I understand this means my table doesnt have a primary key, but i have set one.
I have imported a single table of a database into a dataset. I would like to find a row containing a specific value and then update some of the data in several columns of that row. When I use the code below, I get this message:"System.Data.MissingPrimaryKeyException: Table doesn't have a primary key."
The first block of code is where I setup my connection and paramters. The updateDB sub is where I want to perform the update. The database was setup in SQL Server. If I have a primary key specified for the database in SQL Server, shouldn't it carry through with the data adapter fill?

I would like to have some explaination about the characteristics of a primary key in the table of such database. This is for vb 2008 express edition,since im new to this language,if this is true, as far as i understand about the characteristic in setting the primary key on each field for true.My question is if you are doing an updates/edit records in your table using the DataContext,if you setup the primary key for true of one of your field in the table it would edit all records in one datarow but if you put the primary key for true in all fields except one of them,all the records in the data column of that field which primary key is false could be edited.Basically its impossible to edit all records in the datarow and all the records in the datacolumn of the table in such one event. Is there any further explaination about the characteristics of primary key in the table?
View 1 RepliesI have an access database with 4 tables and two of the tables have absolutely no need for a unique field that would be a primary key. One will only have one record and the other is a detail table for two master tables. I of course get an error like "UpdateCommand is not supported against a SelectCommand that does not return any key column information." when I try to save. Do I have to just create a primary field key I don't need or is there a work around for this?

It is returning all the columns by id. I need only the primary key. When I add the following line it is empty: WHERE SIK.indid = 1 Why is that? Is there other ways to do the same thing and working? Since I am in the rush
I'm having some problems trying to input records into a relational database. The design is really simple but I'm running into a wall when it comes to having the foreign key from my child table autopopulate the primary key from the parent table. I've made the connections in Access and from what I understood, so long as I committed a transaction, the child table would populate the primary key from the parent table. This is not happening.
my question is: is there a method that would do what I'm looking for? or am I cornered into using @@IDENTITY and manually inserting the primary key into the child table?
I've tried using datasets and data adapters and created a datarelation within the dataset, but it is still not doing what I need. everything I've tried thus far has allowed me to insert records into multiple tables, but won't relate them because of the missing primary key in the child table.
So I have a program that I am converting to .NET FW 3.5 and I am getting the titled exception on the following line:If IsNothing(dsTopPI.Rows.Find(profile.Item("GEMSID"))) Then Continue For
which is in a for each loop. The thing is, I have set the primary key and when I put in the following code:Dim columns() = DSTop30Profiles1.DTtop30profiles.PrimaryKey Console.WriteLine("Column count: " & columns.Length.ToString)For a = 0 To columns.GetUpperBound(0)Console.WriteLine(columns(a).ColumnName & " - " & columns(a).DataType.ToString)Next
I get this in the output:Column count: 1 GEMSID - System.Int32
That would seem to indicate that there is in fact a primary key, right?

View 1 RepliesHow would i get the primary key id number from a Table WITHOUT making a second trip to the database in LINQ To SQL?
right now, i submit the data to a table, and make another trip to figure out what id was assigned to the new field (in an auto increment id field). I want to do this in LINQ To SQL and not in Raw SQL (I no longer use Raw SQL).
also, seond part of my question is: i am always careful to know the id of a user thats online because i'd rather call their information in various tables using their id as opposed to using a guid or a username, which are all long strings... i do this because i think that SQL Server doing a numeric compare is much (tentative use of the word 'much') more efficient than doing a username (string) or even a guid (very long string) compare.
I hope someone can help me. I have an ATM machine connected to a server. A form takes a textBox entry as a PIN number and matches it to a card number in the same table which is the primary key. The card number is in a comboBox.Selected Item. I have used a dataset to fill the comboBox as the form loads. I have tried for days and got nowhere.
View 6 RepliesWhat's the syntax for an Update query for a table without a primary key?Disclaimer: Frustratingly, adding a primary key is not an option. My program is a small program in a much larger system with poor data management. My development time does not include rewriting the other software.
Note: The database is Microsoft Access.
Note: Similar to: Excel: TableAdapter UpdateCommand for table without primary key
UPDATE: Am I correct in saying, "If the table in the database has no explicit primary key, then there can be no valid TableAdapter UpdateCommand?"
Ok i have 3 tables in a dataset
Table1 contains items for sale (referenced)
Table2 contains Stores (Parent)
Table3 Contains items in a particular store (Child)
the problem is the data in this case. Table 2 contains a StoreId field as a primary key. Table1 Contains an ItemId field. My problem is in table 3 this contains 3 fields, StoreId, Name and Quantity.
Now my Table1 contains a field called Name and one called PluralName, I need to determine which field in table one relates to the Name field in table3.
The following 2 constraints exist currently in my app
Table2 - StoreId (one) to Table3 - StoreId (many)
Table1 - Name (one) to Table3 - Name (one)
can i add another constraint :- Table1 - PluralName (one) to Table3 - Name (one) ???
I am presuming if i do i will get a constraint error as the property does not relate on a one to one level if the store has more than one item in stock and vice versa when it has only one in stock.
I am trying to append multiple rows in a SQL Server.I have connected to the MS SQL Server and with a DataAdapter, I have downloaded the Table into a DataTable and displayed it in DataGridView.I now want to programatically enter multiple rows into the DataTable and later to update the SQL Table.
I am trying to build an application to do this generically.The problem I have is that the Table and DataTable has an 'ID' Field. In the SQL DB, i is an Auto-incrementing field.When the code loops through creating new rows and entering field values, how do I handle the ID Field that is the Primary Key?
I am using a number of tables on my application and two of which have a foreign key constraint I have set between them. When I change the account number on the main table via a combo box all of the relevant information for that table on the form is updated accordingly. However, the child table which has a foreign key reference to the Account Number of the main table is not updated when the acocunt number is changed. I have set the update to cascade in the references but still am having issues.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around data access in VB2010. I have properly set up a datagridview, table adapter etc...
