Actually, I just discovered there is a thing called a Query Designer. I normally just write queries. I never knew about this crazy thing.
It is greyed out for me too.
Have you considered just writing the query SQL yourself? That isn't greyed out.

Yeah, I can write the query myself, but the designer is VERY helpful, and that's how I'm used to doing it.
It worked in previous versions.
This is nuts. MS help hasn't been able to find anything.

I don't fully see what you are trying to do. But if "unite all in one procedure" you mean that it all happens as one operation then you might want to look at transactions. If you wrap all of this up in a transaction it will appear as one procedure. Nothing else accessing the database will be able to see a half updated set of data. They'll either see the data as it was before the transaction, or they'll be locked out until the transaction is complete and when the lock is released they'll see it as the complete result.

i have these data in the database table, Meetings
MeetingID Details Hour Minute
1 Meeting Details1 14 10
2 Meeting Details2 14 15
how can i select all the fields of MeetingID 2?
<br />
SELECT MeetingID, Hour, Minute, Details<br />
FROM Meetings<br />
WHERE (Hour =<br />
(SELECT MAX(Hour) <br />
FROM Meetings)) AND (Minute =<br />
(SELECT MAX(Minute) <br />
FROM Meetings))<br />
but this code doesn't fetch any record
|
|
|
|

Of course it doesn't - the row with the max hour might not be the same row as the row with the max minute.
If you stored the meeting time in a single field (of type datetime or smalldatetime) which would be the right solution, this would be easy.
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Meeting ORDER BY MeetingDateTime DESC
As it is with your table you can just do
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM MEeting Order BY Hour DESC, Minute DESC
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether you search for MeetingID =2 or for which where Meeting time is maximum
I think you want to get the all detail of meeting for which meeting time is highest. use following query
SELECT *<br />
FROM mettings<br />
WHERE (hour*60+minute) =(select max(hour*60+minute) from mettings)
hope this helps

 Why? Multiply the hour by 60 and add the minutes? If anything the other way round, surely?
|
|

the math is fine, it is calculating minutes since midnight.
On a big table it could be slow...

if there are multiple records, for which Metting time is equal to Highest Metting time, then it display all records.
However your suggestion is better.

i provide my database to client and all stored procedured are open he can view ,so is there any way to encrypt the stored procudered
i have used with encryption clause it is good but it can be easily decrypted by a software which is freely available on net.

Why did you give your database-password to the client? If he can't open the damn thing, he can't peek in it

actually we have to take the database back up and then we send it to client wherein client restore the database and make changes in web config of asp.net and uses the application
so is there any way where we can lock the database so that he can not peek in or encrypt the stored procedure
|
|
|
|

You can do smart things. Just make some table with sources of your procedures encrypted in some heavy algorithm. Then decode it outside of database (or even inside through some .dll with C# CLR integration) and execute it programmatically. Or you can write stored procedure that will exec your encrypted stored procedure
Wish you luck!

Hi all,
I am using query something like that
select * from table1 where column1 = 'value1' and column2 = 'value2';
and I have created the index like this
create index index1
on table1(
column2
);
i have used only one column because column2 is usually unique and can only sometimes repeat
Will the query will use the index or do i have to create index with both columns? I am using Oracle database.
Regards
Shajeel

The program I'm working on has a screen full of project data. The client wants to be able to run a "Google like" text search across all the text/lookup fields to return matching projects. Of course they want to be able to search on phrases also, matching all words, some words, etc.
The data is spread across around 10 tables. My first thought was to use Contains() in some capacity, but the db isn't full-text indexed. I'm not sure it would help if it was.
My remaining options seem to be:
1. Concatenate all the string info for each record into a field. Build up a custom select string with multiple Like searches, one for each word in the phrase to search. Run this with exec. Pretty sure the performance will suck on this one.
or
2. Concatenate all the string info for each record into a field. Select this data into a temp table and use a cursor to delete the non-matches for each word in the phrase to search. Pretty sure the performance will suck on this one also.
Are there any options I'm missing or has anyone got any better ideas?

Well, it ranges from sucky to extremely sucky, depending on the implementation. I'm hoping to write an article about this topic in the weekend
A fast tip; why not create a shadow-table that holds the same columns, as varchar-types? It's a lot faster than converting everything on the fly, and you can let the server insert a varchar-record with a trigger from the original table.
Good luck

There's a new article (not by me btw), containing a simple search-engine algorithm[^] that could be adapted to work with SQL CE

Hi All,

IF EXISTS (SELECT RoomID,DateWhenFilled,DateWhenFree,TimeForHouseKeeping
FROM HouseKeeping)
UPDATE HouseKeeping
SET DateWhenFilled=PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFilled,
DateWhenFree=PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFree,
TimeForHouseKeeping=PresidentialSuite.TimeForHouseKeeping
where (HouseKeeping.RoomID = PresidentialSuite.RoomID
and PresidentialSuite.Available='no')
ELSE
INSERT INTO HouseKeeping (RoomID,DateWhenFilled,DateWhenFree,TimeForHouseKeeping)
select PresidentialSuite.RoomID,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFilled,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFree,
PresidentialSuite.TimeForHouseKeeping
from PresidentialSuite
where PresidentialSuite.Available='no';
Structure of both tables are not same.
with this Stored Procedure, Iam getting the error...
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
The multi-part identifier "PresidentialSuite.RoomID" could not be bound.

Are you sure that columns RoomID and Avaliable exists in table PresidentialSuite?
For more info check this google result[^].

thanks for ur reply..
yes, they exist.
and RoomID is primary key.
and if i modify the select statement (i just added braces and no other changes)
select (PresidentialSuite.RoomID,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFilled,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFree,PresidentialSuite.TimeForHouseKeeping)
then iam getting this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 14
Incorrect syntax near ','.

this T-SQL codeselect (PresidentialSuite.RoomID,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFilled,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFree,PresidentialSuite.TimeForHouseKeeping)
is not completed,it must contain from caluse to specify from which table those columns comes.

yeah, it has from clause and where clause too...
INSERT INTO HouseKeeping (RoomID,DateWhenFilled,DateWhenFree,TimeForHouseKeeping)
select PresidentialSuite.RoomID,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFilled,PresidentialSuite.DateWhenFree,PresidentialSuite.TimeForHouseKeeping
FROM PresidentialSuite
where PresidentialSuite.Available='no';
