I'm using this,
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & m_path & "; Extended Properties=dBASE IV"
for accessing dbf files in Account Mate DOS
Is there an Order By, to sort the records by date?
Or do I have to do a sort on the structure that I stored the values in

Interesting.
I used a DataTable in my RDLC report generator class. Forget that I can sort in the report RDLC Tablix.
So I passed a structure to my database class, to load a DataTable in the report class, to pass to the RDLC.
Guess I should take the DataTable straight to the database function to populate it.
I wrote this early last summer, sort of forgot how it worked.
But good call David on the DataTable.

I'm trying to find a better way of matching an address. So I was thinking, the credit card processors use the street address 1 and zip or postal code to do a AVS match, and perhaps I should just copy that idea.
I wrote this, sort of copied it and made some edits
But I can't get it right. I can't figure out where to place my input to match against.
DECLARE @PostalCode VarChar(12), @CustomerID Int, @StreetAddress1 VarChar(80);
SET @PostalCode = '92648';
SET @CustomerID = 5;
SET @StreetAddress1 = '18751 Park Haven Lane';
SELECT *
FROM CUSTOMER_SHIPPING_ADDRESS
WHERE LEFT(@StreetAddress1, 5) IN (
SELECT LEFT(StreetAddress1, 5)
FROM CUSTOMER_SHIPPING_ADDRESS
GROUP BY LEFT(StreetAddress1, 5 )
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
AND PostalCode = @PostalCode
AND CustomerID = @CustomerID

Oh I think I get it now, should of had a cup of coffee this morning
DECLARE @PostalCode VarChar(12), @CustomerID Int, @StreetAddress1 VarChar(80);
SET @PostalCode = '92648';
SET @CustomerID = 5;
SET @StreetAddress1 = '18751 Park Haven Lane';
SELECT *
FROM CUSTOMER_SHIPPING_ADDRESS
WHERE PostalCode = @PostalCode
AND CustomerID = @CustomerID
AND LEFT(StreetAddress1, 5) = LEFT(@StreetAddress1, 5)

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.)
