Hi, I'm trying to insert multiple checkboxlist values from a databound checkboxlist into a SQL Server Express DB. I need to insert the values JobID and CategoryID into an intermediate table which is made of two columns, JobID and CategoryID, which form the primary key. I'm using the following code:Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim insertCommand As SqlCommand Dim strConnection As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"Dim objConnection As New SqlConnection(strConnection) Try objConnection.Open() Dim ctr As Integer Dim str As StringFor ctr = 0 To CheckBoxList1.Items.Count - 1 If CheckBoxList1.Items(ctr).Selected Then str = "INSERT INTO CategoryVacancies (JobID, CategoryID) values (@JobID, @CategoryID)"insertCommand = New SqlCommand(str, objConnection) insertCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryID", CheckBoxList1.SelectedValue)insertCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@JobID", JobIDLabel.Text) insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() End If Next objConnection.Close()Catch ex As Exception errorLabel.Text = "Failed because:" & ex.Message End Try End Sub I get this error: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_CategoryVacancies'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.CategoryVacancies'. The statement has been terminated. It always inserts only the first value of the checkboxlist, instead of looping through and inserting all the rows. Anyone know what's going wrong? Many Thanks
For example, Training OR Production – should include everyone with an Training OR everyone with a Production checked OR everyone with both Training and Production checked. If service AND technical support – just those two options will show – the customer can only have those 2 options selected in their account and nothing else.
Is there an easy way to build the SQL query for this scenario? Any suggestions or tips?

Should I change my current design which has a Lookup Child Table and a Parent Table containing a ID link tot he Child Table, and instead just putting a varchar for the Value in the Parent Table?
The issue is that the value is unique for a large percentage of cases (although some specific values reoccur very frequently).
However, the parent table has a high number of inserts, and that in turn often requires inserts to the Child Table, which in turn pushes the Child Table out of shape, and performance suffers.
The data is very seldom used (usually for debugging only)
Should I de-Normalise this for performance?
Details of the actual circumstances:
I have a table that Logs each "page hit" on our web site. That stores the "Referrer".
We store the Referrer for the SESSION separately (the first page viewed will have an external referrer, thereafter all pages will have an "internal" referrer).
This Referrer data is used VERY LITTLE - just for the occasional debugging issue.
Within some URLs are frequently used (www.mydomain.com/HOME.ASP) and others contain &Parameters and stuff and are either relatively unique(www.mydomain.com/ViewBasket.ASP&BasketID=1234) or variable (www.mydomain.com/ViewProduct.ASP&ProductID=1234)
Currently I store the Referrer in a Child "Lookup" Table, and the PK ID in the "Logging" Table.
Some analysis of the data shows:
119,509 rows (pages logged [purged after a couple of days, only includes data where the Referrer is not blank!])
Of those there are 10,760 distinct Referrer values. An average of 11 Page Hits per Referrer value.
On the face of it that suggests that using a child table is good! However, for each row inserted into the Page Hit table I have to do the following to get the Referrer ID:
SELECT @MyReferrerID = ID FROM MyLookupTable WHERE MyValue = @MyReferrerValue IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 INSERT ... @MyReferrerValue ... SELECT @MyReferrerID = @@IDENTITY
(MyLookupTable has a PK on [ID] and a Unique Index on [MyValue] )
(In a busy month we will add 100,000 rows to this Lookup table, in a slack month 20,000. These get "purged" after a while, so the table size stays about the same. The table is defragged [if required] daily and the Stats updated. There are 350,000 rows in MyLookupTable)
Obviously some values in MyLookupTable reoccur, others are unique - and get purged after a while. Inserting these new entries pushes MyLookupTable out of shape, the SHOW_STATISTICS start to look awful, an sp_recompile sorts it out (Why? The query plan doesn't change ... although obviously the "shape" of the table has, maybe the Stats got auto-updated, would that change anything?)
So I'm thinking about just storing @MyReferrer as a VARCHAR in the Logging table, and throwing away MyLookupTable.
So really I'm just looking at performance, not Normalisation ...
My store procedure get the QuestionID (PK) from the page and then it's to return a few varchars but gives me the error that string can't be converted to int.

Hi, My package dumps the errors into a table. The problem is, it couldnt dump Error Output column to a varchar field. I have added an script component in between to transform to string but no success.
I tried ErrorOutput.GetBlobData(0, ErrorOutput.Length)
but when I query the database, it says "System.Byte[]'
I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.
So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.
Not sure how I can convert varchar to numeric values in SQL Server? Trying to do so in Design and get error: Unable to modify table. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC Server Driver][SQL Server] Error converting data type varchar to numeric. Any suggestions?
I have a stored procedure that accepts a parameter of type varchar(32). This parameter gets tested against NULL as part of an IF statement. The behavior I'm seeing is that this test never evaluates to TRUE, even in cases where NULL has been passed in as the value of the parameter.
CREATE PROCEDURE uspNewVital @Description varchar(32), @Type tinyint, @DeviceType varchar(32), @Dimension varchar(32), @Unit varchar(32) AS IF (@Dimension != NULL AND @Unit != NULL) BEGIN RAISERROR ('You must specify either a dimension or a unit.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END IF NULL = @Dimension BEGIN DECLARE @UnitID AS int ; SELECT @UnitID = ID FROM tblUnit WHERE Description=@Unit ; IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BEGIN RAISERROR ('Unit not found.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END INSERT INTO tblVitalType VALUES (@DeviceTypeID, @DatumID, NULL, @UnitID) ; END ELSE BEGIN DECLARE @DimensionID AS int ; SELECT @DimensionID = ID FROM tblDimension WHERE Description=@Dimension ; IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 BEGIN RAISERROR ('Dimension not found.', 15, 1) ; RETURN 0 ; END INSERT INTO tblVitalType VALUES (@DeviceTypeID, @DatumID, @DimensionID, NULL) ; END GO
When I pass in a NULL for @Dimension, code execution still goes to the ELSE block.
At first I thought this might have something to do with the ANSI_NULLS option, but the database has this defaulting to OFF.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm creating a table for maintenance records.In each record, many of the values are simply checkboxes (on the UI).In the database table for these attributes, is a good way to store thestate of these checkboxes as simple as 0 for false, 1 for true?-David
The point is, i want to calculate the max id of a table using Aggregate Transformation, then insert some rows with a OLEDB Command and finally , with another OLEDB Command select those rows with id >(max_id) calculated before.
How can i get a value that was calculated before? Can i store it in a variable?
I have a field defined as varchar(8) but this field should not contain any letters, needs to be only numbers. How can I validate the data if it contains only numbers? Any ideas?
IF I have a table like the below one and i have to insert a number value which is inserted as varchar in an int column then what is expected behavior of this statements .
create table stud (id int) insert into stud values ('1').
In oracle there is "RETURNING" Clause which stores the values inserted to a variable. Is there any option in sql server. i.e storing and fetching takes place at one shot.
eg: insert into tab (name) values ('hello') returning name into val;
was hoping someone couild provide some insight into a problem I'm trying to solve.
I have a table called SEARCHCRITERIA. It consists of a USERID column and a CRITERIA column. Users will be able to search for other users based on a set of criteria. There are 5 total criteria a user can choose. They can choose as few as none or all five. I'd like to store the criteria chosen as a single number in the SEARCHCRITERIA table. Then use a function to parse out the criteria. For example:
CRITERIAID CRITERIA CRITERIAVALUE 1 AGE 2 2 SEX 4 3 GRADE 8 4 LOCALE 16 5 REGION 32
A user performs a search based on AGE, SEX, and LOCALE. I would then store the value 22 (the sum of 2, 4, and 16) in the SEARCH table. I would then need a function to pull out the three individual values.
I'm looking for a way to store a list of values in a variable. The query user will need to input a list of file numbers, and my query will need to perform a couple operations on that same list of values, which is why it seems a variable would be most appropriate.
I can't obtain the list of values from the database as they will have to be entered by the user. I'm imagining storing these in a table variable.... User just copies/pastes the list of values somewhere into the query code and executes as usual.
I have a form with text boxes and checkboxlists that a user will fill out and click submit. When the user clicks submit, it will update the sql database. In my sql database I have checkbox fields. My question is how can I use the selected items in a checkboxlist to update the sql database individual check boxes. Below is the code I have so far that works for a text box:Partial Class windrockform Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click Dim dashdatasource As New SqlDataSourcedashdatasource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("WindrockIssuesConnectionString").ToString dashdatasource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text dashdatasource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO IssueLog (initiator) VALUES (@initiator)"dashdatasource.InsertParameters.Add("initiator", initiatorTextBox.Text) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = 0 Try rowsAffected = dashdatasource.Insert()Catch ex As Exception Server.Transfer("problem.aspx") End Try If rowsAffected <> 1 ThenServer.Transfer("problem.aspx") ElseServer.Transfer("confirm.aspx") End IfEnd Sub End Class
I am new to asp.net and would appreciate the help. Thanks,
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2' ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
HI I have a problem related Store Procedure, that i am trying to extact a value from Database (Like FirstName,LastName,Email Address) through Store Procedure and Display it in the DropDownList(Like: FirstName LastName ,(xyz@xyz.com)) , and this is working correctly. Now i try to check the value at the same time if it is NULL value in the Database then pass EmptyString to the DropDownList Like ("" "" ,(xyz@xyz.com)) how i can do that in the store procedure. Comments will be appreciated.
I want to store arabic values and dates in sql server database.
I am using visual basic 2005 with sql server 2005. I entered the the arabic values through visual basic forms. But when i open the database table, i see the values in english format.
I change my regional settings of the operating system is arabic (platform vista).
Hallo is it possible to perform an insert/update query upon the execution of a report, using the report Visual Basic expressions? I mean, the user enters some values for the report parameters, and i would like to store them, along with the resulting recordset data, into a dedicated table in the database.
hi friends i am using visual studio 2005. i need one combo box which will display two values. one is "Designation" i.e.("clerk,accountant,manager,officer,shopkeeper) and another "Designation ID" i.e.(1,2,3,4,5 and respectively) i made table of "Designation Master" in sql server 2000 including field of "Designation ID, Designation". manually i am inserting id and designation in that table. what i want exactly i have one customer form which contain a "combobox" for "Designation" column i achieved "Designation ID" and "Designation" in that combo box also but when i will go for save i want that i will store only "Designation ID" i don't want to store "Designation" in my "Designation" column which is in "Customer table" i am attaching code which store "Designation ID" and "Designation" in customer table but i want only "Designation ID" only bold line which is difficult for me to inserting only "designationId" in customer table.
Inventory_Master.cntData.Open()
cmdstr = "Select DesigID,Designation from Designation_Master"

Hi All, I have written a stored procedure that has a return value (OUTPUT Parameter) and was wondering if there is any way to retreive this value in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005? I get the result fine, but cannot figure out how to get the return parameter.
