Hi,
I'm not at all competent in ms-sql, nor vb, as we work in Oracle and Mysql
.... however, we need to port a couple of db queries to ms-access (2000) and
I'm having a heck of a time trying to make it work.
The immediate requirement is obtaining permutations of a relational
recordset
Specifically each record row will produce up to 3 letters and I need to
display all the combinations of L1, L2, L3, NULL for that row and avoid
reverse combinations (ie L1:L2 is the same as L2:L1) but including
self-referential combinations (ie L1:L1)
ie If the row produced 3 Letters (A,B,C) The subordinate results would be
A : A
A : B
A : C
A : NULL
B : B
B : C
C : C
C : NULL
In oracle you'd use a nested function to do this in mysql a group_concat
..... does anyone have a quick easy solution for ms-access?
many thanks

the usual way of displaying all combinations of something is to use a
deliberate cartesian product, exactly the same way you would in
Oracle...
Say I had a table of Students and a table of Courses. If I wanted to
see all possible combinations of (Student, Course), it's just
SELECT CourseID, StudentID
FROM Student, Course
note the lack of joins. then you can filter that to get what you want.
Or did I misinterpret the question?

Does anyone have any code for doing combinations in VB.net or visual
basic ? I'd like to
be able to get an array of combinations (not permutations) of words from a
base group of words while specifying the number of unique words to be used
in the result set.
For instance if I have the set {cat dog fish snake} I'd like to be able
to get back a result array of all possible combinations (not permutations)
of X number of words from my base...

I've seen an algorithm for permutations, but I need to find combinations.
Is there an STL equivalent to next_permutation for combinations? The
material I'm finding is kinda light, if anyone would like to offer advice on
how to approach this problem, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi.
I realize this might be more of a "figure out the algorithm" thing than
strictly an std question.. sorry if it is off topic? It certainly was in the
other group!
Also, I'm pretty old, not in school.. just trying to figure this out., so it
isn't an assignment.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
