Hi..
I have a table which includes 2 datetime fields. One is Start_DTM, the other is Finish_DTM. It's for employee hours. My typical day would be
Start_DTM Finish_DTM
(date)09.00 (date)13.00
(date)13.00 (date)14.00
(date)14.00 (date)17.00
So, you see it records *everything* including breaks. If I do a SELECT query
where start_DTM or Finish_DTM = (date) then I get the above info.
Of course things get complicated.
Lets say I work a night shift.... like
Start_DTM Finish_DTM
(date)20.00 (date)23.00
(date)23.00 (date+1)01.00
(date+1)01.00 (date+1)04.00
(date+1)04.30 (date+1)05.00
Now... as far as my boss is concerned, I worked from 9pm til 4am on (date).
(Disregard the 4.30 to 5am as it didn't follow on from 4 am)
So when I look for work done on (date) I should also bring back anything
recorded into the next day under certain conditions:
Where there is a record which *starts* on (date) and *finishes* on (date+1),
I have to retrieve that record (the straddle record). Then, I look to see if any other records have a Start_DTM which is identical to the Finish_DTM of
the straddle record. If I do, I take that record's Finish_DTM and try to
find a record which has a Start_DTM identical to that record's Finish_DTM.
Once the continuation stops, the query stops. Hence, I disregard the record
that has Start_DTM (date+1)04.30 because it is later than any previous Finish_DTM that can link it back to (date).
Still with me? congrats!
So.. I am aware of various conditional T-SQL (IF...ELSE, WHILE etc) but
these seem to base their conditions on single items (like an average < 15).
I would like to write a stored procedure to get this data. At the moment, all
I can think of is to set up a temporary table (SQL Server 2000) and add
records to it as I see fit (or add 3 days data and remove as see fit).
I am not aware of how temporary tables affect performance. My goal is
to have a DataAdapter which runs the stored procedure to fill a dataset,
which I will ultimately bind to a WinForms control....
What are my chances? Any tips greatly appreciated!!!
Cheers
John

Does anyone know where I can find a technical specification for dBASE IV? I looked on www.inprise.com but could not find one. I need to write a program which parses/writes/creates dBASE IV tables (.dbf).
Thanks,

I used the CodeBase engine for that (don't know a link). On the plus side, it links staticly into your app, it is small, and it is fast. On the down side, the API is unfriendly, but a nice class wrapper solved that problem.

I have an ASP.NET application accessing a SQL Server database. Worked fine last night, this morning I am getting the following error continuously:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at MyService.DataService.AuthenticateUser(String DomainUsername) in \\Eoctstliciis01\CREQSERVICE\DataService.asmx.vb:line 169 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
I have checked my code over and over again and I am closing/disposing of all connections as soon as I’ve finished with them. I’m the only person accessing the application at the moment, but I keep getting this error. I’ve checked Process Info / Current Activity in SQL enterprise manager, and there are a normal number of connections open.
· How can I check or set the number of pooled connections I have available?
· Is there a way of increasing the pool size?
Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm currently in a state of panic! 
Thanks,
John.

Following up on this problem, I think there was an issue with the server I was running this on. I moved the code to my local IIS server and it works fine.
I discovered that PerfMon lets me view the number of connection pools being used. .NET CLR Data / SQLClient:Current # pooled connections.
However – I did some testing by leaving connections open on purpose, the app falls over when it reaches 100 (as expected), but the pooled connection counter never seems to reset back to zero, even when I stop/start IIS. This may be related to the following:
BUG: SqlClient Performance Counters Do Not Reset
ID: Q314429
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314429
I found this on a google search, but the KB Article no longer exists – So I don't know if Q314429 is still an issue
Is there a more reliable way to monitor the number of pooled connections?
Thanks,
John.

Hi,
I 'm Using ADOX from VC(I suppose ADO VB is same that ADO
VC) to create tables in Access 2000 and Access 97,
containing
several columns/fields with
the (Yes/No) or(datatime) data type. The format property
of these fields is blank and needs to be
set to (yes/no) or (format date).
I need to make this change by using code and not manually,
unfortunatly I can't see
any way of accessing the Format property of the field.
Is there somebody who know how can I chande Format
Property From ADO?
Or is there some SQL Statement that can do it? I.e.
Something like that:
"ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN DataTimeField DataTime
(here my format string)" --> ("Medium Date") or ("Long
Data")
or
"ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN YesOrNo YESNO(here my
format string)" --> ("Yes/No") or ("True/False")
Regards:
KalliMan.

I am a student considering purchasing Visual Studio.net 2003. However my main form of database connectivity is an ODBC connection to a mySql server. I know that the next version supports ODBC out of the box rather than having to download the ODBC.net driver from Microsoft. Here is my question? Does anyone know if in the new version Microsoft has updated the wizards for Database conectivity to use ODBC commands as well as the standard Microsoft Sql Server SQL commands? Somebody please help.

I have a master detail form that has a text box for the search criteria for the master record when a button is pressed the textbox.text is used as a parameter to the sqldataadapter to populate the text box controls. The detail is also filled using the textbox.text as a parameter to its sqlDataadapter.
I am having to do a lot of maniputlation with the dataset and check that I have not yet bound the textboxs for the master list.
What is the best way to implement a search then edit master detail form.

This is probably a query that comes often... sorry if it is so...
Does anybody have any experience of using mySQL? Does it work? Is it reliable? Is there a proper ODBC or ADO encapsulation? Does it compare in terms of performance to SQL server? Any experience with multithreading and Visual C++ 6.0?
I do not actually need a monster of a database (something like a couple of hundreds of megabytes probably). The writing would be intensive, the reading much less.
Any caveat welcome... well any feedback would!
Thanks in advance!

I downloaded it to use with ADO and VC++. I found it sucked. I couldn't get it to work, or even figure out how to set it up. I was much happier to spend the money to use SQL Server or MS Access. Apparently, there is a reason MS dominates the market. Turns out free stuff is only free if your time is of no value. Just my limited experience with mySQL.

If you want something free, use MSDE, not MySQL.

MySQL is a perfectly viable database. Version 4 even has a mechanism to embed a server within your application. I would agree that using it isn't for the faint of heart, however, just because it doesn't have an Access/Sql Server-like interface doesn't make it suck. What sucks is when people give up and say it sucks without giving it a fair shake doing what it does best--storing data. Once you get past the setup, it is just as easy to use as the others. As far as speed goes, MySql can keep up with the best of them. In my opinion, the only shortfall with MySql is the lack of stored procedures and transactions (though I think transactions have been added in version 4). If you go to the mysql.com website, you'll find programming APIs for different languages including C++. It is called MySql++. I've used it before and it works great. You can get MySQL++ from here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-mysql++.html. Make sure you download the binary for VC++ 6.
Good luck.

Hi Matt,
I totally agree, MySQL is my fav DBMS and it only lacks Triggers and Stored Procedures. It's easy install (download and launch installer, then it runs as a NT service) and powerful.
However I wonder if you were able to handle a local database using MySQL++, local database : DB as a file (like MS Access .mdb files...).

As far as I know, there is only one way to do this--MySQL 4 supports embedding. You would have to embed the MySQL server in your app. It sounds like a pain to me, but I haven't looked at it except to know that it exists.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip ! So MSDE is a database engine that you can use in your desktop application ? Is it VC++ 6 compliant ? Where can I download it ? I can't find it on MSDN (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/development/2000/MSDE2000.asp).

There is a managed MySql data provider at Sourceforge.net. It probably performs better than using odbc. Check it out

I have this code which reads in a single record from my table..
Dim conSQL As New SqlConnection(strConn)
currentrow = Me.DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex
currentcol = Me.DataGrid1.Text
Me.DataGrid1.Select(currentrow)
'Define and get the Orders Master
Dim cmdSQL As New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderID ='" & (CType(DataGrid1(currentrow, 0), String)) & "'", conSQL)
Dim Rdr As SqlDataReader
conSQL.Open()
Rdr = cmdSQL.ExecuteReader()
Rdr.Read()
TextBox1.Text = (CType(DataGrid1(currentrow, 0), String))
ioOrderID.Text = (Rdr("OrderID")).ToString
ioCustomerID.Text = (Rdr("CustomerID")).ToString
conSQL.Close()
(more code and more output -- and a change of CustomerID takes place)....
I need to UPDATE that Customerid back to my Orders file now..
How do I do this...

Hey, need to know if there is a way to query MS Access, if any columns in a given table are Auto-Increment, maybe using the OleDb Schema or any way at all. My only idea was to check each column in the table if it had a data type of Int64, which is a long in Access, which is what Auto-Increment uses, but this is not a very resonable way to do so.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I write my ODBC-driver which should work in ms access. But... Here's the log of the driver with my comments:
access loads driver
SQLAllocEnv
SQLSetEnvAttr: Attr = 200 - access sets ODBC version 3
SQLAllocConnect
SQLGetInfo: InfoType = 77 - gets ODBC version, wich driver supports
SQLSetConnectOption
SQLGetConnectAttr: Attribute = 30002 - don't know what is it by now 
SQLSetConnectAttr: Attribute = 30002
SQLDriverConnect - connecting to the database server, all's ok
SQLGetFunctions: fFunction = 999
SQLGetInfo: InfoType = 23
SQLGetInfo: InfoType = 24
SQLGetInfo: InfoType = 9
SQLGetInfo: InfoType = 6 - access asks the name of driver dll and then refuses to work farther, error -7778 no special message  (
SQLDisconnect
SQLFreeConnect
SQLFreeEnv
May be someone knows what can it be or at least the way to understand what is the problem?

Hello,
Application
-----------
I've created a multi-tier application. Its architecture is:
On client machine --> the client application is an ActiveX EXE component (VBasic).
On server machine --> some COM+ server applications and a SQLServer database.
Use Case
--------
CLIENT1
--> asks SQLServer database for an object (= a row in objects table).
The state of this object is stored in a storage file.
--> if the object can be check out, it means nobody else have checked out the object,
the server will set the objects.checkedoutby = ClientID and will copy the stg file
in a shared folder on server machine.
CLIENT2
--> tries to check out the same object
--> the server must know (??? - MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THIS POINT) if the CLIENT1 application
is still running or a crash has occured and CLIENT1 was not able to check in the object.
Remarks
-------
1) CLIENT2 will receive a copy of the storage file if CLIENT1 is still running
2) CLIENT2 will have the possibility to restore the storage file from
an older version if a crash occured in the CLIENT1 application.
3) Many clients can log in using the same account (user name and password)
4) There can be more than one instances of the application on the same client machine
My solution
-----------
My solution is to create an instance of an "watchdog" ActiveX EXE on the client machine
when the client application is started. This "watchdog", from time to time (5 minutes by example),
will modify the value of a date field named NotificationDate in database.
When the client application shuts down, the "watchdog" will stop updating that field.
The stored procedure responsible for check out will use the value of NotificationDate field
to decide whether the CLIENT1 application that use this object is still running or a crash has occured.
Questions
---------
1) Is there a pattern for this problem?
2) What about my solution?
10x,
Ovidiu

I have used a different method successfull in the past.
The database table has the following columns tacked on the end:
LeaseUserId Varchar(10)
LeaseExpiryTime Datetime
Whenever a user wants to do an update, I set the LeaseExpiryTime to a time that is five minutes in the future. The update stored procedure is designed to raise an error if the LeaseUserId is not the current user, or if the LeaseExpiryTime has passed (cos the user doesn't "own" the lease any more). The client may explicitely extend the lease (if the user is taking a long time entering their information).
This mechanism is similar to the method that most server operating systems use to "lock" files.
Hope this is helpful.
Andy
