:
ALTER PROCEDURE RegisterUser<br />
( <br />
@UserName varchar(64), <br />
@Password varchar(64)<br />
)<br />
AS<br />
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM Users WHERE login=@UserName)<br />
BEGIN<br />
RAISERROR('The user CurrentUser already exists', 16, 1); <br />
RETURN<br />
END<br />
INSERT INTO Users (login, heslo)<br />
VALUES(@UserName, @Password)<br />
RETURN
BTW: It said an error when I had written in RAISEERROR '+@UserName+' instead of CurrentUser, don't you know why?

For the first problem it looks like I missed the line:
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure You need to place this between creating the cmd object and the cmd.ExecuteNonQuery.

Ah! Just realised that RAISERROR doesn't like strings being concatenated inside it. Weird!?!
Anyway, try
DECLARE @error_message varchar(256);
SET @error_message='The user '+@UserName+' already exists.';
RAISERROR(@error_message, 16, 1);
Hopefully it should work out now.

I'm not sure about that, I have to admit I've had 8 years to get used to the style. But thanks for the compliment, it is very welcome.
Have a great weekend.

Just wanted to say that I thought your reply here was really good. I agree - I would never build a database that didn't work through stored procedures. I was shocked to find out that MySQL does not support them, I immediately stopped considering it when I found out.

Really! I heard also that it doesn't support transactions either (although there is supposed to be some sort of plug in that gives this functionality). That is the biggest showstopper for me.

I am porting an enterprise level 3-tier C++ application to C# with a tight timeline. I am confused with the database jargon in .net Can somebody advice me on which objects/wizards can satisfy following requirements:
1. Compatibility with multiple database vendor (Oracle and MS SQL to start with)
2. Transactional control
3. Ability to fetch XML from query results
4. Ability to operate on views and execute stored procedures
Can some expert guide me?
|
|
|
|

1. .NET provides classes optimises for MS SQL, but also has a generic set of classes that I believe can connect to anything that is generally connectable to
2. Why don't you control transactions in stored procedures ?
3. The SQLCommand class has an ExecuteXMLReader method that should do this
4. The SQLCommand class does this all, you just give it the stored procedure name, tell it that it's a stored procedure and add to the parameters collection. Make sure any parameters that are not just 'in' parameters get set to whatever they are, or they will never come back to you.
Overall, I recommend buying the ADO.NET book from Microsoft, it answers all these questions and is a good reference to have.
