Yes, I would just do it a bit at a time. Since you are having problems with the views do the tables and data first. Once they are there it is easy enough just to go back and script the views and procedures.

eventually finshed it - 6 hours later - thank god the database wasn't any bigger.
I was the only developer (and the new boy) who really wanted to use VS.NET to see what was going on rather than keep switching between Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer and Visual Studio. So it was down to me to do the update.
I followed the steps in the KB article - but it never worked cleanly so....
steps to export + problems I found at each stage
i) tables + defaults + rules + datatypes
P1) When exporting tables any Foreign Keys that constrain on the same table (I hope you understand what I mean) failed - so I had to remove them for the export and then re-establish them after
ii) views
P2) Some of the views didn't work on the original database so I had to fix them first - I really hate some people.
P3) Some of the views failed due to the collation still being different and on the old collation. I had to walk though every table and change any collation to 'server default'. Eventually I got the last few views to go through.
iii) stored procedure + functions
iv) copied the diagrams over by messing with the dtproperties table

How?
This is my first real venture into SQL (other than SELECT * from XYZ) and I am having trouble with a stored procedure - all the data in looks okay but... it doesn't return the right answer. Is there a way to debug a SP so that when called I can see what is going on.

The method I use to debug a procedure is to put print statements throughout the procedure so you can see what the values you are getting really are. It's a clunky method but usually works well. Most procedures are not that complicated. You have to do this in Query Analyzer.
If you have specific statements you are having problems with paste them here.

thanks - that'll help debug the obvious
I was hoping I could wait until it was called and see what values were being passed in and the step through.
Could I use the profiler for this at all?

Profiler wouldn't really be much help for debugging. It is mainly good for finding performance bottlenecks & problems.
I have had good success on debugging in Query Analyzer using the method described above. You can run the procedure straight out of QA and put exit points at various points if necessary - using the RETURN statement. Once you get used to it you can debug relatively quickly.

Hello
I want to open a Excel-file in ADO.NET as a DataSet.
I downloaded the ODBC.NET. and made a DSN-file pointing to the excel-file.
Then I made a connection to the DSN-file in the Server-explorer.
So far so good.
But when I try to use the generated connectionString opening a OleDbConnection. I get the following error:
The .Net Data Ole DB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) does not support the MSDASQL Provider, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.
-----
My connectionString looks like this:
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Extended Properties="DBQ=G:\costumers\foretag.xls;DefaultDir=G:\costumers;Driver={Driver do Microsoft Excel(*.xls)};DriverId=790;FIL=excel 8.0;FILEDSN=G:\costumers\foretag.dsn;MaxBufferSize=2048;MaxScanRows=8;PageTimeout=5;ReadOnly=0;SafeTransactions=0;Threads=3;UID=admin;UserCommitSync=Yes;"
How do I do this?

The ODBC.NET installation includes a new namespace: Microsoft.Data.Odbc as opposed to System.Data.OleDb. You need to be opening an OdbcConnection instead of an OleDbConnection.
If you want to add this to your toolbox, right-click the Data toolbox, select "Customize Toolbox", go to the .NET Framework Components tab and check the boxes next to the Odbc... objects.

Any way to get the quantity of records on a SqlDataReader object ?
<br />
SqlDataReader reader = sqlcommand.ExecuteReader();<br />
String[,] array = new String[ qty_of_rows_in_Select_Statement ,4];
|
|
|
|
|
Not until you've gone through all the rows returned by the reader.
This is because you are working with data as it is coming from SQL server and it doesn't know how many results are returned until it has sent them all to you.

You can always execute a SELECT COUNT statement before the main statement, that will return the number of rows.
i.e. if your usual where clause is something like
SELECT * FROM OrderDetails WHERE CustomerID=59
You can get the number of rows by executing
SELECT COUNT(OrderID) FROM OrderDetails WHERE CustomerID=59
If you execute that using ExecuteScalar, you'll get the number of rows that will be returned by that query.
Incidentally, if there's a chance that this number could change in-between executing the two queries, or you just want to be extra careful, you'll want to execute both queries as part of the same transaction, ensuring that the number of records doesn't change as a result of someone else inserting/deleting records from the table.
Alternatively, you could consider taking the data to a DataSet first, since that's held in-memory you only execute the query once, and I'm pretty sure there must be a way to obtain the number of rows. This will have the usual advantages/disadvantages of using a DataSet as opposed to a DataReader.

Thanks, i solve the issue doing the following:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter myDA = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(sqlcommand);<br />
System.Data.DataSet myDS = new System.Data.DataSet();<br />
String[,] array = new String[myDA.Fill(myDS),4]<br />
reader = sqlcommand.ExecuteReader();
but, i think that "select count" is a better idea because doesn't create the adapter and dataset and consume less processor.

I am attempting to query every table in my database and put the results in a record set, format the results to a cell string in html and print it out. The problem is that it is displaying only the results from the first table it matches to. Am I mistaken in thinking that it combines all results into one RS? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to do? The premise is this: I have several user request forms that output to their respective tables in my SQL Sevrver 2k DB. All the forms have the columns listed in the SELECT stametment below. I want to query all these tables for anything matching STATUS='OPEN' and display the results in a user queue. I have eliminated the HTML from the user queue page just to show what function I am trying to accomplish. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! (I aplogize for the sloppyness of the CELLSTRING & "<>" has been replaced with "[]")

Dim objRS
Dim strSQL
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "sp_MSforeachtable 'select submitDate, requestorLastName, requestorFirstName, urlToForm, nof, status from ?'"
objRS.Open strSQL, MyConn
if objRS.eof then
response.redirect "noQueue.asp"
else
do until objRS.eof
cellString = "[tr style='padding: 3'][td][font face='Arial' size='2' color='#CCCCCC'][center]" & objRS["submitDate"] & "[/center][td][font face='Arial' size='2' color='#FFFFFF'][center]" & objRS("requestorFirstName") & " " & objRS("requestorLastName") & "[/center][td][font face='Arial' size='2' color='#FFFFFF'][center]" & "[a href='" & objRS("urlToForm") & "'][font color='#66CCFF']" & objRS("nof") & "[/a]" & "[/center][/td][td][font face='Arial' size='2' color='#FFFFFF'][center]" & objRS("status") & "[/tr]"
response.write(cellString)

The procedure probably does not return one recordset. Your other option is to create a SQL statement using UNION and put the select in for each table name.
|
|
|

|

As notadood mentioned, the storedproc is most probably not returning a single resultset, but rather a compound Recordset object.
Take a look at Recordset.NextRecordset it may be what you're looking for.

I'm trying to connect to an access database via a system DSN because that's the database connection method utilized by my web provider. However, when I use the data adapter's wizard to configure the object, I see no option to use a DSN as a datasource. I either have to specify a server name or in the case of my Access database, specify a file path.
Do I manually have to configure the dataadapter to use a dsn? How do I do that?
Thanx.

Hey, is there any way when you select a distinct field, to get the rest of the fields in the table? Something like this is what i'm "wanting it to do":
aka: SELECT * DISTINCT myfield FROM MyTable WHERE isFunky = True
so is there any work around? i mean anything that you can do in vb6/access 2000? I dont know much about sql, just the basics, so if i can do anything obvious let me know, cuz truth is i probably dont know how to do it or wouldnt think of it.

Ok, everyone always sees tutorials on how to use "SELECT DISTINCT field" and then they name their field on which they want each record to have a different value in that field. So when you use just that statement, all you get is:
CUSTOMER_NAME
-----------------
Jimmy
Steve
Guido
Barry
Cloud
Kefka
Jonny
-----------------
I'm wondering how i can setup my Sql statement so that i can get the rest of that information with it, in vb6/access 2000.
"SELECT * DISTINCT url FROM Emails WHERE checked = False ORDER BY foundwith"
Passing this into a data object doesnt work, i want to be able get this in a recordset:
CUSTOMER_NAME | ID | CHECKED | FOUNDWITH | URL
------------------------------------------------
Jimmy | 45 | False | 4 | "http://www.web.com"
Cloud | 46 | False | 1 | "http://www.howdy.com"
Kefka | 47 | False | 1 | "http://www.studmuffin.com"
------------------------------------------------
So as long as everyone has been "CHECKED" from that url, then i dont want to look at that "URL".
Hope that explains my problem. Read my example above, does that look like it should work to you? i get
RunTimeError 3075: Missing operator in query expression (* DISTINCT url)
any reason why? thanks in advance.

hi,
you could try the following
SELECT DISTINCT CUSTOMER_NAME ID CHECKED FOUNDWITH
FROM Emails WHERE checked = False ORDER BY foundwith
for all fields except url
or
SELECT DISTINCT URL
FROM Emails WHERE checked = False ORDER BY foundwith
for url field only
you are right about "Select * Distinct .." won't work

I vote for this answer. But i think you have to seperate field names with commas.
|
|
|
|
|
SELECT DISTINCT CustomerName, ID, Checked, FoundWith, URL
So you're saying that I will get every Record with a distinct URL with this statement? If so will the fact that it has checked(which may all be false at the beginning), or foundwith(which will more than likely have other urls to have the same FoundWith = # with them) so if i state all of those as having to be DISTINCT, does that mean it checks all before adding them? Because basically if there's a statement that says this:
SELECT DISTINCT URL, Checked FROM Emails WHERE Checked = False
Isnt that going to cause problems? because say they're all false, does that mean i'm to get only 1 urls back no matter what the difference in URLs?
And this statement,
DanielO wrote:

I'm just trying to get one url that isnt checked, that's all. The only reason why i'm doing that is so that I dont have to open up another recordset and look for all Customers from that URL, then see if they've been checked or not, and if they've all been checked, then goto the next url.
This is all really just fickle, I just wanted to know if there was a way to get all the fields from a Record, where i had a DISTINCT Field that had to be different, then if i have that first distinct record, i could see if it had been checked, and if not then move onto the next one. *shrug*
Thanks guys.
