VS 2008 : Characteristics Of Primary Key In The Table?
Oct 24, 2009
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 explanation about the characteristics of primary key in the table?

I 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?

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.

Dim dbSource As String
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection

I understand this means my table doesnt have a primary key, but i have set one.

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?

How 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.

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?"

I'm looking for in depth information about Visual Basic. For example, Scoping and binding behaviors, subprogram and package facilities, etc.
Edit:I'm looking for information such as: VB uses lexical or dynamic scoping; binding for X happens at compile time/load time/runtime and is static or dynamic. Basically a more in depth look at the characteristics of the language.

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 defined a database using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, and connected to it using Visual Basic 2010 Express. For some reason though, when I use the database in the program, it wants to start off using a negative primary key.Is there any way to make the primary key only a positive number?

I have two similar databases and i want to update a table of one database from the other, so insert new records, delete records that are not in the source and update different values.I use the dataadapter update method but it not recognize the primary key, so it only work when the destination table is empty. Otherwise i have an exception of duplicate primary key.The databases are sqlite but i tried with access too with the same error (different message due to different provider but the two times saying that cant insert because the primary key is duplicate).
My code is:
vb
Private Function updatetable()

I have quite a complicated database with a lot of relations and I need to make form that gets data from all kinds of tables and calculate prices etc... Another important thing is, when I open/load a report in my application, I want to be able to filter it using the Primary key. I don't want all records in my database to be shown. I know for sure this can be done but I don't know how.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and MS Access 2007.
I have linked the database to vs2008.
The first problem I have now is how to add all the data to the combobox from access 2007? [I have solved this myself accidentally.]
The second problem I have is I cannot save the primary key.
Assume that I have these:
Table name: tCustomer
Fields:
ID Datatype [Text]
[Code]....
Now, the user fills in the form. The ID cannot be edited by them where it's automatically counts the number of customer in database and give the id. For example, I already have 3 customers in the database so when I add new Customer, it will be 4 for the ID.
When I click save, it shows me the message of "Index or primary key cannot contain a Null value." I have set an input mask for my Customer. So, can I make it to save in a format like CT001, CT002, CT003 automatically?

Lets say we have an Access file in a well known path (i.e. "C:MyFolderMyFile.mdb"). That file does not have a primary key set on the table we are interested in . Is it possible to set one of the fields as a primary key (for example the "ID" field , which is also an AutoNumber data) ? And one more thing : I'd like to change the name of a field on that table . For example , lets say there is a field called "My Field 1" (note the space characters) and we want it to be renamed as "My_Field_1" . If it's possible , I'd like both these changes to be permanent in the data base file itself , not just in the imported DataSet ,
