Thanks., But if my application is getting enough traffic, it would be a problem.

There is a .NET Data Provider for MySQL

Yes this is what I meant.

I guess you misunderstood me. I was asking will that MySql dataprovider works with .NET 2.0 ? I heared it won't.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

Depends on the version of the "connector"[^] Some versions do work.

Thanks, So what do you suggest. Continue with ODBC or switch to MySQL connector ? Have you used MySQL connector ?

Go with the most specific thing. I haven't used either the ODBC Data Provider or the MySQL "Connector" Data Provider.

I have a set of procs I use to select data for an export to an accounting package API. Now I would like to modify these procs so that I can optionally also output the accounting data to a CSV file, to assist in regression testing. I see two options here:

1. Change the select queries to insert queries into temp tables, then optionally write the temp table through BCP, then always select from the temp table for output.
2. Encapsulate the select queries into a string, then optionally pass this string to BCP, then always execute the string.

Which method strikes the experts as better?

I've just tried the temp table method, and in BCP the server complains about the name of the temp table, then the proc goes on to select from the temp table, so it does exist.

SELECT blah blah...,
	TaxRefNo 
INTO 
	#cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp
FROM 
	[caCustomerForExport] 
WHERE 
	CustomerID in (select exportID from caExportID where exportItem = @partnerType)
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'BCP #cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp OUT "test.txt" -S(local) -T -c'
SELECT 
	*
FROM 
	#cpPastel_GetPartners_Temp

Hi,

I've spent hours trying to copy data from a table in database A to a similar table in database B.
My code doesn't return any errors but I simply don't get any rows in my db.

Can someone tell me how to do this ?

I'm using mysql as database.

Dim CnERP As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection = Febelfin.Administratie.Propertys.DatabaseConnectie<br />
Dim CnSite As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection<br />
CnSite.ConnectionString = "Database=databaseB;Data Source=host;User Id=nick; Password=test"<br />
'databaseconnectie was predefined ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Dim Cmd As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand<br />
Cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM opleiding WHERE opl_publiceren=1"<br />
Cmd.Connection = CnERP<br />
<br />
        Dim DTerp, DTsite As New DataTable<br />
<br />
        Dim AdaptErp As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(Cmd)<br />
        AdaptErp.Fill(DTerp)<br />
<br />
        Cmd.Connection = CnSite<br />
<br />
<br />
        Dim Cmd2 As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand<br />
        Cmd2.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM opleiding_nick"<br />
        Cmd2.Connection = CnSite<br />
<br />
        Dim adaptSite As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(Cmd2)<br />
        adaptSite.Fill(DTsite)<br />
<br />
        Dim CBsite As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommandBuilder(adaptSite)<br />
<br />
        For Each dr As DataRow In DTerp.Rows<br />
            DTsite.ImportRow(dr)<br />
            dr.SetAdded()<br />
            dr.AcceptChanges()<br />
        Next<br />
<br />
        DTsite.AcceptChanges()<br />
        CnSite.Open()<br />
        adaptSite.Update(DTsite)<br />
        CnSite.Close()<br />
<br />
        DTsite.AcceptChanges()<br />
<br />

.... so i've tried a lot, but nothing seems to work.
I'm probably forgetting something.

How come it does not insert the rows in the destination db ?

thanks !

I am not sure about the code you wrote , but one simple way to solve the problem fast is
1- write the code to get the data from the 1st table and print it on the screen, to make sure that the data is complete and correct
2- Now write a code to insert data on the second database and test it independantely ; to make sure that the insert is Ok!

3- Now form one procedure from the two parts you created in point 1 and 2

NOTE : be aware about the constraints , primary keys , and referencing to other tables
[You may want to delete the row from the original table and try to write it back to its original place using the same code you use to insert on the second database ; this will make you sure that there is no problem with the new code ]

Important : USE ONLY YOUR TEST TABLES NOT THE ORIGINAL ONES YOU DEPEND ON FOR YOUR BUSENESS OR SO. and have packups all the time

I have Access 2003. I need to write a C# app to import the contents of a (very simple) Access 2000 database. In this database are three tables, linked by primary keys. The keys have the datatype of 'number', but when I look at them in Access 2003, they are GUIDs. I can't work out how to write the SQL to get the records associated with a GUID. Based on some reading, I tried this:

OleDbCommand cmd = Myconnection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Records where Key = {GUID {" + clientKey + "}}";
dbReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

but the reader is always empty. What's the syntax for filtering on a number data type that turns out to be a guid ?

Thanks

I hope this isn't considered too much of a programming question, and the solution shouldn't involve any programming.

At the moment, two of us are testing related applications on local copies of our test database, to not get in each other's way. However, I would like to set up a shared, central test database, where I can be sure the configuration, i.e. versions of views and stored procedures, are consistent and can serve as a baseline for releases. However, I would also like us to be able to independently manipulate data, on separate copies of the data, with identical configuration.

So, I'd like all DDL operations to always be replicated, but all DML operations to remain local most of the time. What aspects of replication should I be looking at to achieve this?

I'd actually consider using this[^] if this is the way you want to operate. This way, you can synchronise your test database as and when you need to.
