Re: Bulk insert - Fewer fields than in DB

I can't help with a bulk insert - however would doing an import via Enterprise Manager be an option?

I mention this because you can map fields through the import wizard and it should cover what you want to do.

Of course this is a once off option for ad-hoc jobs, but if doing a bulk insert is not absolutely necessary and this is an ad-hoc job I'd suggest looking at this option.

In Enterprise Manager it is under Tools/Data Transformation Services/Import Data...
You an also get to this via the SQL Server tab on your start menu under Import and Export Data

Hope this helps...

Hi,
I am using Sql server 2005 reporting services. I have created reports on server. I want to connect reportserver from client's PC and the Reports should come with Records as logged in User wise. This I want to place on different panes after calling them, as this happens with Google Analytics and msn sites. To place the records, I will use AJAX controls.
Can any one help me.
With Thanks

Your question, as it stands, is of too general a nature to be answered. Identify specific problems you require help with and post the questions in the relevent forums.

CreateQueryDef() pause needed

I appreciate the assistance that all of you have provided so far. However, I have encountered a slight glitch with the CreateQueryDef() method. The problem is that it seems to take a while for the QueryDef to be actually created and available for use in the following code.

After I create a QueryDef, I need to use it in the very next subroutine, a point in which it might not actually become available in MS Access. Is there a way to pause execution of the subroutine until the QueryDef is actually created and available for use?

I've not tried this...

Perhaps something like:

CreateQueryDef("mynewquery",...)

while( notexists( "mynewquery" ) )
   doevents
loop

qdf = QueryDefs("mynewquery")

Those are not the right names, but maybe the right idea.

Let us know if you get a solution. I may want to use it myself.

Here is what I did, and interestingly enough...it works.

I created code that essentially does nothing but execute a loop and pass a counter to a control. Then I added a control to the form, left it visible, but essentially hid it from the form by making the textbox's background color, border color, and fore color the exact same as the underlying form color. This provided something for the processor to do while the QueryDef was being created. I essentially needed to count to 10000.

Here is the code:

'Provides time to create QueryDef qryFinalResult
Dim intCount As Integer
intCount = 0
For intCount = 1 To 10000
    txtCounter.SetFocus
    txtCounter.Text = "Count: " & intCount & "."
    intCount = intCount + 1
Next

Does anybody have a more elegant way to do this? This code prevents that error message from coming up indicating that the QueryDef that I had just created does not exist. When I step through the code myself, the processor has enough time to create the QueryDef object, but when I run it as an application, it does not have time to create it in time to use it.

Hi,

I created a function to check if a table exists, as I need to check for this sort of thing frequently.

Here is the function code:

<code>
CREATE function dbo.DoesObjectExist(@Name varchar(200), @Type char(1))
returns varchar(7)

begin
declare @Result varchar(7)

if exists (select * from sysobjects
where name = @Name
and xtype = @Type)
	select @Result = 'present'
else	
	select @Result = ''

return @Result
end

This is how you check if the OffVansQtyOrdered table exists using this function:

<code>
if dbo.DoesObjectExist('OffVansQtyOrdered','u') = 'present'

I hope this is of help...

Hi,

The first example is what is called a "user defined function".
This is a means for SQL to process data based on parameters passed to the function and then return a value(or a table).
In this case the function takes an object and object type as input.
The object type, in the bottom piece of code, is "u" which means that the function only looks for tables.

The advantage of a function is that you can create this code once and reuse it many times by just calling it with dbo.DoesObjectExist('tablename','u').

In terms of creating a SQL table in C++ I'm sorry to say that I cannot help you with that yet as I am learning C# at the moment.
What I can recommend is google and searches with strings such as "create SQL table with C++" and "SQL create table".
As a tool google is invaluable and has proved to be just this in my work - as there is always going to be an example somewhere out there of what you are trying to do.

Good luck.

One of the fundamental principles of a relational database is that the physical order of rows and columns in the tuples (tables) is not important.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database[^]

If you need to extract data in a particular order, the data itself should provide the means of doing this. For instance, if you had an numeric EmployeeID field which was incremented every time a new employee joined the company then you could find the last value in your table by selecting the row of data with the highest EmployeeID value. You don't have any data items that you can use for this purpose in your table so you can't achieve this.
