hi iam trying to use the SQL STATMENT LIMIT in Microsoft SQL
however it keeps saying error
is there another syntex that serve the same purpose?
and also is the LIMIT Syntex works only in mysql?

There is not LIMIT on MS_SQL
this is a MySql syntax code
and this means you can fetch rows between two range of results .
You can do this with TOP and ROW_NUMBER() keywords
for more information search for this keywords on MSDN

If the data is in numeric format, first convert it to string like:
CONVERT(varchar(50), YourColumn)
After that you can use SUBSTRING function along with DISTINCT on the string:
SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTRING( CONVERT(varchar(50), YourColumn), 1, 1)
FROM TableName
WHERE CONVERT(varchar(50), YourColumn) LIKE '[78]%'
Edited: Added the WHERE clause if needed. Also note that this could be more efficient with an inline view, depending on the table structures and indices.

How can I use MSDataGrid in a WTL/ATL project
without using MFC ?
Is there an example in VC++6.0 ?
Thanks,
Manos.

Why did you decide to post this question on 5 articles and a forum named General Database?
Since your question is C++ related, I'd suggest you post the question only on C++ forum. I believe you would get much better answers from there. Posting the same question several times across the site is considered rude.

I know the following statement is incorrect. I had something going wrong in one set of insert statements and it was inserting the entry I wanted it to insert and then inserting a second entry for the next record that contained no data. Now I need to correct both tables, but the only way to know what to correct in the IncomingRecords table is from data in the Completed table. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE IncomingRecords
SET Complete = NULL
WHERE (RecordID = (SELECT IncomingRecords.RecordID FROM Completed INNER JOIN
IncomingRecords ON CompletedCRD.RecordID = IncomingRecords.RecordID
WHERE (Completed.A_firm_name = N'') AND (Completed.A_broker_found = N'broker_fround') AND (IncomingRecords.Complete = N'Complete'))
|

With a quick look the only problem I see is that your select most likely returns several RecordID's so you mest use IN instead of equal. Like:
...
WHERE (RecordID <code>IN </code>(SELECT IncomingRecords.RecordID ...
Also you seem to miss one closing parenthesis in the end.
Was this the problem you were haviong?

I am attempting to install "SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services".
I downloaded this file "SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe" and consistently get an error in the "System Support Rules" window that indicates that the Windows PowerShell Failed.
It doesn't say how it failed or why it failed - it just failed.
How do I get past this problem?
Thank you

You must install PowerShell first. This is described in the download page:

didn't you read my post? i asked of databases tutorials not sql, although it doesn't matters if they are also teaching what are databases besides sql

Instead of complaining about the sources I gave, why on earth didn't you just do a google search. It really isn't that hard unless nobody has taken the trouble to teach you how to "Google" 
To save you the trouble of finding somebody to teach you how to Google, just click this link and Google will return a list of web sites for you to investigate. "Database Tutorials"[^]
Relational Database Theory was listed on the second reference I gave. Perhaps it is you who should learn to read

Hi everybody.
I'm more of a c# kinda guy so not all that well up with the hard core sql stuff.
The problem I have is I have recently uninstalled all instances of SQL Server off my machine. Then I installed SQL Server 2005, and found that my web applications which relied on SQL express stopped working 
So I went to microsoft, and downloaded Express 2005 which did not do the trick. (it tells me it cant start up a user instance)
Anyhoo, this upset me somewhat, and as much as I play about with permissions and settings for express I just can't get it working. So, I think it would be better to ship all my .MDF files into real sql server which would be better anyway, but I cant find how to do this...
Please can somebody help???? Is it actually possible???
Thanks in advance. (sorry about the rambling story...)

Hi,

Have you had a look ath this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684(SQL.90).aspx[^]. If I remember correctly, user instanes aren't allowed by default, so you may need to use sp_configure to change the setting.

That's possible. Basically SQL Server Standard and Express Editions have the same codebase. Express has just some limitations.
I'm just wondering why you use user instances. User instance is run in the users account who makes the connection. You could also use normal instance and have the database running all the time and your web application could connect to that. It could make things simpler (administration, backups etc)
