DataSource Controls :: MSSQL Select A Random Row?

Jan 14, 2010

How can I select a random row and then update or delete it? I've found how to get a random row, using SELECT TOP 1 column FROM table ORDER BY NEWID() do I have to make another select using this result in order to update the row, or it can be done more efficiently?

DataSource Controls :: Mssql 2008 Web Edition Vs Mssql 2008 Express Edition

Jan 27, 2010

I am about to get my sites hosted with a local host company. They are offering me their lowest cost MSSQL server, which is the web edition. So my question is what is the difference between that and 2008 express edition? Can express edition be used for a full fledge in production website? And does Web implies that I will be interacting with it via the web correct. Lastly, if the web version is not chosen what is the typical protocol for uploading and maintaining a site when you have a dedicated server. Do you normally have to go to the data center or is there like a web portal that can be used. I will be asking the guys at the company these questions as well, but I want to make sure I get another opinion on the issue.

DataSource Controls :: MSSQL And Plesk?

May 17, 2010

I asked plesk the following question:I've been through the documentation and scoured various forums, but I can't find a defintive guide to uploading an mssql db (contained in a app_data folder) to the server and conecting it via the Plesk control panel. I've created a db and user via the panel but how do I get the actual db to the server and get it to work?"and they replied:"For database restoration please upload your database backup file ( i.e. .bak ) under your hosting space and update us the exact path where you place this file + your database login details ( i.e. database name , database user name and password ). So we restore this database for you. "

DataSource Controls :: Data In Website Not The Same As In MSSQL Db?

Jul 7, 2010

On the internet we bought/hired a CRM product. When we enter a new project this datarecord (on their MSSQL DB) is transferd to our local MSSQL DB.

Internally we got a seperate application that uses the project information.

So after an insert project on the CRM side (on the internet) the data is transferred to our DB. When i check the internal application I see the project. All nice and sweet.

BUT when I alter (UPDATE) a project in the CRM internet application this data is pushed to our DB and i see the data in the table. But it doesnt show up in the internal webapplication. When i restart the website in IIS it still doesnt. Only when i restart the entire IIS the data is updated in my internal application.

Used techniques:

.NET 3.5MSSQL 2005LINQ to SQL The only thing i can imagine is that LINQ to SQL has a own cache or something. If so... how to disable it

DataSource Controls :: Retrieve A Certain Mssql Field And Use It As Value Source In An Object?

Mar 19, 2010

I'm an experienced PHP programmer that is new to ASP.net (C#). I'm trying to figure out how to do a manual echo of a specific field from an SQL database and was wondering how you do an if condition in case the field would meet certain criteria ?

What I want the script to do is check in the database if a certain condition is activated, then the html page should echo a windows media player object with the source of the video coming from the database itself ( $line[Video], and if the condition isn't active then either don't echo the player or just echo an old video (in the script I'm just printing a message).

SQL Server :: Random Select With Multiple Criteria?

Dec 29, 2010

I am working on a project for a market research company that needs to select and have it displayed to my gridview. I need a select statement that will randomly put on my gridview the following:

Recruitment Goal 21 people and out of those people 10 people have to be male, 11 people female, 9 of them white, 9 of them black, 2 of them hispanic. Is there a way I could do that? I was thinking of doing a stored procedure and doing something like

Select TOP 10 * from Canidates where sex = 'Male' order by newid() Into #tmp
Select TOP 11 * from Canidates where sex = 'Female' order by newid() Into #tmp
Etc... and then just selecting from the Temp Table.

DataSource Controls :: Programmatically Setting ODS Select Method And Select Parameters?

Dec 22, 2010

The drop down list is used to determine what search criteria will be used to find an invoice. I tried to set the Select method in the switch statement. I don't understand how to set the Select Method and the select parameters programmatically though . I tried a few different ways but can't make the compiler happy. My ODS is in scope in the code behind. I'm not able to access it's properties though. The BAL resides in a separate project that is a ClassLibrary. I also have a using statement for the ClassLibrary project in the code behind.

give me an example of how to do this?
