Hi,
I am writing a few extended stored procedures for SQL Server database. A few of the functionality limitations for which I could find any answers are as below,
- How can we pass data that is larger than 255 characters to the extended stored procedure as parameter? Similarly is there a way to pass the long data results back (basically strings with length > 255)
- How can we use the resultset returned by the extended stored procedure as a virtual table in the T-SQL functions/procedures?
Has anyone else come across these limitations? Kindly share any possible logical solution to overcome these situations.
Thanks in anticipation 
Anil

Hi All,
I am writing a multithreaded application in Visual C++ 6.0, which uses ADO to connect to either an access or sql database.
My question is, since many of my threads want access to the database, for both reading and writing, what do I need to do to thread safe it? Can I just have one global _ConnectionPtr and allow all the threads to use this, or do I need to wrap it in a section?
Many Thanks,

How can we update or change the content of a text file using triggers? If anyone have solved this problem earlier please help me.
Thanks

I have created a regular dataset using the following statement:
[CODE]
DataSet myDS = new DataSet();
. //initializing code to create the neccessary
. //tables, columns and constraints
.
[/CODE]
but then when I created a datagrid and attempt to assign my dataset and datamember with my dataset and datatable respectively via the properties menu, the editor failed to recognize my dataset!
I have tried to check my dataset and verified that it's okay.
What puzzles me are the following questions
Firstly, why doesn't the controls recognize the dataset?
If I have used the Visual Studio.net's GUI editor to create the dataset and define the tables and columns there, the datasource property actually recognizes it. Further investigation reveals that it is a class that inherits from dataset(correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, if I intend to code my own dataset of this sort, what should I do and what interface should I derive from?
I thank you for your patience for reading up to this point. And I really do appreciate if anyone here could help.
My thanks in advance.
 The confused one

I beleive it has to be added to your form to be seen by the wizards. If you use a custom dataset this can be a pain. Depending on the application, you can build your datasets into a dll and then add them as a component on your toolbar where you then drop the on your form and that seems to work well. Not sure of other methods to make them see them.
I think it would be a great feature if there was some attribute that could be added to any collection that would allow the wizard to see it and add it to a form without having to go through hoops. For me, I usually put all my datasets and data managers into a Data abstraction layer, so most of the time the wizards are useless unless I use the dll method above.

Hi,
I've written a stored procedure which should return a specific value and has an additional OUTPUT parameter. Here goes the code:
<br />
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Update_AddresseInfo<br />
<br />
(<br />
@UserID int,<br />
@DateModified DateTime,<br />
@ElementID int,<br />
@Street varchar(50),<br />
@City varchar(50),<br />
@ZIP varchar(50),<br />
@NewDateModified DateTime OUTPUT<br />
)<br />
<br />
AS<br />
declare @RetVal int<br />
declare @DateNow DateTime<br />
set @DateNow = GetDate()<br />
<br />
-- do some stuff <br />
<br />
UPDATE dbo.AdresseInfo SET<br />
Street = @Street, <br />
ZIP = @ZIP, <br />
City = @City, <br />
DateModified = @DateNow<br />
WHERE<br />
ID = @ElementID<br />
<br />
if @@ERROR = 0<br />
begin<br />
set @NewDateModified = @DateNow<br />
set @Retval = 0<br />
end<br />
else<br />
begin<br />
set @Retval = 2<br />
end<br />
<br />
-- log this event<br />
exec LogEvent @UserID, 1, 1<br />
<br />
select @Retval<br />
RETURN <br />
Unfortunately the NewDateModified does not contain what I expect, eventhough I've created a SqlParameter object with the correct Direction. I guess the problem is somewhere in my SQL code.
Any help is greatly appreceated.

At a guess, @@ERROR isn't being set to 0.
Have you tried setting the value outside the IF to see if it gets returned?

Hi Michael,
thanks for your response. Yes, I've thought about this as well. But even putting it outside the IF doesn't yield correct results. I'm posting an extract of the code which is actually executing the SP here. Maybe I'm just blind...
<br />
int nResult = 0;<br />
DateTime dtResult = new DateTime(0);<br />
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(ProcName, Open());<br />
<br />
try {<br />
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;<br />
<br />
-- do stuff and and all params...<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("ElementID", ElementID));<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("DateModified", DateModified));<br />
<br />
SqlParameter prmNewDtModif = new SqlParameter("NewDateModified", dtResult);<br />
prmNewDtModif.Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output;<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(prmNewDtModif);<br />
<br />
nResult = (Int32) cmd.ExecuteScalar();<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
I've just put the stuff in which seems to be relevant. Variable names are selfexplanatory I guess.
Any ideas?
Matthias

I'm not au-fait with all the ins and outs of ADO.NET but shouldn't the Parameter name match the stored procedure?
i.e @NewDateModified rather than NewDateModified

Post your ADO code where you get NewDateModified out of the command object...

Hi DTrent!
Thanks for your reply. Your sole proposal has answered my question ("out of the command object..."???  )
I assumed, that the value gets automatically assigned once the SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() call returns. I didn't know that I have to retrieve the SqlParameter.Value property and assign it then to the variable which I passed to that parameter. Seems kind of weird to me, in the end I'm asking why am I assigning the variable in the first place?
For those interested, here the code:
<br />
int nResult = 0;<br />
DateTime dtResult = new DateTime(0);<br />
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(ProcName, Open());<br />
<br />
try {<br />
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;<br />
<br />
-- do stuff and and all params...<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("ElementID", ElementID));<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("DateModified", DateModified));<br />
<br />
SqlParameter prmNewDtModif = new SqlParameter("NewDateModified", dtResult);<br />
prmNewDtModif.Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output;<br />
cmd.Parameters.Add(prmNewDtModif);<br />
<br />
nResult = (Int32) cmd.ExecuteScalar();<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
if (dtResult < dtSomething) {<br />
}<br />
Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know how to automate a trace that constrains on the DBID?
I have created two scripts, one to create a job that is sceduled to start when the sql agent starts. It contains one step that executes the stored procedure that contains the trace definition and creates and starts the trace on the target server and database.
The problem is when I constrain on the dbid everything gets created and the job starts successfully but nothing is written to the trace file. The only events captured by this trace are login, logout and failed logins. The scripts work if I remove the dbid constraint.

Hello, not even sure if this is the right forum for this question but here
goes..
I'm writing a NET Data Provider for our DBMS and got everything working
except one thing. Populating a DataGrid..
All other parts of the Data Provider framework are all interface-based and
therefore rather easy to implement/override as needed, but the DataTable
isn't!
So when my TTDataTable (derived from DataTable) gets notified over TCP/IP
that a cell has changed it's value and I update the DataTable using
something like:
Rows[updateRow.RowId][cell.Ordinal] = cell.Value == null ? DBNull.Value : cell.Value;
Sooner or later the application will throw an exception somwhere in
System.Windows.Forms.dll whith no callstack at all, very ennoying.. 
This happens I _think_ is because the DataTable implementation does not do
something like this when firing the event:
<br />
<someevent>Handler eventTarget = <someevent>;<br />
if ( eventTarget != null )<br />
{<br />
if ( eventTarget.Target is ISynchronizeInvoke )<br />
{<br />
ISynchronizeInvoke target = eventTarget.Target as ISynchronizeInvoke;<br />
target.BeginInvoke( eventTarget, new object[]{ this<,more params if needed> } );<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
eventTarget( this, e );<br />
}<br />
One solution would be to throw the event myself in the OnRowChanged method,
but unfortunatly the onRowChangedDelegate (and also the rest of the event)
seems to be private, so...
Another solution would be that I have totally missunderstood how to properly
deriving from a DataTable and populating/updating it from another thread and
if so, I really hope someone here can show me how.
Or *gasp* could it be a bug/bad coding/feature from MS? o.O
BTW when not adding the TTDataTable to a grid but instead simply sinking the
events and tracing the events using Debug.WriteLine or to a console, it
works, thats why I think it's a "updating a form from the wrong
thread"-bug..
I have tried this
<br />
public class TTDataTable : System.Data.DataTable<br />
{<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
private void Process( UpdateRow updateRow )<br />
{<br />
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( "UpdateRow" );<br />
foreach ( CellInformation cell in updateRow.Cells )<br />
{<br />
Rows[updateRow.RowId][cell.Ordinal] = cell.Value == null ? DBNull.Value : cell.Value;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
and
<br />
protected override void OnRowChanged(System.Data.DataRowChangeEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
System.Data.DataRowChangeEventHandler eventTarget = onRowChangedDelegate;<br />
if ( eventTarget != null )<br />
{<br />
if ( eventTarget.Target is ISynchronizeInvoke )<br />
{<br />
ISynchronizeInvoke target = eventTarget.Target as ISynchronizeInvoke;<br />
target.BeginInvoke( eventTarget, new object[]{ this, e } );<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
eventTarget( this, e );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Problem with the above is this error: D:\Projects\Abaris\TrueTime Solutions
AB\TT 7.0\CLR\Abaris\TrueTimeSolutions\Clients\Data
Provider\TTDataTable.cs(139): 'System.Data.DataTable.onRowChangedDelegate'
is inaccessible due to its protection level
Or in a nutshell, as a .NET Data Provider, how do I make it possible to
display data from our eventbased Realtime DBMS in a plain vanilla DataGrid?
I know I can also write our own datagrid, but why reinvent the wheel...
TIA/
Michael Hulthin

You have to ask a better question. Just posting some code and saying help me is not enough. What is wrong with the code? What error is happening? What is it supposed to do? And, what does it do?
Answer these questions and you might give enough information for someone to help you quickly.

Take a look at your select statement. classid and nclassid will be evaluated as literals making them part of the string. Your select statement would then look like "select * from brand where class_id=classid..." instead of "select * from brand where class_id=5..." which is what you really want. Be sure to force the evaluation of these variables before executing your query.

Actually, you don't EXECUTE functions. You do that to Stored Procedures.

Are you sure? I've checked the books online and I cannot see anything about running functions with the EXECUTE COMMAND. I also created a sample, on the Northwind database, to try out.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.AllProducts()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN(SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS)
Then I tried to execute it like this:
EXECUTE dbo.AllProducts
I got an error message
Server: Msg 2809, Level 18, State 1, Line 1
The request for procedure 'AllProducts' failed because 'AllProducts' is a function object.

Its very strange,I have not test it myself before but this is from my Online Book for EXECUTE command:
Executes a scalar-valued, user-defined function, a system procedure, a user-defined stored procedure, or an extended stored procedure

To run a User Defined Function (or UDF) you need to do something like:
SELECT * FROM dbo.MyFunctionName()

Depends on the type of function, that is, what it returns. If it is a value you can just use:
set @MyValue = MyFunction(MyParameter)
If it returns a table, you would probably use it in a FROM or where you would normally specify a table.
