You might also want to look into Levenshtein Distance.
Plus, unless you are using an inferior database system, use JOINs rather than subqueries and IN.
|
|

|

Oh that looks complicated. hmm, Good idea though.
|
|
|
|

I had to use Levenshtein a while back to match addresses from two systems. Some times there's no other way.
|
|
|
|
|
OK.
I'll learn from your experience.

There are specific rules associated with that such as removing all punctuation, using abbreviations for standard names, etc. You can probably google for that that.
However those are also intended to match with a credit card and the address. And not just the address. Without some other verification system I doubt just an address match is feasible.

I should of removed all the chars that are not A-Z a-z 0-9 first.
Well so far so good, much better than before.
I was creating a card record with the billing and shipping address. Worked fine for 10 years.
The users on the back end complained about it. Users with no programming experience complained that if they wanted to ship to a different address, they had to create a new card record and enter all the information again.
So I split everything up into separate records, and recorded the ID's of each record in the order record.
But a problem surfaced with duplicate records, in which I did a horrible job in checking for duplicates.
So checking a card record was easy, but checking a address record became more complicated.

Hey Guys/Gals,
New to the forum here im hoping im in the right place. I work for my father at CetraCom in Ohio. He has recently put me on a new project for a client of ours. We're setting up a license scanner/reader that has a software that automatically fills out the info into a database. I need to be able to upload that Database to the States website in an XML format. They have already written the XML Schema. I am not a coder by any means but i did some reading on XML and it seems pretty straight forward. My question is: How would i go about performing this action (uploading the info from the database to their website while following their XML Schema)? Whats the easiest way to go about it?
Thanks for your time/help

Look into serializing / de-serializing objects.
The basic idea is that you create a class which matches the structure of the XML file, then your program instantiates the object, fills in the properties and calls a "Save" method which writes the value of the object out in XML format.
Sounds much easier than it is, but once you get the hang of it, works well.
Lots of articles here on how to serialize objects.
Just a thought.

What database-platform are you using? There'll be different features available in SQL Server than in MS Access 
If you have a database-server, do you want to have the server perform the main part of the effort, or the client (your local computer)?

This project is for a local scrap yard so they will not have a database server it will be run on the computer itself. Once i get home ill link the XML schema the state has provided and other such details to help you help me sorry if i was a bit too vague. As i stated, i am by no means a coder :P . I have messed around with an SQL server a bit before for a program the county uses but its not one i had to set up myself so i am a bit unfamiliar with such things, but im always willing to learn. Thanks for the replies i will post more details this evening EST

SQL Server should be able to convert a table to XML using a SELECT-query.
Can you also provide the structure of the source-tables? You can use below query (with the correct table-name) to get it.
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tableName'

Hello,
I am trying to build a SSIS Package programmatically with .NET (C#).
Now I have problems with the component "OLE DB Source" when trying to set the ParameterMapping in order to use variables in the data flow task.
...
string srcSql = "SELECT bla bla from ABC where YY = ? and BB = ? ";
Source.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2);
Source.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", srcSql );
Guid ParamGuid = new Guid(TrackingIDOld.ID);
Guid ParamGuid1 = new Guid(TrackingIDNew.ID);
Source.SetComponentProperty("Parameter0 Name", ParamGuid.ToString());
Source.SetComponentProperty("Parameter1 Name", ParamGuid1.ToString());
Source.AcquireConnections(null);
Source.ReinitializeMetaData();
...
Alternatively, I also tried this, but it does not work, too:
Source.SetComponentProperty("ParameterMapping", "User::TrackingIDOLD");
Source.SetComponentProperty("ParameterMapping", "User::TrackingIDNew");
Does somebody know the correct syntax how to set the parameters?
Thanks for any advices!
Best wishes,
Miroslav Stimac

I assume you're using some sort of API, but you don't say, so how are we to help you?
Alternatively, I know people who use a product called Mist and its BIML language for generating SSIS packages. (I've never used it, I prefer to do it the hard way.)

Do some research into replication,I think that is what you are looking for

Hello all.
In SQL Server 2012, it is possible to have an email sent to a group when a row is deleted from a given table?
Regards.
|
|
|
|
|
Not having tried this, but I would imagine you can create a trigger on delete from the table that calls a stored procedure to send an e-mail.
As for the syntax, you should be able to find how to create the trigger relatively easily.
But, for sending e-mail, that may be dependent on your e-mail platform.
|
|
|
|
|
I would not recommend sending an email directly from a delete trigger because you may pay a performance penalty and possibly abort your delete transaction if the email server cannot send your message.
Slight change in approach would be to write a custom "logging" table where you capture the entire row from the table and store it. You can then have a separate program read through this table and send emails notifying your distribution list.
The other advantage is that you have a copy of the deleted data. You can purge this data as you see fit.
Just and idea.

I'm converting some old CDao classes to ADO (ODBC) for Access database handling. Part of my code copies a table record from one database to another. When I do the CRecordset::Update I get a CDBException that completely unhelpfully tells me:
m_strError "String data, right truncated
m_strStateNativeOrigin "State:22001,Native:31,Origin:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]
Is there any way to get my code to tell me which field(s) is(are) causing the problem?

I would check the length of everything, data, parameter, target field in the table.

I tried that...I can't find it! 
Surely the driver must 'know' where this happens - why can't it just tell me?

It is the same with SQL Server and has always been an irritant. With SQL Server you have sql profiler and you can trap the actual statement passed to the database including data. You can then manually execute the command in management studio. This gives you a more detailed error response and you can use the mark I eyeball to inspect the data.
I know you can execute sql strings in Access but I do not know where to trap the command passed to the database from the client.
I would strongly suggest moving the database from Access to SQL server if possible.
