Neither have I.
If I remember I will check my SQL 6.5 reference to see what I was using with that (since I have been using SQL Server longer than a decade.)
* UPDATE * Yep 6.5 had them so I haven't had any trouble using them for 15 years.

As others have implied you need to change your strategy. Personally I would leave the serial number method exactly as it is but would not have it as the primary key. A primary key should hold no intelligence in it's data, so create another field (based on IDENTITY or GUID spit)) and use the serial no as a piece of clients code.

First of all, separate the serial number and the primary key. If you use a Guid as the key, you can "calculate" it (Guid.NewGuid()) already on the client. In case of an autoincrement value, you can query it from the database with a SELECT @@ID.
Your serial number column should still have a unique index.
When you insert your data, omit the serial number first.
You can take two different approaches here:
(1) Create a trigger. In the trigger function, calculate your serial number. Take care that two calculations may happen at the same time in different threads. The trigger function then updates your data. Retrieve the inserted serial number with a select query.
(2) Calculate the serial number on the client. Do an update query. When the update fails due to a duplicate value, calculate again with adjusted parameters, and try again, till the update does not fail. Here, I'd use a transaction, and commit when the update was succesful. Looks bad, but with a low chance of duplicates, it will not cause bad performance.

Hi,
I am getting a different error:
1045 - Access denied for user "root@192.168.1.9" using password: YES
I am sure about the password because I am able to login to it on the server itself which has the IP 192.168.1.1 but I am unable to login from my PC which has the IP 192.168.1.9
Kindly help..

You need to allow access to the server from all locations. It looks like you have set access to the server from localhost only.

You need to add additional access rights by executing the following command in Mysql console line:
GRANT ALL on <dbname>.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.%'
This will allow all computers in the 192.168.1.x subnet to login to your MySQL server.

|
|
|
|
can I replace the
<dbname> with EVERYTHING so full access will be granted to all databases for everyone in that IP range?
|
|
|
|
|
Sure just replace it with a '*' and you will grant access to all the schema's in the database.
|
|
|
|

I did but still getting the same when using Navicat as well Visual Studio? How can I troubleshoot?
Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.1.9' (using password: YES)

any idea what can I do to fix this?
FYI: MySQL is running on debian..

Is this a VPS or dedicated server, if so have you verified that MySQL is even listening to external IP addresses. Most hosting providers will limit access to MySQL from outside the server itself.
If you have a VPS or dedicated server look in the '/etc/mysql/my.cnf'
And make sure the rule below is not applied or change it to your network IP address for that server.
bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Does anyone know the best way to join fields from several tables onto a single SSRS report for SSRS 2005 and SSRS 2008? 
|
|
|
|
|
Just guessing as it has been a while sine I did any SSRS, either concatenate the fields in the cell definition if you are in a matrix or create an expression and use that for the textbox content.
There is also the option of creating a formula and using that but I can remember the entry point for the code editor.
[edit]
Reread you question - several tables. I always use a stored proc and return 1 table as a result set

Will this work if you need to join several tables from different databases which would mean different data sources?
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible especially if the DBs are on the same server, if they are not then the hassle of linked servers is irritating. Investigate doing the join in code in the report. You can throw the values into variables an manipulte the vars.

Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to connect to one database on mysql.
I don't get the same error when connecting to other databases on the same reason.
could you please help..
|

MySQL times out the connection if it is not used for a long time. The best thing to do is to make the connection only when you want to do the query, and then close it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
