DataSource Controls :: Datatable Data Types And Command Parameter Datatype?
Apr 7, 2010
I am using VS 2008.I am building a datatable of records to be inserted into a SQL Server 2005 table.
The program loops through this table and builds a SqlParameter for each DataColumn in the datatable. The SqlParameters are used in the SQL Insert statement.
The field I am having a problem with is of type 'bit' in the database table and has no default value and cannot be nulls. The field is called 'Active' The meaning of this field in the application is Boolean i.e True or False. When inserting the record, I wish to default the field to "False".
When I define the columns in the datatable I am forced to use the following code to build the datatcolumn containing the boolean field i.e. dtcActive.DataType = GetType(Boolean) as there is no GetType(Bit)
Dim dtcActive As New DataColumn("Active")
dtcActive.DataType = GetType(Boolean)
dtcActive.Unique = False
dtcActive.AllowDBNull = False
dtcActive.DefaultValue = False
dtProviderDayDetails.Columns.Add(dtcActive)
However, when I build the SqlParameter I am forced to use this:
If field.ColumnName = "Active" Then
prm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Bit
prm.Value = "False"
End If
This is because there is no SqlDbType.Boolean. The problem I have is there is no value I have been able to give the SqlParameter that is accepted by the Insert statement. It complains that the boolean field cannot be null on Insert.
i have the dataset with one table.Table contains three column like 'Name','Location','Pin'.I would like to move the data from another table based on schema.
I want to issue an INSERT command for an SQL Server table using DataAdapter without first issuing a SELECT command. Could anybody send me lines of code to handle this? Also how do i manage INSERT into selective table columns (I have 10 columns but i only want to update 2 of them)?
I have a bit of code in a clickevent handler like this:-
Dim products = From p In db.Products where p.product_name = "Tool" Select New With {p.Product_ID,p.Product_name} Gridview1.Datasource = products GridView1.Databind()
But causes error=SQL Server does not handle comparison of NText, Text, Xml, or Image data types?
I'm loading data from my database into a DataTable, and one of the columns is a date field.
[Code]....
I'd like to format that column so that instead of containing a full date, it will be formatted like "MM/DD/YYYY".
I've tried looping through each row in the table and changing the cell for that column, but I get an error saying that the string isn't a valid DateTime object.
I tried changing the column DateType to a string, but I get an error saying I can't change the DateType after the table is filled.
How can I do this? This seems like such a simple thing, but I'm having so much trouble with it.
Yes..i know this is ASP.NEt forums but the SQL server doubt i will be going to ask is related to ASP.NET
I have a table 'a' in my database where i store User information - each time they visit the website a new record is added
so in a high traffic website - the information will be collectively huge(i dont care about this as i have too much of disk space)
but the problem here is with the primary key - I want a datatype of the primary key which should never end Bigint can store some zillions of records but it finally ends... how will i be able to accomplish it.
I'm using DAAB from MS Ent Library 4.1. I have this function in my DAL that returns a dataset.
[Code]....
However, it is failing with this error:Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Boolean. But if I use SqlDbType.VarChar instead it works fine. I want to use Char b/c that is the correct datatype in SQL.In my SP the param is @CUSTNMBR char(15). In my database table the field is also char(15).
I want to filter by database result based on the current date. I have a grid layout which will display the result based on the current date. I am using parameterized query for getting the result but it is not working.given below is the query i am using
I have been looking for a way to convert C# datatype into database specific type of MS SQL. For example when I do [Code]....
I would get System.GUID or something like that but what I want is UniqueIdentifier instead of System.GUID. In most cases, I would also want the length of the type like varchar(1000) and stuff like that. Is there anyway I could convert or get similiar result ?
I have a problem and I could not solve it. Hope you can write a sample code for me. I have a Microsoft Access database, and in asp.net website, i draw a grid view on the design page. I also configure the source data access. It works, but display all the data in the database. i want to display all the data which is related to John. sql = "select username, customer_name, phone from db where username = John" how do i configure the data grid view?
I've inherited a SQL Server 2005 table where there are several colums of the image datatype. I'd like to extract all of those images and save them as files to a folder. How can I do this using VB.NET? Brian
I am using SQL SERVER 2008 database. I have a table Customers in which the CustomerID column is had datatype INT intially but due to increase in Customers the number range is exceeding which may cause error arithmetic overflow of data. Hence I thought to modify the datatype from INT to BIGINT and wrote an alter script but when I ran the script it failed. Hence provide me in creating alter script for the updating the datatype of the primarykey column for the Customers table.
I have two datatables, I want to get all records which are in one datatable but all matching records which exist in another datatable should not be available.
In terms of set, you can say that record which are in 1st datatable but not in 2nd DataTable.
