Yep.
I replied to the wrong thread. My previous comment should have been applied to the original author, "logicon".
Sorry Luc.

Hi David,
You are correct, I should use datareader.
The requirement is to provide a tool which brings rows in Excel from SQL Server so that end user can play with it using pivot and other excel stuff. What I initially planned was to write Excel Add-in. Unfortunately due to version issue (I had Excel 2007 and end user is having Excel 2010) I decided to write Windows Form Application which will have a DataGridView and "Export To Excel" button.
Internally, SqlDataAdapter 's Fill is used here in my current code.
I will try the DataReader and share the result with all you
Thanks Everyone.

Use a DataReader to write a CSV file -- the user can then open the CSV in Excel. Slick as snot.

|
|
|
|
Use SQL server to output the resultset to a CSV file on a shared folder - slicker than snot!

You need to change your requirements.
And what is the growth rate of this table? What happens when it is 10 times bigger than it is now?

I have a xml file on which i have to operate.
I am using following approach
Declare @c_cmd VARCHAR(255),@C_940IN_FILE varchar(100),@C_940IN_DIR varchar(100)<br />
<br />
Set @C_940IN_FILE ='S_outbound.xml'<br />
Set @C_940IN_DIR ='\\xceed\tech\'<br />
<br />
CREATE TABLE #TEMP_940 <br />
( <br />
ROWDATA varchar(8000) Null <br />
) <br />
<br />
SELECT @c_cmd='BULK INSERT #TEMP_940 FROM '+'''' + @C_940IN_DIR + '\' + @C_940IN_FILE + '''' <br />
+ ' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ''><'')' <br />
PRINT @c_cmd <br />
EXEC(@c_cmd) <br />
----------------------- <br />
select * from #TEMP_940 <br />
<br />
Drop Table #TEMP_940
.
.
It gives me temp table with all nodes, like
<Case_Dimension><br />
<br />
<unit_of_measure>PK</unit_of_measure><br />
<br />
<quantity>6</quantity><br />
<br />
<unit_length/><br />
<br />
<unit_width/><br />
<br />
<unit_height/><br />
<br />
<dimension_measure>CM</dimension_measure><br />
<br />
</Case_Dimension>
Now i have to use a cursor for getting all the values of corresponding fields.
Is there any better way?
By which i get table which will create a temp table like, without using cursor
<br />
unit_of_measure quantity ... .... .... so on<br />
--------------- --------<br />
______PK_______ ___6____ ... ... ....<br />
regards

Hi
I have read the question a couple of times, but I'm still having trouble understanding your query. So, let's verify what we got;
Hum Dum wrote: I have a xml file on which i have to operate.
That's a physical file, located on the harddisk? I mean, it's not stored inside an SQL Server table or anything like that?
Hum Dum wrote: Now i have to use a cursor for getting all the values of corresponding fields.
To make sure I understood that correctly; you're first reading the columns from that file, and you'd be fetching it's values with a cursor?
Is it a requirement to use Sql to import the data, or would it be allowed to use C# or VB.NET? How will the import-process be started, does it get run by the server automatically, or does the user init the import?
Hum Dum wrote: Is there any better way?
There might be, depending on your requirements and restrictions. If you're allowed to program a solution, I'd rather suggest the XmlDocument[^]-class.
If it has to be done from Sql, I'd suggest converting the file from XML to (several?) CSV-files. Then again, if it's Sql Server, then you might even get away with creating a linked server to your file and SELECT INTO the destination table.

SELECT @c_cmd='BULK INSERT #TEMP_940 FROM '+'''' + @C_940IN_DIR + '\' + @C_940IN_FILE + ''''
+ ' WITH (KEEPIDENTITY, FIELDTERMINATOR = ''><'', ROWTERMINATOR= ''<Product_Information>'')'
the above command will import xml data in to temp table #Temp_940 (see my original post).
I just need to execute this command and i have the data of XML.
Now i have to operate on this data row by row and insert it into another table. for that i have to use cursor.

I know and used it also. when i suggest to use C# my PM says "NO". 
"You must use SQL server."
So, its not my choice

I presume you select statement will not do the job for you
Insert Tablename (columnames....)
select columnnames...
from #Temp_940

SQL Server 2005. But those features(which you have mentioned above) not exists in Express edition so you need buy SQL server 2005 enterprise edition. For more info click here[^]

Hi,
In my server the MySQL database is not started. Because, the database was corrupted since the table size is large. So i resolved this issue and started the MySQL server by extending the innodb table space.
The below line is i added in my.cnf
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:100M:autoextend:max:500M;ibdata2:100M:autoextend
The MySQL is started and database and tables are there. The problem is when i select any table data, i got the error as "incorrect information in file frm".
How can we fix this issue?. Any idea pls.
Regards,

Hi Luc pattyn,
Thanks for your reply. Instead of restoring database Is there any other way by changing configuration in "my.cnf" file?.
Thanks,

You could try this:
select * from Table
where (xfield like '[,/%:]%' OR xfield like '_[,/%:]%' OR xfield like '__[,/%:]%')
|
|
|
|
|
How about
where instr(substr(xfield,1,3),'(') > 0
or instr(substr(xfield,1,3),')') > 0
or instr(substr(xfield,1,3),'/') > 0
or instr(substr(xfield,1,3),'%') > 0
or instr(substr(xfield,1,3),':') > 0
Can't remember if the % or : character need to be escaped.

There is probably a really easy answer to this series of questions but I'm sort of a newbie in designing a database.
I know what a relational database is. I'm just not that familiar with designing one. My problem: Let's say I want to design a GUI interface for a kiosk for a library or bookstore. There could be several implementations and it could even be thought of as HTML links but the GUI looks nicer. The reason for this comparison is because I want the categories and sub categories to be dynamic, based on information stored in tables and obtained through queries.
I was thinking that I could have a table of main categories called "cats", and a table of sub categories called "sub cats", and of course a table for all of the books with a sub-category field. If a GUI is used, a blob for the image that represents the category or sub category can be assigned a field in the tables.
If I query the cats table and display all of the menu selections for the main categories and then when a main menu selection is made, say for "biographies", I can query for the second level menu items by looking for records in the "sub cat" table with a "Parent" field of "Biographies" which I imagine this could be only two records like "Biographies" and "Auto Biographies" and then drill down to the books table with a query to either of those two sub categories if a menu selection is made.
The problem I have understanding is a many-to-one relationship and how to implement it. I've discussed the first and 2nd level menus but if there is a third level menu and a book, item, or even a fourth level menu, can belong to more than one sub category, basically a sub cat or item with more than one parent, what do I do? Does this require multiple blank fields in one of the sub cat or book tables? Or, should this be implemented through using a primary key that encompasses many fields, or, even possibly should I have a field that declares what level menu the sub cat belongs in?

Put all categories in the same table and let the subcategories reference their parent categories like this:
CREATE TABLE Categories (
id NUMBER(8,0) NOT NULL,
parentid NUMBER(8,0) NULL,
name VARCHAR2(36) NOT NULL,
more stuff..
)
/
ALTER TABLE Categories ADD CONSTRAINT Categories_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
/
ALTER TABLE Categories ADD CONSTRAINT Categories_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (parentid) REFERENCES Categories (id)
Then select the top categories with: select id,name from categories where parentid is null
And a subcategory with: select id,name from categories where parentid = <ID>
The self referencing foreign key blocks accidental deletion of a category that has subcategories

Yes, exactly. 
|
|
|
|

Wow, I'm impressed. I had no idea it could be accomplished in so few of steps. Of course, I'm still trying to decode some of the "ADD CONSTRAINT" and REFERENCES language but I get the basic gist of what you're saying. I also had no idea that you could do the self referencing and thought, at minimum, it would require two tables. Very cool.
Thanks so much !!
