Fellow Geeks:
I am a new VB.NET programmer and am trying to open a MS Access 2000 database using the following code:
Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; DataSource= C:\My Documents\Access 2000\RightPath.mdb"<br />
Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM ANNUALSPECS"<br />
Dim myConnection As New OleDbConnection(strConn)<br />
Dim myCommand As New OleDbCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)<br />
myConnection.Open()
When I run the .Open(), I get the error: "Could not find installable ISAM".
I have been able to find a little in the documentation about this, but it has not been much practicle help. Has anyone else seen this, and what can I do about it?

Hi Jeff,
That error usually means a connection string typo. Try putting a space between "Data" and "Source".

 Well, that was only slightly painful and embarassing! Thanks for the additional eyes in finding this!

I have a table with only one field of type string.
This table is loaded into a list control and the user is allowed to manipulate its data by adding/removing elements on it.
When the user is ready he has the option to save this list back to the database.
Effectively I have two lists, list A which exists on the database and list B which exists in memory.
List B is mofified by the user and must be saved back to List A in the database.
In your opinions, what is the best method to use when saving list B?
1. Delete all records from A and dump B into A
2. Iterate B, checking for each item's existence in A. If item does not exist, add to A. Iterate A and check for each item's existence in B. If item does not exist in B, delete it from A
3. Like (2) but other way around. Iterate A checking for each items existence in B. If item does not exist, delete it from A. Iterate B and check for each item's existence in A if item does not exist, add it to A
There could be around 10,000 records in the list.
List A and list B do not necessarily have to exist on the same computer - they might be connected over the LAN.

my company run their project mgmt stuff on an access db. i've made various changes to this app however its extremely slow, especially on our network when more than one person wants to use it. i've since moved this to asp which everyone is happy with, despite the loss of some features. I've taken the initiative and am moving it to MySQL (boss won't cough up for ms sql) as the database is growing, new features, reporting, etc needs to be added. i've also considered moving the web app to .net, however i don't see any real benefit to the end user (just more work for myself) and its not solving the underlying issues. And one of the main bug-bears is the printing of reports -> the reports just don't cut it when printing from a web page especially if it is a multi-page report. I've come to the conclusing that i should be rewritting this app as a win32 application using C#. my biggest question is should i use a client/server configuration or just have the client application connect to the database and do whatever. the database is on a winxp machine which also serves as our file server and web server (intranet). We have approx 10 users on our network. is there a real need to go the client/server route or will the simple client app do the trick. the database is on a separate machine within our local network however the client machines can still see it and connect to it. and help, advice and/ideas are greatly appreciated.

How do you create the reports?

well, now we are still using the access db for printing multi-page reports (simply because we get the headers, footers, page number, etc automatically and nicely formatted). for single page reports we use an activex component that can print web pages without all the crap that normal prints with it (url, etc) but have to rely on html formatting.

I want to return a larg set of records from database server

1-what is the effective way to do this?
2- is it differ if they connected via Wan or via the Internet
thanks in advace

Two very basic advices:
1. return ONLY the data that you really need (do not use SELECT * ...),
2. return all data using ONE batch to minimize the network traffic; don't do something like:
do
[your query]
while (...)

thanks chopeen for your reply
of course i will return the data that i realy need
so the question at the case that i really need many records
when you work with disconected data you may have situation like this
you want to create dataset which have many records or if you implement your business objects
so the question again ho to do this effectively
thanks again
i need your advices gurus
|

You can use a DataSet object. It works perfect on disconected enviroments. Also look information on the DataAdapter object.
The DataAdapter, will translate the modifications done to your DataSet to the DataBase.
Free your mind...

|
|
Thanks Guillermo Rivero
it seems that i did not explain what i need exactly
i know that i can use dataset on disconected enviroments but Is it will work fine if
the returned records = 1000000 ? for example.
in situation i need this data
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I once did load a DataSet with 2 million records and it worked fine.
Each record had 5 fields.
Free your mind...
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Guillermo Rivero for your help
thats ok for me but i want to ask you another question
do you know good resources (books - web sites...) about
Designing distrebuted application in .net that have real
world examples? i have some books about remoting and webservice but they are teaching technology with out real world examples .
thanks in advance
|
|

|

Ok, I read somewhenre in msdn.microsoft.com[^] something about Application Blocks. And I'm almost sure that there is Distributed Application Block. There you can have guidelines on how to design Distributed Applications.
The other way is design, your own. I prefer the second one...
Free your mind...

Guys, perhaps you can help me speed up the process here.
1. sp_msx_enlist
2. sp_msx_defect
Do you run this stored proc on master server or on target server? Or both?
Thanks

HELLO! I've been developing a C# .NET application with mySQL database using ODBC driver (myodbc 3.51) to connect to the database. I've been trying to implement database transaction but encountered an error which I've no idea on how to go about in solving it.
Here's the exception that I got:
**********************************************************

myConnect.Open();
OdbcCommand myCommand = myConnect.CreateCommand();
OdbcTransaction myTrans;
try

myCommand.Transaction = myTrans;
try
{
myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO `alvin` ( `id` , `value` ) " + "VALUES ('0', '12');";
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO `alvin` ( `id` , `value` ) " + "VALUES ('0', '24');";
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
myTrans.Commit();
Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
myConnect.Close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
try
{
myTrans.Rollback();
}
catch (OdbcException ex)
{
if (myTrans.Connection != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("An exception of type " + ex.GetType() + " was encountered while attempting to roll back the transaction.");
}
}
Console.WriteLine("An exception of type " + e.GetType() + "was encountered while inserting the data.");
Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.");
}
finally
{
myConnect.Close();
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
**********************************************************
Please HELP!!! Thanksss

When I last looked, a couple of years back, MySQL did not support transactions (although there were plans in the pipe-line to support them).
You should look at your version of MySQL to find out if it supports transactions - if it does then you may have to change some configuration settings.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I have an admin sproc that I've used for a long time; but apparently I never noticed that sp_depends doesn't return a failure value. I suppose over time I have just never checked a sproc that had no dependencies which is how I discovered this.
sp_depends raises an error if there are no dependencies unfortunately the return Value is 0 for all cases. Therefore using checking the return value is of no use. Since I use a return Value and a retCode in my sproc I was wondering if there is some system variable I can use to get the last error raised when exec a sproc from a sproc??
Currently I am checking for the table count and if it is 0 then I display the same message sp_depends would. I would rather the error number be returned in my return code so I can look up the mesage or have a custom message of my own.
Thanks
