I'd write a little .NET exe that has all sql database updates within it. Have a field in a table that keeps track of the database version number. In your little DBUpdate.exe, first thing you do is check the version of their database (If the table or field you keep the version number in isn't there, then you know to start at the beginning...and create the table or field). Then, just run through the updates that are less than their database version number, and update their database version number as you go.

Are you wanting to do this in .NET code or in SQL.
In .NET you'll need to use the ParseExact method of the DateTime class[^]

If you use SqlCommand with parameters..This an solve alot of problems like formats and sql injection.

Assume that I have two tables in my database,one is Catgeory and the other is Item.These tables are related; Items can belong to categories. I want to have a business class for categories that represent a record in the category table. I also want this class to contain all information about items belonging to the category. My question is which class is suitable for storing the list for items information.(e.g. Collection,ArrayList,...).I fetch item records in my Data layer as a DataSet. Please show me how I can place data contained in DataSet to the class you think is suitable(e.g. Collection).I need to use this help me please
Hope you undrestand.

|
|
|
|
With .net 2.0 and generics..I would use List<Item>
In .net 1.1 I make a class that inherits CollectionBase as a specialized collection for Items.
Also I fill the collection using a datareader not a dataset..This should be faster.

Have you managed with this??
I also had a similar problem an no-one helped on any where so I tried fixing this myself, and it is working so far.
It's a very confusing subject, and you have to "study" to understand, I don't fully understand the concept, but what I am doing works so far.
I can send you screen shots of my code if you like.

Hey. I want to develop a little archive application (Windows Forms 2.0, and C#). I want to be able to install the application on one or more client machines, and have them access a database located on a server in a LAN.
I will be using either MS Access or SQL server 2005 Express Edition. My question is, where and how do I place the database so that it can be used by the clients? What is the smartest approach? Stored procedures? Web services?
I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this. I just need a few pointers to get started 
Maybe someone has some experience in writing client/server apps, and could tell me how they usually establish the connection between the client apps, and the database.
If, for example, I use MS Access, would I place the .MDB file in a shared folder on the server, and write the path in the connection string in the client app? Could I do this in any way with SQL server express?
What would be the "correct" way to go about this?
Thank you

I would say SQL Server 2005 on the LAN with Stored Procedures. If you want to ever access it outwith the LAN then Web Services would be a better bet (but the web services would still use stored procedures - one is not a replacement for the other)
mrgruby wrote: how they usually establish the connection between the client apps, and the database.
With an appropriate connection string (like any other way to connect to the database). I'm really not sure what you expected of this answer. Perhaps you need to rephrase your question.
mrgruby wrote: Could I do this in any way with SQL server express?
SQL Server 2005 is a proper database server product. It is not like Access. SQL Server is designed to be accessed by potentially thousands of processes, unlike Access. Therefore, there is no concept of putting SQL Server files in a shared folder as external applications cannot and do not need access to them. They access the SQL Server via various communication mechanisms and the SQL Server process will manage all requests made to ensure efficient access to the database(s)

When I look around, I find that there are alot of ways to accomplish the same thing. Some argue that one way is better than the other, and vise versa. But I feel that there must be a way that is appropriate and sufficient, without any fancy hacks 
All I need is to be able to access a data store, located on a server in a LAN, from any number of client machines. Just like I would access a database on a webserver from an asp.net app. I just don't know how to do it in a windows forms app, where the database is located on a LAN server. Maybe it's a simple answer, that makes me want to hide in shame. I just haven't been able to find it, and I have been looking around alot. Maybe my search criteria is bad, I don't know...
And don't worry, I'm not looking for a finished solution here, where is the fun in that? I just need to know a good way to establish a connection between a windows forms app and a database, in an environment such as the above mentioned.
No reason to walk down a dead end, if I can get the right directions from someone who's been there...

You just specify the name of the machine on the LAN. www.connectionstrings.com[^] may be of help for you.

Since connecting to the database is the responsiblity of ADO.NET (the part of the .NET Framework that deals with databases) it is the same in a windows application as for an ASP.NET application. Remeber the .NET Framework is divided neatly into areas that can be used on their own to build a whole application. Unfortunately many samples and wizard generated code likes to mash all the different components together so that it is difficult for a person new to .NET to see where one bit ends and another bit starts.

I assume that SPLIT() is a UDF?
What does that function look like?

Yes SPLIT is a User Defined Function
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String nvarchar(4000), @Delimiter char(1))
RETURNS @Results TABLE (Items nvarchar(4000))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @INDEX INT
DECLARE @SLICE nvarchar(4000)
-- HAVE TO SET TO 1 SO IT DOESNT EQUAL Z
-- ERO FIRST TIME IN LOOP
SELECT @INDEX = 1
-- following line added 10/06/04 as null
-- values cause issues
IF @String IS NULL RETURN
WHILE @INDEX !=0
BEGIN
-- GET THE INDEX OF THE FIRST OCCURENCE OF THE SPLIT CHARACTER
SELECT @INDEX = CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@STRING)
-- NOW PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT OF IT INTO THE SLICE VARIABLE
IF @INDEX !=0
SELECT @SLICE = LEFT(@STRING,@INDEX - 1)
ELSE
SELECT @SLICE = @STRING
-- PUT THE ITEM INTO THE RESULTS SET
INSERT INTO @Results(Items) VALUES(@SLICE)
-- CHOP THE ITEM REMOVED OFF THE MAIN STRING
SELECT @STRING = RIGHT(@STRING,LEN(@STRING) - @INDEX)
-- BREAK OUT IF WE ARE DONE
IF LEN(@STRING) = 0 BREAK

Your @ExcelDataInXml string is longer than 4000 characters, and your Split function only accepts 4000 characters.

Hi,
I have an ID field and it has been set to increment by 1 every time a record is added.
When I exported this table to another database server, it "lost" this identity. Now when I tried to select Modify from the menu, I keep on getting a SQL problem and then management studio closes. So my only other solution is to use a sql script to change this identity to IDENTITY (1, 1).
How do I do this??
The table name is Orders, and the ID field is OrderID_PK int, this is the primary key.
How do I keep the identity as it is when I import a table from one database to another??
I am using SQL Server 2005.
Regards,
ma se

When you import the table, try Copy object and data between SQL Server databases rather than just Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database.
Check this out too: DBCC CHECKIDENT (Transact-SQL) [^]

Hi,
Iam using PUSH model to create my crystal report document.
The stored procedure which iam using returns a refcursor.
The first 3 columns of the table(FirstName,MiddleName and LastName) are combined as returned as single column,similarly columns address1,address2,city,state and zipcode are returned as single column.
Here is the Code:
OracleConnection cnOracle=new OracleConnection(connectionString);
cnOracle.Open();
OracleCommand cmdRegistrant = new OracleCommand("Pkg_WRTS_Retrieve.prc_getregdata", cnOracle);
cmdRegistrant.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
try
{
OracleParameter paramFirstName=new OracleParameter("i_first_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtFirstname.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramFirstName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramFirstName.Value=txtFirstname.Text;
OracleParameter paramLastName=new OracleParameter("i_last_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtLastname.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramLastName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramLastName.Value=txtLastname.Text;
OracleParameter paramCountyName=new OracleParameter("i_county_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,20,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCounty.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCountyName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCountyName.Value=txtCounty.Text;
OracleParameter paramCityName=new OracleParameter("i_city",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCity.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCityName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCityName.Value=txtCity.Text;
OracleParameter paramCompany=new OracleParameter("i_compent_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,200,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCompany.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCompany.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCompany.Value=txtCompany.Text;
// create parameter object for the output
OracleParameter paramResultSet = new OracleParameter();
paramResultSet.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.RefCursor;
// this the output parameter which is returned from the stored procedure
paramResultSet.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
// add the parameter to the collection
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramFirstName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramLastName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCountyName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCityName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCompany);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramResultSet);
//Execute the CommandWrapper
OracleDataAdapter daUserDetails=new OracleDataAdapter(cmdRegistrant);
dataSet = new DataSet();
daUserDetails.Fill(dataSet,"WRTS_REGISTRANT");
RegReport = new RegistrantReportViewer();
RegReport.SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables[0]);
//RegReport.SetDataSource(dsReport);
RegistrantViewer.Visible=true;
RegistrantViewer.ReportSource = RegReport;
When i run the application the field's name and address are not displayed in the report,but all the other columns are displayed.
I think its because the datatabe has a combined value of 3 columns but im not able to display it in report properly.Similar for address column also.
Can anyone tell me how to map the datatable column to crystal report column so that the data will be displayed?????
Any reply will be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Ratish.
