Inserting value in a sql table from native database

anuragatish · 2007-12-22

Hi,

i want to insert some updated records from a nav table in native database to a sql table of similar structure

i have sucessfully made the connection and 'm able to insert record only if i insert all the records by there exact value.
eg. 'Insert into [UPS Interface]([doc_no])
values ('doc-10000')

but my problem is that, while running the function i have to pass the table record to the sql tables , which are as variables with me.

eg. Interface_rec."Document No."

and if i try to insert it through
SQLString := 'insert into [UPS Interface]([doc_no])
values([Interface_rec."Document No."])
it throws syntax error.

how do i insert the rec values into the sql table.

and second prob is that i'm not being able to write long SQLString.
how do i write a SQLString which spans into more than one line in C/Side.

Thanks and regards
Anurag

What do you used in writing to SQL? In case you can use ADO. Search the forum with "ADO" you can see lots of posting regarding this one. Cheers!

hi buddy,
thanks for the reply.
But i had mentioned in my post that i have made the connection and i can retrieve and insert record to an outside sql table .

The connection was made using ADO only.

my problem was that i was not able to pass rec type variables in the sql string .

Now i have found the way..the correct syntax would be as follows..

sqlstring = 'insert into adotest..table([id], [name]) values ('''rec.id''','''rec.name''')

. you just have to run the debugger and see that string being passed to sql is correct in syntax.

Cheers and merry christmas to all

Simpler way would be to use linked tables. You can link a Navision table with a view or table on a SQL db and then making modifications in one will reflect in the other.

thanks friend,

but as far as i know, i can use this trick only with navision's sql db. its not possible with native db.

i tried linking the native db in sql. but all in vain.

if anyone knows the correct way of linking the native nav db in sql db..then please respond...
