Could you try :
<br />
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (SELECT * FROM table2)<br />
or something similar
Perhaps even
<br />
CREATE TABLE table2 AS (SELECT * FROM table1)<br />
Can't remember exact syntax though (as you might have guessed)

If anybody has ever had the need to provide progress while a lengthy stored procedure is executing, I've written up an article with code and a sample project, that illustrates how it can be done. Even though I used SQL Server and Visual Basic 6.0 in the example code, the mechanism can be used with any database engine and any development environment, including internet applications.
The full article can be found at http://punctualgraphics.com/Articles/A20030711/A20030711_p01.htm

Hi,
I'm in desperate need of someone that can help me import data from http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/padlib.asp into my sql database from xoops.
Is there anyone who can help me setup a script of some kind to do this?
Any help/info is really appreciated 
thanks

I am writing a utility which will delete all existing records in a table and then add new records using ADO.NET (and C#). I define a Data Table with the same schema as the database table and then use the SqlDataAdaper Update method to add rows to the database table. This works fine if I first delete all the rows from the database table using the SQL Server 2000 Query Analyzer. I simply use the statement "DELETE FROM ". I wish to add code that will do this as a preliminary to repopulation. I have created an SqlDeleteCommand and set its Command Text to "DELETE FROM ". Then I set the DeleteCommand property of the SqlDataAdapter object to this object. I then call the adapter's Update method passing it a DataTable with the same schema as the database table but with 0 rows. It is my understanding that the Update method would attempt to reconcile the differences between DataTable and database table by calling invoking the SQL Delete statement. This does not happen. Can anyone help me clean the rows out of the database table programmatically?

Forget about using DeleteCommand property. Just use Delete() method of DataRow. And after that use Update() method f SqlDataAdapter. This cause first row delete from your DataTable and then they updated in database. See MSDN and search this site for sample codes.

I'm not sure how you would execute this with ADO.NET, but there is a SQL DBA command 'truncate table tablename'. If you want all data contents removed prior to loading new data, this method will be much more performant. It may be possible to put this command in a stored procedure, but I can't recall for sure.

Sure you can put it on a SP, but it won't work if the table has foreign keys.

Also, Truncate Table will not cause the triggers to fire if they are present on the table.
It is the fastest way to remove all rows from a table.

Hi,
I'm new here & not sure if tis question could be posted here or not. I need help with tis problem. I'm using Ms Access for the db with the fID as autonumber. i'm shown an error "Operation must use an updateable query" when i click on e OK button. the vb.net code is
If (txtName.Text = " " OrElse txtEmail.Text = " " OrElse txtCountry.Text = " " OrElse txtSubject.Text = " " OrElse txtMsg.Text = "") Then
lblErrMsg.Text = "Please Fill In Every Field"
Else
sql = " insert into tbforum(Name, Email, Country, Subject, Message, MsgDateTime)values('" & Me.txtName.Text & "', '" & Me.txtEmail.Text & "' , '" & Me.txtCountry.Text & "' , '" & Me.txtSubject.Text & "', '" & Me.txtMsg.Text & "' , '" & Me.lblDate.Text & "' )"
conn = New OleDbConnection(connstr)
conn.Open()
dbcomm = New OleDbCommand(sql, conn)
End If
if i put the fID in the first field, it would still show me the same prblem
Can anyone pls help me with this problem?

Check your connection string. Access DBs open as read-only, I believe, unless you specify an optional parameter.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

I'm just getting into Inner Join methods. I've got a query that extracts a whole heap of data from my database using the following query:
"SELECT MainPosts.PostTitle, MainPosts.PostDate, MainPosts.PostTime " +
"FROM ((MainPages INNER JOIN MainPosts ON MainPages.PageID = MainPosts.PageID) " +
"INNER JOIN Members ON MainPosts.PosterID = Members.AccountID) " +
"WHERE (MainPages.PageName = 'Main') " +
"ORDER BY MainPosts.PostDate DESC, MainPosts.PostTime DESC"
Now, this works ok, i get a populated dataset. But i'm trying to get my head round a few things.
How is this query represented in a dataset?
It seems that i only have 1 table called table. Is this how it's supposed to work? I was expecting to get a table of the appropriate name, or a set of tables in the dataset of the appropriate names.
That's relatively trivial though.
My biggest dillema is deffining a delete call for it. If i delete an entry, or sign it off to delete, how does this behave? Can i delete something in this table, and have it removed only from the Posts table?
I'm a bit hazy.
Regards
Cata

It will be represented in the dataset as one table with the columns PostTitle, PostDate, and PostTime.
I usually use XSD diagrams to keep my tables separated and build the relationship between them.
You can delete specific tables depending on how you define the DeleteCommand.
From your SQL statement I'm assuming that you're deleting the records based on the PageID.
Here's an example of delete statement that will delete the record in MainPosts when you delete the record in the recordset:
DELETE FROM MainPosts
WHERE PageID = ?
You have to supply the PageID parameter into the DeleteCommand. I find that using Visual Studio .NET makes my job easier

D'oh! It's that simple?
hahahahaha!
I use VS.net to design my SQL statements and build my DLL components that i use in my page.
I'm always looking for anything new to learn, is it worth learning XSD / XML to construct, shape and manage datasets?

Oh yeah, it is worth learning XML and XSD. You'll find that it's much easier to use XSD for datasets.

Hi all,
I am having some problem converting SQL Server stored procedures to Oracle. The stored procedures with statement like
SELECT TOP 1 FROM SOME_TABLE does not export. It complains about 1. So, what would be the Oracle equivalant of Top 1 ??
Thanks,
Pankaj
Without struggle, there is no progress

You can use rownum in Oracle to do this.
SELECT * FROM Some_Table WHERE rownum < 2 If a specific sort or filter is necessary, you can perform that as a subquery, then select from that result using rownum. This selects the top 5:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT *
FROM Some_Table
WHERE Some_Field = 'Value'
ORDER BY Some_Other_Field
)
WHERE rownum < 6;
|
|
|
|
|
This would not work in SQL Server neither.
It should be:
Select top 1 * From SOME_TABLE

I posted this over on the ASP.NET forums but didn''t hear much of anything. So I guess I'm cross posting....
I have an application that has stores sensitive data in an SQL server and I am currently handling this through my ASP.NET application using the encryption classes in C#.
One of the things we would eventually like to be able to do is use other programs (like Microsoft Access) to run advanced Querys on the tables and retrive the data. With the encyption being done in C#/ASP all that would be returned would be the encrypted data.
I wondering if there is a way to build a layer to encrypt/decrypt data at the database level, my searches haven't yeiled to much info (As well as a trip to Borders) as I haven't seen any books that even touch on this.
I don't know a lot about SQL right now (Mainly only MySQL so Stored Procs and all that stuff are really new to me) so I don't know if I would go about it this way or not? (Using a stored procedure)
Can anyone reccommened where I should start to learn about accomplishing this? Books are usually the best help but I'll take any kind of information that can be thrown my way
Thanks!

I don't think any T-SQL statements can do that for you , why don't you write a web serice which do that encryption/encryption. It suit this situation.

If it's a web service though would you still be able to tie into it with 3rd party programs (mentioned above) and still have it decrypt the data?

I don't know exacly what do you mean. Any platform can comunicate with web service. So you do can do your encryption and decryption in the web serivce. I mwan you send request to web service , then it send the request to your database and get encrypted data , you decrypt data in web service and send it back to client. So no problem. I don't know exactly how to communicate from Access to a web service , if you can write VB module there , then you can use Soap ToolKit and do that. Is that clear?

This seems like a good solution. As mentioed I would have to figure out
A) How to send a request to the web service (Hopefully this could even just be my select string with some logon info or something)
B) What type of Data would be needed to send back to the client (Don't know if it would be easy as just passing a data grid)
What would be nuce is my main ASP app could use the same method just to encrypt decrypt the data. It's something to look into. Thanks!

Oh , thats a long topic , you can use authentication too in web serive. Chris have introduction article about web service. Web Service is not very comlpicated topic , you send/recieve any datatype.
You can use it in the same way in your ASP.NET pages too. I really too lazy to describe all these topics , they are very simple and you can find lots of info about them in books and googling.

You can create an extended procedure - basically a C function exported from a dll you write. You can then attach it to MSSQL and use it the same way you would use a stored procedure.
