i am trying to pull from my mySQL database the highest ocurring value of one field.
example:
name / value
peter / 6
alex / 7
ethan /5
thomas / 6
brett / 7
ryan / 6
albert / 6
if this was a table, i need to get "6"
I am fairly familiar with asp, but with non-traditional training.
I'm creating a access database for 'events'. I have created a field for 'date of event', the asp then checks if this date has lapsed, if so it doen't show the event. All works fine.The only problem is how do I manage dates that re-occur ? i.e every tuesday
or every 1st tuesay of the month.
The re-occuring event would have some general blurb that applies to all the dates, but on some occations I may need to add new unique info for forthcoming events. ie special guest. How would I design the dtatabase structure and asp code around this senario ?
I have a couple pages that submits a form to an oracle database however and then I display a case number after the form is submitted. However, the records are not always being inserted at the end of the database. For example if I look at the case numbers in the database they are in this order: Code:
View Replies View RelatedWhat is a faster/better coding practice?
Method 1:
Code:
Sub myFunction(byRef x)
x = x + 1 ' do something with x
End Sub
x = 7
myFunction(x)
response.write x ' shows 8
Method 2:
Code:
Function myFunction(x)
myFunction = x + 1 ' do something with x
End Function
x = 7
response.write myFunction(x) ' shows 8
Also discuss considerations when there are more than one variables that need to be changed.
How do you return the highest value in a recordset of maybe 100 records?Is it necessary to run 2 recordsets?I was hoping it was as simple as Max([Price]), but no luck.
View Replies View RelatedI've got a database that has 5 numeric values for each record. I'm trying to figure out how to have the records sorted alphabetically, but highlight the highest value in the table for each column. So in other words, the table shows up with one record in each row, with a total of 6 columns (the name plus 5 columns). I want the highest value in each column to be emphasized.
So the final product would end up looking like the code at the bottom of this message.
I've pulled the records from the Access database and am able to sort them alphabetically and get the table to appear. What I was thinking is that at the top I'd define variables that correspond to the highest record for each column. Then in the table code I'd set the colour of each cell using an 'if then'.
So I have 3 specific questions:
- Is that the best way to do it? I don't want the page to take 20 minutes to load because I'm overloading the server.
- how would you set the variables at the top of the page?
- how would you write the if then in the middle of the table to change the background colour of the cell if that value (or values, in case there's a tie) is the highest of all the records? Code:
I'm so full of questions these days. I've got a hidden input in a form that I want to be set to 1 more than the highest number in the colum "userid" of my table "users" in my database.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Code:
<%
dim userid
userid = MaxNumberInDB + 1
%>
<input name="userid" type="hidden" value="<%=userid%>" />
Like that, but how would you find the "MaxNumberInDB" ?
I have multiple fields (BLM, WHM, RNG, MNK) each with a numeric value. How can I search across these fields for each record and find the highest number.
Example:
Name BLM WHM RNG MNK
----------------------------------
Jason 19 52 33 18
What I want it to do is return and display Jason WHM 52
And I want to do this for every record in the table.

I've created a DLL file that enables you to validate accounts and send emails through the MS Exchange server within the Intranet. This dll can be used from within VB, VBA, VBScript and also ASP VBScript. I'm using it in an ASP page that I've created. The DLL has a "SEND" function that will return a string value containing all the invalid accounts seperated by a semi-colon. A sample of the returning string value would look like, "InvalidAcct1;InvalidAcct2;InvalidAcct3". The DLL works like it is suppose to when used in an ASP, but it will not return the string value. I know the DLL works fine because it returns it when used in a regular VBScript or VB program.Is IIS preventing the string from being returned?
View Replies View RelatedI am using a windows 2000 server with IISLockdown and ISAPI_Rewrite installed on it. I have 2 websites A & B. ASP pages on A are working properly, but when placed one B they return 404 error. All other pages such as txt, html, asp.net work fine on B. Both websites have the same configuration, and use the same ISAPI filters.
A sample cade the is not working is, file name test.asp:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>

Do you know what needs to be done to fix that?
There are two pages main.asp and phonebook.asp.In the main.asp, there is a textfield, where the phone number will be inserted into it. Next to the textfield, there is an icon that when clicked takes you to the phonebook.asp page.
In the phonebook.asp page, there is a list of the telephone numbers and next to them there is a radiobutton. When one of the radiobuttons is chosen (the telephone number is chosen), the number (value) needs to be inserted in the textfield (main.asp page).How may i do this processing? Preferably i need to use asp together with vbscript or even javascipt.

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?

I've got a site with PayPal and Google Checkout payment options. The checkout page formats two HTML forms, containing bespoke cart code - one posts to PayPal, the other to Google Checkout.When an order is placed, it needs to be updated back on my site, so that the order is marked as 'paid' in the database. When this is done with PayPal, I just provide a hidden field in the form called 'invoice' containing my id number for that transaction. This is returned in my IPN, and I update the database accordingly. However, I can't find a similar field in Google. Their example code all seems to be in XML and is WAAAAAAAAY more complicated than I need it to be. I just need to send a value with my cart code to Google Checkout, and have that value returned after the transaction has completed.
I've set up Google Callback, and the page is being called and the order is being written to my google log txt file, I just need this to contain my order id number for the transaction so I can just add the logic to update the database based on this id number.
I have a field that is stored in SQL Server in date/time format. On one
page, I only need the date to display. I am able to do this by saying:
DateValue(strLastModified)

Instead, I would like to see:
05/10/04, but I am not sure how to do this.

View Replies View RelatedI have written some ASP code that selects some records from a SQL database according to a criteria, if no information is found in the database then it sees there is an End Of File in the object record set and prints the line below:
<%if objRecordset.EOF then Response.Write("No information was found for the record you have entered") %>
My problem is that if no records are found it still tries to print the information that it is looking for and cannot find and thus throws an exception. The code for that is below:
<Table Border="1" BGCOLOR="white">
<% Response.Write "<TR><TD>The date for that record is " & objRecordset("DateTime") & "<br></TD></TR>" %>
I was wondering if anybody could advise me how to return just 100 rows from a database query. In Cold Fusion I'd use the maxrows function, but not sure how to do in ASP (or can I do it in just SQL?). My code is thus :
' Retrieve last 100 records. Query then run through the query building a string
Set objRetrieve = objConn.Execute("SELECT Players_ID, Players_Name, Players_Score FROM Players ORDER BY Players_Score DESC")
I'm back with the same code, which works fine, except for when i ad the block of code that i noted...i get the error message:
ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.
/test/testbasket.asp, line 72
which is referring to the strSurvID=adoRSWEBtest4(0)
i know that the query above that is supplying webtest4 with its where check is returning a value. when i take out the noted block of code, the page works fine, and emails all information, including the value that is being checked for in webtest4. Code:
I was under the impression (according to all the tutorials) that a Sub differs from a Function in that it doesn't return a value. Therefore I interpret this as meaning if a function is initialised at the top of a page and called at the bottom the result won't be returned to the place it was called i.e. the bottom of the page.
This clearly isn't right though as both Functions and Subs return a value to where they are call from.I want to display the results of a task in a position on the page that is before the task has been carried out.
Therefore if I create a Sub where I want the result to be displayed I assumed that when I call the Sub it would display the results where I wanted i.e. above the task. This isn't happening?
i have a string that will change and i just want to return the first charecter, how do i do this?
