Can you force the SELECT command to select only a single row?
Im using the following:
SELECT * from SomeTable(UPDLOCK) where....
I don´t wanna lock all the tables that the SELECT returns, I wanna lock ONLY one. Is that possable?

Hello all,
I"m trying to write the core portion of a app that will sum the total amount (Amount)of money collected from start to end of a shift(Shift_Number), then return that value to (-currently-) the Console. I can get the the app to run, take the inputs of the machine name (Location_ID) and the last shift (Shift_Number), but it failes after it takes the last input,I get "Specified cast is not valid". I've enclosed the code, the database is sql, i'm sure you could change it to northwind and find a table with some numbers to sum and check against. written in C#, and using the console app template...
any help will be most apreciated!
<code>static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
SqlConnection LoadLastConnection = new SqlConnection();
LoadLastConnection.ConnectionString = "User ID=blah;Password=Blah;Initial Catalog=sellmdat2kSQL;Data Source=jpltpharos";
LoadLastConnection.Open();
Console.Write("Please enter a Machine_Number(4 characters): ");
string Machine_Number = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Write("Please enter the Last_Shift_Number(4 characters): ");
string Last_Shift_Number = Console.ReadLine();
SqlCommand LoadLastInvoiceCmd = new SqlCommand();
LoadLastInvoiceCmd.Connection = LoadLastConnection;
LoadLastInvoiceCmd.CommandText = "SELECT sum (Amount) From Transaction_table WHERE Location_ID = @machineName and Shift_Number = @ShiftNumber" ;
LoadLastInvoiceCmd.Parameters.Add("@machineName", Machine_Number);
LoadLastInvoiceCmd.Parameters.Add("@ShiftNumber", Last_Shift_Number);
SqlDataReader dataReader = LoadLastInvoiceCmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dataReader.Read())
{
int last_invoice = dataReader.GetInt32(0);
string Amount = dataReader.GetString(1);
Console.WriteLine("Current Invoice Period is {0}\nAnd the Cash Value is {1}\nTotal Dollars", last_invoice, Amount);
}
dataReader.Close();
LoadLastConnection.Close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("An error occurred accessing the database:" + e.Message);
}
}</code>

I'd say one of these is the problem:
int last_invoice = dataReader.GetInt32(0); string Amount = dataReader.GetString(1);
It would help more than a little if you first took the time to see what line is blowing up, and checked the data in the dataReader to see what it's trying to convert. Best guess, one of these is coming back with a NULL.

ok,
so I've changed it a small bit, checked it, done the stack trace, and it is still failing,
but the catch -- e.Message is giving the following: incorrect syntax near 'transaction_ table'
and the catch -- e.StackTrace is giving the following:
at system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.executereader(commandbehavior cmdbehavior, runbehavior runbehavior, boolean returnstream)
at system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.executereader()
at reportorders.report.main(string[] args) in c:\documents and settings.....(it list the filename)report.cs:line28
Press any key to continue
line 34 is not the FROM Transaction_Table statement line...but rather the dataReader execution statement.
I've double checked query in query analizer and it works 
what am I missing here? can I not do an aggregate function with the dataReader? 
I will enclose the code again, in its modified version... (again, i'm using the C# console app template in vs.net 2003)
Also, you can comment / uncomment out the "Sequence_Number" from the query and from the
int Sequence_Number = dataReader.GetInt32(0); parts, as that is the primary key
Thanks, again...

If you look closely, your strings don't end with, or begin with a space. So you're trying to execute this:
SELECT sum (Amount)as AmountFROM transaction_table WHERE Location_id ='etc
when you want this:
SELECT sum (Amount)as Amount FROM transaction_table WHERE Location_id ='etc

ok, so that was the easy part,
now, i'm back to the earlier error of Specified cast is not found, and as you suppected the string Amount = dataReader.GetString(0); is the bad guy, but I know the value returned is not null, as i've ran the query before to test it, is my problem due to the fact that i'm creating a new field and it can't ref the new field? I know it is pulling the data down though because if i run it with the primary key i get a return that the return data is outside the boudaries of the array, which was expected due to the way sql returns the data... so ........

I've even changed my query to select sum (amount) as Amount from transaction_table where sequence_table IN (select sequence_table from transaction_table where .....); and i still get the same error, so it seems like the problem is in the creation of that new field, any thoughts?

Have you tried object o = dataReader.GetString(0) to see if you get a value at all ?

Shouldn't be, no. I don't really use datareaders, though, so I can't be sure.

The project I work on has a program which generates wrapper classes around our stored procedures, which return datasets. It's not a matter of my choice, that's just what I'm used to working with, by default.

Well, if you get any new ideas please let me know, cause this was supposed to be delivered by weeks end...
any thing will be helpful!

what about doing it in ASP.net? or vb, As i'm not restricted to C# onthis!!!

Did you step through and see if there was an object in the data reader at all, and if it was null ?
VB won't help, it's calling the same framework. Surely you can't change your whole project to ASP.NET ?

I will admit no I did not step thru, cause well idon't know how...
and yes, I could convert to asp, as that single query is the core of the project, unless i can get it to run and return the value of the 'sum (amount)' then I could write it in any language i wanted, just so much as it runs!!, the prefered method by the client was web based anyhow, I was just working in C# since it was easier to get things started, as i have tried to stay away from the web based stuff.... so, that all said, ":scratch, scratch" if you don't mind explaining how to step thru or helping me connect to sql(server) thru asp your assistance would be GREATELY apreciated.

Then I'm surprised you got this far. Highlight the line you want to stop on, and hit F9. A black dot will appear next to it. Hit F5, make sure first you're doing a debug build. Then the code will stop execution on this line, and in the bottom left is a window where you can type variable names and see their values. F10 steps through the code.
Converting to ASP.NET is easy if your middle tier is seperate from your GUI code. But it won't solve this problem.

Sorry, never called it stepping thru, just debugging it....self taught(if you want to call it that) and so far (knock on wood) this is the first real problem I've run into, that I couldn't fix by either re-writing or re-evaluating what I've written. sorry to be of a frustration.
I did step-thru or debug it and found that on the 'object o = dataReader.GetString(0);' you had me test, I am getting the following: o <undefined value=""> System.Object
and for the 'string Amount = dataReader.GetString(0);' I am returning a null, but unless i'm not pulling the correct field the data shouldn't be a null, rather a value of 331.000. Unless its not pulling the data from the variables i set with the +location_id+ which if that were the case, it seems that I would have a failure elsewhere....in the query, but it IS pushing the console.writeline values to the query, so.......

Can you select the parameter by name instead of index ? That is dataReader.GetString("Amount") ?
Doesn't look like it. What if you replace this:
"SELECT sum (Amount) From Transaction_table WHERE Location_ID = @machineName and Shift_Number = @ShiftNumber"
with this:
string.Format("SELECT sum(Amount) as TotalAmount from Transaction_table where Location_ID = {0} and Shift_Number = {1}", machine_name, shift_number)
so that you don't have to mess with parameters at all, just pass in the SQL. ( and so your result has a name )

Christian,
We had it all backwards.....
I was using the Getint32 class and while that is fine I am only trying to retrieve one result and since I was creating it as a 'virtual' column it wouldn't pull becasue I apparently was trying to read it in the .net framework data type, but it was returning .net data provider data type. SO this basically means that no matter how i queried it it was never going to convert to the correct data type unless i told it to. plus, when we tried to change the ordnal type from numeric (0,1,2,etc) to alpha ("Amount") it would not read since it only reads ordnals as numeric values. intersting huh? and if it ever helps you out, the datareader provides the fastest level of data retrieval from a DBMS if all you are doing is querying it for reading purposes, so if at work you guys never have to update or insert it may be helpfull to use it.....
who knows, maybe this will all help you or someone else out there one day.....
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
talk to you later.....but hopefully not! 
have a nice day!
Oh, by the way here's the code that paid the bills! ::::
Console.WriteLine("Current Shift Value on machine [" + Location_ID + "] is $" + dataReader["Value"].ToString());
Dim Beautiful As String
Beautiful = "ignorant"
Label1.Text = "The world is full of " & Beautiful & " people."

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to access a CSV file as an ODBC to import some data into an Oracle Database. I almost have it.
I have the connect string for Microsoft Text Driver. I have sorted out how to access the CSV file as a table. What I can't figure out how to do is get the Microsoft Text Driver to stop recognizing every field as a VARCHAR(255). This takes a horrible amoung of space and causes compatibility problems with the Oracle table I'm using.
The Microsoft Text Driver will recognize a header on a CSV file with the field names, but I can't figure out how to specify data types with the correct syntax.
Help!!!!!

With ado (not .net) if i have a RecordSet (basicly an in memory table) can i connect to it as if it where a database and run a select statment against it to return a new recordset? And if it posible would you be so kind as to include a code sniplet.
