Update An Access Database With A Column Which Is An Expression?
Aug 8, 2009
I have an access database with several tables. in one of the tables there are three columns named quantity, price and total cost.total cost is an expression of (quantity * price). the expression looks grate in the datagrid etc but when I need to save it to the database
While looking in the dataset designer for a database table I am doing in visual basic 2008 I found a line for expressions under the property menu for a specific column. I need to know the code that I would put in this expression line so that this column adds up the numbers I input into three other columns and displays that number in the column. I need it to automatically calculate this for each row in the database table.
Im trying to add columns to my database through VB.NET. I have a MS Access database (MDB format). It has a table in it called "TestTable" and that table has only one field in it "FirstField". It has no data in it yet. I want to add columns to it first and then fill data.
VB.NET i have only one colum in back end database that is roll. .. Now i want to update a particular data .. the data types is integer.. i has a data like 12 and i ant to update it 13 how can i do..
This program is very difficult for me, but I must get threw it or I cannot finish... What I am doing is making a Database of foreign Languages with the spelling of the words and the pronounciation inside the database... The USER enters a paragraph of words into the translator textbox and pushed translate. The program has a DATABANK of words with the phonetic spellings and matches the word, then translates to phonetics. The problem is that new words keep appearing inside the language. So I incorporated a Database of 2 fields
I created a dataset and i am using OleDbDataAdapter to insert new values to access database. But when i close the program and after open it, values are not in the database. How can i solve this problem? Also, i have another problem. When i write codes that
I am doing project in vb.net using ms access I used listview to display data from table I want to display different context menu strip for different column I have done it using hard logic to get column number is as follows:
Private Function getClickedColumn(ByVal pListView As ListView, ByVal pMouseX As Integer) As Integer Dim result As Integer = 0
[Code].....
Also i want to edit any cell of the listview & update its result to database .
I have a gridview loaded with data from my database and a gridview swapping function which after exchanging data between rows with a column call "Priority", I want to save these changes back to my database. Only the "Priority" column value will be change, how do I update only that Column of my dataset table to my SQL database?
I'm having problems with the updating of my datagridview. I can update to the MS Access database. The problem is I cannot update to my datagridview!-[code]
I am trying to update a field in a MS Access database and it appears to be working but it keeps coming up with an error on the last line "executeNonQuery", I think it has something to do with data type but not sure.
Using conProduct cmd1 = New OleDbCommand("UPDATE tblSODetails SET StartTime = " & soStartTime & " WHERE SO = " & CurSO & "", conProduct)
I have created a datagrid and populated it with data from a database. When the data is changed, I try to update the database and I get an error without any description of what the error is.to fill the grid:
dsjobs.Clear() With dbAdaptr 'populate jobs table Dim SQLStr As String = "Select * from jobs"
How can I do that? I already have the code I'm working on but it seems that it doesn't work really fine. I input an id number(unique) on a text box and click the search button. The entries that corresponds to the id number is then displayed on the other text boxes. And then I try to edit one of the entries manually(changing its letters or name) then I click the update button.
Here is now the problem: It really updates the entry but it makes a mirror of the entry with a different id number(maybe automatically generated). So basically the ms access database will now contain the old entry and the updated version of the entry.
My program has an access database with a table called "Contacts". This table stores many values. I have a seperate table that stores surveys. Each contact should have a column for every survey, indicating whether or not the survey has been completed. However, this means I need to add columns to the database while the program is running. I tried the following code, which runs WITHOUT errors, but does not seem to actually add the column.
contactsDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Contacts", frmAdmin.con) contactsCommandBuilder = New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(contactsDataAdapter) dtContacts.Clear()
I'm using vb2005express for forms (front-end) and ms access database. I have a form with a master-detail setup. The problem I'm having is that when I set the primary key column to autonumber, I don't get the pk value generated in ms access database into my master datatable in forms when a new record is created. Then I tried setting the AutoIncreament to True in the pk column of the datatable in my dataset (forms). This generates a number in my pk column but its not the number generated in the database (since I think because the pk column is still set to AutoNumber). So I change the field property of my pk to Number in the access database and on my dataset (forms), i still have AutoIncrement to True.
This works okay since what it seems to be doing is getting the max value for the pk column when the datatable is filled upon form load. The problem now is that I normally don't do tableadapter.fill(datatable) at form load since I think there would be a performance issue if record counts around millions. What happens now is that when I create a new record, the pk generated is still 1 which will cause duplicate violation when saving to database. I'm not quite familiar with access features but in oracle, what I do is I create a sequence in database then I create a function that gets the next value of the sequence. Then at form load I set the datatable.column.default_value = get_sequence. How do I do this in ms access?
Code to insert and update the record. I read the record sucessfully but without exception applied. I want also use the try catch statement for catch exception if generate. I want to know only sql query with in the try catch or datset connection adapter all in the try catch.
I am trying to update a Database via a form. In the update button I Have the below code HTML Dim bm As BindingManagerBase = frmFindCustomer.DataGridView1.BindingContext( _ frmFindCustomer.DataGridView1.DataSource, frmFindCustomer.DataGridView1.DataMember) dr = CType(bm.Current, DataRowView).Row 'This gets a reference to the row currently being edited 'dr.BeginEdit() [Code] ..... I do not get any error messages but the database is not getting updated.
I am an experienced VB6 programmer trying to adapt to the vb.net mindset. I am using Visual Basic 8 and I am using Microsoft Access 2003 as my database. I have spent the past 6 hours trying to do something as simple as updating my database for the following event. Everything I find on the net is either using SQL server or bound controls (which I don't think can work here).
I have a login page (gets the data from the database)( which then opens my main form. This works fine. I then have a menu item that allows the user to change his password. After doing all the appropriate validity checks, the program is supposed to save the new password back to the database. This does not work. I have a textbox where the user enters the new password. How do I set up (in code) the appropriate objects to then save the data. The pertinent code is below. I have left off the connection string (cn) as I know it works.
I have a form in vb8 that is set up as follows: I have a table in my Access database calledUsers that has a name and a password (encrypted). Using the toolbar I created aBindingSource with a name of UsersBindingSource and a dataSource ofUsers Using the toolbar I created aDataset called with a Name and a DatasetName called Users_Dataset Using the toolbar I created atableAdapter called UsersTableAdapter I added two textboxes on the form and changed theirDatabindings...Text property to the corresponding field in the Database.
How to now update the database when I click Update. What the program needs to do first is encrypt the Password before saving it. I wrote the code in the TextBox2.Lostfocus event to encrypt the data a place it back into the TestBox2 field. The only samples I find on the net refer to DataGridView controls (which work) but I don't want to use them. How can I get the database to accept these changes as well as changes to radio buttons or comboboxes?
i have access database. its data is laoded to datagridview in vb.net langauge. i want to edit some data in the datagridview and this edit should be save in the database too when i press button edit. i used this code but it is edit for only one time and if i do any action before it it will not work.
Dim ConnString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:UsersHaidarDesktopcustomer listNewFarahnetFarahnetCustomers.mdb" Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY Fname ASC" private da As OleDbDataAdapter
I've been perusing some hep forums and some help books but cant seem to get my head wrapped around this. My task is to read data from two text files and then load that data into an existing MS Access 2007 database. So here is what i'm trying to do:
Read data from first text file and for every line of data add data to a DataTable using CarID as my unique field. Read data from second text file and look for existing CarID in DataTable if exists update that row. If it doesnt exist add a new row. once im done push the contents of the DataTable to the database.
What i have so far:
Dim sSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM tblCars" Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sSQL, conn) Dim ds As New DataSet
[Code].....
In constructing my table i use "SELECT * FROM tblCars" but what if that table has millions of records already. Is that not a waste of resources? Should i be trying something different if i want to update with new records?
Once Im done with the first text file i then go to my next text file. Whats the best approach here: To First look for an existing record based on CarNum or to create a second table and then merge the two at the end?
Finally when the DataTable is done being populated and im pushing it to the database i want to make sure that if records already exist with three primary fields (DriveDate, DCode, and CarNum) that they get updated with new fields and if it doesn't exist then those records get appended. Is that possible with my process?
