Whehe I had to read it twice, but strCompare doesn't compare the things but the strings that we use to denote those things.
..and no, I did intend to say what you are saying, not what I said. Thanks for making me say what I meant to say

That would be a list with the differences between TSQL and PL/SQL, not between the differences of SQL Server and Oracle.
The list of features of both products (and both SQL-dialects) is freely available. Start with making a list, then you'd be checking it twice..
If you're looking for a place to start, this[^] one might be as good as any starting point.

I have a textbox that has its text databound. As soon as I put it into a ToolStripDropDown via the ToolStripControlHost it becomes disconnected from the database. Does anyone know a way to preserve or reinstate the binding?
I have already tried this but nothing happens:
TextBox1.DataBindings.Clear()
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", DBBindingSource, "Description")

Could you please give me few tips to upgrade my database..

Depending on your installation, you might have an upsize-wizard [^]in Access that can move everything to SQL Server. It should do the trick within a matter of minutes.

Hi
I have an interesting problem. I have written an SP to return some stats. When I run this through SQL Management studio - the result returns in 2 seconds or less. Now when I call this through asp.net - it takes anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes+ (asp.net times out). I have tested this on my machine, and one of our offline production web servers. Now, when I attach the debugger to my asp.net code, where it makes the call, results are just as quick as when i run it through the management studio.
Yesterday I thought I was onto something - the user I was connecting with, was being used by multiple sites and applications. I created a new user and tried using this. Now asp.net was returning the records as quickly as expected. However, this morning the performance has gone back to what it was, and it takes ages to run.
I have connected to SQL management studio using the user credentials that the asp.net site is using (SQL connection string). When I run this, results return in 2 seconds. I also looked at the activity monitor - when I run this through management studio, CPU time shows as around 1000. When I run it through asp.net - this rises to between 100 000 and 400 000 in the CPU time.
I am not using cursors, this is just a select, and usually returns 10 - 50 records at most. The query does access multiple databases, some of which are on a linked server.
Thanks,
Wayde

I have written some triggers that fire when data is updated/inserted/deleted. These triggers write entries to the Audit tables.
I want to include the username of the person who made the change. I started by using SUSER_SNAME which works great on the surface.
The trouble is that our system is n tier. There is a business logic server that does all of the access to the database. users access the system via a client app which communicates with the BLL server which writes to the database. Users never communicate with the database directly. This means that the audit logs all have "serveruser" in them, which is the user the server runs under.
Is there any way I can get the audit logs to reflect the user that told the server to make the change, rather than the user that the server is running under.
We don't use stored procedures (we are using a combination of the entity framework and parametrized queries) so we can't just pass the user name to them and let them do it.
(Perhaps is there something to do with impersonation that would do this? I don't want to grant access to the database to any normal users though.)
(I'm using SQL server 2000 and .net 3.5)
Any ideas?
[Edit: I have a solution.
Include a LastModifiedBy field on the table. This value is then set by the server to match the user that made the call to the server. This field is then accessible from the trigger so can be set into the audit table.
What do people think of that solution? Does it sound sensible? Are there any pitfalls of this I should be aware of?]

The only effective way I've ever been able to do this is to pass the identity down through the tiers.

Thanks for replying so quickly Pete.

Yeah, we do currently do that. We have a session object that contains a bunch of user related stuff for each call to the server, and that is passed down through each tier (it's used to validate that the user has permission to do what they are requesting, and to filter returned results to only stuff that the user is allowed to see), but how do I get the the SQL server triggers to use that user name. We don't use stored procs so I can't just pass the user name into the stored proc.

I am working on a database project using oracle 10g database and asp.net. On the page, i have configured crystalreportviewer,crystalreportsource and a SQLDataSource for crystalreportsource. While configuring SQLDatasource it is asking me the input paramter but i do'nt know how can i pass sys_refcursor parameter from design/configuring time. Here is my code of stored procedure:
create or replace procedure get_emp(emn in integer,rc out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open rc for select * from emp where empno=emn;
end;
/
This is working fine in SQLPlus as :
VARIABLE cv REFCURSOR
EXEC GET_EMP(7788,:CV);
print cv;
and it is working fine. I am not able to pass the "CV" from code/design time.
Please guide and help me.
Thanks and Regards

I have created a table with "bytea" datatype column. (I have not used oid datatype intentionally as its a pointer) I am using Windows XP machine. How can I store an image here?
Like in MySQL, actual image can be stored in a table with BLOB or Medium BLOB datatype.

Hi I Have Some Oracle question
1. How to activate Oracle Server and How to Close ?
2. How to connect to database ?
thank's

You asked this a couple of days ago and didn't get any answers - probably because your questions don't make any sense.
1. What do you mean by 'activating' and 'closing' Oracle Server?
2. Connect from what? A program, or a utility such as sqlplus?

I come from the SQL server world, and I know that I can open the SQL server
(the play icon near the clock)
how can i do it in Oracle ?
|

That sounds like the SQL Server Service Manager. I believe all it does is allow you to start/stop SQL Server related services. The method to do the same in Oracle may depend on the version and edition that you have installed. What are they?
I'm not in front of a computer with Oracle installed right now, and I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it in Oracle, but I think I used to do it by opening the services mmc plug-in and manually starting the Oracle processes I wanted running (Oracle itself, the listener, etc.). Also, see this page - http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10163_01/admin.htm[^]

what is mean by transaction in database? is "select" command is also included in transaction?
|
|
|
|
|
check this out ...
[^]
Yes, you could make a select statement part of a transaction. There are implications as to whether or not you would want to do such a thing because there may be negative implications depending on how your isolation level is set. Google "isolation level" for more detail.
In MS-SQL, you typically explicitly define a transaction something like this:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
<some sql="" etc="">
COMMIT
(or ROLLBACK)
|
|
|
|
|
if select command is use as single
like
select * from employee
then it 'll also included in transaction's defination ? how can i roll back this command?
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an example:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
select * from employee
ROLLBACK
This is syntactilly correct, but logically not very valid. A SELECT statement does not change the database, therefore a commit or rollback really does nothing except end the transaction. The above example should really should never be used, by starting a transaction you could be creating unnecessary locks to be granted.
Transactions are typically used to guarantee that ALL updates are made or NO updates are made.
For example: (syntax is not 100% accurate, but you should get the idea)
BEGIN TRANSACTION
try
UPDATE table1 set newbalance = newbalance - 100 where ID=ABC
INSERT into audittable values (NOW(),'ABC','WITHDRAWL')
COMMIT
catch ex
ROLLBACK
end try
This example shows that 2 tables are being updated and if they are successful, the transaction is committed, if there is an error then a rollback is performed.

Hi dear,
This is my first post and want help from some one.
My question is below:
I have five tables with fields named below:
- purchase (*purchase_id, purchase_date, company_id)
- purchase-detail (purchase_id, qty, product_id, unit_id)
- sale (*sale_id, sale_date)
- sale-detail (sale_id, qty, company_id, product_id, unit_id))
Note - * represents primary key
(company_id, product_id, unit_id) makes one item.
I am creating a crystal report using vb.net 2008 and I have to create specific Item detail, in which date it is sold out , in which date it is purchased.
I have created crystal report 4 columns below in which data will be placed
Date(sale/purchase) | Purchase Quantity | Sale Quantity | Rem. Quantity
23/03/09 | 300 | | 300
24/03/09 | | 100 | 200
25/03/09 | 100 | 200 | 100
The above format will be used with different possibilities like above.
I have different and same dates in sale and purchase tables with different quantities for same date .
Please help me to solve this question . I am unable to create the queries.
Many thanks in Advance

Hi,
I've used an SqlDataReader to retrieve some rows from my database. I can then iterate through the results calling its Read() method but how can I determine the number of rows without having to call the Read() method?
Thanks

Do a SELECT COUNT(*) that you read before entering the loop, or use a DataSet (with DataAdapter.Fill).

Thanks for your reply
I'm a bit of a SQL noob so I'll have to look into using a DataSet but doing a SELECT COUNT will be effectively calling the same query twice (apart from actually returning the columns). Won't that be a great deal of overhead?
I just thought the SQLDataReader must know how many rows were returned when it's created from calling the SQLCommand's ExecuteReader() method. Is that the case?
