What kind of data is in the table?
What is the primary key for the table?
How many rows in the table?
what is the data type for the input parameters?
how many other columns in the table (the query doesn't look syntactically correct- shouldn't it be "select count(*) from [tablename] where [columnname] between..."
What were the timing results (and on what platform), and what were your expectations.
In other words, a little more info might help someone help you... Perhaps even some example code (closing and re-opening the connection on every iteration can be a performance killer...)

There are two tables related to select statement: Logs and Users
Logs(3 columns) 1500 rows
LogID(auto number; it is the PK) room(number) LogTime dateTime
eg. 1 301 10/12/2004
Reserchers(3 columns) 3 rows
resID(auto number; it is the PK) room(number) project(text)
eg. 8722 301 ‘computer vision’
Stored procedure:
PARAMETERS startDate DateTime, endDate DateTime;
SELECT Count(*)
FROM Logs AS l, Researchers AS r
WHERE (((l.LogTime) Between [startDate] And [endDate])) And l.room=r.room And r.project='computer vision';
My desktop: CPU: PIII733; Memory 256MB
Development tools: VS.Net2003 and MS Access
In the application program I simply use a for loop with start date and end date decreasing.
Array.Add((int)this.odbCommand.ExecuteScalar());
After leave the connection open only once the main form is created then close it in the form's dispose method. I got timing results: 7 seconds to retrieve the 50 results, and I expect it takes less than one second.

First, I would note that the autonumber columns are serving no useful purpose other than to satisfy Access's desire that you give a table a PK. They have no relation to the data in either table. Typically one would use an autonumber in one table as the foreign key in related tables to related data in different tables (in your case the related data seems to be the room number, so it might have made sense to used the resID from Researchers as a foreign key in the logs table instead of room number, this would at least have insured that all the records in Logs matched a record in Researchers - assuming that this is expected).
A join might make this a bit faster:
"select Count(*) from Logs as L inner join Researchers as R on L.room = R.room
Where r.project = 'computer vision' and L.Logtime >= [startDate] and L.LogTime <= [endDate]" (The >=/<= operators are equivalent to the Between operator, but could be faster depending on the SQL parser)
You should also create an index on the room and logdate fields in the Logs table ( in the field properties for each, change indexed to "Yes, duplicates allowed" )
using the System.data.oledb namespace equivalents may be faster than the system.data.odbc ones, the oledb stuff is newer, and likely more optimised for .Net and the Jet engine.
256 MB is a pretty small footprint these days, you may want to insure that you aren't page swapping. Also, access is a file based database, and not a very performant one at that, so your expectations could be a bit high. You're seeing about 140 ms per query and expecting > 20. Make sure the database is compacted before running your tests, if the database is internally fragmented (from a lot of development changes or data deletion) it could markedly effect the results.

i use some codeto search on access db
suppose on table T there is two fields ArtistID(Integer) , status(Text)
i got error on :
.
.
.
public string GetCOMMTXT()
{
string sql="select * from T whre";
int ArtistID = 5;
string Status = "A";
sql += "artistID = " + ArtistID + " " ;----> there is no Error
sql += "status = " + "'"+Status+"'";----> there is Error
or if i wrote
sql += "status = " +Status;----> there is Error
.
.
.
return sql;
}
what should i do?

I'd fix the error.
First, the code you've presented here is not the code you've got a problem with because there are more errors in it than you present. For instance, the word "where" is misspelled.
Second, and I'm sure I've told you this before, you should use parameterised queries. Then you don't need to worry about stringing together fragments of SQL like this. And, it also improves the security of your application, reducing the risk that someone will be able to successfully launch an attack on it. For more information you can read SQL Injection Attacks and Tips on How to Prevent Them[^]. This acticle actually shows you how to use parameterised queries. I don't know why you don't use them. It makes everything so much easier.
Just for your information - I fully expect you to change this to use parameterised queries - The reason for the error is that you need to put an AND or OR between the conditions in a WHERE clause.
Another tip, put a breakpoint on the return statement and examine the contents of the sql string - it is much easier to read that than trying to decipher what the string should look like based on code that concatenates lots of little strings together.

I do waht you told but get
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'AND( styleID = @styleID )'.
my method is :
public static IDataReader GetFilteredProduct( FilterEN filterEN )
{
OleDbConnection oleDbConnection;
OleDbCommand oleDbCommand = new OleDbCommand();
OleDbDataReader oleDbDataReader = null;
oleDbCommand.CommandText = "select Product.productID , Product.productName ,
Product.productInfo , Product.productPrice ,
Product.dateOfInsert , Product.status ,
Product.artistID , Artist.artistName from Product
inner join Artist on Product.artistID =
Artist.artistID ";
oleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection (ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DbC"]);
try
{
oleDbConnection.Open();
string boolian = ( filterEN.Boolian == 1 ? "OR" : "AND" );
if ( filterEN.StyleID > 0 || filterEN.ArtistID > 0 )
{
oleDbCommand.CommandText += " where ";
}
if ( filterEN.StyleID > 0 )
{
oleDbCommand.CommandText += boolian + "( styleID = @styleID )";
OleDbParameter paramStyleID = new OleDbParameter ( "@styleID" ,
OleDbType.Integer );
paramStyleID.Value = filterEN.StyleID;
oleDbCommand.Parameters.Add ( paramStyleID );
}
if ( filterEN.ArtistID > 0 )
{
oleDbCommand.CommandText += boolian + "artistID = @artistID ";
OleDbParameter paramArtistID = new OleDbParameter ( "@artistID" ,
OleDbType.Integer );
paramArtistID.Value = filterEN.ArtistID;
oleDbCommand.Parameters.Add ( paramArtistID );
}
oleDbCommand.Connection = oleDbConnection;
oleDbDataReader = oleDbCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
}
catch( Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
return oleDbDataReader;
}

You should put a breakpoint at the start of this code and watch the CommandText being built up. You will then see where your logic error is.
You are adding an AND immediately after the WHERE and this is causing a syntax error. WHERE AND( styleID = @styleID ) is not valid. You need to check in your code whether a filter expression has already been placed in the WHERE clause. Obviously, for StyleID you don't need to check as this is the first filter expression, so nothing comes before it. You can remove the boolian+ (by the way that should be spelt "boolean") in the line that adds the StyleID to the SQL Statement.

The title says it all really.
I am looking for something that will allow me to put an LDAP frontend onto and MSSQL server. i.e. Application creates and LDAP query that is received by the LDAP frontend, but the return data is in an MSSQL database.
Does anybody have any information/links on how this can be done?
post.mode = postmodes.signature;
SELECT everything FROM everywhere WHERE something = something_else;

if it is an integer field, set the "identity" property to true and the "increment" property to 1.

Hello..
I am connected with a database paradox through Jet Driver.
L " Provider=Microsoft. Jet. OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = \\ server\db; Extended Properties=Paradox 5. X; ".
The problem, other program working through DBE does not give me to open the tables.
How to me to force to work two programs in common?
|

|
|

If the "other program" is holding open exclusive locks on the tables, you may be out of luck.

I do not think that she(it) absolutely blocks the tables, as other copies of this program started in parallel perfectly work with this base
|
|

The make sure you aren't trying to get an exclusive lock (check for connection string properties, I can't help much here as I have no recent experience with Paradox. Played with it some 10 or 15 years ago, but...).

Cant use wildcards with "LIKE" accessing oracle database
objDv = FilterDataSet(objDs, "SUPERVISOR_NAME LIKE 'se_n'")
where objDs is the data set
should return "sean" but is not
not fimilar with wildcards any ideas?
Cheers
|
|

|

Hai,
objDv = FilterDataSet(objDs, "SUPERVISOR_NAME LIKE '%se_n%'")
use this '%' sign some times it works if the data contained in a word or spaces added to that data.
underscore may not work in certain situations.

I want to write some data in SQL Server 2000 in a language <B>other than English</B>. plz help me, coz there seem to be no way of doing it...
Thanx

I've put data in SQL Server in languages other than English and had no problems. The main thing to remember is that for string columns, use nchar and nvarchar.
If this does not answer your question then you need to be more specific. What are you trying to do? And what happens that doesn't work.

Thanks Colin
I've tried that using nchar but it shows some symbols of squares and something like that, Am I using a wrong font or what?
Thanx
And waiting for your answer

FROM tbl_transaction_history INNER JOIN tbl_user_earned ON tbl_transaction_history.uid = tbl_user_earned.uid
GROUP BY tbl_transaction_history.uid
HAVING (((tbl_transaction_history.uid)=1));
i tryied to execute this using PHPMYADMIN but this not working ,i got below error
