How To Create A Database Schema In SQL Server

-
Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207005.aspx In recent versions of sql server specifically 2005 and 2008, the database called Adventure works seems to be a good example with lots of tables to play with. When I tried to open the database, the tables have prefix or have namespace before it. Example: HumanResources.EmployeeAddress In the previous example called northwind and pubs,table names were just one word. So, to create a schema, here's how to do it: create schema < schema_name > go alter schema < schema_name > transfer <dbo.yourtable> go -- show table select * from schema_name .tablename

Ambigous Column Name In SQL Server TSQL Query

-
If you encounter this error in your TSQL query embedded in C#, you might want to check the table it is being joined. It might be that some field in the other table has the same fieldname. Example Orders - status varchar(90) OrdersSubForm - status varchar(30) Just make sure, you create a prefix of the table name plus the dot and append it in your field. Just like the example below, for the status field. Select Orders.status, OrderNum from Orders right outer join OrderSubForm on OrderSubForm.ID = Orders.ID where (your condition here)

JavaScript Object Oriented Programming Using Prototype

-
Hello, In JavaScript, each Object can inherit properties from another object, called it's prototype . When evaluating an expression to retrieve a property, JavaScript first looks to see if the property is defined directly in the object. If it is not, it then looks at the object's prototype to see if the property is defined there. This continues up the prototype chain until reaching the root prototype. Each object is associated with a prototype which comes from the constructor function from which it is created. (Source: http://mckoss.com/jscript/object.htm ) Here's an example i created: <html> <head> <script type= "text/javascript" language= "javascript" > function NumberManip() { var result = 0; } NumberManip.prototype.add = function (num1, num2) { this .result = num1 + num2; } NumberManip.prototype.subtract = function (num1, num2) { this .result = num1 - num2; }

Inner Joins In SQL Server TSQL

-
Source: TSQL Programming Reference: An inner join applies two logical query processing phases—it applies a Cartesian product between the two input tables like a cross join, and then it filters rows based on a predicate that you specify. Like cross joins, inner joins have two standard syntaxes: ANSI SQL-92 and ANSI SQL-89. Using the ANSI SQL-92 syntax, you specify the INNER JOIN keywords between the table names. The INNER keyword is optional because an inner join is the default, so you can specify the JOIN keyword alone. You specify the predicate that is used to filter rows in a designated clause called ON. This predicate is also known as the join condition. Here are two basic implementations of inner join scripts i created, one with the inner keyword, and the other w/o the inner keyword. select distinct l.LoanNum, ( c .CusLastName + ', ' + c .CusFirstName + ' ' + c .CusMiddleInit) as Name, Status, DateGranted, AmountGranted from

ASP.NET Web Forms GridView RowUpdating Event Not Getting New Values From Controls

-
I have a code in rowupdating event which get's values from textbox controls during edit mode. However, when update command button is clicked, the values from the controls were cleared or null. So, I checked the page load event, and found out that I have a code which rebinds the grid when it is not post back since the update link button will trigger postback. Here is the page load code: if (! string .IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString[ "LoanNum" ])) { ShowToControls(Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString[ "LoanNum" ])); BindGridDetails(Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString[ "LoanNum" ])); } So, the modified pageload code should add a IsPostback condition so that the binding of gridview will not be executed. Here's the modified script: if (! string .IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString[ "LoanNum" ]) && !Page.IsPostBack) { ShowToControls(Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString[ "LoanNum" ])); BindGridDe
