I've run into a bit of trouble guys. After days of labouring, debugging and researching, im on the 3rd to last line and im stuck. This isnt the full code, but the relevant parts.
Dim dbProvider As String
Dim dbSource As String
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim MaxRows As Integer
Dim sql As String
Dim TableName As String
TableName = TbTableName.Text
Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" & TableName & "]", con)
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
Dim dsNewRow As DataRow
Dim dsNewColoumn As DataColumn
dbProvider = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
dbSource = "Data Source = E:\A2 Computing\Project\PasswordDatabase.mdb"
con.ConnectionString = dbProvider & dbSource
con.Open()
Dim TableCreate As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("CREATE TABLE [" & TableName & "](" & "ID INTEGER NOT NULL" & ")", con)
Dim NewColoumn As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("ALTER TABLE [" & TableName & "] ADD " & X & " VARCHAR(60)", con)
TableCreate.ExecuteNonQuery()
da.Fill(ds, "NewTable")
MaxRows = ds.Tables("NewTable").Rows.Count
ds.Tables("NewTable").PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables("NewTable").Columns("CustID")}
X = 0
Do
X = X + 1
dsNewColoumn = ds.Tables("NewTable").Columns.Add
ds.Tables("NewTable").Columns.Add(X)
dsNewRow = ds.Tables("NewTable").NewRow()
ds.Tables("NewTable").Rows.Add(dsNewRow)
Loop Until X = 30
da.InsertCommand = cb.GetInsertCommand()
da.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand()
da.Update(ds, "NewTable")
End Sub
The problem im having is at this line here
da.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand()
The error is
Dynamic SQL generation for the UpdateCommand is not supported against a SelectCommand that does not return any key column information.
I understand this means my table doesnt have a primary key, but i have set one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! =)
You need the key column in the DB.
The command builder doesn't use the key you set in the datacolumn in the dataset.
In fact, if you look at the code, CB create command used by DA, but CB has no reference to your ds.Tables("NewTable").PrimaryKey, so CB will never be able to take your PrimaryKey in consideration.
So, you need to set a primary key in the DB.
Anyway, why do you have a Database table without a primary key?
Update (after reading the first 9 comments)
In my opinion you need to:
