A stored procedure (SP) is just a procedure written in SQL. It takes input parameters and can have a return value, but can also return result sets.
A user defined function (UDF) is also like a procedure but written in SQL, however a UDF is more strict. For instance it can only use deterministic functions. UDFs can be used in other queries in the place of values or tables.
A trigger is a special sort of stored procedure that is run automatically when a specific action occurs, for instance a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE on a table. The trigger can perform additional actions depending on what triggered it.
Does this help?

Colin, I'm glad that you're very helpful but this request sounds suspiciously like someone's homework.
IMHO giving him the short explanation is ok but any more and you might as well be doing his homework for him  and that won't really help him further down the track.
Man, I was never this lazy back in my school days.

Hi everyone,
I've wondered across a peculiar issue with ADO (although something else could be the culprit, but through my investigation, I believe it to be ADO).
I have written a service that uses ADO. When running the service as a console app, everything works great. However, when the service is run 'as a service' in the SCM, I find a problem with the connection.
Basically, this is what I've found to happen:
1. I issue a connect() call, and it returns S_OK.
2. Immediately after that, I execute a simple query, say "select count(*) from table1". At this point, when running as a normal app, the query executes and all is well. However, as a service, the query fails. Upon further inspection, doing a check on whether the connection is actually "connected", I find that it is infact disconnected.
Any ideas? I've been thrashing my brains with this problem for a few hours now. Maybe someone can shed some light on this?
I have tried changing the account under which the service runs. That didn't work. I tried testing different data providers. Same problem. Anything else I can try?
Thanks,
Peter

hmmm...... That was my first thought. I have written a few services that update different data sources (dB2, MS SQL, Access) with ADO and ADO.net and not had this issue.
Just as an idea, is it possible that you are catching an exception somewhere in your code that is not getting propigated back to the caller?
Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that?

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I found the problem. When running under the SCM as a service, the SCM obviously takes the "entry point" nominated in the dispatch table that is passed into StartServiceCtrlDispatcher( ) and puts it into another thread. Since I was calling CoInitialize BEFORE this, COM never got initialized, or so it seemed. Simply putting CoInitialize into the entry point function sorted me out.
As an aside, I am slightly curious why, before the fix, calls the ADO Connection::Open( ) function SUCCEEDED and the CreateInstance( ) function returned what seems to be a valid interface pointer to the Connection object - weird.
Anyhow, atleast its sorted out 
Thanks,
Peter

How do I query Access Date field, My query returns no records
This is my query
"Select * from Score where testDate = 3/10/2005"
|
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK in Access you use # in between the date, e.g. #3/10/2005#
Use the ISO format that Colin mentioned though (#2005-10-03#).

I try this but still no result
Select * from
Score where testdate = #2005-03-10#
And there is a record with that date

Perhaps the date you supplied is in mm/dd/yyyy (U.S.) format instead of dd/mm/yyyy format.
Try testing with several dates and combination of dates and see which one gives you a result.

I am new to VB6 and i have developed a small application. i have used ado component version 2.5 and when i deploy my application by pdwizard, a messege appears that some ocx components are out of date. and another message appears that dependancy information for msado25.tlb not found. but it builds the setup.
when i install it on target mechine it gives message "Error Registering msado25.tlb" if i ignore it the queries i used in database file does not work and the message appears "Class does not support the automation..."

This is a bug in the P&D Wizard. It finds the msado25.tlb in your project as a dependency and includes it in the build, but the Setup program cannot register type libraries. Also, even if the type library registered correctly, you need other components for ADO to work correctly.
The only way to correctly install ADO services on a target machine is to use the MDAC installation.
To fix all your problems you need to do two things.
1) When you build your package, manually remove the msado25.tlb from this list of included files. This will prevent the user from seeing the "Error registering msado25.tlb" message.
2) Make sure the MDAC is included in the build. This will correctly install all the ADO services.

can any one tell what should one prefer a dataset or a datareader
what is diff betn the two
Patel Neelesh A
|

I am guessing you mean DataAdapter rather than DataSet (as a DataSet does not communicate with the database, while a DataReader does)
A DataReader allows you to get data from the database in a fast forward only fashion. This means that you can start processing the records before all are retrieved from the database. It is useful for situations where you are reading data into your domain objects and don't want/need any extra copies of the data in your system.
A DataAdapter reads all the records into a DataSet first meaning that there can be a slight delay and a larger memory overhead. It is useful for data binding to controls and prototyping.

where date > @Date1 and date < @Date2 or using between or there's a faster solution?
<italic>Work hard, Work effectively and a bit of luck is the key to success.

Try it and see. I'd guess that between internally does > < and is probably slower for the extra step, but only by a miniscule amount.

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could get some advice on this. What Im trying to do is view a stored procedure in an asp page. I dont know much about it and was wondering is it like displaying records in a table? Any help/links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Assuming you are talking about SQL Server 2000 (You didn't mention a database product - so the rest of this answer may not apply) you can perform a query like this:
select * from syscomments
inner join sysobjects on sysobjects.id = syscomments.id
where xtype='P'
Which will return all of the stored procedures and the their uncompiled source.

Or using INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
SELECT ROUTINE_DEFINITION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Routines
WHERE ROUTINE_CATALOG = 'MyDatabaseName'
AND ROUTINE_NAME = 'MyProcName'
MS SQL Server will return NULL if the procedure has been encrypted.

My app suddenly won't install MSDE, it just freezes towards the end, and the error log just says something like 'performing custom actions', then a big dump of info including a fail message when that timed out. I've made sure that no install of the same name exists on the machine.
