Trouble with odbc or ole db

i am trying to connect by website to a database so i can
password my site but im having trouble doing it.
im new to building web sites so i could do with a dummies
guide on what the hell to do....lol
i have a database and i have some web pages but ive just
gotta get the 2 to talk, where do i put the database and should i
use ole db or dsn ??

Yes, look in the control panel of your hosting or contact
your host's
support..
You can password protect a directory (folder).
Put all of the private pages in this directory, and when
someone tries to
view them, he or she will be prompted to enter the password
you set up for
the directory.
Take care,
Tim

A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

Hi!
I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
SELECT name, birthday
FROM client
WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
          "FROM client " +
          "WHERE birthday " +
          "LIKE '*/" +
          pMonth +
          "/*' " +
          "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
Thanks,
Katia.

Hi Katia,
I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
statement.setString(1, test);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.hasNext())
// load your data into a data structure to pass back.
rs.close();
statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

What's a better connection to an SQL database? ODBC or OLE DB

NEw user here, but what would be a preferred way of connecting to my SQL database? So far I have option of using ODBC (RDO) connection or OLE DB(ADO) connection. I'm not sure what the differences or when to use one or the other.
Thanks

I like OLE DB for the simply because it's "portable". With OLE DB the connection info is stored in the report. With ODBC, the report is using a system dsn connection. It means that if you want to send it to another user / computer, you also have to make sure the other computer has the same ODBC connection.
In terms of performance... I've used both and have never seen a difference.

"Log on failed" with ODBC and Stored Procedure

I am in the process of porting our application from CR10 to CR.NET and am having some trouble setting the log on info.
I have a report that was designed against a stored procedure and a development database. The connection at design time is ODBC to a SQL Server. At runtime I want to set the database and logon credentials to that of the production server, set the stored procedure parameters, and then display the report. No matter what I do always get "Log on failed" error.
After having considerable trouble with ApplyLogOnInfo on the tables where it seemed to not actually apply my changes, I finally found code which appeared to work elsewhere on this forum. So this is the code that I have now, but the call to VerifyDatabase on the report always throws the Log on Failed exception:-
void SomeClass::SetLogOnInfoForReportRecursively(ReportDocument^ ReportObj)
 CrystalDecisions::Shared::TableLogOnInfo^ l_pTableLogOnInfoToSet = gcnew CrystalDecisions::Shared::TableLogOnInfo();
 CrystalDecisions::Shared::ConnectionInfo^ l_pConnectionInfo = l_pTableLogOnInfoToSet->ConnectionInfo;
 l_pConnectionInfo->AllowCustomConnection = true;
 l_pConnectionInfo->ServerName = gcnew String(m_strServerName);
 l_pConnectionInfo->DatabaseName = gcnew String(m_strDatabaseName);
 l_pConnectionInfo->UserID = gcnew String(m_strUserID);
 l_pConnectionInfo->Password = gcnew String(m_strPassword);
 DbConnectionAttributes^ l_pConnectionAttributes = gcnew DbConnectionAttributes();
 l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("Database DLL", "crdb_odbc.dll");
 l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("QE_DatabaseName", String::Empty);
 l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("QE_DatabaseType", "ODBC (RDO)");
 l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("QE_SQLDB", true);
 l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("SSO Enabled", false);
 l_pConnectionInfo->Attributes = l_pConnectionAttributes;
 //main connection
 ReportObj->SetDatabaseLogon(l_pConnectionInfo->UserID, l_pConnectionInfo->Password, l_pConnectionInfo->ServerName, l_pConnectionInfo->DatabaseName, false);
 //other connections
 for each(CrystalDecisions::Shared::IConnectionInfo^ pConnection in ReportObj->DataSourceConnections)
 pConnection->SetConnection(l_pConnectionInfo->ServerName, l_pConnectionInfo->DatabaseName, l_pConnectionInfo->UserID, l_pConnectionInfo->Password);
 //pConnection->SetLogon(l_pConnectionInfo->UserID, l_pConnectionInfo->Password);
 pConnection->LogonProperties->Set("Data Source", l_pConnectionInfo->ServerName);
 pConnection->LogonProperties->Set("Initial Catalog", l_pConnectionInfo->DatabaseName);
 // Now we need to set the log on info for any subreports otherwise they will always look for the datasource they were set up with.
 if (!ReportObj->IsSubreport)
 for each (ReportDocument^ l_pSubReport in ReportObj->Subreports)
 SetLogOnInfoForReportRecursively(l_pSubReport);
 for each (CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine::Table^ l_pTable in ReportObj->Database->Tables)
 TableLogOnInfo^ l_pCurentTableLogOnInfo = l_pTable->LogOnInfo;
 l_pCurentTableLogOnInfo->ConnectionInfo = l_pTableLogOnInfoToSet->ConnectionInfo;
 l_pTable->ApplyLogOnInfo(l_pCurentTableLogOnInfo);
 if (!l_pTable->TestConnectivity())
 // handle error situation
... then the calling code
SetLogOnInfoForReportRecursively( pReportObj );
// l_Parameters contains the stored proc param name/values pairs to set at runtime
for each (KeyValuePair<String^, String^> param in l_Parameters)
 pReportObj->SetParameterValue(param.Key, param.Value);
pReportObj->VerifyDatabase();
which then fails. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Are you using CR for VS SP 13? If not you can get it here:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
And MS SQL Server does not use a blank database name:
l_pConnectionAttributes->Collection->Set("QE_DatabaseName", String::Empty);
Set it to a database used in the report.
And you don't need to call .Verify, unless the reports are not up to date, which is not recommended, you should be using ReplaceConnection. ( Search for this, KBA's and posts on how to use it )
So rather that call .Verify try CRTable.TestConnectivity();
If that fails then you know your log on failed also.
Curious, if you try to preview the report it should prompt for log on info, if the Server and Database names are grayed out ( not editable ) then CR can't find the client either.
And MS recommends using the client that matches the version of SQL Server, So if 2005 and less you can use the MDAC SQL Client driver, for MS 2008 then use the SQL Native 10 or above.

Trouble with SQL Expressions

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with this SQL expression that works in 8.5, and XI R2 runtime and designer, but I cannot edit the expression. As soon as I open the SQL Expression and click the X-2 check button, the error following
SQL Expression I'm trying to run:
(Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
    from ceistaffing a1
    inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where a1.Staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID"
    and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
The Errror I Receive After Clicking the X-2 button:
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: SalesLogix OLE DB Provider
Description: The multi-part identifier "CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL.STAFFINGCHAINID" could not be bound.
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 181797304 ].
OK
This is the SQL statement passed to the database:
SELECT (Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where a1.Staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID"
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
If I reverse the order of the where clause as follows, I do not get the error
(Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID" = a1.Staffingchainid
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
This is the working SQL statement passed to the database.
SELECT (Select Distinct b1.CandEmploymentType
from ceistaffing a1
inner join ceisubmittal b1 on a1.submittalid = b1.ceisubmittalid
Where CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID" = a1.Staffingchainid
and b1.createdate in (Select max(b2.createdate) from ceistaffing a2 inner join ceisubmittal b2 on a2.submittalid = b2.ceisubmittalid where a2.staffingchainid = a1.staffingchainid))
FROM   "sysdba"."CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL" "CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL"
I figured I would just reverse the where clause statements, but then I came to this one that I couldn't get to work:
(Select case when tmp.restartcount = 0 then 'F' else 'T' end from
(Select Count(b.restart) as restartcount from ceistaffing a inner join ceihrprojectedactual b on a.staffingchainid = b.staffingchainid
where a.candcontactid = (Select distinct candcontactid from ceistaffing a2 where a2.staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID")
and b.restart = 'T'
and a.createdate = (Select min(a1.createdate) from ceistaffing a1
               where a1.createdate > (Select max(a3.createdate)
                              from ceistaffing a3
                              where a3.staffingchainid = CEIHRPROJECTEDACTUAL."STAFFINGCHAINID")
               and a1.candcontactid = a.candcontactid)) as tmp )
I've burned an entire day trying to find some solution. Are there any patches out there that will fix this?
I'm running Crystal Report XI Release 2 SP2 - Version 11.5.8.826
Thank you, ...Rob

Okay, to simplify the illustration of the problem Iu2019m facing, Iu2019ve created a bare bones example as described below:
I've created a report that returns all contacts from our "CONTACT" table. On the report, I've created a SQL expression to return a count of all contacts with the similar last name, as shown below:
(Select count(a1.ContactID) from CONTACT a1 where a1.LASTNAME = "CONTACT"."LASTNAME")
When I try to save the SQL expression, I get this error:
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: SalesLogix OLE DB Provider
Description: The multi-part identifier "CONTACT.LASTNAME" could not be bound.
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 205193720 ].
OK
This SQL expression works fine in CRW 8.5, but no luck in XI R2 SP4 - As mentioned above in the thread, this seems to be an issue solely with how XI R2 is parsing the SQL Expression. If I remove the "A1" alias from my expression all is good, but that will not work for some of the more advanced SQL expressions I have that are using joins and sub queries.
What will it take to get this recognized as an issue worthy of a hot fix? I'm at a stand-still here, facing the unfortunate possibility of having to re-architect many of my reports. Please help.
Thank you, ...Rob

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++, Bug in OLEDB ?

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++. The Code, which written in VB is working perfectly. Is there any different syntax in VC++ or bug in
OLE DB provider ?. I am using OraOLEDB 8.1.7 version.
Thanks
Mani
VB Code
' Enable PLSQLRSet property
Cmd.Properties("PLSQLRSet") = True
' Stored Procedures returning resultsets must be called using the
' ODBC escape sequence for calling stored procedures.
Cmd.CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}"
Set Rst1 = Cmd.Execute
VC++ Code (while execute it is giving error )
pCommand->CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}";
pRs1 = pCommand->Execute(NULL,NULL,adCmdStoredProc);

Hi
The odbc escape sequence for calling stored procedures works fine with VC++ also.
You can check the sampe application at following url :

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Trouble with OR in where clause

Hello,
I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:

SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM
primary_pledge pp

AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
-- Get total if single allocation
OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
RETURN return_amount;
END;
If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
Thanks

These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM   primary_pledge pp
WHERE pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                 FROM pledge_codes pc
                                 WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                 AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                 AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
UNION ALL
SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
   RETURN return_amount;
END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about: East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.
John

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT: CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''
