I generally find SQL Server Books OnLine is an ideal place to start with help with SQL Server but that is just me.

Yeah, but I'm under the impression that in version 2000 the identity can only be disabled. Constraints can be dropped, but is identity modelled as constraint in 2000? Didn't find any clear answer for that.

I have a 'product' table, with an integer foreign key into a 'productLine' table. I populate a Products menu with one child item for each product line, and when that menu item is clicked, an image gallery for that product line opens. My issue is that I need the product line name on the gallery page, so I must either pass the productLineId in the url, and use it as a filter parameter in my product image query, and perform a separate lookup to get the product line name, or join the two tables, and pass the product line name as part of the url. I don't feel comfortable with using the join only for this reason. What are the general opinions on a matter like this?

Personally, unless there is a very good reason not to, I would pass the name and id. You need the id to look up the images, but database access is relatively expensive so I would avoid the round trip just to get the name.

I'm already avoiding the round trip by using a denormalised view, where each product record includes the product name view.

Well there you go, you are doing it the way I would.

How many of these lookups do you have? It seems likely your data layer would be caching them anyway...

Are you saying you want to run a macro in MS Word from within your database? I don't think that is possible...
|

Yes, i want to run macro in MS Word from database, and maybe that's not possible. ok, i will try looking for other way.
thank u for your replay, ChandraRam

If you're trying to use the article you mentioned before(www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/data_dictionary.aspx[^]), the idea is that you place the macro in a new Word document (using macro editor), modify it and run it.
If it is something else you're after, please describe with more details.

hi all,
i simply write a small code of piece which create backup of Sql server database. It works well but whenever i set the target path of back file to Desktop( or program files folder) then it gives following error
"Can not open backup device" & Target Path & ". Operating system error 5(Access is denied) /or Operating system error 3(Error not found).
Any body can help me to resolve this error ?

Hi Rupesh,
The backup crated by the sql server can be stored only on the machine where the SQL server is installed. Just create a folder in SQLServer and give full permission to this folder and then try to create the backup. I hope it will work.
Thx

Now, a question for YOU. Which takes longer, typing it in to CP and waiting for a reply, or typing in into query analyser and running it?
A clue, try the CASE statement.

Hi there,
I think you might want to use a CASE statement. Not sure which database system you are using but it would look something like this...
SELECT
column1,
column2,
CASE column3 WHEN 0 THEN 'Z' ELSE 'C' END
FROM table1

Kevin

In order to help you, you should specify, what is the problem you're experiencing. If it's an error message, post the actual message you get.
