Everyone has their own SQL syntax...
You might want to try PostgreSQL[.org] instead. You can use it as a back-end to MS Access, so it should be more compaitble than MySQL.
If you're using SQL server, PostgreSQL is a better match for you anyway.
(And no, I know of no tools)

No thanks, postgresql spammer. Get a real database.

Indeed I am a PostgreSQL 'spammer'. I do this because when people think open source database they think MySQL is the flag ship. Indeed it is not. PostgreSQL can compete with Oracle on Features while having respectible speed. It's just the most popular because it's always been an easy install under most platforms.
Am I to assume going to assume you prefer the worm-ridden MS SQL server? I think it might be good to mention now that I also think Oracle is good as well, but since this guy was using a MySQL database, it'd be a good assumption he want to stay cheap and free.
What do you suggest is a 'real' database?

Hi everybody!
I'm new to ADO and I want to create an MFC Application using ADO for my database manipulation. So I started with an easy example.
In the example, I need to write:
#import "c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\mmado15.dll" no_namespace
rename("EOF", "EndOfFile")
But that doesn't work! I have a error tolding me that WS.NET cannot find msado15.dll.
So I looked at my path and make a research for it and I realize that msado15.dll do not exist.
So where can I find it?
thanks for helping.
Everything's beautiful if you look at it long enough...

Your example has msado15.dll mispelled. Try this:
#import "c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll" \
no_namespace rename("EOF", "EndOfFile")

msado15.dll is part of the MDAC[^] run-time.

Hi, all:
I am totally stuck, please help. I have a datagrid on the WinForm ( using C# ). I am trying to create a combobox for one of the columns. I use the technique described in MS KB Article 323167 ( coded in VB.NET) and I port the code to C#. It works fine for the existing rows. Whe I click on the * row ( i.e., try to create a new row) on the datagrid. The combobox seems there, but when I click on the down arrow, the combobox does not dropdown. Occasionally, I can get the dropdown, but when I leave the cell, the changed value goes to the previous row ( strange!). The primary key is AutoNumber, when I click on the new row ( with "*" in front of it), I sometime get little pencil in front of the row, but sometimes I do not get it except the autonumber ( almost like it does not treat as a new row ).
Has anyone use this combobox technique and work on the new row successfully? I include the code snippet ( handling the events) here, if you can spot anything I did wrong, please let me know.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Using string fields as keys is most of the time A Bad Idea.
Its not really clear from your table synopsis which is the "parent" and which is the "child" in your data logic. So i'll ignore what you've done and use a fictional example.
tblCompanies
------------
CompanyId (primary key, autonumber)
CompanyName
CompanyAddress
Company PhoneNumber
tblEmployees
------------
EmployeeId (primary key, autonumber)
CompanyId (foreign key)
EmployeeName
EmployeeInsideLegMeasurement
I hope that example makes it more clear.

thanks for ur reply jon.. the company table is the parent and the customer/employee table is the child.
the company data muz exist before the employee can sign up to be a member..
the data field for the companyID is alphanumeric.. and employees have problem remembering their company account number.. that's why i choose that they enter their company name instead.. this is to identify which employee from which company logs on.
any idea on how to go about designing a better database than the one i did earlier? any comments, suggestions will be deeply appreciated..

If you wanna make so that the employees enter alphanumeric strings, why don't you make a column with that and an ID column for key?

First of all:
1. What DB do you use? Oracle, SQL-Server, Access, DB2?
2. Post your error message (or error code)
3. Post your table-definitons
4. Post the INSERTs you tried.
Some things you should check:
1. Most DBs are case sensitive. So 'comp1' != 'Comp1' => master-key won't be found
2. Even if it sounds silly -> Check for typing errors!
3. Be sure to create a company before creating a customer for it.
4. You can only delete a record from tblcompany if no record of tblcustomer is referencing to it.
The included example should work (assuming accountnumber, customerid and contactnumber to be NUMBERS, the others VARCHAR)
INSERT INTO tblcompany VALUES(1, 'comp1', 'someaddress');<br />
INSERT INTO tblcompany VALUES(2, 'comp2', 'someaddress');<br />
<br />
INSERT INTO tblcustomer (companyname, username, password, name, contactnumber) VALUES ('comp1', 'uname', '***', 'name', 1);

i am using sql server2000. when i try to add a record to the database, the following error occurred:
"INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_tblCustomer_tblCompany'. The conflict occurred in database 'myDatabase', table 'tblCompany', column 'accountnumber'. The statement has been terminated."
i am sure that all the spellings are correct and there are no typing mistakes anywhere.
the tables involved are:
tblcompany
- accountnumber (primary key) : varchar
- companyname : varchar
- address : varchar
tblcustomer
- customerid (primary key, auto generated) : int
- companyname [foreign key] : varchar
- username : varchar
- password : varchar
- name : varchar
- contactnumber : int
the parent would be tblcompany whereas the customer table as the child.
i am using a stored procedure:
ALTER Procedure AddCustomer
(
@CompanyName varchar(50),
@Username varchar(50),
@Password varchar(50),
@Name varchar(50),
@PhoneNo varchar(50)
)
AS
INSERT INTO tblCustomer
(CompanyName, Username, Password, Name, PhoneNo)
VALUES
(@CompanyName, @Username, @Password, @Name, @PhoneNo)
RETURN
this is how i call the stored procedure:
Public Sub processRegistration(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim CompanyName As String = txtCompany.Text
Dim Username As String = txtUsername.Text
Dim Password As String = txtPassword.Text
Dim Name As String = txtName.Text
Dim PhoneNo As String = txtContact.Text
Dim ocm As SqlClient.SqlCommand
ocm = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("AddCustomer", SqlConnection1)
ocm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim pcompanyname As SqlClient.SqlParameter
pcompanyname = New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@CompanyName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50)
pcompanyname.Value = CompanyName
ocm.Parameters.Add(pcompanyname)
Dim pusername As SqlClient.SqlParameter
pusername = New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@Username", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50)
pusername.Value = Username
ocm.Parameters.Add(pusername)
.
.
SqlConnection1.Open()
ocm.ExecuteNonQuery()
SqlConnection1.Close()
End Sub
i have the company data in the tblcompany, but i juz couldnt add a customer to the customer table.
can anyone tell me wat is wrong?

The foreign key in tblcustomer references to the PRIMARY KEY of tblcompany. So it references to accountnumber and not to companyname. If you want to set a foreign key to companyname you must define it as UNIQUE in tblcompany and change the fk-constraint to point to companyname.

Hiya I am just wondering if anyone has come across this problem.
I have an SQL database which I read and write to. I write a number of items( Number, Planet Name )the first time to the database fine. The items go in fine and in order into their columns:
e.g 1. Jupitar 2. Venus 3. Mars 4. Earth
Then when I modify the table in some way, e.g like deleting all the items, and refill the table with the exact same code, they come out in a different order e.g
3. Mars 1. Jupitar 4. Earth 2. Venus
And I definitely have not changed the code and they are all definitely deleted. WEIRD!! I have also done this with ACCESS database and works fine every time, only wrong in SQL.
Does anyone have any ideas on this??

I think that you're just stuck with the way it returns them to you unless you tell it *how* to return the records to you. ORDER BY is your friend. I'm assuming that your "Number" field is your identity field. Just order by that. Your query would then be:
SELECT Number, PlanetName FROM Planets ORDER BY Number
As long as you always add them in, in the same order, you should get them back in the same order when using the ORDER BY Number clause.
Hope this helps.
