Environement : Oracle 11gR2 , ASP .Net, VB
Aim: need to append text string to an existing record.
Problem: When using the following
strSQL += "Update table_name SET "
strSQL += " JOB = '" & Trim(Me.txtjob.Text) & "',"
strSQL += " NAME = '" & Trim(Me.txtname.Text) & "',"
strSQL += " REMARK = REMARK || ' " & Trim(Me.txtremark.Text) & "'"
It appends the already existing data along with the new data to the new data.
Example:
Contents before SQL Execution: ABC
Contents to append: DEF
Result after execution : ABCABCDEF
expected result: ABCDEF
I tried to use a few permutations to get the right result but to no avail.
Any suggestions/resolution will be appreciated.
Okay, it seems that this was a rather straight forward solution which i ended up over complicating.
IN my case:
I was reading the record and displaying it in a text box.
What i ended up doing was :
just update the entire contents of the text box again to the record.
Thus overwriting the already existing contents along with the modified contents of the textbox.
strSQL += " DOC_LOCATION = '" & System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(Trim(Me.txtremark.Text)) & (" Last Edit: ") & temp & " " & DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss") & "'"
Since this was a rather simple application, this solution worked for me.

I'm using Microsoft Access to develop a database app. An important feature the user would need is to automatically send an email update to all relevant stakeholders.
The problem is that I'm getting
Run-time error '3075' Syntax error in query expression.
Here it is below:
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT StakeholderRegister.[StakeholderID], StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID], StakeholderRegister.[FirstName], StakeholderRegister.[LastName], StakeholderRegister.[EmailAddress] " & _
" FROM StakeholderRegister " & _
" WHERE (((StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID]=[Forms]![ChangeLog]![cboProjectID.Value])) ;")
Funny thing is that I created a query table on Access to create the relevant recordset and the turned on SQL view to copy the exact sql string that's above. That query works however it opens an Input Parameter box, whereas this code should be using the value typed into a forms text box as a matching criteria.
To use a variable as a parameter, do not include it within the quotes:
" WHERE StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID]=" & [Forms]![ChangeLog]![cboProjectID].[Value]
or just
" WHERE StakeholderRegister.ProjectID=" & Forms!ChangeLog!cboProjectID.Value
Note: You really only need the square brackets when there is something like a space in the name, which is not the best practice anyway.
I also took the liberty to remove the parentheses, as they are not needed in such a simple WHERE clause, and can cause more trouble than they are worth.
Try,
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT StakeholderRegister.[StakeholderID], StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID], StakeholderRegister.[FirstName], StakeholderRegister.[LastName], StakeholderRegister.[EmailAddress] " & _
" FROM StakeholderRegister " & _
" WHERE StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID]=" & [Forms]![ChangeLog]![cboProjectID].Value & " ;"
Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
if [ProjectID] field type is text then
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT StakeholderRegister.[StakeholderID], StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID], StakeholderRegister.[FirstName], StakeholderRegister.[LastName], StakeholderRegister.[EmailAddress] " & _
" FROM StakeholderRegister " & _
" WHERE StakeholderRegister.[ProjectID]='" & [Forms]![ChangeLog]![cboProjectID].Value & "' ;"
Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
First this is my first post so I apologize for the layout or any other errors with presentation.
I have two tables.
tempWkEndHrs: Is created when the user selects a weekending date and their name from two comboboxs. The result is 5 fields: Name1, Task, Closed Date, Initiated Date and #xx/xx/xxxx# <--the same date as chosen by the user from the combobox to create the table. This is done to limit the number of date fields returned and built into the temp table.
The purpose of this table is so the user can populate as many values under the #xx/xx/xxxx# field/column to show/see the distribution of hours taken on tasks for that week. (its also used as a check to make sure entered values sum up as expected)
I would like to save the new values entered underfield #xx/xx/xxxx# in tempWkEndHrs to the same field #xx/xx/xxxx# in tblHrs.
tblHrs: has fields... Task , #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, etc.. <--Same dates available within combobox.
I have having difficulty finding an example of updating multiple records from one table to another to fit my situation.
Below is my last attempt from several variations.
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs SET " & _
"[" & strWkEnd & "] = [" & strWkEnd & "] " & _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE [Task] = [Task]"
*Update 10-24-2017 5:37pm
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs " & _
"SET tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "& _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[Task] = tblHrs.[Task]"
Result:
UPDATE tblHrs SET tempWkEndHrs.[9/30/2017] = tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[TASK] = tblHrs.[TASK]
***Run-Time error '3075
***Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs'.
If this is clear as mud please let me know.

5.You don't need the FROM tblTemp clause in the SQLReplace String.
6.EDIT: As #Parfait pointed out, tblTemp does not exist in scope of the SQLReplace statement. You should do an INNER JOIN to fix that: <--AWESOME!!
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs INNER JOIN tempWkEndHrs ON tblHrs.TASK = tempWkEndHrs.TASK SET tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "
Works! >:P
I didn't receive any answers to this post so obviously I need to write better questions, I figured it was mud...Thanks for the ~21 Views ?lol.
All,
I am running the below SQL and I keep getting error 3061. Thank you all for the wonderful help! I've been trying to teach myself and I am 10 days in and oh my I am in for a treat!
Private Sub b_Update_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "UPDATE Main" _
& " SET t_Name = Me.txt_Name, t_Date = Me.txt_Date, t_ContactID = Me.txt_Contact, t_Score = Me.txt_Score, t_Comments = Me.txt_Comments" _
& " WHERE RecordID = Me.lbl_RecordID.Caption"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
I am not sure but, you can try somethink like that
if you knom the new value to insert in the database try with a syntax like this one
UPDATE table
SET Users.name = 'NewName',
Users.address = 'MyNewAdresse'
WHERE Users.id_User = 10;
Now, if you want to use a form (php)
You have to use this
if(isset($_REQUEST["id_user" ])) {$id_user = $_REQUEST["id_user" ];}
else {$id_user = "" ;}
if(isset($_REQUEST["name" ])) {$name= $_REQUEST["name" ];}
else {$name = "" ;}
if(isset($_REQUEST["address" ])) {$address= $_REQUEST["adress" ];}
else {$adress= "" ;}
if you use mysql
UPDATE table
SET Users.name = '$name',
Users.address = '$adress'
WHERE Users.id_User = 10;
i don't know VBA but I will try to help you
Going on from my comment, you first need to declare strSQL as a string variable.
Where your error expects 6 values and access doesn't know what they are. This is because form objects need to be outside the quotations of the SQL query, otherwise (as in this case) it will think they are variables and obviously undefined. The 6 expected are the 5 form fields plus 'strSQL'.
Private Sub b_Update_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
dim strSQL as string
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "UPDATE Main" & _
" SET t_Name = '" & Me.txt_Name & "'," & _
" t_Date =#" & Me.txt_Date & "#," & _
" t_ContactID =" & Me.txt_Contact & "," & _
" t_Score =" & Me.txt_Score & "," & _
" t_Comments = '" & Me.txt_Comments & "'," & _
" WHERE RecordID = '" & Me.lbl_RecordID.Caption & "';"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
end sub
Note how I have used double quotes to put the form fields outside of the query string so access knows they aren't variables.
If your field is a string, it needs encapsulating in single quotes like so 'string'. If you have a date field it needs encapsulating in number signs like so #date# and numbers/integers don't need encapsulating.
Look at the code I have done and you can see I have used these single quotes and number signs to encapsulate certain fields. I guessed based on the names of the fields like ID's as numbers. I may have got some wrong so alter where applicable... Or comment and I will correct my answer.
hello I'm looking to just do a simple reason for what this is not working ... i have tried adding the same column twice, taking out the TextBox2 i just cant get it to work. all that works is if i take the last value out and the last column otherwise it will not work at all and i have now idea why.what i want is it to place a check mark in there to along with the name.
code:
Dim SqlText As String = "INSERT INTO tblEmployeeNames ([EmployeeName],
[UseForDropDown]) VALUES ('" & Trim(TextBox1.Text) & " " &
Trim(TextBox2.Text) & " " & (CheckBox1.Checked) & "')"
You have included the checkbox-state with the first value, you need to separate them with a comma.
Dim SqlText As String = "INSERT INTO tblEmployeeNames ([EmployeeName], [UseForDropDown]) VALUES ('" & Trim(TextBox1.Text) & " " & Trim(TextBox2.Text) & "', " & (CheckBox1.Checked))"
Notice the Checked state doesn't require apostrophes around it.
See SLaks comment as well, you should be using parameterized queries.
I have the following code:
sSQL = "SELECT CODER FROM " & dbfname & " IN " & dir & " WHERE TRIM(CODEK) = TRIM(kCode)"
Combo29.RowSource = sSQL
Combo29.Requery
, where "CODER" is a field in the dbf file. "CODEK" is also a field in that dbf file, which im comparing with the string kCode.
When I run the code and when I click on the combobox, it asks me to enter arguments instead of showing the selected arguments. The RowSource type is set to Table/Query.
Is the assigning statement incorrect and how can I modify it to show me list of results from the SQL statement?
If I understand your problem correctly kCode is a string in VBA so you'll have to set up your SQL string the following way
sSQL = "SELECT CODER FROM " & dbfname & " IN " & dir & " WHERE TRIM(CODEK) = TRIM('" & kCode & "')"`
