Please don't cross-post across forums - Quick Answers MS ACCESS ODBC problem[^] - it won't get your question answered any quicker!

Use a DSN-less connection like OLEDB. It is much faster than ODBC anyway.

Sounds like you are trying to build a Data Access Layer (DAL), there are many articles and examples on this subject.

Hi,
am developing application in .net,c#.
am saving datetime value as: yyyy-MM-ss HH:mm:ss (24 hour format)
after saving in database i observed in database , it's stored in specified format .
and here the problem is:
when i retrieve data , datetime is coming as 12 hour format.
what to do........

When you store date/time AS date/time in database you store some binary (like milliseconds since 1st of January 1970). Database do nothing and care less about the representation of that date/time. You have to look into the code to see where the problem (you may have locals with 12 hours).
If you store date/time as string - you do a big mistake!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

it's ok, but how to add milliseconds.
actually, in c# am using DateTimePicker control.this will give only (year-month-date hour:minutes:seconds)
it doesn't support milliseconds.
so , Is there any way to get the data stored in database as it is.(24 hour format)
|
|
|
|

You didn't read or didn't understand what I've told - database do not store date/time in any format but binary!!!
For proper formatting in your DateTimePicker go to the help of that specific control...

You store DateTimePicker.Value, not DateTimePicker.Value.ToString() or DateTimePicker.Text. Also make sure that you set the display format of the DateTimePicker to the format you want to see.

That statement is FALSE unless you are storing the value in the database as TEXT.
Because it is false your conclusions of what happens after that is incorrect.

Databases save datetime values as numbers.
There is no datetime format in which the computer system stores a datetime.
Once you understand this you can then understand that the format of the datetime data returned to you will be dependent on the collation of your database, when you perform a simple select,or the format you extract the data as.
All you need to remember is that the datetime value is saved, within the database, as a number and you will then understand that all formatting issues are resolvable.
N.B. for this reason never save a datetime as a string as if you do you will lose precision.

Hi Everybody,
Please note that I am not a very senior developer so want help from you guys...
We are going to start a new project which is very similar to Shopify. The proposed solution will include the following,
1. A admin site which manages Merchants. Here the merchants will have multiple stores under him.
2. A Tablet client which downloads/updates the data from/to the website using web services.
My questions is,
1. So while designing the database model whether is it a good idea to keep separate databases for each merchant or keep a single database?.
2. How much data can be kept in a single table?.
3. Regarding the scalability and maintainability which is the proper design, single database or multiple database?
4. Is there a bottle neck in MS SQL server when creating multiple databases instead of one?.
5. Which kind of sever solution in this case we need to propose, Cloud based database or Godaddy like hosting server?. Can a godaddy like hosting service provide a performance like Amazon.
Please note that we are planning to use MS SQL server for keeping the data.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitheesh George

1. Single database is the better design, there are strategies to handle large volume. Extreme data (think Google, facebook, Amazon etc) requires a different strategy but it is probably too early to begin taking that into account.
2. Much more than a startup site can expect to see.
3. See 1 - same question
4. Don't create multiple databases - removes the question.
5. Performance like Amazon is above and beyond your short/medium term expectations, I imagine they have a large dedicated team simply looking after their database systems. Any of the hosting companies will be delighted to meet you short/medium term needs.
If your database is designed properly it will be scalable, I would suggest getting a professional to design your system. An excellent specification will facilitate the design.

Separate databases with separate security credentials. You really don't want a data breach if you can possibly avoid it.

Cloud database - as you have already specified SQL Server I recommend SQL Azure.

Hi can anyone help me I don't necessarily want a solution just an idea.
I have a table e.g
ID - Start Date - End Date - Difference(Duration) - SessTotal - SessID
Now the Id is per user. and the date difference is the time spent doing something. If the difference is greater than 30 minutes I need to increment the session ID by 1.
Second I need to create a running total for session total per session.
1 session ID must also not be able to have more than 1 UserID [ID] in it's row.
|
|
|
|
|
If the Difference field is the difference between Start and End dates, then it should not be stored in the database; it should be calculated as and when required. The same goes for Session Total.
- You can modify the session Id when you insert the records.
- Calculated values can be done by program or SQL, it all depends on where you are displaying the information.
- Not sure I understand the last question

I absolutely have to display the date difference that is how the specification is made.
Let me try saying it this way:
I have to have a running total for the times until there is a 30 minute or larger gap or if a new user ID which is a different person is the next row of the dataset. then that is a session then I have to increment the session ID for each Session.
like
Update
SET [Session ID] = [Session ID] + 1
WHERE [Date difference] < 30 Minutes
OR If dates run out for this person presenting a new person.
And for then the running total must start again.  It is allot to ask I am sorry but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fine, but you should calculate it at the time you need to display it. Storing calculated values in the database is bad design and prone to error. I would suggest reading http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_datediff.asp[^].

Thank you for the function, but it is not quite solving my problem. If you could maybe give me a guideline on how I can update using this row combined with the following row. and then also group by as to not overlap users? if not then thank you for your effort.

Sorry, but my SQL skills are not very advanced. And I'm not sure that I fully understand what you are trying to achieve.

|

Yes it is quite difficult to explain as well, I would show you my query but you might puke! Thank you for your effort though!
