SQL Date Issue...

Hi,
I am trying to enter values into the db. The data type for the column is "datetime".
I have the value in the format "2008-10-03 07:50:10.0" and if i do this, i am just left with the date. Time gets truncated.
java.util.Date uploadDate = photo.getUploadDate();
               java.sql.Date sqlUploadDate= null;
               if(uploadDate!=null){
                    sqlUploadDate = new java.sql.Date(uploadDate.getTime());
               stmt.setDate(6,sqlUploadDate);
When i try to print uploadDate i get following : 2008-10-03 07:50:10.0
When i try to print sqlUploadDate i get following : 2008-10-03
Please suggest how can i also pass time along with the date in "sqlUploadDate".
Please let me know if i am not clear enough.
Thanks
Deepti

Hey guys.. i got it working..
I did this if(uploadDate!=null){
t = new java.sql.Timestamp(uploadDate.getTime());
stmt.setTimestamp(6,t);
and i am getting what i needed..
Thanks for you response though...
Thanks
Deepti

After call commit sql , data can not flush to disk

I use berkey db which support sql . It's version is db-5.1.19.
1, Open a database.
2. Create a table.
3. exec "begin;" sql
4. exec sql which is insert record into table
5. exec "commit;" sql
6. copy database file (SourceDB_912_1.db and SourceDB_912_1.db-journal) to Local Disk of D, then use a tool of dbsql to open the database.
7. use select sql to check data, there is no record in table.

Hi,
Here is a simple test case program I used based on your description:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "sqlite3.h"
int error_handler(sqlite3*);
int main()
 sqlite3 *m_pDB;
 const char *strDBName = "C:/SRs/OTN Core 2290838 - after call commit sql , data can not flush to disk/SourceDB_912_1.db";
 char * errors;
 sqlite3_open_v2(strDBName, &m_pDB, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL);
 error_handler(m_pDB);
 sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "CREATE TABLE [TBLClientAccount] ( [ClientId] CHAR (36), [AccountId] CHAR (36) );", NULL, NULL, &errors);
 error_handler(m_pDB);
 sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "begin;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
 error_handler(m_pDB);
 sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "INSERT INTO TBLClientAccount (ClientId,AccountId) VALUES('dd','ddd'); ", NULL, NULL, &errors);
 error_handler(m_pDB);
 sqlite3_exec(m_pDB, "commit;", NULL, NULL, &errors);
 error_handler(m_pDB);
 //sqlite3_close(m_pDB);
 //error_handler(m_pDB);
int error_handler(sqlite3 *db)
 int err_code = sqlite3_errcode(db);
 switch(err_code) {
 case SQLITE_OK:
 case SQLITE_DONE:
 case SQLITE_ROW:
 break;
 default:
 fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: %s. ERRCODE: %d.\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db), err_code);
 exit(err_code);
 return err_code;
}Than I copied the SourceDB_912_1.db database and the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory containing the environment files (region files, log files) to D:\, opened the database using the "dbsql" command line tool, and queried the table; the data is there:

dd|dddI do not see where the issue is. The data can be successfully retrieved, it is present in the database.
Could you try putting in the sqlite3_close() call and see if you still get the error?
Did you remove the __db.* files from the SourceDB_912_1.db-journal directory?
Did you use PRAGMA synchronous, and if so, what is the value you set?
If this is still an issue for you, please describe in more detail the exact steps needed to get this reproduced and provide a simple stand-alone test case program that reproduces it.

Interestingly, after the job fails thru our batch scheduler environment, when I run the same script that's being used in the batch scheduler, the job completes successfully.
Also, this is first time, I saw this kind of error message.
Appreciate any help or any suggestions to find a resolution. Thanks,

Hii Priya,
The reasons may be the file is open, the format/flatfile structure is not correct, the mapping/transfer structure may not be correct, presence of invalid characters/data inconsistency in the file, etc.
Check if the flatfile in .CSV format.
You have to save it in .CSV format for the flatfile loading to work.
Also check the connection issues between source system and BW or sometimes may be due to inactive update rules.
Refer
error 1
Find out the actual reason and let us know.
Hope this helps.

Raghu.

SQL Performance issue: Using user defined function with group by

Hi Everyone,
im new here and I really could need some help on a weird performance issue. I hope this is the right topic for SQL performance issues.
Well ok, i create a function for converting a date from timezone GMT to a specified timzeone.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION I3S_REP_1.fnc_user_rep_date_to_local (date_in IN date, tz_name_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN date
IS
tz_name VARCHAR2(100);
date_out date;
BEGIN
SELECT
to_date(to_char(cast(from_tz(cast( date_in AS TIMESTAMP),'GMT')AT
TIME ZONE (tz_name_in) AS DATE),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
INTO date_out
FROM dual;
RETURN date_out;
END fnc_user_rep_date_to_local;The following statement is just an example, the real statement is much more complex. So I select some date values from a table and aggregate a little.
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stampThis statement selects ~70000 rows and needs ~ 70ms
If i use the function it selects the same number of rows ;-) and takes ~ 4 sec ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin'),
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
fnc_user_rep_date_to_local(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin')I understand that the DB has to execute the function for each row.
But if I execute the following statement, it takes only ~90ms ...
select
fnc_user_rep_date_to_gmt(stp_end_stamp,'Europe/Berlin','ny21654'),
noi
from
select
stp_end_stamp,
count(*) noi
from step
where
stp_end_stamp
BETWEEN
to_date('23-05-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND
to_date('23-07-2009 00:00:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
group by
stp_end_stamp
)The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!
Usually i would say, that I use the third statement and the world is in order. BUT I'm working on a BI project with a tool called Business Objects and it generates SQL, so my hands are bound and I can't make this tool to generate the SQL as a subselect.
My questions are:
Why is the second statement sooo much slower than the third?
and
Howcan I force the optimizer to do whatever he is doing to make the third statement so fast?
I would really appreciate some help on this really weird issue.
Thanks in advance,
Andi

Hi,
The execution plan for all three statements is EXACTLY the same!!!Not exactly. Plans are the same - true. They uses slightly different approach to call function. See:
drop table t cascade constraints purge;
create table t as select mod(rownum,10) id, cast('x' as char(500)) pad from dual connect by level <= 10000;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 't');
create or replace function test_fnc(p_int number) return number is
begin
 return trunc(p_int);
end;
explain plan for select id from t group by id;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from t group by test_fnc(id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));
explain plan for select test_fnc(id) from (select id from t group by id);
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'advanced'));Output:

Add one day to java.sql.date

I ask user to enter a date: yyyy-mm-dd, then I want to add one day to that date, I don't know how to do it?
java.sql.Date time2 = java.sql.Date.valueOf( args[0] );
Many Thanks.

since a date object is really nothing more than a long you can always add one day's worth of milliseconds to it....
long milliInADay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
Date d = ......
d.setTime(d.getTime() + milliInADay);although there may be some issues with this i'm unaware of, but seems pretty straightforward to me.

Convert java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date in oaf

Hi,
Need to dafault NeedBydate(i get in from query as below) to a messagelovinput and make it read only.
i am facing some issue in converting from java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
unable to figure out the problem.
below is the sample code im trying to use.
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",oracleDate);
this is my assumption : to set to UI i need date in format dd-Mon-yyyy.(am i correct? as to get that format i tried to use simple date format class but no use)
when i tried to use simple date format :unpaseable date exception was raised.
please guide.

Hi,
Why are you using this code???
PreparedStatement ps=pageContext.createPreparedStatement("select sysdate from dual");
ResultSet rs=ps.executeQuery();
if (rs!=null && ps.next()
java.sql.Date sqlDate= rs.getDate(1);
oracle.jbo.domain.Date oracleDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate.getTime());
you can get sysdate using this and then set it
oracle.jbo.domain.Date currentDate = am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentUserDate();
java.text.SimpleDateFormat displayDateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd");
String DateForm = displayDateFormat.format(currentDate.dateValue());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date dateset = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(DateForm);
and then set the attribute
vorow.setAttribute("Datevalue",dateset);
Thanks,
Gaurav

PL/SQL speed issues when using a variable

I have a very strange issue that is causing problems.
I am running Golden connecting to a 11g database.
I created a procedure to insert records into a table based on a query. The source query includes variables that I have populated prior to the insert statement. The problem is that if I use the variable for one very specific where statement, the statement goes from running in less than 1 second, to running in 15 minutes. It gets even more strange though. Not only does a 2nd variable not cause any problems, the exact same variable in the same statement works fine.
This procedure takes 15 minutes to run.
declare
 v_start_period date;
 v_end_period date;
begin
 select add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1), trunc(sysdate,'mm')
 into v_start_period, v_end_period
 from dual;
 insert into RESULTS_TABLE
 (first_audit_date, last_audit_date,
 data_column1, data_column2, data_column3)
 select
 a.first_audit_date, a.last_audit_date,
 b.data_column1, b.data_column2, b.data_column3
 from
 SOURCE_TABLE_1 b,
 (select marker_id, min(action_time) as first_audit_date, max(action_time) as last_audit_date
 from SOURCE_TABLE_2
 where action_time >= v_start_period and action_time < v_end_period
 group by marker_id) a
 where b.marker_id = a.marker_id
 and exists (select 1 from SOURCE_TABLE_2
 where marker_id = b.marker_id
 and action_time >= v_start_period and action_time < v_end_period
 and action_type = 'XYZ');
 commit;
end;This procedure runs in less than 1 second, yet returns the exact same results.
declare
 v_start_period date;
 v_end_period date;
begin
 select add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1), trunc(sysdate,'mm')
 into v_start_period, v_end_period
 from dual;
 insert into RESULTS_TABLE
 (first_audit_date, last_audit_date,
 data_column1, data_column2, data_column3)
 select
 a.first_audit_date, a.last_audit_date,
 b.data_column1, b.data_column2, b.data_column3
 from
 SOURCE_TABLE_1 b,
 (select marker_id, min(action_time) as first_audit_date, max(action_time) as last_audit_date
 from SOURCE_TABLE_2
 where action_time >= v_start_period and action_time < trunc(sysdate,'mm')
 group by marker_id) a
 where b.marker_id = a.marker_id
 and exists (select 1 from SOURCE_TABLE_2
 where marker_id = b.marker_id
 and action_time >= v_start_period and action_time < v_end_period
 and action_type = 'XYZ');
 commit;
end;The only difference between the two is where I replace the first v_end_period variable with trunc(sysdate,'mm').
I've been googling for possible solutions and keep running into something called "parameter sniffing". It appears to be a SQL Server issue though, as I cannot find solutions for Oracle. I tried nesting the insert statement inside it's own procedure with new variables populated by the old variables, but nothing changed.

Edited by: user_7000017 on Jan 8, 2013 9:52 AM Put the code in code tags.

You are not describing procedures. You are listing anonymous PL/SQL blocks.
As for the code - this approach to assigning PL/SQL variables are highly questionable. As the functions are native PL/SQL functions too, there is no need to parse and execute a SQL cursor, do context switching, in order to assign values to PL/SQL variables.
This is wrong:
select
 add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1), trunc(sysdate,'mm')
 into v_start_period, v_end_period
from dual;This is correct:
v_start_period := add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'), -1);
v_end_period := trunc(sysdate,'mm');Just as you would not use +"select 1 into plVariable from dual;+", instead of a standard variable assignment statement like +"plVariable := 1;"+.
As for the performance/execution difference. Does not make sense. I suggest simplifying the code in order to isolate the problem. For example, take that in-line SQL (aliased as a in the main SQL) and create a testcase where it uses the function, versus a PL/SQL bind variable with the same data type and value as that returned by the function. Examine and compare the execution plans.
Increase complexity (if no error) and repeat. Until the error is isolated.
The 1st step in any troubleshooting, is IDENTIFYING the problem. Without knowing what the problem is, how can one fix it?

VPD date issue between 10.1 and 10.2 databases

I have uncovered an issue today with VPD against date fields. The issue came up at a client site on a 10.2 database. When I got back to the hotel and tried this on my own database, which is 10.1, I got no issue and everything worked ok.
Therefore, I am asking if anyone is able to try out the following for me on different Oracle databases and platforms and let me know whether it worked for you or not. I'd like to compile a list of database versions and platforms on which the issue occurs.
Step 1: create this table as a user
CREATE TABLE TST_DATE AS (
SELECT 1 PERSON_UID,
Trunc(SYSDATE) BIRTH_DATE,
To_Char(Trunc(SYSDATE), 'DD-MON-YYYY') CHAR_DATE,
123456 TAX_ID,
'Smith, Michael B.' FULL_NAME FROM dual);
Step 2: grant select rights on the table
GRANT SELECT ON TST_DATE TO PUBLIC;
Step 3: switch your login to SYS and run this script:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_CHECK_ITEM_TST(p_object_schema in varchar2, p_object_name varchar2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := '1 = 2';
BEGIN
RETURN(V_PREDICATE);
END F_CHECK_ITEM_TST;
Step 4: As SYS, run this to grant access rights over the function
GRANT EXECUTE ON F_CHECK_ITEM_TST TO PUBLIC;
Step 5: As SYS, run this to enable the policy
BEGIN DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY(
OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST',
FUNCTION_SCHEMA => 'SYS',
POLICY_FUNCTION => 'F_CHECK_ITEM_TST',
STATEMENT_TYPES => 'SELECT',
POLICY_TYPE => DBMS_RLS.DYNAMIC,
SEC_RELEVANT_COLS => 'BIRTH_DATE',
SEC_RELEVANT_COLS_OPT => DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS);
END;
Note: in the above policy change the OBJECT_SCHEMA name to be the name of the user who owns the table you created in Step 1
Step 6: Go into Discoverer Admin and import the table as a new folder.
Be sure to uncheck the "Date hierarchies" box and set "Default aggregate on data points" to detail. Grant access to any user.
Step 7: Using Desktop or Plus, log in as that user then try to query the folder with the date not included, there should be no problem.
Step 8: Now try to query with the date included
On my 10.2 database I get ORA-24334: no descriptor for this position. This happens when logged into Discoverer as the table owner, EUL owner or any other user. However, when logged into Discoverer as SYS which is exempt from all VPD policies, there is no error when the date is included.
We tried this in Discoverer Desktop, Plus and Viewer with the same results in all three. We can successfully query the table from SQL*Plus, SQL Developer and TOAD.
There also seems to be no issue at all with the 10.1 database so there seems to be an issue between Discoverer and the 10.2 database.
What do you think?
P.S. to cancel the policy use this script when logged in as SYS:
EXEC DBMS_RLS.drop_policy(
OBJECT_SCHEMA => 'DRAKE',
OBJECT_NAME => 'TST_DATE',
POLICY_NAME => 'SecByTST');
This same information is available on my blog in a more readable format here:

Hi Rod
Well don't you just love Oracle. Obviously, whatever tests were done for certifying Discoverer against the 10.2 database did not include checking VPD policies. This merits a blog entry from me.
Your workaround for V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'BIRTH_DATE=TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')'; works. However, I had to write a new function to do this because my real function was trapping about a dozen items at the same time, some dates, some numbers and some varchars - exactly the way that the Oracle example code shows it in the 10.2 database manual.
So what I did was to create a new function that only handles dates and added a dedicated policy that works with only that function. Unfortuately, because I have many dates to manage, I was unabe to hard code the BIRTH_DATE so here is what I did:
V_PREDICATE VARCHAR2(2000) := 'SYSDATE = TO_DATE(''01-JAN-0001'')';
This works perfectly and Discoverer stopped complaining. It just has two policies on the same table for different data items. Isn't VPD cool? I'm hooked.
I really appreciate your time and effort on this. Now, let's see what Oracle support make of the issue because I raised a service request last night. No reply yet I'm afraid.
Best wishes

Configuring SQL Data Sources in Essbase Server

Hello, I was trying to connect Oracle from Essbase Application Manager, after executing inst-sql.sh and properly setting the ARBORPATH variables and ODBC ini file into the correct path.Driver is also setup I created a Rule file and try to connect to Oracle , I am getting an error "SQL Data Source unavailable for the application" Could anyone help me in resolving this issue?.

Do you have the ODBC connection set up on your desktop, or on the server? It may be that you need it on both.

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?

Oracle 11g - External Table/SQL Developer Issue?
==============================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .csv format. Here is our data look like.
======================
Date1,date2,Political party,Name, ROLE
20-Jan-66,22-Nov-69,Democratic,"John ", MMM
22-Nov-70,20-Jan-71,Democratic,"John Jr.",MMM
20-Jan-68,9-Aug-70,Republican,"Rick Ford Sr.", MMM
9-Aug-72,20-Jan-75,Republican,Henry,MMM
------ ALL NULL -- record
20-Jan-80,20-Jan-89,Democratic,"Donald Smith",MMM
======================
Our Expernal table structures is as follows
CREATE TABLE P_LOAD
DATE1 VARCHAR2(10),
DATE2 VARCHAR2(10),
POL_PRTY VARCHAR2(30),
P_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
P_ROLE VARCHAR2(5)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY P_EXT_TAB_D
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED by NEWLINE
SKIP 1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LDRTRIM
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
DATE1 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
DATE2 CHAR (10) Terminated by "," ,
POL_PRTY CHAR (30) Terminated by "," ,
P_NAME CHAR (30) Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ,
P_ROLE CHAR (5) Terminated by ","
LOCATION ('Input.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
It created successfully using SQL Developer
Here is the issue.
It is not loading the records, where fields are enclosed in '"' (Rec # 2,3,4,7)
It is loading all NULL value record (Rec # 6)
*** If we remove the '"' from input data, it loads all records including all NULL records
Log file has
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field P_NAME
KUP-04036: second enclosing delimiter not found
KUP-04101: record 2 rejected in file ....
Our questions
Why did "REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS" not working?
Why did Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' not working?
Any idea?
Thanks in helping.

I don't think this is a SQLDeveloper issue. You will get better answers in the Database - General or perhaps SQL and PL/SQL forums.

Oracle 11g - Date Issue?

Oracle 11g - Date Issue?
=====================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04.
Our NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-RR'
Using 'RR' in the format forces two-digit years less than or equal to 49 to be interpreted as years in the 21st century (2000–2049), and years 50 and over, as years in the 20th century (1950–1999). Setting the RR format as the default for all two-digit year entries allows you to become year-2000 compliant. For example:
We have a date '01-JUN-31' in our source system. It treat this date as 01-JUN-2031' instead of '01-JUN-1931'. One century forward.
Do we able to resolve using NLS_DATE_FORMAT change?
How do we resolve this issue?
Thanks in helping.

Our source is Oracle data base, where S_date is defined as DATE. Why did you say STRING , when it defined as DATE data type?I doubt you source is an Oracle database. You may have it stored in an Oracle database, but it cam form somewhere else, and was very likely inserted into the table as a string, wherever it came from. Given a string that resembles a date, Oracle will try to convert it to a date using the nls_date_format parameter for the session (which can either be set in the session or inherited form the database). Perhaps this will help explain:
SQL> create table t (conv_type varchar2(10), dt date);
Table created.
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd-mon-rr';
Session altered.
SQL> insert into t values ('Implicit', '01-jun-31');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('Explicit', to_date('01-jun-1931', 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select conv_type, to_char(dt, 'dd-mon-yyyy') dt
2 from t;
CONV_TYPE DT
Implicit 01-jun-2031
Explicit 01-jun-1931So, unless you are really inserting dates, not strings that look like dates, you are going to have problems.

Concatenated SQL Data Source in BIP 11G

Hi all,
I have performed a repository upgrade of BI Publisher from 10G to 11G. Everything is working perfectly fine except the problem below:
All the reports consists of 2 data sets. Both of them are sql queries. Data_set 1 is guaranteed to return the result set as it queries the sysdate and puts as the date the report ran. This is for auditing purpose. Data_Set2 contains the business logic for the report. At times this query does not return any data. In the case where both queries returned data, I am able to publish my report in all available output formats. e.g xml, pdf and html just to mention a few. However, in the case where Data_Set2 does not have any result set but Data_Set1 does, I am only able to display the data in XML not PDF or HTML. For pdf it come back with the message "Failed to load PDF Document" and in HTML comes with an error message "oracle.xdo.servelet.data.DataException: Layout not found".
In BI Publisher 10G, you can could choose an option of "Concatenated SQL Data Source" and it will be able to generate the report in any format with just the result set of Data_Set1 i.e sysdate for the date when the report was ran.
Any idea as to how I can achieve the same goal in BI Publisher 11.1.1.5
Regards
Joster

Hi all,
I managed to realise what was the problem.
It seems like with BIP 11G, one does not to explicitly select "concatenated SQL Data Source" as was the case in 10G when using more than one data source. This option is implicitly applied.
The issue on my side was that some of the templates I had upgraded from 10G were corrupted hence the data was returned through xml but not other template based output.
Thanks

My database not listed at SQL data source in Web Expression 4

Can anyone help me out?
Am not sure whether this is the correct place for my problem.
I set up SQL Server 2005. Created a database named "employee" and a table under it "emp_info"
I tried to connect it from Microsoft Web Expression 4 through SQL Data Source control. Well, the connection test is successful but the database i created is not shown in the drop down. However, it shows the system databases.
Again i create the table under one of the system databases, and tried to connect it. Those system tables which are there from before are only available to connect but not the table i newly created.
I have checked the properties, permission of the table as well as the database. Nothing is wrong there.
Will attach screenshot after the forum admin verify me.

Hi Marconi,
The forum supports VS setup and installation. Your issue is more about Web Expression 4. But I find the information below from the link:http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/#web
The web is now about applications as well as traditional web sites, and this requires a new set of tools. Microsoft is committed to offering a unified approach to focus on web design and development features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and beyond.
As part of this consolidation, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 provides the leading web development tool, which enables you to design, develop, and maintain websites and web applications. Visual Studio 2013 makes it easy to build CSS-based websites from the
ground up with CSS layouts, HTML5 support and full featured capabilities for working with and debugging JavaScript. Learn more about

It seems you could install VS express 2013 for web to instead it. If you want to install VS express for web and you encounter any issue, you could post the installation issue to here.
>>No, this is not the correct forum. This forum is for using .Net Framework inside SQL Server.
The sentense is from the first reply. It seems you first post the issue to SQL server for help. As Erland said, it seems your issue is more about Web Expression 4. Have you solved your issue by using the first reply? If has, please mark the first reply as
answer. If not, you could post your issue to the related forum for better support.
