What I mean is that if I do the select with an select into statement it will create a new table for me with the result. I dont have an update statement, because all the ones I tried generates errors

UPDATE test_user
SET no_answered = SUM(answered)
FROM test_answer
WHERE user_id = test_answer.user_id I haven't tested this, but it's along these lines.

I'm not particularly sure that this is what you want.
You want to update or insert into the test_user table depending on the records in test_answer, right?
If that is the case, this might be the answer:
INSERT INTO test_user (user_id, time_answered)
(
SELECT user_id, SUM(answered)
FROM test_answer
WHERE answered = 1 AND user_id NOT IN (SELECT user_id FROM test_user)
GROUP BY user_id
);
UPDATE test_user
SET time_answered = SUM(answered)
FROM test_answer
WHERE test_answer.user_id = test_user.user_id;

THE SHORT VERSION OF THE QUESTION
How would I leverage SQL Server 2005 Notification Services to notify my asp.net page (or control) that the data it has cached is out of date? The Notification Samples get into specific data (stock prices) being updated past a target value which is a little too detailed for what I want. I just want to be notified when a table change has occured and should expire my cache that is dependant upon that data.
THE LONG VERSION OF THE QUESTION
So I have been reading up on new ways to cache with ASP.NET 2.0 and came across a good article regarding it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/SecFeatNT2.asp
It has a note in the article that states:
Note Microsoft SQL Server 2005 supports a completely different method of SQL Cache Invalidation. You can configure SQL Server 2005 to notify your ASP.NET application whenever changes have been made to a database, a database table, or a database row. This means that the ASP.NET Framework does not need to constantly poll a SQL Server 2005 database for changes.
After looking around for quite a while I discovered Notification Services within SQL Server 2005 which is rather cool in that instead of the ASP.NET application polling the server every so often it actually subscribes to the Notification Service and is notified if the event has occurred.
There are some Notification Services samples that one can install and play around with and I found the framework to be pretty flexible and like it a lot. However, I am still a little confused on how to accomplish the approach in the ASP.NET caching article using Notification Services.
Any direction or help would be appreciated.

Hi Everybody
Is it better to apply a single complex query than multiple queries.
Has Any body any idea
|
|
|
|

Perhaps if you broke your complex question into multiple understandable questions, someone will provide an answer.

I wanna fetch some data from a database. The data I want is lying in different tables.
My Question is
Is it better to use a single query containing joins than using different queries to fetch that data
|
|
|
|
|
Use the joins. Joins are not in themselves complext, however the data model can be.

If you mean, "is it going to be easier to run multiple queries", then the answer to that is also "yes, almost always".

I want to write a function what use ado.net update database. in the function,
it can check record automatically then insert or update database.Have some better method?
|
|
|
|
|
Create a stored procedure that does the check and if acceptable insert or update the record. Call the stored procedure from your .NET application.
If necessary you can return success or failure values back to your .NET application if you need to know if the insert/update was successful or if the check denied the update and so on.

I think you are too late - Microsoft already named it C# (if you notice the # symbol can be made up of 4 + symbols)

About C# being the next generation of C++? Only partly. Microsoft did use the sharp (it is supposed to be the musical sharp Unicode 266F rather than the hash character) because it can be split into 4 plus symbols. And Microsoft are selling it on the idea that it is a step forward from C++

Yeah! I know all those curly braces are really horrible.

Have you been taking Enlish lessons from an American? Lets take a noun "beauty" and modify it so it is.... A noun! Ergo: Beautiness. It like color becomes colorize (for a verb) and colorization (for a noun) despite the fact that color is both a verb and a noun.
As for C++, what IS beautiful about C++?

Not as silly as VB.NET!

I've heard of 'D' already. However, it is unlikely to put food on my table or a roof over my head so I'll stick with C# thanks.

Hi, writing what should be simple enough programme to access MS Access table in C. Using Borland (unfortunate constraints dictate this). I have downloaded all the neccesary header files and SDKs available for ODBC. Programme is written and compiles without errors or warnings however when I ask to make or build project. All my SQL functions are declared unresolved by the linker. I think I might be missing a file called bodbc32.dll, a link library for Borland when using ODBC.
Below is an example of the error message.
[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'SQLBindParameter' referenced from C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\LAWRED2\MY DOCUMENTS\WORK FOLDER\PROGRAMMES\SERIAL\SERIALREADER.OBJ
If someone could explain this. Maybe it is the fact I am missing the link library. Anyone know of it, have experience of this sort of lark, anyone have that file. Google doesnt give one page about bodbc32.lib.
Help!!
|

You are missing a required .lib file for linking. I think if you check the file SERIALREADER.c (or what ever source type it might be), it is likely #including a header file like bodbc32.h or something like that. If you can then find the location of that header file, there should be a directory above that include directory,like 'LIB' that would normally contain the .lib file to link with.
That's my best guess to start with.

O.K., here's my question, and please forgive me if it has been asked before. I have a database that that stores user details (username / PAssword) in an Access database in a table called Trader, I am wring a front end application in C# (first time!) that needs to get from a user via a window form and store the values in variables i.e.
string Password(label Password)
string Username(label Username)
now I want to compare those values enter by the user above to the table Trader, to check if the values match, how do I go about doing that??
here is as far as I got:
// Specify SQL Server-specific connection string
SqlConnection thisConnection = new SqlConnection(....)
// Open Connection
thisConnection.Open()
// Create comand for this connection
SqlCommand thisCommand = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
// Specify SQL query for this command
thisCommand.CommandText = "SELECT UserName, Password from Traders"
// Execute thisReader for specified command
SqlDataReader thisReader = thisCommand.ExecuteReader()
// While there are row to read
while (thisReader.Read())
{
What do I do here? how do I programatically compare my values taken from
from the user(via the C# Form - UserName / Password to the values stored
in the table that I want to compare with? All the examples I can find
output the values via Console.WriteLine()??
I hope this is not to long!

You might find it better and more efficient to plug those values into the query rather than get everything in the table and compare them on the client end.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Traders WHERE UserName = @UserName AND Password = @Password
You then add Parameters to the command for @UserName and @Password
Then you can use:
int count = (int)thisCommand.ExecuteScalar();
A value of 0 indicates no match, or 1 indicates a match. If the value is anything else your database contains duplicated UserName/Password combinations.
Does this help?

whether it is console app or web app or win app, connecting to sql server is gonna be same. check your connection string

I'm sure about my connectionString "server=myserver;userID=sqluser;password=itspassword"
|
|
|
|

i think you are missing Database. When the user is created in SQL Server, we can setup the default db also. If you dont, it will be 'MASTER' db. I think that is why you get Permission error. Include database also in the connection string.

A sample of your code would be helpful. Your connection string is missing the database name "Data Source = 'Server Name';Initial Catalog = 'Database name';User =;Password ="....
Is the server set up for mixed/SQL security? if not this will fail...
