I am trying to connect to a database on an AS400 via ODBC and getting some issues with the connection string. I have searched and not found anything that will help.
My connection string is
Private Const RSEL_CONNECTION = "Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32- bit)};System=XXX; DBQ=LTL400TNT3;Uid=XXX;Pwd=XXX;"
My calling code is
Dim conn As OdbcConnection
conn = New OdbcConnection(RSEL_Connection)
My error
Message "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0." String
Any help would be much appreciated. Also, i need to do this via ODBC or OLEDB. I know this is slower, but I cannot use the beta managed database connectors available.
Thanks,
Scott

This is the best I can come up with:
SELECT TOP 10 FROM MyTable ORDER BY ClusteredIndexColumns DESC
Remember that the SELECT statement returns a set, and in a set there is no concept of order, so, in order to maintain this artificial order, to get the first 10 rows chance the DESC to ASC
The ClusteredIndexColumns are the columns that make up your clustered index, this is often the primary key.

Hi
Does anyone know how you check to see if a table in a database allready exists?
Hehe. Maybe I should give some more information here:
I have a direct connection to a Access Database via a OleDB Connection, and I am programming in C#.

select table_name
from user_tables

DataTable schemaTable = MyoledbConnection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables_Info,
new object[] {null, null, null, "TABLE"});
//The schema table's third column contains the Table Names.
//Explore this Table and the commands.
Cheers,

Hi. I have a webform that has several dropboxes that are dynamically populated from a ms access database. Im fairly new to database design. In my drop boxes i have add a "All" Item. which will allow me to search the database for all records.
my problem is:
Drop box one is listing several industries. (independant)
Drop box two lists several uses ( which dynamically change based on the industry selected)
Drop box 3 lists categories (independant)
drop box 4 lists options based on the selected category
I want to be able to search my table for records that match all of the user selected criteria.
im trying to use parameters and I cant figure out the best way to do this... I know what ive done probably isn't the best way to do this... but this is an example of how im creating my query string.
Sub CreateQuery()
Dim SelectPhotos As OleDbCommand
Dim Photo As OleDbDataReader
Dim strSelect As String
Dim SelectedIndustry As String
Dim SelectedUse As String
Dim SelectedCategory As String
Dim SelectedOption As String
strSelect = "Select * From Catalog1 Where "
SelectedIndustry = dropIndustry.SelectedItem.Value
SelectedUse = dropUse.SelectedItem.Value
SelectedCategory = dropCategory.SelectedItem.Value
SelectedOption = dropOption.SelectedItem.Value
SelectPhotos = New OleDbCommand(strSelect, conPhoto)
If SelectedIndustry > 0 Then
SelectPhotos.Parameters.Add("@selectedIndustry", SelectedIndustry)
strSelect += "IndustryID=@SelectedIndustry And "
End If
If SelectedUse > 0 Then
SelectPhotos.Parameters.Add("@selectedUse", SelectedUse)
strSelect += "UseID=@SelectedUse And "
End If
If SelectedCategory > 0 Then
SelectPhotos.Parameters.Add("@selectedCategory ", SelectedCategory)
strSelect += "CategoryID=@SelectedCategory And "
End If
If SelectedOption > 0 Then
SelectPhotos.Parameters.Add("@selectedOption ", SelectedOption)
strSelect += "OptionID=@SelectedOption"
End If
conPhoto.Open()
Photo = SelectPhotos.ExecuteReader()
Photo.Close()
conPhoto.Close()
lblTest.Text = strSelect
End Sub

This is nuts. Why are you concatenating string literals like this? You could do all this in one literal string:
insert into T(a,b) values (@a,@b);select @@IDENTITY as 'a' And as you can see this is much easier to read. I suspect there is something more going on here because you are unlikely to have a table named T with columns name a and b. So, we cannot see what your proper string is, which is the cause of your problem, because you have chosen to obfuscate it. This does not help us help you. If you need to obfuscate parts of the code then do that to code that is incidental to the problem, not directly related to it.
Next, what is this as 'a' on the end. I'm guessing this will confuse the query parser because the apostrophe is for string literals in SQL, not for naming columns. Use [a] or "a" - better yet, because you are using ExecuteScalar, don't name the column at all.

I want to take all the data from a column of a table. Foreach value i get, I used it as a field to my insert function into another table . I some kind like
for(int i=0;i
|
|

Yes, you could do it very easily like this:
string sql = "INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES (@value1, .....)";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@value1", SqlDbType.Int);
foreach(DataRow row in table1.Rows)
{
cmd.Parameters[0].Value = row[1];
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}It can be done with a stored procedure in the same way, only if you change the sql variable to the name of a stored procedure that takes one parameter named value1.
I hope it helps.

I means that we'll do all that things in a single store procedure, not in C# (include the way we take each row from a table). And then, in C#, we just call that store procedure to execute automatic. Can you help me?
Thanks your reply.

Ah I see. You could try this:
INSERT INTO Table2 (valueFromTable, fixedColumn1, ...) SELECT column1, fixedValue1 ... FROM Table1 I'm no SQL expert, but if I remember correctly, I once used something like that to copy a table.

it won't work until you don't provide a values statement into your insert

Yes, it works. I've used the following statement in a stored procedure:
INSERT INTO Shutters(ID_pedido, Fabricado, Precio, Descripcion, Tipo, Madera, Color, Acabado)
(
SELECT @ID_pedido, 0, Precio, Descripcion, Tipo, Madera, Color, Acabado
FROM Cotizacion_Shutters
WHERE ID_pedido = @ID
)</code>and it works as expected, copying some records from one table to another with most columns the same, and changing only the values of one column (Fabricado, set to 0).

Wow, it's too strange and really interesting  . I've never seen it before (even in SQL Help). You're right, it really works... Thanks a lot!

I've just found the solution. The way i solve the problem is using cursor :
declare @VariableName datatype<br />
declare CursorName<br />
for<br />
select TableColumn from Table1<br />
open CursorName<br />
fetch next from CursorName into @VariableName<br />
while(@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)<br />
begin<br />
Insert into Table2 values(@VariableName,...,...)<br />
fetch next from CursorName into @VariableName<br />
end<br />
close CursorName<br />
deallocate CursorName
The example i used here take just one column but you can use as many columns as you like. This cursor remind me while(Reader.Read()) in C#
Thanks your reply. I'm very happy to talk with you

I'm glad you solved it, but cursors are very inefficient. I would recommend you at least try my idea, it should work much faster. See my response to toxcct above; the code I gave you works.
