Thanks, it worked perfectly! Just inquisitive to know now. Is there a way to say something like
"Page 1 of 10" instead of just the page number?

Yes, you can modify the expression any way you want, for example:

="Page " & Globals!PageNumber & " of " & Globals!TotalPages

For additional info refer to:

Hi,

SQL*Loader can be used for inserting data from a file to database. It's not a command like in SQL Server but an utility.

Hope this helps,

SQL 2005 Cross-DB Coding Compatibility [modified]

O.k, I'm re-wording my post.
How can I dynamically change the target database of some SQL code like a stored procedure or a function?
In other words...
I have this:
Execute MyDataBase..procAddHistoryEvent(@Blah,etc)
Update MyDataBase..tblWoof set WoofColumn1 = 'bark952' where WoofColumn2 = @Blah
but my solution requires something like this:
Execute @SelectedDB..procAddHistoryEvent(@Blah,etc)
Update @SelectedDB..tblWoof set WoofColumn1 = 'bark952' where WoofColumn2 = @Blah

My old post_________________________________________________________________________________________

Scenario...
Our system runs multiple DB's on a single SQL2005 Server. The DB naming is usually is not a problem since our software can be configured to which DB it should connect for which data. I.e Client1's application could connect to the DB Client1Data.
So when we restore data for debugging and don't want to overwrite an existing DB we simply restore it as (e.g.) Client1DataTest.
But...
Our software uses multiple DB's, so Client1's software also uses DB's for (e.g.) Client1Messages, Client1Mail etc. So for debugging we would load DB's for Client1DataTest, Client1MessagesTest, Client1MailTest etc.
So my question...
All our DB's run stored procedures (SP's) and in quite a few cases one DB will execute a SP on another DB with the following syntax:
Execute Client1Data..procAddHistoryEvent(@Blah,etc)
or simply select, update, delete and insert data on another DB e.g.:
Update Client1Messages..tblWoof set WoofColumn1 = 'bark952' where WoofColumn2 = @Blah
It's clear how the above is kinda hardcoded.
So when we run our system on a test DB say, Client1DataTest, it still wrongly accesses data from and executes code on Client1Messages instead of Client1MessagesTest.
Is there a better way of doing this OTHER than compiling and executing SQL strings all over the place?
Kind Regards

I hope this is not the consequence of allowing your users to name the database when installing (question asked a few weeks ago). If Mika's suggestion does not help then you may need to go down the path of dynamic sql.

If the databases are identical (surely) then move the decision to the connection from the client not the procedure. Then you are executing the proc and the proc does no care what database/server it is on.

If the connection information needs to be within the proc I think you are screwed unless synonyms can help.

To get the record use and use the additional column
Select * from TableName where l_name = 'billy smith'

To get the rowindex in the table - what for! I can think of a number of reasons, most of which are in the UI.
Look into ROWNUMBER in BOL, this may help

[edit] forget rownumber look at RANK or ranking functions[edit]

That would depend on ordering as well.

I imagine a function could be written to accomplish it, but doing so after you retrieve the data may be best.

Hi,

Why not...

select row_number() over (order by id asc) as Rowindex, *
from [Table]

Hi,

Not necessarily optimal but this may interest you Full-Text Indexes[^]

Another possibility is to create custom keyword based index table using triggers etc

Hope this helps,

Hi, thanks for looking

Im currently hosting my site with godaddy, but ive been having problems when uploading and modifying my DB, since it doesnt allow remote connections from SQL Server Management Studio it only has a webapp (SQL Server web Admin)
My app is a small site, i cant have a dedicated server with them since thats too expensive, i just have a medium plan

I need a hosting company that allows me to connect remotely
Im looking for something not expensive

Im using:
ASP.NET 2.0, AJAX and SQL Server 2005

Please give me some suggestions
Thanks in advance

Check Fort Nocs Networks
I know for sure they allow remote connections, but I have no idea about pricing.

what is the mean of WHILE (1=1) shown in the sample codes as below:

--------------------------
IF (A > B)
A := A + 1;
ELSE
B := B + 1;

WHILE (1 = 1) {
A := A + 1;
}

FOR (declare X any, X := 1; X <= 2 ; X := X + 1){
S := S + X;
}

FOR (declare X any, X := 1; X <= 2 ; ){
S := S + X;
X := X + 1;
}
