I ended up writing almost 140 lines of SQL code (using a cursor - what a pain in the ass) to accomplish my goal, but I'm still going to see if I can do it with a select statement, so I'll use Mr Potter's version of your suggestion.

Does anyone know if it's possible to control the T-SQL output from LINQ to SQL in any way? Specifically, I'd like to control the definition of the parameters created for sp_executesql when using variable-length data types (varchar, decimal, numeric).
VS 2008 defines the data types correctly by declaring the size when I drag and drop a table into the designer (O/R mapper?) for my dbml file. But that value isn't considered when the sp_executesql statement is generated. So the size of the gernated parameter is the size of the value passed in (ex. "test@test.com" becomes nvarchar(13) regardless of the size of the column in the database).
Thanks,
Mark

Ok, I've found one way to do this but it's hardly elegant and it doesn't allow you to take advantage of delayed execution:
DataContext.GetCommand returns System.Data.Common.DbCommand which allows you to access the Parameters collection where you can set the size. If you're using SQL Server you need to set Precision you'll have to cast the parameter to a SqlParameter.
After you've updated the parameter you can call ExecuteReader (don't forget to make sure the connection is open). Then use the DataContext.Translate<tresult(dbdatareader) method="" to="" convert="" the="" datareader="" ienumerable<t="">.
The problem is this doesn't allow for delayed execution because you can't update the actual command used by the query variable.

Just as an update, I've found a way to inject my workaround (read: hack) into the process in a way that is transparent to the consumer of my class. I'm going to create a class which wraps System.Data.Linq.Table<t> and create a custom implementation of the GetEnumerator() and GetEnumerator<t>() methods which will parse the expression tree (haven't proved this part of the concept yet) and determine the parameter mappings, then I'll be able to reflect over T (I'll have to cache the result of this for performance) to determine the correct value for DbParameter.Size.
When I've completed the ability to parse the expression tree I'll write an article on everything I've learned. Wish me luck!

I want to query a table for the previous date.
Not sure how to construct the WHERE statement.
Thanks,
|

The answer was;
WHERE [TimeStamp]>= Convert(varchar(10), DateADD(DAY, -1, GETDATE()), 101) AND [TimeStamp] < Convert(varchar(10), GETDATE(), 101)
This gave the info for the previous day only.

Hi all,
I have the following script to do a back up of SQL2005 database:
BACKUP DATABASE [Repo] TO DISK = N'C:\Program Files\repo.dat' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'repor-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
When i try to look for Repo.dat file under C:\programfiles i cant get it.
Please advice
Thanks

SQL Server would save it to the filesystem on the machine in which SQL Server is running, not on the client box from where you issue the backup command.
Take care,
Tom

I went on a course for Reporting Services last month. The trainer just went through the Reporting Services step-by-step book. I could have done that myself.
If you are paying for this yourself, I recommend that you buy the Step-by-Step book and then take a week off to study it.

hey everyone i am getting this error on sql server 2005:
" An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server )"

set the remote connection...

You must enable remote connections for each instance of SQL Server 2005 that you want to connect to from a remote computer. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
2. On the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
3. On the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections page, expand Database Engine, click Remote Connections, click Local and remote connections, click the appropriate protocol to enable for your environment, and then click Apply.
Note Click OK when you receive the following message:
Changes to Connection Settings will not take effect until you restart the Database Engine service.
4. On the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections page, expand Database Engine, click Service, click Stop, wait until the MSSQLSERVER service stops, and then click Start to restart the MSSQLSERVER service.

hi there,
i m using sql server 2005, and i wanna know how can i change primary key data
for example :
i have 3 tables
1. have 3 columns(EmpID, Salary, RegID)
where EmpID is Primary key and RegID is unique Key
2. have 2 columns(EmpID, Work)
where EmpID is Foreign key
3. have 2 columns(EmpID, Status)
where EmpID is Foreign key
now i wanna change EmpID in all 3 tables,
so i try do it something like this, as i know it will give error and wont work
Update Table1 set EmpID = XX where RegID = XX
can someone tell how can i do this... mean if i change EmpID in table 1 then it automatically change EmpID in others tables
is it possible? or any other way?
thanks

Well, its a bit of a strange thing to do as primary keys aren't supposed to change and the foreign keys are there to maintain integrity between tables.
I think you'd need to drop your foreign key constraints, perform the update on the main table, then perform updates on table 2 and 3 so everything points to where it should and reintroduce your foreign keys.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

If you specify ON UPDATE CASCADE option when creating the foreign keys, updates to Primary key will reflect in Foreign keys.
Check MSDN to know how to specify this option using T-SQL code or management studio.
