SQL Commands Request From A Novice

Oct 2, 2007

Hello,

I'm running a (phpBB) forum which uses a MYSQL data base - I can access the database via a webpage through my ISP and it lets me run short scripts (through a web interface). I need to do the following (shown in psuedo code below). I would be eternally grateful if someone could translate it into pure SQL commands for me to paste into my SQL quiery input field on the web page I'm using to access my database. (I'm a complete SQL novice)

=====================
/* I need to be sure these commands will do nothing if 'jeff' does not exist in the user table */

/* extract the id value for the user called 'jeff' from the users table */
user = GET id FROM users WHERE username = "jeff"

/* remove all entries from the forums_watch and topics_watch tables that contain Jeff's userID */
REMOVE ALL ENTRIES WHERE userID = user

notify = 0;

/* insert many entries into the topics_watch table, one for each topic that exists in the topic table */
arrayOfTopicIDs = GET ALL id FROM topics
FOR EACH current_Topic IN arrayOfTopicIDs {
INSERT INTO topics_watch
(topic_id, user_id, notify_status)
values (current_Topic, user, notify)
}

/* insert many entries for jeff into the forums_watch table, one entry for each forum that exists in the forum table */
arrayOfForumIDs = GET ALL id FROM forums
FOR each current_Forum in arrayOfTopicIDs {
INSERT INTO forums_watch
(topic_id, user_id, notify_status)
values (current_Forum, user, notify)
}

=====================

I'm going to implement this with php and MYSQL as a mod for my forum application (phpBB) - but I could really do with a way of doing this immediately with pure SQL commands as a quick and dirty one shot paste into the input field of the MYSQL database web interface until I get the php mod going.

Can this be done using only SQL commands without tedious repetition?

Best Regards,

Alan

What Is Going On Here? SQL Commands And ODBC Commands Aren't Compatible

Oct 1, 2004

I'm building a simple webform, except Visual Studio and my service provider have combined to drive me nutty.

First, I MUST use an ODBC connection to my remote SQL Server do to some unknown configuartion problem. I've been playing with Visual Studio for only a month, so normally when something goes wrong I can go look in the mirror and find the culprit. This is different. I've got a totally functional web form with a SQL Connection, but when I try to change it to an ODBC Connection, I get the following error.

An OdbcParameter with ParameterName '@CertHolder' is not contained by this OdbcParameterCollection

My coding is fine because I stole it straight from the walkthrough and it works. But the specifications that Visual Studio provide are quite suspect. Please note the failure to include some key "@" signs.

Novice Needs Some Help With Foreign Keys

Sep 4, 2005

Hey all - been knocking my head on this on for awhile - perhaps someone could shed a little light.
I have 2 tables that I want to link:
Table 1:
UserID - Primary key
First Name
Last name
AuditionID - FK

Table 2:
AuditionID - PK
Description
Sing
instrument

So - I have a web form that collects the information for both tables and then insets the collected data. But, the AuditionID value in Table1 does not update. Now, I assume I am incorrect in thinking the AuditionID in Table1 will be automagically updated when Table2 creates it's key...?
If that is indeed the case, how do you update 2 tables and maintain a foreign key relationship?

I hope I am being clear enough - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all

Novice Seeking Advice With SQL 2000

Aug 10, 2007

Hello,
 I am asking a question i have seen many threads on, but I am looking for an idiot's guide on how to convert my SQL 2005 database to SQL 2000 so i can get it to run on my web hosting server. I'm very new to asp.net , but have ahd years of experience in normal HTML and a year or two in the old ASP.
 I was advised to learn ASP.Net 2.0 and have found it nothing but brilliant. The intergration with SQL 2005 made it a lot quicker to link up a database than using Access. Unfortunatly my hosting company is a little behind and still using SQL 2000. There isn't mch databse intergration (a few aplication forms) so I dont mind re-writing the whole database but I dont know how to set Visual web developer up with a SQL 2000 Database. I have also read from various other forums that you can convert a databse to 2000 by doing something with the scripts, but the explaination is too complicated for me to follow.
 Is there anyone out there who wouldn't mind going over some old ground and explain this all in simple terms? Im using 'SQL Server Managment Studio Express' (although i dont know how to use it) and 'Microsoft visual web developer 2005 express edition' .
 Thanks for reading this

Novice Question. This Should Take About 5 Seconds For A DB Professional.

Jun 4, 2007

I'm sure this problem borders on retarded for most readers of this form, but here it is:

I have table with contest and another table with user ratings on those contests.

Contests: ContestID, CreatorUserID, Title
Ratings: ContestID, UserID, Rating

If I

SELECT Contests.*, Ratings.*
FROM Contests INNER JOIN Ratings ON Contests.ContestID = Ratings.ContestID
WHERE (Ratings.UserID = '1')

This only returns the contests that User 1 has rated. But I need all contests. If the user hasn't rated one, I want the result set to show Rating = NULL. The problem is that if a user hasn't rated a contest, that ContestID does not exist in the Ratings table.

Can someone please show me how to solve this?

Thanks!
Gavin

Novice Question Regarding Client Notifications From A Server

Jul 20, 2005

What is the common mechanism (if any) to make the server notify aclient when some condition is met (say, upon completion of asql-transaction)? The only way to implement this feature I am aware ofnow is to set up a timer and query the server every once in a whilebut surely this technique isn't much good.

Database Query... Novice Alert...No Idea Where To Turn...

Dec 18, 2006

Hello,

I'm creating a website for a student organization at my university. Basically, I have an Excel file with a list of contacts that the members of our organization need to be able to search on our website.

The only field that I need our members to be able to search is "contact location." So for example, a member might want to know if our organization has any contacts in Spain, so the member would type "spain" into the "contact location search" field" and would get results.

I really don't known where to turn... I need the easiest thing that would be manageable for a novice. It doesn't need to be an intense search function; just something to make the website functional (so it obviously needs to be uploadable to a server; the server has PHP capability...no idea if that has any relevance). I've been searching around all day and have come across potentials like PHP, SQL, XML, etc. but have no idea which way to turn... I have Office and Adobe Studio programs at my disposal.

Thank you all-powerful and all-knowing web gods! I owe you my deepest gratitude!

SQL Commands Disappearing!?!?!?!

Nov 7, 2001

I am experiencing a situation where I issue a lengthy SQL command to MS SQL Server 7.0 through MTS and it "disappears" - no errors or recordsets are returned. The command is "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE LASTNAME LIKE 'SMITH%'". When I issue this command from SQL Query Analyzer it takes 27 seconds to return 87 rows. When I issue this exact same command through MTS it does not return at all.

I've used the SQL Profiler to analyze the requests. It shows the commands from MTS starting but they never stop (or at least the profiler never reports them as stopping). The same commands coming from Query Analyzer are reported as starting and stopping without fail.

Here's a twist: I can issue less demanding commands (ie, one that doesn't take so long to process) through MTS and they come back fine. For example, when a user logs into my application, I use an SQL statement to verify the user name and password and status the user as logged in. This is routed through MTS and it comes back fine in less than a second. Same application, same PC, same MTS and SQL server, same SQL database. The only difference is that the CUSTOMERS table has over 800,000 records and the USERS table has only 5 records.

PLEASE HELP!

Using The DBCC Commands

Jul 26, 2004

Hi,

I am very new to sql server and I have been reading up on the dbcc commands. For instance, DBCC SHOWCONTIG where do I execute this command? I went into the cmd prompt and opened osql and typed:
1> DBCC SHOWCONTIG
2> GO

This gives me the information for what I assume is the master database. But, how do I use this command under the other databases?

Also, I have been trying to learn how to determine when to do index maintenance by using the index tuning wizard. But, I don't know what a workload is. Can someone point me in the right direction or give me some information about this topic.

Thanks,
Laura

Normalizing Using Sql Commands

Aug 28, 2006

Hi

Please can someone point me in the direction, i built a very badly designed database consisting of only one huge table when i first started databases, since learning about normalization i have designed and set up a new database which consists of many more tables instead of just the one. My question is where do i start in transfering the data from the old single tabled database to my new multi-tabled database?

I have MS SQL server 2005 managment studio if that helps, but want to transfer around 200,000 rows of data into the new database. Both new and old databases are on the same server.

thanks in advance

How can I prevent this so that only all commands or nothing is executed on the database?

Questions On SQL Join Commands

Mar 29, 2008

Please forgive me if my questions seem very simple. I'm trying to pick up vb.net, asp.net, and SQL all at the same time, and while making progress in some areas I'm finding other questions I have harder to figure out where to look for answers.
 First question - if I want to join 2 tables do the fields I'm joining on have to have the same name? I know they have to be of the same type, but does the name itself matter? For instance in this line of code I try to join forums
objdataadapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "select * from msg_forums" & "JOIN users ON msg_forums.forum_moderators = users.user_ID"
Second question nagging at me, since I specify the table <msg_forums and users> before the field names <forum_moderators and user_ID> does it matter which one comes first? See, my primary table in this line is msg_forums, so do I have to specify it's field first, or does that even matter (or do I have it backwards and need to specify the other one first)?
 Last question, and of course the root of what's caused me to wonder about all of this. I'm getting an error similar to some of what I found in the forums, but it's slightly different in that it says there is a problem near "OR". As far as I can tell I've written this correctly, and so, I'm stumped. Here is the error followed by the code. Thanks a bunch for any assistance anyone offers. :-) Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ON'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
