User type a date in the textbox (format "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" for example 28/02/2006)
I want the update command to update the date in the 1st record.
str="update test set dt='" & txtDt.text & "'" & "where id=1"
I don't know how to format that date in text box while updating. Because the user enter date in "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" format. Please give me the code for implement this kind of update.
Now the record should look like as below
id dt
-- ---
1 2006-02-28 00:00:00.000
Thanks

First, why are you having the user type all that junk in when you're only using the date?
Next, don't use string concatentation to build SQL queries. You open yourself up to SQL Injection attacks and it just makes your job that much harder when you're trying to debug problems.
Use SqlParameters to do this. It'll format the date for you if you parse the textbox string into a DateTime object first.

I found the following code solved my problem.
<br />
Dim format As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB", True)<br />
Dim dt As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(myDate.Text, format)<br />
dim str as String= "update myTable set dt='" & dt & "'" where id=1<br />
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(str, con)<br />
con.Open()<br />
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()<br />
con.Close()<br />
This code will update the date in format "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss tt"

Yeah, it does.
But what if I typed this into your textbox:
01/01/1999' DROP TABLE test --
What do you think would happen?

See one more problem. The datagrid is displaying all the records in page load. After the search command it is loading that search result. But the problem is when i clik the next page it will display all the records. cause i use that query in the pageindexchanged event. can you guide me to solve this problem?
Thanks

Don't be so sure. You're right, this time. This little attack works much better when you concatenate the WHERE of an SQL statement:
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE field = '" & text & "'"
This will generate an SQL statement that looks like this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE field = '01/01/1999' DROP TABLE table --
Which WILL NOT generate an error. I guarantaa you'll start scratching your head wondering where your table went.
As for paging, you can find a bunch of articles on it by looking through these[^].

this will not happen because i'll convert the textbox value to datetime format and using the try catch method. So it will display error message. I checked..
Thanks

You're not getting it...
Well, you're putting the conversion in NOW. You're previous posts just used the value entered in a TextBox. The "conversion" saves you in this particular case. But try converting a username or password into something else to "verify" it's not SQL "unfriendly".
You just DO NOT concatenate strings together to build SQL statements in real-world code. You have to do so much more to validate that the entered data can do no harm, it's silly. Even after it's been "verified", you still must treat any user input as hostile to your database and write your code accordingly.
Write write your SQL code so the database (without any external help at all) can practically run itself just using stored procedures, views, and triggers. Then you wrap your C# code around that.
If you attempt to get junk like this into a retail product, you'll lose your job immediately.

Thanks for your advise.
Can i use sqlcommand parameters to avoid these kind of attacks? I'm not very advanced in either mssql or asp.net
If possible please send me some sample files that meet the retail product...
Thanks again.

What is "IT"? An image is just a bunch of data that, when looked at in raw form is a string of junk characters. So what you're seeing is normal, depending on what you're looking at this "junk" with.

I have written a program that access an sql server 2000 database installed on a windows 2003 server machine. Sql server is setup with integrated security and i don't want to change this. if i install my app in a computer that is a member of the domain and logins windows with the credentials of a windows server user account works good. Is there anyway from a computer that is on the same network that logins using a local windows account and does not have access to network resources access sql server? the result i want to have is :asking username and password for a windows 2003 server user account within my app and authenticate the user against windows server when the user wants to access the db.
Thanks in advance

If I recall correctly, you can do the same as you do with Windows file sharing: create an account with the same username and password on the server as on the client computer. Integrated Security will fall back on NTLM authentication which should succeed if the passwords match.
This is very hard to maintain, of course.
When adding the account (or group) to SQL Server, to authorize the account to connect, use the server machine name where you would use the domain.

Hi,
I have a table consisting of the following columns of relevance:
Day - Integer ranging from 1-9
Demand_Qty - Double value specifying the demand for that particular day.
Demand_Filled - Doulbe value specifying how much of the item was recieved that day.
What I need to find out is how many days it takes before each demand is filled. For example:
Day Demand_Qty Demand_Filled Days_to_Fill
1 10 0 2
2 10 0 2
3 20 10 1
4 5 30 1
5 10 10 -1
The first 3 columns are provided and the Days_to_Fill column is what I need to calculate. A -1 in the Days_To_Fill means the demand was never met. As you can see, the Demand for Day 1 is 10, which is not filled until Day 3. If further clarification is needed, pls inquire.
I'm not sure exactly where to begin so any tips/ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated. One thing that I believe could get me closer to a solution would be acquiring a cumalative sum of Demand_Qty and Demand_Filled for each day, but I don't know how to do this in SQL... anyone know how? What I mean is a sum that would look like this based on the above sample:
Day SumDemand SumFilled
1 10 0
2 20 0
3 40 10
4 45 40
5 55 50
Thank you for any help in advance, hoping I can get a solution figured out soon for my Project Manager.

Hi all,
Im new to this area of code project,
Just woundering if its possible to have a if statement in the select clause of a sql query in sql server.
I need to convert the ms access version sql:
<br />
Select IIf([OD_STOCK_CODE] Like "**BUPN**",([OD_UNITCST]*0.7)*[OD_QTYORD],0) AS BOXDisc<br />
to an equivilent ms sql syntax
Any ideas
thanks in advance
|
|

Hi there. Take a look at the CASE statement in Sql Server. You probably want something like this:
Select Case When [OD_STOCK_CODE] Like '%BUPN%' Then ([OD_UNITCST] * 0.7) * OD_QTYORD
Else 0
End as BOXDisc
|
|
|
|
|
Use the CASE statement:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN OD_STOCK_CODE LIKE '%BUPN%' THEN (([OD_UNITCST]*0.7)*[OD_QTYORD])
ELSE 0
END AS BOXDisc
FROM
WhateverTable
As a side note, you can use as many WHENs as you need for your logic.

the connection is DAO, OS is winxp, I want to disable SSPI. do you know how it is possible?
|

DAO?!?! It's been obsolete for quite some time now. It was shipped with Office 2000 and Office XP, but there will no longer be any development or support on the technology. It was also optimized for use with Access databases. Why on earth would you be using it to get to an SQL Server?
You can't turn it off for every application. SSPI is specified on a connection basis inside the application in the connection string used to connection to the database.

I'm wondering what the best way to implement plug-in reports is. If I use Crystal, which I haven't for over a year, I have the benefit of built-in selection parameters, so I could possibly get away with just 'dropping' the report files into a store, and having my code pull the full report name from the file somehow. The report itself will then handle the selection parameters.
If I do a custom solution, I could follow a plug-in assembly architecture, where each report is packaged as its own class library, with a custom selection screen1 and output grid.

hi everybody,

i've already added a column for every table (timestamp type).
how i can modify the Update command to use it?
(im using C# 2005)
Thank you in advance

During your SELECT statement you can get the timestamp and keep it for updating purpose later.
I usually save the timestamp as long variable.
On your update statement, pass the timestamp as a parameter along with the rest that you need to make sure you update the correct version of the data, e.g.
UPDATE customer<br />
SET [name] = @newname<br />
WHERE [id] = @id<br />
AND [rowversion] = @timestamp <-- timestamp value

Dear all,
I have the following case:
In a SQL db, each time a row is changed in a specific table ( say OriginalTable ) i need to insert a row for each changed column in a specific table say ( HistoryTable ) by the following values:
1- The OriginalTable Column name ( i.e. the column that its value is changed )
2- The Old value ( existing before the update process )
3- The New value ( existing after the update process )
I dont know if this can be done using SQL or programmatically from the code.
Plz, if anyone know the solution of that problem using any SQL or Code reply me as soon as possible. ( Note : my application is an ASP.Net project)
thank u all

You can use an SQL TRIGGER to create these records automatically whenever a modification is performed. (see CREATE TRIGGER in the SQL documentation).
Also, you can use the COLUMNS_UPDATED() function to determine which columns have been changed (in order to produce the text for the column name).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex
