ODBC Support For Informix Serial And BigInt Data Types
Jan 20, 2010
I have Informix Dynamic Server 11.50 and Informix Client SDK 3.5 installed on my server. I am developing a .NET application to read data from Informix database using ODBC functions. In the database, i have a table with columns of Serial and BigInt data types defined. My data retrieve function looks like this [Code]
I've tried to modify the columns with Serial and BigInt data types to Integer. And, everything works fine without modifying a single line of code. I do need some advice how to overcome this problem as i need the Serial data type column as an incrementing id column. For BigInt data type column, may be we can change it to column with Integer data type instead.
i am new to vb .net i just want to ask why is it i don't see the odbc data adapter in the toolbox pane? i just have (under data) pointer, dataset, datagridview, bindingsource, and binding navigator.
Is this possible in object-oriented design? I'd like to specify that in an inheritance tree, the type of a property in the child classes is different from the type of that property in the parent class. But the types are polymorphic because they derive from the type used in the parent class. e.g.:
I'm trying to pass a data packet from the serial data received event.The code can capture the data without any issues.I'm spinning my wheels on getting the data packet out of the thread for further processing.[code]
Im working on my first n-tier application. I am trying to serialize a structure and Im getting an error"Soap Serializer does not support serializing Generic Types : System.Nullable`1[System.DateTime]."Here is the structure that is being serialized Namespace Structures
<Serializable()> _ Public Structure structAllergy Public AllergyID As String Public ProfileID As String
[code]....
The bold line is the line that is throwing the error.
I've installed the trial version of IBM Informix Dynamic Server 11.50 on my development laptop, for use with an ASP.NET 2.0 app I'm writing. I have created a couple databases and filled them with sample data but I cannot connect. This is the relevant section of code:
Dim facStr As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("fact").ConnectionString conn.ConnectionString = facStr
I can't seem to find a way to get just the locator object of a column under .Net. It seems that Informix is automatically converting the blob column to Byte[] and not leaving a way to change that behavior.
IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection c = new IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection("..."); c.Open();
I have a small vb.net application that fires a crystal report through crystal viewer.
The report uses an ODBC connection provided by 32-bit software accounts package, which is installed in the ODBC 32-bit This all works fine on 32-bit XP and 32-bit Win7 with no problems, When run on a win7 64-bit machine the application launches ok, but when it comes to running the report, it prompts for a database logon box for the odbc connection.
When the report is run seperate on its own, on the exact same pc through crystal reports desginer it runs fine, Its almost like the application is not picking the 32-bit ODBC set up is it the case that the connection needs to be coded rather than using the report connection,
I have data from an Informix database that has a column with data encrypted using the Informix function ENCRYPT_TDES. The data was imported into SQL SERVER 2008 and I no longer have access to a running instance of Informix. I need to write a C# or VB.NET function for decrypting that data. Anyone know how to write a C# function to decrypt it?
Im working on a HSD 32 bit data bus to serial converter via a microcontroller. Now first I want to make a sort of data sniffer to read the data bus (32Bit) .All on the controller side is working and the stream of bytes are coming in via RS232 as 4 bytes in HEX like FD,A5,45,8B . I already converted the bytes in Dec and ASCII to determine what is passed true the bus and how fast and stuff.. Now that is all correct and working very well if the LSB (least significant bit) of the 32 data bus is Data line 0 and the MSB (most significant bit) is Data line 31 but if that is not the case I need to invert the 32Bits (like as I would invert the connector on the bus) . How do I best do this using the 4 bytes I send from the micro controller.
Example:
(MSB) 01001000 01100101 01101100 01110000 (LSB) HEX= 48 65 6C 70 DEC= 72,101,108,112 ASCII= H E L P
I have an old VB6 program which copies data from a legacy system (Btrieve 6) into our SQL Server so it can be served up on the web and used to feed some of our other needs. The legacy system outputs a file and a feed program posts it into the legacy ODBC database. The program isn't anywhere near realtime and I am now finding the delay between data going into the legacy database and then into the SQL database is becoming unacceptable so I thought I'd look at VB.NET and see if I could find a better way of doing it using FileSystemWatcher so that when the legacy output file is renamed I can then start a copy of the record affected from the legacy to the new database.
I've downloaded the ODBC driver and the MySQL driver and installed them on my system (Win XP SP3). However, the only data sources that are showing up when I try to add a data connection are Access & 2 SQL Server objects. Is there something else that needs to be setup in order for Visual Studio to allow additional data sources? I'm currently running VS 2010 Express.
I think, although I am not sure, that my problem may stem from the fact that I am trying to do something with a DB2 Packed Decimal Field.If I use MS SQL to import data from an iSeries file I can do something like this Select a, b, c, sum(d) from a file where (criteria here) group by a, b, c Note: field d is a packed decimal field.
In VB using an ODBC connection I can do this: select a, b, c, d from a file where (criteria here)but when I try to do this Select a, b, c, sum(d) from a file where (criteria here) group by a, b, c I am getting an error: -2147467259 (80004005).
I want to do this using VB in Excel because I want the user to be able to input data on the spreadsheet that defines some of the selection criteria.
i am trying to connect to an MS Access database and I am getting an erro message on the following line of
searchtable_command = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(searchtable_string, testsearch_connection) Error:'System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection' cannot be converted to 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection'.
Here my connection string:
Dim testsearch_connection As New Odbc.OdbcConnection("Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:CesarAccessdatabase.mdb;Uid=admin;Pwd=;")
I'm using the Microsoft Excel Driver to import an Excel document into a adodb.recordset so that I can remove duplicate rows and put it into the SQL Server database.
The first column has values like 192, 13U, JJJ, etc. but for some reason the query casts it as a double value, and any rows with alpha values get converted to Null. From what I can tell this is because the Majority type is numeric instead of text.
I tried casting it, but got an error.
Here's my function:
Function Read_Excel(ByVal sFile As String) As ADODB.Recordset On Error GoTo fix_err Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
I need to connect to an MySQL database in my VB.NET application (VB 2010 Express). When I attempt to use the Data Sources wizard to establish the connection, it does not provide an ODBC data source. I'm using Add New Data Source/Database/DataSet/New Connection which shows the Add Connection dialog. The only options it gives me for data sources are Access & SQL Server and the OLEDB data provider. It does not appear to give me the option of adding a new data source provider. Attached is an image of my current Change Data Source dialog. Where do I get the ODBC data source provider and how do I install it into Visual Studio?
I used the ODBC Data Sources admin panel to create a "data source" for an ".mdb" file. This was very easy. I can access the mdb (database) file via an ODBC driver, locally. However I need to access this data source over the network. Can anyone please help me learn how to make this same database available on the host's network interface? Perhaps there is a tutorial, video, or some other documentation that explains how to modify a data source to make it available on the network. I am using Windows XP. I hope this does not require a special Windows server distribution.
i am a absolute beginner and i want to use vb to receive data from micro controller through serial port using rs232 standards, i found this code to receive the data serially, can any one tell me where should i paste this code, so that the data received will be displayed in message box.Private Sub DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) HandlesSerialPort1.DataReceived
Any links to good descriptions and/or tutorials (with VB.net 2008) on OdbcDataReader? I tried, but didn't find many. MSDN is not such a good help in this case.
In VB.NET I would like to create a complicated data structure with multiple types of data stored in an array like format (see below). I am trying to create a data structure that would look something like this: [Name; xLoc; yLoc; zLoc; [Jagged Array]] Note: Name needs to be dimensioned as a string, xLoc and so forth as integers. The Jagged Array would look like this:
I have VB Application and VB dll. I am retrieving the data using MS ODBC and through VB application and passing it to VB dll. Dll is then processing the data and inserting the data into Oracle 10g database. Dll uses OraOledb driver. Now when i retrieve the data in my web-page which uses MS ODBC, it displays the data as garbled.
I have an Access table in which I connect through ODBC commands. I want to delete the 50% of data rows from it. Can anyone knows a string to write for doing that? ALARMLOG is my table. In MS SQL I tryed succesfully the following command :
I have tried everything.but im not able to insert updat and delete the excel file..im able to connect the excel sheet.the connection also seems to be opened...here s my connection string:
Dim sConnectionString As String Const kunal = "C:" sConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
I have an error "ERROR [22018] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression". I am using VBdotNet2005 and MS Access as its database, and I can't really get the hang of this error.
