Adjust values in db base in the value modified on the form?

Hi everyone,

Here is the problem I am facing with. I have a form which has multiple fields including Price (read only), Discount(read/write), TotalSellPrice(read/write), Quantity(read/write) ... What I need to do is I need to adjust TotalSellPrice value if there was a new Discount value entered and vise versa. If both values have been changed I should use Discount value entered and calculate the TotalSellPrice. I am having hard time figuring the query out. Any thoughts or ideas in what direction should I go.

Thanks for your help!Hi everyone,

Paste your query or the tables involved and explain what you want in new one?|||I don't have any query yet, I need to come up with the query that will check which value has been changed and do update approprietly.

Ex. #1 - Discount value is changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (changed to) 10%
TotalSellPrice $0 (hasn't been changed) -> I need to calculate it then. it becomes $180

Ex. #2 - Discount and TotalSellPrice values are changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (changed to) 10%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $150
Then I need to calculate TotalSellPrice since both Discount and TotalSellPrice values have been changed. TotalSellPrice becomes $180

Ex. #3 - TotalSellPrcie value is changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (hasn't been changed) -> I need to calculate it. Discount is 25%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $150

Ex. #4 - TotalSellPrice value is changed to number bigger then it's original one then I have to keep Discount at 0% don't go negative
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (hasn't been changed) -> I need to keep Discount at 0%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $250|||I don't have any query yet, I need to come up with the query that will check which value has been changed and do update approprietly.

Whatever I make out from the above problem is, you want to adjust the data according to the changes in the other fields.I think you can easily do it at the front end and send the update query to the database according to its invoice no.
An user can see the store data and update it anytime by changing the different fields.You can do the neccessary calculation at the front end.And pass a simple update query to the database.That will do the trick..|||I think you can easily do it at the front end and send the update query to the database according to its invoice no.
The thing is it would not be efficient from a programming stand point, because I have to grab all the information from the database and store it somewhere in the session, then compare it to what user enters, then create a query dynamically instead of using stored procedure. I need a back end query that will handle all these stuff for me.

Any idea?|||Any idea?

And you need not have to create a stored procedure for such a small calculation.I think so...;)|||Maybe I explained it incorrectly, I am sorry.
What I do I initially populate those fields with the default data from the database

Ex. - Initial page load
Price -> "$100"
Quantity -> "0"
Discount -> "0%"
TotalSellPrice -> "$0"

After user updates any of writable fields I do update and populate that form again but base on the rules I described before, I hope that explains everything.|||Maybe I explained it incorrectly, I am sorry.

So...?? You can write the adjustment code in asp page,and simply update the record.Mind it you are not doing anything more than that..so I don't think on the point of efficiency ,use of stored procedure will make any difference...|||After user updates any of writable fields I do update and populate that form again but base on the rules I described before...You think it is efficient or good programming practice to make a call to the database every time a user changes a value on a form?

It's not, and you certainly wouldn't design scalable enterprise applications this way.

Your form should get complete recordsets from the database (even defaults), and should submit complete recordsets to the database.

And frankly, you don't have to store all the detail data to keep track of the new total. NewTotal = OldTotal - OldValue + NewValue. That is just three variables.

Ad-hoc reporting memory consumption

Hi to all, on our project we are facing this problem: our users using report builder are making reports containing several Mb of data (sometimes also 1Gb!). Now it happens that when 3-4 users do a report like that on the server the process w3wp.exe reaches also 10 Gb of memory allocated and then the whole reporting services istance stops working. We want to limit the number of rows that can be extracted from the sql server db using report builder. In the report model reference seems that there is not this kind of option (something like "max rowcount"). Is it possible to set this limit to the user that connects to sql server (something like: whatever is the query this user does, set @.@.rowcount to 10000)? Thanks. Alberto.

Hi Alberto,

We are currently facing your same issue. Did you get some solution to limit the rowcount on reportbuilder models? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi Cato, unluckly it seems that there isn't a good solution. Keep an eye on security filters on report models,this is the only thing that seems to "filter" data.

HTH.
