Construct A SelectCommand From Three VB Variables In ASP.NET 2.0
Jun 18, 2008
Dear Group,
I'm upgrading a "classic" ASP app to ASP.NET 2.0. The database is stored on a SQL Server box in-house. I'm looking to inject a bit of flexibility into the SQLDataSource SelectCommand property.
What I mean is this: depending on a selection a user makes in the form, I'd like to present a GridView object that displays data filtered by the user's selection.
So I took the original long query string from ASP and broke it in two pieces. The first piece contains the bulk of the query and it ends just after the WHERE clause. The second piece is the ORDER BY clause. I'd like to have the ability to inject an additional term at the end of the WHERE clause (using AND). That would be the filter.
For example,SELECT LastName, FirstName, InOut, TimeEntered, PhoneExt
FROM TimeClock
WHERE TimeEntered > '6/17/2008'
AND EmploymentState > ''
ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
So, in between the "AND State > '' " and the ORDER BY clause I'd like to insert something like this:AND Department = 'Production'
I'd like the SelectCommand of the SQLDataSource to look like this:SelectCommand="<%= (sql1 & " AND Department = 'Production' " & sql2) %>"
sql1 and sql2 are defined in a <script runat="server"></script> block in the page <head>. The following errors occur even if I have a single variable containing the whole SQL query string (i.e., SelectCommand="<%= sql1 %>").
When I try to run the page I get this error:Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '<'.
If I remove the quotation marks from around the SelectCommand statement I get:Parser Error Message: Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs.
What's funny about this is that the ConnectionString property of the SQLDataSource looks like this:ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:PersonnelDatabaseConnectionString %>"
No complaints from the compiler about the ConnectionString.
Any ideas? Am I simply going to be unable to construct a SelectCommand on-the-fly?
I had a table named "info" and I would like to show Lot_Id as distinct. Besides that , I would also like to show wafer_id and wafer_starttime. May I know how to construct this using select statement?
My head hurts...it might be an easy one for many people, but cant seem to figure a way to do it.Ok, I have a table with a field called Ad_Price. This field is a nvarchar one, theres many different value in it, all of them corresponding to a price. Now, what I want to do is only get the row that are not written in a good price format (like123$ is wrong, but 123.00 is good, but only value following this exemple)For exemple, if I have all these value145.876785.34654$45 to negociate1bvcaa0.01876.556the value I want to have are:654$45 to negociate1bvcaa876.556because they dont follow the format I wantso im not sure if my explication was clear enough..all in all what I want to complete is the WHERE part of my SQL instruction...what should I put in:SELECT *FROM AdsWHERE ???????thansk for taking the time to read this
I am using the following code to construct an SQL 7.0 View Column
"CASE WHEN [DailyHours] > SUM([TransAmt]) THEN 0 ELSE 1 END"
and it works great!!
However, when I try the same line in SQL 2000, I get the message "The query designer does not support the case SQL construct"
The help screen is no help as all it says is "the syntax you entered is valid but is not supported visually by Query Designer. Be sure the verify your syntax before saving."
It will not let me save, so I'm not sure what to do from here now????
I want to search an entire table for a particular keyword but i'm not sure how, if the keyword was TEST then I want to return rows where any of the fields contain TEST, THIS IS A TEST, PLEASE TEST THIS etc etc i.e. the keyword can be anywhere in the fields value
I believe I need to use the LIKE clause but i'm not sure how.
Hi,I have three dropdown lists branch, month & year. Based on these I need to retrieve data in my Datagrid.I have written the following SQL statement & code in my Refreshgrid(): SqlCmd.CommandText = " SELECT * " SqlCmd.CommandText += " FROM HSECData" SqlCmd.CommandText += " where branchno=" &Branchno SqlCmd.CommandText += " And yearno=" &YearNo SqlCmd.CommandText += " And monthno=" &monthNoThis is working fine, initially the datagrid is empty and then displays data when I select say, branch- Melbourne, Year-2005, Month-October and other exisiting combinations.The problem I am stuck at is when the page loads, initially I want all the data to be displayed in datagrid, i.e. for 'All' branches, 'All' years and 'All' months and then when I select combinations of these dropwdown lists as above the data should be filtered and displayed in those selected combinations. but as of now I get and empty datagrid when I select 'All' from these 3 drop down lists or when the page opens the first time.Can someone kindly guide me with the correct SQL cinstruct to achieve both the requirements?Thanks,Aartee.P.S. I am sorry if I have posted this question in a wrong category in the forum, I was unsure whether I should post it in Datagrid category or SQL server category, I thought this was my best bet.My aplogies.
I need to transmit data from a ##table to an .xls file. The data is exported only for the first time. However, after a while the table will be dropped by SQL Server 2005 automatically.
I'm using Execute SQL Task to check for the existence of an ##Table. And, if does not exists the ##table should be created or something like the example below.
Ex: IF NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM ##StateProvince )
SELECT * INTO ##StateProvince FROM Person.StateProvince GO
To keep the session of the ## Table active, but the following error is thrown :
The NOT SQL construct or statement is not supported.
Let say I have 6 tables. I want to autogenerate the PK for each table and that is unique for each table and cant be duplicated on other tables. Let say I have table with PK of 1, so table2 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 1. If table2 have a PK of 2, table1, table3 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 2. Same for others. Identity will not be appropriate. Will 'uniqueidentifier' data type suffice? How bout guid? Or what must be my datatype? Or what will I do to implement this? Any links? Thanks
I am working with a form that I wish to construct a dynamic query from the results of. The forum has a date range and two radio buttons. Each radio button enables a list of items that can be clicked. So for example, if we assume the question,
"What is your favorite food, and what toppings do you like on it?" where the radio buttons are foods, the list boxes are toppings. Assuming the user can choose a Hamburger or a Salad with generic toppings, their choices are as such:
They can choose a Hamburger, with every topping They can choose a Hamburger with a single topping. They can choose a Hamburger with multiple toppings. They can choose a Salad with the same combinations as above. They cannot choose both a Hamburger and a Salad - mutually exclusive items.
Then, I wish to construct a query that, based on the conditions above, retrieves information relavent to their criteria, such a the number of food items to choose from, their price, etc. - basic information. What is the most efficient way to do this? Should I write a stored procedure with numerous conditionals and all available parameters, constructing the sproc as such:
BEGIN DECLARE @query varchar(300) SET @query = 'SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ' + @FoodType + ') '
IF @FoodType = 'Hamburger' SET @query = @query + 'FROM Hamburgers '
ELSE SET @query = @query + 'FROM Salads '
IF @toppings <> 'ALL'
SET @query = @query ' WHERE Toppings = ' + @toppings
EXEC (@query)
Apologies of this syntax is incorrect, but you get the general idea. Of course, this is a small example - in reality, I would have 5-10 conditional requirements Or, should I generate a stored procedure (or simple query) for each operation? For example, assuming each is a stored procedure:
GetHamburgers <-- would get Hamburgers with all toppings GetHamburgersWithToppings GetSalads GetSaladsWithToppings
What is the best method for what I wish to achieve? What is fastest? Is there a better way than I have listed? Thank you.
Again, this is a small example, but I hope someone can help.

I can parse and preview it successfully in OLE DB Source Editor but i can't see any columns in columns mapping. So when i click on Build Query in OLE DB Source Editor i get this error message. Also Its working fine in Management Studio so don't know what's the problem.
Hi, All I'm using Gridview and SqlDataSource to dynamically display the contents in different tables, as followed: <% dataSource.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionString"]; dataSource.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM " + tableName; gridView.DataBind(); dataSource.UpdateCommand = "";%> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dataSource" runat="server"></asp:SqlDataSource><asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" DataSourceID="dataSource" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateEditButton="True" BorderColor="Silver" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" PageSize="20" DataKeyNames="ID" OnRowDataBound="tableGridView_RowDataBound"> <HeaderStyle BackColor="#C0C0FF" /> <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#C0FFC0" /></asp:GridView> The datasource take the "tableName" as argument to determine which table to display. My problem is I can't figure out a way to programmatically construct the UpdataCommand for the SqlDataSource. I try to get the field names from the HeaderRow, but all the cells are empty in this row. Does anyone know what causes the problem or how to construct the UpdateCommand properly. Thanks!
Hi,In the past I build up the query string within VB.NET page and easy to add the filtering statements in the SQL statement since it is just a string. For example, if user selected an option then include it in the filter, otherwise, just return all rows from table:Codes in ASPX.VB: Dim SQL as String="SELECT * From Table1" IF UserOption <> Null then SQL = SQL & " WHERE Column1=" UserOption" End ifNow, since I have a complicated page which need to use Stored Procedure to manapulate a temporary table before the final result. But I found when I want to add some user options similar to above, I found I don't know how to do it in Stored Procedure. In the Stored Procedure Property screen, I can't insert a IF..THEN statement within a SELECT statement. Seems I can only check the user option first and then determine the SELECT statement to use. That is: IF UserOption THEN SELECT statement 1 ELSE SELECT statement 2.But it is impossible for me to do this way since I'm not only one user option on the page. User usually can have several filters/selections on his screen. So if check which user option(s) are selected and write a static SELECT statement for it, I will have to program a complicated store procedure to cater all combinations for all user options (where some options may be null).Hope you can understanding what my mean and give me advices.Regards,Raymond
I am trying to use a Pivot T-SQL statement in the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard in Visual Studio 2005. I get the error message "The Pivot SQL construct or statement is not supported". Then it executes the SQL statement as if there were no error. Unfortunately, it will not create the table adapter because of the error. Below is the T-SQL statement I am using.
SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, custlastname, [1001] AS Dept01, [1002] AS Dept02, [1003] AS Dept03, [1004] AS Dept04, [1005] AS Dept05, [1006] AS Dept06, [1007] AS Dept07, [1008] AS Dept08, [1009] AS Dept09, [1010] AS Dept10, [1011] AS Dept11, [1012] AS Dept12 FROM
(SELECT Orders.Ordernumber, Orders.OrderDate, Customer.custlastname, DeptID, OrderDetail.DetailAmount FROM OrderDetails od JOIN Orders ON Orders.OrderNumber = od.OrderNumber JOIN Customer ON Orders.CustomerID = Customer.CustID WHERE (DATEPART([Year], OrderDate) = '2006')) p
PIVOT (SUM(OrderDetailAmount) FOR DeptID IN ([1001], [1002], [1003], [1004], [1005], [1006], [1007], [1008], [1009], [1010], [1011], [1012])) AS pvt ORDER BY OrderNumber
The statement works fine in Management Studio so I know the syntax is correct.
Hi all, I want to do something like this, but I cannot get it working: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AFS_WAWI_DBConnectionString1 %>"<%If Session("my") = "123" thenSelectCommand="SELECT [nr1] FROM [Artikel]"ElseSelectCommand="SELECT [nr2] FROM [Artikel]"End if %></asp:SqlDataSource> Is that possible and how can I manage that? Thanks for your answers, Chris.
I am currently trying to import following Excel Datasheet into my SQL 2005 Database with SSIS:
Column: Created For example cells: 18.03.2008 17:47:43
So now I want to get the time, the year, the month and the day seperately out of this column for a later OLAP Analysis.
I created a Data Flow Task, where I imported the Excel source and set the SQL database as target. But now I don't know really how to work with the "Data Conversion" where to extract the dates. In Excel this is just a "customized" cell.
Here is an example of what I am exactly doing!! CREATE VIEW NamesAS SELECT ID, fName, lName FROM Table1 UNION ALL SELECT id, FirstName, LastName FROM TABLE2. On Executing this...I'm getting the following error.
The Query Designer does not support the UNION SQL construct:
Hi All! Could You comment the next situation:I'm configuring my TableAdapter just like Scott Mitchell does in his tutorialhttp://www.asp.net/learn/data-access/tutorial-70-vb.aspxThe only principal difference is that I need Insert/update and deletemethods to be generated (His aim is only SELECT).I'm also using analytic function (ROW_NUMBER) and I'm also gettinwarning “The OVER SQL construct or statement is not supported.� Yousay then that it could be ignored. But, in this case statements tomodify data (insert/update and delete) aren't being generated, thoughafter warning SQL command is executed without errors. So, the question is obvious - why does this warning occur and how mustI perform configuration of TableAdapter based on SQL query withanalytic function?
Hi All, Just needed an insight into the IF-ELSE construct w.r.t its implementation in SSIS or a similar methodology that could be adopted in SSIS while executing a Package.
Scenario : I want to Start with importing data from Different sources to SQL Server Destination. For Which, i define 3 different Data Flow Tasks each involved in importing data from an external source to SQL Server Destination.
1] Text File Inbound Task : Source - Flat File Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest. 2] Excel Inbound Task : Source - Excel Data Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest. 3] Xml Inbound Task : Source - XML Data Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest
Finally i want to execute the package with an IF-ELSE Scenario which will Check for the external Source being :
sorry to b a pest again! Before I made the decision to change the DB used in my app from SQL Server Express to SSCE, I had no problems with constructing a SELECT statement as laid out in the Title.
Basically, I have 2 tables with a one-many relationship between them. In the Parent table, I had a SQL Statement as follows:
SELECT DeptID, DeptName,
(SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(Active) FROM Documents WHERE (Documents.DeptID = Dept.DeptID) AND (Documents.Active = 'True') AS CountOfActive FROM Dept
Now in SSCE 3.1, I get an "Unable to parse query" error message when I construct the same SQL statement in my dataset designer.
My problem (excuse me for being a novice) is that whenever the query becomes complex in the @whereclause (and it does) it cant exceed the character limit of a nvarchar. Now if someone could shed some ligfht on this for me I would be incredibly grateful. I have tried doing the exec(@var1 + @var2) but this did not seem to work.
I have included the stored procedure below.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchTenderMultiRegions] ( @whereclause nVarChar(MAX), --4000 chars @PageIndex int, @PageSize int ) AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;DECLARE @sql nvarChar(MAX)
SET @sql= 'SELECT * FROM (SELECT DISTINCT TOP (' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10),(@PageIndex*@PageSize)) SET @sql= @sql + ') ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Tenders.ID DESC)AS Row,
Tenders.ID,Tenders.Title,Address.Suburb,Tenders.ClosingDateTime,Tenders.IsApproved,Tenders.TendersSourceID, Tenders.SourceDate, UserTracking.CreateUserID,UserTracking.CreateDateTime FROM Tenders LEFT JOIN TenderContact ON Tenders.ID = TenderContact.TendersID LEFT JOIN TenderCategory ON Tenders.ID = TenderCategory.TendersID LEFT JOIN TenderRegion ON Tenders.ID = TenderRegion.TendersID LEFT JOIN RegionStateCountry ON TenderRegion.RegionStateCountryID = RegionStateCountry.ID LEFT JOIN Address ON Tenders.ID = Address.TendersID LEFT JOIN UserTracking ON Tenders.ID = UserTracking.TendersID WHERE '
SET @sql= @sql + @whereclause SET @sql = @sql + ') as TenderSearchEntries WHERE Row between ('

Please help, i am really really struggling for a logic to handle 100's of reports we have via button click from asp.net webform. in the button click i am constructing the url : ************************************************************************************************************** http://localhost/reportserver?/MyReports/StatusReport&UserID=1&ContractID=1&subcode=null *************************************************************************************************************
I have a table would like to maintain the parameters required for the chosen report: when the user chooses from list box on the webform for StatusReport, immedeately it fetches the parameters related to Statusreport and gets everything which is stored with a space in between for each parameter, for this report i have 3 parameters: UserID ContractID subcode
now how can i construct the string based on the above parameters , i am using vb.net as code behind for my webform(asp.net)
please any ideas will help me achieve the logic. please help thank you all very much.

Do you guy's know if there is an upper limit on the length of the string that can go into the selectcommand of the sqldatasource? I'm getting strange behavior from the sqldatasource. I'm dynamically generating select strings in the business layer and then programmatically using them in a sqldatasource up in the website. I sometimes get really large select statements (whole pages of joins) and was wondering if there was a character limit to the selectcommand property.
Hi, I use the Count function to get the total from my SelectCommand. However, I need to get my selectcommands dynamically, so is there a way of writing like this somehow: "SELECT COUNT(1) FROM (MypagesSqlDataSource.SelectCommand) Thanks in advance, Pettrer
