LOL! This one takes the cake! Do the math! Do you realize the number of versions you would be compiling? By that time I hope the product is obsolete.

Uhm, .... let's see.
Five times five, that's twenty five. Five times twenty five, well that's just five times five again which is a five and a carry of two. Then you have five times two which is ten, but you have to add the carry of two which is twelve, so that's one hundred and twenty five. Oh man this is starting to get serious. How big is this number going to get. Five times one hundred and twenty five is five times five again that's twenty five which is really just a five with a carry of two. Then there's that five times two again which is ten and the carry of two which is twelve, but that's just a two and a carry of one and finally there's five times one which is five but you have to add that carry of one again to make it a six. There you have it, six hundred and twenty five versions. 
You're well on your way.

I understand Math for some people is very difficult. If you started at 1.1, using a Depth of 3 and started incrementing by 1 it would look like... 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3... So 625 versions is right on according to your math. Sorry but using a depth of 5 would be quite a bit higher than 625. You are correct though I have gotten what I expected out of this forum... smart a$$ comments and nothing really substantive.

Glad to have helped you out, then. When you have an actual question that you need assistance with, I'll be glad to continue that help.

Try rereading your original post. Do you see anything substantive there? Do you see a question?
It's time for a new signature.

you're making things hard on yourself. Five simply is 10 in base 5. So the fourth power of that is 10000. That's all. No carries involved.
However, it is not the available number of versions, as the early versions would have fewer digits; so the better approximation would be 11110 in base 5. Note that I left out one, as I assume the very first version will have one digit, not zero digits. Unless you forget about version numbers until you actually need them.
It is too bad we never got an actual question about this very interesting subject...

You're right. I leave the numbering to my version control provider. Though I understand that someone has to write and maintain the code that implements some numbering scheme.
The OP used the word 'depth' and you are inferring that as 'base 5'. And that may well be the intended assumption, but obviously along with a clear and concise question, there was much more lacking from the post. My use of simple arithmetic was a poor attempt to sarcasticly point that out to him.

1) first of all i want to save a TreeView in database
i designed a table with three fields (ID , NodeName,UpareNodeID)
and create a relation ship with ID and UpareNodeID is it correct?
i want to know if there is a better solution to save and retrieve this kind of collection
2) the second problem : how can i make a relationship from a field to another in the same table in ms access 2007 ?
thanks!

All the fields in each row in your table, are automatically related to each other, by being in the same row. You can not and do not need to create any relationship.
If you want to relate values from one row to those in another row, you will have to create two tables, and create a relationship between those.
So for example something like:
Table 1: Nodes (ID, NodeName) Where ID is unique
Tabl e2: UpareNodes (ID, NodeName, Parent_ID)
Relation: Nodes.ID = UpareNodes.Parent_ID
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Hi,
I'm trying to store RTF data inside of Transact-SQL and have used a data type of TEXT, however when retrieving the data from the database all I am receiving is the actual text, all of the RTF markup is gone and I am just receiving plain text.
My question is what should I be using for a data type, since TEXT is not working the way I thought it would.
Thank you,
Glenn

TEXT will do; it can also hold text with markup, like RTF and HTML.
What property are you writing to the field? Make sure that you're saving the Rtf[^] property to the database, and not the Text[^]. The first will contain all text, with the Rtf-markup. The second property, "richTextBox1.Text", only contains plaintext.

Hi Eddy,
I have been trying to locate how this is attached. I am using a "Data Source" and the control is bound to the data source. I have been scouring the code trying to see something like rtftextbox.text or rtftextbox.rtf, but I'm not locating it.
This control was placed on the form by dragging the RTF control from the data source and dropping it onto the form. I usually code the SQL stuff by hand but thought the automated tool was cool.
Thank you,
Glenn

That's probably in InitializeComponent(), binding the property.

It can save a lot of boring typing-work, but you'll get surprises like these in return

I have this line of code in the InitializeComponent() for the binding. I could not find a definition for the word "Text", but I think what you are hinting at is I should try changing this to Rtf?
this.commentsRichTextBox.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.reunionBindingSource, "Comments", true));
Thank you,
Glenn

That should work, but keep in mind that it's a generated file; I don't know whether the designer will pick up the changes correctly.

Just to be picky, if your using SQL 2005 or later i would use VARCHAR(MAX)
As TEXT has been decpreciated and should be removed in the next version of SQL

Thank you for the information. I am currently using SQL Sever 2008 R2, so I'll change it.

hi iam using sql server 2000
i have a table with fields
itemkey nvarchar(50)
amount money
i want the querry when user enters any number like 1000 or 750
i want to display what are the itemkey and the amount equals to exactly
1000
can you give example which helps me
|

I hope that I misunderstood your question or that you have simply never written sql before:
SELECT itemkey, amount
FROM a_table_with_fields
WHERE amount = 1000
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Your question is not exactly clear.
However, from what I think it means, what you need is one of the most basic of SQL statements SELECT ......WHERE ......
See here[^] for syntax etc.

hi , i want the querry for a given parameter how much items amount equals to given parameter

In that case the answer given by Johan should do that.

The number of matching items can be obtained using the COUNT function:
SELECT count(*) FROM a_table_with_fields WHERE amount = 1000
