Hi
I would like to know how to create a view in Access???
In SqlServer there is a folder "Views" where u can create views in a very simple way.
Searching with google i found that in access are used sql queries instead of views, but didn't understand well.
Thanks bye

For that there's word 'Queries' Access .

View is nothing but the result of query. In SQL you can see the result as Views, But it isn't a physical data. It's just returned result of query.

View in SQL = Queries in Access.

I am working with "SQL Server 2000 SP3 2000.80.760.0".
How to write recursive query for next example ? (I use .net c# to query database, and my knowledge of SQL is limited ...)
All queries are done from the same table (lets call it "parts_table").
Let say I start with "part_ID" = 1001 --> query returns 120 "subpart_id" (1002, 1004, 2030 ...)
then I execute same query 120 times and get n subparts for each of 120 subpart_ID from first query and so on
until there are no subparts left. As you can see the number of queries can increase very fast ...
Table: "parts_table"
id part_id subpart_id
1 1001 1002
2 1001 1004
3 1002 2150
4 1002 3250
5 1004 1250
.
Part description for "part_id" is in separate table "part_info". I use join to get info for "part_id" ...

Why you need to run query 200 Times ?
There's way in SQL to achieve anything directly rather then looping it. it's not a good practice and having overhead to Query engine.
Either way you can IN in SQL Like,
SELECT * from table where subpart_id IN (SELECT subpart_id FROM parts_table where part_id='1001')
Your question is not quite clear on what you want to exactly achieve.

It is recursive. And stated explicitly as such and also implicitly defined as such in the post.

I still haven't finished thinking about this from when you asked it before in the C# forum. Did you try the TVPs? Oh, right 2000.

I am rather certain that your given table structure requires looping. You can use either actual loops or procs (recursive) for this but the result is the same.
Doing it in the database would probably be better than C# (per your other post.)
If you can modify the table then there are probably other solutions.
See the following link and drill down on the sublinks on it as there are other solutions.

You might also try googling with the following: sql hierarchy query -cte

I'd like to create a SQL statement which would do such thing:
Having a table/query of these columns:
number of type integer
text of type text (string)
I'd like execute such a SQL Statement:
SELECT number,concatenate(text)
FROM table
GROUP BY number
Resulting rows should contain concatenation of every value in column "text" for each number value.
Is it possible at all?

Yes, That is possible.
Suppose Consider AdventureWorks DB
First create UDF fn_Join as Below,
USE [AdventureWorks]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER function [dbo].[fn_Join](@managerID int)
returns varchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
DEclare @ret varchar(max)
SELECT @ret = SUBSTRING(
(SELECT ',' + s.Title
FROM HumanResources.Employee s
WHERE ManagerID = @managerID
FOR XML PATH('')),2,200000)
RETURN(@ret)
END
That will give you a concatenated string of all the Title by giving ManagerID as a INPUT.
Now write the query to fetch all the distinct ManagerID and it's corresponding concatenated Title
select distinct ManagerID,dbo.fn_Join(ManagerID)
from HumanResources.Employee
WHERE ManagerID is not null
That's will give you a desired result.

Thanks but I'm afraid this does not work with MS Access. There is no straight way to create function or procedure or I don't know about it.

You could've mentioned MS ACCESS at a database.

I also don't know as I've not worked much on ACCESS.

With MS Access I had to use VB function which does similar thing. Anyway thanks for an idea.

Hey all,
I am trying to construct a basic search query and am having trouble with my wildcard searches.
I am using C# Visual Studio 2008 and the dataset query designer.
The part of the query I am struggling with is:
WHERE (Land_use_code LIKE '%' +@Landusecode1 + '%')
However, when I run the query, it doesn't perform as I would expect.
There are multiple table entries, with some as follows:
R1
R3
R30
If I enter R and run the query, it returns nothing. If I enter R1, it returns all that match R1.
If I enter R%, it will return R1 and R3, but not R30. If I enter R%%, I will get all records.
I am wondering of a way to enable me to enter R% and get all records returned.
Thanks,
Joe

I think there is a problem with the quotes.
with a literal search, it would have to look like this:
WHERE Land_use_code LIKE '%R%'
so the entire literal string (with the percent signs if any) is inside quotes, as it is a string literal, not a numeric literal.
I'm not sure how that works with a variable in SQL.
FWIW: In C# it would be:
new SQLCommand("...WHERE (Land_use_code LIKE '%" + Landusecode1 + "%'");
BTW: you didn't mention what database was used; different databases might use different wildcard characters, and there could even be a character matching any single character, and another matching any sequence of characters.
|

Thanks Luc,
I am using SQL Server 2008.
So with your C# example there, you are passing in the variable Landusecode1 to the query and then applying the wildcards aren't you.
If that is how I need to approach it then I can manage to sort it out, I just thought there might be an easier way (as you said - possibly a multiple character wildcard).

Hi Joe,
This page[^] suggests SQL variables can sit inside quotes (I know PHP does that), so it could be as simple as:
WHERE Land_use_code LIKE '%@Landusecode1%'
Beware the (absence of) spaces inside the quoted stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
From the look of it, the original
Land_use_code LIKE '%' + @Landusecode1 + '%
is the correct way. I might need to look into using combo boxes with equals|like in it to control the results a bit more, and code the query as necessary from those.
Just a bit more than I wanted to have to do! But no doubt it will be good experience!
Thanks for your help

No way, you really need the percent signs and the known content all inside a single pair of quotes.
Where is yous snippet sitting, inside a programming language or inside an SQL procedure? maybe show a bit more of it, and somebody will fix it for you.

It's sitting inside a datasource as a query (so similar to a stored procedure?) and then executed via a button and a table adapter in the programming language.
This is the full query as it sits at the moment:
SELECT File_Name, PID, Address_1, Address_2, Locality, Municipality, Postcode, Sale_date, Sale_price, Total, Capital_value, Land_area, Land_use_code, Room_count, Building_area, Construction_year, Wall_construction_code, Roof_construction_code, Land, Rate_1, Val_Ref, Source FROM vSaleSearch
WHERE (Municipality = @Municiaplity1 OR Municipality = @Municipality2)
AND (Locality LIKE @Locality + '%' OR Locality = @Locality1 OR Locality = @Locality2)
AND (Land_use_code LIKE '%' + @Landusecode1 + '%')
AND (Sale_price >= @Sale_Price1 )
AND ( Sale_price <= @Sale_Price2)
AND (Sale_date >= @Sale_Date1)
ORDER BY Sale_price
I'm trying to achieve the same thing on the locality. What I'd ideally like is for a person to be able to enter a string in the locality field and it take it as an "equals" query. Or include a wild card at the start or end to take it as a like and apply the wild card characters.
At the moment it achieves half of that, but not as user friendly as one might hope... I see what I want to happen all the time, but of course I'm not sure how exactly it is done...

When the query is a string built in a programming language (say C#), then this[^] seems to show the way. Basically, apply the wildcard characters (if you want them, this might depend on a CheckBox being checked) to the parameter before you set up the SQLParameter, then write your query without any quotes.

|

Add the percent signs to the parameter value.
parm.Value = "%" + foo + "%"

And if you enter R%%% do you get no records?
Via SQL Server 2005 directly I am unable to replicate what you are seeing.
Joe Stansfield wrote: I am using C# Visual Studio 2008 and the dataset query designer.
It is possible that the latter is the problem.
In Server 2005 (not the designer) I get exactly or at least close to the behaviour you describe when I use the underscore rather than the percent sign. Especially when you try the different input values.
Even if the SQL created excluded the percent signs from your where clause when you entered them manually it should still work. Instead with a single one you get only a single match. With two you get a two character match. That suggests the underline (single character match.)
Presuming there isn't some other assumption that is wrong - such as that you are actually running some other query because this one didn't get applied.
Simple test. Remove the percent entirely from the expression. Then test with input values: R, R_ and R%.
Those should give different results. If not then I would suspect that there is some other assumption that is causing the problem.

Sorry about the delayed reply - christmas / new year break over here in sunny Australia!
I tried all of the things above, and get identical results when using R% as I do R_. I have found that when using R%% I do get all records, but I have since discovered this is only because the maximum length of a record is 3 characters. I get the same result if I use R%%%.
However, when I use the wildcard part of the query on the Locality choice, it works as I would expect it too, and returns all results that start with, say, 'Hob', if I enter Hob%.
The only difference I can think of between the two is that Locality is stored as 'NVARCHAR(50)' and Land_Use_Code as 'NCHAR(5)'. I would not have thought this would cause a problem, but I may be wrong!
In the mean time I will work around it and add multiple %% signs to the parameter before the query is executed. Unfortunately I have tried to get my head around writing parametrized queries from scratch, but have not been able to find a good resource that explains it along with using it to then fill a DataGridView.
Thanks for all your help though guys - has been great and I feel like I have learnt a lot!

I have encrypted files in this database. I need to extract this file and decrypt it. I've been thinking about using a memory stream but these files will get fairly large (2GB). This is as far as I've gotten using vb .net framework 2.0. Any help is helpful?
