How do you work with an xml file that resides in a database column using IS XML related features? From what i understand so far, the path cannot point to a column within a database but only to a source outside of the database. Am I correct?
View 1 RepliesHey 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
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
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

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!

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
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!

I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday)
1 1 a b c d e m
1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
I have:
Master table Hotel
table AddressCrossRef (with: RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType = 'Hotel', AddrID)
joins
table Address (key = AddrID)
table MediaCrossRef (with RefID = Hotel.ID, RefType= 'Hotel', MediaID)
joins
table Media (with MediaID,mediaType = 'thumbnail')
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have
left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using
where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null)
but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
any clue?
thanks
...when I started this endeavor.
I have a previously developed Lotus Notes App. The idea was simple; as
I am sefl taught on Lotus Script, I figured I'd be able to stumble my
way through VB.Well,
it started OK. I used VB Express to get familiar with the stuff, but
decided to go with a full version of VS 2005 and try and get this thing
properly developed as a web app. I purchased several reference books
etc., and have become relatively familiar with the forums here.First
issue I have is that I simply want to use code to update or add records
to an SQL DB. I know about datagridview etc., but I want to update the
DB using forms, not the tabular view those controls provide. I thought
it would be relatively straight forward, but found my ignorance runs
deeper than I thought. When I tried to do so I am finding I am not
really clear on where to make declarations etc. in the web app. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. The
issue with searching these forums is most posts deal with datagridview
or something similar.I have spent a ton of time trying to find relevant
posts or articles, but have had no luck yet.Again, all Ireally
need is a nudge in the right direction. I am more than willing to plod
through reference materials or articles/posts to find what I need to
know, I just can't find where to even start on the info I need. Regards, Joe

Hi,
I'm relatively new to SQL7 but I did use 6.5 a fair bit.
I'm trying to test the restore of the Transaction log backup and having a bit of difficulty. The idea is that I make a complete database backup at 1am backup the transaction log every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm. I need to be able to restore the database to a known state between 7am and 7pm with a max data loss of 30 minutes.
What I am trying to achieve is (as a test):
1)Create a small test database with a test table
2)Add some data to the test table
3)Back up the transaction log
4)Restore the transaction log to 'undo' the data added in step 2
Should be simple I think !!! The problem I am encountering is that in step 4 it won't let me restore only the transaction log (a tick automatically appears in the database backup as well). Bah !
Can someone please tell me what simple steps are required to get this to work. I need specifically on what options to chose during the backup and restore processes.
Thankyou,
Tim

I'm trying to find out if a particular column in a table has more than 10 digits. for example: the TN column.
How can I write this query? The data type for this column is bigint. Also, would it be better to change this data type to char(10) instead as it's used primarily for phone # lookups? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Im trying to create a simple search page to return a list of products from a table in a sql database. Id like to be able to search a product description column in a table I have called products using the contents of a text box. I was wondering how i can go about getting the search to check for all words the user types in rather than just a single word or an exact phrase. Im currently using the following sql query
SELECT [product_title], [product_description] FROM [products] WHERE ([product_description] LIKE '%' + @product_search + '%')
this works fine for single words and exact phrases but if i had product called 'fred w bloggs' and i enter 'fred bloggs' it will not return anything.
Please could anyone suggest how i shoud go about this?
Im not sure if my web hosting company will enable full text search or will this be required?
Thanks for any help!
