Re: Access SQL Question
Micha,
Unfortunately I am using Access, so stored procedures are not an
option, however thanks for sending me an excellent code which I would
keepfor future reference.

Access SQL Question
I have a table that I transferred from Access to SQL and had a field setup as auto number. Now I am getting an error message when I try to submit new info to the table in SQL. Here's the error: ODBC Error Code = 23000 (Integrity constraint violation) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'id', table 'mydatabase.user.tblMemo'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFINSERT), occupying document position (6:1) to (11:28). Here's the CFInsert code: cfinsert dbname=mydbname username=myusername password=mypassword datasource=mydsn tablename=tblMemo formfields=subject, memo Any help appreciated.

Re: Access SQL Question
SQL Server manages auto-incremented fields differently than Access does.

Yes You will need to go into SQL enterprise manager and make the col that was auto number in access to Identityyou set the Identity seed (number to start) and Identity increment to how you want it to increment.

Access SQL Question :(
Evening,
I am trying to work out an update statement for Access. It's on CF 4.5. I
am generating the SQL in a cfscript, it will be below. The final script
looks like this:
update printers set MAKE = 'new make', MODEL = 'new model', PRODUCTTYPE =
'new product', PRINTERGROUP = 'new grogugp', CATEGORY = 'new cgategory',
CSPEED = 0, ONSALEPRICE = '$0.00', MSRP = '$0.00', SOL2 = 1, SOL4 = 1, SOL6
= 1, SOL7 = 1, SOL8 = 1, sol1 = 0, sol3 = 0, sol5 = 0 where printerID = 120
It runs fine in Access, but throws this through CF:
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in
query expression '''new make'''.
Any Ideas? BTW, this is a dynamic script I am writing, the form has a great
many fields, and would just be a major pain to write conditionals for each
and every one.

can you show us what the query looks like in the debug output? Wait, does CF
4.5 output that i forget. :-) If so, send that to the list. That would
let us see what the dynamic query looked like when it failed i think,
and we can go from there.

try to use [ ] in column names, like [MAKE], you can also partially delete
the sql statement one by one to find the bad row.

RE: Access SQL Question :(
Here's what it's producing now:
update printers set [MAKE] = 'new make', [MODEL] = 'new model',
[PRODUCTTYPE] = 'new product', [PRINTERGROUP] = 'new grogugp', [CATEGORY] =
'new cgategory', [CSPEED] = 0, [ONSALEPRICE] = '$0.00', [MSRP] = '$0.00',

[sol5] = 0, [sol7] = 0 where printerID = 120
Same errror:
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in
query expression '''new make'''
But it runs fine in SQL view in access.

Evening,

RE: Access SQL Question :(
Tim,
AS has been mentioned, if you are creating a string and passing it to the
cfquery tag, make sure and use preserveSinglequotes( ) around it:
cfquery name=update datasource=blah
#preservesinglequotes(myQueryString)#
/cfquery
If you do not, the CF escapes the single quotes FOR you and you end up
with:
update printers set MAKE = '' new make'',
So the driver interprets that as Make = ''... then it trys to do something
with the word new. Since there is no comma, it is expecting a WHERE or
some other key word - hence the violation. Why don't you send the full
detaisl of the error to the list - where the sytax is visible in the
details. That might be a better clue.

This one works fine in sql server, but you need to test it with ms access.

Subject: Access SQL question
Hi all:
I have an Access 2000 database with an email field in it.
I would like to have an SQL query that gives me a count of the ISPs
in the email field.
For example:
take the following records:
1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I would like a query to give me:
1. aol.com 2
2. hotmail.com 3
I have tried many ways, but can't get it to work.
any suggestions?
thanks
Sandy

RE: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
An inner join is reasonably similar to using pk=fk in a where clause. That statement deserves a little clarification. Both of these queries use inner joins: SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1, t2 WHERE t1.pk = t2.fk SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.pk = t2.fk The difference is that the second query uses the ANSI syntax for its inner join, while the first doesn't. Specific database engines may conceivably perform differently when analyzing each query, or may only support one syntax or the other, but they're still both inner joins.

Getting Access to do those sorts of things is always hideously difficult. If you really need to stick with a single query, you can use a view -- iirc Access calls them Queries. The view would include all the data from the issues table, with the owner column modified as such SELECT *, left(owner + ',', inStr(owner,',')-1) as ownername FROM issues then in your cf query you would be able to use a normal join on that added column to the users.name column.

RE: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
I would have to disagree with you. Access is not hideously difficult to work with. I actually think it's easier because the functions are right from visual basic - meaning intuitive for the most part. I think the reason that this query has been hard to work with because we're not thinking this problem all the way through - the instr function is returning a value in the negative range when it reaches a non-comma-containing field, and then the left function can't run with a negative length to get. I think we would have had the same problem with SQL Server or MySQL - user error.

Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
Matthew and Isaac have provided you with two excellent workarounds. I just have one thing to add. The where pk=fk syntax doesn't produce an inner join in Access. Instead use from issues i inner join users u on i.owner = u.name.

Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
In Access, if you use FROM issues, owners WHERE issues.owner = users.name you're doing a cartesian join, which produces every possible combination of the two tables. An inner join, on the other hand, will return only the rows that match your join condition. In SQL Server, however, the WHERE issues.owner = users.name syntax *does* produce an inner join. Does that help?

Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
I'm not too sure what you're getting at...maybe I wasn't clear. My point was that a list of values should not be stored in a DB field. This is a basic criterion of a normalized database.

Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
Isacc's solution gives me what I need - thanks for all the input. I won't get into the debate about Access vs. SQL. However, Access does have an advantage over SQL in small, light use, cases ($$$), but a well designed DB is much easier to deal with, no matter what system it is in. Thanks -- Jeff -- Original Message -- From: S. Isaac Dealey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 12:06:30 -0500 Getting Access to do those sorts of things is always hideously difficult. If you really need to stick with a single query, you can use a view -- iirc Access calls them Queries. The view would include all the data from the issues table, with the owner column modified as such SELECT *, left(owner + ',', inStr(owner,',')-1) as ownername FROM issues then in your cf query you would be able to use a normal join on that added column to the users.name column.

I have a hand-me-down Access database which I am trying to get some data out of. I have a table called issues with a field called owner. The owner field may contain a single name, or it may contain a comma-separated list of names. I have a table called users with a field called name. I am needing to join the two tables up based on the first or only name in the issues.owner field matched to the users.name field. Whenever I try using inStr in the WHERE clause, access throws an invalid procedure error. Anybody got any suggestions? This does not seem to work with Access and even if it did, it would only work for records with a list of users in the issues table, not just a single entry SELECT * FROM issues, users WHERE left(issues.owner, inStr(issues.owner, ',')-1) = users.name Thanks -- Jeff ~~ ~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index. cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

RE: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
No, I agree! Just saying that it's always better to fix the underlying problem (i.e. the db design) than coding around it. The metaphor Fix broken windows refer to the idea, that if you leave even small bits of bad code in your code base, it spreads to other code. Better to bite the bullet and fix the DB design *apparently this comes from a study, that showed, if a broken window in housing block is left unrepaired, that occupants start to disrespect the property and that broken window leads to further problems* WG -Original Message- From: Dina Hess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 January 2003 18:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2 I'm not too sure what you're getting at...maybe I wasn't clear.

Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
While the recordsets produced by both of these queries are the same, the second query (with the ANSI join) performs *much* better. My simple test returned a recordset of only two records, yet the time on the first query was 135ms compared to only 15ms on the second query. cfquery name=getUsers datasource=test SELECT u.name FROM issues i, users u WHERE u.name = left(i.owner,len(u.name)) /cfquery cfdump var=#getUsers#br cfquery name=getOwners datasource=test SELECT u.name FROM issues i inner join users u on left(i.owner,len(u.name))= u.name /cfquery cfdump var=#getOwners# I'm with you on this, Dave.

RE: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2
I'm know any anything about inner/outer joins - how is using an inner join different from using pk=fk, and why would you want to use it in this case? An inner join is reasonably similar to using pk=fk in a where clause. I'm not sure what the internal differences are, re: performance, etc. An outer join produces a query wherein data from table 1 is required and data from table 2 is optional, i.e. find all issues associated with user x wherein you want to retreive data from the users table and zero or more associated records from the issues table. With an inner join or a typical pk=fk where clause, no data is returned from the users table if there are no issues associated with the user. In this particular case he probably didn't want an outer join, although it's possible an inner join might improve performance over the where clause, but again that's just conjecture. hth s. isaac dealey954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 Thanks, Matthew Small IT Supervisor Showstopper National Dance Competitions 3660 Old Kings Hwy Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 843-357-1847 http://www.showstopperonline.com -Original Message- From: Dina Hess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 12:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: WOT: Access SQL Question - Round 2 Matthew and Isaac have provided you with two excellent workarounds.

Access/sql question
I need to make a list from one table information and make a new table containing the list. I am using an access2000 frontend with a sql200 backend. For example Table one SalesID 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SalesmanID 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 Total Sales 150 160 120 200 9 500 6 I need the new table to be: NewID 1 2 SalesmanID 3 4 Total Sales 150, 160, 120, 200 9,500, 6 So basically I want to flatten out the data. Any ideas?
