Can you tell me what is wrong with this syntax ?


string select = "UPDATE [PME].[dbo].[Expense] " +
"([ID],[ClientID],[Total],[TPS],[TVQ],[Gtotal],[DateFAC],
[DatePAY],[Description],[fl_type],[fl_status],
[fl_category],[fl_source],[defaut], [Cheque],
[fl_taxable], [notaxe], [id]) " +
" VALUES
(@id,@clientid,@total,@tps,@tvq,@gtotal,@datefac,@datepay,
@description,@fltype,@flstatus,@flcategory,@flsource,@defa
ut,@cheque,@fltaxable,@notaxe,@id) " +
" WHERE id = @id";

I receive the following error,

try instead:

string update = "UPDATE [PME].[dbo].[Expense] " +
"SET [ID] = @id, [ClientID] = @clientid, " + (etc!)
"WHERE id = @id";

string select = "UPDATE [PME].[dbo].[Expense] " +

Carl,

Are you trying to do an UPDATE or INSERT? The command you've written
appears to be a strange combination of both. Is this command being
sent to an SQL server, or some other kind of database?


Chris.
 
Hello,

You are using wrong SQL syntax. I assume that this is an update, although
you've mixed the UPDATE and INSERT syntax.

It should be:
UPDATE yourTable
SET
column1 = 'value1',
column2 = 'value2'
WHERE
id = @id

column1 and column2 are examples of column names, you should substitute this
to your column names (i was lazy writing...)

Hope this helps

The issue as been fixes using the following syntax,

string select = "UPDATE Expense " +
"SET ID = @id,ClientID = clientid,Total = @total,TPS =
@tps,TVQ = @tvq,Gtotal = @gtotal,DateFAC = @datefac," +
"DatePAY = @datepay,Description = @description,fl_type =
@fltype,fl_status = @flstatus,fl_category = @flcategory,"
+
"fl_source = @flsource,defaut = @defaut,Cheque = @cheque,
fl_taxable = @fltaxable,notaxe = @notaxe " +
"WHERE id = @id";

Thanks for all the answers...

Carl,
