The last one gives me a "Operation must use an updateable query. Your posting at 1:19 seems to solve the problem (sort of). I haven't established theexact number that causes it to blow up. But it appears that it doesn't run when part of the Analysis table is to big. I haven't been able to hunt...

That last one would be what did it.. Unfortunately I also just figured oout that Dcount blows up when you feed it a large amount of records programatically (system resources exceeded). However, it does work when embedded as a query in Access. So with that in mind. I guess my VB will just call...

I just tried it. I'm getting a Compile Error : External name not defined on the last LINK1

Hi All First off, let me say thanks for any advice or help you can provide with this problem. So I’m a bit confused with whats going on right now. I have two sets of tables that I need to run a DCOUNT routine (VBA) on and I am at a loss why the second one isn’t working programmatically. The...

thargtheslayer Thansk for the heads up.. Ironically, I did get tsk-ed tsk-ed on that approach earlier today. I think the current way will be to keep the table structure but just delete everything inside it.. (TRUNCATE, I think..) -e

I don't know if this answers the question or not about the "business need" end of things or not. But I figure I should give it a shot. And to be honest I’m a little concerned that I’m doing my whole approach incorrect. But I hope I have a decent enough head on my shoulders to be doing this thing...

Thanks for the help. It worked using the approach above, but it was very pokey (slow) 785 seconds for the query. I just want to verify something here.. The suggested approach earlier was to effectiverly run that as four different commands, right? (Make Table, Make Index, Run Update, Delete...

Sorry for the slow reply, I just got out of 6 hours of meetings.. update analysis a set NMBR_TRP = (select Count(*) from analysis s where a.tripid = s.tripid); It just keeps running. I had to cancel the operation. This brought up warning bells from an earlier posting I had which...

update a set NMBR_TRIP = FREQ from Analysis A join (SELECT ANALYSIS.TRIPID, Count(*) AS Freq FROM ANALYSIS GROUP BY ANALYSIS.TRIPID) S on A.tripid = s.tripid give me a ORA-009933: SQL Command not properly ended.. (I also get the same error with the semicolon at the end, If that matters)

Hi All, first off let me preface this posting by saying I am an Access guy who is still learning how to do some things in Oracle.. and therein lies my issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m assuming something along these lines is possible, right?? I have a table...

Thanks for the clarification. It helps quite a bit! I still have a lot of learnin' left to do with this Oracle stuff. -e

DING DING DING DING... That would be the correct answer.. Thanks! It works, but it is ridiculously slow, (but I'll deal with that later...) I must say I don't quite understand everything to do with indexes, but three of those fields did not have any indexes associated with them. Thanks Again -e

Mufasa First off thanks for the advice, but I still seem to be chasing my tail here… If I understand what you said earlier. (paraphrasing) Basically, we need to address every field that included in the select statement. Such that if we have a MAX(or whataver..) in the select statement. Then...

In answer to your first question about why my last code snippet didn't work.. I got a "ORA-00979 Not a GROUP BY expression" And I'm in the middle of playing with what you suggested . I initially got an error that it was "Not properly ended" but I think that was the second )) in AND...

Hi All First off let me state that any assistance that could be assistance/suggestions with this would be greatly appreciated… And I’ll give you the disclaimer to start. I’m an Access guy who is learning painfully that Access SQL isn’t quite the same as is required for Oracle.. But this works...
