Correct usage of sqllite3_bin_text - c++

I'am writing a small application (Login Mask) to get comfortable with the usage of SQLite3.
Right now I have a problem with the correct usage of sqlite3_bind_text(). I've create a small DB with only 1 row. In this part of the code I would like to bind the user input to a variable and bind it to a statement. The user input delivered is by the getline(cin,variable) function.
My problem:
I get an instant "False Library use" when I try to use the bind method. The result is always 21. I have read the API documentation several times, but I obviously don't understand the last part.
Can someone please show me how to correctly use this function(s)?
I've checked my column types and they are "Text NOT NULL".
int Login::check_login(string username, string password) {
int errcode = 0;
string query = "Select a_username,a_password from t_user where a_username = ? and a_password = ?;";
sqlite3_stmt *createStmt;
errcode = sqlite3_prepare_v2(datab->get_db(), query.c_str(), query.size(), &createStmt, NULL);
if (!errcode)
throw runtime_error("Failed! Can not prepare statement DB.");
errcode = sqlite3_bind_text(createStmt, 1, password.c_str(), -1, SQLITE_STATIC); // Always 21 because of false library use
//there is more code but i think this should be enough
P.S.
I've googled this 2 days and found no solution / easy explanation of my problem.

I think your call to sqlite3_prepare_v2() fails and doesn't prepare valid statement (you don't get exception, don't you?), but there is a typo in error check.
When sqlite3_* function succeeds, it returns SQLITE_OK which is 0. So correct error check is:
if (errcode)
throw runtime_error("Failed! Can not prepare statement DB.");
That is why sqlite3_bind_text() also fails.

Unparsable MOF Query When Trying to Register Event

Update 2
I accepted an answer and asked a different question elsewhere, where I am still trying to get to the bottom of this.
I don't think that one-lining this query is the answer, as I am still not getting the required results (and multi-lining queries is allowed in .mof, as shown in the URLs in comments to the answer ...
Update
I rewrote the query as a one-liner as suggested, but still got the same error! As it was still talking about lines 11-19 I knew there must be another issue. After saving a new file with the change, I reran mofcomp and it appears to have loaded, but the event which I have subscribed to simply does not work.
I really feel that there is not enough documentation on this topic and it is hard to work out how I am meant to debug this - any help on this would be much appreciated, even if this means using a different more appropriate method.
I have the following .mof file, which I would like to use to register an event on my system :
#pragma namespace("\\\\.\\root\\subscription")
instance of __EventFilter as $EventFilter
{
Name = "Event Filter Instance Name";
Query = "Select * from __InstanceCreationEvent within 1 "
"where targetInstance isa \"Cim_DirectoryContainsFile\" "
"and targetInstance.GroupComponent = \"Win32_Directory.Name=\"c:\\\\test\"\"";
QueryLanguage = "WQL";
EventNamespace = "Root\\Cimv2";
};
instance of ActiveScriptEventConsumer as $Consumer
{
Name = "TestConsumer";
ScriptingEngine = "VBScript";
ScriptText =
"Set objFSO = CreateObject(\"Scripting.FileSystemObject\")\n"
"Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(\"c:\\test\\Log.txt\", 8, True)\n"
"objFile.WriteLine Time & \" \" & \" File Created\"\n"
"objFile.Close\n";
// Specify any other relevant properties.
};
instance of __FilterToConsumerBinding
{
Filter = $EventFilter;
Consumer = $Consumer;
};
But whenever I run the command mfcomp myfile.mof I am getting this error:
Parsing MOF file: myfile.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in the repository...
An error occurred while processing item 1 defined on lines 11 - 19 in file myfile.mof:
Error Number: 0x80041058, Facility: WMI
Description: Unparsable query.
Compiler returned error 0x80041058
This error appears to be caused by incorrect syntax in the query, but I don't understand where I have gone wrong with this - is anyone able to advise?
There are no string concatenation or line continuation characters being used in building "Query". To keep it simple, you could put the entire query on one line.

WMI GetStringValue Returns Null for added registry values

I'm going a little crazy here. I am trying to read the value of a registry string value I manually created and every time it returns a null. If I try to read the value of an existing registry string value, it returns the value just fine. Here is the code I'm using:
ManagementBaseObject rinParams = registry.GetMethodParameters("GetStringValue");
rinParams["hDefKey"] = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
rinParams["sSubKeyName"] = #"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework";
// rinParams["sValueName"] = "InstallRoot";
rinParams["sValueName"] = "test";
ManagementBaseObject routParams = registry.InvokeMethod("GetStringValue", rinParams, null);
if (routParams.Properties["sValue"].Value != null)
{
routput = routParams.Properties["sValue"].Value.ToString();
}
What I did was set the code to use the above code to read the value of the "InstallRoot" in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NetFramework\InstallRoot which is a REG_SZ value. I get a successful read and the directory path is returned just fine. I then created another REG_SZ variable name "test" in the same .NetFramework key and commented out the "sValueName" = "InstallRoot" and replaced it with a line for "sValueName" = "test". When I run this code under the debugger, I get a return value of null.
I've tried adding keys under SOFTWARE and values in that key like SOFTWARE\Testkey and I get the same result every time. It will not let me read a key I create, it always returns null, but it seems like I can read any key that already existed. I don't understand why I'm getting this result.
An FYI, is that I am doing a remote registry read from a Windows 7 PC. My ultimate goal is to be able to add registry keys and values. I've tried to do that and I always get an error exception "Not Found" when I try that, so I'm trying to get down to the easiest thing possible, which is to read a key and even that's not working. Any ideas for what might be going on here?
This is how I'm making the remote connection to the Windows 2008r2 server to read the registry:
ConnectionOptions connectoptions = new ConnectionOptions();
connectoptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
connectoptions.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.PacketPrivacy;
connectoptions.Username = "administrator";
connectoptions.Password = **password redacted**
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(#"\\" + systemIP + #"\root\default");
scope.Options = connectoptions;
ManagementClass registry = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("StdRegProv"), null);

If statement for cookie - WebMatrix/Razor

I have set a cookie that I want to use to populate a form, so that users don't need to keep filling out the same form (it's submitting an inquiry to owners of holiday villas).
I've got it working fine if the cookie is already set, but it errors out if there is no cookie set.
I'm guessing I'll need to use an "if" statement, but don't quite know how to write the code.
Here is the code that sets the cookie...
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"] = Request["BookingReqEmail"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"] = Request["BookingReqPhone"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"] = Request["BookingNumAdults"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"] = Request["BookingNumChildren"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"] = Request["BookingReqMessage"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4);
}
Here are the variables that collect info from the cookie...
var reqname = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"];
var reqemail = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"];
var reqphone = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"];
var numadults = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"];
var numchildren = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"];
var reqmessage = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"];
and here is a sample input from the form...
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="BookingReqName" id="BookingReqName" placeholder="full name…" value="#reqname">
In WebMatrix C#.net, I think you are looking for something like this:
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null)
{
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
}
else
{
Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).
}
Or you can use the same code as a one liner (to not clutter up your code, however this will decrease readability, obv.).
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null){Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];}else{Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).}
You'll just have to do that for all of your lines requesting cookie values.
The point is, though, that anything can go in the "else" block that helps you handle what to do when the cookie values have been cleared/expired (which you must always expect). You could redirect to a page that requests information from the user to reset any "forgotten" configurations, or, if you want to persist the data no matter what, consider storing these values in a database, instead, as those values won't clear/expire.
One last thing, if this doesn't help:
If you find yourself wondering what value to store in the cookie (the default value you wish to specify), because you need to know, right then and there, what it was supposed to have remembered, then I am afraid it is time to reconsider how you have structured the flow of data.
Sorry, but I have done that, once upon a time, only with Session variables, and it wasn't pretty :)
If you need any help with the best way(s) to transfer data between web pages, check this very helpful, concise link from Mike Brind's website: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/192/Transferring-Data-Between-ASP.NET-Web-Pages
It should just be the following
if(Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"] == null)
{
return; // <- if BookingEnquiry is null we end this routine
}
// Normal code flow here...

Null Reference Excepion when saving data on subsonic 3

I am testing subsonic 3, i can query my database but when i am inserting a record i have an exception. Here is my code:
Client lClient = new Client();
lClient.Name = "Peter";
lClient.FullName = "Richards";
lCliente.Save();
And i have a null reference exception on this generated code:
var newKey=_repo.Add(this,provider);
Any help is appreciated.
I am using ActiveRecords
I had a similar problem, with code not unlike the following:
var pending = myTable.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Id == 1);
if (pending == null)
pending = new myTable();
pending.Id = 1;
pending.MyDate = DateTime.Now;
pending.MyString = someString;
pending.Save();
This worked the first time I ran it, on an empty table, but not the second time when updating. I got a nullreference exception somewhere inside the subsonic repository. The solution was to add a primary key, as Rob suggested.
Just thought I'd mention it (thanks Rob).
Where does the null reference exception actually happen? Is _repo null?
Try and double check that you don’t have any columns in the “Client” table which are not nullable and you don’t set any value.
Also make sure you PK is handled correctly (check you have the [Property.IsForeignKey=true;] attribute)
Do you have NullReferenceException Checked in (file menu) Debug -> Exceptions (press Find and type NullReferenceException, press OK)?
I downloaded the SubSonic code and used it as reference for my project, the exception is thrown in SubSonic.Core\Repository\SubSonicRepository.cs:209 because prop is not checked for null at line 208, and any exceptions are swallowed as evidenced by line 213.
What happens is visual studio breaks on all the exceptions checked in the mentioned dialog. So in one way, this is the expected behaviour from the code.
What actually causes prop to become null, in my case, the table field name is lower-case, but the property is actually cased properly.
From Immediate:
tbl.PrimaryKey.Name
"playerinformationid"
item.GetType().GetProperties()
{System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[11]}
[0]: {System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[SubSonic.Schema.IColumn] Columns}
// *snip*
[5]: {Int32 PlayerInformationid}
// *snip*
item.GetType().GetProperty("PlayerInformationid")
{Int32 PlayerInformationid} // Works!
item.GetType().GetProperty(tbl.PrimaryKey.Name)
null
I hacked this together to "just make it work" (Warning: newbie at 3.5 stuff)
-var prop = item.GetType().GetProperty(tbl.PrimaryKey.Name);
+var lowerCasedPrimaryKeyName = tbl.PrimaryKey.Name.ToLowerInvariant();
+var prop = item.GetType().GetProperties().First<System.Reflection.PropertyInfo>(x => x.Name.ToLowerInvariant() == lowerCasedPrimaryKeyName);
Does your table have a PrimaryKey? It doesn't sound like it does. If not - this is your problem.

How Do You Call an MSSQL System Function From ADO/C++?

...specifically, the fn_listextendedproperty system function in MSSQL 2005.
I have added an Extended Property to my database object, named 'schemaVersion'. In my MSVC application, using ADO, I need to determine if that Extended Property exists and, if it does, return the string value out of it.
Here is the T-SQL code that does what I want. How do I write this in C++/ADO, or otherwise get the job done?
select value as schemaVer
from fn_listextendedproperty(default, default, default, default, default, default, default)
where name=N'schemaVersion'
Here's the code I tried at first. It failed with the error listed below the code:
_CommandPtr cmd;
cmd.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Command));
cmd->ActiveConnection = cnn;
cmd->PutCommandText("select value "
"from fn_listextendedproperty(default, default, default, default, default, default, default) "
"where name=N'schemaVersion'");
VARIANT varCount;
cmd->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdText);
...here are the errors I peeled out of the ADO errors collection. The output is from my little utility function which adds the extra text like the thread ID etc, so ignore that.
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : === 1 Provider Error Messages : =======================
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : [ 1] (-2147217900) 'Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'default'.'
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : (SQLState = '42000')
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : (Source = 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server')
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : (NativeError = 156)
(Proc:0x1930, Thread:0x8A0) INFO : ==========================================================
EDIT: Updated the call according to suggestions. Also changed "SELECT value AS schemaVer" to just "SELECT value".
EDIT: Changed the first parameter of Execute() to NULL per suggestion. This fixed my original problem, and I proceeded to the next. :)
Try specifying NULL rather than default for each parameter of fn_listextendedproperty. This should hopefully then execute without errors, just leaving you to retrieve the result as your next step.
I still have not figured out how to do this directly. To get on with my life, I wrote a stored procedure which called the function:
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[mh_getSchemaVersion]
#schemaVer VARCHAR(256) OUTPUT
AS
select #schemaVer = CAST( (select value from fn_listextendedproperty(default, default, default, default, default, default, default) where name=N'schemaVersion') AS varchar(256) )
return ##ROWCOUNT
...and then called thst sproc from my ADO/C++ code:
_CommandPtr cmd;
cmd.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Command));
cmd->ActiveConnection = cnn;
cmd->PutCommandText("mh_getSchemaVersion")_l
_variant_t schemaVar;
_ParameterPtr schemaVarParam = cmd->CreateParameter("#schemaVer", adVarChar, adParamOutput, 256);
cmd->GetParameters()->Append((IDispatch*)schemaVarParam);
cmd->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdStoredProc);
std::string v = (const char*)(_bstr_t)schemaVarParam->GetValue();
ver->hasVersion_ = true;
...which works, but I didn't want to have to deploy a new stored procedure.
So if anyone can come up with a solution to the original problem and show me how to call the system function directly from ADO/C++, I will accept that as the answer. Otherwise I'll just accept this.
