Hi there Michael. Ok, I think I see. The crosstab proc you pointed to is one I've used before too... and you can't just substitute a local temp table #pivot for the global ##pivot - it doesn't work (scope issues when executing the dynamically created sql statement perhaps?)
It does seem though that there could be a solution using a local #temp table... I'm just not seeing it right now.
Or maybe you could use a global temp table with a name ##pivot_xxx, where xxx is a number you pull from a crosstab_rowCounter table. Maybe for each call to crosstab, start by inserting a row into crosstab_rowCounter - this table could have an identity field that you retrieve to serve as the xxx in the ##pivot_xxx naming convention. At the end of the crosstab procedure, then remove the row from crosstab_rowCounter. Do you think that might work?

Insert into Names(Name) values('FirstName,I,LastName');
it has 3 commas, but SQL server doesn't accept commas.
Does anyone have any idea?

SQL server does inserts comma in the table.
Check the following query :
Insert into Names(Name) values(FirstName + ',' + I + ',' + LastName');

Another cheap trick if you have characters in code is to do a cast with the ascii value:
string apos = (char)39;
But yeah, I can't see why you wouldn't be able to insert a comma - it must be syntactical.

I think you're a bit confused with the syntax of the insert command (Im presuming that your table 'Names' has more than one column ... )
INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1, value2,....)
or
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2,...)
VALUES (value1, value2,....)
here's a link to a handy ref site :

If you're saying you need to insert FirstName, I, Lastname into one column and separate them with commas then this is how you should do it:
INSERT INTO Names(Name) VALUES (FirstName + ',' + I + ',' + LastName)
This should insert the name into the database like this: 'John,M,Smith'
Hope that helps

i'm new to the .net enviroment, and i'm trying to make my web application store to an access database .
my database fields are:
E-Name
E-Email
StartDate
EndDate
Reason
S-Name
S-Email
Approved
ApprovedBy
ApprovedDate
my textboxes that correspoond are
tbName
tbEmail
tbStart
tbEnd
tbReason
tbSupervisor
tbPermission
tbApproved
tbapprDate
all help would be greatly appreciated.
also, the database key is ID which is set to autonumber. i also need to query and retrieve that number.
Thanks greatly.

Hi there, Dustin. I would recommend you look at some tutorials to get you started with ASP.NET and database handling. The QuickStart tutorials[^] are a good place to start. In particular, you'll want to read the tutorial "Server-Side Data Access" from the QuickStarts.
You'll start to familiarize yourself with the data objects that you'll need. In a nutshell, you'll find them in the System.Data and System.Data.OleDb namespaces (look for these in the .NET SDK documentation.) You'll use an OleDbConnection object to establish a connection to your access .mdb file. You'll then create an OleDbCommand object to represent your insert statement. Use OleDbParameter objects with the OleDbCommand to apply the values from your textboxes, and use the ExecuteNonQuery method to issue the command to the database. When selecting records you'll likely use a DataSet object or perhaps an OleDataReader
Here is a very raw example of a page that performs an insert to an Access database (in C#):
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb" %>
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
void btnSubmit_Click(object o, EventArgs e)
{
const string kCONNECT_STRING =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; "
+ @"Data Source=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tests\test.mdb";
const string kINSERT_STATEMENT =
"INSERT INTO [MyTable] ([E-Name], [E-Email]) "
+ " Values (@pName , @pEmail) ";
OleDbConnection con = null;
OleDbCommand cmd = null;
OleDbParameter pName = null;
OleDbParameter pEmail = null;
int insertedID = -1;
try
{
con = new OleDbConnection(kCONNECT_STRING);
con.Open();
cmd = new OleDbCommand(kINSERT_STATEMENT, con);
pName = new OleDbParameter("@pName", DbType.String);
pName.Value = tbName.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add(pName);
pEmail = new OleDbParameter("@pEmail", DbType.String);
pEmail.Value = tbEmail.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add(pEmail);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT @@Identity";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Clear();
insertedID = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Response.Write(
string.Format("Record has been inserted and assigned ID# {0}."
,insertedID) );
}
catch (Exception x)
{
Response.Write("There has been an error. ");
Response.Write(x.Message);
}
finally
{
if (cmd != null) cmd.Dispose();
if (con != null) con.Dispose();
}
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<h3>Insert into Access</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><asp:TextBox id="tbName" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><asp:TextBox id="tbEmail" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<asp:Button id="btnSubmit" runat="server" text="Insert"
onClick="btnSubmit_Click" />
</form>
</body>
</html>Another way to go about it is to use the OleDbDataAdapter object - there happens to be a good article on MSDN[^] that discusses how to retrieve the autonumber value after an insert, and their sample code uses OleDbDataAdapter. You may want to go in that direction.
One final word: Access is a good single-user desktop database. It is not as good as other RDBMS (for a variety of reasons) when it comes to multi-user web applications. SQL Server or Oracle may be better choices if you have the $$$. If cost is an issue, you may want to investigate using MSDE - a lighter-weight SQL Server from Microsoft, or perhaps even MySQL.
I hope this helps.

Thanks -
that is very helpful. I had some code running Select Max(...) type stuff and this seems a bit more robust.

Hello,
I'm trying to build a database. I'm using ACCESS 2000 to test my queries, but instead of a good start, I'm having a bad one...
When I tried to exucute one of my first queries if faild due to syntax errors. The query looks like this:
CREATE TABLE a
( col_a char(3) not null,
col_b integer not null default('3'),
primary key(col_a),
foreign key(col_b) references b
on delete no action
on update cascade
);
The errors I say that I cant use DEFAULT and ON...
Now is my question: Is my syntax that bad, or do I need a complete DBMS (like SQL server 2000) to execute such advanced queries?
Thanks in advandce

Every SQL based engine has slightly different syntax. On the DDL side the syntax differences are even more varied.
You will also find many differences on the syntax for JOINS between TSQL and Access queries.
SQL should expand to 'Suggested Query Language'.

True, but I looked the syntax up in msdn (even copy/paste the damn code) and it didn't work

The syntax is a bit more wordy but, serves its purpose.

Unfortunately those SQL statements don't work. I guess that I have to test my DBase on a complete DBMS instead of access 2k..
Thanks for your help

Thanks,
I solved the problem. I did a minimum installation. I figured that the MSDE (Microsoft Database Engine) was needed for the complexe queries.
Everything works fine since I fully installed MS Acces 2k.

hi,
why after execution of 'begin transaction' the @@trancount=2(original value is 0)?
thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
When ever a transaction is initiated the @@trancount increases by 1. when a rollback is issued (Even with in nested transaction) the value reset to 0. i am not sure what happens during commit trans (may be it decremented by 1)
Cheers,

yes,commit trans decremented by 1,but after this command ,the @@trancount is
1,not 0,the problem is what makes the strange,the @@trancount incremented by 2?

Do you work in Implicit Transactions mode which may be causing this effect ?
|
|
|
|
|
no,i assure i had not used this mode
|
|
|
|
|
oh,i'm sorry,
i did work in Implicit Transactions mode,but this mode was not setted by me,
now how can i cancel this mode
|
|
|
|
|
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS OFF
good luck
|
|
|
|
|
thanks,
but a new problem appears,when i call this proc in my embeded c sql,the return
value is -266,which is the same problem @@trancount,i am nearly insane for this bad luck,why?
