.net - Use A Nchar Column - Store Czech Text In An IBM819 Database?
Mar 2, 2012
switching our database over to UTF-8 (multi-byte char, unicode) encoding from IBM819 (single-byte char, Latin1 subset), because of a new requirement to support text entry of Czech characters.I've just been reminded by a colleague of the nchar and nvarchar column types, which neither of us has actually ever used.
If I were to define the relevant columns as nchar and nvarchar instead of char and varchar, what would I have to do to allow my currently-IBM819 database to work with this new IBM819-incompatible text coming in from my .net application?Would all conversion be automatic? Would I need to write some scary conversion code?
EDIT: Right, I defined an "nchartest" table containing a single column, "ntest" of type nchar(500).I connected to that via .net code and confirmed that 500 chars of lorem ipsum could be entered:
Dim insertString As String = "INSERT INTO nchartest VALUES (?)"
Dim insertCommand As New IfxCommand(insertString, cConnection, tTransaction)
insertCommand.Parameters.Add("incident_recno", IfxType.NChar).Value = "[lipsum]"
Return insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery
I then replaced the lipsum string with 100 or so chars of Czech text, and attempting to insert that caused an IfxException to be thrown by the .net Informix interface, with the message ERROR [HY000] [Informix .NET provider]Unspecified System Error = -21005.
Following up on some research I did yesterday, I tried setting my CLIENT_LOCALE setting in my connection string to en_US to match that reported by Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, but that connection could not be opened due to ERROR [HY000] [Informix .NET provider][Informix]Unable to load locale categories.
Following that, I tried setting CLIENT_LOCALE=en_US.unicode, which produced an ERROR [HY000] [Informix .NET provider][Informix]Unspecified System Error = -31142.

I'm working on a project right now that basically prints a string to the field that has focus in internet explorer and there's quite a bit of user specified information that needs to load when the vb program loads. Should I use a text file to store and retrieve the settings or a database? I'm a new programmer and I don't really have a clear idea on when I should use a text file compared to a database or the registry to store info. Also, if I use a database like access 2007 for example, wouldn't an end user run into an exception if they don't have that software installed on their comp? Is there a universal database format? I've linked some screenshots of the prog if you want to get an idea of how much info I need to store.

I am reading data from the database with SQLCommand object SQLReader, all I want to know is I want to read a specific row from my column myData...e.g.I want to read row 11 or random row from mycolumn, what is the correct syntax I am reading all the data(rows) from mycolumn with the command

what is the syntax to read the 11 or any row of this column?
Those who are looking for an example like this, might find it useful (or not). I know i was looking for one like this for over a week. Ok now, to make this codes work properly, you have to make a Database in Ms Access (I used MS Access 2007) . Create a table of two Columns, one name Debit and one name Credit. Both of the Columns Data Types must be Long Integers or you might get some conversion errors at run time. Now save the database in Access 2000-2003 Database format. And last of all, put the database in your projects DebugBin directory to avoid the database Connection Errors.
I am trying to alter a column in an Access database in VB2008 from date to text format using the SQL string as follows "ALTER TABLE receipts ALTER COLUMN Date CHAR(10)"but whether I Use TEXT, CHAR, VARCHAR or STRING, I get a Syntax Error when I run ExecuteNonQuery.
What I need to do is simply copy all the values contained by column NumarMasina into Combobox1 of my Form. (i marked with red the values I need to copied into my combobox(combobox1 of my form) in fact there are 10 values I missed the last one. You can run the ddl provided below in sql server to see the output from my printscreen.
When I run the form in my combobox there are imported the values from NumarMasina column. (so this must be done in form_load callback it's sure).
Just need to import the values from column NumarMasina of table PatrimoniuMasini automatically into combobox1 when I start my application.[code]...
i am new to VB.NET and am creating an application for twitter, my problem is that i have a datagrid on my form. On my code i have created a dataTable to store the user messages in one column and the usernames in the other column. My problem is that i cannot add a third column to the dataTable to store the user images, how do i do this? my sample code is as below :
I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Me.Close() End Sub
I am wriing a vb.net windows application to log and store information. then display it in a sortable multiple column listbox (I personally like FlexGrid by Component One). However... I am not sure how to go about storing the information. Should I go with a .sdf file database, registry, simply storing them in a file, or some other method?
What I need is to be able to: read/write/delete from it read possibly up to a 20mb file and sorting it without a lot of lag be transported to multiple systems and maintain these writes (installed on many systems)
I know I could split up the reading/writing to anther thread. Even to other .DLL's and whatnot. But as for storing. Not sure what the best option is.

For my website I've just implemented tinyMCE for my site (just a word processor). Everything works fine except when i try to store the string variable input into a sql server database. I want to store a string and not have the html tags make me exceed the 8000 length limit(the html tags take up most of that space). My question is, is there a solution so I can store my document with the html tags without shortening my document? Create an if statement that will determine the length If > 8000 than split the string apart and insert into separate fields. Maybe their is a compression feature which I'm unaware of?

I'm working on an application that is used by English and French users. French users have their computer's regional settings that make the decimal "," instead of "." and the number spacing " " instead of "," So, a French user will input a value "9,78" in a text box. I need to make this value "9.78" so I can safely store it in a database. How can I convert this to the US number format?
I've been having some trouble wrapping my head around how to link the 4 tables I have together. I'm creating a database to store all of our equipment in.
