UPDATE Query Handles Differently In SQL Server And MS Access?
Dec 17, 2007
Hello,
I am converting old MS Access queries to T-SQL and ran into a problem. The results of the same update queries returned different results. The idea is to subtract each of the amounts of Table2 from Table1:
Source sample tables and content:
Table1
ID Amount
1 100
Table2
ID Amount
1 10
1 20
1 30
In Access (Orginal source):
UPDATE Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ID = Table2.ID
SET Table1.Amount = Table1.Amount - Table2.Amount
In T-SQL (Converted):
UPDATE Table1
SET Table1.Amount = Table1.Amount - Table2.Amount
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ID = Table2.ID
Syntax for T-SQL is different from Access. When both queries are ran on their respective database, Table1.Amount in access became 40 (100 - 10 - 20 - 30), but Table1.Amount in SQL became 90 (100 - 10).
It looks as if in T-SQL it only ran one row? Or it could be that in T-SQL, updates written to the database in batches, hence why Table1.Amount was not updated for all update instances? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me set the scene:
I have an update trigger on a table. When a specific column is updated, I get the rowid from 'inserted' and then pass it via service broker to another database that will fire off a maintenance routine at a later time. This whole process seems to work fine if I update a single row at a time through Query Analyzer.
During testing (of the service broker part) I found that if in Query Analyzer I run an update that updates all of the records at once, then the trigger seems to fire only once for the entire process, therefore killing the rest of my process.
I would have thought that regardless of how a record was being updated the trigger would fire atomically for each row.
Any guidance on this would be MOST appreciated!

}
Code Snippet
The update statement is not working in my application, no error in C# and no error in ms-access. When I paste the update query into the ms-access query tool and replace the parameter values (@....) with real values, is will update the record.
What am I overseeing here?

In our application we have created a SSIS package which extracts data from staging table and places the same in destination table. We have created a slowly changing dimension for the same. Slowly changing dimension uses a composite business key of two columns to decide whether it is a old record or a new record.
Problem : On execution of the package it copies duplicate records with same business keys instead of updating the same. Also the same does not happen for all records. For few records update works fine but for others it inserts a new duplicate record.
I will appreciate if anybody can guide me where I am doing something wrong.
Thank you

hi guys, my prblem is that I cannot update sql query against MS ACCESS using C#. Everytime wen i do so, i got an exception (at runtime) as 'UPDATE syntax not correct'. I don find any error in my 'update' syntax.
I can successfully run other dbase operations like insertion, deletion & all.; except Updation.
But, i can successfully run the same update query in the 'sql query tab' of MS ACCESS, and is executed successfully.
I'm using VS.NET 2005 & MS ACCESS 2003.
please help me...its urgent.
i'm including the code below :
*****************************************************************
string provider = "Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0; Data Source = db1.mdb;";
string sql = "update Table1 set Password = 'modify' where ID = 'abhi'";
try
{
OleDbConnection oc = new OleDbConnection(provider);
OleDbCommand od = new OleDbCommand(sql, oc);
oc.Open();
od.ExecuteNonQuery();
oc.Close();
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
return exp.Message;
}
*****************************************************************
My table contains two field : "ID" & "Password", both are of String type.

I'm looking for the minimum date of an entry into a history table. The table contains multiple entries for the customer and the item with an activation and deactivation date for each entry.
I could use the following:
select customerId, item, min(activationDate) from history group by customerId, item
or a sub query
select customerId, item, activationDate
from history h1
where activationDate=(select min(activationDate) from history h2 where h2.customerId=h1.customerId and h2.item=h1.item)
How are these two queries parsed differently by SQL.
They return a different number of results.
Thanks,
karen

I have read the articles posted online concerning different dialog reuse strategies. Most of them create a new table in the sender to hold dialog ids. I was wondering what is wrong, if anything, with the following approach:
Code Block
declare @dlg uniqueidentifier
select top 1 @dlg = conversation_handle from sys.conversation_endpoints where state IN ('CO')
if @dlg is null
begin
begin dialog conversation @dlg
from service [tcp://SFT3DEVSQL01:4022/TyMetrix360Audit/DataSender]
to service '//TyMetrix360Audit/DataWriter','386DDD04-7E55-466A-BE83-37EFC20910B9'
on contract [//TyMetrix360Audit/Contract] with encryption = off;
end
;send on conversation @dlg
message type [//TyMetrix360Audit/Message] (@msg)
Here I simply select a conversation handle directly from the sys.conversation_endpoints table. Can anyone see any issues with this approach?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
I am developing an application to mail the Newsletters on a daily basis with Service Broker . I have a peculiar problem, that the queues associated with same dialog is giving different conversation handles. I'm testing the application with one mail at a time, i.e., there are not more than one item in both the queue at one point of time. But the handles returned by the queues are different within the same conversation.
Why it is happening like that ? I have taken backup of the original database and restored with a different name in the same instance (and will run "ALTER DATABASE db_name SET NEW_BROKER" for the new database) for some purpose. Can it cause problem ?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Babu

My product was developed for and works correctly on SQL Server 2000. However, when we upgraded to 2005, we found that certain system stored procedures were different, causing our product to break.
We can easily change our stored procedures to work in 2005, but we have a large client base, some of whom will be using each version. Our current solution is to check the version of SQL Server during installation and choose which script to use at that time in order to have an appropriate stored procedure for that version, but we are concerned about users who install our product with SQL Server 2000 and then upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
How can I make a stored procedure that will run differently depending on the version? I tried something like:
if (select charindex('2000', @@version)) > 0
begin -- SQL Server 2000
SELECT
...
FROM
...
WHERE
end
else -- SQL Server 2005
SELECT
...
FROM
...
WHERE
end
Unfortunately, the system tables I'm selecting from have different stuctures in the different versions (one example is msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules and msdb.dbo.sysschedules), and even though the code never gets into the SQL Server 2000 section on 2005, it parses the whole procedure for errors before allowing it to be saves and will not allow this.
Any thoughts?

SQL query in SQL Server:

Hello,I'm in need of a little assitance using MSAccess with an SQL Server 2000 database backend.I currently have an application populates an Access database,but I would like to be able to send this data directly to the SQLServer also. Potential solution include the use of ADO/ADOX to make aconnection, a Pass-through/Update query to send the datato an identical database schema on the SQL Server, andstored procedures to make everything efficient. I don't have muchexperience with any of these technologies, but would greatlyappreciate any help and /or code snippets to get things moving.Thanks,Daryl

Heys
a while back i had to do a project with an access database, one of the biggest problems i had back then was gettting the primary key
of a datarow you had just inserted into the database.
After a long set of trial and error i came up with the following:
- add the tablemappings of a table
- call the dataadapte.fillschema method
then after inserting a new row into the database the primary key gets filled in automatically!
now thing is
i was hoping to duplicate this in sql server
but it doesn't seem to work at all
so after i insert a row into my datatable
and update it
the row is in the database
but in vb the datarow primary key is not filled in!
anyone have an idea?
prefereabely one that does not resort to stored procedures with return parameters etc
thx a million in advance!

I am trying to get a SQL statement to work with both Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000.
The statement that works in SQL Server is:
---
UPDATE [myTable2]
SET
[myTable2].[FieldA] = 'Hello',
[myTable2].[FieldB] = 2,
[myTable2].[FieldC] = 'xxx',
[myTable2].[FieldD] = 0
FROM [myTable1] INNER JOIN
(myTable2 INNER JOIN [myTable3]
ON [myTable2].[FieldX]=[myTable2].[FieldY])
ON [myTable1].[FieldZ]=[myTable2].[FieldY]
WHERE ([myTable2].[FieldY]=1)
And ([myTable3].[FieldZ]='xxx');
---
(names have been changed to protect the innocent)
The statement that works in Access is:
---
UPDATE [myTable1] INNER JOIN
(myTable2 INNER JOIN [myTable3]
ON [myTable2].[FieldX]=[myTable2].[FieldY])
ON [myTable1].[FieldZ]=[myTable2].[FieldY]
SET
[myTable2].[FieldA] = 'Hello',
[myTable2].[FieldB] = 2,
[myTable2].[FieldC] = 'xxx',
[myTable2].[FieldD] = 0
WHERE ([myTable2].[FieldY]=1)
And ([myTable3].[FieldZ]='xxx');
---
It seems that neither will accept the other format. Can anyone suggest how I can rearrange the statement so that it works in both?

I am new to both ASP.net and this forum. I have seen some posts close to this, but none address this problem.
I have a SQL Server database on JOHN1 called 'siu_log' with a table called 'siu_log'. It has two fields: Scenarios char[20] and Machines char[20].
I have been adapting code from Build Your Own ASP.NET Website in C# & VB.NET by Zac Ruvalcaba to learn the language. Much of what you will see is his work adapted for my use.
First, the html:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="SIU_Assign.WebForm1"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>SIU Interface Scenario Assignments</title>
<meta content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1" name="GENERATOR">
<meta content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1" name="CODE_LANGUAGE">
<meta content="JavaScript" name="vs_defaultClientScript">
<meta content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" name="vs_targetSchema">
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:datagrid id="scenariosDataGrid" runat="server" CellPadding="4" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
OnUpdateCommand="dg_Update" OnCancelCommand="dg_Cancel" OnEditCommand="dg_Edit" DataKeyField="Scenarios">
<ItemStyle BackColor="#00DDDD" ForeColor="#000000" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#003366" ForeColor="#FFFFFF" />
<Columns>
<asp:EditCommandColumn EditText="Edit" CancelText="Cancel" UpdateText="Update" />
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Scenarios" HeaderText="Scenario" ReadOnly="True" />
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<HeaderTemplate>
Machine
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Container.DataItem("Machines") %>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtMachine" Runat=server Text='<%# Container.DataItem("Machines") %>' />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>
<asp:Label id="resultLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label></form>
</body>
</HTML>
Then the CodeBehind:
Sub dg_Update(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)
Dim strMachineName, strScenarioName As String
Dim intResult As Integer
strScenarioName = Trim(scenariosDataGrid.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex))
strMachineName = CType(e.Item.FindControl("txtMachine"), TextBox).Text
cmd = New SqlCommand("UPDATE siu_log SET Machines=@Machine " & _
"WHERE Scenarios=@Scenario", conn)
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Machine", strMachineName)
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Scenario", strScenarioName)
conn.Open()
intResult = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
resultLabel.Text = "The result was " & intResult & "."
conn.Close()
scenariosDataGrid.EditItemIndex = -1
BindData()
End Sub
The problem is the strMachineName variable always contains the previous contents of the text box -- not the new one. This makes the UPDATE query just push the old data back into the table.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I have two tables in an inner join. I'm detailing the tables with some of their fields below. These tables are in a database I'm creating to manage backup tapes. Most importantly, this database will inform me when backup tapes which have already been used can be recycled (e.g. after all the jobs on the tape are over 28 days old). I want to write something which will look at each tape in turn and, if all related backup jobs on that tape are aged, the tape status will be changed from Active to Spare.
Tapes
--TapeNo
--Status (Spare / Assigned)
Jobs
--JobNo
--Name
--Description
--TapeNo
--AgedJob (BIT field indicating whether or not the job has aged)
Each tape can have 0, 1 or many jobs and each job can be on more than one tape.
Anyway, I have the tables and relationsips set up and they're ok. Again, what I'm struggling with is how I take each tape and look at all its jobs and, if all have aged, change the Status for the tape to Spare. I'm using SQL Server 2000 (Access 2003 as front end) and am pretty new to SQL. I was thinking this could be done by using some kind of update query and subquery, but I'm stumped. Could someone please help ?

Membertable1 has SSN, Address1, Address2 as columns.
Membertable2 has SSN, Name, Address1, Address2 as columns.
For each SSN in Membertable2 I want to update the Address1 and Address2 from Membertable1 table Address columns if it is available.
Since it is SQL Server 2005, thinking of any 2005 features. SQL Statements only.

I am trying to upsize a database to SQL server (on which I am a novice). InAccess as part of a much more complex query I had the following (from sqlview)SELECTIIf(InStr([ItemName],"*")>0,Left([ItemName],InStr([ItemName],"*")-1),[ItemName]) AS ShortName FROM corp_infoWhich gives a return value for the whole of ItemName if there is no star init, or the portion up to the star if there is a starI am having a nightmare trying to get an equivalent in SQL server. I'veworked out that Instr is charindex in sql and can adjust for that, but can'twork out how to get a conditional select statement working.It may well be obvious, but any help much appreciated. Thanks.Robin Hammondwww.enhanceddatasystems.com

I set up an Excel spreadsheet for several users that queries a SQL Server. I provided the spreadsheet to the users and set it to refresh when ever it is open. The query is working fine. The problem is the users are prompted with a SQL Server login screen every time they open the file. The login screen shows the server name, the username and the password. All they have to do is press 'OK' and the screen goes away. Why are they being prompted with this screen? What can I do to eliminate the users from even seeing this window?
I also receive this window whenever I open the file and I created it on the workstation where i'm opening it.
Thank you for any input or suggestions.

I'm hoping someone can help me out - at least by pointing me to who I can ask, if not answering the question directly.
I have some encrypted values in a SQL Server 2000 database that I unencrypt and use in a website that I just converted from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.
The data is pulled from the database using standard ADO with no changes between the .NET 1.1 version and the .NET 2 version - yet for some data entries, when the identical value is pulled by the .NET 2 code it is changed or shorted.
For example:
1.1 code traces out a value pulled from the db as:
ᒪ࢖淨�d�把���媑쬹�䜻ꖉ���
The same value pulled from the database by .NET 2 looks like this:
ᒪ࢖淨�d�把媑쬹�䜻ꖉ
Do you know why the database value would be interpreted diferently by .NET 2 than by .NET 1.1? How can I bring this in sync so that both 1.1 sites and 2 sites can use the same data?
