Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options

Nov 5, 2007

Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:

re: Reporting Options with SQL Server

I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:

Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?

I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?

Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.

Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?

I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

Any help is appreciated

Tool To Convert Mdf To Sql?

Nov 10, 2007

Hi all,
I downloaded the StudentActivities sample app from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345152.aspx
When I want to go through this tutorial I encounter the following problem:
Database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.Could not open new database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 950)
So attaching the DB seems to doesn't work. The reason for this is probably that this sample app src was written in an older version of Visual WebDeveloper Express 2005 +SQL Server Express 2005.
Therefore I would like if someone can provide me with the sql src of this StudentActivities database. Then I can create the database myself from this. Or is there some tool which canconvert a mdf to sql?
 I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports

Mar 27, 2008


My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:

In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).

As an example:

I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".

With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127

This will only return results within those ranges.


Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?

Thanks,

Patrick Conway

Can I Write SSRS 2008 Reports To Run On SQL 2005 SSRS?

Sep 12, 2007

Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?

If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?

I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.

The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.

Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?

Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I am creating SSRS report using Oracle DB. When i run this query in TOAD, it's giving output but when i run this in SSRS to create new dataset then it is giving me ORA -01008:not all variables bound(Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle).

This is the query iam running.

FROM dsc_transaction_status_vl ts,
dsc_user_transaction ut,
billing_markets bm,
retail_location rl,
cash_register cr
WHERE ts.transaction_status = ut.transaction_status
AND ut.cr_number = cr.cr_number
AND cr.rl_number = rl.rl_number
AND ut.RL_NUMBER = rl.RL_NUMBER
AND rl.bm_code = bm.bm_code
AND (ut.creation_date BETWEEN tartDate AND :EndDate)
AND bm.bm_name IN
(CASE (:Market)
WHEN 'OKC' THEN ('OKLAHOMA CITY' || 'TULSA')
WHEN 'NFL' THEN ( 'DAYTONA'|| 'JACKSONVILL' || 'MELBOURNE'|| 'NORTH FLORIDA'|| 'ORLANDO' || 'WEST FLORIDA' )
WHEN 'LA' THEN ('PAC Los Angeles')
WHEN 'CAR' THEN ('Carolinas')
END
)

I am passing 3 parameters: StartDate, EndDate and Market.

My Question is that

3)How can i write Stored Procedure for this query & How to execute SP in SSRS.

Please reply me. Thanks in advance.

Question: Has Anyone Written A Tool To Convert From ANSI-89 To ANSI-92 Join Syntax?

Oct 25, 2007

A question for everyone:
With the introduction of SQL 2005, we now have to use ANSI-92 T-SQL Syntax and I was wondering if anyone had written a tool to convert queries from old ANSI SQL to the new syntax.

We have some code that has to change for the outer joins, but we also have a lot of code that should change for the inner joins. It doesn't seem that difficult to write something that parses an old piece of code and at least suggests a new version. Especially if the conversion code wasn't SQL code.

Thanks, in advance,
Brian

How To Stop SSRS Reports Subscriptions

Mar 11, 2008



We have 7 SSRS reports subscription which execute every night at various time intervals.



Some times, due to database unavailability subscriptions can not access the source database, so these subscriptions continuously try to connect the database. (Even after setting connection time out.)



When the database is up again, all these subscriptions create bottleneck for the database and the whole system crashes.



So we want to stop subscriptions after some time interval (lets say 2 hours after it starts),

After that time interval what ever may be the status of the subscription (processing, done or fail) it should stop.



Please let me know the solution, Thanks in advance.

Is there any tool that I can use fot this purpose?
I used RSScripter from SQLdbatips.com. Although the tool works great but it

a big problem.

Comparision Of SSRS With Crystal Reports

Apr 23, 2008


1) Crystal Reports provides extensive parameter support. The types of parameters supported are: single value, multi-value, and range value (e.g. Start date to End date), or a combination of all three.
2) SSRS parameters only support entry of a single value. It doesn't support multi-value parameters or range parameters. For example, the user can't be presented with a list of Employees and select more than one for reporting on. Doing so requires writing custom code and writing more complex SQL queries
