Try rewriting the SQL without using 'as'

select admin.*, BrokerName = brok.FirstName + ' ' + Brok.LastName
from adminmsgrecieved admin, brokerdetails brok
where admin.AdminId='111' and brok.BrokerId = admin.FromBrokerId

Also, for future reference, specify what type of SQL database you are using: Oracle, SQLServer, MYSQL, etc. Syntax varies based on the type.

The easiest way is to save your first query as a View, then use the View to link into the next query.

eg: The query (fixed up) from your first post is saved as vwBrokerName then do something similar to this:

select tblName.*, vwBrokerName.BrokerName
from tblName
inner joint vwBrokerName on tblName.BrokerID = vwBrokerID

(assuming the ID fields exist in the view and table tblName)

Hi all,

The application I'm working on is going to be used internationally. So I've loaded up some test data in my SQL Server CE database in fields that are declared as datetime fields. I used American dating when loading them (i.e., MM/DD/YYYY). Now I switched my computer over to UK dating and am searching using UK dating (DD/MM/YYYY). My search date dependent so if search from Jan 1, 2006 through June 2, 2009 I should find an entry that has a date of May 27, 2009. If I'm using American dates and search 1/1/2006 through 6/2/2009 it finds 5/27/2009. But if I'm using UK dates and search for 1/1/2006 through 2/6/2009 it doesn't find 5/27/2009.

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the way I've declared the fields, with the SQL I use to store the data or with the SQL I use to search for the data. Help?

Hi,

assuming your date fields really got declared as DateTime fields, and you use parameterized SQL queries, the only place where it could possibly go wrong is where you parse the user input to turn it into DateTime values; e.g. if you provided a format there, it would use that instead of your regional settings one.

Strongly Typed DataSet help

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to generate an XML file using a typed dataset?
I have a typed dataset called _WorkStationDataSet. But WriteXml() can not be called direclty from it, I have to create a new instance of it using:
_WorkStationDataSet dsWorkstation = new _WorkStationDataSet(), but then calling WriteXml() on dsWorkstation does not create a hierarchical xml file, instead it just puts two lines of xml at the top of the file showing the name of the dataset.

How do i call WriteXml() on a Strongly Typed Dataset?
Do I need to fill dsWorkstation again once a new instance is created? If yes, how?
Please this is quite urgent

Where to store my files?

musefan1-Jun-09 4:04

1-Jun-09 4:04

Hi All,

Basically I have a C#.Net Windows Forms application where most of the data is stored in a database (currently SQL Server 2005). Some data that needs storage is file uploads - at the moment I have an FTP setup for transfer of these files to/from a server as and when needed. I also know it is possible to store files in the database (using BLOB's).

I have done the research and found a number of sources that basically agree on one thing - Databases are good for small files ( < 256KB) where as file systems are better for files larger than this. The file uploads in question will most likely be 1MB or larger but can basically be any size.

Anyway, I am posting here because I am looking for some opinions on which option to go for (or maybe another alternative completely). Has anybody had any experience with using either option and can recommend the best route to take?

Thanks for any input Wink | ;)

I'm a big fan of keeping things simple.

Store your files on a fileserver. Store your data in a database server. Cool | :cool:

Think about how you are going to use this files ... will they need to be updated ? Will there be concurrent access to them ? Do you need version control ? Do you need to track who changed the files ?

If your requirements are simple, then go with the simple solution of storing your files outside the database.

That's my vote.

Definitely possible

David Mujica wrote:

David Mujica wrote:

Currently the 'uploader' is stored in a Database table along with file name..

Do any of these answers change your mind?

Go with storing files on fileserver

Based on your input, I still believe I would go with storing the files on a fileserver.

You can control concurrent access to the files by implementing a "check-out/check-in" logic where a user would be required to make a request to "check-out" a file, have him/her edit it and "check-in" the newly revised version.

Using this method you could create a nice audit log of who is updating the files, when the change was made, etc. You could also create a revision mechanism by renaming the old file on the server with an extension of .001, .002, etc

The down-side of this "check-out/check-in" logic is that someone could check out a file and forget to check it back in, causing someone else not to be able to perform their edits. The work-around to this is an administrative override where the first user would loose their "check-out" status and allow the second user to update the file.

Thanks, a great suggestion. Thou I think I am covered with concurrent users.

Each upload is basically a new file so a file should never even be open before uploaded. Even an edit will be a new file. BTW file uniqueness is achieved with the use of an ID value from the database.

I am concerned with download of a file by multiple uses but I am assuming this is something that is handled with IIS which is providing the FTP support. I will go and look into this now thou...

Again, thanks for your input. An idea I will definitely keep in mind for the future, perhaps if I create my owner server application that handles file transfer (which I guess is a possible solution for my application needs).

Sounds like a rule of thumb gone mad. It would be crazy to store ISO-files in a database, I'll agree to that. There is no limit in size to determine whether or not to store data in a database; it's more appropriate to consider the type of data and it's usage.

There are various pro's and con's for both;

Pro Filesystem
* Simpler maintenance (manipulating files through Windows' Explorer is easier then SQL)
* Auto-integration into your Google Desktop Search / Whatever filesystem-indexer.

Against Filesystem
* Harder maintenance (filesystem rights, networking issues etc)

Pro Database
* Full-text search available, as well as an easy option for replication
* Ability to add auditing easily, as well as file-comments, tags etc.

Against Database
* Files aren't linked to the Active Directory
* GDS/Windows Indexing Service doesn't look "inside" the database to index your files

For both options; don't forget to add a backup-strategy.

Thanks, I appreciate your opinions. Here[^] is one article I found in case you fancy a read, it's related to performance between the two (there is a download on the page for .Doc or .PDF).

Personally, I want to go for the file system option as I prefer the idea of the files being stored as files, rather than in a database.

When I insert 983 records it fails with VFP OLE DB Provider error: Variable X is not found, but for less number of rows - aplication doesn't fails.

Did anyone have this issue?

SQL 2008 Workgroup - how do CALs work?

aastudent1-Jun-09 0:38

1-Jun-09 0:38

Hi
I have a general question about SQL server:

I am running a server that needs a very limited number of user connections (max of 5 at a time). So the 5-CAL edition of SQL 2008 Workgroup seems perfect for me. Now, what I need to know is the following: do I actually need to physically install a CAL on each machine/user that will be using the server (by using I mean reading and writing) or does the 5-CAL licence simply mean that only 5 machines/users will be able to log at any one time?

I.e. can 6 or 7 different people use this as long as only 5 of them are connecting simultaneously?

Thanks
Karl

Try adding the length of the varcher2 variable as

OracleParameter = cmdproc.Parameters.Add("ls_tube_batch", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 100)

100 will be the lenght of varchar you have defined in database

CONTAINS not working in my full text search

Brendan Vogt31-May-09 5:13

Hi,

I just added full text searching to a table, and the text in the ProductLongDescription column is:

On the go. For all purpose Industrial and Outdoor purposes. Half Hose. Available in Grey or Navy Blue.

When I use the following statement then the record above is returned:

SELECT ProductID_PK, ProductName, ProductLongDescription
FROM tblProduct
WHERE CONTAINS(ProductLongDescription, 'go');

When I use the following statement then nothing is returned, but you can see that "for" is in the sentence as well:

SELECT ProductID_PK, ProductName, ProductLongDescription
FROM tblProduct
WHERE CONTAINS(ProductLongDescription, 'for');

What am I doing wrong? Please can someone help me?

Thanks
Brendan
