How can I solve this "Procedure or function StoredProcedure1 has too many arguments specified. problem"? Please only experts. - Database Discussion Boards

I am working on a project to make an existing existing WINFORM application support both Oralce and SQL SERVER.Now it supports SQL server.SO i want the GURUS on codeproject to give me the best suggestions and approaches.We have converted all the existing tables and Stored Procedures into Oracle .The main issues we are having is with the Data types like Money,Date that are incompatible between SQL and Oracle .Since the application is already running in most of our Customer sites, we cannot make changes in UI or Business Logic.We have to handle them efeciently in DAL.Also it has to be compatible with both ORACLE and SQL server .

SO please share me your experiences and Ideas.If you need any furthur Information on specifics please let me know
Thanks in advance

I would suggest looking at the Microsoft Enterprise Library 3.1.

That works in a very generic way and alows you to define the connection in the config file. You can define multiple connections so one for Oracle and another to SQL then when you create a connection specify which one you want by name.

The API is centered around the System.Data objects and interfaces and all the hard work tweaking the calls to the database engine are handled for you behind the scenes. There are plenty of examples in the documentation and you should be up and running fairly quickly.

Hope this helps

Both the suggestions i have recieved were extremely helpful.The main issue i have been having is the product is already there and in many places of code it takes SQL specific datatypes from the UI which are then passed onto DAL and then stored into Database .We have used functions,views and SP a lot .We want to take the approcah that requires least disturbance on code in UI and Business logic layer.We want to handle it in DAL .Can you give me some instances of cases where SP , Data sets Functions are incompatible between SQL Server and Oracle ??

I know a few cases but i would like to know experts opinion oon that too.

THanks

I m new to VC++ , I have a vc++ mfc application which i want connect with MySQL database.. earlier it dont have any database connectivity. Can anybody guide step by step to connect it to databse. I have installed MySQL 5 on my system n also installed MySQL connector 5.1 .
In my application , added these two lines of code
#include "afxdb.h"

then in a function void OnClickOk()
{
CDatabase db;
int i;
db.OpenEx(_T("Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=kcc_trades; User=kats;Password=db_logon;Option=3;"));
i = db.IsOpen();

}

but it gives the errors
error C2065: 'CDatabase' : undeclared identifier
1>.\ChangeLimitsForm.cpp(574) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'db'
1>.\ChangeLimitsForm.cpp(574) : error C2065: 'db' : undeclared identifier
1>.\ChangeLimitsForm.cpp(576) : error C2228: left of '.OpenEx' must have class/struct/union
1> type is ''unknown-type''
1>.\ChangeLimitsForm.cpp(577) : error C2228: left of '.IsOpen' must have class/struct/union
1> type is ''unknown-type''

and if I put the cursor on CDatabse db; then it shows CDatabase as class and cursor on db shows CDatabase db means memeber ...... also db. shows me the list of available function from which I selected OpenEx....... i mean to say that it identifies CDatabase as class then why it is giving error....

Can anybody help me!!!!!!!!!!
Please I m struggling with these from the last one week.......
thanks

Hi there! I have an app and I have a local database within the app. After I finished building, I was testing the app at my local computer and it was working fine. After that I installed on a computer without any kind of sql server instance installed on it and it didn't run at all and was giving me error that the remote connections are not allowed. Is it possible the app not to run cause there is no instance of sql server or it's something else?? Thx ahead for your advices

You have to install the client side components of SQL on the client box, and enable one of the network transports on both the server and client boxes. Your connection string would then need to point to the server box. If you expected to use SQL as a LOCAL database server (same box, no network connection to a central server box running SQL) then you do need to install it on that box

Hi,

I have been trying to get rid of the following error message since last 4 days and there is no progress yet. Here is the error message, code and related table structure. Please help me to solve the problem. I use SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008 with Visual Studio 2008. The strored procedures are not functioning if they called from inside a web page Confused | :confused:

but when I use ADO.NET to initiate a stored procedure, it is running. I perfomed extensive search in google but I couldn't find an accurate solution to problem.

What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

The parameter name for the stored procedure is '@GetActivityName' te '@' is missing in the web page specification...

Thanks for responding. I tried it with @ sign but it didn't work out too. I think something is wrong with SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008 (may be related to a policy of something).

I am not an expert about SQL SERVER. If query is working fine but storedprocedures are not called, it means to me that the problem is related to SQL SERVER. I enabled CLR and it didn't work out too.

Since im not sure if im an expert or not, im not sure whether to answer. You may prefer to not limit yourself in future. you never know who might give you the right answer.

Just in case it helps, there appears to be nothing wrong with the extracts of code that you've posted. You certainly seem to have defined the SqlDataSource OK. Perhaps its something the control that is bound to this datasource is doing "under the hood" as it were. eg/ if you've bound to a DetailsView and you have a bunch of other fields bound to the datasource, it will try to turn them into parameters too.

I have added an column to an existing table via the SQL management studio 2008 and assigned an default value, and set the field to NOT NULL, but i keep getting an error saying that i need to drop and re-create the table. this is not posible for me. D'Oh! | :doh:

So i tried setting the new column to allow NULL, but still the management says that I need to drop and re-create the table. ???? D'Oh! | :doh:

When i do it by script like:

ALTER TABLE Suppliers
ADD Country varchar(3) Default('ENG') NOT NULL

it works fine... WTF | :WTF:

Does the SQL Management Studio 2008 have an bug here Confused | :confused:

With great code, comes great complexity, so keep it simple stupid... $Shucks | :-\$ $Shucks | :-\$

In Management studio, modify the table definition and then select from the menu Table Designer / Generate Change Script... This gives you details what Management Studio is trying to do and possibly why.

I tested the same modification and it just added the column by altering the table, as expected.

The column to be added cannot be NOT NULL if default is not present at the same time so make sure that you define both when designing the table in Management Studio.

The need to optimize rises from a bad design

Hmm, must be me then...
I have testet this on two different database on the same server, with the same result.
I should say that the server is running SQL 2005 and as the headline indicates im using SQL Manager 2008

I know that the column being added may not be NOT NULL if the default value is not present, so thats not an ussue here.

well i guess i must look further, for this one...

but thanks for the reply Mika

No problem...

I made a simple test with Management Studio 2008 against SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and still ok. Here's what was generated:

BEGIN TRANSACTION
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.Test ADD
	ToBeAdded nchar(10) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_Test_ToBeAdded DEFAULT N'Some kind of value...'
GO
COMMIT

However I do have SP 2 on SQL 2005. Perhaps that would be the problem?

I have just checked, the server is running SP 2 [Version: 9.00.3042.00] so thats not it, but it sure could have been... Wink | ;)

I dont understand your first reply on how to get the SQL Script of the DESIGN... how do you get that ???

With great code, comes great complexity, so keep it simple stupid... $Shucks | :-\$ $Shucks | :-\$

What I did in Management Studio was the following:
- selected the table from Object Explorer
- from Context menu for the selected table: "Design"
- added the necessary field and a default value for the field, but I didn't save
- then from the menu bar I selected "Table Designer" and then "Generate Change Script..."
- the code block in the previous post was copied from the dialog that opened

[Addition]
The build number for me is different: 9.00.3068.00 so I take it there are some differences in the engine.

Hope this helps,

Ahh ok im with you, i found it... But now you are going to laugh, when i select the "Generate Change Script" the absolute same error box pops up.

heres the full error code:

Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. 
You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.

Hmmm i found the reason.

please look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb895146.aspx[^]

I added the column and re-arange the colums before saying "Save". this is not allowed...

Mika thanks alot for taking the time to help me... Wink | ;)

Actually I cannot laugh because it would wake up the children... Smile | :)

But seriously, have a look at this Save (Not Permitted) Dialog Box[^]

Could the first bullet be the reason?

Also did you notice my modification about the build number in the previous post

The need to optimize rises from a bad design

hehe we found the same site... funny... thanks..

To work around this error do the following:

To change this option, on the Tools menu, click Options, expand Designers, and then click Table and Database Designers. 
Select or clear the Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created check box.

Hi, I have Picture object in .NET, I need to save it in Direct Text based query like,

"update table set picimage = " & ObjectName & " WHERE code = '111'"

What is the way.
