Proper Names function

Hello: a nice simple question (I hope). Is there a MS SQL equivilant to PROPER (string) which would return "Fred Bloggs" from "FRED BLOGGS" and equally from "FrEd bLoggs" ? I cant find such ...
GerryNo one?

DECLARE @.x varchar(8000)
SELECT @.x = 'FRED BLOGGS'

SELECT UPPER(SUBSTRING(@.x,1,1))
+ LOWER(SUBSTRING(@.x,2,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)-1))
+ UPPER(SUBSTRING(@.x,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+1,1))
+ LOWER(SUBSTRING(@.x,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+2,LEN(@.x)-CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+2))|||Thanks. I was hoping for a nice simple built in function but hey-ho :)|||OK

CREATE FUNCTION udf_ProperName(@.x varchar(8000))
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN UPPER(SUBSTRING(@.x,1,1))
+ LOWER(SUBSTRING(@.x,2,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)-1))
+ UPPER(SUBSTRING(@.x,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+1,1))
+ LOWER(SUBSTRING(@.x,CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+2,LEN(@.x)-CHARINDEX(' ',@.x)+2))
END
GO

SELECT dbo.udf_ProperName('FRED BLOGGS')
GO

DROP Function udf_ProperName

Storing the password in a external storage (evtl. with encryption)

Prompt for user credentials for database

Hello friends,

In my web application I have saved my connection string into web.config file. Now I have to send this web application to the client in the form of web set up. The issue is that on the client side, user credentials for the database will be different. So can we do some setings that the web application whenever will run should ask for the server name, username & Password. If this can be done then the application can be run anywhere considering all compatibilities.

Please let me know how this can be done.

Thanks & Regards
Girish Nehte

Hi,

We also encounter same issue...we have done following things...

we have stored IP,Database Name,userid and password ( separated by "," ) in notepad file and saved it at some common location.

and in applications we are referring this information to access database...

and we are telling client to put these details in file...so user can not make any other changes in web.config by mistake.

Hi there,

Maybe I didn't understand well what's your problem, but it seems quite simple to me.

You only have one connection string (or user of the database). Then you have, for example, a table with many usernames/passwords you like.

When your client uses the applicaction, you ask for credentials right? Then you use your connection string, to check if its credentials match with any stored on the passwords table! If so you allow him to continue. If not, you don't allow the client to continue.

Hope it helped out :) And its safer than having it written on a text file!

Programmatically Adding ADO.NET Connections

I can't find any documentation on the connection string for creating ADO.NET connections.

I am displaying a report in a viewer. It is connected to a wrapper DLL through an ADO.NET connection using the properties:
File Path
Class Name
Dataset Names

I'm having trouble accessing these to change them at runtime.

I've tried something like:
rpt.database:Tables(1):ConnectionProperties("File Path") = "c:\..."

No luck. Crystal doesn't have much documentation on this method. Any takers?Nevermind. Got it.

I was able to override the path of my DLL at runtime using the syntax:

report.database.tables(1).ConnectionProperties("File Path").Value = "c:\blah"

seems to be working.
