Just a WAG (Wild Ass Guess  )
Change to
cmdSelectConfigurations.Parameters["Config_Type"].Value = "%" + Search.ConfigType + "%";

I have tried all possibilities to write the value of the parameter.
Finally,I have changed the size of the parameter from 10 (the size of the field in the table to 12), and now the query is OK!
I am not sure that is a good solution, so maybe I will do a stocked procedure...

I am working on a product where depending on some metadata associated with a table column my presentation of the table contents changes. For example a user may say a column is bold and in the reports it should be printed bold.
If the table schema is fixed I could have done this by maintaining another table which maps a column with its display attributes. Problem with this scheme is both my table structure and the display attributes are user configurable.
So I think the best solution will be if I could make use of any built in database functionality to store the metadata. For example MS SQL Server has a description associated with each table column, which I can (hopefully) manipulate programmatically.
I would like to know is there a universal way to store and retrieve metadata about a database table column?

You would have to maintain your own metadata. You could, for ease, link it to the existing metadata.
You could create your own metadata table with this schema:
CREATE TABLE MyMetaData
(id int,
colid smallint,
is_bold bit....) -- Add your own metadata as needed
The primary key is on id & colid
id is the iditifier from the sysobjects table (which contains a list of the tables umong other things)
Does this help?

Yes, I think this would work. Thanks a lot, man.
This is a better solution than my original idea, as it is extensible. The only minor problem it would have - if users delete columns from their tables, the corresponding entries will unnecessarily remain in MyMetaData table. But this is a negligible problem.
Anybody else has any better/easier solution?

I have 2 select statements and both of them return a number, i need to add the result of both of them
Does any one know HOW-TO do this...

SELECT A.A+B.B
FROM (SELECT 1 as A) AS A
INNER JOIN (SELECT 2 as B) AS B ON 1=1
For this to work each subquery (the selects inside the brackets) must return exactly one row only.

U can try something like
create view vwtest as
select A.X S from Table A where <condition>
union
select B.X S from Table B where <condition>
select sum(S) from vwtest
cool man

Hi all,
anyone know if there is a way to convert an SQL Server script (i think it's TSQL?) to an Oracle script (i think its PL/SQL)?
Converting it by hand is giving me a royal headache.
Thanx in advance.

Problem:
Password text is shown in ConnectionString property of ADODB.Connection when using an OLEDB provider and specifying Persist Security Info=false.
Applies to:
ADO, OLE DB Provider
Description:
According to MSDN documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adosql/adoprg04_97g9.asp
If Persist Security Info is set to False at the time the data source is initialized, the data source cannot persist sensitive authentication information. Furthermore, a call to a property that contains sensitive authentication information, such as a password, returns a default value instead of the actual password.
After the data source has been uninitialized, sensitive information that was set when the data source was initialized with the Persist Security Info property set to False still cannot be obtained from the Properties collection or by persisting the uninitialized data source object. However, new properties set after the data source object has been uninitialized can be persisted or obtained if Persist Security Info is set to True.
Before the data source is initialized for the first time, sensitive information can be obtained from the Properties collection, and can be persisted, regardless of the setting of the Persist Security Info property. Therefore, sensitive applications should avoid passing uninitialized data source objects.
However, password text is shown in the ConnectionString property after an error occurs or when asking for ConnectionString after the ADO Connection has been closed.
The following code shows how to reproduce the problem:
private sub tryConnection()
Dim adoConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim sSql As String
Dim sConnectionString as String
Dim rstConsulta As ADODB.Recordset
Dim pwd As String
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set adoConn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rstConsulta = New ADODB.Recordset
‘//Any SQL statement
sSql = "select Count(*) from K_User " '//Change this for a valid statement
'//Declares the connection using Persist Security Info=false
sConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost; User ID=acdev;” & _
“Password=acdev; Initial Catalog=Keyadmin40; Persist Security Info=false;"
adoConn.Open (sConnectionString)
pwd = adoConn.Properties("password") '//pwd is blank, this is ok
MsgBox adoConn.ConnectionString '//password text is not shown, this is ok
rstConsulta.Open sSql, adoConn '//Executes ok
adoConn.Close '//Closes connection
‘//If the next line is uncommented, the message box will not show the password text.
‘//pwd = adoConn.Properties("password") '//pwd is blank, this is ok
MsgBox adoConn.ConnectionString ‘// The password text is shown, which is really bad.
Set adoConn = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
'//If an error occurs, for example the table name on the sSql string
'//does not exist
MsgBox Err.Description
MsgBox adoConn.ConnectionString '//password text is not shown, this is ok
adoConn.Close
MsgBox adoConn.ConnectionString '//password text is SHOWN, this is really bad
End Sub
Conclusion:
Password text is shown after the data source object has been uninitialized

Where does it say that the password is not shown in the connection string after the connection has been closed?
Documentation only talks about the Properties collection, not the ConnectionString.
I'd say the class behaves as specified and documented...

Im trying to add an expresion which adds a value to the column records
something like this:
datacolumn1.Expresion = datacolumn1 + 10;
and i get an exception ,how can i do this?
|
|
|
|
|
Use like this.
dataColumn1.Expression = "datacolumn1name + 10"
|
|
|
|
|
this is what i ment , and it doesnt work if the columnname is the same as the column you give the expresion to.
this is the exception i get : Cannot set Expression property due to circular reference in the expression.

I'm trying to connect to DB from Java, I'm doing it exactly like in The Java Tutorial and I'm getting this exception:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
What does it mean, and what's with the "default driver"?? There isn't anything about drivers in that tutorial... :/ And about that strange url strings neither... :/

I have a function in an SDI MFC (no .NET) application that needs to return data in an ADO Recordset. There is no database involved. I simply want to use the ADODB::_RecordsetPtr type as my return type.
How can I create the recordset without a database, connection, session, etc?
Thank you for your support.
|
|
|
|
|
See the ADO wrapper library here.[^]
Use the parameterless constructor to create the recordset. Use AppendField to puplulate the columns, then OpenDisconnected to open it for adding rows, etc. You will likely need to add a function to clone and return the member m_pRecordset (_Recordset*), but the existing Clone function should show the way...

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I can't afford to add the overhead of this project just to get a recordset.
All I'm looking for is a way to create a recordset without a connection, session, etc. This must be a simple thing for someone who works with ADO everyday, but it is a puzzle for me!
|
|
|
|
|
First, it's not that much overhead.
second, you could just examine the source and look at the functions i mentioned to see how they are imlemented. The OpenDisconnected does just what you are looking for.
If you dont wan/need the whole libratry, just copy the couple of functions you need into a trimmed-down class...

I want to develope a small db app in vc++6. My only requirement is that my users not have to install anything other than my app (and maybe a later version of mdac).
Is ADO okay for this?
Can someone recommend a good book about it?
