So my problem is that is says that there is my problem in my update statement, but I believe that my statement is right, if I am wrong please correct me
connection.Open();
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
command.Connection = connection;
string query = "update Admin set Password='" + Npassword.Text + "' WHERE Pk='" + txt2.Text + "'";
command.CommandText = query;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("Password Changed");
connection.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error, fill the fields required" + ex);
connection.Close();
}
Ignoring for a moment the good advice in the comments, Password is a reserved word in Access SQL, thus must be bracketed:
string query = "update Admin set [Password]='" + Npassword.Text + "' WHERE Pk='" + txt2.Text + "'";
Also, if Pk is numeric, no quotes:
string query = "update Admin set [Password]='" + Npassword.Text + "' WHERE Pk=" + txt2.Text + "";
There is a textbox called tbTodo, which gets information from the database:
SELECT `todo` FROM `user` WHERE `username` LIKE '" + _naam + "'";
which works. The problem now is, i have no idea how to update the todo list in the database: how to send the textbox value and overwrite the one from the database. Code i have so far (which could be totally wrong):
db_connection();
MySqlCommand cmdRead = new MySqlCommand();
cmdRead.CommandText = "SELECT `todo` FROM `user` WHERE `username` LIKE '" + _naam + "'";
cmdRead.Connection = connect;
MySqlDataReader tdOphalen = cmdRead.ExecuteReader();
if (tdOphalen.Read())
{
tbTodo.Text = tdOphalen.GetString(0);
connect.Close();
return true;
}
else
{
connect.Close();
return false;
}
}
syntax of UPDATE command is
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value1,column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value;
In your case it would be something like
"UPDATE `user` set `todo` = '" + tbTodo.Text + "' FROM `user` WHERE `username` LIKE '" + _naam + "'";
It should be good for a first try and learn how update values on a database.
Next steps is learn how to use prepared statement ;)
This probably a simple solution, but I've got a deadline to catch and I don't know the exact problem here.
So here's the deal, I'm trying to update my table using this piece of code:
private void btn_opslaan_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string opleidingsid = "Select OpleidingsID From opleidingen Where Opleidingsnaam = '" + cb_opleiding.Text + "'";
MySqlCommand cmdid = new MySqlCommand(opleidingsid, dbconnect.connection);
dbconnect.OpenConnection();
MySqlDataReader reader = cmdid.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
int oplid = (int)reader.GetValue(0);
cmdid.Dispose();
reader.Close();
sql = "UPDATE leerlingen SET Naam = '_naam', Adres = '_adres', Woonplaats = '_woonplaats', Postcode = '_postcode', Email = '_email', Telefoonnummer = '_telefoonnummer', Klas = '_klas', Ovnummer = '_ovnummer', OpleidingsID = '_opleidingsid', Startdatum = '_startdatum', Einddatum = '_einddatum' WHERE LeerlingID = '_leerlingid'";
// sql = "UPDATE leerlingen set Naam = '" + txt_naam.Text + "', Adres = '" + txt_adres.Text + "', Woonplaats = '" + txt_woonplaats.Text + "', Postcode = '" + txt_postcode.Text + "', Email = '" + txt_email.Text + "', Telefoonnummer = '" + txt_telefoonnumer.Text + "', Klas = '" + txt_klas.Text + "', Ovnummer = '" + txt_ovnummer.Text + "', OpleidingsID = '" + oplID + "', Startdatum = '"+mc_startdatum.SelectionStart.Date.ToString()+"', Einddatum = '"+ mc_einddatum.SelectionStart.Date.ToString() +"' WHERE LeerlingID = '" + Int32.Parse(lbl_leerlingid.Text) + "'";
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, dbconnect.connection);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_naam", txt_naam.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_adres", txt_adres.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_woonplaats", txt_woonplaats.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_postcode", txt_postcode.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_email", txt_email.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_telefoonnummer", txt_telefoonnumer.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_klas", txt_klas.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_ovnummer", txt_ovnummer.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_opleidingsid", oplid);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_startdatum", mc_startdatum.SelectionStart.Date.ToString());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_einddatum", mc_einddatum.SelectionStart.Date.ToString());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("_leerlingid", int.Parse(lbl_leerlingid.Text));
try
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("opslaan gelukt");
}
catch (Exception error)
{
MessageBox.Show(error.ToString());
throw;
}
dbconnect.CloseConnection();
this.Close();
}
I've already tried without the single quotes, it would give me the error that colomn '_leerlingid' does not exist, but that is the parameter...
Now, I dont get any errors, but it wouldn't update my database.
Any help please
P.S. Ignore the sql injection please, before this , i didn't knew better before I found out about parameters.
Try replacing your parameters with the # symbol and remove the single quotes, like this:
SQL = "UPDATE leerlingen SET Naam = #naam, Adres = #adres";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#naam", txt_naam.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#adres", txt_adres.Text);
I think what you did wrong is you mustn't initialize your MySqlCommand like that. It must be like this..
MySqlCommand cmd;
cmd = dbconnect.createCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE tableName SET firstname=#firstname, lastname=#lastname where id=#id";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", idTxt.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#firstname", fName.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#lastname", lName.Text);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
when I creating a new data in c#, I make it like this ..
//values
String a = "COL1ROW1", b = "COL1ROW2";
//this is the code for mysql
String query = "Insert Into tableName(Column1, Column2)values('" + a + "','" + b + "')";
//conn is your mysqlconnection
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, conn);
//then execute it
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
I am using these lines of code to check if the record exists or not.
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ([user] = '" + txtBox_UserName.Text + "') ", conn);
int UserExist = (int)check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar();
But I am getting an error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I want to do:
if (UserExist > 0)
// Update record
else
// Insert record
ExecuteScalar returns the first column of the first row. Other columns or rows are ignored. It looks like your first column of the first row is null, and that's why you get NullReferenceException when you try to use the ExecuteScalar method.
From MSDN;
Return Value
The first column of the first row in the result set, or a null
reference if the result set is empty.
You might need to use COUNT in your statement instead which returns the number of rows affected...
Using parameterized queries is always a good practise. It prevents SQL Injection attacks.
And Table is a reserved keyword in T-SQL. You should use it with square brackets, like [Table] also.
As a final suggestion, use the using statement for dispose your SqlConnection and SqlCommand:
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Table] WHERE ([user] = #user)" , conn);
check_User_Name.Parameters.AddWithValue("#user", txtBox_UserName.Text);
int UserExist = (int)check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar();
if(UserExist > 0)
{
//Username exist
}
else
{
//Username doesn't exist.
}
The ExecuteScalar method should be used when you are really sure your query returns only one value like below:
SELECT ID FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'SOMENAME'
If you want the whole row then the below code should more appropriate.
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ([user] = #user)" , conn);
check_User_Name.Parameters.AddWithValue("#user", txtBox_UserName.Text);
SqlDataReader reader = check_User_Name.ExecuteReader();
if(reader.HasRows)
{
//User Exists
}
else
{
//User NOT Exists
}
sqlConnection.Open();
using (var sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table WHERE ([user] = '" + txtBox_UserName.Text + "'", sqlConnection))
{
SqlDataReader reader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
if (reader.HasRows)
{
lblMessage.Text ="Record Already Exists.";
}
else
{
lblMessage.Text ="Record Not Exists.";
}
reader.Close();
reader.Dispose();
}
sqlConnection.Close();
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("select * from table where user = '" + user.Text + "'", con);
MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds1 = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds1);
int i = ds1.Tables[0].Rows.Count;
if (i > 0) {
// Exist
}
else {
// Add
}
I would use the "count" for having always an integer as a result
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT count([user]) FROM Table WHERE ([user] = '" + txtBox_UserName.Text + "') " , conn);
int UserExist = (int)check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar();
if (UserExist == 1) //anything different from 1 should be wrong
{
//Username Exist
}
try this
public static bool CheckUserData(string phone, string config)
{
string sql = #"SELECT * FROM AspNetUsers WHERE PhoneNumber = #PhoneNumber";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(config)
)
{
conn.Open();
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#PhoneNumber", phone);
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
if (reader.HasRows)
{
return true; // data exist
}
else
{
return false; //data not exist
}
}
}
}
Use try catch:
try
{
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ([user] = '" + txtBox_UserName.Text + "') ", conn);
int UserExist = (int)check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar();
// Update query
}
catch
{
// Insert query
}
You can write as follows:
SqlCommand check_User_Name = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ([user] = '" + txtBox_UserName.Text + "') ", conn);
if (check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar()!=null)
{
int UserExist = (int)check_User_Name.ExecuteScalar();
if (UserExist > 0)
{
//Username Exist
}
}
I was asking myself the same question, and I found no clear answers, so I created a simple test.
I tried to add 100 rows with duplicate primary keys and measured the time needed to process it. I am using SQL Server 2014 Developer and Entity Framework 6.1.3 with a custom repository.
Dim newE As New Employee With {.Name = "e"}
For index = 1 To 100
Dim e = employees.Select(Function(item) item.Name = "e").FirstOrDefault()
If e Is Nothing Then
employees.Insert(newE)
End If
Next
2.1 seconds
Dim newE As New Employee With {.Name = "e"}
For index = 1 To 100
Try
employees.Insert(newE)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Next
3.1 seconds

dt.Clear();
MetroFramework.MetroMessageBox.Show(this, "something");

Use the method Int.Parse() instead. It will work.
I had a requirement to register user. In that case I need to check whether that username is already present in the database or not. I have tried the below in C# windows form application(EntityFramework) and it worked.
var result = incomeExpenseManagementDB.Users.FirstOrDefault(x => x.userName == registerUserView.uNameText);
if (result == null) {
register.registerUser(registerUserView.fnameText, registerUserView.lnameText, registerUserView.eMailText, registerUserView.mobileText, registerUserView.bDateText, registerUserView.uNameText, registerUserView.pWordText);
} else {
MessageBox.Show("User Alreay Exist. Try with Different Username");
}
this problem is a bit of a difficult one to explain but here it goes. I have a function which adds a record to a MySQL Database online from a local SQLiteDatabase. A function is first called to retrieve the local data and each line is sent to the upload function which adds the record to the online MySQL Database. When these functions are called from a another function A it works fine but when called from a different function. Function B duplicate records are entered into the database.
During debugging to try and resolve the problem I find that when it is duplicating records it is going to cmd.executeNonQuery() then going to the next couple of line but then for no reason will go back up to cmd.executeNonQuery() therefore duplicating the record. The code is below
private void uploadDatabase(string company, string oldCompany, string companyURL, string loginUsername, string oldUsername, string password, string type, string perform, string direction)
{
Boolean recordFound = false;
recordFound = checkRecordNotExist(company, loginUsername);
MySQLDBWork dbase = new MySQLDBWork();
try
{
dbase.openConnection();
if (perform == "insert" && !recordFound)
{
string query = "INSERT INTO `" + username + "` (pas_company, pas_companyURL, pas_username, pas_password, pas_type) "
+ "VALUES ('" + company + "', '" + companyURL + "', '" + loginUsername + "', '" + password + "', '" + type + "')";
Console.WriteLine("Query: " + query);
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, dbase.conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
recordFound = true;
query = "";
company = "";
loginUsername = "";
cmd.Dispose();
}
if (perform == "delete")
{
string query = "DELETE FROM `" + username + "` WHERE pas_company='" + company + "' AND pas_username='" + loginUsername + "'";
dbase.performQuery(query);
}
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Adding Online Error: " + ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("General Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
finally
{
dbase.closeConnection();
//dbase.conn.Dispose();
company = null;
loginUsername = null;
}
}
The problem is within the if statement perform == "insert" && !recordFound.
I'm not sure if the code above will help to solve the problem but this is the function that is going wrong when called from function b but works fine from function A. Thanks for any help and suggestions you can offer.
then going to the next couple of line
but then for no reason will go back up
to cmd.executeNonQuery()
That sounds like a simple multithreading problem. The function is accessed again from a different thread. So what's happening is that it goes through your check exists in both threads before it is inserted in either, and then it is inserted in both.
So, create a lock, and lock the code... something like this:
private System.Object uploadLock = new System.Object();
private void uploadDatabase(string company, string oldCompany, string companyURL, string loginUsername, string oldUsername, string password, string type, string perform, string direction)
{
lock(uploadLock ) {
Boolean recordFound = false;
recordFound = checkRecordNotExist(company, loginUsername);
MySQLDBWork dbase = new MySQLDBWork();
try
{
dbase.openConnection();
if (perform == "insert" && !recordFound)
{
string query = "INSERT INTO `" + username + "` (pas_company, pas_companyURL, pas_username, pas_password, pas_type) "
+ "VALUES ('" + company + "', '" + companyURL + "', '" + loginUsername + "', '" + password + "', '" + type + "')";
Console.WriteLine("Query: " + query);
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, dbase.conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
recordFound = true;
query = "";
company = "";
loginUsername = "";
cmd.Dispose();
}
if (perform == "delete")
{
string query = "DELETE FROM `" + username + "` WHERE pas_company='" + company + "' AND pas_username='" + loginUsername + "'";
dbase.performQuery(query);
}
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Adding Online Error: " + ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("General Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
finally
{
dbase.closeConnection();
//dbase.conn.Dispose();
company = null;
loginUsername = null;
}
}
}
The lock will allow access to the code to only on thread at a time. So no more duplications.
My advice to you:
Always use transactions and you won't be able make duplications. You also may make LoginName column unique and properly handle db error.
DO NOT concatenate string to build query, please. Use command parameters - simplest way escape SQL injection. Currently you have at least 4 vulnerable parameter. Awesome ;)
I would suggest putting a breakpoint on cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); and inspecting the call stack each time it is hit, paying special attention to the second/duplicate hit. Also pay attention to which thread the breakpoint is being hit on. Doing these things should point you to the problem.
