Re: Updating an Access database based on a sub-select

Ew Access again - and a newer version than I have worked with. Some thoughts.

Why do you have the switch (what is switch doing in SQL code) in the select portion, surely you want that in the where clause.

Select Fulldate
From UKWorkingDays
Where fulldate in (filter 25/6) and weekday in (filter weekdays)

I leave it to to grasshopper to fix the filter.

Thanks for the reply Mycroft but I'm not sure that it is of much help.

Take this year for example. 25/12 is a Friday, 26/12 is a Saturday so 28/12 is actually a holiday not a working day. My inner select statement returns 2 rows correctly containing Friday 25/12 and Monday 28/12. I then have to check every row in the table against these returned values and if equal mark the date as a non-working day (my outer update). The inner select works a treat so I thought an update statement where date in (inner select) would achieve what I wanted but for some reason it appears to do nothing, no rows returned updated and no exception thrown. Maybe its looping too many times and would eventually finish. I'll have to re-visit my code and see if there's a better way.

More on this..

I've just stripped out all but this years dates and run my query which has done exactly as I expected and updated 25 & 28/12. I guess its just baulking at the number of repetitions it has to perform on the full table so I'm on the right track but do need to improve the code.

Generate combinations for series

declare @a varchar(500)
set @a = '1,2,3,4'

how to generate output for all the combinations of input @a like 1,2,3,4 ; 1,2,4,3 ; 1,3,2,4 ; 1,3,4,2 ; 1,4,2,3 ; 1,4,3,2 ; 2,1,3,4; 2,1,4,3 ; 2,3,1,4...

All the numbers will be in series like for 10 digits.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

i require all the combinations to be generated. the series i found like in the input if last (N) and last-1 (N-1) digits are interchanged, in series 1,2,3,4, second sequence wil be 1,2,4,3 ( interchange last two digits). next 1,3,2,4(N-3 digit is incremented and missing numbers 2,4 are placed).Next sequence wil be 1,3,4,2 ( interchange last two digits).. it could give all the combinations.

Could some one help me in providing solution for this. while i am using sql server 2005.

thanks in advance,
rpp

I do not have an answer in T-SQL or SQL but here[^] is a link to a C# recursive algorithm that you might find useful.

Ew, recursion is not necessary for this, but I agree that SQL isn't the right tool.

I know about sp_who and sp-who2 procedures, but how can I detect orphaned connections/processes?
You will agree that LastBatch information should be ignored in most cases.
I am trying to make a services which logs some statistical data about connecting to sql server and killing orphaned connections would be a nice feature.

I use Sql Server 2005 Express.

I've been asked to create a database for my department, using a template from another business unit. I'm good with HTML, MS Access, and SQL, but the current system is asp-based and I've never played with that before. Am I headed for trouble? What kind of transfer of learning should I expect?

My software administrators don't have anything on their list of "standard applications" for this, so I'll have to request them to purchase something new. What do you all recommend?

If you are starting from scratch, you should look at using Visual Studio 2008 and develop your web based app as a ASP.NET applicaiton.

Ok this one is going to take a little telepathy, you probably have 1 of 2 requirements, connect to an Oracle database from another client, check out connectionstrings.com or possibly attach an Oracle database to another Oracle server, read the Oracle documentation.

You really need to be clearer and more explicit with your questions.

Have you read the doco on inserting pictures into MySQL? I would think that you just inserted the string 'C:\sample.bmp' into a binary field.
