Currently, my code reads from a database without knowing the order of the
columns like this:
string name = (string)datarow["name"];
However, is there a way to write or do an INSERT back to a database without
getting caught up in the order of the columns?
Right now I do something like this, which is delicate and breaks if the
order of the columns changes:
database.Execut eNonQuery("INSE RT INTO dbtable VALUES ('texas', 'austin',
1971)";
Thanks in advance! 2 1790

"INSERT INTO dbtable (state, city, date) VALUES ('texas', 'austin', 1971)";
Obviously, amend the column names accordingly :-)
Otherwise, use a parameterised stored procedure.

You can use the "full" syntax:
INSERT INTO <tablename> (<columnlist>) VALUES (<valuelist>)
for instance (guessing a bit)
INSERT INTO dbtable (state, town, year) VALUES ('texas', 'austin', 1971)
the order of values needs to be the same as the columns ("1971" maps to
"year"), but it is independent of the order in the table definition.
You can also skip columns this way, to have the database use the defined
default values.

I'm doing a data conversion project, moving data from one SQL app to
another.
I'm using INSERT INTO with Select and have the syntax correct. But when
executing the script I get:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to float.
Is it possible to change the data type during the INSERT INTO statement?

been ruminating on the question (mostly in a 390/v7 context) of
whether, and if so when, a row update becomes an insert/delete.
i assume that there is a threshold on the number of columns of
the table, or perhaps bytes, being updated where the engine just
decides, screw it, i'll just make a new one.
surfed this group and google, but couldn't find anything.

Hi
Shortly, I keep invoices in a table.
Occasionally, someone will fire the execution of a stored procedure
(SP) that performs several UPDATEs against (potentially) all invoices
OLDER than a date that is supplied to the SP as a parameter.
The SP is usually a lengthy process (it takes at least 30 mins).
The problem is that SQL server 2000 Dev Edition doesn't allow me to
insert new invoices that are "younger", while the SP is executing....

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,...
