oh - ok I see the problem. You can't use a variable in the FROM clause. You may need to put the function in place of @dates or use a derived set.

The only advice I can give is to dump the dbo.calculation function, and compute the various parts in the SELECT clause instead, probably using separate functions.

I believe SQL Server is able to look inside a function when compiling a query plan, so it may be able to perform whatever operations you have specified in parallel anyway.

tabledef access using ADO.NET

I am trying to access the Connection String in a Linked MS Access table.
This is easy inside of Access - but I can not seem to do it through ADO.NET.

I have been able to get as far as using ADOX and listing out the Tabledef properties,
The connection string is property index 5 - but I can not write anything back.

I need to be able to change this setting.

Help - anybody - Been wracking my brain on this one - so close - but I haven't found
any articles on this.

Problems with Access and Odbc

jan larsen1-Feb-04 23:18

Has anyone else experienced problems with Access accessed through ODBC?
I'm using JDBC and the JDBC-ODBC bridge from Sun. The process is this:

1. A row, let's call it <code>R</code>, is updated using SQL an not the updateXXX API.
2. <code>R</code> is fetched into a resultset and a <code>long</code> value, L, is retrieved.
3. <code>L</code> is incremented and <code>R</code> gets updated, again using simple SQL.

The problem is in step 3. The executeUpdate() reports that 1 row is updated, and if I had executed the SQL in Access directly that would have been the case.
But the row is actually not updated at all, the Statement object is set to AutoCommit and everythings seems fine, so this is really the most horrible of all errors: One that just silently let's the user, and the developer, think that all is OK while the data just gets corrupted.

One solution could be to use MSDE instead, but I'm sure that a lot of users would want to use Access.
I really would like to know if this is an ODBC problem or an error in the JDBC-ODBC bridge.

Microsoft SQL 2 tables alias GROUP BY questions

Member 57510430-Jan-04 15:59

30-Jan-04 15:59

Hi, I got the following question.
I got 2 tables in Lets say A and B
Structures of the tables are:
"A" table "B" Table
OldName Number New_name Number Value Time

Time field in "B" table in following format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS"
So knowing the alias I can easily create a query:
select A.New_Name,A.Old_Name,B.Value,B.Time from A,B where A.Number = B.Number AND B.Time BETWEEN '2003-12-01' AND '2004-01-30' AND (A.New_Name like '%mw%' OR A.New_Name like '%mv%');
Everything worked so far. But, cause Value probe in "B" table happening every 3 minutes, and Name entries are about 10000 in the table,identified by '%mv" and '%mw', I simply cannot get some much data (imaging 60 days * 60min/3min * 24 * 10000 and you will get the magic number of rows. Tried to run it throught Database client or Vbscript ADO connections it is taking about 4 hours to complete. Cause I'm having 20 tables like that on 20 independent servers it is simply unacceptable for a time frame. So, we dicided instead of each minute to get an average for an each hour. I cannot get an average throught Vbscript (programmatically), cause it will not improve the database dump performance, I've to do it throught SQL. And here is the problem, I'm very familiar with MySQL logic and syntaksis, but this is my first time I'm querying Microsoft SQL server. Tried to construct the query - didn't work.
So result of my query should look like that
Time Name Value
01-30-04 00:00 abbmw 10
01-30-04 01:00 bbccmv 20
01-30-04 02:00 cccmvar 30
and so on.
Can somebody help me with this ?
Thank you very much.

Sincerely
vladfrenkel

I'm not sure whether this may help, but it doesn't hurt to try:

1. Index your tables, especially A.Number, B.Number, B.Time. I don't think indexing A.New_Name will help if you're using wildcard. Indexing your tables will help the performance when you're doing a search.

2. Do not write your SQL statements in the VBScript. Write them as Views (queries) in the SQL Database.
Views are precompiled (correct me if I'm wrong) and runs faster than a statement passed through VBScript.
You can then call the views from your VBScript (e.g. 'SELECT * FROM qryAB').

3. I'm guessing the reason the query is taking too long is the wildcard used. You may want to create a query just to join tables A and B (SELECT A.New_Name, A.Old_Name, B.Value, B.Time FROM A INNER JOIN B ON A.Number = B.Number WHERE B.Time BETWEEN '2003-12-01' AND '2004-01-30'). If this query doesn't take a long time then the wildcard is the cause.
After that, you can split the next View into two to get the final result, i.e.
"SELECT * FROM firstQuery WHERE New_Name LIKE '%mw%'"
"SELECT * FROM secondQuery WHERE New_Name LIKE '%mw'"
If you need the results as one then you don't need to split the Views. But if you're fine with it, there are ways to split the query so you can work on smaller portions of the data.

I hope it helps Smile | :)

Reading in an XML File into a DataSet

I am trying to read an XML document into a .NET DataSet object. I used the XSD.EXE utility to generate a schema file for this XML document. This schema has re-ocurring elements that I would like to load as records into my DataSet. However, I only want to load certain child elements as fields into the DataSet record.

Is there a way I can modify this schema file such that I can use the DataSet.ReadXml method to parse this XML file and create the proper table rows??

Thanks

I don't know if this is good way or not, DataSet.ReadXML() accept stream of XML or XML Text, with XML classes such as XMLReader or XPath classes for XML first load your proper nodes into XMLReader or String and then pass this parameter into DataSet.ReadXML().

ADO.NET,C#, and MS:Access

Hi Gang,
Here's what I've got,
I've got information stored in one table/database that I'd like to move to another table/database.

Sounds pretty simple doesn't it?

Well, here's where the pickle comes into play.

The tables could potentially be dynamic. So I can't used a predefined DataSet to do the moves, so I have to recreate the datasets each time. That part isn't even necessarily the problem.

The problem I'm running into is:

What happens when my tables have memo fields in them?
Some of our tables have Ole embedded (Not my choice, but I have to live with it) in them that also need to be mapped.

I'm trying to do this all with ado.net using C#.

If I can't I'll probably just end up writing it in VB6. I know we can do it in there, we have. But then again, that's using DAO, not ADO.Net.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Nick

CDao MFC classes and a Access 97 DB

Hi, I´m using the CDao classes from the MFC to manipulate and store data in an Access 97 db, using the Jet 3.5. engine. I was wondering if there are any good books that someone could suggest for reading. Any thing I´ve found sofar is all to to with VB. Even the various help files use VB examples. (I´m using Dev Studio 97 VC++ 5.0).

Normal opererations like deleteing,adding,modifying,
querydef´s and the like is quite simple, but creating relationshiups between tables is quite annoying, and the msdn does not help that much.

Thanks in advance

Most of the samples you'll find will be VB. Many of the Office related technologies are promoted (at least, their automation models are!) through use of VB, VBA or VBS. In the case of JET this isn't exactly a surprise, given the use of VB as the scripting language.

However, I assume you've already got the DAO SDK (I believe it's on the VC++ CD). You could try getting hold of the JET Programmers Guide, which is (or was) an MS Press book.

Another thing to do is get hold of the VB->VC++ automation conversion tool that was on the MSDN site some time ago. It doesn't do 100% conversion of course, but usually enough to get you started on the right road.

Then you can use ODBC directly. Or, better yet, get or write your own wrapper classes around ODBC.

I have used my own set of ODBC wrapper classes since ODBC came out. Never have to think about it again...

I had problems as well updating a join table dataset. What I did is simple check the .HasChanges (I think) property and update each table individually in a transaction.

try
  'Begin a transaction
  '......
  If ds.Table(0).HasChanges then
    'Update table(0)
  end if
  if ds.Table(1).HasChanges then
    'Update table(0)
  end if
  'commit the transaction
  '.....
catch ex
  'Rollback the transaction
  '.....
finally
  'set any variable to nothing
  '.....
end try

Hope this is helpful.

Retrieving autonumber when inserting data in a table

I have a table in an access database. This table has an ID field that is set to be Autonumber and it is the tables primary key.
When I insert new data I would like to know what number the new row got. Is there a nice clean simple way to do this without having to search that table for the data just entered?

Just how do you use it? Is that the complete SQL command I need or do I need to place it in some larger SQL command or something?

Immediately after you insert statement call the Select @@Identity or preferably Select @ID = @@Identity where @ID is an output parameter.

create proc xyz
( @Name varchar(50),
@ID int output
)
AS

Insert into ....
....

Select @ID = @@Identity

GO
