Imports System.Data.SqlClient

        Try

    com.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" + Production.TextBox3.Text + ";Database=Database1;User Id=" + Production.TextBox1.Text + ";Password=" + Production.TextBox2.Text + ";"
            com.Open()

This is the procedure i'm using build the connection with my SQL SERVER. my DB has table called STOCKS_Details whose columns are fact1/fact2/fact3/total/DATE.So to do calculations i need to pick previous row DATE into a variable on a VB application. The Problem is how can I write the Query to retrieve value to the variable..

THANK YOU

Only Date value from the last record in the table.

Hi Sharath2790!

1. If ur table have identity column use

SQL

select max(@@IDENTITY) from Images

2. If ur table doesn't have identity u need to create procedure

SQL

Create Procedure Get_LastRow

(

    @Tname Varchar(50)

)

AS

BEGIN


EXECUTE ('DECLARE GETLAST CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR SELECT * FROM ' + @Tname)
--select date from the above query

OPEN GETLAST

FETCH LAST FROM GETLAST

CLOSE GETLAST

DEALLOCATE GETLAST

END

and execute that procedure to get the result like

SQL

EXEC Get_LastRow 'dbo.TableName'

Accept the solution if this is helpful!!

Thanx

Solution 4

last updated/added ?

1. for last updated record,
add timestamp column
and fire query

SQL

select * from tbl timestampCol=max(timestampCol)

2. for lastly added record,

SQL

--Insert statement then

Happy Coding!

Solution 1

SQL

Select top 1 fact1,fact2,fact3,total,date from stock_details order by date desc.

Now write this query as sqlcommand and fill the output in datatable.

Then get value for each datatable column and set it to your variable.

i am writing sample code in c#.

C#

foreach(DataRow dr in datatable)
{
int fact1=Convert.ToInt32(dr["fact1"].ToString());
}

in VB

VB

For Each dr As DataRow In datatable
    Dim fact1 As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(dr("fact1").ToString())
Next

Updated solution.

If you need only max date column, then try this

SQL

Select max(Date) from stock_detail

s

Then

VB

Dim dt as datetime 
dt=Convert.ToDateTime(cmd.ExecuteS

calar());

Next

Sharath2790 31-Aug-12 2:46am

what about date part????

Santhosh Kumar Jayaraman 31-Aug-12 2:50am

date part? I have took top 1 record from table order by date as desc. So it will give me the row which is of max date in the table

Sharath2790 31-Aug-12 3:25am

ok! fine but my question is i need to assign that max date to a variable in vb..?? So how can i do that??

Santhosh Kumar Jayaraman 31-Aug-12 3:27am

If you want max(date) from the table no need of other columns? If so then its very simple.
Select max(date) from stockdetails will be your query.and use ExecuteScalar.
Datetime dt=cmd.ExecuteScalar() like this.
