hi micheal,
My host is in the same workgroup as my client but both are not join to any domain. I have found that by logging in to a shared folder in the host terminal I can succcessfully searched for my sqlserver. Looks like the client needs to establish the path to the host terminal first before it can locate the sqlserver.
Any advise how I can make do without the login yet still can locate the sqlserver?
Thank you.

I would think it would work the same as a domain.
Try:
<workgroup>\<server name="">
or
\\<workgroup>\<server name="">
If you fiddle around enough, you will find the required connection string.

Hi All
i have a sp which to querys a database, but each time the sp is run the name of one of the tables
changes, so i want to pass the table name into the query as a string
something like
DECLARE @table_name varchar(100)
set @table_name='mytable'
exec ('select my_id from ' + @table_name+' ORDER BY my_ID')
which works fine when im only using one table
i wanted to do a join across several tables, and do something like
set @sql_stmt = 'select callingnumber,seizedatetime,callednumber,new_action.telephone,new_action.action1,new_action.action2, new_call.student_id, datepart(dd,seizedatetime) as myday, null as sent_it
from new_call,new_action,'+@table_name+'
where new_call.call_ID=new_action.call_id'
EXEC ( @sql_stmt )
but that doesnt work
does ne1 have any ideas

I don't see the error. What is the error msg?
You might try printing the result instead of exec right off the bat. Paste the result into another qa window and see what errors you get.
Hope that helps

Looks to me like you forget to put a statement in the WHERE clause to join @table_name to either new_call or new_action.
I can't be sure, but it also looks like you may have a whitespace problem.
Are you actually getting an error message, or are just just not getting the results you expected?

Can anyone help me on how to change text field to ntext (ms-sql 2000), not using enterprise manager, rather programmatically ? or article that says it is not possible.
|
|
|
|
|
search the forum for your problem..
a similer problem was post in the last month as i recall..
I think there were no direct way ..
you must create the ntext column .. copy all data form the old text column to the new one .. and drop the old column..
|
|
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE tbl ALTER COLUMN col ntext
I think that ought to work, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm just loaded with questions. But you guys do give some the best help out there!
I have an SQL statement here:
<br />
SELECT *<br />
FROM ((((((SK_SKILLSINAGES AS sia INNER JOIN AG_AGESINERAS AS ae ON sia.AgeCode = ae.AgeCode) INNER JOIN AG_ERA AS e ON ae.EraCode = e.EraCode) INNER JOIN SK_CATEGORYGROUPS AS cg ON sia.GroupCode = cg.GroupCode) INNER JOIN SK_CATEGORY AS c ON (sia.CategoryCode = c.CategoryCode) AND (sia.GroupCode = c.GroupCode)) INNER JOIN SK_SKILLS AS s ON sia.SkillCode = s.SkillCode) LEFT JOIN SK_SUBSKILLS AS ss ON (sia.SkillCode = ss.SkillCode AND sia.SubSkillCode = ss.SubSkillCode) OR (sia.SkillCode = ss.SkillCode AND ss.Table = -1)) LEFT JOIN UnionQuery AS uq ON sia.SubSkillCode = uq.Code<br />
ORDER BY e.Description, ae.Description, cg.Description, c.Description, s.Description, ss.Description;<br />
This above works. However if I add the following
<br />
SELECT *<br />
FROM ((((((SK_SKILLSINAGES AS sia INNER JOIN AG_AGESINERAS AS ae ON sia.AgeCode = ae.AgeCode) INNER JOIN AG_ERA AS e ON ae.EraCode = e.EraCode) INNER JOIN SK_CATEGORYGROUPS AS cg ON sia.GroupCode = cg.GroupCode) INNER JOIN SK_CATEGORY AS c ON (sia.CategoryCode = c.CategoryCode) AND (sia.GroupCode = c.GroupCode)) INNER JOIN SK_SKILLS AS s ON sia.SkillCode = s.SkillCode) LEFT JOIN SK_SUBSKILLS AS ss ON (sia.SkillCode = ss.SkillCode AND sia.SubSkillCode = ss.SubSkillCode) OR (sia.SkillCode = ss.SkillCode AND ss.Table = -1)) LEFT JOIN UnionQuery AS uq ON sia.SubSkillCode = uq.Code AND uq.Table = ss.Table<br />
ORDER BY e.Description, ae.Description, cg.Description, c.Description, s.Description, ss.Description;<br />
This doesn't work. Anyone know why adding to the LEFT JOIN like that would break it?
Thanks!

You asked a similar question last week. Not sure if you've gone back and read all those responses, or whether any worked for you.

Yeah... I realize that now. I was able to get around that one question but I guess I didn't see your response or at least remembered it when I reached this problem. You're most likely right, and there is a parsing error happening. I tried removing the parens but now I think Access is just confused even more. It's telling me I'm missing operators and what not.
What's funny here is that you could reverse the statements that are joined with the AND, that is, take the added statement and replace it with the statement which works and the query still holds. This is what got me. Why would both queries work by themselves but not together in an AND statement.
I'll keep plugging away. Hopefully I come up with something. If not, I'm hoping someone sees the needle in the haystack i have obviously overlooked.

Is it possible to edit a pre-existing Query programmically in ADO? I see a SetQuery() method however I think that is meant more for runtime queries and commands and not to update the database itself. That is, I already have a query defined in my database as an SQL statement, and would like to update the SQL in the query, if necessary, through ADO.
Thanks!

Is it possible to list a field value as a value in an SQL query? For example.
instead of this
<br />
SQL.Format("SELECT * FROM TABLE1;");<br />
if(query(SQL) is ok)<br />
{<br />
GetField("DatabaseTable", Table);<br />
SQL.Format("SELECT * from %s;", Table);<br />
if(query(SQL) is ok)<br />
{<br />
...<br />
}<br />
}<br />
I want this
<br />
SQL.Format("SELECT * FROM [SELECT DatabaseTable FROM TABLE1] t1");<br />
if(query(SQL) is ok)<br />
{<br />
...<br />
}<br />
that is if I have a field in TABLE1 that has for its value a table name, how can use that table name automatically without parsing one SQL query for that field then making a whole new query on the DatabaseTable. Using a current database design doing what I am doing which is example 1, bogs down the program since it is making 100's of these calls. I would like to keep down the SQL queries if possible.
If not, does anyone know another possible solution? In a sense, I make probably 500 SQL calls in a single function thanks to this database design. If I can't come with a solution, then the database design needs to change so my SQL calls go down.
The reason this is, is because I allow a user to define custom tables to represent subskills in skills. That is they can define a skill with either a set list of subskills in a SUBSKILL table or define a table. I do this because I have some skills with 100's of subskills and separating the content seemed easier to tackle and handle in a database than shoving it all into the SUBSKILLS table.
Thanks!

No you can't
brchris wrote:

Use stored procedures. You can write a stored procedure to query the first table, create a string that contains the second query and return the result back - this will mean you only need to call the database once. It is still inefficient as the query optimiser can't pre-optimise a stored procedure that is executining a string as it has to parse the string at runtime, rather than at compile time. But at least it will cut down on database calls and network roundtrips and so on.
brchris wrote:

You could extend stored procedure approach, if possible, and do everything from one call. Of course, your database design may not allow it, but it would be worth seeing if there is anything that could be suitably grouped as stored procedures are much more efficient and have added security benefits (you can deny direct access to tables and route all queries/inserts/updates/deletes through stored procedures, which means you always know what queries are being executed)
Does this help?

In a sense. I never heard of Stored Procedures until now. Pretty cool stuff. I looked into and it seems I can't create them using what I have currently. I read in the help that I need to be connected to a MS SQL Server which I am not. I tried to test it with this SQL statement
<br />
"CREATE PROC procProductsList AS SELECT * FROM SK_SKILLS;"
which didn't work. I may not be able to create Stored Procedures. Or else maybe I didn't do enough research. 
A possible workaround solution (if I can't find how to make Store Procedures in Access XP) could be to make a query in Access that combines all my userdefined tables and I just join this table with my SQL query in ADO
thanks for the tip!

Hi
I installed MySQL 4.0.16 on windows.
the manual says I should run mysql_install_db to initialize the mysql database containing the grant tables.
now in the scripts folder there are : mysql_install_db and mysql_install_db.sh files..
both are not executables as you see..
now what should I install to run these scripts ? is it Perl or what ?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe that instruction is for linux. Those db's should already be installed. Look for section 2.4.1 in the manual.

thank you..
If it's ment by (grant tables) the MySQL DB and it's tables (user,db,...) then maybe you are right..they were installed automatically..
but in this case why are these scripts included with the binaries ?
|
|
|
|
|
your welcome
yes - it is for the grant tables. I suppose you might need it if something happened to that db.

Welcome to the wonderful world of open-source, cross-platform development.
Most likely, whoever did the packaging is more familiar with the Linux distro than the Win32 distro, and didn't know which pieces did and didn't need to be in the Win32 distro, so they were all thrown in.

Hi all, I have a DataGrid and two text controls bound to the same source. I have no problem changing the CurrencyManager position to navigate through the data. However, if I bind my DataGrid to a DataView, the position changing routines no longer work on the grid.
please help me.
