Question i'm using VB.net as my front end and mysql as my backend. i'm actually new to this program and my employer asked me to create a system using this language. i have a particular search form with search fields|: date, lastname, barangay, free services and accounts collectible. how can i search a client using all these fileds OR only one field only (e.g. lastname) OR using two or three fields (e.g. date, barangay, free services)?
Answer I am guessing you would be an expert in writing SQL? and, I dont know, what alternative does mysql provides for stored procedures.
You can do it very simply writing a "stored procedure"
which includes a Dynamic SQL
e.g. (Please convert to mysql syntax accordingly)
Create Procedure SearchClient
@clientdate as datetime,
@lastname as varchar(50),
--@etc.etc.
AS
Select * from
tblClients
where lastname like '%' + @lastname + '%'
or clientdate = @clientdate
--or similarly other fields here.
Return
Then you can use Oledb.OleDBCommand and Connection and DataReader objects to execute the SP read the data and display it.
