Question

A serious error in running scripts from delphi.

Asked by: Iman_Davoodian

Hi all.
I have a serious problem using Delphi 7 and sqlserver2000.
I want to run some scripts by AdoConnection.Execute and I want them all to run together(like a Bath).
But when I run my program and detect it with SQLProfiler I see that each line of my scripts is run in a block of login-logout and I don't know why.
I think this situation only accurs if we have a open query on the server.it means we have an adoquery with server cursor-location that open a cursor on the server.after that when we have some scripts in the way I described earlier, we have an error.
Look at the simplified bottom code:
ButtonClick:
AdoQuery.Open; // this is the one I just mentioned must be open wih server cursor-location.
AdoConnecton.Execute('Declare @T int');
AdoConnecton.Execute('Set @T = 2');
..
when I run the program and click on button on the form, Ado generates an error "the variable @T is not found",something like that, on line "AdoConnecton.Execute('Set @T = 2')" ;
when you check it in sqlprofiler, you see that the the above sqls sent to sqlServer have a surrounding login-logout around each one.

Any hep will be appereciate, dear friends.
Thanks a lot.

I'd recommend either using a TADOQuery to run the whole thing (instead of individual executes), or run the commands all in one go...

AdoConnecton.Execute('Declare @T int; Set @T = 2');

It's not a cursor issue - it's to do with commands being executed as a discrete process, which is closed after each execute.  It's the same as doing an EXEC command directly on the server.

It's better to use an ADOQuery for the script, as this gets executed in one go and should solve your problem.  If there's a reason why you don't want to do this, you'll have to explain and we can take it from there.  Otherwise, one of those suggestions should do the trick.

Cheers,

Jonh.

The thing is that I want to have these scripts  run in seperate places in sqlserer. to clarigfy it needs to be described more.
What I really want is a Transaction Management which is written in sql  on my application and wrap all of the sql opearations using ADO that run in my application.
Suppose this:
AdoConnecton.Execute('Begin Tran');
AdoConnecton.Execute(Save Tran T1');
...
we can have here some ado operations.
--
AdoConnecton.Execute('Begin Tran');
---
...
in some case
  AdoConnecton.Execute(Rollback Tran T1');
or
  AdoConnecton.Execute(Commit Tran');
.
.
.
As you see my problem is broader than that. Having Considered this, I concluded that the problem relates to opening server side cursors from ole-db provider. whenever you do that sqlserver ,as the Microsoft's sqlserver support site said, create an implied login in a current login and the problem is generated.
By the way, Having Sad all of that, I am still hopefull that perhaps there is a solution.
Any Help Would Be Apprecated, Dear Friends.
Thanks for reading.
With Regard.

You can begin/end and rollback transactions with an ADOConnection object, without using database executes...

  adoConnection.BeginTrans;
  ...
  do what you need here...
  ...
  adoConnection.CommitTrans;
  ...
  or
  ...
  adoConnection.RollbackTrans;

This should mean that you're back to the easiest choice of having your changes in a separate ADOQuery, rather than lots of individual executes.

Thanks for your attention ..
I know What you mean , but the question is this , Using ADOConnection to start and finish a transaction , can u use the nested transactions ???
These are all to use the nested transaction ....

 

by: JaymolPosted on 2009-01-13 at 02:21:34ID: 23361245

Yes, and no.

You cannot use the method I mentioned above for nested transactions - it simply won't work.

The only way you can do it is within an sql script that you execute via ado (query, command etc.).  This, I suppose, brings you back to the root of your question.

You can do what you are asking, but it must be done by 1 single script that gets executed in 1 hit.

Can you create a single script in query analyzer (or similar) that does what you need?  That's what you need to do, and then execute that script from your app.  Chances are, there is a way to do what you need, but you need to figure it out in a script, rather than in Delphi.

 

by: JaymolPosted on 2009-01-13 at 02:25:55ID: 23361261

Okay, I take it back.  You CAN do what you're asking, in the way you want.

Read this article with a very clear (albeit vb.net) code example.

Hope this helps - it's certainly easier than I thought it was!

I've answered your question mate - the link in my previous post has a code example of the exact thing you've asked for.

 

by: JaymolPosted on 2009-01-22 at 05:56:54ID: 23439278

My recommendation would be to mark this as the answer...

http://#a23361261

...but give the guy his points back.  I'm not a points hunter, and he's obviously reluctant to give them out.  I think this matters more to him than me, but it *would* be a shame to let the answer to a fair question just get deleted.

Cheers.
