Sql - Query Column Names That Contain Square Brackets?
May 4, 2012
I have a csv that I need to parse into a gridview in vb.net. If I do SELECT *, I get the data without issue. However, I am in a situation where I need to reference the actual column names. And problem is, I have no control over the app that generates the csv, and they make the column names enclosed in square brackets.
How the heck can I do something like this:
Dim cmdSelect As New OleDbCommand(SELECT "[name], [height] FROM myTable")
so I get a return of data?
So, in an effort to be perfectly clear: I have an app that creates a csv with the column headers [name] and [height] in a table called myTable, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to return [name] and [height] specifically.

I have some existing code that looks something like this:
[tag:cb cbid="12345" cbwidth="200" cbclassname="calloutbox" cbposition="left"] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
[tag:cb cbid="123" cbwidth="200" cbclass="calloutbox2" cbposition="left"] Suspendisse eleifend enim a magna pretium porttitor.
I need to write a VB .Net global function that will match these [tag:cb] and take the optional parameters and rewrite the string with Html tags.
<div id="12345" width="200" class="calloutbox" position="left">content (based on id)</div>

The name "Debit" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted.

I'm trying to make a database program in VB 2008 and have come across a problem with a query that I'm not sure how to solve. I have a combo box which contains names of teams that are held within the database, when a team name is selected I have 4 queries that will separate players (in that team) by their position, using this information I will then be able to display information about the players in a collection objects so that it can be edited and what not.
My problem is that I need to be able to refer to the records in the query so that I can assign a players details to objects on the form, I've used a piece of code to do so that I used previously to select individual records from a table, however when I click on a team in the combo box it throws up the error: "Could not format node 'ClientQuery' for execution as SQL.". Not being a particularly experienced VB programmer this error doesn't exactly mean too much to me, although I am not exactly sure of another way to tackle the problem.
The code for this query is:
Dim GK(3, 2) As String
Dim c As Integer = 0
For Each Record In GoalkeeperQuery
[CODE]...
All the fields in the query are strings. If this is not enough information I can post the query I used to select the records in the query used above or anything else that's related.

I have the following code to get the column names from my Microsoft Access database.THE PROBLEM is that the stupid thing orders it alphabetically for me. How do I get it to put the columns in order the way they are in the database?[code]I've also tried a different approach with a string array and for loop to "make it" go to the beginning, but proves my point that its stupid enough to order it for me.

I have to create a report that lists tests that a student has taken and how they answered each question...the column header layout (roughly) looks like:
Test #1 1 2 3 4 5 Test #2 1 2 3 4 5
TestA A B C D E TestB C C B C E
The problem is that the Gridview doesn't seem to like repetitive column names and is renaming the second set of Question #s to something else.

I have a table in a Access Database that I'm loading into a VB.NET program and I want a way to get the name of each of the columns into a list of Strings. Googling has shown that this is much easier with a SQL database, but that doing so in Access is much more difficult. I came across this question Is there a query that will return all of the column names in a Microsoft Access table? Which gives a way to do it, but when I try the code it just populates my list with a bunch of "System.Collections.Generic.List'1[System.String]"
This is my adapted code.
Public Function GetColumns(ByRef database As String, ByRef table_name As String, ByRef columns As List(Of String)) As Integer
Dim com As OleDbConnection
Try
com = New OleDbConnection(database)
com.Open()

My for each loop isn't printing the right string. Should be Console.WriteLine(holding)

My question is how best to avoid SQL Injection with the method I am currently using.EDIT (Reasoning): There are many of columns in a number of tables (a number which grows (only) and is maintained elsewhere). I need a method of allowing the user to decide which (predefined) column they want to query (and if necessary apply string functions to). The query itself is far too complex for the user to write themselves, nor do they have access to the db. There are 1000's of users with varying requirements and I need to remain as flexible as possible - I shouldn't have to revisit the code unless the main query needs to change - Also, there is no way of knowing what conditions the user will need to use

I have a gridview where I need to have column names within 1 sortable pageable gridview as the same name, but when I set up the sql query as
select x as 'col', y as 'col', z as 'col'
it shows up in the gridview with autogeneratecolumns on (theres a lot of columns in the page I don't feel like not autogenning it)
and it shows up as
col
col1
col2
in the gridview but I want it to just be col, col, and col. I understand that this could cause a sorting problem without turning autogenerate columns off, but I was hoping there was some type of work around.
