Updating Primary Key

9 New Member
Hi experts,

(I hope I didn't post my question in the wrong category of the forum)
I am using in C#, Asp.Net, SQL Server for my project.
I have a situation whereby I need to update a primary key.

In my table, I have these columns:
proj_id, emp_name, emp_email

I have the following method

public static void updatePID(Strin g newpid,String oldpid)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(c onnString);
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("Upd ate table_name set proj_id = newpid where proj_id = oldpid");
conn.Open();
comm.Connection = conn;
comm.Parameters .AddWithValue(" @projectid", newpid);
comm.Parameters .AddWithValue(" @projectid", oldpid);

comm.ExecuteNon Query();
conn.Close();
}


I have a problem with the following two statements.
comm.Parameters .AddWithValue(" @projectid", newpid);
comm.Parameters .AddWithValue(" @projectid", oldpid);

My connection with the database and the variables "newpid" and "oldpid" values are correct.
May I know if there is any other methods to update a primary using the old primary key? Thank You in Advance.

try the following code will help you

public static void updatePID(Strin g newpid,String oldpid)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(c onnString);
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("Upd ate table_name set proj_id = " + newpid + " where proj_id = " + oldpid);
conn.Open();
comm.Connection = conn;

comm.ExecuteNon Query();
conn.Close();
}

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a database with the $_POST vars. Which makes more sense? 1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or not any particular field has actually changed 2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

Scenario: I select data from a SQL Server View which links 3 tables, into a single dataset table. I update some of those fields on a web form. When I want to update the db, clearly I can't update via a View - makes perfect sense. But because I used a View, I can't use the CommandBuilder. I have to specify my own Commands which will in some cases be huge and complex. This seems crazy - what if I change the db structure? And because I...

Hi, I am trying to use a data grid in a web application in which I have three tiers. The DataGrid is not set up to a data source, or a data adapter, so everytime I make a change I send the cell information to another object which forms an SQL query and makes the query to the DB (actually to a DBFacade object). In any case, please see the code I have listed below for my update DataGrid event. With this code, the DB is updated using the old...

Hi I'm hoping somebody can help me with the following problem that has occurred to me. Suppose I have two tables in an SQL Server database. Let's call these tables A and B. Assume that A has two fields: a primary key and another holding a string. In table B there are three fields: a primary key, a foreign key (which links to the primary key in A) and other field holding a string.

In an application I am writing the user can define a series of steps to be followed. I save them in a sql database using the field "order" (a smallint) as the primary key.

The problem may come in using a renumber function which should take the steps in their current order...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
