How do I query a DataTable where a value has an apostrophe in it? For example, my datatable has a lastname column and I want to search for the name "O'Bryan", how would I do it? With an SQL query I would just use a parameter & it would take care of the apostrophe automatically. Is there a way to use parameters with a DataTable?
View 5 RepliesThe data was being read from a Gridview which had the html encoding. The solution was the following...
Dim Sht_Text As String = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(row.Cells.Item(0).Text)
I am trying to prevent from having to escape apostrophes and other special characters in my string variables by using a parameterized query with an OleDbConnection. I have all of the parameters in the same order, the insert is working, it just does not maintain the characters. I keep getting those pesky html codes. I am trying to insert into an Access db from a web pages. As I mentioned, its working, just not the special characters.
Here's the code:
Dim pConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection pConn = New OleDbConnection(cb.ConnectionString)
Dim SqlString As String = "INSERT INTO Strings (Mlt_String_ID, Lng_ID, Strg_Name, Sht_Text, Lng_Text, Alt_Text) Values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"

jp and en records already existed, the insert of fr record pushes the html codes for the small circle which represents the degree symbol. Happens for all other special characters as well.
load the contents of a query from a dataTable Adapter into a datatable?
View 2 RepliesI created a RDCL in the designer. I would like the User to Determine what is shown in the Report. How can I change the query at runtime? (ex. changing the customer Name)
This is the query that I have in the properties:
SELECT [Date], Address, Customer, Orders
FROM Report_qry
WHERE (Customer= 'JohnDoe')
I have an untyped dataset which is populated at runtime. I need to look for a Datarow in the datatable containing a specific value in one of its column ("ID") and when found should set the other column value ("Value") on the same Datarow. How to do it?I tried the following to get the DataRow:
Dim foundrow As DataRow = dt.Rows.Find(ID)where dt is my Datatable and ID is a String variable which is to be found.I always get Nothing as return. I checked the datatable just before executing that line: it has over 100 rows and the the ID to be found is there. I stil get Nothing as return.

If I would connect to database I would run a query like this: "Select distinct Column1, column2 from tablename where somefield=somevalue order by column2". How can I run this query to a datatable? I know .select but that's not enough like dataset.datatable("name").select(filter,short). Still need distinct.
View 2 RepliesI'm using VB.Net to create a windows form application. One form has a DataGridView that displays data from a SQLServer table via a TableAdapter and BindingSource whose filter is set as I need it. Elsewhere on the same form I would like to show totals for four columns of the same table, but from a totally different set of rows. All I've been able to figure out is to create another TableAdapter - but this seems foolish since the SQL table data has already been brought into my application by the first TableAdapter.Is there a way to run a query on the DataTable that was filled by the first TableAdapter, and how do I get the query results?
View 8 RepliesI do have a datatable filled from a flatfile (say .txt). After the datatable is populated, I manipulate the data. After datamanipulation I want to do some analysis of the content of the datatable. For this analysis, I need to aggregate the data.
To keep it simple, let's say I have single orders of customers in the datatable and now I want to get the total order amount for each customer (SQL: SELECT Customer, Count(Ordervalue) FROM Ordertable GROUP BY Customer).
I have pulled information from a database into a datatable (dtCustomerInfo) then I expanded on the columns by processing the data and I can display this in a datagridview without any problem. However, the data is in detail and I want to ultimately summarize by customer name.The code below has a commented sql statement that is the statement I ultimately want but it is not working. However, the idea is that I want to Select from one datatable into another but run aggregate sum on several columns so that I will get one record per customer showing totals for each column.So I broke it down to just pull all data possible into the second table.[code]I do know the grouping in the current select * statement does nothing but my issue is more that the columns do not show up.
View 3 RepliesI have a function (GetData) that parses a SQL string, makes a connection to a SQL Server and dumps the result to a DataTable. It works perfectly on a series of SQL calls I have. I have new query I have added and now the function balks at the adapter.Fill(table) call. I do not understand why the call fails. The SQL portion works fine when run directly against the SQL database (Management Studio). I am thinking the fuctions not capable of dealing with the subquery somehow, just not sure why.

I do have the following problem extracting records from a datatable, based on date.
I am using Datatable.compute to sum the relevant rows, at least I'm trying to!
CrTot is a variable of type double
BankTrans is a datatable
dteRecDte is a datetimepicker component
CrTot = BankTrans.Compute("sum(bank_amount)",
"bank_amount > 0 And date_bank_reconciled <="
& dteRecDte.Value.Date)
doing the sum calculation on it's own works properly. I now need to check that the date of the "date_bank_reconciled" field is less than or equal to the value of the date entered in the datetimepicker "dteRecDte.Value.Date", so that only rows with a date either less than or the same as that in the datetimepciker are returned.
I have an SQL table(for example, it have 1 column "kod" with 3 rows:1,2,3 ). To operate it, I used class LINQ to SQL and I create tmp dataset with one table, with one column "col" with values - 2,3,4. To operate with this tmp table i use IEnumerable(T).I want to find only new values in tmp table and write its in SQL table. To find this values, i want to use LINQ query. Queris to each table are worked well. But query for 2 tables don't work.

How do I perform an sql query onto a DataTable not a Database table?
View 1 RepliesI wrote a procedure that builds a DataTable in memory using data stored on our DB2 database. The function builds a Multi-Level Bill of Materials (BoM), meaning that the data cannot simply be queried. The function works great and returns a nicely arranged DataTable object. However, I then need to query the in-memory DataTable against other tables on our server. What would be the best way to approach this problem? Should I make a DataTableAdapter for the Server tables and then build a DataView? I don't have too much experience yet with Data objects. (By the way, I looked into LINQ to DB2 and even installed IBM's addin's, but our server doesn't seem to support it at this time.)

I'm trying to query a DataTable to get a collection of rows but I'm finding that my search string has to be the exact length of the columns width. So, for example this won't work:
Dim rows As DataRow() = (From r In myTable.AsEnumerable() Where r.Field(Of String)("fname") = "Bob").ToArray()
...but this will:
Dim rows As DataRow() = (From r In myTable.AsEnumerable() Where r.Field(Of String)("fname") = "Bob ").ToArray()
The search term ("Bob") has to be padded with spaces to make it equal in length to the column width (10 characters). Is this how it's supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?Also, how can I do a LIKE search? So for example, I want to search for all names that start with "Bo" or whatever. ie. "Bo*".
I have a string like "Hello'World" and a Data Table with some records in it. One of those records is "Hello'World".he problem is, when I do a .Select in the Data Table, it only tries to search for the "Hello" part and throws an error on "World" because it interprets the ' (single. cuote) like the closing cuote on sql.DataTable.select("text = 'Hello'World'")I have gone through msdn doc, and it says I can escape some characters with [] brackets or f.slashes , but I just can't figure out: .select("text = 'Hello[']world'")

I have a project I have a dataset that contains tables In the dataset designer, each table has a defaiult FILL command set. I have draged and droped my table as a grid onto my form VB automatically sets up the table adapter, and binding source to make it all work.
in my code, is placed in the form load routine, a tableadapter.fill(dataset.datatable)
Here is my dilemma. The data in my table may have 100's of thousands or rows.
I have presented the user with a front end that allows for filterring and selecting based on several columns. reguardless of how many rows the result set contains, there will always be the same columns in the dataset.
Because there are so many combinations of select query, i do not want to make 20 or 30 custom fillby's in the dataset. I want to make an addhoc select query and have the binding source and table adapters work as expected. I have created a query called "FillByCustom" in the dataset designer attached to the DataTable Adapter section.
My question is this.
If i build a select query that returns the desired rows, how do i place it into the adapter in place of the FILLBYCUSTOM select command, such that it all works as expected?

I'm trying to do a LINQ Query against a typed datatable that will return me duplicated data.With out going into too much detail, here's the basic setup:
strCode1 - string type
intCode1 - int32 type
intAdjustor - int32
There are more fields but these are the ones that are important.I'm going to do my best to describe this, as it's kind of confusing.In theory intCode1 is a key for strCode1 (hence the names). So each time intCode1 is duplicated, the same strCode1 should appear. Example:
[code]...
Ultimately I'd like to get a List(Of T) - where T is my typed data row. In SQL, I would simply use a sub query, to get a distinct list of strCode1 and intCode1, then do a count, grouped by strCode1 where I get more than one row.I'm not sure how to translate that into LINQ, AND get the original types data rows returned in a list.
I am using VB 2005 and MS Access 2007.Some of business name has apostrophe(') and I need to know how SQL deal with this name.For example
sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM AddressTable WHERE BusinessName=" & "'" & updateBName & "'"
in this case, if updateBName is "Den's Nail", the real SQL is
"SELECT * FROM AddressChangeTable WHERE BusinessName='Den's Nail'"
and this code generates Error Message.Is there any way to prevent error ?Or do I have to remove all apostrophe(') in Business Name?
I have a xml file that should contain a apostrophe in one of the nodes name. Now as far as I can see it can't be done but put a bit of light into this. So the node should look like this

Now I'm sure that the xml is not correct, but how can I bypass this?
