I am getting the error shown here when trying to output things:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') FROM colours.prompt_reply' at line 1
Please help
MySqlCommand cmdDatabase = new MySqlCommand("select (user_Id, project, project_feedback, when) FROM colours.prompt_reply ;",conDataBase);
i think you have an error in your command
MySqlCommand cmdDatabase = new MySqlCommand("select user_Id, project, project_feedback, when FROM your_table_name",conDataBase);
is the 'when' part of your table?
i haven't really used MySql in C# but i had used Sql Sever before i think it would work
I think your query is not formatted properly,
Is "when" is a column name of your table ? If yes then
use below as
MySqlCommand cmdDatabase = new MySqlCommand("select user_Id, project, project_feedback, `when` FROM colours.prompt_reply ;",conDataBase);
As when is a keyword in MySql so if you are using that as column name then use backticks.

Here is my code for alter table in ms access,it throws error Syntax error in table-level validation expression.This code works fine for without adding 'DEFAULT 0'. I am using MS ACCESS 2007.Tried with this but I cant set using tools.
Your code works for me if I use the following connect string:
static public OleDbConnection Conncect_Mdb()
{
const string oledb = #"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=scratch.accdb";
var conn = new OleDbConnection(oledb);
conn.Open();
return conn;
}
There are older drivers, specially the ones that run over ODBC that require you to indicate which sql support you need in the driver. An example of such seting in an Odbc connectionstring is ExtendedAnsiSQL=1.
If your setup doesn't have the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010, which also support Access 2007, you can download and install the redistributable from the Microsoft Download.
This answer does not pertain to the specific question, but it does answer EXACTLY for the error message posted in the TITLE....
Syntax error in table-level validation expression in MS ACCESS
I received this exact error and the fix was to remove a semi colon from the end of the query statement.
I am using the OP's query to present the solution...
oleDbCmd.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE doc_comp ADD COLUMN versioncode NUMBER DEFAULT 0**;**";
Should be,
oleDbCmd.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE doc_comp ADD COLUMN versioncode NUMBER DEFAULT 0";
Remove the semi colon surrounded by asterisks from the query statement. This resolved this EXACT error for me.
after connecting to database in C#
string MyConString2 = "SERVER=localhost;" + "user id=mytest;" + "DATABASE=clusters;" + "PASSWORD=mypass;";
I have an algorithm which I need to after each run of algorithm that will fill the database, drop the database "clusters" of mysql manually and again connect to the empty database and run it again,gaining new data in tables
I want to make it automatically how can I drop or empty my database if exists in C# and then run my algorithm?
Here is example code that works and I think this is what you are talking about, if not, feel free to correct me.
using (var connection = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;user=root;password="))
{
connection.Open();
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "drop schema if exists clusters";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "create schema clusters";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
Prepare sql query for clearing your DB and test it in f.e. MySQL workbench. Following this, just execute it as you would execute regular query against DB in C#. One way is to clear all the tables in your database by using TRUNCATE statement and the second way is to DROP DATABASE and recreate it.
I am trying to specify the default schema/instance as part of a connection string (or specific command) so it does not need to be part of the query.
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection("Driver={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER}; Database=myDB; Hostname=myHostName; Port=myPort; Protocol=TCPIP; Uid=myID; Pwd=myPW;");
OdbcCommand comm = new OdbcCommand("select count(*) from customers", conn);
conn.Open();
var value = comm.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();
Unfortunately this fails with the error:
ERROR [42S02] [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2] SQL0204N myID.customers is an undefined name. SQLSTATE=42704.
Notice it's using myID where the Schema/Instance should be. If I specify the schema/instance explicity:
OdbcCommand comm = new OdbcCommand("select count(*) from mySCHEMA.customers", conn);
it works as expected. I'd like to specify mySCHEMA as part of the Connection String, similar to "Initial Catalog" when using MS SQL Server.
After a bunch of experimentation and googling, I can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?
Wow, this one was obvious. I just need CurrentSchema=mySCHEMA in the connection string.
For some reason I didn't connect that dot right away after working through http://www.connectionstrings.com/ibm-db2 (tried all sorts of variations like Schema, Default Schema, etc). Hopefully this helps someone in the future...
Hello I'm trying to run a simple sql command on a DB from MS VS C# 2010 and I have encountered a error I have never seen before the relevant code is:
SqlConnection comCon = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=C:\\Users\\George\\Desktop\\programming\\C#workspace\\Projects\\Examen\\Examen\\Companie.mdf;Initial Catalog=Proiect;Integrated Security=True");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE Proiect SET Buget = Buget + 500 WHERE (Buget > 0)";
cmd.Connection = comCon;
comCon.Open();
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteNonQuery().ToString());
comCon.Close();
And the error is Keyword not supported: 'data source'
The main problem is that I'm not used to creating these sqlconnections by hand so please tell me if I'm missing something.
You are using the wrong structure. To attach a database file, you need to use the following structure:
SqlConnection sqlConnection =
"Server=DatabaseServerName;AttachDbFilename=d:\Database\Database.mdf;
Database=DatabaseName; Trusted_Connection=Yes";
You need to have the right permissions on both the target file and database server to attach the databse and establish the connection.
Server=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydbfile.mdf;Database=dbname; Trusted_Connection=Yes;
If it's not an ASP.NET application don't use the DataDirectory syntax and just use the full c:... path.
I populate a listview from a Dataset that accesses sqlserver in visual studio 2008 express edition. I've been trying to update the listview and database simultaneously.
SettingTxt.Text references a textbox
With the following code, I've been able to update the list view with the information entered into the textbox, but the same update is not performed in the database. If anyone can help me resolve this, I would greatly appreciate it. I know there are alot of forums online regarding this exact problem, but I can't seem to get it working.
thisConnection = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source=AugMedDB.sdf;Password=");
thisConnection.Open();
SqlCeCommand cmd = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE Patient SET Setting = \'" + SettingTxt.Text + "\' WHERE (PtID=0) AND (EquipID=1) AND (Control='Lever')" ;
SqlCeDataAdapter adp = new SqlCeDataAdapter();
adp.UpdateCommand = cmd;
dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0][2] = SettingTxt.Text;
adp.Update(dataSet);
Thanks in advance.
Moved from an answer:
What I currently have is:
SqlCeCommand cmd = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT column FROM table WHERE id=0";
SqlCeDataAdapter adp = new SqlCeDataAdapter(cmd);
adp.SelectCommand = cmd;
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds = dataS.getDataSet();
adp.Fill(ds, "Patient");
SqlCeCommand comm = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
comm.CommandText = "UPDATE table SET Setting = 'value' WHERE (PtID=0)";
adp.UpdateCommand = comm;
adp.Update(ds, "Patient");
And I'm not understanding all the tutorials I find. Thanks in advance.
Update:
Yet even something as simple as the following doesn't update the database:
SqlCeConnection thisConn = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source=AugMedDB.sdf;Password=");
String query = "UPDATE Patient SET Setting = 'TopyTruck' WHERE (PtID=0) AND (EquipID=1) AND (Control='Lever')";
thisConn.Open();
SqlCeCommand commd = new SqlCeCommand(query, thisConn);
commd.ExecuteNonQuery();
thisConn.Close();
Your UPDATE statement is not suitable for an Adapter.Update(), for that it needs parameters and must be aligned with the SELECT statement.
You could try to execute that Command directly (w/o the adapter) or create a better update statement (using the dataset designer ).
Update
After filling the dataset,
generate the other SQL statements with a CommandBuilder (I think it exists for SqlCe)
or use your use your own Update command without the adapter. Just call comm.ExecuteNonQuery()
Tip 1: It may help to create a temporary (WinForms) project and use the VS tools to "Add a Datasource". You can look in the Dataset designer how VS generates the commands etc.
Tip 2: There are other options available, like entity framework. Datasets are (becoming) an "end of life" tech.
Thank you so much for all your help. I actually found the source of the problem. I had multiple references to the database; one within my project and another copy in bin/debug. I was correctly updating the copy in bin/debug but I was looking at the copy in my project. Once I deleted all copies, other than the one in bin/debug, it all worked and made sense. Now I see the updates in the database in bin/debug/
