So is every update and insert done via stored procedure and the developers are writing the procedures?
If that is true I would still go to triggers. In this way the database takes care of critical information (I understood that the date must be modified every time) and the developers don't have to remember to add this column to every DML operation. Also DML executed directly against the table is setting the date correctly if triggers are used.
Just wondering how you use the LastModifiedDate. If it simply shows the date when the record is last modified, it's ok. However if you use it for optimistic locking, the resolution isn't adequate.

Hi,
i don´t know if i can help you there but use sql getdatetime() function to get date automatically. You will get time when the procedure is triggered, don´t even need to ask nothing to the user.
I had a application on which i manage the login/logout process automatically, the user doesn´t even know that it exists
algorithm:
create table log_table(id int,user varchar(50),login smalldatetime, logout smalldatetime)
--in login procedure
insert into log_table(235,john,getdatetime(), null)
--in logout procedure
insert into log_table(235,john,null,getdatetime())
Good Luck

yeah...thats the way we are doing right now...
but if your table is accessible at many places/procs in application it can be difficult to manage or make sure that every developer is adding this attribute.
if anyone missed it..our business logic will fail...so i feel its better to add a trigger once and forget about it..
but i was wondering if there are any disadvantages of using triggers???

Hi
I am developing a project which involves query strings.
I want when user selects a city from a drop down list it has to be passed to the next page and show the values from the database in the gridview based on the value selected in drop downlist.
My code is :
protected void ddlCity_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string url = "Cityschedules.aspx?City="+ ddlCity.SelectedItem.Text;
Response.Redirect(url);
}
When the user Enters say "New Delhi"
It shud show the all the values where city is "New Delhi"
In Cityschedules.aspx
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string strSQLconnection = "Data Source=SHASHI-56B0C28E\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Project_Airways;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=sql2005";
SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(strSQLconnection);
SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [ARS_Schedules] WHERE ([Origin_Place] = '@Origin_Place1')", sqlConnection);
sqlConnection.Open();
string Origin_Place1 = Request.QueryString["City"];
SqlDataReader reader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
GridView1.DataSource = reader;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
catch (SqlException se)
{
Console.WriteLine(se.Message);
}
finally
{
sqlConnection.close();
}
}
I am getting exceprion
"{"The DataSourceID of 'GridView1' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource. A control with ID 'SqlDataSource1' could not be found."}"
Also when this exception is solved i am getting another exception saying
"Must declare scalar variable @origin_Place1"
Thanks in advance
regards
shashi

Check GridView1 property Datasource on Design if it has set SqlDataSource1 as datasourceid, if it has then remove it.
<br />
SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand(" declare @Origin_Place1 as varchar (500) set @Origin_Place1='"+Request.QueryString["City"]+"' SELECT * FROM [ARS_Schedules] WHERE ([Origin_Place] = @Origin_Place1)", sqlConnection);

well u can use a session variable instead of request.city ...
make a session variable and store the value of ur drop down in it
on page load retrieve the value n then query the Database...
Example
make a session variable in global.asax
Session["City"]="";
then store the value of dropdown in session
i.e
session["City=dropdownlist1.selectedvalue"];
then redirect to other url
on page load
string query="SELECT * FROM [ARS_Schedules] WHERE ([Origin_Place] = "+session["City"].ToString()+"";
hope this will work for u...
take care
remember me in ur prayers

Hi All
We have just upgaded our old sql server from 2000 to a 2005 cluster server
I am now having problems running some bcp commands
The command i am running is
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select fileoutput from [new_db]..[Invoice_Table] order by roworder" queryout c:\invoice\template\customer.html -c -o c:\invoice\template\bcpOutput.txt'
the error i am getting is
User name not provided, either use -U to provide the user name or use -T for Trusted Connection
i have tried to add in -U and -P but then get the below
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
i have also tried adding in
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select fileoutput from [new_db]..[Invoice_Table] order by roworder" queryout c:\invoice\template\customer.html -c -o -STCSQL1\sqlcluster c:\invoice\template\bcpOutput.txt'
but i get the same error saying it could not open a connection to SQL server
Can anyone help at all ?

Didn't figure out if you have used all -P, -U and -S at the same time.
If not, provide username, password and instancename for command arguments.
Also check that the server is listening named pipes since it seems to be configured as the protocol for the client component.
Hope this helps,
MIka

Hi,
I'm trying to create a trigger for a table which has a column of type TEXT. While executing Trigger Statement, It shows a message stating that " can't use text field in inserted/deleted table".
Can anyone give me the solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If possible use VARCHAR(MAX) instead of TEXT data type. TEXT should not be used anymore.
If not possible, use INSTEAD OF trigger. Normal AFTER trigger does not support TEXT datatype.
Hope this helps,
Mika

SELECT * FROM CITY_POPULATION;
CITY_ID CITY_POPULATION
------- ---------------
1 100
2 200
3 300
SELECT * FROM CITY_INFO;
CITY_ID CITY_NAME
------- ---------
1 FIRST CITY
2 SECOND CITY
3 THIRD CITY
How can I have some sort of union query that would have the city id, name and population in one output where the id columns from the two tables match, I mean, the city names from the second table should be picked up to match their id number from the other table showing how much population is in that country id with it's name.. something like:
ID, Country Name, Population
Many thanks guys!

You would use a join for this.
Select *
From City_Info i
Inner Join City_Population p on
p.City_Id = i.City_Id
The output should be similar to:
City_Id City_Name City_Id City_Population
------ ------ ------- ------------
1 First City 1 100
2 Second City 2 200
3 Third City 3 300
You probably wouldn't want City_Id two times, so you would need to specify the columns that you want in the select list. Be sure to qualify the column names so you don't get an ambiguous column error (ex: i.City_id, i.City_Name, p.City_Population).

Sorry Scott, but I still have a question though
Using your inner join statement, why do I get the same value from any column of the second table, like population here from city population would be 100 for the whole column
Please help me Mr. "Scott Tiger  "

Do you really want to union or perhaps join?
Do you want output like :
City_Id City_Population CityName
----------------------------------------
1 100 First City
2 200 Second City...
or something else?

I have a problem with connecting to a sql server with ODBC source. I can create this source without any problems in administration tools -> ODBC sources.
But when I try to connect to the SQL server I get an error saying that the ODBC source name doesnt exist.
I have tried to connect directly to server via Excel import data and it works well, but with ODBC source I get this error.
Someone with any idea of the problem

Few possibilities:
- Verify that the DSN name is written correctly when using DSN.
- When creating the source, use test functionality to verify, that configuration is valid.
- Try to use System DSN if you have used User DSN.
