will always prefer disconnected architecture means connect to db when their is needs to connect to db mostly in CRUD operations.

You could consider some sort of connection pooling strategy. Open-use-close is not very efficient when you are accessing the database very frequently. It is more efficient to pool and reuse open connections in this circumstance. One technique that connection pooling libraries use is to test the connection before returning it from the pool. Then if the connection is bad (e.g. timed out by the database) you can throw it away and open a new one. That way, if your application is making lots of database accesses you avoid the overhead of opening and closing connections all the time. When your application idles and does not access the database for a long time, the connection can be dropped and a new one will be opened, "invisibly" from the point of view of the code using the connection.
You don't say what language of framework your application uses, but there are connection pooling libraries available for .NET, Java, Python, Ruby and many others.

I'm using C++/MFC (stop laughing  ). The data base activity is an 'add-on' to a process control application. I'm thinking of moving the data base handling off into a separate thread of its own, so that it can do the open/CRUD/close without affecting the other stuff that's going on.

Instantiate the connection once, but open and close it only as needed.

Hello people!
I am not sure this is the right place for this question or not but i try my luck, sorry if it not. So, the problem, we are writing a VC++ program in which we have to make some BLOB updates. Now, this program is multi-threaded, there are 2 threads which perform DB queries (thorough Oracle XE client) sometimes simulteniously but they both use the same connection, one of these threads performs BLOB updates, the other one never works with BLOBs, it only calls a stored procedure which does some updates on a table (and yes, this table can be updated by both of these threads at the same time, but they never work on the same columns simulteniously). This seems to work well most of the time but (there's always a but, isn't there) time to time we get errors like "The update cannot be performed because the database has changed" or "ORA-22990: LOB locators cannot span transactions Error source: 'OraOLEDB'". Our guess is that the problem is that the same table/row is being updated by the 2 threads, but how to overcome this? The problem is that one of these threads, which doesn't do BLOB updates, has to do its work at specific times, so saying, "while a BLOB update is in progress, don't let anyone else touch the DB" is not a solution, since the BLOB update can take a lot of time and not allowing the other thread to perform its queries will lead to problems.
I have to admit that i am not the "DB guy", but i visit CodeProject frequently and since it has a great forum for DB-related stuff, i thought i ask, maybe it has a pretty obvious and simple solution we don't know about and if so i can then forward it to the DB guys and we can fix the problem.
So, anyone can share her/his wisdom and help? Thanks in advance for any answers.

and i use it like this
BULK INSERT dbo.TBL_CMPS FROM 'C:\\UNISA_IMPORT\\Final_Import\\Campuses.csv'
WITH (
FORMATFILE = 'C:\Format.DAT',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' );
and my Table Defination is like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TBL_CMPS](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[DESCR] [varchar](100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[ABREV] [varchar](100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF

I think if you change the column count after 9.0 to 3, it should work.

Try placing return(enter) after SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

yes. The First Part of my code is to code this file in that Directory,in debug mode, i can see that the file has been created there and it has proper permissions on it.

Just a thought,if you are creating the format file in code before calling your proc, are you sure your code has properly closed the file? While in debug can you stop just before running the proc and see if you can open the file with another program such as notepad? May be total rubbish, but its a thought

Yes the File is totally closed. I have thought of another way to do this. well not always a good idea. The Reason why i use a format File is that there is an Identity Field. Now what i did is that i drop the field and imported the data and recreated the Field and it looks OK.
Thanks

brother it is a forum I think u dont know the meaning of forum, here people help each other without Why? and without any thing. I'd solved my problem but I want some suggestions from others.
Now if u know any idea about that then reply otherwise keep quiet
thank you very much.

People here help those who help themselves. People here do not prefer spoon feeding in general. Try out something or search google. If you face any problems, then post the query.

Then I suggest you show your solution and ask if anyone sees ways to improve on it.
That way typically leads to a more interesting thread.

leave it dear,
now first time i'm irritating with this site, code project. Every time when i post a question i received a perfect solution or at least pleasant comments not like these stupid phrases. One want 3 hr to solve it and i'd given only 2 hr to solve it and make related crystal report with complete formatting.
now just stop posting replies on this question.
