It is not a theory, it is a fact. You can do this so long as you log on to the database as a user with ddl_admin, db_onwer or sysadmin privileges.

Thanks for clearing that up. I need to write it down   .

I have a vb.net application that:
Loops through a list of tables (could be up to 1000 tables)
Extracts all records in the table writes them to a datareader
Opens a connection to a different odbc data source and creates a dataset with a table with the same name as the tables in the loop
Uses newrow to create a new row
Updates data common to all tables ( a companyid)
Uses row.add to add the row to the table
At this stage all columns in the row appear to be populated correctly.
However when I do dataadapter.update() All rows are added to the source table but only the primary key is populated.
I've used commandbuilder.getinsertcommand to see what insert string is being used and the insert is only trying to insert the primary key (3 columns)
Datasource is a Progress database (Version 10b)
Using ODBCDataadapter to read and write the data.

DataAdapter and CommandBuilder are not the best objects to use for this. You need to learn how to write your own insert commands as .NET will not write efficient commands for you - most of the time I will create slow commands that guarantee the right result but only because they act by brute force.
Create your own command object giving it an INSERT command that you define. You can then call ExecuteNonQuery() to insert the row. This will also be faster.

Colin, Thank you for the feedback
I was hoping to use the automatically generated insert command for the following reasons:
It's possible that it will processing over 1000 different tables
Some of these tables contain approx 140 columns
I don't have control over the database so I won't necessarily know when changes are made
I can't add stored procedures to the database to do the inserts
I suppose I could use code to build the command in another loop - but I was hoping to avoid this

Hi, i have have build an access database application. What i want to know is how to audit the user activities (open form, close form, print report...) in my database?

Access does not have such capabilities.
You can however create a table and insert the actives into it which you would like to record.

Thank you very much for your comment. I also prepare to record user activities in a table as the second solution. Now already develop half of this task and this is my first time to design an application with auditing user activities.

Using SQLXML, Bulk Insert XML with IDENTITY Column ...
I have a program that will insert xml data into a table using the SQLXML Bulk Load COM Object. The bulk load is successful when I supply the RecordId in the xml. When I add an IDENTITY column to the table then the bulk load fails with the following error:
[Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RecordId', table 'Alphanumericdata.dbo.MacgowanTestCust'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.]
From the following article, XML Bulk Load ignores elements and attributes that are not mapped (either because they are not described in the schema, or because they are annotated in the XSD schema with sql:mapped="false"). All unmapped data goes into the overflow column, if such a column is specified by using sql:overflow-field.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlxml3/htm/bulkload_9w9w.asp
I have attempted using sql:mapped="false" in the schema file and not using it .. both fail with the “nulls not allowed” error.
I have also set the KeepIdentity(true) to my pISQLXMLBulkLoad object.
Below is the table, xml, xsd and code ...
Any comments or answers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

hi everyone,
In my company, 4 users are accessing the sql server with a username and a password, they are developers, they have rights to create tables, fields, insert rows, deleting rows,...
how can I trace which computer make an insert or delete.
for example if a user make an insert into a table from SQL Server enterprise manager by writing an insert query, how can i know which computer make this action?
is that possible?
thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, but this give me the computer name when a row is added, when a row is updated or deleted nothing is logged.
I can't know who update a specific record.
any other idea.
thanks again.

I have solved this problem in a different way. When the user logs in to the application, I insert the kerberos user id and the hostname in a Activity table. But there is a limitation. One user cannot start two instances of the application from the same host.
So when there is a update or delete or insert, I pick up the value from this table.
Everytime the user logs in, I clear the Activity for that user in a host machine.
CREATE PROCEDURE ValidateUser (
@userid varchar(10) )
AS
DECLARE @cnt int
BEGIN
DELETE FROM Activity
WHERE Host = host_name()
INSERT INTO Activity VALUES(host_name(),@userid)
SELECT @cnt = count(*)
FROM Users
WHERE ID = @userid
IF @cnt = 1
SELECT 1
ELSE
SELECT 0
END
In the trigger I do something like
IF @@rowcount = 0
RETURN
SELECT @user = CurrentUser
FROM Activity
WHERE Host = host_name()
IF UPDATE(Column1)
INSERT INTO AuditTrail
SELECT @user,getdate(),'Table1','Column1' --blah blah
FROM deleted,inserted
WHERE -------------------
Does this help.

GetChanges() returns nothing here,
right after a row is deleted.
and there is actually 1 row removed from the dataset,
how is this possible?
dsCustomers.GetChanges() gives the same results.
dsCustomers.Tables(0).Rows.Remove(dsCustomers.Tables(0).Rows(cm.Position))<br />
<br />
Dim DataSetDeleted As DataSet = dsCustomers.GetChanges(DataRowState.Deleted)<br />
If Not DataSetDeleted Is Nothing Then<br />
daCustomers.Update(DataSetDeleted)<br />
dsCustomers.AcceptChanges()<br />
End If
|

From what i understand you need to call the delete method of the datarow.
Calling the remove method removes the row entirely (it is gone and the rowcount is reduced). When you call the getchanges method with the deleted parameter it looks for rows marked as deleted. as you have used remove there are no rows that fit this description. If you call the delete method it simply marks the row as deleted. GetChanges with then report that row as deleted and you can call an update.

Agreed.
Please call DataRow.Delete() instead.

hi,
how can i hold text of veeery big size? varchar max is 8000 bytes, and text type by default is text(16) in my mssql server.. maybe there are some algorithms or something else..
|
|
|
|
|
|
Actually... text(16) doesn't mean it only holds 16 characters... look it up, this type is REALLY big.

code parser for what ?
you could have a look at my VisualCalc, even if it is mathematics oriented, but the general idea for writing a parser is still preserved. if you have any question on it, you can ask on the forum at the bottom of the article...

I'm trying to use RSA to protect incoming packets of data containing changed passwords.
My first idea was to use c# and the RSACryptoServiceProvider to generate the key information and to save the privatekeyinfo in a db table. The keys would then be replenished every x minutes. This seemed slightly wrong, as the private key info could be intercepted and used to impersonate a user changing the password.
I then discovered that there is a CREATE ASSYMETRIC KEY x_y_z WITH ALGORITHM RSA_x feature in SQL server. I have created the master keys and generated the key-pair, but i am at a loss as to how to retrieve the public key info so i can send it to the clients.
Any pointers would really helpful,

hi everybody,
I have a small question concerning the use of ToWords() method that is embeded within Crystal Report.This function translates numeric values into their coresponding words value ex:150 --> One handred and fifty.
The problem I got is that I got an automatic english conversion of my numeric values where I need french corresponing string value. Is there any way I can swish it to french? Or how can I add my function, that does the french translation, to the crystal report embeded functions?
If anyone can help pls do.
Learning is never ending

to add your own function create a COM dll whose name starts with CRUFL and place it in the same directory as u2lcom.dll on your machine. Functions declared in the dll will now be available to crystal reports.
I've used this before to translate report labels.
