Having problems with sqlDataReader - asp.net

I am using a sqlDataReader to get data and set it to session variables. The problem is it doesn't want to work with expressions. I can reference any other column in the table, but not the expressions. The SQL does work. The code is below. Thanks in advance, Anthony
Using myConnectionCheck As New SqlConnection(myConnectionString)
Dim myCommandCheck As New SqlCommand()
myCommandCheck.Connection = myConnectionCheck
myCommandCheck.CommandText = "SELECT Projects.Pro_Ver, Projects.Pro_Name, Projects.TL_Num, Projects.LP_Num, Projects.Dev_Num, Projects.Val_Num, Projects.Completed, Flow.Initiate_Date, Flow.Requirements, Flow.Req_Date, Flow.Dev_Review, Flow.Dev_Review_Date, Flow.Interface, Flow.Interface_Date, Flow.Approval, Flow.Approval_Date, Flow.Test_Plan, Flow.Test_Plan_Date, Flow.Dev_Start, Flow.Dev_Start_Date, Flow.Val_Start, Flow.Val_Start_Date, Flow.Val_Complete, Flow.Val_Complete_Date, Flow.Stage_Production, Flow.Stage_Production_Date, Flow.MKS, Flow.MKS_Date, Flow.DIET, Flow.DIET_Date, Flow.Closed, Flow.Closed_Date, Flow.Dev_End, Flow.Dev_End_Date, Users_1.Email AS Expr1, Users_2.Email AS Expr2, Users_3.Email AS Expr3, Users_4.Email AS Expr4, Users_4.FNAME, Users_3.FNAME AS Expr5, Users_2.FNAME AS Expr6, Users_1.FNAME AS Expr7 FROM Projects INNER JOIN Users AS Users_1 ON Projects.TL_Num = Users_1.PIN INNER JOIN Users AS Users_2 ON Projects.LP_Num = Users_2.PIN INNER JOIN Users AS Users_3 ON Projects.Dev_Num = Users_3.PIN INNER JOIN Users AS Users_4 ON Projects.Val_Num = Users_4.PIN INNER JOIN Flow ON Projects.id = Flow.Flow_Pro_Num WHERE id = "
myCommandCheck.CommandText += QSid
myConnectionCheck.Open()
myCommandCheck.ExecuteNonQuery()
Dim count As Int16 = myCommandCheck.ExecuteScalar
If count = 1 Then
Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader
myDataReader = myCommandCheck.ExecuteReader()
While myDataReader.Read()
Session("TL_email") = myDataReader("Expr1").ToString()
Session("PE_email") = myDataReader("Expr2").ToString()
Session("DEV_email") = myDataReader("Expr3").ToString()
Session("VAL_email") = myDataReader("Expr4").ToString()
Session("Project_Name") = myDataReader("Pro_Name").ToString()
End While
myDataReader.Close()
End If
End Using

This may be because column names need to be unique for the SqlDataReader to be able to index them using a string name for the column.

A couple of things:
1) You are executing the query 3 times. You can lose the ExecuteNonQuery and ExecuteScalar calls, and replace the while loop with "if myDataReader.Read() / end if" to get the data values for the first resulting record. If no records are found, no session variables are set, just as in your current code.
2) It looks more like the problem lies in your session management (ie getting values from Session) rather than your sql query, which looks OK to me.
Check:
that you have sessionState enabled in your web.config file,
that you don't reset the Session values anywhere, and
that you ask for the same Session field name when you are trying to send the email. (e.g. are you setting Session("DEV_Email") but asking for Session("DEV Email") (space instead of underscore) ?

Sorry everyone. The code works just fine. The sqlDataReader WILL accept expressions as column names.
The reason I was getting an error saying the value of the from and to parameters cannot be null. There was no data in that column for any of the records in my table.

The multi-part identifier could not be bound error won't fix

The Variable fileName contains the name of two columns to fetch value of it, which is in the type of "email,address"
The output of the fileName variable is sam#gmail.com102streetN, which is what I need
but when I try to insert that value into another column table then it throws me an error
The multi-part identifier "sam#gmail.com102streetN" could not be bound.
I don't know how to fix it
for each a in idParase
strSQL = "Select Award, Year, ("&fileName&") as dynamicColumns FROM dbo.Awards_TABLE Where awardID = "&a&""
cmdCRProc.CommandText = strSQL
Set rsCR = cmdCRProc.Execute
nameParase = rsCR("dynamicColumns")
sql2 = "Insert Into dbo.Queue (Award,Year,awardID,FileName) Values ("&rsCR(0)&", "&rsCR(1)&", "&a&", "&nameParase&") "
cmdCRProc.CommandText = sql2
Set rsCR = cmdCRProc.Execute
next
I think this isn't going wrong in the INSERT, but in the SELECT.
If I write out your SELECT it would be something this I think (I don't know the value of "a", but let's say it's 2):
Select Award, Year, (sam#gmail.com102streetN) as dynamicColumns FROM dbo.Awards_TABLE Where awardID = 2
I very much doubt you have a column named 'sam#gmail.com102streetN', right?
I don't know what your goal is, but it seems like you're building a query with a dynamic column name that doesn't exist.
What you can do is Response.Write() your SQL statements and see what the result is. Then maybe run them in your database management tool to check what's going on:
Response.write(strSQL)
And
Response.write(sql2)

Firebird insert...returning asp.net

I'm using Firebird 2.5 and asp.net (4.5).
I'm trying to find out how to use insert ... returning, or some equivalent.
Using fbDataReader, it executes the insert OK, but I can't find anyway of accessing a returned value. Using fbDataReader.GetName(0) seems to work ok, returning the variable name in the "returning" clause. This even applies to a max() in a subselect:
..... returning (select max(userid) as newid from users)
returns the text "newid".
I can't find where, or whether, the value is available.
Using a fbDataAdaptor to fill a DataTable, the insert works OK, but data table seems empty.
Does anyone know whether this is possible, and if so, how it's done?
Thanks
EDIT
Code supplied :
strConn = ....
dbConn = New FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection(strConn)
dbConn.Open()
MySQL = "insert into users (Firstname, Lastname) VALUES (#fname,#lname) returning userid"
FbC = New FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommand(MySQL, dbConn)
FbC.Parameters.Add("fname", FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbDbType.Text).Value = "Pete"
FbC.Parameters.Add("lname", FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbDbType.Text).Value = "Davis"
FbDataReader = FbC.ExecuteReader()
FbDataReader.Read()
TextBox1.Text = FbDataReader.GetName(0)
'TextBox1.Text = str(FbDataReader.GetInt64())
'TextBox1.Text = FbDataReader.GetString(0)
TextBox1.Text = FbDataReader.GetValue(0)
According to this thread INSERT ... RETURNING ... behaves like output parameters for the Firebird .NET provider. So you will need to add an output parameter.
So something like the code below should work:
FbParameter outParam = new FbParam("userid", FbDbType.Integer)
{
Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
};
FbC.Parameters.Add(outParam);
FbC.ExecuteNonQuery();
int? userId = outParam.Value as int?;

SqlCommand slow when executing a query with parameters

DbDataAdapter.Fill() is extremly slow when performing parameters!
I have a query with 2 parameters inside, and when I put those parameters hardcoded in the query it takes 1 second to execute (in a 470k table rows, returning only 20 rows).
I found many posts similars here and I tried all those solutions (set arithabort, option recompile, option optimize for, ...) with no luck.
I just perform a query (sql server 2008) and not a stored procedure, so the query with arithabort is like this:
string strSql = #"set ARITHABORT ON;
select TOP 20 ....
Also I tried to call set arithabort in the same transaction but performing that query first..
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the sensation is the ado.net is performing a very bad execution plan in ado.net when I have defined parameters on it.
As a result of this bad choice, the execution time in SSMS is 1 second (after being cached) but in asp is like 9 seconds!
The query is something like this:
strSQL #="
select *
from Table1
where Name like #name";
And then:
DbProviderFactory factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(mProvider);
DbCommand dbcmd = factory.CreateCommand();
if (CommandTimeout != null)
dbcmd.CommandTimeout = CommandTimeout.Value;
if(this.transaccion != null)
dbcmd.Transaction = this.transaccion;
dbcmd.Connection = dbc;
dbcmd.CommandText = strSQL;
if (parametros != null)
dbcmd.Parameters.AddRange(parametros);
DbDataAdapter dbda = factory.CreateDataAdapter();
dbda.SelectCommand = dbcmd;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dbda.Fill(dt);
return dt;
EDIT 14/01/2013 (18:44)
I'm not longer retrieve the connection from DbProviderFactory, insted I'm using directly SqlConnection and SqlCommand. I know DbCommand and DbProvider are a base clase... but I think there is something more in there.. because the performance drasticaly increase like 300%!
It's not the fill method, because I already tried in the code shown before..
Anyway, I don't know the reason why but using a SqlConnection is much faster! Any idea? Maybe isn't making that bad execution plan made before?
SqlCommand objCmd = new SqlCommand(strSQL, sqlConn);
if (CommandTimeout != null)
objCmd.CommandTimeout = CommandTimeout.Value;
if (this.transaccion != null)
objCmd.Transaction = SQLtransaccion;
if (parametros != null)
objCmd.Parameters.AddRange(parametros);
DbDataReader dbReader = objCmd.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(dbReader);
dbReader.Close();
return dt;
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
I found the solution!
It was parameters!
I was using a wrong type in the the List!
Parametross.Add(bd.MakeParameter("#val", "%" + txtFind.Text + "%",
DbType.String));
DbType.String vs. DbType.AnsiString
Although both DbType.String and DbType.AnsiString deal with character data, these datatypes are processed differently, and using the wrong data type can have a negative effect on the application’s performance. DbType.String identifies the parameter as a 2-byte Unicode value and is sent to the server as such.DbType.AnsiString causes the parameter to be sent as a multibyte character string. To avoid excessive string conversions, use:
DbType.AnsiString for char or varchar columns and parameters.
DbType.String for unichar and univarchar columns and parameters.
Source:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc20066.0115/html/adonet/adonet49.htm
In my query there is a:
....
where Table.Col1 like #val
But the column type was varchar and I should use DbType.AnsiString, instead of DbType.String
Parametross.Add(bd.MakeParameter("#val", "%" + txtFind.Text + "%",
DbType.AnsiString));
In my huge table I was making a lot of unnecesary casts and this is the reason why the performance drastically fall down!
Hope this will help someone,

VBScript - Database - Recordset - How to pass DateDiff value in the database

I'm using DateDiff() function of ASP to find the date difference between two dates.
The Function works fine and displays the exact date difference between two dates but when it comes to insert this value in the database it takes 9 as the value irrespect of any date difference.
Suppose difference between two dates is more than 15 or 20 days, in the database it takes "9".
I have used INT as the DATA TYPE for the column where it displaying the date difference.
Is DATA TYPE creating an issue here?
I even tried using session variable to store the value but no luck - here's my code below:
if request.Form("sub") <> "" then
sql = "Select * from emp_leave_details"
rs.open sql , con, 1, 2
dim diff
dim todate
dim fromdate
fromdate= rs("leave_from")
todate= rs("leave_to")
session("date_diff")=datediff("d",fromdate,todate)
rs.addnew
rs("emp_name") = request.Form("name")
rs("emp_no") = request.Form("number")
rs("address") = request.Form("address")
rs("contact_no") = request.Form("contact")
rs("mobile_no") = request.Form("mobile")
rs("contact_onleave") = request.Form("contact_details")
rs("leave_type") = request.Form("rad")
rs("other_leave_details") = request.Form("PS")
rs("leave_from") = request.Form("from")
rs("leave_to") = request.Form("to")
rs("applied_by") = request.Form("apply")
rs("accepted_by") = request.Form("accept")
rs("approved_by") = request.Form("approve")
rs("no_of_leave_taken")= session("date_diff")
rs.update
response.Write("<script language='javascript'>{update();}</script>")
rs.close
end if
The datatype has nothing to do with this. Storing the value in the session is not the solution. You can use a regular variable.
From your code it looks like you always use the same values for fromdate and todate. This is because you do not iterate the rows in the resultset.
if not rs.bof and not rs.eof then
do while not rs.eof
'' code to execute for each row
rs.moveNext
loop
end if
In your current script rs will always return the results of the first row returned by the query.
The second problem your running into might be the Date datatype. Convert your value to a date using cDate and use this to calculate the difference.
Your problem is , you search for "Select * from emp_leave_details" which always gives all records from that table. You retrieve the values of the first record and do a diff of these, which results in always the same value, that is normal. From your question it is unclear what you really want to do. I suppose so want so select a record like
Select * from emp_leave_details where emp_name=<%=request.Form("name")%>
and based on that add a new record with a computed no_of_leave_taken.
Sorry guys my bad...
It was the database field name that I was calling instead of
fromdate= request.form("from")
todate= request.form("to")
I was calling this
fromdate= request.form("leave_from")
todate= request.form("leave_to")
Sorry again..but I really appreciate you all for providing me with all that possible solutions.
Thanks.

Returning in Oracle INSERT is not returning proper value

I have an ASP.NET web application (VB.NET) using an Oracle database. On an insert, I need to get the identity of the inserted row back. I am trying to use RETURNING, but I keep getting a value of 1 returned.
Dim strInsert As String = "INSERT INTO L.TRANSACTIONS (LOCATION_KEY, TRANS_CREATOR, TRANS_EMAIL, TRANS_PHONE) VALUES (:location_key, :trans_creator, :trans_email, :trans_phone) RETURNING TRANS_ID INTO :ukey"
Try
If oConn.State <> ConnectionState.Open Then
oConn.Open()
End If
Dim oCmnd As New OracleCommand(strInsert, oConn)
oCmnd.Parameters.Add("location_key", Session.Item("location").ToString.Trim())
oCmnd.Parameters.Add("trans_creator", Session.Item("userID").ToString.Trim())
oCmnd.Parameters.Add("trans_email", Session.Item("mail").ToString.Trim())
oCmnd.Parameters.Add("trans_phone", Session.Item("phone").ToString.Trim())
oCmnd.Parameters.Add("ukey", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Varchar2, System.Data.ParameterDirection.ReturnValue)
Dim strUkey As String = oCmnd.ExecuteNonQuery()
When I run the application, the record gets inserted and the TRANS_ID is incrementing but the returned value is always "1".
You're assigning the result of ExecuteNonQuery to the variable, rather than getting the value assigned to the parameter you've created. I believe you want to change the last line to something like this (untested):
oCmnd.ExecuteNonQuery
Dim strUkey As String = oCmnd.Parameters.GetParameter("ukey").Value
That's because the ExecuteNonQuery will return the number of rows affected:
For UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements, the return value is the
number of rows affected by the command. For CREATE TABLE and DROP
TABLE statements, the return value is 0. For all other types of
statements, the return value is -1.
You can see that exist another question that covers the practices for doing it:
