Hi. I have some questions for you:

How the field, which has type "counter", can be read/write (in DB Access)?
How the program can get the unique number for this key-field (in DB Access)?

How the field, which has type "MEMO", can be read/write (in DB Access)?

You don't mention which database technology you are using, so I am going to assume SQL Server 2000.

INSERT database.schema.table
SELECT fieldnames
FROM otherdatabase.otherschema.othertable

schema is usually dbo, unless you have changed it.

This exemple I'm using SQL Server and reading Informix Database... If you are using SQL Server try "OpenQuery".

SELECT cd_EmpresaOPTV, dtfechamento
FROM
OpenQuery(infempfk, 'select E.cd_EmpresaOPTV, F.dtfechamento from geempresa E, fecctbilunid F where E.id_empresa=F.idempgrp And F.idmodulo=19 and E.cd_EmpresaOPTV is not null ')

If you using only Sql Server:

insert into samcpd05.online.dbo.invent
select name,phone from samcpd29.onlinehist.dbo.invent_hist

In this example we have two databases in two servers samcpd05 and samcpd29...

Creating a FireBird Database Programmatically

Dear all,

I am using FireBird .Net Adapter and able to create FB database using below code (C#):

Hashtable parameters = new Hashtable();
parameters.Add("User", UserName);
parameters.Add("Password", Password);
parameters.Add("Database", @FilePath);
parameters.Add("ServerType", 1);

FbConnection.CreateDatabase(parameters);

After creating the database, I am able to open it using FBConnection for the first time. But after that, whenever I open the database, I am getting this error:

internal gds software consistency check (Internal error code (165))

Any idea? Thanks. Smile | :)

You need to cast one of the values to a float, then the whole calculation will be a float. For example:

SELECT (cast(1 as float)/2)

longblob column in MySQL database table

kd83416-May-05 10:49

6-May-05 10:49

I am using DataSet to insert a data row which contains a 6MByte binary file in "Data" column.

According to the MySQL manual for 4.0, I define the "Data" column as "longblob", which suppose to store up to 4GByte file. But it just doesn't work.

With the exact same code, if my data is less than 100KByte, it works fine.

Can anybody tell if I have to config anywhere else to make this work?

From MySQL 4.0, the maximum allowed length of LONGBLOB columns depends on the configured maximum packet size in the client/server protocol and available memory.

I just wonder what "client/server protocol" refers to? How can I figure out the maximum packet size?

In my stored procedure in sqlserver i used OUTPUT Parameters, im not sure i can do this in MYSQL as im not using stored procedure;

this is my code;

' the connection string
myconnection = New MySqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))

' the query
strSQL = "SELECT ?SubDesc=SubDesc, ?SubName=SubCatName FROM SubCategory WHERE SubcatID = ?SubID;"
mycommand = New MySqlCommand(strSQL, myconnection)

' Input Parameter
Dim parameterSubID As MySqlParameter = New MySqlParameter("?SubID", SubCatID)
mycommand.Parameters.Add(parameterSubID)

' Output Parameter
Dim parameterSubCatDesc As MySqlParameter = New MySqlParameter("?SubDesc", MySqlDbType.String, 500)
parameterSubCatDesc.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
mycommand.Parameters.Add(parameterSubCatDesc)

Dim parameterSubName As MySqlParameter = New MySqlParameter("?SubName", MySqlDbType.String, 50)
parameterSubName.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
mycommand.Parameters.Add(parameterSubName)

' execute read
myconnection.Open()
mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
myconnection.Close()

Label1.Text = CStr(parameterSubCatDesc.Value)
Label2.Text = CStr(parameterSubName.Value)

Stored Procedure headache

Vodstok6-May-05 3:14

Vodstok

6-May-05 3:14

I wrote a stored procedure to do a simple update to a table in one of my dbs:

ALTER PROCEDURE usp_cmrapprupd<br />
(@id nvarchar(50),@name int,@appr nvarchar(1))<br />
AS<br />
UPDATE approvers SET approver_identifier = @name, approved_by_approver = @appr<br />
<br />
WHERE identifier = @id

now, with the exception of @id being an nvarchar, this stored procedure is identicle to another one for another table. the only difference between the two tables is that one uses integers as the id, and the other uses nvarchars.

the update on the int table works just dandy, but the one listed about keeps giving me the following error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_approvers'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'approvers'.

What is giving me a headache is how am I violating primary key constraints if i am doing an update rather than insert?

Update:
OKay, I discovered a consistancy. The table uses both identifier and approver_identifier as primary keys. If i try to update something with a single instance of identifier, it works (example, identifier 1-1 has 3, 1-1 with approver_identifier of 1, 1-1 with approver_identifier of 2, etc, i get the error. however, if i have an identifier of 4-1 and only an approver_identifier of 1, the update works)

Any ideas?

Okie dokie... Iguess this works the same as venting to a stranger.. Putting things out for others to see makes you look it over in a new light. I figured it out:

ALTER PROCEDURE usp_cmrapprupd<br />
(@id nvarchar(50),@name int,@appr nvarchar(1))<br />
AS<br />
UPDATE approvers SET approved_by_approver = @appr<br />
<br />
WHERE identifier = @id AND approver_identifier = @name

Apparently, the proc didnt know which field to update (which makes sense when you dont specify both identifiers....)

This procedure works like a charm. Thanks for letting me complain Smile | :)

Hi there. I may have offered that too soon - I saw it used in some MySql .NET Connector examples and thought it may be something to look at. As I look at the .chm documentation, it indicates that the method is not yet supported (?) But then there is a different section that describes the following:

4.3.2. Preparing Statements in MySQL Connector/NET
To prepare a statement, create a command object and set the .CommandText property to your query.

After entering your statement, call the .Prepare method of the MySqlCommand object. After the statement is prepared, add parameters for each of the dynamic elements in the query.

After you enter your query and enter parameters, execute the statement using the .ExecuteNonQuery(), .ExecuteScalar(), or .ExecuteReader methods.

For subsequent executions, you need only modify the values of the parameters and call the execute method again, there is no need to set the .CommandText property or redefine the parameters.

So now I'm not sure which is right.

This works with ADO,

CString sql = _T("SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;DATABASE=" + strExcelFileLoc + <br />
   "].[" + strWorksheetName + "] FROM [" + strTable + "]");<br />
<br />
DB->Execute(sql.AllocSysString());

The results are outputted strait to the excel file specified by strExcelFileLoc.

Hope this helps....

Two counts of rows with different criteria

Luis Alonso Ramos5-May-05 19:34

Luis Alonso Ramos

5-May-05 19:34

Hello,

I have a child table that contains rows related to a parent table. I would like, in a single SELECT query for the parent table, to have two counts, one for rows in the child table that match a certain criteria, and another that match some other criteria.

A simple example, a table of Classrooms, with a child table Students, where each student is either male of female; and the query should return ClassroomID, NumMales, and NumFemales.

I can easily get only one count (males for example) using GROUP BY with something like:

SELECT COUNT(StudentID) AS NumMales FROM Students
    GROUP BY Sex WHERE Sex = 0

but I can't find a way to get two different aggregate functions to work on the same table.

In my case it's actually a bit more complicated, because I have three tables related. But a little pointer on how to do it with two tables should help me get started.

Any ideas? Thanks!
