well I'm sorry I didnt read ur complete code properly but I think u need to use ISNULL (If its SQL SERVER) to convert the nulls to zero or aply a check to see if the value is '' then change it to '0'

I use "INSERT INTO [Flash Turn Parameters] " +
"VALUES ('" + toolPosition1.ToS .....
to create a new record in a database table
and use cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); to execute the SQL from C# ADO
the 1st field is an auto increment IDENTITY field. How can I find out the value after the record has been created ?
Thanks

use a stored proc like this:
create proc Insert @value int
declare @id int
insert into [bad table name] values (@value)
set @id = scope_identity()
return @id
You could also make it an out parameter
create proc Insert @value int, @id int out
insert into [bad table name] values (@value)
set @id = scope_identity()

You need to write a stored procedure that performs the INSERT operation and then returns the latest IDENTITY value as an OUTPUT parameter. The latest IDENTITY value can be determined by using the SCOPE_IDENTITY[^] command.

Hello,
i have to develop an application to compare a dataset (with around 1000s of records)with a database table which has almost more than 4 million records.
and if the dataset has matches in the table i will mark them as processed. is there any way to achive this .
note: i already have tried comparing them with 2 loops iterating manually in each record...i want some other way

Assuming you are using SQL Server, a possible solution would be:
1. Serialize the contents of your dataset as XML and submit the data to your database using a stored procedure and the OPENXML command.
2. In your stored procedure, load the serialized data into a table variable whose structure matches the dataset. Add an extra bit field called Processed that can be used to mark matched records.
3. Run an UPDATE query on your table variable, joining it to your master database table. Set the value of your Processed field in the matching records to 1.
4. From your stored procedure, return all records in the table variable where Processed = 1.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I want to know what are the naming conventions for creating the above mentioned? I went through some of the adventure works tables and looking at the indexes they either start with IX or AK, for example:
IX_EmployeeDepartmentHistory_DepartmentID
Please advise.

Hi,
I have 3 tables, namely:
CategoryGroup
CategoriesInCategoryGroup
Categorty
CategoriesInCategoryGroup has only 2 fields, which I made the primary key each, namely CategoryGroupId and CategortyId, and they each reference the corresponding table. So basically they are foreign keys.
I have a question when creating an index in the CategoriesInCategoryGroup table. Do I create 1 index, or should I create a separate index for CategoryGroupId and CategortyId in the CategoriesInCategoryGroup table?
Please advise.
Brendan

Is always a good idea to create an index for each field (or group of fields) that forms a FK
Only in few cases you could not create such an index, i.e. when it is the first field in an already existing index or is equal to de PK.

Hi Brendan
I would expect CategoriesInCategoryGroup to have CategoryGroupId and CategortyId as a clustered primary key. You would then normally create a separate non-clustered index on the CategoryId column.
If you are not using SQL-Server then the second index should be combine CategortyId and CategoryGroupId.

Andy

OK, I realise this is generally a SQL server-oriented forum, but I'm a bit stumped so I'll post anyway.
I was debugging an Oracle package which does a massive number of updates (9,6000,000 approx.) and it hung. I tried to kill the process but that didn't work either, and I had to kill TOAD eventually. When I went back in, I found that Oracle had placed a lock on the package, so I can't compile, change, or even drop the object. Does anyone know where I need to go in Oracle to release this lock? I don't have a DBA on-site here, I'm pretty much on my own.

Hi,
if we are trying to add the several columns in select statement without using Aggregate functions and only one condition in group by.
how can we do that ??

I'm not sure I understand you. Can you throw some SQL my way...

You can't. Each column not specified in the GROUP BY clause must be part of an aggregate on the SELECT. If you think about what it is doing you will see why.

Hello,
I'm working on a project and its deadline is comming really close. I have a State and cities Table to store the names of the states and cities of the US. I've populated the State Table manually but the cities is like quite a hectic task. Is there some way that I can load the names of teh cities programaticaly (thru a file or something) in to the db
I'm using SQL 2005 and .NET 2.0
Any suggestions, guidlines are welcome
Thanks in advance
Rocky

When I needed to load a list of all the countries in the world I used an XMLDataSource and found an XML file with all the countries in it. I think I found the file at the US Census Bureau web site if I'm not mistaken.
I'm sure you could find an XML list with all the cities and then you could load it and save it to the db.
And how do you manage to submit a post on the 13th of December? Pretty crazy.

You use a primary key.
