Can't be done, AFAIK.
If you can say a little more about:
1) what you are using the query for
2) what you are trying to accomplish
someone might be able to suggest a work-around.

Hi
I am a .net programmer writing database codes.
my qestion is:
Every time I do a project I should go to customer's office and install SQL Server on his computer , because my codes uses "sql server" as DBMS.
now...
CAN You help me to do something to avoid this?
for example a way to packaging sql server engine in my program install package?
regards
|

You can package MSDE, but I'll bet it's not legal to do it with SQL-Server as your clients needs licenses for it.
You can do it with MSDE, and just make it install in silent mode, using it's commandline switches.

Well, I'd still consider myself a newbie here. I was hoping someone would be
able to rewrite the following monster to be more efficient.
Thank You and Good Luck!

This looks like some sort of dynamic search procedure. Stored procedures are a particularly poor fit for this sort of thing. It is far easier to write dynamic SQL on the client.
If you absolutely have to write it in a stored procedure, then you should consider using the exec command inside the stored proc. That will let you execute dynamically constructed SQL, which would be much simpler.
By this I mean that you can dynamically build the SQL string (based on the parameters), much as you could in a normal programming language.

Just my 2 cents....
Sql S 2000?
I would put this part into a table valued function:
For sex I would use and in (i.e WHERE ttester.sexid in(@sexid):
IF @sexid = '*' SET @sexid = 'm,f'
That would narrow it down a bit
BEGIN SELECT distinct datediff(dd, getdate(), tGroup.ScheduleStamp) * -1 as DaysPast, tResultQue.TesterID, tTester.LastName, tTester.FirstName, tTester.WorkNo, tTester.WorkExtension as WorkExt, tTester.HomeNo, tTester.SexID as Sex, tTester.Birth, tTester.RaceID as Race, Poof.CallStamp as CallActivity, Poof.StudyNo as StudyActivity, Poof.QueStatusID as Status, TCall.CallFrom, TCall.CallTo
FROM tGroup INNER JOIN tResultQue ON (tGroup.GroupID = tResultQue.GroupID) INNER JOIN tTester ON (tResultQue.TesterID = tTester.TesterID) left join @CAct as Poof on (Poof.TesterID = tTester.TesterID) left join @CallFT as TCall on (TCall.TesterID = tTester.TesterID)
WHERE tTester.Birth >= @LBirth AND tTester.Birth <= @UBirth AND tGroup.ScheduleStamp <= @DD AND tTester.TesterID
Then I would call the function:
SELECT Distinct dayspast,etc*
From dbo.myfunction(@sexid,@vars...etc) f
WHERE not exists (
SELECT tTester.TesterID (don't need distinct or group.)
FROM tTester INNER JOIN tResultQue ON (tTester.TesterID = tResultQue.TesterID) INNER JOIN tGroup ON (tResultQue.GroupID = tGroup.GroupID)
WHERE tGroup.ScheduleStamp > @DD
and f.testerid = tTester.TesterID
)
AND
f.ScheduleStamp = (SELECT MAX(cor_tGroup.ScheduleStamp)
FROM tTester cor_tTester INNER JOIN tResultQue cor_tResultQue ON (cor_tTester.TesterID = cor_tResultQue.TesterID) INNER JOIN tGroup cor_tGroup ON (cor_tResultQue.GroupID = cor_tGroup.GroupID)
WHERE cor_tTester.TesterID = f.TesterID)
and
tResultQue.CallStamp = (SELECT MAX(cor_tResultQue.CallStamp)
FROM tTester cor_tTester INNER JOIN tResultQue cor_tResultQue ON (cor_tTester.TesterID = cor_tResultQue.TesterID) INNER JOIN tGroup cor_tGroup ON (cor_tResultQue.GroupID = cor_tGroup.GroupID)
WHERE cor_tTester.TesterID = f.TesterID)
order by f.LastName

To All,
I have written a database application using MS Visual C++ 6.0 and MFC. I am using the CDao classes (and using the Jet 3.5 engine/MS Access 97).
The application seems to work very well and I have many installations of the application and satisfied customers.
Now I am switching to Visual Studio .NET. I’d like to continue to use MFC and write my code using Visual C++, however, I have read that DAO is becoming obsolete and when I compile using .NET I get the ‘deprecated’ warning whenever the compiler sees a reference to DAO.
So I need to switch to a new DB technology. I liked DAO because I could directly read and write to an Access database without having to register the DB as an ODBC.
Is there any recommendation on the correct technology to use? The database/application needs to allow for multiple users from multiple computers. It is a client/server type of application and must initially read and write to an Access database. The long term plan is to go to an SQL Server so this should be taken into consideration.
Thank You

Is there any particular reason why it must read/write to Access?
Given that you've been using Access as your database server until now and you want to move to SQL Server I'd suggest MSDE which uses the SQL Server engine, but is somewhat limited (no GUI admin tools, limited numbers of users and so on). You can also link it to MS Access if necessary, and you can use SQL Server's admin tools to connect to an MSDE database.
Does this help?

I highly recommend using ADO. It almost as simple as DAO and it offers greater flexibility.
Regarding the need for ODBC, I don't believe is it required for ADO to work. But i might confuse things with DSN. Regardless, you can use Microsoft Jet to connect directly to ADO.
Its the same technology as used by .NET or even VBScript/JScript on web servers. I've learnt to use it mostly with MSDN examples. The concept seems obscure at first, but its COM+ related.

1.can i create a table from stored proc?
2.can i insert/delete/update a table from sp?
3.wots that extended sp can do that ordinary sp cannot?
NOTE: I dont have access to SQL server of any type.

Then what do you care?
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Extended sp can access non-TSQL code and therefore system resourses other than the SQL Server itself.

Then how will you know you are learning correctly?
Why now download MSDE and use that? Or if you want to learn all the GUI tools also there is also a 120 day trial you can download also.

Hi
I'm going to try to explain what i'm trying to do and if someone is able to give pointers on what i'm doing wrong i would be very grateful.
The app has one background task (service) and one configure application.
The background service loads a typed dataset from a sql server on startup and copies it to the remoting object with DataSet.Merge() wich exposes this over remoting.
settings.TrendTags = sql.GetTrendTags();
RemoteSettings.TrendTags.Merge(settings.TrendTags);
RemotingServices.Marshal(RemoteSettings, "Trend");
This seams to work ok. After Merge() both datatables count property returns the same. (2)
I then load the DataSet in the client app and copies it to a local dataset for modification
Reason for not using the remoting object directly is the inability to see properties while debugging.
settings = (SrvSettings)Activator.GetObject(typeof(SrvSettings) , "tcp://localhost:4188/Trend");
LocalSettings.TrendTags.Merge(settings.TrendTags);
Also this works ok. LocalSettings Contains the full recordset.
Then the user edits the recordset with something like.
TrendTable.TrendTagsRow tr = (TrendTable.TrendTagsRow)LocalSettings.TrendTags.TrendTags.NewRow();
tr.SomeProperty = "Something";
LocalSettings.TrendTags.TrendTags.Rows.Add(tr);
LocalSettings.TrendTags.TrendTags.Count now reports one more.
I then try to apply this change to the remoting object with
settings.TrendTags.Merge(LocalSettings.TrendTags);
I've tried some different things but DataTable, DataSet GetChanges ApplyChanges() etc...
but i cannot with merge get the added row to go into settings wich is the remoting object.
I've done the exact same thing twice before with success but this time it refuse to work.
Anyone know why?

Hey guys, what am I missing here? System.Data.OracleClient gets installed with .NET Framework 1.1, correct? If I set up a "using System.Data.OracleClient;" in my C# code, I get an error message that says "The type or namespace name 'OracleClient' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Data' (are you missing an assembly reference?)".
I looked in C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322, and yes, there is a System.Data.OracleClient.dll file. So I think I'm missing something easy... anybody come across this yet?
Oh the PC is Windows XP Pro, and I'm using Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect, with .NET framework 1.1 - the 1.0 framework has never been installed on this PC (the computer is one month new). If, inside of the VS.NET IDE, I start typing "using System.Data.", Intellisense only shows me choices of "Common, Odbc, OleDb, SqlClient, SqlTypes". OracleClient isn't on the Intellisense list, but even if I force-type it, I still get that build error.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm in a situation where my VB.NET code will know the name of a database, and can connect to it, but needs to get the mdf and ldf file names for that database. Is there a property of some ADO.NET object that will tell me the file names? Or maybe a query to run to get the file names?
Thanks
David

In the master database there is a system table called sysdatabases which gives the full path to the primary file of each database. In each database itself there are two system tables that would be useful to you the first is sysfilegroups which joins to sysfiles. It is sysfiles that actually contains the list of files for the database.
If you need more information the SQL Server books on-line should fill in all the details you need.
Does this help?

is there some way to convert a access database to a mysql ? I am not interested in expensive tools , as i can not pay for this .

The only technical thing I know about Access is that it never should have been written. Even MSDE is better than Access! To be safe, I'd export the Access database as a CSV file, manually create your schema inside MySql, and then tell MySql to import the CSV file. It's a little more work then a fancy point & click tool, but you know your data will go through perfectly.

Hi,
Take a look at this: http://solutions.mysql.com/software/?item=98[^]. It's from the MySQL website. Although the tool is shareware, you might be able to convert with the demo version. I haven't looked so I'm not sure if they disable it in the demo version.
In any case, there are tools, so if that doesn't work, you can look elsewhere on the MySQL website or on Google.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wiseman
