I have to add a table for database in Light-switch server, when i click the add table, i can able to add only the fields name and its property in the table. How can i add values for the field? I have to add values for the Name and Order fields of a table. Can any one help me.
Thanks in advance
Click to highlight the field you want to edit, and look for the Properties window. In properties, you should see Choice List, as long as you are looking at the Server perspective, and you are not looking at a Primary Key.

I am planning to move my access database to sql server using SSMA. I have a Column called Eligibility which have drop down list values as shown in Image. After Converting to sql I realized it doesn't have drop down list option. Can anybody suggest what will be the best solution of my situation? Either I can have any other option to design table in SQL which can hold List Values?
You can do one of the following:
Add CHECK constraint to Eligibility field allowing only a set of predifined values to be inserted into that field, as suggested in comment.
Better solution would be to create Eligiblity table (with id and value fields), and reference this table from main table by id field, possibly creating a PK-FK relationship. This way:
a) Only values from Eligibility table would be allowed. b) You could change and add entries in Elibility table without need to change constraint every time. c) A frontend application could use Elibility table to add drop-down functionality.
SQL Server does not work the same as access. It does not have dropdown option for you to choose from.
The proper way to implement dropdown option with SQL Server as database is to have another application as a front-end and let user access through the application. That way it is easier to manage security.
I have a quick question, what is the name of the TFS 2010 database table that contains values for any custom fields.
I did a query against the TFS_Warehouse DB and the dbo.DimWorkItem table. However, I cannot find any of my custom work item fields under this table.
Can someone point me to the correct TFS 2010 table containing the custom field data? When I worked with Quality Center, the tables were pretty well defined so it was easy to do backend DB queries. TFS does not seem that intuitive.
Thanks
you have to add "reportable" to field definition.
Example - FIELD name="Scope" refname="xxx.Scope" type="String" reportable="dimension"
Wait few minutes and you'll see field in warehouse DB
look,
you need to go to your collection database, and to check a table called something like Fields.
there, you will find the new field properties and the type as well.
you can change the type to string and to be reportable.
go to the table of the WORKITEMLATEST, and check the field- you can see the name of the field like what was mentioned in the FIELDS table,.
open your work item normally, edit that field information, click save...
you can see your data updated in the WORKITEMLATEST table
BUT...
the problem is the STRING type is limited... I tried to add more text.. it keep telling me that number of character is over limit !
I followed this great guide to help me add a search feature to my Access database:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/howdoi/how-do-i-populate-an-access-list-control-with-the-results-of-a-dynamic-search/108
At the end it says:
"If you’re building a quote or order, use the list control’s Click or Double Click event to copy record(s) to a temporary table. It’s easy to implement using a fixed query for each search task."
I have managed to display all search results in a list box and I would like to be able to click on a customer to highlight them, and then press a button to add an order to the selected customer. I've been thinking how I could do it and I really can't get my head around it.
Any help would be appreciated.
It depends on how you build your database. My guess is that one easy way would be:
Create a table with customers;
Create an "Order" table with orders where you link the customers through a foreign key
You load the customers in a listbox. While making the name visible, it is actually the ID that you retrieve when clicking the listbox. You can configure this via the wizard in the design view of a table. You can make other forms appear by events on the listbox (eg. on click).
If you managed to retrieve the ID of the customer, and you have the data related to the order (data that can easily be extracted from form objects and loaded into variables ) what you need is an insert statement and insert the values in the "Order" tabel (including the customer ID, which is linked through the foreign key).
This way all order records are linked to the customer and can be queried later.
Due to my limited knowledge on your other requests, I cannot help you any further on the rest of your database design.
I hope that my reply could help you and that I understood your question correctly.
You can access info from a listbox via:
List.Value
Or if it is not the first column then:
List.Column(0,0)
0 being the column and row references.
You may also consider using a listview over a listbox and then you can access the relevant parts of a listview control with the following code:
ListView.SelectedItem
Or if it is not the first column then:
ListView.SelectedItem.SubItems(3)
3 being the column reference
While setting up the database replication, the destination table that is getting created is having the same schema name of the source table. I want to have a different destination schema. But how do i get it?
Your question is addressed directly in this forum post.
Snippet:
...change destination_table to the new
table name in sp_addarticle, or in the
wizard, when you get to article
dialog, highlight the table, click the
Article Properties drop down, and
select set properties of highlighted
table article, and in the destination
object name enter the name of the
article.
i want to work on a form, here i will enter the data into text fields and this will be updated into a table as a new entry. Now out of the fields available iwant few of them to be stored into another table. so its like saving form data into multiple tables. I searched in many places but cudnt find any solution.
The best solution is to use a form and a subform. Table1 is bound to form and Table2 is bound to subform.
Thanks for the solution...i dont want to go for another form though...but i figured out a way..for the 2nd table i introduced a button and on click of the event wrote a vb code such that it will look for ID field of type autonumber(introduced for the sake of searching row) and used dlookup with a criteria expression to find out the row in 2nd table n used a insert statement...this worked...thanks for the response, appreciate it...
