' In A Dynamic Select String?
Apr 12, 2005
I'm building a select string on the fly based on criteria selected by the user. The user is given a data grid with Names and Check Boxes, where they can select multiple names and then either print those selections, or download them to excel. Everything is working fine, except when the Name has an ' in it. For example O'Kelly or St. John's. I know I can take all the 's out of the database, but I'd rather keep the data authentic. Is there a way to manipulate a select string built on the fly accounting for an embedded '?
For example, I build Select * from table where Name IN ('Smith', 'Jones', 'Jordan', 'Bird', 'O'Kelly').... the ' in O'Kelly ends my string and my sql statement blows up.
Any ideas?
Sample Code:<code> For Each SelectedIndex In rsc.SelectedIndexes Counter=Counter + 1 dgAssociates.SelectedIndex = SelectedIndex If Counter = 1 then SelectString = "Select * from Associate_Table where AssociateID IN ('" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" Else SelectString &= ",'" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" End If Next If Counter > 0 then SelectString &= ")" End If</code>

I need to write a SQL String to retrieve a field value from a table. The problem is that I need to supply the table name as a parameter. If I was just updating a table, I could build a dynamic SQL String and use Exec()
This is what I would write if the name of the table was known:
Select @RecordNo = MAx([VehicleID]) from Alto
This is what my dynamic SQl string looks like:
Select @SqlStatement = 'Select Max([VehicleID]) from ' + @TableName
So how do I run this statement and get the value it would return? Is there an equivalent to exec() that returns a value?

Hello,
I'm trying to build a dynamic SQL string in the following
SP, but the ' and "" character gives me trouble regarding
the @strPosition. Position could be A,B,C etc. All kinds of
suggestions are very welcome!
Regards,
Abrazame
CREATE PROCEDURE spEstateList
@PositionID nvarchar(1)=NULL
AS
DECLARE @strPosition nvarchar(20),
@strSQL nvarchar(500)
/* Build WHERE-string */
--Position
IF @PositionID IS NULL
SELECT @strPosition = '1=1'
ELSE
SELECT @strPosition = 'tblEstate.Position=' +@PositionID
/* Build complete SQL-string */
SELECT @strSQL = 'SELECT *
FROM tblEstate
WHERE ' +@strPosition + '
ORDER BY EstateID'
/* Execute SQL string.*/
EXEC sp_executesql @strSQL

I have the following data in a table;
Create Table #Table (Column1 Varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO #Table
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 100, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 10, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param1 = 100000, @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
Select * from #Table
I want to get rid of @Param1 in every row of the table so my final results look like this.
Create Table #FinalTable (Column1 Varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO #FinalTable
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
UNION ALL
Select 'Execute Procedure @param2 = 1000, @param3 = ''longtext'' '
Select * from #FinalTable
The tricky part is that the @param1 value length varies so a straight forward substring or replace function won't work.

We were able to use a dynamic connection string in the report designer, but once we deployed to the report server we are getting the following error:
Error during processing of the ConnectString expression of datasource €˜Dynam€™. Has anyone experienced this, and how did you fix it?

Our Reporting Services environment uses Oracle as the data source. Based upon the user connecting to the database determines what rows they will see for various tables. How can we dynamically pass the username/password to the connection string? Background: Our users log into Active Directory and are assigned to a group. The AD group name is used to access a control table in Oracle that contains the database username/password for that group€™s connection to Oracle. All subsequent connections to Oracle will use the group€™s username/password from the control table. We have an ASP.NET application that works like this and stores the connection information in the session state. How can we do something similar with our connection in Reporting Services? Note: Our Oracle Database does not use Windows Integration.

I need to be able to deploy my updated website to many customers on a monthly basis and dont want to be mucking around changing the connection strings each time. Some of my web servers have multiple copies of my site and DB so each website will need a different connection string.
The simplest method I could come up with is to use the Application Name field in IIS as it doesn't get overwritten by Visual Studio when I deploy the site.
I am trying to write some code to dynamically change the connection string in the web config but cannot find any way of reading the Application Name field in IIS to use in altering the connection string. I'm using the Global.asax file to change the connection string before the DB gets called.
I had tried embedding the DB in the website folder but it would overwrite the customers database.

I'm constructing a SQL string that needs single quotes in the WHERE clause. How do I encapsulate them in a string variable. I looked into ESCAPE and SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, but i don't really see any examples using string Concatenation. I'm trying to filter out the zls (0 length strings)
This doesn't work (all single quotes):
@sqlString = ' SELECT * FROM myTbl '
@sqlString = @sqlString + 'WHERE fld1 <>'' '
Thanks,
Carl

i have successfully implemented a dynamic connection string based on a dropdown list of environments (dev, test, prod). it works well during testing in the vs2005 ide; but once i deploy it to the rs server, it complains that the credentials are not stored in the rs server database and won't run the report.
as in most large organizations, the developers do not have control over the rs server, so i cannot manipulate rs config or web config files on the server side; so, how do i get past this obstacle?
thanks in advance

This method has worked beautifully for all my SSIS pkgs thus far.
Basically, I use a Script Task to derive the name of the newest file in a local directory. Then I save the name of the file to user a user variable, e.g. User::File.
Then, in my flat file properties > Expressions, I set "ConnectionString" to reference User::File.
However, when attempting to use this method with an Excel source, I get this error message:
Error at myPkg [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database connection manager.
Error at myPkg: The result of the expression "@[User::Folder]+ @[User::File]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
HELP......... I need this to work!
Thanks

I am writing dynamic sql to create a work table. I would like to format my create script such that the data types are all lined up, rather than one space behind the column name. I tried something like this:
SELECT @SQL2 = COALESCE(@SQL2,'')
+ ' ,' + p.Attribute + (60 - LEN(P.Attribute)) * CHAR(32)+ 'NUMERIC(12,3)' + CHAR(10)
That is, I was trying to put the data type 60 spaces to the right, no matter how long the column name is (as long as it's less than 60 characters). I kept getting an error telling me it couldn't concatenate a character to an int.

I have a table with the following data;
CREATE TABLE #Tab (Data Varchar(100))
INSERT INTO #Tab (Data)
Select 'Apple=5,Orange=10,Banana=11' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple=10,Orange=1033,Banana=0' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple = 120,Orange = 1,Banana = 112'
Select * from #Tab
How do I replace every value before the '=' but leave the comma.
Here is what the final output should look like
CREATE TABLE #TabFinal (Data Varchar(100))
INSERT INTO #TabFinal (Data)
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana'
Select * from #TabFinal

HiI'm grateful for any light you can shed on this!!I've to admit, it's an unusual design but I've multiple contact tables namede.g. i2b_ash_contact or i2b_ted_contact.'i2b_' and '_contact' are static but the middle part is dynamic.Storing all contacts in one table with an identifier of e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'for each record is not possible.Returning the value from the dynamic Query is no problem but I don't knowhow to assign it to a variable.When I try doing this it either runs into problems with evaluating thevariables or doesn't retuen anything at all e.g. if I say at the end 'Print@AddressID'. The variable remains empty.How can I do something like:DECLARE@AddressID int,@ProgClient (varchar(10),@Table varchar(10)Note: @Prog is a string e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'SET @Table = 'i2b_ + @ProgClient + '_contactSET @AddressID = (SELECT AddressID FROM @Table WHERE ContactID = @ContactID)

I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
Let me know if you have any ideas - thanks.

Hi, I'm a newbie to SSRS, and was wondering if anybody can shed light on a problem I have. I have a report which every client uses, but each client's data is held in its own database. Rather than create many reports, is it possible to create 1 report, which all can use, passing in the different datasource? I was thinking of a hidden parameter, passed by URL. Or maybe using the report viewer control in VS2005. Can anybody please help?
Thanks

I'm trying to setup a dynamic ole db connection using the SA user ID, it has to be dynamic because the server name will change and it has to be SA because we're pulling information from system databases that some users don't have access to.
If I setup a regular static connection using SA credentials it works like a charm of course. When I create an expression to use the User:erver variable it doesn't work, it throws an error message saying that "The login failed for user sa" among other things, I'm thiking that the sa's password is not being saved.
Where exactly do I place a password for dynamic connections using sql server users? On the connection string? On the password property of the source? Any ideas?

I am facing a reporting service issue.
System information:
1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server.
2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots.
3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario:
We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions:
1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well?
2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info
The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?

Hello.
I have packages that must generate log errors dynamically including time of execution and the name of the task.
I make it changing the properties of the connection inserting two expressions.
1.-I alter the File Usage Type to 1 to generate this files.
2.- I alter the connection string as: @[User::myvariable] +"constant_description"+ time description+ +".txt"
The time description is :
(DT_STR,40,1252) DAY (GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) MONTH( GETDATE())+"-"+(DT_STR,40,1252) YEAR( GETDATE())+" + REPLACE( (DT_STR,10,1252) (DT_DBTIME) GETDATE(),":","_")
But it is not the problem
In those packages I have one connector for all the tasks and in execution time it creates one file for each of the tasks.
The problem is the way I insert in the filename the task name.
I have a pre-execute event handler in each task that modifies a string variable( myvariable) appending the task name. When I execute de package it works great but when I only execute a task, the program do not enter in the event and do not put the task’s name.
How can I put that name without using that handler? There is another handler can I use to do it that happens before the system generates the new file name and after pre-execute? Anyone knows another way to do this kind of things?
