You are most unlikey to get this unless someone has used a travel agent system as an example in a text book.

Have you considered designing your own database?

Hi All,

I need to do a select statement with will combine two fields into one before I do the Like statement.

i.e.

Table1.SuiteNumber
Table1.Address
Table1.Country

Combine these 3 fields into one field called FullAddress

Select suitenumber + " " + Address + " " + Country AS FullAddress From Table1

THEN select particular record in the FullAddress field

Select * from Table1 where FullAddress like %Owl street%

How can I combine this two select statement into one? Please advice. Thanks in a million.

Alternatively

SELECT * 
FROM (SELECT suitenumber + ' ' + Address + ' ' + Country AS FullAddress 
      FROM Table1) AS subquery
WHERE FullAddress LIKE '%Owl Street%'

That is an ASP.NET problem.

I don't know. What does your client want to happen in that situation?

Gotta love the people who 'need it urgently', but don't respond when you try to help.

It happens. I'm trying not to lose my cool with that sort of thing, so the odd vent on my blog helps. I'm actually trying to vent more frequently so it doesn't build up. Of course, that makes less fireworks for everyone else to see.

Is this a real world system ?

I can only assume that you've taken a job to write this system, the real question is, why are you asking us what your client wants, instead of asking your client ?

SQL 2000 8.00.2039

I am trying to write a backup from SQL (.bak), compress it then insert into a
database.

Can someone help me with the framework of this operation?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "framework" in the current context?

Sorry I should have been more specific.

I am trying to accomplish the aformentioned operation via T-SQL.

The only way I have seen is via C# or ASP.

What would the T-SQL look like to achieve the goal of compressing a .bak file then storing the file in the database?

Could I execute a backup, compress it, then drop in the db as a blob?

Hulicat

Yes. You could use BACKUP, xp_cmd (and call out to a zip application), but I'm not sure how to get it back in the database as I usually do that from within a C# application.

Hi All,

I am working on an application in which on every 100 miliseconds there is an insert statement executing. I am using MySQL server as database and ODBC connector. Can anyone please suggest me how should I change the application's architecture to do this in a better way. Currently on every insert I am creating an connection and command object to perform the INSERT operation.

Regards,
Amit

Colin Angus Mackay5-Sep-07 8:34

I'm going to assume that the application is written using a .NET language because you've not indicated otherwise. If this is incorrect please say.

Use SqlConnection, SqlCommand, etc. rather than the ODBC varients.

Yes, server part in which INSERT statement has to occur on every 100 millisecond is written in C# using VS 2005. Database MySQL 5.0.

These INSERT statements has to occur anyhow in silent mode (in background) while user can do other Add/Edit/Delete or Update related operations on Database. Actually these insert statements are executed for the data received by the server application on an interval of 100 to 500 millisecond.

Please suggest a better way to do this.

Sorry, I misread your original post, I though you said "SQL Server" not "MySQL".

You should use the appropriate .NET Data Providers for your database.

logicon wrote:

If you are writing a .NET application you have to define any user interface that may be updated as a result of any database interaction. It is all "silent mode" unless you write code to the contrary.

logicon wrote:

So, you have multiple threads interacting with the database. MySQL supports transactions now so that isn't a problem.

Don't use ODBC, use the appropriate .NET data provider for your database. Other than that, there isn't a better way.
