Serialize to a byte array, then store in a varbinary field. When you read it back from the database, deserialize back into a hash table. This obviously only works with serializable objects. Also, if the implementation (of hashtable) is changed at some time, reading back a hashtable from the old serialized format will fail. Also, a varbinary can only hold 8000 bytes, and you need to use an image field if you will have more than 8000 bytes.

Hi,
I have tables:
Fruits:
FruitID | FruitName
====================
1 | Apple
2 | Orange
3 | Pear
Baskets:
Basket | FruitID | Amount
========================
Bask1 | 1 | 3
Bask2 | 1 | 5
Bask3 | 1 | 2
Bask1 | 1 | 1
Bask2 | 1 | 2
Bask1 | 3 | 2
Bask3 | 3 | 4
What query can I use to get the following table:
Basket | Apple | Orange| Pear
=============================
Bask1 | 3 | 1 | 2
Bask2 | 5 | 2 | NULL
Bask3 | 2 | NULL | 4
Thanks in advance,

select fruits.*,baskets.*<br />
from fruits,baskets<br />
where fruits.FruitID = Baskets.FruitID
|
|
|
|
|
SELECT b.Basket AS Basket, b.Amount AS APPLE
FROM Fruits INNER JOIN
Baskets b ON Fruits.FruitID = b.FruitID
WHERE (Fruits.FruitID = 1)
SELECT c.Basket AS Basket, c.Amount AS ORANGE
FROM Fruits INNER JOIN
Baskets c ON Fruits.FruitID = c.FruitID
WHERE (Fruits.FruitID = 2)
SELECT d.Basket AS Basket, d.Amount AS PEAR
FROM Fruits INNER JOIN
Baskets d ON Fruits.FruitID = d.FruitID
WHERE (Fruits.FruitID = 3)
This will not give u the exact solution but will give you the partial solution.
Do good and have good.

This is the standard way of doing a Crosstab/PIVOT in SQL.
SELECT Basket,
SUM(CASE FruitID WHEN 1 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Apple,
SUM(CASE FruitID WHEN 2 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Orange,
SUM(CASE FruitID WHEN 3 THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Pear
FROM Baskets
GROUP BY Basket
However, as you can see, you need to know in advance what the columns are. There is a new PIVOT command in SQL Server 2005 that may extend this functionality.
The other way is to de-normalise the data using
SELECT b.basket, f.FruitName, b.Amount
FROM Baskets b INNER JOIN Fruit f on b.FruitID = f.FruitID
and import it into Excel where you can use the Pivot tool to do the crosstabbing for you.

You could make a Stored Procedure that does this:
DECLARE @iColumns INT, @sql VARCHAR(2500),@cFruitName VARCHAR(10),@cFruitID varchar(10)
SET @sql = ''
DECLARE curFruits CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT FruitID,FruitName FROM Fruits
OPEN curFruits
FETCH NEXT FROM curFruits INTO @cFruitID,@cFruitName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @sql = @sql + ', SUM(CASE FruitID WHEN ' + @cFruitID + ' THEN Amount ELSE 0 END) as [' + @cFruitName + ']'
FETCH NEXT FROM curFruits INTO @cFruitID,@cFruitName
END
close curFruits
DEALLOCATE curFruits
SET @sql = 'SELECT Basket' + @sql + ' FROM Baskets GROUP BY Basket'
print @sql
exec(@sql)

First let me say that a few months ago I found the answer to this question and have forgottten it (That means I know the answer does exist)
Also, let me say that I do not want alternate solutions. I only want the exact solution I previously found.
There is a method to convert a variable of type varchar into some sort of structure directly usuable in an in clause, ie
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE customerID in *something*(@variable)
This method does not use instr, does not use loops, does not use custom split functions and looks very elegant in sql code. If anyone knows I would appreciate the answer. It is driving bonkers.
I am thinking it may have something to do with the TABLE function but the TABLE solutions I see on the web are not elegant and is not the one I am looking for.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

All of those solutions are fairly common, in fact I had already read that page. The one I want is very elegant. I know it exists because I have seen and used it but now I can't remember it!

Yes I have, which is weird because I would have thought the ask tom authors would know.
What I am looking for actually exists but it is so hard to find (Trust me I am not jerking any chains). I am sure the method is a hack based on ETL functions but searching reveals nothing. I just wish I could remember the page where I originally read it. In fact, since I have had so much trouble finding it again, if I do refind it I will definately make it into an article. Even though CP isn't known for oracle buffs :p

I have another question regarding datasets and datarows/columns.
I populated a combobox with this:
SqlCommand cmdSelect = sqlConnection1.CreateCommand();
cmdSelect.CommandText = "SELECT EmpID,EmpName FROM Employees";
SqlDataAdapter sdaEmp = new SqlDataAdapter();
sdaEmp.SelectCommand = cmdSelect;
sdaEmp.Fill(dstEmp,"Employees");
cboEmployee.DataSource = dstEmp.Tables["Employees"];
cboEmployee.DisplayMember = "EmpName";
cboEmployee.SelectedIndex = 0;
Now what I want to do when the user changes the 'selected index' of the combo box, to grab the info in the corresponding EmpId column from the datatable above.
What would be the correct porocedure to accomplish this?
Thanx in advance!
Jude

Use event Onselected index change
|
|
|
|

I am sorry I didn't make question more clear. I know the event to use, but I do not know how to access the data in the datatable that matches the same row as the selected index. IE:
EmpName EmpID (Selected Index)
John Doe 123 0
Jane Doe 2112 1
Bob Smith 9765 2
Lillte Johnny 321 3
If the user selects Bob Smith from the cobmobox, the selected index is 2. How to I retrieve the EmpId from that row?

Hello,
I know this is a very common connectivity error but I am really stuck here. I am currently trying to access a DB via a BindingNaviagator control via .NET. I know the connection string is 100% correct as when I do the preview data on my TableAdapter the data comes through. When I go to fire the program and access these records, I get the SqlException - Login failed for user (user) error. Like I said I know this is a pretty general error, but any advice on where to continue looking would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

That would suggest that the account the preview in Visual Studio is using is different to the account your application is using. This is possible if you are using a trusted connection as the account that will be used to access SQL Server will be the account of the currently running process.
I suggest you find out what account your application is using and set up the appropriate permissions on SQL Server, or change the account your application is running in.

I was thinking the same thing but I did the connection over and it still didnt work. I came to the conclusion that it was the DB settings not letting it connect because I actually created the DB on the server as opposed to the System Admin. So I had the SA make a new DB and it worked like a charm. I am not sure what settings were causing the remote connections to not be allowed but its all good now. Thanks for the response.
