Using An UpdateCommand To Update An Access Table From In-memory Datatable
Dec 15, 2011
I have a table in Access with two key fields (let's call them Item and Cust). These key fields *combined* are the primary key. So each record must have a unique Item and User combination. It can have a duplicate Item with other records, and a duplicate Cust with other records, but not a duplicate of both. Because my "primary key" is a combination of two fields, I can't make a primary key on the table in Access (it only supports one field as a primary key).
I have another table in SQLServer which also has Item and Cust, but in addition, is has several descriptive fields that give more details about the Item and Cust. I'm trying to use ADO.NET to bring in that SQL Server table and UPDATE some matching fields in Access with the descriptive fields. [Code]
What'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?"
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dllerror in line: dbAdp.Update(dbDset) in btnSave_Click, (elseif editflag = true) blockdescription: Update unable to find TableMapping['Table'] or DataTable 'Table'I was also wondering if I could simply use the ExecuteNonQuery for the delete statement, but since I've placed my data in a datarow, I'm not sure if i can actually use it. Any thoughts on this? Btw, this is my first time using a datarow, and I've recently been studying how to use ADO.net.
dr = dbDset.Tables(0).Rows(CurIndex) dr.Delete() dbAdp.Update(dbDset.Tables("addresses"))
I used the DataSet Designer to create FTWDataSet which holds the AlarmText table from a SQLExpress database.This far my form contains ONLY Datagridview1.The code below successfully shows the contents of the AlarmText table plus the one added checkbox column (which I will populate with display-only data, and is not an issue here).
Dim ta As New FTWDataSetTableAdapters.AlarmTextTableAdapter Dim dt As New FTWDataSet.AlarmTextDataTable ta.Fill(dt)[code]....
What else do I need to do to use the DataGridView to edit and save values in the AlarmText table?
I would like to send json data from a HTML table to the ASP.NET code-behind and update the data in and SQL Server database. The code and JSON for the TableProductToUpdate() is below.
function UpdateProductTable() { $.ajax({ type: "POST",
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?
I need to Update Access Database Table with Data from a Different Table. Not all the rows of original Table to be Updated will be affected. How do you loop through the 2 Tables to do the required Update.
The Table to be updated is called "RecordList" and Table with new Data is called "RecListReport".Every attempt I've made won't work. I tried to Use 2 Datagridviews but couldn't get it to work right.
NewTestConn() Dim Testconn2 As New OleDbConnection(NewTestConn1) Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter
Update requires valid UpdateCommand passed DataRow collection modified rows. When I run the following code. But the strange thing is that I have similar code on another form and it works great. The only difference is the database table is different. I verified both tables and they look identical, as far as settings. I have verified that _Non_MS_Office_Licenses has a primary key that is unique. Looking in dataset manager I see the query for fillBy() is fine and it has all the insert and update stuff. At the end when it verifies it says all is verified when I configure the dataset
Dim row = FrmApp.Non_MS_Office_LicensesBindingSource.Current row("Primary User") = Replace(CStr(TxtUserid.Text), "'", "`") row("Staff Last Name") = Replace(CStr(TxtLastName.Text), "'", "`") row("Staff First Name") = Replace(CStr(TxtFirstName.Text), "'", "`")
I'm having trouble updating a sql server database with a dataset using a dataadapter. I have used the dataadapter with success in the past when adding new rows, using a single table, and just calling the dataadapter.update command.However, I am now running into a more complex scenario and I need to use dataadapter.UpdateCommand method and I'm having lots of problems.
The sql statement that I'm using to fill the dataset looks like this: "Select [Order Details].ProductID, [Order Details].UnitPrice, [Order Details].Quantity, [Order Details].Discount, Products.ProductName From [Order Details] INNER JOIN Products ON [Order Details].ProductID = Products.ProductID Where OrderID='" & strOrderID & "'", sqlConn"
This is pulling the data from 2 different tables (Order Details and Products) and then joining them and filling the dataset, and I am seeing the exact results I want. I am then binding the dataset to a datagrid control that allows the user the option to edit the datagrid, which in turn updates the dataset.
So that being said how do I get the updated dataset back into the database? I tried using dataadapter.update but it informed me that I now need to use dataadapter.UpdateCommand. Ok, so I've looked up how to use UpdateCommand but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set up the right sql command statement. Part of what has me confused is the UpdateCommand examples I have seen are working with a specific row and updating that rows data. I can get that to work but I want all changes to the dataset to persist and update to the database when the user is done working on the datagrid.
Also, the examples shown set up command parameters but again, this is only confusing me because I just want to send the whole dataset back to the database. It seems like the parameters are saying "Ok, this specific row in this specific dataset.table, update these specific fields in this specific database". I'm not sure how to accomplish that when working with a datagrid.
I'm having some trouble trying to export a datatable to Access. I've built an Access DB and Table identical to the datatable that I'm trying to export using ADOX.Now using and OLEDB connection I'm trying to populate that table. The following code works just fine in another app written in 2005 but not in 2008 for some reason.
Basically I'm bringing in the empty Access table into a dataset.Filling that table with the rows from the export datatable.Then running the dataadapter's update method to send the data to Access.The problem is the da_a.Update doesn't seem to work. No errors, the Access table just isn't being populated. I checked my before and after counts. I know that the datatable is being populated. It's just not landing in Access.
Dim conn_a As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strFullFileName) conn_a.Open() 'Select Access Table into new Dataset[code]....
I'm trying to save the edits I'm doing to a dataset by using the tableadapter.update command and get this error when I attempt to do so:
Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows.Whats the correct syntax for doing this? I have this as the update command in my
Private Sub SaveExceptionButton(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles saveexceptionsButton.Click Try Me.Validate() Me.Scratchpad3BindingSource.EndEdit()
I've created a Point of Sale program using Access and VB.net. I have an Inventory table from which items are sold. There is a quantity column and I want to be able to reduce the quantity for any item by the quantity that was sold in the point of sale front end. For example, there are 5 bracelets in inventory and 1 is sold. The quantity is typed into a textbox. The inventory quantity should now be 4 in Access. I don't know how to make this happen from the point of sale screen.
I am building a VB table which syncs with Access using multiple forms. I have managed to complete the first form. For the second form i am trying to add information into the database and save it. i do not know where i am going wrong with the code. with the code i am using it keeps bringing up errors. I am very new to VB and do not understand them.
Public Class Form2 Dim sqlString As String Dim connectionString As String Dim dataAdapter As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter

--I dont received an error message when i run the codes i even dont receive an exception message. but when i check my database the record was not added.
new to vs2010 express trying to accomplish a simple task read records from a sql server DB table and add them to a table (different format eventually) in an access DB Sample code below seems to work ok up to the point of the data actually showing up in the access table.
i'm using vs2010 i'm trying to update access table from text file that problem is that the 3rd column of the table is memo which wrote in many line in the text file i tried alot but didnt figure away to make it done this is my code so far
vb Dim message As String Dim lineindex As Integer = 0 Dim objStreamReader As StreamReader = File.OpenText(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
I have looked at multiple posts regarding this issue, but can't seem to find a solution. To keep it simple I have an Access database with a single table. It does have a field as a primary key. When I click the save icon on the Binding Navigator I get this error having to do with the following code:
I cannot set the Refresh the Data Table check box in Advanced Options of the TableAdapter Configuration Wizard as it is grayed out. Once again, I have a primary key.
The posts I have reviewed indicate that an UpdateCommand needs to be created, but I can't understand how it should be done. W
I have looked all over for a solution to this problem and have tried a bunch of different things, but nothing seems to work.I have a sub procedure that does the following:
1) adds two columns to a data table (table1)
2) fills a dataset with several tables in order to make calculations (this determines the data that will be stored in the two new columns of table1)
3) updates ONLY table1, and ONLY the two columns that have just been added (these columns are thus empty for every row before the update begins)
As it is now, the da.Update takes about 3 hours to populate the entire table (it updates about 300 records per MINUTE if I'm lucky). There are approximately 40000 records in table1 for this test subset, but there will eventually be up to 1.5-2 million (in other words, this is a small table currently). I have tried using executenonquery() along with a sql UPDATE command instead of da.Update, as well as many other things, but none of them has improved performance at all. I've also tested it on two PCs, one running Vista and one XP, and there were no differences. I'm using Access 2003. I know Access is not ideal, but for now it is the only option.
I know that the root of this is the line of code with the da.Update, because the giant loop before it that I previously thought was causing the slowdown executes in 30 seconds, leaving only the update before the subroutine is complete. I don't know how exactly the da.Update works, but I've suspected that maybe it has something to do with that? Code is below:
i have a problem to retreive whole rows of a datagridview and transfer to my new access database in vb environment anyone can give me advice or examples of how to do it ? for example my datagridview colums have JOB_NO, ERR_DESC , REMARK
now i would to post all row (not selected datagridrow) from this datagridview to my new database .. i search at google using row count may do the job but i still fail on ...
I am writing a small program to update data in a SharePoint list. Now where I cannot develop or use applications for SharePoint unless I am on a SharePoint server, I thought I would cheat the system by using Access to link to SharePoint lists, and then use Visual Basic to play with the Access tables. I need additional functionality other than what VBA can provide me, so that is why I am using the VB layer.Is it possible that this is not permitted? Whenever I try to update an item in the table, I receive the message:
"cannot update '(expression)'; field not updatable"
The word 'expression' here is not a filler I added, this is the actual error.If I try to make the edit manually in the table using Access, it works fine (I haven't tried it through Access VBA yet...).
How my code works is this:I have a Dataset added to the project which connects to the Access database. I add one of the tables to the dataset and create a Class object to reference the table adapter (essentially a Data Access Layer). I can read all of the data fine, and when a change is made in SharePoint, my application sees the updates when it refreshes. But when I try to write back to the table I get the error message above.
For Each r As DataRow In TableAdapter.GetData.Select("Name LIKE '*" & FileName & "*'")
[code]....
There are other columns in the table and some of them have default null values. I only want to update these two fields, but it almost seems like this is not possible. I thought I might be somehow opening the Dataset in a Read Only mode, but I can't seem to find that option anywhere.
