If the field allows null then you can have a unique key constraint on it. BTW: aggregate functions ignore NULLs by design.

no...
I have a UniqueConstraint on a field called 'cve_unidad', this field has .AllowDBNull = true, and i put DefaultValue = null in this field, but, there is still a the problem... when i put two rows in then datagrid, the second null value raises the error message:
"Value Column 'cve_unidad' is constrained to be unique. Value '' is already present. Do you want to correct this value?"
this is a example:
cve_unidad | nom_unidad
(null) | 'un nombre' <-- here is ok
(null) | 'another nombre' <-- here raises the "already present" error
This is an "autonumeric-like" scenario, i want to send some values at once, then clear an refill the datagrid with the data (with de autonumeric updated). I don't want to use the .AutoIncrement properte beacuse the value displayed will not neccesary equals the autonumeric value in the database.
thanks

Using SQL Server 2000 here and I have a table named "Calendar" that is an auxillary table created using scripts found on the web. Basically, the calendar contains an entry for every day for the next several years that has a datetime field, fields for the day of the month, month of the year, the year, the week of the year, etc. I'm trying to write a query or set of queries to return the recurring dates if the user of a web app decides to schedule something on a recurring basis much like recurring appointments in Outlook Calendar.
The following query is what I am using to attempt to return the every 3rd Sunday starting on 01/01/08.
<br />
SELECT c.dt, c.dayname, c.monthname, c.M, c.D, c.Y, c.W<br />
FROM dbo.Calendar c <br />
WHERE c.dayname IN ('Sunday')<br />
AND c.dt >= '01/01/08' <br />
AND c.Y IN (2008, 2009) <br />
AND 0 = ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <br />
dbo.Calendar c2 <br />
WHERE c.dt >= c2.dt<br />
AND c.dayname = c2.dayname) % 3) <br />
ORDER BY c.dt<br />
GO
The query is returning every 3 sunday's but it's starting with Jan. 13th (the 2nd sunday) instead of Jan. 20th (the 3rd Sunday). After that, it is returning every 3rd Sunday but it is off by 1 week because of where it's starting.
What am I doing wrong? Also, what kind of modifications might I need to make to this to support the other recurring event patterns that can be found in Outlook? I've searched the web a lot for recurring events and all I can seem to find is how to create the auxillary calendar table that I created but no info on how to retrieve the dates that a recurring event should fall on.

I generated the calendar using scripts taken from this FAQ. Search the pdf for "calendar table" and it should take you to the right FAQ question. There are scripts to add in all of the holidays as well. You first need to create a numbers table with a sufficient amount of numbers in there as well.
http://www.aspfaq.com/downloads/ASPFAQ-2006-04-18.pdf[^]
Here's the scripts if you don't want to look at the pdf. It will give you a table consisting of 30 years starting with 01/01/2000:

Not sure why you would want to set up a table containing each date when the calculations are just as easy to write.
Have you considered adding a few more fields to your table:
1) DayNameIndexForMonth (i.e. 1st Sunday, 2nd Sunday, 3rd Sunday)
2) DayOfYear (i.e. This is the 74th day of the year)
3) Quarter (i.e. This day is in the 3rd Quarter)
This might make your queries a lot easier.
On the other hand, you can always calculate on the fly. With only 365 iterations per year, loops should execute quickly enough. Knowing that the 3rd 'Day Name' of every month will fall between the 15th and 21st day you can code it like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE RecurringDates_ThirdSunday
(
@Start DATETIME,
@End DATETIME
)
AS
DECLARE @curDt DATETIME
SET @curDt = @Start
DECLARE @t TABLE (GoodDate DATETIME NOT NULL)
WHILE @curDt <= @End
BEGIN
IF DATEPART(dw,@curDt) = 1
BEGIN
IF DATEPART(dd,@curDt) BETWEEN 15 AND 21
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @t (GoodDate) VALUES (@curDt)
END
END
SET @curDt = DATEADD(dd,1,@CurDt)
END
SELECT *
FROM @t
|
|
|
|
|
I guess he wants every third Sunday from the start date, not every third Sunday of the month. I had the same misunderstanding.
But, I like your method better than creating a table with every date between now and some arbitrary future date.
CREATE PROCEDURE RecurringDates_ThirdSunday
(
@Start DATETIME,
@End DATETIME
)
AS
DECLARE @curDt DATETIME
SET @curDt = @Start
DECLARE @t TABLE (GoodDate DATETIME NOT NULL)
WHILE DATEPART(dw,@curDt) != 1
BEGIN
SET @curDt = DATEADD(dd,1,@CurDt)
END
SET @curDt = DATEADD(dd,14,@CurDt)
WHILE @curDt <= @End
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @t (GoodDate) VALUES (@curDt)
SET @curDt = DATEADD(dd,21,@CurDt)
END
SELECT *
FROM @t

Is there anyway to take the whole condition part of WHERE clause as a parameter of a stored procedure ?
The result I want to gain is something that would be achieved by executing this stored procedure.Although this is wrong , I want to achieve the result.Is there anyway get this result ?
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_GetList
@condition varchar(50)
AS
SELECT * FROM Table_X WHERE @condition

Yor problem is not very clear what exactly you want? Do you want to fetch the recordset on basis of some condition, if so then that is where you can use "where" clause. Something like this:
select * from emp where empid = @EID
where @EID is the parameter to that stored procedure.
Best Regards,
Apurva Kaushal
|
|
|
|

No No no.
I want the condition to be like a variable for example this:
condition -> (column1='x' AND column2='y' OR column3='z')
I want the stored procedure to take the aformentioned condition as a varchar and use it in WHERE clause. To take the whole condition part of WHERE CLAUSE as parameter.
Is there any way
-- modified at 5:50 Monday 11th September, 2006
|
|
|
|
|
ya sure there is a way what you can do is create your where condition in front end, send that complete condition as string to the stored procedure. In stored procedure you take one variable(where the sql statement will be stored) and append the where string and then use sp_executesql to execute the complete string. 
Best Regards,
Apurva Kaushal
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much for your help.Could you please show me some basic code ?
|
|
|
|
|
Here a sample code which you can use in your stored procedure taken from sqlserver help:
DECLARE @IntVariable INT<br />
DECLARE @SQLString NVARCHAR(500)<br />
DECLARE @ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(500)<br />
<br />
<br />
SET @SQLString =<br />
N'SELECT * FROM pubs.dbo.employee WHERE job_lvl = @level'<br />
SET @ParmDefinition = N'@level tinyint'<br />
<br />
SET @IntVariable = 35<br />
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition,<br />
@level = @IntVariable<br />
<br />
SET @IntVariable = 32<br />
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition,<br />
@level = @IntVariable<br />
Hope this will serve the purpose.

Hi Everybody!
I am using VB6.0 & SQL Server 7.0
Following is my database Connection code
Dim db As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String
Set db = New ADODB.Connection
db.Provider = "SQLOLEDB"
db.ConnectionString = "server=SUNANDA;uid=sa;pwd=ranjita1;database=crm"
db.Open
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
sql = "Select * from AccountHead"
Set rs.ActiveConnection = db
rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rs.Open sql, , , , adCmdText
I have placed navigation buttons on my form, but the Next & Previous buttons are not working properly.
When I first time clicks the Next button , the recordset goes to the next record but when I click it second time, the record doesn’t get changed.
When I press the previous button, the recordset points to the first record, instead of pointing to the previous record.
Here is my code for navigational buttons :
Public Sub MoveFields()
txtAcId.Text = rs("AcHeadID")
txtAcName.Text = rs("AcHeadName")
txtAcMobile.Text = rs("Mobile")
txtAcEmail.Text = rs("EmailID")
End Sub
Private Sub cmdFirst_Click()
rs.MoveFirst
MoveFields
cmdPrev.Enabled = False
cmdNext.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmdLast_Click()
rs.MoveLast
MoveFields
cmdNext.Enabled = False
cmdPrev.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmdNext_Click()
rs.MoveNext
If rs.EOF Then
rs.MoveLast
cmdNext.Enabled = False
End If
MoveFields
cmdPrev.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmdRemove_Click()
rs.Delete
rs.MoveNext
If rs.EOF Then
rs.MoveLast
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdPrev_Click()
rs.MovePrevious
If rs.BOF Then
rs.MoveFirst
cmdPrev.Enabled = False
End If
MoveFields
cmdNext.Enabled = True
End Sub
Pls. tell me, where I am wrong.
Thanks

Hi
Dear Please first check where you write the code for recordset and connection.
Then try following code for your record movement
Next record
if not rs.eof then
rs.movenext()
....
end if
previous record
if not rs.bof then
rs.moveprevious()
.....
end if
If the problem is there then please post new message with you complete form code so I can sort your issue.

How will I then Edit the records?
Pls. help me out.
Thankyou.

Hi
Dear please concentrate on your following code
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
As you had open the cursor in Static mode there is no edit permission for this record set.
You gave to open the recordset in non static mode.
