Query Designed For MySQL Translated To Work For SQL Server 2005?
Apr 10, 2010
I've spent a whole day on this already without figuring it out. I'm hoping somebody can help me translate the following MySQL query to work for SQL Server 2005:
SELECT MAX ( messages.date ) AS maxdate,
topics.id AS topicid, topics.*, users.*
FROM messages, topics, users WHERE messages.topic_id
= topics.id AND topics.user_id = users.id AND
topics.forum_id = " . $forumid . " GROUP BY
messages.topic_id ORDER BY maxdate DESC
$forumid is a QueryString value defined in the following VB.NET code-behind code:
We use LINQ to SQL extensively, and one of the biggest performance pitfalls we've run into is situations where a query can't be converted to SQL, and so an entire database table gets loaded into memory and the query performed by .NET. For example, this query
Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=MyContactID) translates to a simple SQL query, whereas Dim Foo = (From c in Db.Contacts Select c Where c.ContactID=SafeInt(MyContactID))
doesn't because SafeInt is our own function and doesn't have a SQL equivalent; so the whole contacts table gets loaded into memory and searched by LINQ to objects, which is vastly slower. With a little experience, we've gotten better at avoiding this kind of situation. But it's not always obvious, and this is the sort of problem that's often not revealed until you're working with a lot of data and things start to slow down. Is there a straightforward way to see - whether in Visual Studio or some other way - how LINQ queries will be handled, other than trial and error?
I am am currently developing an application using Visual Basic 2005 and I am also using the .NET MySQL Connector. I have noticed that when the MySQL Connector executes a query the application freezes for a bit so I was wondering if it is possible to create another application with textboxes, labels, etc, that will be hidden and will execute these queries, but the main application will be able to read and modify data on the hidden application so that it won't freeze.
I want to know if it is possible to perform a mySQL query to get a single record (searched for by ID) and then split each field into a seperate text box.I think im ok with the SQLQuery to get the record. its the splitting it into individual text boxes that im strugling with.
I am using Visual Studio 2010. I want to do database connectivity using VB.Net and MS SQL Server 2005. I know 1 way of doing this. Following are the steps...
1. Create a new Data Source Using Data Sources Window. 2. Select the appropriate view like details view/ data grid view for that data source 3. Drag that data source on your form and connectivity is done. Also all the controls are created by the visual studio.
This feature is really cool but I want to learn database connectivity by pure coding without using such advanced features. Also is it possible to do connectivity from a class library ?
I'm writing a program that will be able to start a window service (SQL Server) on demand. Some of our servers have both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 installed. I'd like to run a WMI query on the server (either local or remote) to determine how many instances of SQL are installed, and then start the latest version of SQL server. Install paths to SQL instances / configs can be different due to SAN configuration, so I need to use a WMI query to get the services.
I was using the following query- "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name LIKE '%MSSQL$%' OR Caption = 'MSSQLSERVER' OR Name = 'SQLSERVERAGENT' OR Name LIKE '%SQLAgent$%'" This returns a bunch of SQL services, so I decided to cut it down- "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name LIKE '%MSSQLSERVER%' OR Caption = 'MSSQLSERVER'" But that query still returns other services (i.e. FullText, Active Directory Helper, etc.) that I don't want. Is it possible to create a WMI query to only look for MSSQLSERVER and SQL Server Agent services? Am I missing something?
I am asked to write a front end program in VB 2005 (that will run in client computers which running on Win XP) to access an existing MySQL database running in Linux. It is not my preferred choice, but the user have the database and server working just as he wants it, and do not wish to change, at the same time I do not wish to change programming language. Is that even possible? Can we actually write VB 2005 programs that will run in client computers complete with NET framework 2.0 to access a Linux operating database?
Ok, the basic situation: Due to a few mixed up starts, a project ends up with not one, but three separate databases, each containing a portion of the overall project data. All three databases are the same, it's just that, say 10% of the project was run into the first, then a new DB was made due to a code update and 15% of the project was run into the new one, then another code change required another new database for the rest of the project. Again, the pertinent tables are all exactly the same across all three databases.
Now, assume I wanted to take all three of those databases - bearing in mind that they can't just be compiled into a single databases due to Primary Key issues and so on - and run a single query that would look through all three of them, select a given set of data from each, then compile those three sets into one single result and return it to the reporting page I'm working on.
I have a query from within my vb.net code which searchs for a record by date. The date being entered via the code is in format dd/mm/yyyy, i need to search in the database using yyyy/mm/dd? Ideally i thought there may just be a function within MySQL which will convert this. If not in vb.net to convert the string 01/01/2011 to 2011/01/01?
What i have going on, is i have a MySQL connector as a resource on my application, and im basically trying to connect to my MySQL server, to either a) register a new account, or b) check that the account exists and they are premium, and login, Now what i have run into problems with is: My MySQL Database Name has a _ in it which VB is not allowing for some strange reason.
The code i am using is below
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class Form1
Function UpdateRecord(ByVal query As String) As Integer
[CODE]...
How i can allow the _ into the application, because the only databases that don't have a _ in the user or dbname are a) Paid ones which i DO NOT have the money for or self hosted ones, i cannot leave my computer on 24/7
I've used Teleflex, developerfusion, and SharpDeveloper, and all these, to convert C# to VB, but as most know, there are always errors, and modules left out, and such.Does anybody know of a good VB editor, preferably freeware, and can handle translated VB and offer suggestions to correct it for you? Visual Studio underlines things and offers suggestions on some things, but other things it just underlines and leaves you to the guesswork, which doesn't help a non-coder like me.
I am using stored procedures in my application using vb.net, while executing stored procedures on mysql database server thru application, the response time from the server is more. Is there any settings that i need to set on mysql db server or any changes in connection string or in code.
I'm connecting to my mysql server using ODBC in vb.net, the database is shared throughout the company because it is used in an accounting program (simply accounting), each user has their own account user/pass to login to the database. I have developped a program that uses the accounting database and combines it with other information, my problem is that at least once a day I get this error when I run my program: "(10061) ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on"and the error persists for at least 4 hours, for some reason it starts to work again later on in the day.
May I ask a question to you all.I have vb.net project that generate sales report from SQL Server Database.I changed SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
After that my program can't run properly and every time I got Time Out Expire message.
That program work properly with SQL Server 2005 Express.May I request suggestion how to fix this.
If I run a MySQL query at the same time I have a timer going, the timer lags, even though the query is on a seperate form. My computer has 8GB of RAM, so I doubt that that's the issue. Does VB stop the timer to run the query intentionally? Is there a way to prevent the timer from stopping/ lagging?
I have an application developed in VB.NET 3.5 2010 with MySQL as Database server.I need to generate a report type on on a form datagrid View.In the table i have fields as below
I Need to retrieve the data to a dataset in below format Reviewed_By are repeated in the table, so i need only 1 cell to be filled by the data and the other empty.I used the below SQL code which worked well at MySQL prompt
SET @PrvSupervisor=''; SELECT IF(@PrvSupervisor=Reviewed_By,'',@PrvSupervisor:=Reviewed_By) Reviewed_By,Stage,sum(Review_Status='Int_Approved') as Approved,sum(Review_Status='Retake') as Retake,COUNT(*) AS TotCount,GROUP_CONCAT(Shot_Num) as ShotsList FROM ShotTable WHERE DATE_FORMAT(Review_Date_Time,'%d/%m/%y') LIKE '10/05/12' AND (Review_Status='Retake' OR
[code]....
In the above result as the last 4 rows are from Person2, so only 1st record of that person is having data remaining 3 are empty.but when i used it from VB.NET i am getting below error.
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ':=Reviewed_By) Reviewed_By,Stage,sum(Review_Status='Int_Approved') as Approved,s' at line 1
I cant find whats wrong with this, all I know is it could be the arguments, maybe they are in the wrong order, I dont know... it doesn't pop up any error, it executes the process but nothing happens.
My problem is, when I query by a usual ID, like number with no segments = 1234567890, it works nicely.
But I need to query by some kind of segmented values or ID as = 123-4567-890, when I try by 123-4567-890 this id it does not query anything in mysql although in the database this 123-4567-890 ID is present.
So what is the possible solution to search by segmented value in mysql in VB.NET Here is below, my trying codes in vb
So I'm working with a mysql database, and I already have some queries down. I have to make a windows application form in vb.net that can display the results of these queries in a dataGridView.Lets say I'm working with frm1, and i have datagrid1 which will be filled using the query "select * from xyz" when btn1 is clicked.Can someone please take me through the right steps to do that? References needed, connections to be made, etc. I did look through online materials, but they are mostly way too long and not dataGridView specific
I am trying to to an insert query on my MySql db using VS 2008/VB. I have this query: Insert into allservices StartDate....) values ('" & Me.datesched.Value & "', ....) When I use the single and double quotes, as it is above , I get this error: Quote: Incorrect date value '21/10/2009' for column StartDate at row 1
when I remove the single quotes and have only the double ones I get a completely different thing. The date inserted to the database is 01/01/0001. Even if my datetimepicker has a min and max date. Also if someone has any good links on using mysql with vb.net
i am using MySql with vb.net to insert some data in a MySql table and i am facing a problem with encoding.When i try to insert Greek characters the characters in the database are saved as. I made a research in net and found that a mysql query SET NAMES 'utf8'. Solves the problem. I made an execute command but doesnt work.
I am using VB to query a MySQl database and populate an Excel spreadsheet. All is working well, but now I would like to start distributing the spreadsheet shroughout the company and cannot protect it.If I protect the spreadsheet the VB cannot add the MySQL data, so I added an unprotect line at the start of the code. That works well, but now the sheet is
'Unprotect all sheets Dim WSheet As Worksheet For Each WSheet In Worksheets
I'm trying to write my very first "serious" program using a mysql database. I use the mysql connecter dll to connect with my database. I have a subject and a visit table. I can select a subject and I can get all the visits for all subjects in a list box with:
