Hey, Jude. Don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.
(sorry - couldn't resist)
Okay - now I'm guessing you're not using parameterized queries for your Insert statement. Using parameterized queries is a good thing. Not using them is a bad thing. Can you show the code snippet that is causing the error and I can confirm (or reject) this suspicion?
|
|
|
|
|
you are correct...let me change the the code...if it doesn't work then I'll post a snippet.
Thanx!
|
|
|
|
|
But when you change it, please do consider using real parameters... it is a big help to prevent
SQL injection attacks[^].
|
|
|
|
|
In other words, create a stored procedure with parameters?
|
|
|
|
|
That would be one way. Or you could use a regular insert statement with parameters. If you're using Sql Server for example, your CommandText could look like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable
(Column1, Column2, Column3)
Values
(@val1, @val2, @val3) In this example, @val1, @val2, and @val3 would be the parameters. Then you add SqlParameter objects to your SqlCommand's Parameters collection (I like using the method AddWithValue like this psudo-code:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(...);
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO...";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@val1","theValue");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@val2",intOtherValue);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@val3",dateTimeThirdValue);

Ok...had to vpn to the office and grab the code and database.
Heres what I have in C# Code
SqlCommand cmdUpdateTime = new SqlCommand("SetTime",conn);
cmdUpdateTime.Parameters.Add("@EmpNumber",SqlDbType.Int).Value = m_intEmployeeID;
cmdUpdateTime.Parameters.Add("@TimeIn",SqlDbType.SmallDateTime).Value = DateTime.Now;
switch(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek)
{
case DayOfWeek.Wednesday:
cmdUpdateTime.ExecuteNonQuery();
break;
}
conn.Close();
}
catch (SqlException caught)
{
MessageBox.Show(caught.Message,"Error");
}
and here is the Stored Procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.SetTime
(
@EmpNumber int,
@TimeIn smalldatetime
)
AS
INSERT INTO Emptime(EmpID,WedIn)
VALUES(@EmpNumber,@TimeIn)
RETURN
What I am getting nw is the error:
Incorrect syntax near "SetTime"
???
Thanx for all your help!
|
|
|
|
|
Try setting the CommandType of your SqlCommand object to CommandType.StoredProcedure.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanx a bunch! Hopefully I may be able to pay the favor forward one day 
|
|

Ok..Now I don't understand this...I am getting an error in the Stored Procedure Designer
ADO error:Incorrect syntax near DECLARE
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.SetTime
/* (
)
*/
DECLARE @MySqlStr nvarchar(100)
RETURN
I had more commands and variablea, but I kept on getting the same error, so I cut it down to just that one line.
Here is the whole thing:
CREATE PROCEDURE db.SetTime
(
@EmpId int,
@TimeIn smalldatetime,
@NameOfTable nvarchar(10)
)
DECLARE @MySqlStr nvarchar(100)
SET @MySqlStr = "INSERT INTO " + @NameOfTable + "( EmpID,TimeIn) VALUES(@EmpId,@TimeIn)"
EXEC sp_sqlexec @MySqlStr
I googled and searched, but this error message seems very dynamic, and I do't get it...
Thanx again

Are you leaving out an AS keyword?
CREATE PROCEDURE myProc
(
@var1 int
,@var2 nvarchar(10)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @myVar nvarchar(100)
-- ... blah blah blah ...
RETURN
END
|
|
|
|
|
syntax,syntax,syntax...
Thanx
|
|
|

Ok Got it working (first module) as far as functionality. But I have a problem with what is actually writing to the database. Here is the command in question:
cmdUpdateTime.Parameters.Add("@TimeIn",SqlDbType.SmallDateTime).Value = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
Using the debugger, after this command, this parameter is in the format "HH:mm:ss AM/PM", but is being stored as "MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss: AM/PM"
Why is this?
Thanx again ( and again...)

Hi,
I have 2 tables, t_a, t_b:
They are linked by a common_idd fieldd.
I want to find out the rows in t_a, but not in t_b.
My sql like:
select * from t_a where t_a.common_id not in (select common_id from t_b)
it works, but because there are so so many rows in both of the 2 tables, it runs so so so slow!!!
I am using Access, is there any way to implement the same function???
please help me!!
Thank a lot!

Since it's Access, you may not be able to speed it up anyway!
But try this
select * from t_a
where not exists ( select t_b.common_id from t_b
where t_b.common_id != ta.common_id
)
As long as the field common_id is INDEXED on both tables it should be much faster.

Hi,
I have created 2 tables in Visual Studio 2005, and am attempting to access the Database Diagrams. When I am not connected to our network domain, I get the message, "This database does not have a valid dbo user... Do you want to make yourself the dbo of this database in order to use database diagramming?" I then select "Yes", but then I receive the message that, "This database does not have a valid dbo user, or you do not have permissions to impersonate the dbo user".
As soon as I connect to our network, I have no problems. But If I want to take my work home, I cannot access the Database Diagrams.
My question is, how do I create a valid dbo user in Visual Studio 2005 SQL Express edition?
Thanks in advance,

How can we retrive the day(Sunday,Monday....etc) of a date
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the following code:
<br />
lblDay.Text=Format(Now().Today, "dddd")<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Is it in C# or SQL?
In C#, use the DayOfWeek[^] property.
In T-SQL use DATEPART[^] to get the weekday part.
I hope this helps!

Hi all,
im having problems using a alias name to perform calculations in the select clause. My code is as follows:
SELECT<br />
<br />
CASE WHEN STK_SORT_KEY2 = 'TREND' THEN ([OD_UNITCST] * (1 - ISNULL(dbo.TrendDiscount.Discount, '0.32'))) ELSE 0 END as Expr2, <br />
[Expr2] / [OD_UNITCST] AS Expr11<br />
<br />
FROM...<br />
My question is how do use a field to store calculations which i can reference later in the select clause. I keep getting a Invalid name 'Expr2' error
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
|
|
|
|
|
I think you need to enter the full calculation for your Expr11 field. I don't think you can refer to it by the alias.

Hi,
I'm using a OleDbDataReader to get values from a MS Access db.
I've noticed that if the db field is "null" I get an error, so I
put in: myReader.IsDBNull (see code below). Is there a better way to code this null value protection? (besides forcing no nulls in db)
- working with C#
while (myReader.Read())
{
if (myReader.IsDBNull(0) == false
cost = myReader.GetDecimal(0);
}
thanks,
Ron

what u used is the best method one more thing u can do ie cast the result to string now no error will come but its not correct. checking for null values and then assigning is the proper usage

Hi
We have a MySql database (A) on a Linux machine and a MS Access database (B) on a windows machine. One of the tables in each of these two databases must be synchronised constantly. In A new records are added but no other modifications to records are done. In B records can be added, modified or deleted. At the moment we are trying a C# application that constantly compares the two tables by loading them in a dataset and basically comparing them record by record. I do not think this is very accurate and efficient.
Does anybody have ideas for us? It will really be greatly appreciated.
