I am using VS2013 with SQL server 2012, VB.net. I am developing a web application.
Let me say before I ask the question that this will probably be extremely simple for this board but I have not been able to find this through googling.
I have an SQL table that holds some data, two columns (settingName (nvarchar) and settingValue (float)). I want to do the following but using LinQ.
SELECT Settingvalue
FROM Settings
WHERE settingName = 'Name1'
I have the following so far in VB.
Dim db As New GMConnectionDataContext
Dim result = From a In db.Settings
Where a.SettingName = "Name1"
Select a.SettingValue
txtEgdon.Text = result
This doesn't work as result is a double but if I add .tostring to result then the output in the text box is the full linq query not the result I am looing for.
I just need to understand this simple query so I can build on it but I just cant get it and any help offered would be great.
This is because your result is an IQueryable and not a single value(even if you expect it to be). This is also why ToString will get you the SQL that will be run against your DB.
You need to get either the First or if you are really sure this would be a single value get Single. The OrDefaults are used in the case that no value is returned so the result will be null.
A Few options:
// You expect 1 to many results and get the first
txtEgdon.Text = result.First().ToString()
// You expect 0 to many results and get the first or null in case of zero results
txtEgdon.Text = result.FirstOrDefault().ToString()
// You expect exactly 1 result and get it (you will get an exception if no results are returned)
txtEgdon.Text = result.Single().ToString()
// You expect exactly 0 or 1 results and get null or the result
txtEgdon.Text = result.SingleOrDefault().ToString()
I would prefer the FirstOrDefault()

Trying to automate this part of Teradata query:
c."currency" = CONCAT('FOO_', '2021') -- c."currency" = 'FOO_2021'
trying to replace the 2021 with the currently selected fiscal-year, so it is not hard-coded:
c."currency" = CONCAT('FOO_', c."fiscal-year")
c."fiscal-year" is of type VARCHAR(20).
Problem - the first query returns about 5 times more results than the second one, so I am doing something wrong, I guess. Tried with TO_CHAR(c."fiscal-year") and so on, did not succeed.
I've just started using microsoft access so I don't really know how to solve this. I would like to use an update query to add a value from a form to a value on a table.
I originally used the SUM expression which gave me an error saying it was an aggregate function.
I also tried to add the two values together (e.g [field1] + [field2]) which as a result gave me a value with both numbers together instead of adding them together.
The following is the SQL I'm using:
UPDATE Votes
SET Votes.NumVotes = [Votes]![NumVotes]+[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes]
WHERE (((Votes.ActID) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combacts])
AND ((Votes.RoundNum) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum]))
I want to add a value [txtnumvotes] a form to a field [NumVotes] from the table [Votes].
Could someone please help me?
You can specify the expected data type with parameters:
PARAMETERS
[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes] Short,
[Forms]![frmVote]![combacts] Long,
[Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum] Long;
UPDATE
Votes
SET
Votes.NumVotes = [Votes]![NumVotes]+[Forms]![frmVote]![txtnumvotes]
WHERE
(((Votes.ActID) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combacts])
AND
((Votes.RoundNum) = [Forms]![frmVote]![combrndnum]))
Without the specification, Access has to guess, and that sometimes fails.
I have this linq query
Dim chiamateAperte = From statoRic In
dbVulcano.StatoRic.Where(Function(s) s.RFStato >= 11 And s.RFStato <= 13 And s.Attuale = 1 And s.RFTecnico = rfTecnico)
From richiesta In
dbVulcano.Richieste.Where(Function(r) r.IDRic = statoRic.RFRic).DefaultIfEmpty()
From cliente In
dbVulcano.Clienti.Where(Function(c) c.IDCliente = richiesta.RFCliente).DefaultIfEmpty()
Select statoRic.ID, statoRic.RFRic, statoRic.RFStato, statoRic.Attuale, richiesta.Descr, cliente.RagSociale, statoRic.DataAss, statoRic.Data, dataf = If(statoRic.DataAss.HasValue, statoRic.DataAss, statoRic.Data), statoRic.OraDalle, statoRic.OraAlle
Order By dataf Descending, statoRic.OraDalle Ascending
It's working fine but I want to add an order condition on "OraDalle" field.
OraDalle it's sort of a time field, but sadly on db it's defined as smallInt (and I cannot change it), so the format is like "800" to say "eight o'clock". This field can be null.
So instead of statoRic.OraDalle I tried this:
orad=if (statoRic.OraDalle.HasValue,statoRic.OraDalle,2359)
And then
Order By dataf Descending, orad Ascending
But it throws an ugly error: cannot cast system nullable 1 to system object of type 'system.nullable'. Only primitive types or enumeration types are supported in this context
Then I tried this:
orad=statoRic.OraDalle.GetValueOrDefault(2359)
But it also throw an error like: linq to entities does not recognize the method 'Int16 GetValueOrDefault(Int16)'
So... how can I achieve what I want? This whole mess is to get a list ordered by time, where null time values are at the bottom (and not on the top, as default). Thank you all!
Instead of if (statoRic.OraDalle.HasValue,statoRic.OraDalle,2359) use if (statoRic.OraDalle,2359)
This is the equivalent of C#´s null-coalescing-operator ??:
statoRic.OraDalle ?? 2359 which was the solution for a similar question.
I have following sql query in my hbm file. The SCHEMA, A and B are schema and two tables.
select
*
from SCHEMA.A os
inner join SCHEMA.B o
on o.ORGANIZATION_ID = os.ORGANIZATION_ID
where
case
when (:pass = 'N' and os.ORG_ID in (:orgIdList)) then 1
when (:pass = 'Y') then 1
end = 1
and (os.ORG_SYNONYM like :orgSynonym or :orgSynonym is null)
This is a pretty simple query. I had to use the case - when to handle the null value of "orgIdList" parameter(when null is passed to sql IN it gives error). Below is the relevant java code which sets the parameter.
if (_orgSynonym.getOrgIdList().isEmpty()) {
query.setString("orgIdList", "pass");
query.setString("pass", "Y");
} else {
query.setString("pass", "N");
query.setParameterList("orgIdList", _orgSynonym.getOrgIdList());
}
This works and give me the expected output. But I would like to know if there is a better way to handle this situation(orgIdList sometimes become null).
There must be at least one element in the comma separated list that defines the set of values for the IN expression.
In other words, regardless of Hibernate's ability to parse the query and to pass an IN(), regardless of the support of this syntax by particular databases (PosgreSQL doesn't according to the Jira issue), Best practice is use a dynamic query here if you want your code to be portable (and I usually prefer to use the Criteria API for dynamic queries).
If not need some other work around like what you have done.
or wrap the list from custom list et.
I'm a newbie at Hibernate so excuse me if some of this is glaringly obvious but it's been a very, very long day. I am trying to create and execute a simple query in Hibernate and Toad/Oracle.
The Toad/Oracle sql reads:
select
count(*)
from
fpps_owner.fee_claim_payment_lines l,
fpps_owner.fee_claim_payments p
where
l.fee_claim_payment_id = p.fee_claim_payment_id and
p.claim_index = 87167895
The above returns 10 records, which is correct
The following Java code returns 0 records, which is NOT correct
String sLinesAvailable =
"select count(*) from " +
"fpps_owner.fee_claim_payment_lines l, fpps_owner.fee_claim_payments p " +
"where " +
"l.fee_claim_payment_id = p.fee_claim_payment_id and p.claim_index = :id";
Query qLinesAvailable = em.createNativeQuery(sLinesAvailable);
qLinesAvailable.setParameter("id", "87167895"); // fails
qLinesAvailable.setParameter("id", 87167895); // fails
List<Object> out = (List<Object>) qLinesAvailable.getResultList();
BigDecimal x = (BigDecimal) out.get(0);
Returns 0 records. Using .getSingleResult() also returns 0 records.
What am I missing here?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
If you are not seeing any malformed query errors, it seems like the parameter is not binding correctly.
To debug, I'd print out that SQL statement the line after you set the parameter. This is the only way you can see the SQL after the parameter is set in order to compare it with Toad.
What does your binding file look like? Maybe you have a different name in there for the ID, so it's not able to find it based on the name. Trying binding with the parameter's order value, just as a test.
This might give some ideas: http://www.mkyong.com/hibernate/hibernate-parameter-binding-examples/
Best of luck! We've all been there :)
What happens when you try:
(Number) query.getSingleResult();
Your query isn't returning a list, but rather just a count.
Good luck.
