Is there any specific software one has to use to be able to use SQL in Visual Basic .NET?
I have Visual Basic .NET and Access 2000. Do I need anything else?

Nope, you have all you need. See the documentation on OleDbConnection, OleDbCommand, OleDbDataAdapter, OleDbDataReader etc.
Note that the .NET Framework requires a minimum of MDAC 2.6 for the SQL Server data provider, but this isn't applicable in your case. It's probably not a bad idea to use that version, though.

Thanks!
What is MDAC?

MDAC is Microsoft Data Access Components.
Yo can find it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/Default.asp?contentid=28001860
For accessing MS Access databases, I have used the ODBC Data provider, which is faster.
You can find more information at:

If I have the code in my stored proc:
print 'Hello'
Is the string hello retrieved? in my case, does my asp.net code acquire the value 'Hello' when it calls the procedure?
'Hello World'

My handy reference Inside SQL Server 2000 says that a PRINT statement is returned as a message with severity 0. It looks like you can trap these by handling the SqlConnection's InfoMessage event. Note: not tested.
If you need to return a string as a result set, use SELECT instead.

I have been working on a simple expression and can't get a good map of it.
I have a table, ASDATA1, with 6 fields that represent portions of an address that I need to all look like 1 field in the view. How can I make 6 fields appear to be one without changing the underlying stucture of the database, as this is updated quarterly by another process.
I have this as my starting point,
SELECT OWNER_NUMBER, OWNER_SUBNUMBER, OWNER_DIRECTION, OWNER_STREET, OWNER_STREET_TYPE, OWNER_DIRECTION_2, OWNER_APARTMENT
FROM ASDATA1
Thanks to all of the guru's out there!
You are only as good as your last project.

This is T-SQL, not sure if it works on other DBs...
select
(OWNER_NUMBER + ' ' + OWNER_SUBNUMBER + ' ' + OWNER_DIRECTION + ' ' +
OWNER_STREET + ' ' + OWNER_STREET_TYPE + ' ' + OWNER_DIRECTION_2 + ' ' +
OWNER_APARTMENT) as Owner_Address
from ASDATA1
Just concatenate all the fields together using the + operator and put spaces between them. You can use any character to seperate them, doesn't have to be spaces. Use the "as" keyword to rename the resulting field to whatever you want the field to be.

I just did try this under my SQL2000 and got all null responses. I should have mentioned my platorm, as I am sure Microsoft has there own little tricks inside the platform.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
You are only as good as your last project.

Sorry, should have mentioned that if you have any null fields, you will get null results. If you concatenate to a null field, it makes the result null (no matter what is in the other fields). Are any of the fields not nullable? You can either...
A. Add a where clause to get the records where nullable fields are not null. i.e.
where OWNER_DIRECTION_2 is not null
The problem with this is you won't get records that you should get.
B. Use a case statement inside the query. This seems like a lot of typing, but it should work.
select
( case when OWNER_DIRECTION_2 is null then '' else OWNER_DIRECTION_2 end )
Do this for each field that is nullable. What this does is if the field is null, it returns an empty string (the ''), otherwise it returns the field's value.
To put it together...
select
(
case when OWNER_NUMBER is null then '' else OWNER_NUMBER end + ' ' +
case when OWNER_SUBNUMBER is null then '' else OWNERSUBNUMER end + ' ' +...
I'll let you finish it.
Good luck

Or even better: (From MS SQL2K BOL)
COALESCE
Returns the first nonnull expression among its arguments. Use like this:
<br />
SELECT COALESCE(OWNER_NUMBER, '') + ' ' + COALESCE(OWNER_SUBNUMBER, '') + ...<br />
I'll also let you finish it.

Probably a problem with some of the values beeing NULL. Any string that is added to NULL (and vice versa) will give the answer NULL, if not otherwise set up in either database options or connection specific options.
You can decide the behaviour of SQL Server when adding strings with NULL. The settings for this come in two forms. One for setting it for one specific connection:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF
And one for setting the default for the database as a whole, and all connections to it (unless a connection specific setting reverses this):
EXEC sp_dboption 'some_database', 'concat null yields null', 'FALSE'
The two examples above, both set up SQL Server to treat NULL as an empty string when adding to other strings.
See MS SQL2K BOL for more info on this ("CONCAT NULL YIELDS NULL")...

Hi,
I'm trying to create an extension dll that references a
database via ADO,
using VC 6(SP 5). The problem comes when the application
is exited and
it prints the following error:
'Unhandled exception in <application> (MSDART.DLL)
0xC0000005: Access Violation'
This happened two times. Once when i try to
release 'Connection' or 'Recordet',
second after my dll's db's class destructor, if i comment
Releasing.
I was trying with three Mdacs. 2.7,2.7SP1, and 2.8. with 2
OSs. 2k(SP4) and XP(SP1)
but none of them resolved my problem.
I'm Sure that 'CoUninitialize' wasn't called before releasing, becouse
if I call "CoInitialize" ,before releasing, the return value is "S_FALSE", which mean "The COM library is already initialized on this apartment".
I'll be glad to see any ideas and pointers.
Best Regards:
KalliMan.

I'm sure there's something in the MSKB about this or related issues; something to do with what you can and can't call from the DLL termination function. It sounds like a dependency problem, trying to unload yours after MSDART unloads or something similar...

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your advice, but after 3 days search on net I could not find anything which may help me. I found that I'm not the first with this problem, too.
see 'http://forums.devshed.com/t36005/s.html'. Same problem, but no answer.
I cannot unload "MSDART.dll" before mine, because it's a SYSTEM dll.I have no access. (I get only ACCESS Violation )) ). I just know its description: "Microsoft Data Access - OLE DB Runtime Routines". bla bla...
Has anybody some other Ideas?

In that case, I'd be tempted to get the XP symbols and get a proper callstack for this to see where it's occurring, like in your DllMain, your app's WinMain, or whatever.
I wasn't implying that YOU were unloading MSDART, just that it was being unloaded first.
As a hack you might try and add a method to your DLL that allows you to cleanup any or all of your objects before you unload the DLL (if you're unloading explicitly anyway, you can put a call in to do this at that point). That would help you tell if it's related.

I thing, i found my solution.
Im my case the problem was, that I'm Using A Global DBManager's classes Variable,
from DLL which Load my DB DLL. Immediatly when I make it member in each class where used,
the problem DISAPPEAR,
Both DLL, are "implicted Linked"(i.e. export classes with (__declspec(dllimport))).
Strange, isn't it?
P.S. Avrything was Clear. Evrething was Released ... .

what is print in sql server 2000?
I have the ff. code:
declare @CurrentDate datetime
set @CurrentDate = 2003/7/11
print @CurrentDate
The query returns:
Jan 27 1900 12:00AM
-----------------------------------------------
Is this returned value the same as the ones returned by a select statement?
What is this basically used for?

Under SQL Server 2000, is it possible to review the transaction log for a specific database? If so, how?
Semper Fidelis

On http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Undoc/SQL2000UndocDBCC.htm[^] I found this:
8. DBCC log
This command is used to view the transaction log for the specified database.
Syntax:
DBCC log ( {dbid|dbname}, [, type={-1|0|1|2|3|4}] )
PARAMETERS:
Dbid or dbname - Enter either the dbid or the name of the database
in question.
type - is the type of output:
0 - minimum information (operation, context, transaction id)
1 - more information (plus flags, tags, row length, description)
2 - very detailed information (plus object name, index name,
page id, slot id)
3 - full information about each operation
4 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump
of the current transaction log's row.
-1 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump
of the current transaction log's row, plus Checkpoint Begin,
DB Version, Max XDESID
by default type = 0
To view the transaction log for the master database, run the following command:
DBCC log (master)
Also, there are some third-party tools that will let you look into, and manipulate db-logs...

Hi all,
I am working on a tool to execute sql files(something like Query Analyzer) using ADO.Net & C#. I try to add a function which can cancel any executing queries. To achieve this, I think I need to use multi-thread. I want to create a thread to execute the sql, meanwhile, if user click the cancel button, then create another thread to stop it. I believe it can work, but because I am a very beginner in these(ADO.Net, C# & multi-thread ), I can not work it out now. Please help!
Thanks in advance!
