have you tried using CommandType.Text? Access only has queries, no stored procs (unless it is an Access Database App that ties in with SQL Server).

Yes. No difference. I don't know. perhaps Ado .Net does not support it Confused | :confused:

I'm still wondering what exactly others use in place of mdb files, when the customer can not afford SQL Server or even does not need that at all(Small databases that has not many users).

this can be done using two methods
1. outer join
2. not exists
you can choose one on these two.

Hi,

I am writing a program in VB.NET (VS2005 Pro) that essentially simulates an neurology experiment. This program's data shoould consiste of 8 independent tables, each having 13 columns and up to 100,000 rows in each table. To make it simpler, all data will be in string format.
Other requirments:
1. The tables needs to be sortable like a dictioanry where 1 column will act as a key.
2. The user needs to be able to see the data in a tabular format.
3. The data must be held on the user's local machine, not a server and not remotley.
4. Needs to easily be readable by Excel, doesn't matter how. It can convert to an XML file and then somehow be automatically converted to xls.

I am thinking of using a databse becasue I would like to eventually create a login screen to link previous experiment values to a user, but that is not essential. I used dynamic multi-dimensiaonal arrays but find it difficult to work with, and extremley difficult to sort.

I was looking at the idea of using an XML database which will probbaly solve any issues of excel compatability as well as provide support for displaying the information on a website sometime in the future. I can't figure out how this all works.

Can anyone recommend a way to display a large amounts of generated data on a local computer, and almo make it save-able. I also like Oracle's 10g Express thing, but don't know if it would work for my specific problem becasue the cusotmer support people at Oracle don't speak English very well.

Thank You,

I think performance wise a database would be alot faster. You can sort by column in multiple ways as well as only pull the data you want by using queries. Even if speed isn't a factor, I think you'll find working with databases easier.

How would it work with ym clients, do they need to install a database software? I want something that is embedded into my aplication that won't require the user to do anything more than install the application.

Hi ,

As you all know, in sql server, the program must be connected to a server to work properly(execute db, etc.). How can I make my pc work like a server, then connect to it in sql server 2005.

thanks !

I don't understand the question. Do you mean how do you make you computer a SQL Server? Simple. Install SQL Server.

The problem is, I write my computer name at the start of the sql server manager studio(to the server name) but doesn't connect, it tries and then it throws an error message.

the message is ;
An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.(provider: Named Pipes Provider,error:40-Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server,Error :53)

what must I do ?

You need to go into the configuration manager and tweak the settings to allow remote connections.

CRecordset for multi-table recordsets

paulosuckow8-Jun-07 8:28

I need help with accessing a table in a mutlitable recordset. I have :

3 tables as follows

CString COrderSet::GetDefaultSQL()
{
return _T("[tbladdress],[tblcontact],[tbltest]");
}
and I am trying to add new record to each table individually.

My "m_pSet" that is a joint recordset of these three. How can I get a handle or pointer to each table.

When I do : m_pSet->AddNew() I get a "recordset read-only" error msg. which make sense because it doesn't know where to add a new record. (note that m_pSet is a joint set.)

Please help.

Typically your databases on Express are set to the Simple recovery model. This keeps only the transaction logs required to roll back active transactions. It rapidly overwrites the log records once the corresponding transaction is committed.

In contrast databases on the true server editions of SQL Server default to the Full recovery model, which logs everything that's done and keeps log records until the log is backed up, in order that recovery can occur to the point of failure if the data files are lost (and you restore a full backup). If you're not backing up the transaction log through a SQL Server-aware product, they simply keep growing. This may well take longer to scan on opening a database.

Also, SQL Server Express Edition only actually opens databases and performing the roll forward of logged committed operations and rollback of logged uncommitted operations when that database is accessed (this is the 'auto close' option). The full editions of SQL Server open and recover all database at service startup.

The time to perform recovery is also affected by the disk subsystem you're running the process on - it will be directly proportional to the read speed of the disks. If you're running on RAID 5, check that you haven't got a failed disk - your read speed will have gone through the floor. You will also get a complete failure if another drive fails.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Why this is faster?

Here are the 2 queries I tested for speed.

<br />
select replace(convert(nvarchar(10),getdate(),108),':','') <br />
from tblName

<br />
select replace(convert(nvarchar(10),getdate(),108),':','')*1<br />
from tblName

The former took 6 seconds and the latter took only 4 seconds.
The table tblName has around 5 lakhs of rows.
