When I look around, I find that there are alot of ways to accomplish the same thing. Some argue that one way is better than the other, and vise versa. But I feel that there must be a way that is appropriate and sufficient, without any fancy hacks 
All I need is to be able to access a data store, located on a server in a LAN, from any number of client machines. Just like I would access a database on a webserver from an asp.net app. I just don't know how to do it in a windows forms app, where the database is located on a LAN server. Maybe it's a simple answer, that makes me want to hide in shame. I just haven't been able to find it, and I have been looking around alot. Maybe my search criteria is bad, I don't know...
And don't worry, I'm not looking for a finished solution here, where is the fun in that? I just need to know a good way to establish a connection between a windows forms app and a database, in an environment such as the above mentioned.
No reason to walk down a dead end, if I can get the right directions from someone who's been there...

You just specify the name of the machine on the LAN. www.connectionstrings.com[^] may be of help for you.

I've never come across any "hacks" for getting database connections to work.

Since connecting to the database is the responsiblity of ADO.NET (the part of the .NET Framework that deals with databases) it is the same in a windows application as for an ASP.NET application. Remeber the .NET Framework is divided neatly into areas that can be used on their own to build a whole application. Unfortunately many samples and wizard generated code likes to mash all the different components together so that it is difficult for a person new to .NET to see where one bit ends and another bit starts.

I assume that SPLIT() is a UDF?
What does that function look like?

Yes SPLIT is a User Defined Function
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String nvarchar(4000), @Delimiter char(1))

AS

DECLARE @INDEX INT
DECLARE @SLICE nvarchar(4000)
-- HAVE TO SET TO 1 SO IT DOESNT EQUAL Z
-- ERO FIRST TIME IN LOOP
SELECT @INDEX = 1
-- following line added 10/06/04 as null
-- values cause issues
IF @String IS NULL RETURN
WHILE @INDEX !=0
BEGIN
-- GET THE INDEX OF THE FIRST OCCURENCE OF THE SPLIT CHARACTER
SELECT @INDEX = CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@STRING)
-- NOW PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT OF IT INTO THE SLICE VARIABLE
IF @INDEX !=0
SELECT @SLICE = LEFT(@STRING,@INDEX - 1)
ELSE
SELECT @SLICE = @STRING
-- PUT THE ITEM INTO THE RESULTS SET
INSERT INTO @Results(Items) VALUES(@SLICE)
-- CHOP THE ITEM REMOVED OFF THE MAIN STRING
SELECT @STRING = RIGHT(@STRING,LEN(@STRING) - @INDEX)
-- BREAK OUT IF WE ARE DONE
IF LEN(@STRING) = 0 BREAK
END
RETURN
END

Your @ExcelDataInXml string is longer than 4000 characters, and your Split function only accepts 4000 characters.

Hi,
I have an ID field and it has been set to increment by 1 every time a record is added.
When I exported this table to another database server, it "lost" this identity. Now when I tried to select Modify from the menu, I keep on getting a SQL problem and then management studio closes. So my only other solution is to use a sql script to change this identity to IDENTITY (1, 1).
How do I do this??
The table name is Orders, and the ID field is OrderID_PK int, this is the primary key.
How do I keep the identity as it is when I import a table from one database to another??
I am using SQL Server 2005.
Regards,
ma se

When you import the table, try Copy object and data between SQL Server databases rather than just Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database.
Check this out too: DBCC CHECKIDENT (Transact-SQL) [^]

Hi,
Iam using PUSH model to create my crystal report document.
The stored procedure which iam using returns a refcursor.
The first 3 columns of the table(FirstName,MiddleName and LastName) are combined as returned as single column,similarly columns address1,address2,city,state and zipcode are returned as single column.
Here is the Code:
OracleConnection cnOracle=new OracleConnection(connectionString);
cnOracle.Open();
OracleCommand cmdRegistrant = new OracleCommand("Pkg_WRTS_Retrieve.prc_getregdata", cnOracle);
cmdRegistrant.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
try
{
OracleParameter paramFirstName=new OracleParameter("i_first_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtFirstname.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramFirstName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramFirstName.Value=txtFirstname.Text;
OracleParameter paramLastName=new OracleParameter("i_last_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtLastname.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramLastName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramLastName.Value=txtLastname.Text;
OracleParameter paramCountyName=new OracleParameter("i_county_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,20,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCounty.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCountyName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCountyName.Value=txtCounty.Text;
OracleParameter paramCityName=new OracleParameter("i_city",OracleDbType.Varchar2,50,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCity.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCityName.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCityName.Value=txtCity.Text;
OracleParameter paramCompany=new OracleParameter("i_compent_name",OracleDbType.Varchar2,200,ParameterDirection.Input);
if(txtCompany.Text.Equals(string.Empty))
paramCompany.Value=string.Empty;
else
paramCompany.Value=txtCompany.Text;
// create parameter object for the output
OracleParameter paramResultSet = new OracleParameter();
paramResultSet.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.RefCursor;
// this the output parameter which is returned from the stored procedure
paramResultSet.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
// add the parameter to the collection
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramFirstName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramLastName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCountyName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCityName);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramCompany);
cmdRegistrant.Parameters.Add(paramResultSet);
//Execute the CommandWrapper
OracleDataAdapter daUserDetails=new OracleDataAdapter(cmdRegistrant);
dataSet = new DataSet();
daUserDetails.Fill(dataSet,"WRTS_REGISTRANT");
RegReport = new RegistrantReportViewer();
RegReport.SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables[0]);
//RegReport.SetDataSource(dsReport);
RegistrantViewer.Visible=true;
RegistrantViewer.ReportSource = RegReport;
When i run the application the field's name and address are not displayed in the report,but all the other columns are displayed.
I think its because the datatabe has a combined value of 3 columns but im not able to display it in report properly.Similar for address column also.
Can anyone tell me how to map the datatable column to crystal report column so that the data will be displayed?????
Any reply will be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Ratish.

hi,
How to overcome this error
"TRANSACTION PROCESS ID 63 WAS DEADLOCKD ON LOCK RESOURCES WITH ANOTHER
PROCESS AND HAS BEEN CHOSEN AS THE DEADLOCK VICTIM.RETURN THE TRANSACTION"
Pls reply
Kavitha

|
|

Do you understand how a deadlock occurs?
Steve
|
|
|
|
|
A deadlock happens because two processes are locking ojects that the other needs. Essentially neither can continue until the other has completed. Since neither process can continue, then also neither process can complete. SQL Server will detect this and choose one process as the victim and cancel its transaction.
To prevent this happening in the first place you should try and ensure that all access to objects (e.g. tables) happen in the same sequence in all transactions. That is, if you have a transaction that updates table A then table B it will potentially deadlock with another transaction that updates table B then table A.

Hi,
i am geting this warning when i am sorting table through storedprocedure.
Warning: The table '#MM' has been created but its maximum row size (8186) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.
Plz help me out it's urrgent
|
|
|
|
|
SQL Server does not allow a row to span multiple physical file pages, which are 8KB in size. Therefore the row must be smaller than 8KB, minus a certain amount of per-page overhead, to fit on a single page. Temporary tables can potentially still be written out to disk, they just end up in tempdb's files.
The total size of all fixed-size fields, plus the maximum size specified for nvarchar, varchar and varbinary fields (plus a little overhead taken by nullable columns and the lengths and offsets of variable-length fields), exceeds the maximum allowed size. However, this is not in itself an error, because it's rare to use the maximum size of all variable-length fields in a single record. If you do, however, any INSERT or UPDATE statement where the lengths of the actual fields exceeds the limit will fail.
Solutions: reduce the number of fields in the table, reduce the maximum lengths of the fields, or change some fields to text, ntext or image types (which are allowed to be stored outside the page containing the rest of the row data).

I have SerialNumber(SN) ,city ,Country,version ,Region,,,etc in
parent table
For each SN in connectrix table there are multiple switch in
switch_header table. the details of switches are stored in
switch_details table.
For each switch we have different Frus that is stored in Fru table
that has information about fru details
I need to display Connectrix information along with their switches
and fru information as per search criteria.
When I Joined above 4 tables I am getting all the parent column as
repetation which I don't want to happen.
But some how user should understand the situation such that records
should return single SNO, and multiple switchsns ,multiple frus
I tried to populate data in heiarchial HTML table mannar using DataSet
But Gave up.
Is there any methodology from back end?
Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance.

This sounds to be more of a question for .NET group or something.
One option in SQL Server would be to output more than one recordset from a procudure or something, but you are still dealing with a display issue which has everything to do with the application and nothing to do with SQL Server.
Since it is in the ADO group. Look into Nested Repeaters and you should find your answer there.

i need to wirte these stored procedures
1-
Add recored to the table
2-
use the above sp's to add the full data for the item in the tables(ks_media_item ,ks_media_item_content)
3-
update the data in the table ks_media_item
-if the value of item_no not found print msg "record not found "
-the columns (update_By , Udated_Date)willfill
4-
Rturn the all data Based on the Item_No from the tow tables
the tables are :
Ks_Media_Item(Item_no,Description,Added_Date,
Added_By,Update_By,Updated_Date)
2-
Ks_Media_Item_Content(Item_no,content,Text_Length)
