guys ...i am happy :) it is working... tnx a lot  Andreas ...
thank you TomBon and BrianH
TomBon
nice, good luck with your crossword afsan...
BrianH
With parameterized queries (even in REBOL) the SQL and the parameters are sent separately and combined in the server. The query plan is generated only once per query, with the parameter placeholders being in the plan. Then the actual parameters are plugged into the plan. The next time the parameterized query is called (maybe with differe3nt parameter values) the same plan is used and the new parameter values are plugged in.
TomBon
isn't this execution optimation?. in this case a stored procedure will help also. how will this prevent from sql injection? compared to a concatenated server side sql string?
BrianH
If you build a query dynamically with rejoin or something, the query is put together client side and then the server has to generate a new query plan for each distinct set of parameter values. This takes time and blows the query plan cache, which slows down the whole query process.
The problem is that your ad-hoc parameter screening is usually not perfect. Parameterized queries don't build a query in the server, they just plug in the values to an already-compiled query (the "query plan"). The server doesn't have to do any parameter screening other than for malformed values in the protocol.
TomBon
depends on the needs. I always try to detach the data sink from input logic. this way you can change your db backend very easy but of course everybody has it's own style in this.
BrianH
For new developers ad-hoc parameter screening is even more likely to be bad (and most that don't use parameterized queries are still new, no matter how long they've been programming, because parameterized queries are almost always inherently better). Even if it wasn't a safety issue, they're a lot faster.
I've seen data front-ends that don't use parametrized queries when talking to SQL servers that support them. They need work.

could you tell me how can i compare values of two tables in database?

Endo
About parametrized queries: The only problem using them on R2, at least with RT's default ODBC, there is no chance to use NULL values. None of those work:
insert db-port ["INSERT t (a) VALUES (?)" NULL]
insert db-port ["INSERT t (a) VALUES (?)" 'NULL]
insert db-port ["INSERT t (a) VALUES (?)" "NULL"]
insert db-port ["INSERT t (a) VALUES (?)" none]
insert db-port reduce ["INSERT t (a) VALUES (?)" none]
TomBon
you have more than one solution, the first is a simple serial SELECT on each table -> compare the output for equal.
of course this produce unnecessary DB overhead but I guess you won't feel any speed difference except you are
serving a whole city concurrently. another, better one is a JOIN or UNION.
SELECT table_name1.column_name(s), ...
FROM table_name1
LEFT JOIN table_name2
ON table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name
the JOIN direction (LEFT,RIGHT,INNER) for your reference table is important here.
the resultset is a table containing BOTH columns. if both having a value -> match, if one is empty then you don't.
index both fields to accelerate the query and use something like the free SQLyog
to test different queries to make debugging easier for you.
while you situation reminds me to myself, sitting infront of a monochrom asthon tate dot some decades ago
and asking what next?, you should 'bite' yourself now thru the rest. It won't help you on longterm if you don't.

@TomBon: my query for joining two tables is :insert db["select * from data LEFT JOIN data1 ON data.oneone=data1.oneone"]     and output is :[
    ["c" "a" "t" "a" "e" "r" "o" "a" none none none none none none none none]
]    plz tell me what should i write in query that i get values instead of none in output ?
afsanehsamim
guys when i enter correct value in form the above join query works properly... i need help for writing queries which other condition,it means if user enter wrong value ,it joins with first table but dose comparing indicidually  and shows error message.
the output of this query insert db[{select * from data LEFT JOIN data1 ON data.oneone=data1.oneone}]
is : [
    ["c" "a" "t" "a" "e" "r" "o" "a" "c" "a" "t" "a" "e" "r" "o" "a"]
]
afsanehsamim
is there anyone who can help me ??
i compare each field of tables with each other like :insert db["select data.oneone,data1.oneone from data LEFT JOIN data1 ON data.oneone=data1.oneone"]
results: copy db
probe results
insert db["select data.onetwo,data1.onetwo from data LEFT JOIN data1 ON data.onetwo=data1.onetwo"]
results: copy db
probe results
insert db["select data.onethree,data1.onethree from data LEFT JOIN data1 ON data.onethree=data1.onethree"]
results: copy db
probe results .....
i got result
i need codes for showing message to user ,it mean after each joining ,it should show user that  value  is correct or no
afsanehsamim
guys ! could you plz tell me after comparing values of two tables how can we show the output on web page?
