I realise that processes can be run concurrently using multi-core processors but wasn't sure about threads.
Anyway, thanks for correcting my mistake 
|

Processors don't execute processes, they execute threads. A process is an operating system concept, not a processor concept. A process is just an organized collection of threads.

Ah I see, thanks again

You're not getting it. The SQL Server is a better place to do this. You won't be wasting a ton of time transferring that much data TWICE acrossed the network to the PC doing the processing, plus, multi-threading will only buy you a performance benefit if the PC has multiple processors, or multiple cores. You can't start, say, 10 threads on a single core machine and expect it to go 10 times faster. It doesn't work that way. Starting more threads to process data than there are cores in the machine is a complete waste of time. In a single core machine, the processor can only execute one thread at a time, pausing all other threads until it can get around to each of them.

220 MILLION or 22 BILLION?
Thats a lot of email addresses. Sort of like a list a spammer would have.
Either way, its going to take a LONG time to process that lot.

Hello everyone,
I have a datagridview and want to insert each row of this into a database(db1) table(sheet1). Both the datagridview and sheet1 has 7 fields. I used the following code but I just wonder what I should fill into the values for insert into statement, provided that except for field1 all of the data is in text format. Field1 is in number format:
Dim dgr1 As DataGridViewRow
For Each dgr1 In Me.DataGridView1.Rows
Dim con As OleDbConnection = New _ OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=|DataDirectory|\db1.mdb")
con.Open()
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, _ Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) values()", con)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()
Next
Thanks in advance.

If the fields in your database are all TEXT, CHAR, VARCHAR, OR NVARCHAR (i.e. strings) then you can feed pretty much whatever you want into those fields. The fields will accept text and numerical values. Only your first field will require a numerical value. The only thing you need to check is the maximum length of each field against the possible maximum length of each value that you might feed to it.

many thanks for the suggestions.
Can you please give me an example code to fill into value?
|
|
|

Well the question is what kind of inserting you want to do.
Simply put you could do something like this:
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) values(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)", con)
or
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) values(1," & SomeVariable & "," & SomeOtherVariable & "," & YetAnotherVariable & ",5,6,7)", con)
or
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) SELECT field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6, field7 FROM AnotherTable WHERE some condition is true ", con)

Since I am looping through each row of a datagridview, I would like to insert each row of the datagridview. What should I do in this case?
Many Thanks
|

Use the second option from my previous answer, and set the value of each variable to the value you get from each field in each row in the datagridview
Something like:
Variable1 = row.Item("Field1")
Variable2 = row.Item("Field2")
etc.

I tried:
"INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) Values(" & dgr1.Cells(0) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(1) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(2) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(3) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(4) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(5) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(6) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(7) & " )"
but it says syntax error

|

Something like that, yes.
Also adapt your code like this, so you will know if something goes wrong:
Try
'Your code here
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
and remember to check the length of the content of each cell against the maximum length of each field.

When I did like this:
Try
Dim dgr1 As DataGridViewRow
For Each dgr1 In Me.DataGridView1.Rows
Dim con As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=|DataDirectory|\db1.mdb")
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) Values(" & dgr1.Cells(0) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(1) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(2) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(3) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(4) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(5) & ", " & dgr1.Cells(6) & ")", con)
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
It said:
Error 1 Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell'.
I don't know what values I should enter. This must be a simple stuff but I am just struck.
|
|
|
|

Yep, that's why the best first step in learning this stuff is the Try Catch statement.
okay, so don't panic, this problem is something that you are going to bump into a lot when coding, and the solution is very simple:
for example dgr1.Cells(0) is in fact the cell as an object, not the cell's content. So all you need to do is get to the object's (your datagridview cell) content.
try dgr1.Cells(0).Value, and see what it says next.

Thank you very very much. Following code works:
Try
Dim dgr1 As DataGridViewRow
For Each dgr1 In Me.DataGridView1.Rows
Dim con As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=|DataDirectory|\db1.mdb")
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) Values('" & dgr1.Cells(0).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(1).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(2).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(3).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(4).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(5).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(6).Value & "')", con)
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
But I just wonder why I am getting one extra blank row in my database table.
|
|
|
|

That is because the datagridview offers an empty line at the bottom for the user to enter new rows.
You can prevent this row from being entered into your database by checking if all cells are empty or not.
So instead of putting dgr1.Cells(0).Value directly into the insert statement, you could do something like this:
If Not dgr1.Cells(0).Value & dgr1.Cells(1).Value & dgr1.Cells(2).Value & etc. = "" Then
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Sheet1(Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7) Values('" & dgr1.Cells(0).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(1).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(2).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(3).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(4).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(5).Value & "', '" & dgr1.Cells(6).Value & "')", con)
End If

But I am getting two blank rows. One is the obvious one but I am getting one another row on the top of the default blank row.
|
|
|
|
|
got it got it!
Thank you so much.
I am all done! 
|
|
|
|
|
You can also test if the row is the empty one at the bottom by using:
If Not dgr1.IsNewRow Then
' insert
End If
|
|
|
|
|
Your's is actually the better alternative for this case (I hadn't even thought of that one).
The only advantage to the method I suggested is that if the user deletes the contents of all the cells of a row, but does not delete the row itself, the row will also not be inserted.

How to copy some files from one folder to other with multithreading in VB.NET?

You are very stupid, aren't you ?
You asked three times in the C# forum, did you want C# or VB code ? Why do you even want to do this ?
