I think it is the same syntax as the above submitted comment. It might be the same between a view in sql server and view in access. Because view in access is using access probject and view is store in the sql server. But some issue you should consern about such as:
1. Does your system connect to sql server database every time? and make sure that it is not interrup.
2. When create database object (table, query, view...) try to use naming convention. (Ex: if you want to create table name "Customers", name it "tblCustomers" instead of "Customers). Naming convention help you to identify the right database object in your SELECT sql statement.
3. Use bracket if your database object name has a space in the middle. (Ex: you have table named "Customer name", in SELECT statement use the bracket to [Customer name], SELECT * FROM [Customer name])
Check it again and told us if it still have a probme. Post an error message when you challenges with it again.

Hello,
In my SQL Server, Table named Hardware, Attributes - HardwareID(VarChar), Price(money). When I want to get the edit text boxes, I declare as
Dim hprice As String = Ctype(e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(0), TextBox).Text
What can I do to stop the error below?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The error is not occuring on the line you have specified.
From the call stack, it looks like you are attempting to insert an empty string (I am assuming this is coming from the text box). Is this so? If that is the case then it is cannot be converted to a valid decimal format. You need to check for the user inputting invalid information before attempting to insert it into the database.
If you need to insert a NULL valid into the field use System.DBNull.Value
Does this help?

From the email that you sent me the appropriate line appears to be:
UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Price", SqlDbType.Decimal, 9).Value = hprice
But only if the textbox used to populate hprice (which you mentioned in your previous post) contains a value that cannot be interpreted as a decimal.
As I've already mentioned, you need to perform validation on the user input to ensure that invalid and nonsense values are rejected properly. As this is a price, I would guess that the only valid characters are the numeric characters and the decimal point (or comma - depending on your locality)
One easy way around this to perform the conversion yourself, then pass the converted value as the parameter. Wrap the conversion in a try catch block so that if the input from the user is incorrect you can catch it and report to the user their input is incorrect.
Decimal convertedHPrice = Convert.ToDecimal(hprice);
UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Price", SqlDbType.Decimal, 9).Value = convertedHPrice

Colin...... the code is here...

' update the database with the new values
' get the edit text boxes
Dim id As String = (CType(e.Item.Cells(2).Controls(0), TextBox)).Text

'********************** Problem is here below here...
Dim hprice As String = (Ctype(e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(0), TextBox)).Text
Dim hdesc As String = (CType(e.Item.Cells(5).Controls(0), TextBox)).Text
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim UpdateCommand As SqlCommand = new SqlCommand()
UpdateCommand.Connection = myConnection
If AddingNew = True Then
UpdateCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Hardware(HardwareID, Name, Price, Description) VALUES (@HardwareID, @Name, @Price, @Description)"
Else
UpdateCommand.CommandText = "UPDATE Hardware SET HardwareID = @HardwareID, Name = @Name, Price = @Price, Description = @Description WHERE HardwareID = @HardwareID"
End If
UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@HardwareID", SqlDbType.Varchar, 5).Value = id
UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = lname
'************************************** Problem is here below here...
UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Price", SqlDbType.Money, 8).Value = hprice
UPdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Description", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100).Value = hdesc
' execute the command
Try
myConnection.Open()
UpdateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex as Exception
Message.Text = ex.ToString()
Finally
myConnection.Close()
End Try
' Resort the grid for new records
If AddingNew = True Then

BindGrid()
End Sub

i thought SQLsrv2k had a interface for 3rd part software to gain operation infomation. For example, while a record is inserted into a table, the 3rd part software might get this information.
also it might like the windows message mechanism, any operation may produce a message to windows or others.
is this possible ?

DO you mean TRIGGERS? Can set one up On insert / update / delete which can then execute code inside SQL Server, or do you mean the ability for a third party app to recieve change notification?

Triggers might be a solution for this. But it need to modify the database. So i prefer a third party application to do this without modify the database.
i thought it can receive change notification like windows hook doing.
where can i start ? And is there aother way ?
|
|
|
|

Think that you would struggle to do it - the 3rd party app would need to constantly poll the DB looking for changes, which at best would affect performance!

I am trying to take the result of a caculation of two fields in one table and place it into a field in another table? Is this possible?
I have two tables StoreItems and TicketItems. I need to get a unit cost from my StoreItems table by dividing the cost for an entire case (CaseCost) by the case count (CaseCount) and then placing that result into the Cost field of an item in the TicketItems table with a corresponding PLU (like an SKU). PLU and StoreID are the two fields in the tables that link them together. In a nutshell I need this:
StoreItems.Cost = TicketItems.CaseCost / TicketItems.CaseCount
Keep in mind that I need to run this on every record in the two tables so just passing in a StoreID and PLU is not enough. This has to be done across the board--that is, every TicketItems record needs to have its Cost column set when this has finished running.
Thank you.

Off the top of my head the following should do what you want.
[EDIT] Oops. I made a mistake the Cost field you are updating is in the StoreItems table, the original query was updating the TicketItems table  [/EDIT]
UPDATE StoreItems
SET Cost = TicketItems.CaseCost / TicketItems.CaseCount
FROM TicketItems, StoreItems
WHERE TicketItems.PLU = StoreItems.PLU
You can get more information in your SQL Server books online, look up the index for UPDATE, UPDATE (described)
Does this help?

Actually, no you were right the first time. The cost field is in the TicketItems table not the StoreItems table. So what did that query look like?

Almost the same actually:
UPDATE TicketItems
SET Cost = TicketItems.CaseCost / TicketItems.CaseCount
FROM TicketItems, StoreItems
WHERE TicketItems.PLU = StoreItems.PLU
I'm now a bit confused, which table do the CaseCost and CaseCount items reside? If it is StoreItems then the query will look like this instead:
UPDATE TicketItems
SET Cost = StoreItems.CaseCost / StoreItems.CaseCount
FROM TicketItems, StoreItems
WHERE TicketItems.PLU = StoreItems.PLU
The second query assumes:
TicketItems.PLU
TicketItems.Cost
StoreItems.PLU
StoreItems.CastCost
StoreItems.CaseCount
PLU is the common field that joins the two tables.
This update will update every row in the TicketItems table.
Does this help? Or have I confused you in return?

I think the second one is right. Let me try it out.

Yes . you can update from one or more table ., Try this sql. may be want to change some col names. I think you get the idea.. 
UPDATE StoreItems
SET Cost = T.CaseCost / T.CaseCount
FROM StoreItems S INNER JOIN TicketItems T
ON S.PLU = T.PLU

I've been reading the former Wrox book "Professional ADO.NET Programming", and the samples in Chapter 3 requies an SQL database named "WroxDB", the downloaded source code includes a SQL script file named "WroxDB.sql". I'm new in SQL scripts, and stored procedures. I have VS.NET and MSDE installed, I tried running this script from osql using this:
C:\MSSQL7\Binn>osql -U sa -P -i C:\WroxDB.sql
The WroxDB.sql file contains this:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tabAuthors]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[tabAuthors]
GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tabPayments]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[tabPayments]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tabAuthors] (
[AuthorID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Author_FirstName] [char] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[Author_LastName] [char] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[Photo] [image] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tabPayments] (
[PaymentID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[AuthorID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Payment] [money] NOT NULL ,
[Paid] [bit] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
This execution always displays this message:
1> 2> 3> 1> 2> 3> 4> 1> 2> 3> 4> 5> 6> 7> 8> Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server
MANUELJR, Procedure , Line 4

'COLLATE'.
1> 2> 3> 4> 5> 6> 7> 8> 1> 2>

Please help, support in APRESS in this book is terrible.

(1)I would run this in SQL Query Analyzer instead of osql. By default, sa is going to create these structures in the Master DB. That is never a wise method of operating. You could add a few statements at the top to handle the database creation also.
CREATE DATABASE TestingDb
GO
USE TestingDb
GO
(2) The script ran fine on my box. You can always drop the COLLATE statement and just use your systems default collation for strings. Your error may have something to do with your SQL version or SQL installation choices.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tabAuthors] (
[AuthorID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Author_FirstName] [char] (50) NOT NULL ,
[Author_LastName] [char] (50) NOT NULL ,
[Photo] [image] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO

This is a SQL 2000 script that you are running on SQL 7. Not all of the SQL 2000 syntax is supported in SQL 7 -- specifically, it may run if you remove the COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS pieces. There may be other incompatibilities though.
