Try using something like:
select count(*) from MyTable
if (count = 0) then
do insert
else
fail
|
|
|
|
|
Why would you need a table with just 1 row?
|
|
|
|
|
Try an INSTEAD OF TRIGGER
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the Primary Key can only contain 1 value using a check constraint:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[MyTable] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [CK_OneRow] CHECK (([Id]=(1)))

That is a very cool way to solve a very strange request. I'll give it a 5.

Super solution but can't be replicated in other databases like oracle.
Identity is a near equivalent to rowid concept in Oracle but its a dynamic value i.e not a sequence generator . Hence may be Only possible in sql server.

If you change the start value of the identity seed (I'm pretty sure this can be done) and truncate the table the hard coded 1 would fail  mind you it is a silly request in the first place and I suspect the OP does not even know what you are talking about.

It may not be as useless as it first appears. I have used this method to hold global variables that are used by more than one application.
|
|
|
|
|
It'd be easier to create a view and be done with it;
CREATE VIEW GlobalSettingsTable AS
SELECT 1 AS ColumnName,
2 AS Nanana,
'C:\Program Files'
|

Yes - if your values are constants.
|
|
|
|
|
No, also for dynamic values; you can put sub-selects in there, or even calls to managed code 
|
|
|
|
|
Don't get me wrong, I did not consider it useless (even in this idiotic context) just being a pedantic bastard.

Is ADO installed? The 32 or the 64-bit version?

No, it ain't. In fact, I'm gonna ignore the rest of the thread.

Hi,
Not sure it is the right forum...
I'm using VisualStudio 2010 and trying to use schema compare tool to deploy changes from my db project to my database (SQL server 2008).
when trying to deploy the changes I made in my db project I get anexception with the following message:
"Cannot create index. Object 'v_TQ_IFCR_DATA_COVERAGE' was created with the following SET options off: 'ANSI_NULLS, QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'."
If I will go the the index properties,I see that AnsiNulls
and QuatedIdentifiers are set to project default.
When changing those settings to ON I manage to deploy all updates without any exception.
How can I change project default settings?
I have more then 200 different objects(tables,stored procedures,functions,indexes etc.) and I don't want to change the settings of each object.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Eli

problem solved.
In my schema compare the options if "Ignore AnsiNulls" and
"Ignore QuatedIdentifiers" where checked,so updated AnsiNulls and QuatedIdentifiers settings was not marked as needs to be updated during the schema compare.
Also,I've set AnsiNulls and QuatedIdentifiers default settings
to true in database.sqlsettings file.

What error? The same error? Or another?
Are you on a 64-bit machine?
|
|
|
|
|
yes i get the same error .
yes my machine is 64 bit
|
|

The JET-provider needs to be 64-bit too. Try downloading[^] the newer version.

Dear seniors,
How I can use case statement in where clause…..
Below query raised syntax error.
@MyeffectiveDate
Select * from Mytable where ((EffectiveDate <= @ MyeffectiveDate AND
CASE WHEN BillingTerminationDate = NULL THEN
(terminationDate is null or BillingTerminationDate > =@ MyeffectiveDate)
ELSE BillingTerminationDate > =@ MyeffectiveDate)
OR IsAdjustment=1)
WHAT EXACLY I WANT
If(BillingTerminationDate is null) then where clause should used ” (terminationDate is null or BillingTerminationDate > =@ MyeffectiveDate)” statement.
Other wise used
BillingTerminationDate > =@ MyeffectiveDate statement.
Waiting for your need full reply.
Thanks in advance.

You can't use = to compare something to NULL; use Is Null instead.
digvijay dobhal wrote: If BillingTerminationDate is null then ... BillingTerminationDate >= @MyeffectiveDate
If BillingTerminationDate is NULL, then it's not going to be greater than, less than, or equal to anything else.
digvijay dobhal wrote: AND
CASE WHEN BillingTerminationDate = NULL THEN
(terminationDate is null or BillingTerminationDate >= @MyeffectiveDate)
ELSE BillingTerminationDate >= @MyeffectiveDate)
You're missing an END on your CASE block. You also can't use a CASE block like this.
What you want is probably something like this:
WHERE
(
(
EffectiveDate <= @MyeffectiveDate
And
(
(BillingTerminationDate Is Null And TerminationDate Is Null)
Or
BillingTerminationDate >= @MyeffectiveDate
)
)
Or
IsAdjustment = 1
)

Thanks Richard Deeming.
I try above query bur not succeed.
Finally I do increase number of query lines and doing below…..
select * from Mytable where ((EffectiveDate <= @MyeffectiveDate and BillingTerminationDate is not null
and (BillingTerminationDate > =@MyeffectiveDate)) OR IsAdjustment=1)
select * from Mytable where ((EffectiveDate <= @MyeffectiveDate and BillingTerminationDate is null
and (TerminationDate > =@MyeffectiveDate)) OR IsAdjustment=1) Right now its working as my expactation. But having doubt that after reviewing, may or may not it will give me pain.
