Updating only changed rows in database

[Nathan]

Hi,

When I update my database, I call the updates like this (in order to submit
hierarchial changes properly):

daAdapter.Update(tblMyTable.Select("", "", DataViewRowState.Added))
daAdapter.Update(tblMyTable.Select("", "",
DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent))
daAdapter.Update(tblMyTable.Select("", "", DataViewRowState.Deleted))

When working with the dataset, I have tons of rows in some tables that are
often accessed (I pull data from the tables and display the data on
controls), but no data in them is changed. The rows are still marked as
ModifiedCurrent, and it takes a few seconds for all the rows to update.
Really, I don't need these rows to be resubmitted at all. Will the
DataSet.HasChanges method work for me, or is there another way to tell the
update event not to update these "unchanged" rows?

Thanks in advance,

Nathan

Nathan,

AFAIK will only the rows with a changed rowstate be updated and you don't
need all those extentions.

You can test it yourself, you can as well make something as a kind of this
routine

if mydataset.haschanges then
da.update(mydataset.getchanges)
mydataset.acceptchanges '(in this way of use needed)
end if

And that of course with all errror handling.

To explain this
haschanges looks if there are changes
getchanges makes a copy dataset of all changed rows
acceptchanges set all rowstates too changes done

I hope this helps?

Aah, I think I realized what's causing my rows to be marked as modified--I
AM sending information back to the rows. My mistake!
