I'm using Pervasive SQL with VB.NET. I create a data table via primary keys, NameKey and DateKey. I want to then make a copy of that table, change the DateKey for all records in that table, and put it back in the database. Is there an easier or faster way than going row by row? Below is my code:
'Create table to copy from
FromDT = New DataTable(TableName)
FromRS = "select * from " & TableName & " WHERE NameKey = '" & FromKey &
"' AND DateKey = '" & FromDate & "'; " FromDA = New OleDbDataAdapter(FromRS, CN) FromCB = New
OleDbCommandBuilder(FromDA) FromDA.FillSchema(FromDT, SchemaType.Mapped) FromDA.Fill(FromDT) 'Create table to copy to ToDT = New DataTable(TableName) ToRS = "select * from " & TableName & " WHERE NameKey = '" & TOKey & "'
AND DateKey = '" & TODate & "'; " ToDA = New OleDbDataAdapter(ToRS, CN) ToCB = New OleDbCommandBuilder(ToDA) ToDA.FillSchema(ToDT, SchemaType.Mapped) ToDA.Fill(ToDT) Dim Toclonerow As DataRow For i = 0 To FromDT.Rows.Count - 1 Toclonerow = FromDT.Rows.Item(i) Toclonerow.Item("DateKey") = TODate ToDT.Rows.Add(Toclonerow.ItemArray) Next ToDA.Update(ToDT) ToDT.AcceptChanges()
