I know this query is not correct, but how should I write it?
UPDATE OFFER SET
IF(St != 3, St = 2 AND View = '$userupdate' AND Date_V_E = '$date', '')
WHERE Id = '$entryID'
The IF should be like this:
if(St != 3){
St = 2;
View = '$userupdate';
Date_V_E = '$date';
}else{
//DO NOTHING
}
UPDATE OFFER
SET St = 2,
View = '$userupdate',
Date_V_E = '$date'
WHERE Id = '$entryID'
and St <> 3
so my problem is this, I have a 3 part form that is a service ticket, the 1st part of the form is filled out by the dispatcher and submitted to mysql, the technician then see's they have a ticket assigned to them via email and they pull up the search result for tickets assigned to them and they click on a link in the search result that displays the 2nd form for them to enter what they did and what material and labor there is, this 2nd part of the form is my issue it has multiple values that are similar such as item_qty1, item_qty2, item_qty3 and so on. When I use more than 1 value like item_qty1 in my UPDATE tickets SET query I get a syntax error. Also, I am well aware that my code is subject to sql injection and I will deal with that when I have a working form. So here is my code:
<?php
// database connection //
include 'db_connect.php';
include 'data/var/variables.php';
//Writes the information to the database
mysql_query("UPDATE tickets SET work_performed = $work_performed,
item_qty1 = $item_qty1,
item_qty2 = $item_qty2,
item_qty3 = $item_qty3,
item_qty4 = $item_qty4,
item_qty5 = $item_qty5,
manuf_1 = $manuf_1,
manuf_2 = $manuf_2,
manuf_3 = $manuf_3,
manuf_4 = $manuf_4,
manuf_5 = $manuf_5,
part_number1 = $part_number1,
part_number2 = $part_number2,
part_number3 = $part_number3,
part_number4 = $part_number4,
part_number5 = $part_number5,
part_description1 = $part_description1,
part_description2 = $part_description2,
part_description3 = $part_description3,
part_description4 = $part_description4,
part_description5 = $part_description5,
part_price1 = $part_price1,
part_price2 = $part_price2,
part_price3 = $part_price3,
part_price4 = $part_price4,
part_price5 = $part_price5,
price_extension1 = $price_extension1,
price_extension2 = $price_extension2,
price_extension3 = $price_extension3,
price_extension4 = $price_extension4,
price_extension5 = $price_extension5,
material_total = $material_total,
sales_tax = $sales_tax,
shipping_cost = $shipping_cost,
work_date1 = $work_date1,
work_date2 = $work_date2,
work_date3 = $work_date3,
work_date4 = $work_date4,
work_date5 = $work_date5,
tech_name1 = $tech_name1,
tech_name2 = $tech_name2,
tech_name3 = $tech_name3,
tech_name4 = $tech_name4,
tech_name5 = $tech_name5,
cost_code1 = $cost_code1,
cost_code2 = $cost_code2,
cost_code3 = $cost_code3,
cost_code4 = $cost_code4,
cost_code5 = $cost_code5,
pay_rate1 = $pay_rate1,
pay_rate2 = $pay_rate2,

hours_subtotal3 = $hours_subtotal3,
hours_subtotal4 = $hours_subtotal4,
hours_subtotal5 = $hours_subtotal5,
total_hours = $total_hours,
material_total = $material_total,
labor_cost = $labor_cost,
grand_total = $grand_total WHERE `id` = '$id'");
mysql_affected_rows();
echo mysql_error();
?>
The code as it is wont post to the database, it displays the error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' item_qty1 = , item_qty2 = , item_qty3 = ' at line 1
I was told I don't need apostrophe's or back ticks on my values so I removed them and still get the error. Now I changed my code a bit to remove any similar values, example I removed any value beyond value 1 so item_qty2, item_qty3 and so on I removed so I now have this code:
mysql_query("UPDATE `tickets` SET `work_performed` = '$work_performed',
`item_qty1` = '$item_qty1',
`manuf_1` = '$manuf_1',
`part_number1` = '$part_number1',
`part_description1` = '$part_description1',
`part_price1` = '$part_price1',
`price_extension1` = '$price_extension1',
`material_total` = '$material_total',
`sales_tax` = '$sales_tax',
`shipping_cost` = '$shipping_cost',
`work_date1` = '$work_date1',
`tech_name1` = '$tech_name1',
`cost_code1` = '$cost_code1',
`pay_rate1` = '$pay_rate1',
`total_hours1` = '$total_hours1',
`hours_subtotal1` = '$hours_subtotal1',
`total_hours` = '$total_hours',
`material_total` = '$material_total',
`labor_cost` = '$labor_cost',
`grand_total` = '$grand_total' WHERE `id` = '$id'");
This modified code works flawlessly everytime with no syntax errors and posts to the selected record every single time, but, this wont work for me, I need the additional values OR I need a way for the user to add additional fields to the form if they need to which would solve my problem of not having to enter a value in every field unless they have to. Also if anybody has any examples on how to compress this to make it more "functional" not so bulky I guess, that would be appreciated very much. Thanks!
to just optimize the code, what can be done is :
// define an array of column names and values got from input.
$column_names = array('column1' => $column1, 'column2' => $column2, .....);
// built an sql select clause
$select_clause = array();
foreach ($column_names as $cn => $cn_val) {
if (!empty($cn_val)) {
$select_clause = "{$cn} = {$cn_val}";
}
}
// built proper query
$sql = "UPDATE table_name SET" . implode(',', $select_clause) . " table_name WHERE .....";
// continue with your stuff.
I am trying to do something relatively simple using IdbCommand to execute an insert query.
Here's the code:
using (IDbConnection conn = DbHelper.GetConnection(DbConnString))
using (IDbCommand com = conn.CreateCommand())
{
com.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
com.CommandText =
String.Format(
"INSERT INTO {0} (`Date`, User, Type, `Comment`) VALUES (#Date, #User, #Type, #Comment);",
TableName);
conn.Open();
var parameterDate = com.CreateParameter();
parameterDate.ParameterName = "#Date";
parameterDate.Value = entry.Date;
parameterDate.DbType = DbType.DateTime;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterDate);
var parameterUser = com.CreateParameter();
parameterUser.ParameterName = "#User";
parameterUser.Value = entry.User;
parameterUser.DbType = DbType.String;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterUser);
var parameterLogType = com.CreateParameter();
parameterLogType.ParameterName = "#Type";
parameterLogType.Value = entry.Type;
parameterLogType.DbType = DbType.Int32;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterLogType);
var parameterComment = com.CreateParameter();
parameterComment.ParameterName = "#Comment";
parameterComment.Value = entry.Comment;
parameterComment.DbType = DbType.String;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterComment);
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
But I keep getting a MySqlException with the message "Column 'Date' cannot be null".
All my selects work fine, it's just this insert that has a problem and I can't see an obvious problem with it.
The parameter is populated with a valid DateTime during runtime.
I thought it might be related to the fact that Date is a reserved word and needs backquotes, but that's what online tutorials recommend.
Any ideas?
Found it!
For some reason instead of #, it needs ?
So the working code is:
using (IDbConnection conn = DbHelper.GetConnection(DbConnString))
using (IDbCommand com = conn.CreateCommand())
{
com.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
com.CommandText =
String.Format(
"INSERT INTO {0} (`Date`, User, Type, `Comment`) VALUES (?Date, ?User, ?Type, ?Comment);",
TableName);
conn.Open();
var parameterDate = com.CreateParameter();
parameterDate.ParameterName = "?Date";
parameterDate.Value = entry.Date;
parameterDate.DbType = DbType.DateTime;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterDate);
var parameterUser = com.CreateParameter();
parameterUser.ParameterName = "?User";
parameterUser.Value = entry.User;
parameterUser.DbType = DbType.String;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterUser);
var parameterLogType = com.CreateParameter();
parameterLogType.ParameterName = "?Type";
parameterLogType.Value = entry.Type;
parameterLogType.DbType = DbType.Int32;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterLogType);
var parameterComment = com.CreateParameter();
parameterComment.ParameterName = "?Comment";
parameterComment.Value = entry.Comment;
parameterComment.DbType = DbType.String;
com.Parameters.Add(parameterComment);
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
TSQL:-
Update table1
Set Name = 'John',
Address = null
where
ID = 1
LINQ-TO-SQL
var tab = db.Table1.Single(s => s.ID == 3);
tab.Name = DateTime.Now;
tab.Address = null;
db.SubmitChanges();
There isn't a single LINQ to SQL statement for updates. You have to retrieve the object, modify it, then save the changes (code assumes a single row since you have a specific Id):
var entity = context.Table1.Single(t => t.Id == 1);
entity.Name = "John";
entity.Address = "Toronto";
context.SubmitChanges();
using (var dataContext = new MyEntities())
{
var contact = Contacts.Single (c => c.ContactID == 1);
contact.FirstName = 'John';
contact.Address= 'Toronto';
dataContext.SaveChanges();
}
I have SQL database as follows
alt text http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5774/dbimage.jpg
Now I want to filter the restaurant_detail table for the parameters:
1. cuisine 2. area
Can you help me to build LINQ query?
I presume you have a model generated either with LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework. Also, I'm assuming foreign key relationships have been set.
var details = db
.Cuisines
.Where(c => c.Cuisine=="something")
.SelectMany(c => c.RestaurantCuisines)
.Select(rc => rc.Restaurant.RestaurantDetails)
.Where(rd => rd.Area=="something")
;
Done with the linq query using following lines of code :
c = from q in dc.restaurant_cuisines
where q.cuisine.cuisine1.Contains(cuisine)
&& q.restaurant.price.ToString().Length == price.Length
select new NearBy { NearById = q.restaurant.id, NearByLongitude = (double)q.restaurant.longitude, NearByLatitude = (double)q.restaurant.latitude };
}
int[] ids = new int[c.Count()];
var lon = from q1 in dc.area_maps where q1.area.ToLower() == area.ToLower() select q1.longtitude;
var lat = from q1 in dc.area_maps where q1.area.ToLower() == area.ToLower() select q1.latitude;
foreach(NearBy n in c)
{
result = calcDistNew((double)lat.FirstOrDefault(), (double)lon.FirstOrDefault(), n.NearByLatitude, n.NearByLongitude);
ids[i++] = n.NearById;
}
var r = from q in dc.restaurant_details
where 1 == 1 &&
(ids).Contains(q.restaurant_id)
select new Restaurant
{
Restora_id = q.restaurant_id.ToString(),
Name = q.restaurant.name,
Foodtype = q.restaurant.foodtype.foodtype1,
Avg_rating = q.restaurant.avg_rating.ToString(),
Featured = q.restaurant.featured.ToString(),
CuisineList = getCuisine(q.restaurant_id),
Restora_type = q.type,
Distance = Math.Round(calcDistNew((double)lat.FirstOrDefault(), (double)lon.FirstOrDefault(), (double)q.restaurant.latitude, (double)q.restaurant.longitude), 2),
Newarrival = q.restaurant.newarrival.ToString(),
CountRecord = ids.Length.ToString()
};
var d = r.AsEnumerable().OrderBy(t => t.Distance);
var g = d.Take(recordSize + 10).Skip(recordSize);
return g.ToList();
