I have a table with data in it. Now I want to change the Data Type from int to varchar. Is there anyway to do this because I don't want to delete all the data and re-enter it. That seems to be the only way I can see to change the data type. I would appreciate some help. thanks.

Is theyr an Graphical edit interface for the MSDE 2000 A database ? Windows based would be best.
Tnx for the answer.

I read on this forum that it is possible to move a device by:
Update the sysdevices table to point to the new location (ex: D:SQLTESTDB.DAT)
Stop the SQL Server
Physically move the file to the new location
Restart the SQL Server.
How can I update sysdevices table?
Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
Any help/ideas would be massively appreciated !!
Many thanks

I need to edit a column (PK - GUID) from "Row is GUID = False) to (Row is GUID = True). I get a DLL internal error.
I hate to drop the table & recreate from scratch...wish you could edit in SSMSE.
Also, I used sync services to create the SDF, you would think that it would be the same as the MDF (just a gripe...sorry )

I have a database with tables that are used for various front-ends, Access 97 and ASP. All of a sudden, my "Stores" table will not let me add, edit, delete, insert records. I checked security permissions everywhere and cannot figure out why this is happening. Is there something linked to this that might be running a process that might be causing this?
TIA,

Hi guys,
I need provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so that
they can edit the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page
2. Creating a Link Table
I thought I could it do it though a Data Access Page but I was only able to see the data but not edit it. But, I
know there is a way of doing this. Please throw some light on this topic.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi!I am able to add records to my SQL 2005 database using bound forms in myAccess application, but if I try to edit any records (not only the newrecords I create) using the same bound forms, I receive a write conflict.For the record, I am currently the only user of this application and my SQLServer database has only one userID. I used this userID to create all ofthe objects in the database and to connect to the database from Access. Thedata sources for the bound forms are linked tables, the record source typeis set to "Dynaset" and the record locks are set to "No Locks". "Opendatabases using record-level locking" is checked.The write error says that another user has changed the current record sinceit was opened (since I'm currently the only user this isn't possible) andasks me to copy my changes to the clipboard or drop the changes.Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHI all,
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
Thanks,

Hi everyone, this is is my first post, so please reply and help.
I'm working on a project right now that uses asp 2.0 and SQL server 2005 express edition. This is a general idea of the project. In our company some of us receive ECO notifications (engineering change orders) for our products and we need to implement these to the test scripts that are on the production floor. So the project is about entering the new ECO into a database which will send an automatic notification to our test team. When they receive the notification they will have to sign in to the website and introduce their login and password to sign off the ECO (Following some checkpoints already defined by me, for example, Area ready, Test script modification necessary, new firmware introduction, comments, etc...) but I also need to record WHO and WHEN sign that ECO. We have 3 different test areas in our factory: Electrical, Functional and Systems, so all THREE areas must be signed off in order to the ECO go to a IMPLEMENTED state (at this point i need to send a new email saying that the eco has been implemented in all three areas).
So far I've completed the following things:
-users validation (logins, areas)
-New custom entry form for the ECOs and automatic email notification (part of what I did is described below). Dim ECODataSource As New SqlDataSource()ECODataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECO_ICSConnectionString1").ToString()
ECODataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure
ECODataSource.InsertCommand = "EcoNew"
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoNumber", EcoNumberTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoDescription", EcoDescriptionTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoMandatory", EcoMandatoryDropDownList.Text)
-Depending on which test area is the the engineering from, I can filter the ECOs and just shows the ones that their test area is pending. (using GridView)
But I'm stuck right now when the engineers have to sign the ECO for their test areas. I was able to use the Gridview and DetailsView to EDIT most of the things that I need. But there are somethings that I don't like:
1. When using the EDIT option on Gridview or Detailsview, all fields can be edited including ECO number, description and mandatory, which I don't want them to change. If I set those columns to read only, when editing that row again. It gives me an error that says that the ECOnumber can't be NULL, but if I remove these 3 columns the Engineer will not know which ECO they have sign. They are only going to be able to see the EcoId, which doesn't say much.
2. Also I saw that I wasn't able to do is to enter the USER login and CURRENT system date and time automatically. I don't want them to manually enter the date and their login manually.
3. Finally, when the last area signs the ECO, I want to update that record and set a flag that tells me that the ECO has been completed.
So what I really want is to create some sort of form (textboxes, labels, checkboxes, etc.) that will UPDATE the selected ECO from the gridview for instance. So when I select the row from the GridView, It will show the data (Econumber, description and mandatory as READ ONLY) and use the rest of the things as INPUT for the engineer to complete. At the end an "update button" and when I click it, It will enter/update the data on that specific row, but including the time and user login as well.
Also to check if the other 2 areas have signed and if so, change the ECOReadiness flag to 1 and send the email.
Is there a code like the one I used above to do this ? Or if you think there a better way to do this, I'll be very glad to hear it.
I'm new using sql and asp, so If i'm asking some dumb questions please forgive me. .
Here's my table definition for your reference:
EcoId - primary key.
EcoNumber
EcoDescription
EcoMandatory
EcoReadiness <- Flag for the entire ECO, when ALL 3 areas have signed, this will be 1.
ATE < - Flag for Electrical area.
ATEscripts < - Just a Yes/no input.
ATEengineer <- user login
ATEdatetimestamp <- Date.Now()
FAT < - Flag for functional.
FATscripts
FATengineer
FATdatetimestamp
SYSTEMS < - Flag for systems.
SYSTEMSscripts
SYSTEMSengineer
SYSTEMSdatetimestamp

Sometimes I want to quickly to edit a record in a table instead of using an insert statement.
Sometimes there are auditing columns like DateCreated, and CreatedBy,
I know it can be made as default. for DateCreated to be sysdatetime, and createdby to be system user.
But I just curious to know if there is a way to manually enter today's date and the user in the cell?
Hi,
I created one blank ADP to connect default tempdb database on MSDE on server ASHFAQUEPC (name of my msde server). Tested the connection was successful.
I created a table called Testtable from command prompt (MSSQL/Binn) in default tempdb of MSDE using following lines:
…Binn>osql/U sa mypassword
1> use tempdb
1> go
1> Create table Testtable (Cnum integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, City Varchar(15))
1> go
Table Created successfully then I added 2-3 records using following lines;
1> INSERT INTO testable (cnum, city)
1> values (1, ‘abc’)
1> go
1 Record affected and I did same to add 2-3 more records. Then I used following lines to see all the records I entered.
1> select * from testable
1> go
And a list of records displayed at command prompt. After exit from command prompt I found a ‘Testtable’ appeared in the above ADP.
But next day when I opened my pc and opened ADP, I did not found the Testtable even though I re-connected to tempdb on MSDE from File menu. I reached then to command prompt to see whether the table itself is existing. Strange it was not there.
Can somebody tell me how can I get connected to testable automatically when I open my ADP? Where might have gone wrong? Do I need to create table again and input records?
I want to make sure before I do anything with my real dbs.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque :confused:
Hello all.
First I will be the first to say that I'm very inexperienced when it comes to working with MS SQL DBs. I'm doing my best to learn though.
Here is my problem. I have a piece of software that connects up to an MSDE instance. Within this instance there is a database called TTUSER. And within the TTUSER database, there are several tables, one of which called User. I can not seem to do anything with this table. For example when I just try to see the contents of the UserID column, I get:
1> select UserID from User
2> go
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Server <MyMsdeServerName>, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.
However, when I try the exact same command above, but use the Logon table instead of the User table, it works just fine, and I see the contents of the UserID column from the Logon table.
I also tried copying the User Table with this:
1> select * into Test from User
2> go
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Server 10250-JORUM, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.
And again, if I just substitute the User table with the Logon table, it copies just fine. Both of these tables, Logon and User, are in the same database, TTUser.
I would just like to be able to view the contents of the User table from command line, and maybe send it into a text file. Thanks for your help.

Seems like there is no cursor support for MSDE. Is there a way other than clicking a DataGrid to step thru a selection of some tables?
I'd like to do some updating and insertion to another table using some selection criteria of two tables. Is there a way to do that in MSDE and ASP.NET environment?
I'm pretty new to MSDE and ASP.
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the
same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that
the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed
from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
regards,
Manfred
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?

Hello,
I have some problems to edit a recordset in an ActiveX DTS using Vbscript.
Here is an example of the script :
dim varsql, varset, varconn
set varconn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set varset = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
varconn.Open = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Enregistrement3;user id = 'sa';password=''"
varsql = "SELECT * "
varsql = varsql & "FROM mytable "
varset.Open varsql, varconn, 3,3
msgbox "How much : " & varset.recordcount
if varset.recordcount >0 then
do while varset.eof
varset.edit
.........................
varset.update
varset.movenext
loop
end if
varset.close
varconn.close
Does someone see what is wrong ?
I allways get -1 for the varset.recordcount ! (I checked there are some records into the table).
I don't think it is a problem of user's right as it works with the same user configuration using a SQL action requery.
If I modify the open statement like this :
varset.Open varsql, varconn, 1
varset.recordcount contains the good number of records but the recordset is read noly and can't be modified...
Any Help will be very wellcome !
TIA
This is a basic, remedial question, but I've no experience whatsoever with SQL server or Access (although I'm familiar with basic DB concepts). Even so, I have inherited this project because no one else will take it (besides, I like the challenge of learning something new :-). If I understand correctly, I can use Access 2000 to create and edit DBs on my SQL 7 server, and to run queries. This is done by creating a WBEM ODBC connector (I have no idea how this is done). I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but I sure would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. What I'd like to know is first of all, am I on the right track, and secondly, what do you all recommend as a good source of info on this topic (the Microsoft web site, technet, manuals?).
All info is greatly appreciated.
thanx,
