What do you mean by key index Mika? Primary clustered index? Should I necessarily add a column as a non-key included column to a non-clustered index if I want to have full-text search on it?
Thanks

Not necessarily clustered index, but primary key or unique key of the table.
See KEY INDEX argument in CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX (Transact-SQL)[^]

Thank you. So there should be no problem. I don't know why somebody told me it's not possible to use it on fields larger than 900 bytes! Maybe I misunderstood the point.

i need to know which is the best about from dataset and coding database connection by your self.i need brief description who is better on performance.
|
|
|
|
|
Peformance in database access should be more or less the same, because basically you will have the same queries in both scenarios.
But at client side, a designed dataset will produce lots of souce code, not all really needed. I think a manually created database access will produce far less code than the designed one.
The advantage of the dataset is that is easier to mantain, add and modify the queries and views.
Best regards,
Jaime.

Hi all,
I am migrating a C++ application to C#. One of the classes can read/write DBF (dBase) files.
The question is:
Does it worth to migrate this class?
What are all the ready-made .net alternatives?
Do these alternatives have some deployment requirements?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jaime.

Only thing that comes in mind is an ODBC-driver, which can be used with OdbcConnection Class. I think Microsoft may have free drivers against dBase.

Yeah, I know about the ODBC alternative, but:
* Is it always pre-installed in common client Windows OSs? (XP home/pro, Vista home/pro) ?
* If not, how easy or complex is to configure it when deploying an application that need to use DBF files?
Best regards,
Jaime.

Don't know if it's pre-installed. I would believe that not. I think that MDAC installs also dBase drivers, but I'm not sure.
The installation of a single driver is basically copying the dll files and then registering the dll's. After that a DSN can be created programmatically or using Control Panel.

Recently I installed MDAC to have a look to an old VB6 application. It causes me some troubles while installing.
So, I think maybe would be a good idea to use my own DBF class, so I won't have deployment problems...
Best regards,
Jaime.

I have a table named test in SQL 2005 database. It has three columns (ourKey, ourData1, ourData2). Its first column (ourKey) is primary key column and it updates itself. It has one entry (1,45,56).
I would like to have another entry based on any other entry. I would like to insert entry which should produce (2,46,56)
I would like to read first entry from ourData1 then add one and rest of the table should be same.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

#table is used. What is #table?

Do yo mean something like:
INSERT INTO test (ourData1, ourData2) SELECT MAX(ourData1) + 1, MAX(ourData2) FROM test;
Tables prefixed with # are local temporary tables.

Thank you. but I was looking to copy of Nth row not the Max of colum. i.e. I want to copy 3rd row or 2nd row.
My table has three entries.
1,45,30
2,3,40
3,9,80
the 4th should be if 2 row (2,3,40) is selected
4,3,40
if 1st row (1,45,30) is selected
4,46,30
This means answer depends on selection.
But your answer helped me to understand.
this works
INSERT INTO test (ourData1, ourData2) SELECT (select ourData1 from test where ourkey = 3 ) + 1 , (select ourData2 from test where ourkey = 3 );
but is there short syntex? 
I tried something like this
Select * into #table from test where ourkey = 3
select * from #table
update #table set ourData1 = ourData1 + 1
insert into test select * from #table
But I cant not insert identity column, it is my primey key and it is default. I not have to supply it.
Otherwise it looks it works.
Kind regards

If I understood you correctly, you could modify the insert statement to following:
INSERT INTO test (ourData1, ourData2)
SELECT ourData1 + 1 , ourData2
FROM test
WHERE ourkey = 3 ;

This works fine.
But that was just an example. In real application I have many columns, so I tried with #table, which works fine, but unable to update primey key column. Please check previous reply.
Kind regards
Agha

Yes, since the primary key is autogenerated, you cannot insert into it or update it. Can't you list all of the columns instead of * and leave the primary key out? Like:
INSERT INTO Test (NotKeyColumn1, NotKeyColumn2, ...)
SELECT NotKeyColumn1, NotKeyColumn2, ... FROM #table
An alternative could be that you drop the key column from temp table before insert. Something like:
...
UPDATE #table SET ourData1 = ourData1 + 1
ALTER TABLE #table DROP COLUMN KeyColumn
INSERT INTO test SELECT NULL, * FROM #table
However, I'm not sure if it works. I added NULL to the beginning, because if you do not list the target columns in insert, you must supply a value for all columns (in the order they appear in the target table).

Thank you.
There is no need for adding null,
but it works very well.
Thank you again.

Can any one tell the query to delete only duplicate rows from any table ?
|
|
|
|
|
You need to do it in steps:
Select * into #table from mytable where 1 = 2
insert into #table select distinct * from mytable
truncate table mytable
insert into mytable select * from #table

Example Table :
Cl1 Cl2
ID SecndClmnNAme
Delete From Tab Where ID NOt In Select Distinct ID From Tab)
|
|
|
|
|
Are you sure this works? Surely, if there are duplicate rows there are duplicate ids?
I mean, if you have this
id name
1 bob
2 fred
1 bob
your query will not delete anything as all ids occur in the distinct.
Or have I missed something?
