Re: Get number of records Steve McLenithan10-Dec-02 1:55 Steve McLenithan 10-Dec-02 1:55  Use a Dateset to select the same records as the Reader does, but without getting any unnessesary data. use the myDataset.Tables["filledTableName"].Rows.Count property. then use the reader to extract your data. I'm not sure how efficient this is, but i think it's the easiest. Anybody else have a different way besides using SQL's Count(*)? ******************** * SteveMcLenithan * steve@steve-mac.com * Google News! ******************** A tricky Sql statement DamienL9-Dec-02 23:51 DamienL 9-Dec-02 23:51  Hi all, I need your help This Sql statement calulates journey details after you enter your start station, end station and a time to travel after. It calculates your journey when the two stations you enter are not on the same 'route'. I use 3 tables out of my database for this query: *=Primary Key & -> are the relationships StopsAt: Follows: Route: JourneyNumber-> <-JourneyNumber <-*RouteNumber StationName *RouteNumber-> Time *AutoNumber An example is: Input- Crofton Rd to Loft Rd, after 12:25 Output: Crofton Rd 12:30 Abbey Rd 12:46 Route:46A & connect to> Essex Rd 12:49 Loft Rd 12:52 Route:123A .... Crofton Rd 12:30 Clare Rd 12:46 Route:46A & connect to> Sorrow Rd 12:49 Loft Rd 12:52 Route:123A ...and every other possible route there is The problem: the query outputs all the possible connecting routes. I want it to pick one journey from Crofton Rd to X and from X to Loft Rd. So not list every possible route from Crofton road to Loft Rd. I think I have to design another clause in the FROM part to account for Third.StationName and Fourth.StionName and join these up to the 'Follows' and 'Route' tables. I tried many things and cannot get it. There are 4 copies of the StopsAt table made & I guess I have to make another copy of the 'Follows' and 'Route' table and Inner Join these. I wrote the Sql statement like this so it's easier to read. Please help me. Sql= " SELECT DISTINCT First.StationName AS Begin, First.Time AS StartTime, Second.StationName AS SecondStop, Second.Time AS ArriveTime, Route.RouteNumber AS RouteNumber1, Third.StationName AS ThirdStop, Third.Time AS StartTime2, Fourth.StationName AS Destination, Fourth.Time AS DestinationTime, Route2.RouteNumber AS RouteNumber2 FROM Route AS Route2, StopsAt AS Third, StopsAt AS Fourth, StopsAt AS Second INNER JOIN (( StopsAt AS First INNER JOIN Follows ON First.JourneyNumber = Follows.JourneyNumber) INNER JOIN Route ON Follows.RouteNumber = Route.RouteNumber) ON Second.JourneyNumber = Follows.JourneyNumber WHERE First.StationName = [user input] AND Fourth.StationName = [user input] AND Third.Time > Second.Time AND Second.Time > First.Time AND Fourth.Time > Third.Time AND First.JourneyNumber = Second.JourneyNumber AND Third.JourneyNumber = Fourth.JourneyNumber AND First.Time > [user input] Damien How can I add a string that has a single quote character in it? Bart-Man9-Dec-02 11:28 Bart-Man 9-Dec-02 11:28  Greetings, I was wondering how can I add a string with character beginning with a single quote using sql? For example: ------------ The year 1985 becomes: '85 I want to add the '85 to a character field. Or even a "~". 1985 is added to the database as ~85. I know strings can be added with 'somevalue', but what if the string starts, or has a weird character in it? Thanks in advance for any help! Re: How can I add a string that has a single quote character in it? David Salter9-Dec-02 11:56 David Salter 9-Dec-02 11:56  Replace each occurence of a single quote with 2 single quotes. e.g. insert into data (x) values ('the year is ''85') Dave.

Bart-Man10-Dec-02 3:36 Bart-Man 10-Dec-02 3:36  Hello, Thanks for the response, I did not know about the double replace of the "'" character. That is good to know!!

The other reply is one way, but another is to start using stored procedures and parametres. They may be slog in setting up, but once you start using parametres things get a lot better.

Depending on the language you are using look for something named Command or SQLCommand and a collection named Parameter or SQLParameters. Forget about double-quotes.

RJS9-Dec-02 7:41 RJS 9-Dec-02 7:41  Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to do something like these: 1) select field1,field2 from table_name where line_number_in_table >50 and line_number_in_table < 100 in sql2000? So I would get only those records between the 50 and the 100.. 2) Is there any similar command in sql2000 for rownum in Oracle? Thanks a million! Re: Record Number ...

You would need to use your index( if you have one) to select the rows. select * from table where index > 50 and index < 100 This assumes that the index is numberic and sequential.

No. You need a real column. BTW, in SQL, in general, it's a bad practice to assume a physical order of records in a query. RJS wrote: Is there any similar command in sql2000 for rownum in Oracle? No, but you can fake it. I see dumb people Partial Search Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa9-Dec-02 1:25 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 9-Dec-02 1:25  I want to do a partial no search in the database... Like...
