    - urgent: connection pooling error Hi all, I have a web service that opens a sqlconnection to the db and does some work. Just recently I have begun getting the following error on a frequent basis: Timeout expired.The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached. I have verified that my web service is closing connections. Why is this happening? Can I increase the max pool size? How? thanks, Param Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98987

    - Strategy Question: Semi-Structured Data Comparisons All, I'm hoping one of you Xml or Data gurus can offer an opinion. I'm working on an app to basically compare two semi-structured data files (e.g. Excel / CSV) to one another. But I need to compare them as if they were datatables... (ie a simple diff type tool won't work)... More specifically, the process I envision so far is: 1) Read in two files -- if Excel select appropriate sheet (would also require users to structure their worksheets as tables -- ie no mixed data so common with Excel) 2) Determine worksheet -- if Excel 4) Scan for columns 5) Have user determine which is source and which is target (or file being compared) 6) Have user match one or more "key" columns between two files -- eg Source File "ID" column = Target File "UserID" column (allows for arbitray column names) 7) Have user select (similar to above) columns to compare (simple text, integer or boolean equality for now) 8) Run the comparison determining -- a) Rows in one but not the other file (based on the Keys) b) Rows with matching keys but non-matching (changed) comparison columns c) Rows that match key / compare columns Here's what I'm asking: - I know how to do / have written 1 - 7. - I also know how to do 8 above via brute force -- eg going from the source, read row by row, column by column and comparing keys and comparison columns between the two... * What do you recommend as the data structure? Currently using an OleDB generated dataset. Does Xml or a collection make more sense? * If dataset or Xml, is there a better way than brute force? Dataview with Find? Merge and detect differences? Would appreciate any advice from anyone who's been there before. One concern with brute force approach is that these files could contain hundreds to thousands of rows (yes, I wish my fellow employees would do more with databases) -- which, worst case scenario of, say, a thousand rows in each file results in potentially, I believe, 1 Million comparisons.... Any thoughts, comments, suggestions? Conversion of source data to Access, SQL Server, Oracle not an option......tried it already (politics).... thanks in advance, tim Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98975

    - Query about closing connections to SQL Server database. I have an application that connects using SqlConnection objects to a SQL Server database. When I first execute the Connection.Open() method, two new connections appear in my database (according to sp_who2, both of them are from the program ".Net SqlClient Data Provider"). Firstly, is it normal for two connections to appear like this? Anyway, straight after opening the database I call Connection.Close(). Neither of the connections in the database close at this point. Is this the expected behaviour? I'm wondering whether this is just due to connection pooling and is nothing to worry about but would like some confirmation. Calling the .Dispose method on the connection has no effect either. The connections don't disappear from the database until I close my application and return to the IDE. My thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide. -- (O)enone Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98970

    - Oracle Stored Procedure Problems Hello, I am calling an Oracle Stored Procedure. It has a column which is defined as "Float". The Oracle procedure defines a parameter for this field as "Float". In my program I create a parameter which is a Oracle DbType of "Double". When I execute the procedure, it fails with an ORA 06502 and ORA 06512 and these error messages talk of not being able to convert propertly from string to numeric. When I look at the table, I see that my transaction did apply to the database, inspite of the error message, but the Fields which is identified as "float" and I defined a "Double" has the amount that I passed, but the value truncates the last four decimal places - I passed 8 decimal positions but only 4 remained. Am I using the correct datatype in my program to describe a float value? Any ideas as to why I am getting the Errors begin returned? The output paramterters, when I create them in my program, - the "value" portion of thos parameters, do they need be to initialized with "null" in the "Value" property? Thanks in advance for your assistance!! Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98964

    - No partial class for a strongly typed row in a s.t. dataset in 2.0 The dataset itself is a partial, that's nice, can attach code to it if I wish. Ditto for the datatable. However, the area where I was really interested in doing it, the strongly typed datarow, no go. Sure, I can continue to wrap the row in a custom class, but it feels more natural to me to be able to extend the strongly typed datarow class directly. Too late to re-think that?

    - Confusing quotation marks from ADO .NET to stored procedures Hi, I am new to database. I am having difficulty with quotaion marl problems when I am passing string variables in ADO .NET to varchar variable in SQL stored procedures. In ADO .NET code, I used: SqlParameter[] parameters = { new SqlParameter("@StartCity", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50), new SqlParameter("@EndCity", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50), new SqlParameter("@TripDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8) } parameters[0].Value = strStartCity; // strStartCity = txtStartCity.Text; parameters[1].Value = strEndCity; parameters[2].Value = tripDate; // tripDate is System.DateTime type ..... DataSet trips = RunProcedure("usp_GetTrips", parameters, "Trips"); Then in SQL stored procedure, I used: SELECT * WHERE StartCity LIKE @StartCity AND EndCity LIKE @EndCity AND DateDiff(day, DateAdd(day, -3, @dtTripDate), TripDate)<10 This does not work returning no result. I used SQL Query Analyser debugger to check the stored procedure. It seems the string value like 'Ottawa' is automatically padded with " (double quotation marks) at both ends and these quotation marks are counted as a character. So it does not work. When I used the following in my stored procedure: SELECT * WHERE StartCity LIKE 'Ottawa' AND EndCity LIKE 'Toronto' AND DateDiff(day, DateAdd(day, -3, '11/16/2004'), TripDate)<10 It worked and returned the results. It seems that the strings passed from ADO ,NET code is not interpreted as string literal in stored procedure. What is the problem and what settings do I need to turn on to solve it?

    - Re: Does anyone know anything about this BUG? Ok, Ryan. Thanks for your attention. Do you get 0 rows in which one of the result sets? Because it shows 2 result sets. One with the expected result and another one, where the extra brackets were added with the "wrong" result. Just like bellow: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Temp>AdoTableSelectTest LESS BRACKETS FILTER RESULTS ( Description = 'Type B' and Number = 7 ) and ( Code = 'B' ) Row Count: 0 Code - Number - Description --------------------------- EXTRA BRACKETS FILTER RESULTS ( ((Description = 'Type B')) and ((Number = 7)) ) and ( Code = 'B' ) Row Count: 2 Code - Number - Description --------------------------- B - 2 - Type B B - 3 - Type B C:\Temp> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that the values in the Number column in the 2nd result set are 2 & 3 respectively. But the filter clause says "Number = 7"(???). If both result sets are returning 0 rows, then I don't know what it is. It might be that you have a different MDAC or .NET Framework version where this problem has already been fixed. Many thanks, Dalmo "W.G.

    - connections not being reused... I have a Windows Service written in C# .net 1.1 that writes to SQL Server 2000. It has been deployed for some time now with no issues. now recent performance issues with the SQL Server have pointed to an apparent issue with the Windows Service. The service opens and closes all it's connection objects and has try/catch/finally blocks in place. (again this "had" been working properly). Yet now SQL Server is logging several connections from the service that continue to grow in number. And it appears that connections are not being reused from the connection pool. What can I look at as to why connections in the pool would not be reused versus new connections being created? And was there any recent patch that may have effected this?

    - Loading dataset with ComplexTypes I need to generate a XML document (which needs to nest the data) from a SQL query that returns several resultsets and I'm trying to the find the least painful way of doing this. I originally just used OPENXML to return an xml document, but this query became way to complicated to expect anyone to maintain. I tried creating a dataset with several datatables with the appropriate parent child relationships, but that didn't do the job because I can't have the parent's Primary Key nested in the child's node. I was able to create a dataset with simple and complex types that does exactly what I need when it's converted to xml using the XMLDataDocument; but now I have the issue of how to load this from SQL Server. From what I can tell there is no way to directly load a datatable with complex types (am I wrong?). So my next plan of attack is to load the data into one dataset that uses several datatables and then convert this into a seperate dataset with one datatable and several complex types. So is there some way to load the data into several datatables within a dataset and then automatically convert this into a different dataset that uses complex types? Am I missing something that is completely obvious? Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98892

I am trying to figure out how to do a connection string for a ADO.NET SqlConnection object on a database that implements Application Roles. I cannot seem to get the connection to work.

    - Dataset in Crystal Report Hello everyone, I'm working with a web application now and we're finding a way to improve the speed of viewing a report (Crystal report). We used a dataset instead of connecting the crystal report directly to the SQL Server that we are using. We thought that this time, we will only have one connection to the SQL Server and that is when filling the dataset. However, during our test of the report, we found out that the Stored procedure that we used in the dataset is being executed everytime the report form changes. Does this mean that the dataset refreshes it self everytime the Crystal report uses its data? We thought that we only have to fill the dataset once and that there will be no other connection to the SQL Server that will be created (by the Crystal report, i guess) everytime we changes a report page. Your ideas will be higly appreciated. Thank you. -- Nonoy Makati, Philippines Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98846

    - Sort a price column in a dataview The only way i could see to insert prices into a datagrid was to use strings. Heres a fragment... oTable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Price", GetType(String))) . . . oRow("Price") = nPrice.ToString("C") . . . oSpecs = New DataView(oTable) oSpecs.Sort = "Price" Now the problem is, the column is obviously being sorted as regards to a string rather than a currency. For instance i end up with it ordered like this... £1,100.50 £400.00 £700.50 £800.70 Is there any way to make the datagrid aware that a column contains currency values? I couldn't find an appropriate datatype. Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98845

    - How to dispose a dataset completely Hi, Once a dataset is populated from DataAdapter, I want to release the memory acquired by dataSet object. So I call oDataSet.Dispose(). But it doesnot disposes the internal objects like Datatable/dataColumn. Should I have to call Dispose() method for these internal objects explicitely? OR DataSet.Dispose() takes care to clear the internal objects? Thanx, Atul Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98843

    - Specify in connection string where MSDE data is stored Hi there, I can using ADO .NET in visual C++ to access an MSDE database. My connection string looks like this: "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=SSPI" This goes and gets the database from C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data. However, my application needs to be able to access databases stored in other directories. I know you can set the data dir for MSDE at installation and I'm guessing you can change it through the registry after that, but is it possible to specify the data location in the connection string?

    - Microsoft Access versus Programmatic Data Access Hi All, I am experiencing an inconsistency in relation to accessing Oracle data via two different routes. I am accessing an Oracle database using a Microsoft Access front end , making use of linked tables , via a DSN. The user account I am using is limited to read only. I can view but not modify the data using Microsoft Access. However when I programmatically access the data (in c#) using various drivers (Microsoft and Oracle) I can access the database but cannot read the data. I am told that the table or view cannot be found.This occurs even if I access the data programmatically using the DSN which works using the Microsoft Access front end. Why the difference when I am using the same account and the same DSN? Any help greatly appreciated. Tag: DataView.Find Tag: 98810

    - Error: Microsoft JET Database Engine I am working on a VB.NET WINFORM project with MS Access as database. The database has 2 tables: 1) PROJID: has the following fields: projid & projnm, projid is the primary key 2) PROJCOST: has the following fields: projid, currtyp, costtyp, yr, annamt. Primary keys are: projid, currtyp, costtyp, yr. In the MS Access Relationships design for this database, I setup a relationship between PROJID & PROJCOST tables related by 'projid' field and the 'Enforce Referential Integrity' box is checked. On one window form, I created a dataview populated with data from table PROJID. Several text box fields on this form are binded to this dataview, user can change data in table PROJID from these text fields. To save data to table, I use DataAdapter.Update command. This is where I keep getting an error saying: "Error: Microsoft JET Database Engine: The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'projcost' includes related records" This happen even when the primary key field in PROJID is not changed.

    - Parent-child relationship Hi, I'm adjusting the code at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B310350 to my application. I have 1 parent table with two child tables. I'm adjusting it so I can use it with a strong-typed dataset and generated SqlAdapters. The problem I'm facing is, when processing these lines: daOrd2.Update(ds.Tables["Orders"].Select("", "", DataViewRowState.Added)); ds.EnforceConstraints = false; daDetails.Update(ds.Tables["Details"].Select("","", DataViewRowState.Added)); ds.EnforceConstraints = true; the INSERT in the first line creates a new record in the Orders table, and updates the DataRow in the DataSet with the new identity PK value, exactly like it's supposed to do. However, this line also is supposed to update the PK value on the child DataRows in the "Details" DataTable, which it does, but in the process it changes their DataRowState from "Added" to "Modified". This causes the next three lines to be useless since they only send DataRows with State = Added to the DataAdapter. (DataRows with State = Modified where sent a few lines before this lines). Hence, I only get the Order record inserted on the database, and all the details are skipped, resulting in a "widow" order with no items. What might be causing this behaviour? I thought I solved it changing the DataSet's relation rules to "Default" instead of "Cascade", but after a few tries that worked I'm getting the same behavior again. Just to be clear, what might cause an Update on the parent table to change the child DataRow states from "Added" to "Modified", hence preventing them to be INSERTed on the database?

    - strongly typed datasets in c# Hi newsgroup, I'm new to ADO.NET. I want to use strongly typed datasets, to reflect my business objects from the database. I have e.g. an object "user" with the properties name, telno, login, password, etc. I'm able to access all these properties in the code. But now I want to add business logic to the objects. E.g. a function "generateRSAKeyPair". What is the usual way to implement business logic? Should I derive the dataset class and add the functionality in there? Or should I write something like a wrapper class around the dataset where the business logic is implemented? And how do I handle relations between objects depending on the way for implementing the business logic. I would need to write my own collection classes which cater for data integrity upon chances.

Hello,

I am retrieving data from a database "Order By LastName", when I use a
dataview to find a Last Name it does not give me the first instance of the
Last Name.

ie.

ADataView.Sort = "LastName"
AnInteger=ADataView.find("Smith")
BindingContext(ADataView).Position = AnInteger

If there are more than one "Smith" in the database it goes to the second one
instead of the First one.

What I need is for it to go to the first one.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Hello,

When I Do Desc, It works but everything is backwards. All the records go
from Z - A. I need them to go from A - Z and grab the first one it finds.

ASC takes me to the second one.
