Do you understand the purpose of such a constraint? It is there to enforce referential integrity between 2 tables, so values in the foreign key field in the related table must exist in the primary key field in the main table. If you don't want to enforce referential integrity, delete the constraint. It doesn't serve any purpose otherwise.

Once values should the child table's contain i.e. when the parent key value is removed then what value should be there in child key.

can you give more clarity with some examples

You need a byte stream. But I think storing images in access database may remove the meta data for the image.

HI : The Given Code is to store the specifications of the controls which are added to a form dynamically ,the database used is access ,here global is a class , lsave & i are variables
there is no syntax error at complile time but runtime a error is coming i.e Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement . The database is absolutely fine with correct syntax...

clue's please........................................ Cry | :((

OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = WindowsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default.printsoftwareConnectionString;
connection.Open();
//loop for saving the positions of the labels
OleDbDataAdapter oda = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from controlspecifications",connection);
OleDbCommandBuilder cmb1 = new OleDbCommandBuilder(oda);
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet("controlspecifications");
oda.Fill(ds1, "controlspecifications");
DataRow dr = ds1.Tables["controlspecifications"].NewRow();

for (lsave = 0; lsave <= i; lsave++)
{

dr[0] = global.projectname + "adsfsd";
dr[1] = lab[lsave].Name;
dr[2] = Convert.ToInt32(lab[lsave].Left);
dr[3] = Convert.ToInt32(lab[lsave].Top);
dr[4] = Convert.ToInt32(lab[lsave].Width);
dr[5] = Convert.ToInt32(lab[lsave].Height);
dr[6] = lab[lsave].Text;
dr[7] = lab[lsave].Font.FontFamily;
dr[8] = Convert.ToInt32(lab[lsave].Font.Size);
dr[9] = lab[lsave].ForeColor.ToString();
dr[10] = lab[lsave].BackColor.ToString();
if (lab[lsave].Font.Bold == true)
{
dr[11] = "bold";
}
else if (lab[lsave].Font.Italic == true)
{
dr[11] = "italic";
}
else if (lab[lsave].Font.Underline == true)
{
dr[11] = "underline";
}
else
{
dr[11] = "strikeout";
}
dr[12] = "dasfsad";
ds1.Tables["controlspecifications"].Rows.Add(dr);
oda.Update(ds1, "controlspecifications");
oda.Fill(ds1, "controlspecifications");

You haven't shown your insert command. What is it?

Your code has no insert statement in it. The code you have for SQL Server must have had some sort of insert statement in there somewhere.

Personally, I wouldn't use data adapters - they are more hassle than they are worth I've found. I'd generally write the insert statement and stick it on a regular command object.

I work in VB.Net, so maybe this is a language difference, but why aren't you filling the datarow by using column names instead of an index? I would guess that the problem is that you are filling a column with an incorrect datatype or something like that. If you used column names instead of indexes, you could insure this would not happen. For example:

dr("SyleColumn") = "bold";
instead of
dr[11] = "bold";

But again, this may not be the exact syntax to do it in C#.

HOpe this helps.

Hi frndz,
In my machine, I have a MSSQL server named "Local" with one database "TEST1" and in server machine there is also one MSSQL server named "Sever" with one database named "TEST" with table "Tbl"

My doubt is,is it possible to excute
"select * from TEST.Tbl" query
from query analyser of "local"'.

Thanks in advance

All I ever wanted is what others have....

If you set up a linked server, you should be able to query databases on this server using the syntax server.database.owner.table

Thank u for your reply.
I setup the linked server command like

<br />
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver <br />
<br />
    'server name',<br />
<br />
    N'SQL Server'<br />
<br />
select * from [server name].[TEST].[dbo].[Tbl]<br />

but it shows error like

<br />
Server: Msg 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 7<br />
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.<br />

If you are adding the linked server dynamically in code, you should call the sp_addlinkedsrvlogin SP to set up the login credentials required to access the linked server. Specify a SQL Server login if you can't access the linked server using a trusted connection.

If the server you are connecting to isn't an instance of SQL Server, you can use the OPENQUERY function to execute a pass-through query against the server.
