What data type is accountNumber stored in? What database are you using?
|
|
|
|
|
Data type is string and it is a sql express database.
Also, i cannot update the etries that already have a '000' prefix so i can do something like :
UPDATE TableName
SET AccountNumber = '000' + AccountNumber
WHERE AccountNumber NOT LIKE '000%'
Correct?

What you need to do is use the LPAD function in SQL Server to pad the number to a set size. So, suppose you want to have it padded out to 10 characters, you'd use
UPDATE TableName SET AccountNumber = LPAD(AccountNumber, 10, '0')

Hello,
I have this structure :
<br />
CREATE PROCEDURE external_sp<br />
AS<br />
BEGIN<br />
<br />
BEGIN TRANSACTION<br />
EXEC internal_sp @param1,@result out<br />
<br />
if( @result <> 1 )<br />
BEGIN<br />
COMMIT TRANSACTION<br />
END<br />
ELSE<br />
BEGIN<br />
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION<br />
END<br />
<br />
END<br />
The problem : inside the stored procedure "internal_sp" there is another BEGIN TRANSACTION block.
If this internal transaction block get rolled back, the outer transaction (in the external_sp stored procedure) fails.
How can i solve this issue ??
Any help will be appreciated...

Hello,
If you use internal transaction you don't need to use another
transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
?! And if i really need to nest transactions ??

HI,
I am using SQL SERVER 2005.
I need to find what is the best performance method for my 3 sql Data adapters.
first method:-
1) Open sql connection
2) Initialise 1st data adapter and fill for the data table 1.
3) Initialise 2nd data adapter and fill for the data table 2.
4) Initialise 3rd data adapter and fill for the data table 3.
5) Process my work
6) close connection.
second method:-
a) 1. Open sql connection
2. Initialise 1st data adapter and fill for the data table 1.
3. close connection.
b) 1. Open sql connection
2. Initialise 2nd data adapter and fill for the data table 2.
3. close connection.
c) 1. Open sql connection
2. Initialise 3rd data adapter and fill for the data table 3.
3. close connection.
d) 1. Use thread concept for a) ,b) and c) and take results for adapters.
2. process my work.
so can any one tell me what is the best performance method?
first method or second method?
Thanks

third method:-
2) Initialise 1st data adapter
3) Initialise 2nd data adapter
4) Initialise 3rd data adapter
1) Open sql connection
2) fill for the data table 1.
3) fill for the data table 2.
4) fill for the data table 3.
6) close connection.
5) Process my work
As to your second method... you do know that the DataAdapter will handle the open/close for you don't you?
Better yet, don't use DataAdapters, but that's another subject.
P.S. And why use separate ones rather than only one?

Hmm 2000 is a long time ago but I'd try this, attempt to connect using your existing IP address, when that does not work think about your question. If you are using a named server you may not need to change the connection information.

Hi,
I am using VS2008, and Sqlexpress2005; before uninstall VS everything works fine. I reinstall VS 2008 and install SQLEXpress 2005; then I tried to add my databse which got this error;however, I went through many articles on the internet but still the same problem. do you have any idea?
its the error
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"<br />

Thanks for the help!
Im a network guy (cisco)/Server admin and I would really like to become proficient with SQL.
I have a very VERY basic grasp of it, so if you could share some possible resources, and maybe some study material links that would be great.
If there is anything with practice labs that would be great. I all ready have a server setup with 2008 ready to be sacrificed.
Thanks for any incite!

This site has a quick reference guide to SQL. It has definitions, examples and some samples to try out: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
Picking up a book like "SQL: The Complete Reference" could help a lot too. It's packed with information, but you can kind of pick and choose if there are certain areas that you are focusing on. I know they have multiple editions out for it, but I haven't checked out the most recent edition.
I agree that rolling up your sleeves and digging into tutorials and labs is the way to go though. Good luck!

Buy a copy of Sql Server 2008 T-SQL Fundamentals by Itzik Ben-Gan published by Microsoft; It will give you a thorough grounding in T-SQL. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

These are all wonderful, thank you so much for the valuable incite!

Hi!
I'm using SQLite for my game. When a particular button is clicked,I've to get the selection of a list control and delete it from the list control and from the database. for this I'm using the following code and query.
if(m_pSelectProfileImage->getRelativePosition().isPointInside(m_MousePos))
{
stringw strtoDelete = profileList->getListItem(profileList->getSelected());
strtoDelete.make_lower();
strtoDelete.trim();
if(!strtoDelete.equals_ignore_case(L"default"))
{
irr::core::stringc testStr = "DELETE FROM profile WHERE name = '";
testStr += strtoDelete;
testStr += "'";
pManager->SQLdb.Query(testStr);
profileList->removeItem(item);
}
}
I execute the above line and open the database file using SQLite Database Browser to check whether the particular record has been deleted. It's not deleted. When I put a break point to verify the query, my list selection is there in the query(testStr). What might be the problem? How to delete a record?

Since your SQL query seems to be OK it could be one of two things. It could be that you conversion from strinw to stringc is doing something with the query (eg you are getting strange characters in your query because of conversion issues).
A second potential cause could be that the pManager->SQLdb.Query function doesn't actually execute the query but just prepares the internal object for execution (but I can't say this for sure as I have no idea what the buildup of that class is).
There is also a note in SQLite that case insensative unicode matching doesn't work see point 18.
I hope this helps you a bit along.

Please tell me you checked the disk space!
Is there a limitation on the size of xml files, does the parser support 50mb. I know we had to chop up a bunch of xml files a few years ago due to some obscure size limitations, I'm not sure if it was the xml or the application producing it.

Try saving on a smaller drive. Some applications check to see if there's enough drive-space available before saving and they sometimes fail on large numbers, claiming that the disk is full when it's not.
