Note: I'm not sure about MS-SQL, but in Oracle there is a limit to the number of values you can have in an "IN" clause. Back in Oracle 9, I believe the max was 1000.
for example: select * from myTable where ID IN (1,2,3,....,1000,1001) would fail because there was more than 1000 values listed.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but you might want to consider it in your design.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am pretty new to database section. I tried porting a table created in Oracle to SQL Server 2005. In Oracle, i could see a column defined holding the user details. The column is defines as given below.
CREATE_USER VARCHAR2(255 BYTE) DEFAULT USER NOT NULL
My doubt is regarding default value USER.
I would like to know
1) What will be the value keyword "USER" will be returning in ORACLE. Is it an in built property or function which returns the default user?
2) And the equivalent value to be used for "USER" in SQL Server 2005?
Please help
Thanks,
Arudya

The value returned for USER will be the userid that was supplied to establish the connection. If SQL*Plus is available, login to an oracle database and try the command select user from dual. It should return the same value as you supplied as the userid when you logged in. As for the equivalent in SQL Server, I'd suggest try googling for an equivalent.

Hi,
I have a form which including different sort of information. for instance, some information is regarding to personal data which related to Table1 and some are for Table2 and the some are for Table3. all this information are in 1 form.
Now, I just wondering to know, when I wanna insert data via Store procedure do I have to write SP for each of them?
is there any approach to insert data with writing just one SP.
how can I write SP, inserting data in Multi table. is it possible

If you insist on using stored procedures then there should be one that performs all the required statements in a transaction that can be rolled back.
Many practitioners seem to forget that by definition a procedure should contain more than one statement.

This is a basic aspect of an SP
Receive values via variables in the procedure declaration
CREATE PROC StoreDumy
-- Declare
@Var1 VARCHAR(100),@Var2 VARCHAR(100),@Var3 VARCHAR(100),@Var4 VARCHAR(100),
@Var5 VARCHAR(100),@Var6 VARCHAR(100),@Var7 VARCHAR(100)
Insert the variables in the tables required. You may want to wrap the inserts in a transaction so that if 1 insert fails all inserts are rolled back and you are not left with orphaned data
As
DECLARE @ID int
begin TRAN
INSERT dbo.Country (Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@Var1, @Var2)
SET @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT dbo.State (CtryID, Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@ID, @Var3, @Var4)
SET @ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT dbo.Town (StateID, Fld1, Fld2)
VALUES(@ID, @Var5, @Var6)
COMMIT TRAN

anyone has the URL for the english official forum of PostgreSQL NOT the Postgre Advanced Server..

And you want to use a database product that you cannot even find the URL for. What level of support do you think you are going to get for this DB. Oh wait, you are looking here, a MS centric site, for support

Thanks, good point, I could not fathom why the question got down voted. I guess I look at things too narrowly.

Some twat who probably has not heard of Postgre.
I nearly got involved in it in the 90s but chose Access spit instead and from there went naturally into SQL Server. I had just spent some years working with SuperBase only to have it sold 5 times in as many years and it got totally marginalised. I'll stick to mainstream!

How can I deploy PostgreSQL database in InstallShield 2010 so it will install the database server and create my database as well?
|
|
|
|
|
how can I create a script for the entire database inPostgreSQL including the structure, rows, functions, views, etc?

You could use PgAdminIII and it's database backup function. This allows you to select which objects you would like to re-create. This could then be run using restore from either PgAdmin or the command line, depending on your requirements

I have a demo application that uses SQL Server via ADO to create and populate a database. I connect to the master database and then execute a "CREATE DATABASE ..." SQL statement. Here is the connect:
bool CMsSqlDemoView::Connect(LPCTSTR szDatabase)
{
Disconnect();
m_DBConnection.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection));
if (!m_DBConnection)
{
m_listErrors.AddString("Failed to create ADO::Connection instance");
return(false);
}
m_DBConnection->CursorLocation = adUseClient;
// Note: The "sqloledb" provider does not fully support XML.
// For XML support, the Provider and DataTypeCompatibility values must be set as indicated.
CString strConnection;
strConnection.Format(
"Provider=SQLNCLI10;DataTypeCompatibility=80;Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=%s;Database=%s;Trusted_Connection=Yes;",
m_strDataSource.GetString(),
szDatabase);
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
bool bResult = true;
try
{
hr = m_DBConnection->Open(strConnection.GetString(), "", "", adConnectUnspecified);
}
catch(_com_error &e)
{
CString strText;
strText.Format("Error code '%d' : '%s'", e.Error(), (LPCTSTR)e.Description());
m_listErrors.AddString(strText);
bResult = false;
}
return(bResult);
}
So far so good. I have now created a second demo application that uses SQL Server CE 3.5. I set the provider as "Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5" but I am unable to create a connection object, and I have no idea how to create a database since I cannot connect to a master database. Anyone know how to do this (C++)? Thanks. BY the way I don't want to use managed C++, or OLEDB.

In case anyone else needs the answer, I had to use the MS_ADOX::_Catalog COM interface which is imported from msadox.dll. For example:
MS_ADOX::_CatalogPtr catalogPtr;
catalogPtr.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MS_ADOX::Catalog));
catalogPtr->Create("Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=C:\\Temp\\sqlcedemo.sdf;");
The above crap non error checking code creates the C:\\Temp\\sqlcedemo.sdf database, which can then be opened and populated using ADO in the normal fashion.

is there an advantage to laying out fields of certain data types in a particular order?
For example, in MS Access 2007, is it best to have all Memo fields at the end of the table definition?
Thanks,
JJ

While there is no technical benifit I have always followed these rules
Primary keys is the first field (I almost never use complex keys) and is usually an identity or a GUID inder duress
Foreign key fields (you know all this ####ID fields)
Primary description field(s)
All other fields
Modified and ModifiedBy are generally the last 2 fields on most tables.

Even though it may look nicer to have columns sorted in a particular order, sooner or later you will have no influence on the order any more. For as far as I know it is not possible to insert a column inbetween to existing columns without dropping the entire table and recreating it, which in most large live systems is a big no no as it cost way to much time to do.

Hi,
Scenario:
I have a database which is going to be replicated via a set of web services. The web services will select all records where [AwaitingSync] = true. I have cerated two triggers for each table which sets [AwaitingSync] to true when a record is inserted or updated. The web service then sets [AwaitingSync] to false for all records.
Problem:
Due to a combination of my inexperience and lack of thought there is a slight problem(you'ver probably already noticed what the problem is!). After synching, when the web service sets [AwaitingSync] to false the update trigger fires and sets it back to true! 
My question is this then; what can I do about this? Can I add a conditional statement to the trigger so that it only fires if a particular column is being updated(or not being updated in this case). Or maybe the trigger be temporarily disabled while the [AwaitingSync] column is being updated. Or are there any other solutions to this?
Thanks for your time.
EDIT: Think I've found a solution but I would still appreciate your views if there is a better way of doing this. I have modified the trigger to check the value of [AwaitingSync] before updating.
IF(SELECT [AwaitingSync] FROM DELETED) = 0
BEGIN
UPDATE tblProductCategories
SET [DateModified] = GetDate(),
[AwaitingSync] = 1
WHERE [ID] = (SELECT [ID] FROM INSERTED)
END

Your update trigger should exclude the column [Awaiting Synch] from the list of columns that the trigger should fire on.
