Yes, it is possible.
You might want to write it as a stored procedure - that way you only have one round trip to the database server and you always get a result set back (assuming, of course, that the fallback produced a result)

could you teach me how to do it without using the stored procedure way?
as i am asssumeing i have to put something inside my <asp:sqldatasource> tag

Why are you so reluctant to use stored procedures? It is a better way.

Hi,
I have a store procedure added to the database. I would like to try passing a value to the stored proc.
The store proc was as follow:
INSERT INTO DBName(Name, FName, LName, Salary, Active)
SELECT 'Mimic', FName, LName, SUM(Salary), 'A'
FROM DBInfo
WHERE TransactionDate=@TransDate
I would like to pass the 'Mimic' static data from the windows control and value was actually passed from the program itself to the stored proc. The store proc was actually used to insert into DBName table by specifying the Name with 'Mimic' value. My question was how do i implement passing the value from windows form textbox control to the stored proc and the data was inserted the *Name* static value into the database. Anybody can help regards on that?
Is that I have to write stored proc as following:
INSERT INTO DBName(Name, FName, LName, Salary, Active)
SELECT @Name, FName, LName, SUM(Salary), @Active
FROM DBInfo
WHERE TransactionDate=@TransDate
But the problem is that when i pass the data value of @Name & @Active, the program won't allow me to do like that. Is there any mwthods i can implement such of this functionality?

Well, what did you try to do? You have not shown any .NET code, so it is difficult to see what is going wrong.

hi
how can rename a table in sql server 2000 (with tsql in query analyzer)?
|
|
|
|

from : http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24417
Hi,
Yes, you can use sp_rename for renaming a table or column in SQL Server. The only difference is that if you want to rename a column witbin a table you need to provide proper namespace.
for e.g.
for renaming a table
EXEC sp_rename 'Old_TableName', 'New_TableName'
for renaming a column
EXEC sp_rename 'TableName.[Old_ColumnName]', 'TableName.[New_ColumnName]', 'COLUMN'
Hope this helps,

Hi all,
I am not fully aware of DTS, I have created a DTS package its executing from the .Net code also, but I have been struck up with 2-things. They are
1. Here I am using a .csv file as source file, this file has to be given at runtime as user selects it.
2. In the destination table, the DTS has to check whether the same recipt number exitsting, if it exists it should fail running of the DTS. And error message must be passed to a table.
Can anybody please advice me how to do it. I would be thankfull for them pls.

Is there any restriction on the name of the stored procedure. I mean on the length of the sp.What is the max length that a stored procedure can have.

From SQL Server Books On Line:
the NAME of a stored procedure cannot exceed 128 characters.
The size of a Transact SQL Stored procedure cannot exceed 128 MB.

what is different between SqlDataAdapter and SqlDataReader?.these 2 r different from dataadapter and datareader.
|
|
|
|
|
No these two are same.Dataadapter is used when u want to do insert or update or delete. And if u want the records for reading purpose then it is better to use datareader. Datareader is fast in this case. Datareader directly interacts with the Database. Dataadapter works with the dataset. And dataadapter interacts with the database. and fills the records in the dataset.Dataadapter is used only when you use dataset.And dataaset uses disconnected architecture and datareader does not.This reason makes dataset more useful.

SqlDataAdapter is a version of the DataAdapter that is specific for use with Sql Server. For other databases an OleDbDataAdapter or OdbcDataAtapter would be appropriate. Both of these classes inherit from the DataAdapter class, which providesthe abstract model for both. Similarly, SqlDataReader is an implementation of (inherits from) DataReader, one which is specifically for use with SQL Server databases.
DataAdatpters are disigned to serve as the bridge between a database and the in memory representastion classes DataSet and DataTable. The provide mechanisms for populating Datasets with the data, metadata and relationships form a database, and allow one to work with this in memory data while disconnected from the database. Mechanisms fro reconnecting and updating the database are also provided.
DataReaders are designed for rapid reading of data from a database. The data is provided as a set of records which must be read in order and can only be read once without closing and restarting the datareader.
All of this information (in much more detail) is available from MSDN[^]

Hi,
ADO.Net implements disconnected architecture with sqlDataAdapter and Dataset,SqlDataAdapter is disconnected from datasorce it establishes connection when required once data processing is finished it disconnect from DB and data is dumped into Dataset.
SqlDataAdappter is used for all DML command by defaults it is selectcommand mode.
SqlDataReader is connection oriented it reads the records on at a time mean while it reads all records. we can use DataReader only for SelectCommand. we cann't instantiate DataReader with the help of executeReader we can
SqldataReader used mainly for populate data to the controls, when we need to gothough all the records in data
I hope this will clear u r doubt for some extend

This is a question about the best way to construct a query.
Each person is associated with a team, and each team is associated with an office. This is represented in three tables:
a table of users (tblUsers) that have an id (userID) and a team (userTeamID)
a table of teams (tblTeams) that have an id (teamID) and an office (teamOfficeID)
a table of offices (tblOffices) that have an id (officeID).
How can I (with a single query) retrieve a list of all of the people (in tblUsers) who are in a particular office (officeID)?
Initially I tried this (in this example, I'm finding all the people in the office with officeID of XYZ):
SELECT userID
FROM tblUsers,tblTeams,tblOffices
WHERE
officeID='XYZ'
teamOfficeID=officeID
userTeamID=teamID
But that doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any thoughts?

Isn't it :
SELECT userID FROM tblUsers,tblTeams,tblOffices WHERE officeID='XYZ' AND teamOfficeID=officeID AND userTeamID=teamID
?

Hi,
Many ways to write the query :
1- using "IN" :
select userid from tblusers where userTeamId in (select teamId from tblTeams where teamOfficeId in (select officeID from tblOffices where officeId= 'XYZ'))
2- Using Join (more recommended) :
SELECT tblUsers.userID
FROM tblUsers INNER JOIN
tblTeams ON tblUsers.userTeamId = tblTeams.teamId INNER JOIN
tblOffices ON tblTeams.teamOfficeId = tblOffices.officeId
where tblOffices.OfficeId = 'XYZ'
HTH.

Always use ANSCII standards for writing queries this means even joins, instead of where clause condition first join the table and put where clause for specific requirement.

Hi, my database takes data from the user, but doesn't save it. i have made a search and found that there is a property in the database.mdf file called "copy to output directory" should be set from "copy always" to "do not copy", but this resulted in an error saying "specified file can't be opened or a databse with the same name exists".
So can anybody help me in that...

That sounds like a visual studio property for a file in a project. If you have the database being copied each time you build the project the database in the output directory will be overwritten each time, so you reset the database back to what is stored in the project. When you specify "do not copy" the database isn't copied at all from the project to the output directory so the application cannot find it.

So what the problem could be?? how can i make the database updated?

nadinekamal wrote: So what the problem could be??
I told you what I suspect the problem to be: You are constantly copying over the database that you make the updates to with a previous version.
As to how to proceed... That depends on what you want to happen. That is something you have not explained.

I am currently testing a data import program which deletes records from files in a SQL 2000 database, and then inserts new ones. The database has over 2000 tables, my program affects about 30 of them and there are over one million records that get deleted and reinserted.
During repeated testing, I noticed two events: (1) that the database would expand to fill the space allocated for it, and (2) that after several runs I would start getting SQL timeouts. I also noticed that these two events seem to be linked – when I increased the allocated space, the timeouts would disappear until such point that the database had filled the allocated space again.
When I investigated further (using ‘sp_spaceused’) I found the following:
07.80 Gb Data
01.70 Gb Index
27.10 Gb Unused
36.60 Gb Reserved
01.00 Gb Unallocated
38.60 Gb Database Size
It seems to me that the culprit is that ‘unused’ space. If I could eliminate that, I should be able to get the database down to a manageable size … about 10.5 Gb. I spent some time researching how to do that. I tried various procedures, including DBCC SHRINKFILE, SHRINKDATABASE, UPDATEUSAGE and DBREINDEX scripts, but nothing works. I ran a third-party SQL defrag utility but, although it reported that some tables/indexes could benefit by defragging, after I ran the defrag routine I noticed that nothing actually got defragged. (This could be because it is an eval version - even tho its supposed to be fully functioning, or it could be symptomatic of a larger problem with the database).
At this point I'm stymied. Can anyone help me?
