OleDbDataAdapter.Update and DBase IV

M

mark

I have written my own DataAdapter for my DBase IV file(s). The
Insert, Update and Delete calls all report success when I call
Update(...) on the DataAdapter. Unfortunately, when I recall the
data, only the Inserts and Deletes actually worked. For some reason,
the UpdateCommand is returning the correct number of records that were
affected according to the Update call:

nUpdates=daATBD.Update(workTable.Select(null,null,DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent));

but the changes are just not there...

I've tried everything that I can think of, including doing an combo
(Delete/Insert) for every Update, but that isn't going to work
either...

What gives?

Thanks in advance,
Mark Feferman

Hi Miha,
Thanks for the response...I was beginning to worry. <g>

Anyway, below is my UpdateCommand:


daATBD.UpdateCommand = new OleDbCommand("UPDATE ATBD SET
SCHOOLNUM=@SCHOOLNUM, TABLETYPE=@TABLETYPE, TABLEDESC=@TABLEDESC,
CODEHEAD=@CODEHEAD, DESCHEAD=@DESCHEAD, CODELENGTH=@CODELENGTH,
DESCLENGTH=@DESCLENGTH, SECURITY=@SECURITY,
FIELDTYPE=@FIELDTYPE,TABLEGRP=@TABLEGRP WHERE
TABLETYPE=@TABLETYPE",cn);

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@SCHOOLNUM", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "SCHOOLNUM";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@TABLETYPE", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "TABLETYPE";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@TABLEDESC", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "TABLEDESC";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@CODEHEAD", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "CODEHEAD";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@DESCHEAD", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "DESCHEAD";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@CODELENGTH", OleDbType.Numeric));
Param.SourceColumn = "CODELENGTH";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@DESCLENGTH", OleDbType.Numeric));
Param.SourceColumn = "DESCLENGTH";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@security", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "SECURITY";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@FIELDTYPE", OleDbType.Numeric));
Param.SourceColumn = "FIELDTYPE";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

Param = daATBD.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
OleDbParameter("@TABLEGRP", OleDbType.VarChar));
Param.SourceColumn = "TABLEGRP";
Param.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

// My work table
DataTable workTable=myDataSet.Tables[MyTable];

// doing the following actually shows me that I have modified rows...
DataRow[] drs = workTable.Select(null,null,DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent);
for(int i=0;i<foundRows.Length;++i)
{
DataRow dr=(DataRow)foundRows;
string original=dr["TABLEDESC",DataRowVersion.Original].ToString();
string current=dr["TABLEDESC",DataRowVersion.Current].ToString();
}

Might help to know what dBase driver you are using. Also, can we assume that your dBase files
(tables) have primary key indexes?

Hi mark,

I think that your problem is that you have @tabletype defined only once, so
the second one is always null.
BTW you might avoid changing TABLETYPE as it is unique?

I'm not sure what you mean by "@TABLETYPE" defined only once...
I have it defined for each command where it is used(Insert, Update, Delete).
Please explain.

BTW, I really appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Mark

Hi mark,

I did mean that @tabletype appears both in set and where part, so you have
two instances of it.
Thus, you have to add it twice to collection.
You should also name them differently: @tabletype for set part and
@original_tabletype for where part.

I think Miha may be saying the same thing here, but I don't see any reason to include the TABLETYPE
column in your Update. You're updating rows by a specified TABLETYPE (in your criteria) so why would
you then want to change the value of TABLETYPE for each row (unless there is something in your logic
I'm missing)?

Just wanted to let you all know that I fixed the problem. I was being
an idiot.
If you notice in the code I sent originally, I use the 'Original'
column as the source for the parameters....it should have been
Current. Totally my mistake and a big waste of time. Thanks for all
your input, however.

Sincerely,
Mark Feferman
