Suppose I have an MS access database with query1 and query2. Query2 uses
query1 something like this:
Select table.* from (table left join query1 on field1=field2)
Now I want to make a change in query1 to change the behaviour of query2. But
this cannot be done in a live environment because I have to shut down the
application, make the change in the database and start the application
again. What I can do is make a query 3 in my application (instead of in the
database) that is initially does the same as query2 like this:
Select table.* from (table left join -->some SQL code to embed query1<-- on
field1=field2)
Once I know how to do this, I can change the "embedded" sql code to my
needs.
Question is: how do I "embed" SQL code in another statement?
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
hiI need to write a stored procedure that takes input parameters,andaccording to these parameters the retrieved fields in a selectstatement are chosen.what i need to know is how to make the fields of the select statementconditional,taking in consideration that it is more than one fieldaddedfor exampleSQLStmt="select"if param1 thenSQLStmt=SQLStmt+ field1end ifif param2 thenSQLStmt=SQLStmt+ field2end if
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810 8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760 22810
Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.
I've have a need with SQL Server 2005 (so I've no MERGE statement), I have to merge 2 tables, the target table has 10 fields, the first 4 are the clustered index and primary key, the source table has the same fields and index.Since I can't use the MERGE statement (I'm in SQL 2005) I have to make a double step operation, and INSERT and an UPDATE, I can't figure how to design the WHERE condition for the insert statement.
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END

I am using ASP.NET 2.0, and am attempting to write some code to connect to the database and query a data table. The compiler is not recognizing my SqlConnection statement. It does recognize other commands. And just to make sure, I created other sql objects such as ObjectDataSource and SqlDataSource. The compiler does not find a problem with that code. Basically the compiler is telling me that I am missing a "using" directive. The compiler is wrong though, because I am including the statement "usingSystemData" Can someone please take a look at my code below and to see if you notice what the problem might be? Note that I numbered the lines of code below. Note that I also tried putting lines 3 trhough 6 before line 2(The page directive) but that did not fix the problem The compiler still gives me the same compiler message. Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request.Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SqlConnection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)Source Error: Line 21: SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=password;database=master;"); 1 <asp:sqldatasource runat="server"></asp:sqldatasource> 2 <%@ Page Language="C#"%> 3 using System; 4 using System.Data; 5 using System.Collections; 6 using System.Data.SqlClient; 7 8 <script runat=server> 9 10 protected void Page_Load(object o, EventArgs e) 11 { 12 ObjectDataSource dsa; // This works no problems from the compiler here 13 SqlDataSource ds; // This works no problems from the compiler 14 15 if (IsPostBack) 16 { 17 if (AuthenticateUser(txtUsername.Text,txtPassword.Text)) 18 { 19 instructions.Text = "Congratulations, your authenticated!"; 20 instructions.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; 21 SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=password;database=master;"); 22 String sqlStmt = "Select UserName from LogIn where UserName='" + txtUsername.Text + "' and password='" + sHashedPassword + "'"; 23 } 24 else 25 { 26 instructions.Text = "Please try again!"; 27 instructions.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; 28 } 29 } 30 31 } 32 33 bool AuthenticateUser(string username, string password) 34 { 35 // Authentication code goes here 36 37 }
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.

Can some one point me in the right direction in how to construct my SQL query within my cursor?
I Have got a cursor which i am using to iterate through a table, What i am trying to do is in my statement(used to open the cursor) is compare 2 tables (the one which my cursor is iterating) to see if there is a matching row in the other table (using both tables ID's Like So:
SELECT column_List FROM Table1 WHERE Table1_id = Table2_id
so for each row my cursor checks if there is a corresponding match in table2... but i would like to write to an error log
and do other statements if there is no match
how do i add this condition to my statement either using an if...else statement proceeding to the next row?
here is the statment i attempted to write:
SELECT column_List FROM table1 WHERE Table1_id = Table2.id
now i want to incoporate the statements below into the statement above as a condition when table1.id <> table2.id
IF table1.id <> table2.id
BEGIN SET @DebugMessage = 'data not live.' RAISERROR (@DebugMessage, 16, 1) WITH LOG END
essentially what i am trying to sayin my statement is:
go to the first row
check if it has a match in table 2,
if there is no match execute a number of statements such as error loging e.t.c
go to the next row
repeat the previous statements
...i also looked through some Case...When statements am just not sure how to put in the condition
I have a rather large DB that is used ONLY for lookups. I want to develop a componet that will lookup in that database, and then I want to be able to distribute that component. My obstical is that I do not want the person who gets the component to have any access to the database... here is my question. Is there a way to embed the database (or even an xml file) into the DLL in order to keep it from prying eyes?

Hi, I have a report which includes all the customer data. each customer have a separate page based on their id. For example, the report is 10 pages and each page is data for one customer. Now we need to insert the instruction on the second page of each customer report. that means we need to insert 10 instructions on the above report so each customer will get one page of data and one page of instruction. this instruction is a pdf/word file, and it is big so it is hard for us to redesign it in the report. We are thinking to embed the pdf/word file into the report, but looks to me, the report only can embed the the image. If we make that pdf file as image, the report will be very large and hard tto deploy. Can someone help me with this? thanks in advance.
I'm trying to see if there is a way to embed SSRS reports into a Powerpoint Presentation (or build a PP Presentation using multiple SSRS reports as the slides)? I have a requirement to have a presentation available whose content is dynamic based upon the customer our marketing folks are going to visit that particular day. The idea is they would access this presentation from IIS or a shared folder
Still new to SSRS (I'm a convert from Cognos / Hyperion), so if this is a real simple question go easy on me! ;-)
Im trying to figure out if there is a way to embed an ssis package into a c# winform?
I know that I can pass variables to a package and write the entire package out programatically, but im curious if there is a way to add the dtsx as an assembly or something. OR is there any tool that would take the ssis package and spit out its equivalent in code?
I have seen in the licence of SNAC that it is a redistribuable piece of software. That's fine to me
However, when we install the MSI file, it places dll files into <windir>system32. Our policy, when possible, is to install everything we need into the install dir of our software (to work with validated sub-systems).
Is it possible to parametrize the installation of SNAC for the place where files are written, or to install the files ourselves as part of our distribution ?
