For input parameters you don't need to set the length or the type...
SqlCommand cmd = ...;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ParamName", obj);
Have a look at my latest article about Object Prevalence with Bamboo Prevalence.

i don't know if this is the right place to post this, but is database related so i hope someone can help me ...
!!! all this is done in vc++ 6.0 using MFC/DAO !!!
i have a database with a table that has one numeric field called ID...
in my program, i assign a string to every value of this field...
so if the table has the following data
1
3
2
1
2
then my data will be in the following form
cow
chicken
wolf
cow
wolf
that is, every number has an assigned string.
the problem is that i want to store only the numeric field in the table and do all the processing in the program
so how can i have a recordset that contains the strings and to be able to sort it ?
another example :
i have a table that contains two fields : DATE and TEXT
but i want to have in my program three fields : DATE, TIME, and TEXT, where DATE and TIME is extracted from the DATE field in the database.
also i want to be able to sort by DATE or TIME in my program, so a database with folowing data
DATE TEXT
---------------- -----------

will show up like this in my program
DATE TIME TEXT
---------- ----- -----------
15/02/2001 12:28 Chris
19/02/2002 15:42 George
25/07/2003 09:48 John
and i should be able to sort by DATE, or TIME, or TEXT
i'm showing data using a CListCtrl (not virtual)
please can somebody help me up with this ?
thanks ! (at least for reading this)

The database load command has two functions:
1) It will be used to populate database tables from CSV files
2) It will be used to update database tables from CSV files
The command might be run in Sun Solaris (sparc) or in Windows 2000
machine. We are assuming that will not get local access to their database
server, the access is probably happen over JDBC or/and ODBC.
Database will be Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3.
Please note that a updated CSV file will be loaded to the database
once a month (the function 2) above). The load command should
not duplicate existing rows in tables, and it should not cause
production downtime, i.e. it must not just delete all existing rows
(or drop existing table) and create all rows from scratch as
that kind of update would cause production downtime.
I have included few lines from beginning of two of the CSV files.
As you can see, the first line in CSV file lists the column names.
The corresponding database tables will have same column names to
make things easier. All columns won’t be VARCHARs, some
of them will be floating point numbers (longitude and latitude must
be floating point numbers in the tables).

Not sure what your question is either 
But if you are asking for help creating this loading program, here's an article right here on code project that I found helpful.

Hello all,
I have a set of legacy applications that use dbaseIII+, containing English, as well as data in ISCII format. These have to be transferred to SQL Server. I am working on an XP with SQL Server 2000 installed.
In the DTS' Import/Export wizard, after the data source has been selected as 'Dbase III', the file name containing the data, and user name /password are asked.
( Ofcourse, dbaseIII+ in itself does not have any name/password. ) After giving the file name, if the user name and password are not given, the following error message comes up -
"Invalid date setting in the Xbase key of the Windows Registry".
If, along with the filename, the user name / password combination is entered (the one used at the time of logging in), then the following error message is thrown -
"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."
RegEdit on the key -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\jet\4.0\engines\Xbase - date
showed the data equal to 'MDY'. I changed this to 'MM/DD/YY'. Still no dice.
This same error of "Invalid date setting ..." appears when i try to do an import on the dbase file in Access 2003. Though, in the Access 2003/Import window, upon specifying the file type as 'dbaseIII', all
the files are listed properly, indicating that the files as such are being recognized correctly by the system.
What could be the reason for this problem, and how does one correct it. I appreciate any pointers that could resolve this problem.
Regards,
Sanjay.
P.S. : The dbf file does not have any dbt/index etc. It also does not have any date field. All fields are character.

Hi
How can I return the row no. in my query result?
Like the presentation of SQL analyzer in GRID VIEW, please help me…
e.g.
The first column represent the Row No.
---------------------------------------
| | field1 | field2 | field3 | --- this is the field header
---------------------------------------
| 1 | 1 | dsdfsf | sdfsdd | --- Result with 2 rows
---------------------------------------
| 2 | 1233 | asdfsf | wefsdd |
---------------------------------------
If you look at my sample the first column represent the row number.
If my query look like this “Select * From Table”,
How can I return the row number it self with my returning field and row value.
Mark

you should handle this display issue in your client code..
but if you insist to do this in SQL server .. ok
here is a sample :
set nocount on<br />
create table #tempResult<br />
(MyID int identity,col1 varchar(30),col2 varchar(30))<br />
<br />
<br />
insert into #tempResult (col1,col2) Select lastname , firstname from employees<br />
set nocount off<br />
select * from #tempResult<br />
drop table #tempResult

Hi,
I would like to find out how to delete, or at least modify a stored procedure. I'm using MS Access DB, and add stored procedure using C#.
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
I may be mistaken but: MS Access doesn't have stored procedures.
|
|
|
|
|
MS Access does have a kind of stored procedure. I did a test on it before and it worked.
The stored procedures are basically queries that can receive parameters, so you should find out how to create queries in Access using C#.
I specified SQL statements to create these 'stored-procedures' before and I suppose you can pass statements to create them from C#.

Thank you for your answer. However, I do know how to create stored procedures, I don't know how to delete them or modify them when they are defined already...
Thanks anyway...

Thank you so much! on both answers!

I'm trying to use the following code to create a backup set that would store the backup as 20040608.bak
USE master
GO
DECLARE @curdate as INT
SET @curdate = (SELECT CONVERT(char(12), GETDATE(), 112))
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk','MyNwind_1', 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\' + @curdate + ".dat"
-- Back up the full MyNwind database.
BACKUP DATABASE MyNwind TO MyNwind_1
I'm getting the following error
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Line 4: Incorrect syntax near '+'.
Why am I unable to concat the @curdate tot the string
|
|
|
|
|
Just a guess, but is it since you have @Curdate defined as an Int, and you're attempting to do a string concatenation on it?
Like I say - just a guess, but would personally try CASTing or CONVERTing @CurDate first....
BTW - there is also no need to create the dump device first - you can use the syntax:
<br />
BACKUP DATABASE NWind TO DISK='c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\'....<br />
"Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"

".dat" may need to be changed to '.dat' depending upon your SQL Configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
try this:
USE master
GO
DECLARE @curdate as char(8)
DECLARE @filePath as varchar(1024)
SET @curdate = (SELECT CONVERT(char(8), GETDATE(), 112))
SET @filePath = 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\' + @curdate + '.bak'
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk','MyNwind_1', @filePath
There are a couple of problems with your code. First, as already stated, you're trying to add an int to a varchar, which would cause problems. This isn't the error you're getting, but it would have been the next.
When you pass parameters into a proc via EXEC, you have to pass constants or variables. You can't pass expressions that must be evaluated. ("Path\" + @file + ".bak" would be an expression.)

I use C++, COM,
so sample from VB is good.
first- I need to enumerate SQL servers on network,
Especially interesting now:
and secondly to enumerate data bases within some SQL server,
how to do it?
Thanks.

When iam extracting a date from SQL Svr 7 and i want it to be in a specific format, isn't there a SQL command that will do the formatting?
system date '2004-06-09 13:43:41.363' i want this date in 'mm\dd\yy' format
If so, could you give me the syntax and the associated style codes.
Thanks
