This may not help much, but any chance there is a double or single quote in your string that SQL is seeing as a statement terminator, but that is getting stripped before we see your nice post?

I've built an ASP.NET application in C# that takes information and encrypts this information and puts it into the database. One of the people who works with the system would like to be able to use Access to run querys on the database and return the information, While I don't think tying into an MSSQL database with access is hard, I don't know if there is any clever way to decrypt the data. Can my C# module somehow be used in Access to do this or is there even a way at all? I don't know a ton about enchanced SQL stuff but I know there are stored procedures that can do encryption or can be written for them or something like that, but I would like to try to avoid doing a re-write of all my stuff if it's possible...
Thanks!

Hello,
Is there anything in SQL Server 2000 that I can use to perform a calculation returning the minimum of 2 values. For example:
SET @value = min(@a, @b)
I realise that there is a min() aggregate function, but I don't want that as I am wanting to use this in a computed column. (I have a value calculated from other fields, but must be capped at some limit)
Any ideas?

Hi Colin. How about building your own function?
CREATE FUNCTION MinValue(@val1 decimal, @val2 decimal)
RETURNS decimal
AS
BEGIN
declare @retValue decimal;
If (@val1 < @val2)
set @retValue = @val1
Else
set @retValue = @val2
Return(@retValue);
END

Yeah! I've done something similar to that - I was just hoping that I'd missed a nice piece of documentation that says there is a built in function for it.
C'est la vie.

Hi There
Please try this (Not sure if this is what you are looking for:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Table1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Table1]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] (
[a] [int] NULL ,
[b] [int] NULL ,
[c] AS (isnull(case when (isnull([a],0) > isnull([b],0)) then (isnull([b],0)) else (isnull([a],0)) end,0))
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into [table1] values (1,3)
insert into [table1] values (22,3)
insert into [table1] values (1,1)
select [a],[b],[c] from [table1]
Selecting [c] seems to always return the smallest of [a] or [b]

Is there any way to rename a table through t-sql, other than using sp_rename.
It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.

i want to do it on MS-Sql server.

Look for sp_rename in SQLServer help.

i think you have not read my question clearly. i was looking for any sql statement not for a stored procedure. cos i want to do it in access2000.

Yes , but in your second post you have mentioned you want to do it in MSSQLServer.

AKAIK it's not possible in Access without drop / create.....(though SteveS may have a view)

Hi
I have an application where I have to open oracle database read some data and update the tables using C# and ADO.Net . I will use OLE Oracle connection for that . The problem is that I have no Idea about oracle , never used it . How are oracle files named , what are the parameteres I have to pass in my connection to be able to open the Oracle database , access the tables then update it again .
" We have either to find a way , or make one "

Here is a bit to get you started.
OracleConnection dbConn;
dbConn = new OracleConnection( "DataSource=NameOfDatabase; User ID=USERID; Password=PASSWORD" );
dbConn.Open()
To execute a query, try
string SomeSelect( "select sysdate from dual" );
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand ( SomeSelect, dbConn);
OracleDataReader query = command.ExecuteReader();
query.Read();
DateTime DBDateTime = query.GetDateTime(0);

This stuff is still going to depend upon Oracle client being installed. When you install Oracle client, it typically will walk through an initial network setup of a remote database. During this setup, you will need to provide the local name that defines the remote database. It is this local name that you provide as 'NameOfDatabase'. It is not a file name or anything like that.
I have used this code to connect to both Oracle 8 and Oracle 9 databases. While I haven't tried specifically with an Oracle 7 database, I would expect that it would still connect okay.

Talking about oracle versions , is there a major difference in operation between Oracle 8 and oracle 9 . If I am going to start learning oracle fresh , is it better to start with 8 or 9 .
We will either find a way or make one !

I don't think it will matter which version you end working with in order to learn Oracle. My recommendation though would be to take a couple of hands-on training courses. The first would either be a beginner or intermediate course in how to use SQL. Then after you have become comfortable with that knowledge and perhaps even been programming, you should step up and take a database administration course. I've always felt that my best understanding of the how/what/why Oracle does, was a result of an administration course. Good Luck to you.

This is a wierd one, 'cuz it was working just fine yesterday, and I think it has to do with _bstr_t conversions, but ....
The text in subject is that which is shown in a debug assertion error message box displayed when the m_pConn->Open(...) method shown below is called. When this line of code is executed, I am converting a CString (connectionString) to a _bstr_t. The full text of the error message is "Debug Assertion Failed! dbgdel.cpp Line: 52 _BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID". Can anyone shed some light on this error?
_bstr_t tablesNames;
_ConnectionPtr m_pConn;
m_pConn.CreateInstance (__uuidof(Connection));
CString connectionString;
if (usingAccess_1)
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = " + accessDBPath2;
else
connectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=" + mvwin32SQLsrvName + ",1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=" + mvwin32SQLsrvDB + ";" + "Trusted_Connection=Yes;";
m_pConn->Open( _bstr_t( connectionString ), _bstr_t( "" ), _bstr_t( "" ), adConnectUnspecified );

I have a function created in SQL Server 2000 that returns a comma delimited list of text values from a 1 to many table. At the client's site they use SQL Server 7.0. Can you compile Functions in SQL 7.0 or is this a new feature in 2000? If you can how do you do it? I am having difficulty compiling.
CREATE FUNCTION fn_SamplesTerminalPortWellLocationText
(
@SampleID int
)
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS .... Error Message
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'FUNCTION'. Thanks,
Michael

It's a feature that was added in SQL Server 2000. I'd consider making a stored procedure with an output parameter in your case, but it's not going to be something you can use in a SELECT statement. You may be able to still accomplish your design goals in a nice way using a view.

Thanks, creating a stored procedure is what I ended up doing. Most of the time the single output parameter would do fine. However, on the search screen they what the comma delimited list which worked fine at home on 2K but not on the client's 7.0. I'll take the view into consideration.
Thanks,
Michael
