Hi,
I need to alter column size of particular table with constraints, table which has primary key and referred to another table.
I have used like this "alter table my_table_name alter column my_column_name varchar(50)"
It shows me error as
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 7
The object 'PK_DiagnosisSummary' is dependent on column 'my_column_name'.
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 7
The index 'my_column_name' is dependent on column 'Code'.
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 7
The object 'FK__Diagnosis__DiagC__51DA19CB' is dependent on column 'my_column_name'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 7
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN Code failed because one or more objects access this column.
Let me know how to alter field size of this table with constraints and indexed.
Be simple and Be sample.

Hi,
I am struggling in using dataset or traditional dataReader in ADO.Net.
It seems to me that if I use the dataset (direct bind it to UI), then the dataset will replace the object model layer, so it seems only good for simple application development without much object model logic.
If I insert a object layer
above the dataset, then it seems no difference from the traditional
approach by using DataReader with SQL query. Then what is the goodness
of dataset ?
And if I use dataset, the cached data by read/write in the dataset will be lost if the application hang, so the cached data by read/write should be restricted within the scope of one transaction.
Are all my perceptions on using dataset above right ? Any comments?
Thanks

Hi
I'm having trouble installing SQL CE. It is installed, and i can see the sql query analyzer icon, once i run that. The normal SQL CE screen comes up, but there's no tools options at the bottom. Have I installed in wrong or is it something else.
Thanks

Hey there,
I have two datasets with exactly the same tables and exactly the same columns. I want to merge the second dataset into the first dataset, but i want to maintain the original row version of the first dataset.
ds1.Merge(ds2, true, MissingSchemaAction.Ignore) only changes the Original Row version of ds1's rows and ds1.Merge(ds2, false, MissingSchemaAction.Ignore) changes both Original AND current value... is there no way to change only the Current version of a row??
I cannot ds2.Merge(ds1) because i have a modified dataset class which inherits datasets but also maintain a connection to a database. ds1 and ds2 are both connected to diffrent databases and changing the connection after merge doesn't work ;-(
|
|
|
|
|
thinking one step beyond solves the problem, which means I've already got a solution...
for this interested, you need two merges...
ds2.merge(ds1, true, MissingSchemaAction.Ignore)
ds1.merge(ds2, false, MissingSchemaAction.Ignore)

Ziet er op zich wel OK uit, maar denk dat het niet een oplossing was geweest voor mijn probleem. Ik heb een selectie van data die ik uit de database trek, op een laptop zet en zonder database connectie wijzig. Daana wil ik een sync doen van de data terug naar de db. Ik heb dan twee identieke datasets (qua structuur dan) alleen is de 'sql' dataset gevuld met oude data, en de 'nieuwe' dataset gevuld met de up-to-date data. Ik moet in de 'sql' dataset dan wel de gewijzigde rijden bijhouden (nieuwe, gewijzigde en verwijderde) om aan een adapter door te geven wat hij in mijn db moet wijzigen... moeilijk verhaal allemaal (waarschijnlijk omdat ik het onhandig uitleg) maar vooral door de AcceptChanges kan ik de wijzigingen niet meer terugvinden en ben ik dus alsnog de row states kwijt.. echter, de oplossing was al gevonden middels een dubbele merge..

When I set a password to my access db.
myCon = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=db.mdb;Password=password");
myCon->Open();
I get a exception error.
"The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user"
..but when I remove it, it open ok. What other param's I need to set in order to open a password protected access db?
|
|
|
|

if its the database password and not tied to specific users then try the following connection string
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & sFullPath & ";Mode=ReadWrite;Persist Security Info=False; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & sPassword
Where sFullPath is the full path and filename of the db and sPassword is the db password.

Guys/Gals,
I've not been able to find a "neat", reliable way to fill a DataTable with the results of a DirectorySearcher. I tried multiple variations of the available DataAdapters that I could find, but none seemed to be "adaptable"... (I made a funny!) 
Anyway, I'm trying to stay away from a direct LDAP call to AD, and use the DirectorySearcher/SearchResults. I wouldn't think that it would be too difficult. I'm sure there's some way that the Framework will let me do this.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated...

I am in need of a third party tool for a database import/export.
I need to do these operations from a database (say mysql) to an other one (say ms sql). Can anybody suggest me an other option except MS Enterprise Manager from SQl Serv 2000? It would grately help if that application is a free one (gpl).
Thank you.
I hope you understand...
By the way... visit http://nehe.gamedev.net[^]

Enterprise Manager won't talk to MySql.

Actualy I managed to make "it talk to mysql" through ODBC adapters.
So my question remains. Can anybody help me?
All I need is a application that can read all the data from a database in a specific server and write it to an other server (like from MS sql 2000 to mysql)
I hope you understand...

Hi guys,
I've got a smart client application that allows the user to change, create, or delete data that's stored in an MSDE SQL database. I've rolled my own messaging queue so that the when a client updates lots of data at a time (e.g. deletes 500 rows of data, create 2 rows, update 100 rows), I send a batch message to my server application containing 602 sub-messages describing what happened (in other words, one big message containing all the actual messages describing what happened). This way I only have to go over the network from client to server only 1 time.
All that works great.
My problem is that now that the "delete 500, create 2, update 100" batch message is on the server, I have to call a stored procedure in the database for each message: call RemoveRow stored proc 500 times, call CreateRow 2 times, call UpdateRow 100 times.
Using the ANTS .NET profiler to look at my code, it is apparent that this execution of several hundred stored proc calls is a bottleneck. Is there any way to allow the MSDE database to execute a batch of commands all at once? Or better yet, is there a better way of doing this?
Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.

Hi all
A database question.
Say for example I have a Suppliers table and a Products table in my database. If theoretically each supplier can supply millions of products what would be the most efficient and convenient?
Having a different Products table for each supplier, or a single Products table holding products of all suppliers. If the first option is better would it not be very tricky querying the data for reports and so on?
Thanks again.

That depends on how you are going to use the data. You can split the data by supplier and have a partitioned view to stich it back as if it were one big table - you can then query through the view.
Personally, I would keep it as one supplier table and one products table unless you run into performance problems then do work on eliminating the performance issues. I find that second guessing SQL Server on performance is often counter productive because the usage patterns are often not what was originally envisaged.

I have a column with type datetime in an employee's table. I want to delete the records that older than 3 working days. The problem is I can't use getdate()-3 in where clause because I don't know about the holidays and all.. Can anyone help me out ?
Regards,
Zishan

Can't I use some kind of loop in the SQL 
|

Assuming you have a table called Holidays with the a column containing the date of each holiday you could write a query like this:
DECLARE @days int;
SELECT @days = COUNT(*)+3 FROM Holidays
WHERE HolidayDate <= getdate() AND HolidayDate >= getdate()-3
You can then use the @days variable to count back the number of days. For example:
DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE somedate < getdate-@days
Does this help?
