• Visual Basic Newbie Database Question

  This is a very basic question, but I've wasted a few hours trying to figure it out already, so I'm groveling for help. I'm looking for basic code to help me open a database, read some of the contents into variables, and that's it for now (close the database). The database in question is a flat table in mdb format; 8 columns, 15 rows - each row is a record with a name (p01, p02, etc) and seven associated strings - pretty primitive. The 1st column ...Show All

  We have a table with an update trigger that we seem to be having unintended deadlock issues. The trigger, among other things, updates the same row that was updated to spawn the trigger. In our examples where we are encountering the deadlocks we are always doing single row updates on a unique clustered index. Originally, we seemed to be having a lot of unnecessary lock escalation occurring to the page and table level. We added a lock hint to t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Need some event that occurs before "BindingSource.CurrentChanged"

  I'm looking for a way to execute some operations before the record changes. I'm already using the "BindingSource.CurrentChanged" but I need some event that hapens BEFORE the record actualy changes.

Maybe there's an easier way to do that, but I'm thinking in use some 'flag' ...Show All

  I need to know what a table's max row Identity is part way thru a data flow.  I can't get it at the beginning of the data flow.  I need to either (1) add it to the data buffer part way thru or (2) set it into a package variable and then reference the var in a script component.
