Isn't the problem that your Windows account doesn't have permissions to access the SQL Server?

The article explains how to grant these permissions.

WHERE Clause's Column from a Parameter [modified]

Hello folks,

I am a Newbie. I know I could just do this dynamically, however I am looking for any possible way to keep as much stuff declared at design-time as possible (just a personal preference).

I want to do as is illustrated below -- using the 'Employees' table from the 'Northwind' database. My environment is VS.NET 2005 with SQL server 2005, language is C# and page is ASP.NET.

Basically, I have a DropDown with "City" and "LastName" as the choices, next to a TextBox. The user picks either of the field names in the DropDownList and then types a search filter in the TextBox. I want to use a Parameter to specify the column name and a Parameter to specify the value to search with a WHERE clause. The value is replaced with its appropriate SelectParameter but not the field to search, i.e. the code below is not working:

Default.aspx:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>City</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>LastName</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="220px"></asp:TextBox><br />
<br />
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="EmployeeID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" InsertVisible="False"
ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="EmployeeID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="LastName" SortExpression="LastName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName" SortExpression="FirstName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City" SortExpression="City" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [EmployeeID], [LastName], [FirstName], [City] FROM [Employees] WHERE ([@Field] LIKE @Value)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="Field" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String"/>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox1" Name="Value" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Is there something I am doing wrong? Am I not allowed to say, i.e. SelectCommand="SELECT [field1] [field2] FROM [mytable] WHERE [@param] = @value" where @param upon replacement, specifies the field's name? It is not getting replaced, so naturally SQL Server complains with the error:

Invalid column name '@Field.'

What's up? Why cannot I use a parameter when specifying a field in a WHERE clause?

Count errors and not display any less than a value

I have this query that works as it is. I want to modify it so that I do not see Alarm errors less than 50.

I guess it would have to be a sub query to this;

SELECT WaysideName, ST, AlarmMessage, COUNT(AlarmMessage) AS Error_Count, CONVERT(char(10), EventDate, 111) as ErrorDate
FROM AlarmsList
where EventDate >@StartDate and EventDate <dateadd(day, 1,@enddate)="" and="" alarmmessage="" not="" like="" ('%off')="" ('%restored')="" <=""> 'OPERATIONAL AND HEALTHY'
GROUP BY WaysideName, ST, AlarmMessage, CONVERT(char(10), EventDate, 111)

Thanks,

Try this:

SELECT WaysideName, ST, AlarmMessage, COUNT(AlarmMessage) AS Error_Count, CONVERT(char(10), EventDate, 111) as ErrorDate
FROM AlarmsList
where EventDate >@StartDate and EventDate 'OPERATIONAL AND HEALTHY'
GROUP BY WaysideName, ST, AlarmMessage, CONVERT(char(10), EventDate, 111)
HAVING COUNT(AlarmMessage) >= 50

Adding the HAVING clause modifies the query so that only rows with an alarm message count >=50 are included in the output.

Thanks. The important thing to remember here is that the WHERE and HAVING clauses provide different ways of filtering the output of a query.

A WHERE clause is used to filter non-aggregated data.
A HAVING clause is used in conjunction with a GROUP BY clause to filter data aggregated in that GROUP BY clause.

Nested Stored Procedure

Hi!
I have the following two stored proceures:

SP1:

Create PROCEDURE SP1
	@arg1 varchar(100),
	@arg2 varchar(100) out
AS
BEGIN
SET @arg2=arg1+': SP1 Data'
return
END

SP2:

Create PROCEDURE SP2
AS
BEGIN
Declare @argloc varchar(100)
EXEC SP1 'SP2 Data',@argloc
print @argloc
END

On calling SP2 i want result like:

SP2 Data: SP1 Data

But it returns:

SP2 Data

How can can i fix this problem?
Thanks!

This should work:

Create PROCEDURE SP2
AS
BEGIN
Declare @argloc varchar(100)
EXEC SP1 'SP2 Data',@argloc OUTPUT
print @argloc
END

You needed to mark @argloc with the OUTPUT keyword in order for this variable to receive the output value from SP1.

Is there any mechanism to refresh a dataset automatically when the data source ,lets say
a table in SqlServer, is updated, deleted or inserted. No periodic fill or execuete a sql statement please.

Thanks

I don't know when the original data source is updated by other user or
an other aplication.
My project is going to be part of a plant automation system. So the events from the
plant level my arise in very short time duration or too long. It depends on the condition
at that moment. So if I periodically fill my data set, what will be the period?
It is very difficult to gess id advance. Having it too short will bring unnecessary workload
for the system. Or having it too long will cause to miss the some indermediate update in
the data source.

I am not very good on Ado.Net. I need to know ,if possible, can I have my client application
to refresh its dataset (automatically) from the data source when it is updated.

Thanks for reply, anyhow

Why would you want to do this? If you have SQL Server 2005, install the SQL 2005 client tools.

Actually you are not giving the size of varchar so by default it will take varchar(1) and you will not be able to insert the record which is greater than 1 character. You have to do like this:-

Create Table Purchase (Name varchar(50),Amount numeric(10,2))
