Shaping data/multiple result sets - hmmm...

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help? I have a need to display some data on my
web page (the results of a search) for links. Here's the thing: Each
link can belong to one or more category (yes, I have a many-to-many
table). When the links are retrieved, I also want to retrieve the
categories the link is found in.

Let's say link A appears in categories X, Y, and Z, and a keyword
search brings back link A - due to the way the query is structured
(inner join), link A is retrieved three times due to it's presence in
categories X, Y, and Z.

The question is: How do I retrieve the categories (of which there may
be 1 or more for each link) along with the link? Or can't I?

I was thinking of multiple selects in a stored procedure (so they
could be put into separate dataset tables), but that would need some
correlation between the links found in the first query (i.e. the one
that finds the links) and the second (the one that retrieves the
categories for the links that have been found).

Alternatively, I could just cache the category table, along with the
LinkToCategory table and as I'm writing each entry to the page, look
up the corresponding category then - if I'm using a DataRepeater, I
think I can use the Item_Created event...

However, I don't really want to do that, I'd rather do it at the
database level. Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Mike K.

Hi! Another silly question: If a stored procedure returns multiple result sets, how do I choose the one I want to insert into a table? For example sp_spaceused returns two result sets if object name is ommited. I only need the first result set. How do I do that?

Hi all, I'm running Postgres 7.2.1 and I need to return multiple row sets from plpgsql function. I'm new in plpgsql but according documentation and everything I could find in the mailing list I need to switch to 7.3 to get at least SETOF rows as a result. I can't really upgrade Postgres now. Is there is any a workaround idea to retrieve multiple rowsets?

I am wondering if someone could provide a code sample (or just a suggested approach) on how to fill a single DataGridView with multiple result sets. For example, this statement returns a one-line result set for each table in the database: EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="EXEC sp_spaceused '?'" It would be handy to be able to put them all into one DataGridView. I would like to be able to handle an arbitrary SQL statement; above is just...

How to compare multiple result sets with a set of values? Here is the scenario.. My query returns me multiple results(one column of data) and I want compare all the data at once with a set of data. For example my query returns 1,2,3 and I want compare the result set with (1,3), can I do that using a query with out using stored procedures? Obviously using the in clause isn't working(i.e., (1,2,3) in (1,3)), any other alternative. Thanks,

Overview: 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,...
