It should. What is happening?
Are you storing commands in a file? Why not store the data as CSV and have a parameterized insert command?
What task are you trying to accomplish?

I found the problem. In the database I found ’ (ASCII code 22) instead of ' (ASCII code 39) and it seems that writing the results to the file using bcp changes the ’ (22) character with ' (39)  . It's funny that I don't seem to find ’ (22) on my keyboard  . Anyway thanks for your help

I'm using SQL Server 2000 and performing some insertions. Now I'm facing very slow response and some time it hangs in the middle.
Please take me out from this problem.
Thanks

I'm always amazed by questions like this. How do you hope for us to help you ? We have no idea what your code looks like, how can we comment on it ?
What does 'hangs in the middle' mean, your app becomes unresponsive ?

Hello friends,
I am trying to write a query to bring records from my ACCESS database and the field type of the column included in the where clause is date/time.
my query was:
command = "Select * FROM tblIncomingLetters where InwardDate Between " + dateTimePicker1.Value.Date+ " AND " + dateTimePicker2.Value.Date;
I am sending this query to another fucntion that will take this query as a command txt
but it is constantly giving me the error of missing operator
I was wondering if anyone of you can help me in resolving the issue.
Looking forward for your input.
Sadaf

TRy using parameterised queries, then you can be sure that your data is going to be presented in a format your source understands.

Thanks for ur co-operation but let me briefly describe what i want
my query is changing based on the filters used .
to accomodate this situation , i have made a function GetData() which is being called after the user clicks on the button (btnFind) and they query is decided based on the filters specified by the user which means the parameters also change .
---Function GetData()----
private void GetData(string selectCommand)
{
// Specify a connection string. Replace the given value with a
// valid connection string for a Northwind SQL Server sample
// database accessible to your system.
string currentDirectory = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory;
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='" + currentDirectory + "\\dbLetters.mdb';Persist Security Info=False";
// Create a new data adapter based on the specified query.
dataAdapter= new OleDbDataAdapter(selectCommand, con);
// Create a command builder to generate SQL update, insert, and
// delete commands based on selectCommand. These are used to
// update the database.
OleDbCommandBuilder commandBuilder = new OleDbCommandBuilder(dataAdapter);
// Populate a new data table and bind it to the BindingSource.
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Locale = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
dataAdapter.Fill(table);
bindingSource1.DataSource = table;
// Resize the DataGridView columns to fit the newly loaded content.
dataGridView1.AutoResizeColumns(
DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCellsExceptHeader);
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
}
-------END--------
-----query specified-----
string command = "";
#region Sender of the letter is specified
else if (chkFrom.Checked == true && chkDate.Checked == false && chkSubject.Checked == false)
{
if (cmbFrom.SelectedItem.ToString() == "Others")
{
command = "Select * from tblIncomingLetters where From LIKE ='" + this.txtFrom.Text+ "'";
}
else
{
command = "Select * from tblIncomingLetters where From LIKE '" + cmbFrom.SelectedItem.ToString() + "'";
}
}
#endregion
#region date is specified
else if (chkDate.Checked == true && chkFrom.Checked == false && chkSubject.Checked == false)
{
command = "Select * FROM tblIncomingLetters where InwardDate Between " + dateTimePicker1.Value.Date+ " AND " + dateTimePicker2.Value.Date;
}
#endregion
#region subject is specfied
else if (chkDate.Checked == false && chkFrom.Checked == false && chkSubject.Checked == true)
{
command = "Select * from tblIncomingLetters where Subject LIKE '" + this.txtSubject.Text + "'";
}
#endregion
-------
Now plz tell me how to solve it or is there any other better way to achieve the same result.
I shall be really thankful 2 u

First of all, what I said stands. Use parameterised queries if you must do SQL in your presentation layer. I think it's inexcusable, but that's another discussion.
Second, read this[^]. Your code is a disaster, and a malicious user can easily comprimise your database, erase it, or gain access to any data they want from it.

there is one thing I forgot to mention which is that
once the query to retrieve the data from database is decided (string command is formed) , I call the GetData function passing it the string command
GetData(command);
Kidnly correct me if you think this can done in other ways!

Hi All,
I want to list all the temporary tables for a perticular session in SQL Server 2005. I can see all the temporary tables in tempdb by using the following query
select * from tempdb..sysobjects
But i need to find out the tables which are created for a specific session.
Is there any way to do that?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I am not sure to post this question is suitable or not.
How/Can I select the columns of entire database tables? I am going to clear about the question.
For select all columns of one tabble.
Select * from TableName.
Similarly, what is the query for select * from *(all tables inside a database).
Thanks

Why do you want to do that ?
if you have lost the name of your table if, you are using SQl2005,2000 ,check on Enterprise manager and for 2005 Business intelligence, and tell me , if its an Application request, what was the thing that makes think its a right way to go by select all the Tables in the DB
?

Hi,
Is it possible, with an SQL statement, to retrive a column's data type?
Note: working with MS Access 2000 database (OleDbCommand in C#).

Hi Ron,
You may try the following code snippet and see if this helps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN CODE
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
public class DatabaseInfo {
public static void Main ()
{
String connect = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=.\\DataBaseName.mdb";
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(connect);
con.Open();
Console.WriteLine("Made the connection to the database");
String cmd = "SELECT * FROM YourTableName";
OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
adapter.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand(cmd, con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(ds, "YourTableName");
DataTable item = ds.Tables[0];
Console.WriteLine("Table name: {0}", item.TableName);
Console.WriteLine("Its columns are:");
foreach (DataColumn col in item.Columns)
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}", col.ColumnName, col.DataType);
con.Close();
}
}
END CODE
Hope this helps .

how to add 7 days to my date filter

Are you using SQL Server? If so, look at DateAdd.
|
|
|
|
|
try with following Query
select employee_Id from attendance where [date]= dateadd(day,7,'2005-01-10')

I have a table i am querying, and a prety odd set i need to return.
the columns i am interested in are the following types:
int, nvarchar, datetime,datetime.
the int has a pretty normal progression, 1,2,3,4,5. the nvarchar contains only 2 possible values, we'll say red and blue. now, the data lines up something like this:
1 blue
2 blue
1 red
3 blue
2 red
3 red
ie, no particular order, but every number listed in the int coulmn has a red and a blue row, so a normal query would return
1 blue
2 blue
3 blue
1 red
2 red
3 red
if ordering by the colors
now, the two date times are a strat date and end date, and they line up weird. the blue and red of each int do not have the same range, but are considered related. however, all of the dates for a color tie together, so if the enddate for 1 blue is 4/25/2008, then the startdate for 2 blue is 4/26/2008. same goes for red, except what i end up with is something like this
1 blue 2/23/2008 3/12/2008
1 red 2/25/2008 3/20/2008
what i need to do is write a query that returns only 2 values, where they are both less than todays date, one is blue and one is red, and they both have the same int value.
now, the query i am using looks like this:
select top 2 * <br />
from [table] where enddate < cast('4/15/2008 12:59:59.999' as datetime)<br />
order by enddate desc
this particular one is right on the cusp of one of the transition dates, and the result i am getting is:
1 red
2 blue
when i need
1 red
1 blue
or
2 red
2 blue.
the int must always be the same and the nvarchar must always be different. is there a way to force this in a query?
what i end up needing is a query that returns

Change your order by to include the number field as the first portion before the enddate, e.g. order by id, enddate.

Didn't actually try running this, but you can give it a whirl:
select top 2 a.* from [table] a
INNER JOIN [table] b ON a.int = b.int
AND a.nvarchar <> b.nvarchar
AND b.enddate < cast('4/15/2008 12:59:59.999' as datetime)
where a.enddate < cast('4/15/2008 12:59:59.999' as datetime)
order by enddate desc
