Creating Access Database Problem

Hi

I am trying to create an access database (vb 2005). The code sample below works fine if I create the database without specifying a username and password (values left blank). However if these are specified an exception is thrown. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Try

Dim cat As Catalog = New Catalog()

cat.Create("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

"Data Source=C:\Seans VB\AppGeneratorSystem\AppGen.mdb;" & _

"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;" & _

"User Id=user;" & _

"Password=pass;")

Console.WriteLine("Database Created Successfully")

cat = Nothing

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine("Failed to create database")

End Try

Hi,

which exception is thrown ? You should use the error information of the exception to to see what is failing during the creation. There should be a deatiled information in the properties of the exception like ex.Message. Although this is not a Access forum, feel free to come back with that, we will move the thread afterwards to the appropiate forum. For the next time, pick the forum which is more related to Access.

The exception that is thrown is:

'Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user'.

Originally I had posted this in the Visual Studio Express Edition (which I am using) forum. A forum Moderator moved the post to this forum. I would appreciate it if you moved the post to the appropriate forum. Alternatively let me know what the forum is and I'll close this post and add a new one in the appropriate place.

Thanks for your help.

|||Hi,

I don′t think that there is a direct way to do this in the connection string. The connection string is used for passing credentials during connections time, thus checking if the passed user exists in the database (as it does not upon creation time). You should better use the following link to figure out how to create the user after creating the database via code.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. I now undertand I was trying to do too much when creating the database.

I have tried to create a new group, as the example on the link you provided, does. This however is throwing an exception.

The code I am using is:

Dim cat As ADOX.Catalog

Dim cn As ADODB.Connection

cn = New ADODB.Connection

With cn

.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"

.Open("Data Source=C:\Seans VB\AppGeneratorSystem\AppGen.mdb;")

EndWith

cat = New ADOX.Catalog

cat.ActiveConnection = cn

Try

With cat

'Create and append new group with a string.

.Groups.Append("Accounting")

EndWith

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.ToString)

EndTry

The exception being thrown is 'Object or provider is not capable of performing operation'. I have looked this up and followed the instructions at the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b824261

I have created a new Workgroup Information file. This made no difference and the same exception is thrown. Additionally if I try and reference the workgroup file within the connection properties I get an exception within visual studio. e.g.

With cn

.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"

.Properties("Jet OLEDB:System database") = "c:\test\AppGen.mdw"

.Open("Data Source=C:\Seans VB\AppGeneratorSystem\AppGen.mdb;")

EndWith

It says the properties 'Item' is read only. According to the documentation this should not cause a problem if it is before when the connection is open.

I hope you can help.

Creating a trigger using a cursor

Hi all,
I need to create a trigger on all tables in a database that will insert into
an audit table username, and event on the table. I can create the trigger
individually, but I would like to put this into a cursor so I do not have to
run the trigger 500 times.
I am grabbing all user tables and trying to exec a string within the cursor
to create the triggers. I keep gettin eror by kyword insert. which I believe
is near
" INSERT INTO #inputbuffer"
Below is the code I am using:
TIA,
Joe
declare @.name varchar(100), @.str varchar(8000)
declare crscall cursor for
select name from sysobjects
where type = 'u'
open crscall
fetch next from crscall
into @.name
while @.@.Fetch_Status = 0
begin
declare @.str varchar(8000),@.name varchar(50)
set @.name = 'testrights'
select @.str = 'IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects
WHERE name = '+''''+@.name+'_Audit_InsUpd'+''''+' AND type =
'+''''+'TR'+''''+')
DROP TRIGGER Audit_InsUpd'
exec (@.str)
select @.str = 'CREATE TRIGGER '+@.name+'_Audit_InsUpd
ON '+@.name+
'FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS

DECLARE @.ExecStr varchar(50), @.Qry nvarchar(255)

' INSERT INTO #inputbuffer

insert into Tbl_MSDBAudit
select SUSER_SNAME(),@.qry
END'
select @.str
exec (@.str)
fetch next from crscall
into @.name
end
close crsCAll
deallocate crsCAllAre you sure you really want this kind of automation?
Anyway, change the script to print out the query strings instead of just
executing them. Then test them: parse them and attempt to execute them.
And when it's done - I don't want to scare you - you'll still have to test
them 500 times.
ML|||Thank you daniel,
I guess it was just an extra pair of eyes!
The first typo did the trick.
Thanks again.
Joe|||Thank you! this was helpful as well as Daniels.|||This is a one-time thing to create all the triggers so it won't get into
production code.
So good for the poster if he can automate the creation of the triggers.
But I agree with out on the last part, he's still have to test them all.
Maybe he can automate that part too. ;-)

He'll have automated himself out of existence.

Did you copy and paste that code? If so, there are 2 errors I spotted
straight away, both near the word INSERT. Comments inline, look for Typo #1
and Typo #2.

Typo #1. There's no space between ' and FOR, so you'd end up with invalid
syntax here as the table name will be concatenated into FOR and then the
INSERT keyword is invalid as there is no FOR.

Typo #2. There's a ' missing at the start of this line, so this INSERT won't
be inside the string being assigned to @.str, it's going to be run in the
trigger creating code and #inputbuffer doesn't yet exist as a table.
However, I'm pretty sure the error is due to typo #1 otherwise you'd have
received an error about table #inputbuffer not existing, the compiler might
not be getting this far.

Creating a Matrix report from an OLAP cube

Hello there
I am trying to create a Matrix report from an OLAP cube
but not having any luck. the end result I want is the
UserName along the Row section, Months of the year along
the column section (the date range will be specified in
the MDX statement), and the Data will be a count of hits
(which is my Measure) to my website on a per month basis
and Grouped By the UserName. My MDX statement looks like
this:
SELECT
{[Time].[Calendar].[2004].[May]:[Time].[Calendar].[2004].
[June]} on Columns ,
{[Business].[User].[Business Entity Id].[5611].Children }
on Rows
FROM UsageStats_Phase1
This query executed in the MDX Sample Application returns
exactly what i want. but I am having trouble getting the
same information in a Matrix or Table report. Would anyone
have any idea how to go about doing this? I'm quite new to
MDX, OLAP, and Reporting Services (not a very strong
position to be in, i know!) - so any help would be very
much appreciated!
Thanks in anticipation
MariaMaybe you need to explicit the measures (something like:
SELECT {[Measures].[<MISURE_NAME>], [Measures].[<MISURE_NAme>],...} on Columns,
{[Business].[User].[Business Entity Id].[5611].Children }
on Rows,
{[Time].[Calendar].[2004].[May]:[Time].[Calendar].[2004].
[June]} ON PAGES
FROM UsageStats_Phase1
maybe you need also to use the DESCENDANTS function for rows and pages
)
than, using a matrix control, drag the measures in the data fields.

creating / changing owner problem

I'm trying to create a new database and new login to allow a client
(through my asp.net page) to create their own database, username and
password. I've tried using the stored procedures I've found in BOL,
but I can't get it to work right. It keeps saying that I can't assign
this username as the db owner since it's already a user for the
database. I then read other posts about reassigning the db owner to
another dummy account and then trying to reassign it to the new one,
but that isn't working either. Can anyone look at my code and tell me
what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

//create db login
qry = "sp_addlogin '" + username + "', '" + password + "', '" + dbname
+ "'";
cmd.CommandText = qry;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

//grant login access to new database to new owner
tmpCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ourserver;User
ID=uid;Password=pwd;Initial Catalog=" + dbname + ";Network
Library=DBMSSOCN;");
tmpcmd = new SqlCommand("sp_grantdbaccess '" + username + "'",tmpCon);
tmpCon.Open();
tmpcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
tmpcmd.Dispose(); tmpcmd = null;
tmpCon.Close(); tmpCon.Dispose(); tmpCon = null;

If you intend to make the login owner of the database, there is no
reason to create a user for him in the database, but just skip that
step. Once the login owns the database, he also has a user in it.

Note: A login in SQL Server is server-wide. A user is something in a
database, which can be connected to a login. The username and loginname
may be the same, but they don't have to.
