Automating Report Execution - Saving To Separate Files
Sep 20, 2007
I'm trying to do something which I hope can be accomplished relatively simply.
I have a report similar to bank statements let's say. When run, it currently prints out each person's statement into one file, with page breaks sepearating each person's statement. What I need to do, is when the report is run, save each person's report into a seperate file for the purpose of emailing to them later.
I could easily modify my report to just output for one particular person, but I'm not sure if there's a way to "bulk render" all the reports and have them saved to sepearate files.
I should also add that I'm using an MS Access Data Project (ADP) as the front end to my app - connected to a SQL Server 2005 DB. I currently display the reports by embedding a web browser object into an Access form and rendering the report via HTML.
Thanks in advance,
H

Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!

1) Is it possible to run stored procedures at specified intervals without
using the job system (through T-SQL)? I want the schedule to be
independent of the MSDB database in case of temporary failures, etc.
2) Would extended stored procedures be helpful in this scenario?
Thanks

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

I nabbed a couple from some recent installs I did, and, assuming I can get my SAN guy to always give drives the same letter assignment, it looks fairly useful.
There's still a bunch of additional stuff to do, like turn on instant file initialization, size/create additional tempdb files, and set up alerts and database mail, etc.
Can the configuration file be expanded to handle any of that? Do you use something else to template/automate your SQL installs? The more I do it, the less I want to keep doing it.

Hi everybody,
On the time of installation SQL Server asking me where I wont to locate the DATA files and the PROGRAM files. It’s giving to me choice to put database AND log files on one disk and program files on separate. But what about to separate LOG and DATA files. I have RAID1 especially created on F: drive for LOG files and RAID 5 on E: for DATABASE files. When I have to separate that if not on the time of installation? How I can do that?
Thanks,
Miriam

I want to save every query executed from a given software, let's say Multi Script for example, and save in a table query text, execution time and rows count among other possible useful information. Right now I've created a sp and a job that runs every 1 milliseconds but I can't figure out how to get execution time and rows count. Another problem with this is that if the query takes too long I end up with several rows in my table.

Appreciate your advice!

Hi all,
I receive data via FTP to our webserver nightly as .txt files and .dic (if anybody is familiar with idx realtor websites, that's what this data is).
I've learned recently that I'm not going to be able to use Access to import or link to this data, so I'm trying to get my feet wet with SQL.
I have been practicing importing text files into SQL db, but I notice that the dts imports everything as varchar 8000, and that you can edit that. I've got a .dic file that accompanies every .txt file that contains definitions of each fieldname, fieldtype & length & I was wondering how to import that data as well, without having to manually retype everything.
I would be happy to email these text files to anybody willing to take a look.
Thanks,
Carrie

Hi,
I'm making backups of the database by first making a full backup and then differential backups. The differentials are backed up to separate files.
Restore of the full backup works fine, but I can't restore a differential backup. In Management Studio Express, I first do a full backup restore with option NO RECOVERY and then try to restore a differential backup. But this failes with the message:
"This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state."
Is it possible to restore a differential backup that is backed up to a separate file?

has anyone got any opinions on the pros/cons of storing mp3 files in the database instead of the file system ?
How could this be done ? Would it be a binary data type ?

Hello there,
I was thinking about saving some files in a SQL Server DB and then reading those back to the client for download. Any warnings that I should know about before doing so? The files will generally be at most 2mb in probably .pdf format. I've heard bad things about doing this in Access...but then again, SQL Server isn't access.

We just upgraded from SQL 2000 to 2005. Under 2000, I could export multiple stored procs to separate windows files.
Is there a way to do this under 2005 without exporting 1 proc at a time?

When saving a report in Report Builder the default users folder is displayed when save is first clicked. However the user can navigate to any folder from the root on down.
Is there anyway to only allow the user to access their "My Report" folder and not navigate to other folders?
Users are currently placed in a Windows Group. The windoes group is given System User and My Reports roles.

Someone:
I have the need to upload a file via a webpage and then save that file into the database. I would also like to retrieve it and show it to the user.
Can someone show me an example of how this should be done. Also I am concerned of the pros and cons of saving files in the database. Is there a performance hit on the server? Will it make the database unstable? Has anyone had problems doing this?
Any suggestions, samples, and/or help are welcome.

I have a master table containing details of over 800000 surveys made up of approximately 400 distinct document names and versions. Each document can have as few as 10 questions but as many as 150. Each question represents one row.
My challenge is to create a separate spreadsheet for each of the 400 distinct document names and versions containing all the rows and columns present in the master table. The largest number of rows would be around 150 and therefore each spreadsheet will not be very big.
e.g. in my sample data below, i will need to create individual Excel files named as follows . . .
"Document1Version1.xlsx" containing all the column names and 6 rows for the 6 questions relating to Document 1 version 1
"Document1Version2.xlsx" containing all the column names and 8 rows for the 8 questions relating to Document 1 version 2
"Document2Version1.xlsx" containing all the column names and 4 rows for the 4 questions relating to Document 2 version 1
I assume that one of the first things is to create a lookup of the distinct document names and versions assign some variables and then use this lookup to loop through and sequentially filter the master table data ready for creating the individual Excel files.
--CREATE TEMP TABLE FOR EXAMPLE
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#excelTest') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #excelTest
CREATE TABLE #excelTest (
[rowID] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[docName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[Code] .....
--Output
rowIDdocNamedocVersionquestionblankField
1document11q1NULL
2document11q2NULL
3document11q3NULL
4document11q4NULL
5document11q5NULL
6document11q6NULL
[Code] .....

We have multiple databases on a single instance in an OLTP environment. I have my data files on a separate SAN LUN from my transaction log files (and a few NDFs split out onto additional LUNs). I was wondering if there is a performance benefit to putting each LDF file on its own LUN? Or at least my few busiest LDFs?
We are currently on 2012, but I'm having to put together specs for a 2014 installation and need to answer this question without having an environment in which I can benchmark different setups. I just want to hear whether or not others have done this (why or why not?).

I€™ve created with the help of some great people an SSIS 2005 package which does the follow so far:
1) Takes an incoming txt file. Example txt file: http://www.webfound.net/split.txt
The txt file going from top to bottom is sort of grouped like this
Header Row (designated by €˜HD€™)
Corresponding Detail Rows for the Header Row
€¦..
Next Header Row
Corresponding Detail Rows
€¦and so on
http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg
2) Header Rows are split into one table, Maintenance Detail Rows into another, and Payment Detail Rows into a third table. A uniqueID has been created for each header and it€™s related detail rows to form a PK/FK relationship as there was non prior to the import, only the relation was in order of header / related rows below it when we first started. The reason I split this out is so I can massage it later with stored proc filters, whatever€¦
Now I€™m trying to somehow bring back the data in those table together like it was initially using a query so that I can cut out each of the Header / Detail Row sections into their own txt file. So, if you look at the original txt file, each new header and it€™s related detail rows (example of a cut piece would be http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg) need to be cut out and put into their own separate txt file.
This is where I€™m stuck. How to create a query to combine it all back into an OLE DB Souce component, then somehow read that souce and split out the sections into their own individual txt files.
The filenames of the txt files will vary and be based on one of the column values already in the header table.
Here is a print screen of my package so far:
http://www.webfound.net/tasks.jpg
http://www.webfound.net/Import_MaintenanceFile_Task_components.jpg
http://www.webfound.net/DataFlow_Task_components.jpg
Let me know if you need more info. Examples of the actual data in the tables are here:
http://www.webfound.net/mnt_headerRows.txt
http://www.webfound.net/mnt_MaintenanceRows.txt
http://www.webfound.net/mnt_PaymentRows.txt
Here's a print screen of the table schema:

Can someone provide information or a link to information regarding the pros and cons of saving files directly into a SQL 2005 database?
I'm actually for saving files to a database (cleaner implementation then just saving the location then having to get the file, etc), but my project manager is not convinced so I need to make an argument for (or against depending on what I actually find out) using varbinary data type.
Thanks.

I am testing out a blank database created over two physical files on two separate disks with one table called data which has one column called values nvarchar(max).
I filled the table up with a whole load of data and ran a select * against it. If I run Permon at the same time I can see that the read load has been spread over multiple disks as each of these disks is getting read from in parallel. If I create the same database on a single file and run the same select * again it takes much longer, proving that the read load has been distributed across multiple disks.
Now moving onto writes, this is where the confusion lies. I understand that SQL server fills files evenly until they need growing, after which it will then fill files individually until they are full in a round robin fashion unless you have trace 1117 turned on. What I don't understand is why the writes aren't distributed out whilst it is filling these file groups.
I ran an continual insert into my table with go 1000000 to monitor how the files are being filled up. I monitored where SQL server was physically placing the files as they were being inserted by running the following query:
;WITH CTE AS
(SELECT
sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%) col1,
RIGHT(LEFT(sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%),2),1) AS [Physical RID],
DATAID
[Code] ....
I could see that it would a thousand or so records into file 1, then a thousand or so into file 2, then a thousand or so into file 1 etc etc. In another words it would hit one disk, then another disk, then back to disk one to fill the file evenly. Is there any way to make SQL Server distribute the writes out in parallel so that both disks are writing in tandem?
By the looks of it, multiple disks only scale reads, as with writes only one disk is ever written to at once which is annoying. Any way to harness the write power of multiple disks?

Hello,
I want to have my report in SSRS run automatically (I believe with the subscription mode) so it generates a PDF file every night. The problem is when it saves the PDF file, it is named the same as the report name. I need a unique report name with each night. It can be part of the date or whatever. Does anyone know how to set this?
Thanks,
Warren

I used Report Builder to create a report then I saved it. The report does NOT appear in my Shared Reports folder in Report Manager. However, if I go back into Report Builder and hit "open" the report defintion is saved and I can open and run it in Report Builder.
Why can't I run it from Report Manager?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm encounter lately some weird behaviour of SSRS in BIDS as well as after deploying on Reporting Server.
I'm running basic classical SQL SSRS Reports with Oracle DB connection. My reports have header and footer pagination and well defined report layer configuration. All the reports are simple based on one table and some basic parameters passed to query.
In query builder from BIDS from data tab, the query is running fine without any other execution delays. Also the query is runnign fine in PL/Dev environment.
When I switch in "Preview" mode the report hangs in execution and just showing "Report is being generated" without any resuts. After a while is generating an execution error (after 20 min).
The behaviour is the same after deployment on Report Server .
I now...here it comes...the problem is intermitent...some times the report is working...but most of the times it hangs on execution.
I checked the report from top to bottom and nothing's wrong from design perspective.
On other reports I don't have this problem and I don't understand where to start to investigate.
Any suggestions...I'm stuck here.
Thanks

I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings?
Please advise. Many thanks.

Hi All,
Don't think this can be done, but a user request, so thought I should ask anyway...
I have report with 11 filters (yes, I know thats overkill, but we aren't using analysis services) and the user has asked, if he wants to run it with the same selection criteria every month, can he do that without having to re-select them all?
Using RS 2000
thanx,
