The error really tells you the problem - Cannot open user default database which means your user is not set up correctly in SQL Server. Go in and see what your default database is set to, or change your connection string to specify the database you want to use.Bob

Ok, here is a silly one.
I have a ms access database that i want to manipulate through a datagridview in my VB .net app.
I have defined the appropriate field in the database as DATE/TIME, because i will make date filtering on the records through sql in my app.
Now when i add any record through my app, i always get a date format like 17/2/2010 0:00:00 in the datagridview, obiously because this is the format of the access database which is databound to the grid.
I DO NOT want the time part.
Is this doable or i am stuck with it ?
Thanks

Go to the offending table and open it in the design-view. Click on the DateTime-field and go to the properties. There's a Format property that controls how the data of this particular column is formatted.I are Troll

I would assign the responsibilities to the right parties: let the database hold the data and not worry about formatting, and let the application take care of the formatting; in this case, tell the DGV what format is to be used.Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles]
I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

+5, and goodmorning;
You're right. The native grid in Access 2007 doesn't support that, but if it's a VB.NET application than he's using a DataGridView - and not a grid on a native Access-form  I are Troll

I've already tried setting the formating in the database field.
It doesn't work

you can solve it by two ways.
1. Using the date column datatype's format property in Access database.(various formats like General Date, Long Date, Medium Date, Short Date, Long Time, Medium Time, Short Time)
2. using the DataFormatString property of bound column in gridview. (examples: DataFormatString="{0:MM-dd-yyyy}", DataFormatString="{0:MMM dd, yyyy}", DataFormatString="{0:ddd MM, yyyy}", etc )

That worked, thanks

Hi,
you can set the formatting specification for each individual column of a DataGridView. Here is a C# example:
dgv.Columns[1].DefaultCellStyle.Format="dd MMM yyyy";
which works fine as long as the field bound to that column is a DateTime (and not a string!)

Hi guys,
i'm kinda new in using MSSQL. I'm using MSSQL Server 2005. I've created the primary key on a field that auto generates. However, i need to disallow the same name inputed again. I think i might have to write a t-sql statement on the table. But i really don't know how to go about it.
Pls help. How can i achieve this?He who goes for revenge must first dig two graves.

That would be a Unique Constraint, somewhat similar to this example;
ALTER TABLE [MyTable]
ADD CONSTRAINT [UniqueConstraintName]

Hello everyone,
I have a MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and I want to restrict Login access to the database to only one specific domain account. How can I do this any ideas? because when I went to try and create a windows login and specified the domain account that I want it worked ok, but when then I tried to Login into the database again with a different domain account to test it still let me in. Is there some particular setting that I don't know about that anyone can help me with?
Thank you very much.

How to retrieve data from two different database with single query
|
|
|
|
|
Put the database in teh from clause:
select * from [database].[owner].[tablename]
select * from nortwind.dbo.customers
You can ommit the owner if you want:
select * from northwind..customers Wout Louwers
|
|
|
|
|
select t1.*,t2.* from database1name.dbo.tablename as t1
join database2name.dbo.tablename as t2
on t1.columnname=t2.columnname
where condition (if any)
|
|
|
|
|
| The responses you have assume that the databases are on the same server, in which case database.owner.tablename will work. If they are on different servers you have a problem, you need to set up linked servers, something I hate doing as the server is then hard coded into the query. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Good Day All
i have a Simple Query
select id,NodeID,Description,refParent from #nodes2
order by id ,refParent,description
this shows the following data
ID NODEID DESCRIPTION REFPARENT
======================================================================
0 149 Compulsory NULL
1 155 One of 0
2 156 GunningM 0
3 157 JonesJ 1
4 158 One of 0
5 159 D1127 4
if you can look in this table the Records ID 5 and 5 are fine but this record but
2 156 GunningM 0
is supposed to be under its parent which is the one with ID 0, so i want to sort it so that it can have the following results
ID NODEID DESCRIPTION REFPARENT
======================================================================
0 149 Compulsory NULL
2 156 GunningM 0
1 155 One of 0
3 157 JonesJ 1
4 158 One of 0
5 159 D1127 4

Your question makes no sense whatsoever.
Why should record ID 2 come above record id 1? There is nothing there that could possibly identify the fact that it should do.
And besides, your order by gives prescendence to the ID column:
order by id ,refParent,description
So even if there was something (such as an ordinal column) it would be ignored.
If there is a fake order that children must come in, then you will need to add a column for this and order by that column.

The record
2 156 GunningM 0
is a Child of the Parent 0 and it has no Children. So there are other records that have REFPARENT of 0 but they have children. So if the record has no child it must come close to its parent.Vuyiswa Maseko,

| Your ordering is wrong, you are ordering by id first so your results are in the correct order. To get the results you want, you will need to change the "order by" settings; probably to refParent first, then by id descending. txtspeak is the realm of 9 year old children, not developers.

| Can you please explain the criteria that cause the records with ID = 2 and ID = 1 to sort that way? Is it because there is no reference to that ID? Thanks. Chris Meech

let me Explain again. Here is my SQL Query that Produces that table till the end.
The First part that i run is this
Create table [#Nodes]
(id int IDENTITY(0,1),
NodeID int,
parent int,
[Description] varchar(128),
refParent int
)
INSERT INTO #Nodes
(NodeID, Parent, [Description])
select distinct n.ID NodeID, n.Parent, nTyp.Descr [Description]
from tbl_node n
inner join tbl_node_type nTyp on nTyp.ID = n.Type and nTyp.Descr in ('Compulsory','One of')
where n.curr = 10
union
select distinct n.ID NodeID, n.Parent, m.Descr [Description] --, n.Type, n.Curr, m.Descr
from tbl_node n
inner join tbl_node_type nTyp on nTyp.ID = n.Type and nTyp.Descr = 'Subject'
inner join tbl_modl m on m.id = n.modl
where n.curr =10
and it Produces the table #Nodes with the Following Records
ID NODEID PARENT DESCRIPTION REFPARENT
=========================================================================
0 149 NULL Compulsory NULL
1 155 149 One of NULL
2 156 149 GunningM NULL
3 157 155 JonesJ NULL
4 158 149 One of NULL
5 159 158 D1127 NULL
and in the next statement i create another temp table
select distinct nP.id as [id], nP.NodeID, nP.parent, nP.Description, nRef.ID refParent
into #nodes2 from #Nodes nP
left outer join #Nodes nRef on nP.Parent = nRef.NodeID -- look up the reference id of the parent
order by refParent,nP.Description
and the temp table #nodes2 will look like this
ID NODEID PARENT DESCRIPTION REFPARENT
============================================================================
0 149 NULL Compulsory NULL
2 156 149 GunningM 0
1 155 149 One of 0
4 158 149 One of 0
3 157 155 JonesJ 1
5 159 158 D1127 4
and i made a mistake here by posting a query without a parent Field, to modify that it looks like this
select id as [id2],NodeID,parent,Description,refParent
from #nodes2
order by nodeid,parent, refParent Vuyiswa Maseko,
