I have a AdvWebGrid where the 7th column is DynEdit where user will enter the value. Now I have to take the entered value and insert it into the SQL table.
For example I have 7 records in the grid, the user will enter some comments for the first three records and save. Now I want to insert/ update the first three comments in the table.
If you are able to get the info in the 7th column you could use a datable with the rows you need, the use a sqldataadapter to fill the info into the sql server, i feel this is the best way to do it.
Other way is create a stored procedure in your SQL Server then invoque it from your .net program using SqlCommand and SqlDataReader...
Here is an example:
Dim val as integer = value you want to insert
Dim comi As New SqlCommand
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim _con as sqlconnection
_con.ConnectionString = _strcon ' connection string
comi.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
comi.CommandText = sp_name ' your stored procedure is sp_name this inserts a value into the table x
comi.Connection = _con
comi.Parameters.AddWithValue("val",val)
dr = comi.ExecuteReader
dr.Close()
This should do the trick ...
Greetings !

I need pass the whole table to a stored procedure to run a update query.
This is my code:
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[UploadData] AS TABLE
(
[CODE] [varchar](4) NULL,
[SERIALNUMBER] [varchar](20) NULL,
[PRODUCTCODE] [varchar](20) NULL,
[THRESHOLD] [int] NULL
)
This is my stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_UpdateExchangeThreshold
#TableType dbo.UploadData READONLY
UPDATE [dbo].[ExchangeData_20221213]
SET t.Threshold = tbl.THRESHOLD
FROM [dbo].[ExchangeData_20221213] t
INNER JOIN #TableType AS tbl ON t.ProductCode = tbl.PRODUCTCODE
AND t.SerialNumber = tbl.SERIALNUMBER
In my VB.Net code, I have this:
Using sqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand()
sqlCommand.Connection = connection
sqlCommand.CommandText = "sp_UpdateExchangeThreshold"
sqlCommand.CommandTimeout = 180
sqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim parameterList As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("#TableType", SqlDbType.Structured)
parameterList.Value = dataTable
parameterList.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
sqlCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterList)
sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
I'm not able to update the records. Any mistake I made? Please help
Unfortunately, a .NET ADO datatable is NOT a SQL Server table type. They have NOHTING to do with each other. You can use a datatable with Oracle, MySQL, or any server based system. You can even use a access database with a data table.
So, datatable object is platform gnostic (neutral), and thus can't be passed, used as a SQL table type.
However, you don't really have to pass a table back. The REAL question is what do you want to do with this table?
Do you want to edit, or update or insert rows from that table back into the database?
If yes, then use a table adaptor (that's what they are for).
Not only will they do all the dirty work for you, but that table can have updates, deletes, edits and insert/additions.
And with ONE command you can send that WHOLE table + all edit/update/delete/adds in one shot.
Say like this:
Dim rstHotels As New DataTable
Using conn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.TEST4)
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM tblHotelsD"
Using cmdSQL As New SqlCommand(strSQL, conn)
conn.Open()
rstData.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader)
' delete first row
rstData.Rows(0).Delete() ' delete first row
rstData.Rows(2).Item("City") = "Zoo" ' edit/modify the 3rd row
Dim OneNewRow As DataRow = rstData.NewRow
OneNewRow("FirstName") = "First Name"
OneNewRow("LastName") = "last Name"
OneNewRow("HotelName") = "My Hotel Name"
OneNewRow("Active") = True
rstData.Rows.Add(OneNewRow)
' now, lets send edits/delete/inserts back to database.
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmdSQL)
Dim daU As New SqlCommandBuilder(da)
da.Update(rstData)
End Using
End Using
Now, I have the load the table and the update as per above, but they can be done separately.
Edit: Sending the datatable to SQL Server, but not all rows.
' so, lets "send" to the sql database some data
Dim rstData2 As New DataTable
rstData2.Columns.Add("HotelName", GetType(String))
rstData2.Columns.Add("City") ' FYI -- defualt is string
rstData2.Columns.Add("Active", GetType(Boolean))
' lets create 5 test rows of data
For i = 1 To 5
Dim MyNewRow As DataRow = rstData2.NewRow
MyNewRow("HotelName") = "Hotel #" & i
MyNewRow("City") = "City #" & i
MyNewRow("Active") = True ' you MUST include columnes that require deffault value
rstData2.Rows.Add(MyNewRow)
Next
' now send in one shot to database
Using conn As New SqlConnection(My.Settings.TEST4)
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT ID, HotelName, City, Active FROM tblHotelsD"
Using cmdSQL As New SqlCommand(strSQL, conn)
conn.Open()
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmdSQL)
Dim daU As New SqlCommandBuilder(da)
da.Update(rstData2)
End Using
End Using
I have tried to find answers to this to no avail, if someone has posted this question before please direct me to them.
My question is how can I assigned a id/group number to a excel sqlbulkcopy upload to a sql table. What I am trying to accomplish is to associate all rows with a common ID that are inserted from the excel upload so that I can pull that specific group of rows at a later time. Let me know if I need to explain this better, thanks for the help ahead of time.
The way we've done in our project is
Have a NULLable column(say GroupID) in the destination table
do Bulk copy
Get the ISNULL(max(GroupID),1) from the destination table and store in variable say #groupId (int)
Add 1 to the #groupId
Update all rows in the destination table, setting the value to GroupID=#groupId WHERE GroupID is NULL
Dim batchid As Integer
Dim con2 As New SqlConnection(Session("strconnection"))
Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand()
cmd2.CommandText = "SELECT max(batchid) as batchid FROM purchasingrequest"
cmd2.Connection = con2
con2.Open()
Using dr As SqlDataReader = cmd2.ExecuteReader
While dr.Read
batchid = dr("batchid")
End While
End Using
con2.Close()
con2.Dispose()
MsgBox(batchid)
Dim newbatchid As Integer = batchid + 1
I'm looking for a suggestion for the best way to accomplish the following task. I need to run an SQL query that will pull up to 200 rows. With each row, I need to take the data from that row and insert it into another table. At first I thought I would nest database connections like the code example I've listed below. However I was wondering if this was the incorrect way of doing it and what would be a better way.
Any ideas?
Dim dbconn As New SqlConnection
Dim dbconn2 As New SqlConnection
dbconn = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("databaseName").ConnectionString
dbconn2 = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("databaseName").ConnectionString
dbconn.Open()
Dim cmd As New SQLCommand
Dim cmd2 As New SQLCommand
Dim UserReader As SqlDataReader
Dim cmdStringSource As String = "SELECT approx 25 fields WHERE fldRandomField = 26"
Dim cmdStringUpdate As String
cmd = New SQLCommnd(cmdStringSource, dbconn)
UserReader = cmdExecuteReader()
If UserReader.HasRows Then
While UserReader.Read()
cmdStringUpdate = "UPDATE tblUpdate SET a whole bunch of stuff from the cmdStringSource current record"
dbconn2.Open()
cmd2=New SQLCommand(cmdStringUpdate, dbconn2)
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbconn2.close()
End While
End If
UserReader.Close()
dbconn.close()
Instead of doing this in the loop, with multiple connections and datareaders - do it entirely in the back end.
SQL Server supports Insert from select e.g.
INSERT INTO Table1 (field1, field2, field3 ...)
SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM FROM Table2
WHERE <some condition>
Same goes for UPPDATE e.g.
UPDATE Table1
SET Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1,
Table1.Field2 = Table2.Field2
Table1.Field3 = Table2.Field3
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.CommonField = Table2.CommonField
WHERE <some condition>
Just build this statement and call it once with a single connection and ExecuteNonQuery command.
I have an ASP.NET page written in VB.NET that gets the items into a GridView by using a SELECT statement with INNER JOIN and also allows you to add an item to the invoice.
INNER JOIN that gets data from items and project_items.
SELECT Items.item_id, Items.item_name, Items.item_cost, project_items.item_quantity
FROM Items
INNER JOIN project_items
ON items.item_id = project_items.item_id
WHERE project_items.project_id = #parameter
#parameter is Session("ProjectID")
(There is a foreign key project_items.item_id -> items.item_id.)
I have an trying to use an SQL statement in VB.NET to try and INSERT into two tables simultaneously. What I tried is I tried to get the item_id of the last record created and insert into another table (project_items) by using that data. However, data is only being entered into the first table.
Any idea what I can do?
This is the code:
Protected Sub btnAddItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnAddItem.Click
Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=BRIAN-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master_db;Integrated Security=True")
Dim addItemComm As String = "SELECT item_id FROM project_items WHERE project_id=#ProjectID"
Dim user_id_select As New Integer
Dim addItemSQL As New SqlCommand
conn.Open()
addItemSQL = New SqlCommand(addItemComm, conn)
addItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ProjectID", Convert.ToInt32(Session("ProjectID")))
Dim datareader As SqlDataReader = addItemSQL.ExecuteReader()
datareader.Close()
conn.Close()
Dim AddNewItemComm As String = "INSERT INTO Items (item_name, item_cost, item_code) VALUES (#ItemName, #ItemCost, #ItemCode); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()"
Dim AddNewItem2Comm As String = "INSERT INTO project_items (item_id, project_id, item_quantity) VALUES (#ItemID, #ProjectID, #ItemQuantity) "
Dim AddNewItemSQL As New SqlCommand
conn.Open()
AddNewItemSQL = New SqlCommand(AddNewItemComm, conn)
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ItemName", txtItemName.Text.Trim)
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ItemCost", Convert.ToInt32(txtItemCost.Text))
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ItemCode", txtItemCost.Text.ToString.ToUpper)
Dim ItemId As Integer
ItemId = AddNewItemSQL.ExecuteScalar()
AddNewItemSQL.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
conn.Open()
AddNewItemSQL = New SqlCommand(AddNewItem2Comm, conn)
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ItemID", ItemId)
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ProjectID", Convert.ToInt32(Session("ProjectID")))
AddNewItemSQL.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ItemQuantity", Convert.ToInt32(txtItemQuantity.Text))
AddNewItemSQL.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
End Sub
Why are you doing this in multiple statements in the first place? Why not:
INSERT dbo.Items (item_name, item_cost, item_code)
OUTPUT inserted.ItemID, #ProjectID, #ItemQuantity
INTO dbo.project_items(item_id, project_id, item_quantity)
VALUES (#ItemName, #ItemCost, #ItemCode);
Now you only have to call one ExecuteNonQuery() and your app doesn't have to care about the actually SCOPE_IDENTITY() value generated. (You can still retrieve SCOPE_IDENTITY() if you want, of course, using ExecuteScalar - but as Nenad rightly points out, pick one instead of calling both.)
Since we now know that there is an explicit foreign key here, we can still reduce your C# code to one call even if we can't use the OUTPUT clause.
DECLARE #i INT;
INSERT dbo.Items (item_name, item_cost, item_code)
SELECT #ItemName, #ItemCost, #ItemCode;
SELECT #i = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
INSERT dbo.project_items(item_id, project_id, item_quantity)
SELECT #i, #ProjectID, #ItemQuantity
SELECT #i; -- if necessary
Would be even cleaner to put this into a stored procedure.
ItemId = AddNewItemSQL.ExecuteScalar()
AddNewItemSQL.ExecuteNonQuery()
These two rows next to each other will execute the command twice. You should remove the second one - ExecuteNonQuery. This will have your data inserted twice in the Items - two same rows but with different IDs.
Since you only retrieve ItemID from the first row, that one should be inserted in project_items, but the other one that was last inserted in items will have no matching row.
Also - complete section from beginning of button click method up before Dim AddNewItemComm As String - where you open and close DataReader and do nothing with it seems completely unnecessary.
What I am missing to get data from temporary table. This is showing error like Invalid object name #emp. Please help me
I am using Asp.net.
Dim sqlcmd = New SqlCommand("select * into #emp from employees", conn)
sqlcmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
sqlcmd = New SqlCommand("select * from #emp", conn)
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader
See Above query is working fine and data is going into temporary table. but it is not selecting again through second one query.
Thanks
Try to use Global Temporary table instead of Local Temporary tabel like.. ##emp
or
You can just use a stored procedure which has all the SQL statement you want to execute and return your desired recordset.
