I have a boolean parameter on my report that the user will enter. Currently, it shows as an option button with True/False beside each option as the words used. Is it possible to have a check box instead of an option button for the user instead?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
@Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS
BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
What is wrong? What I forgot??
Thankx for any help!

I have tested the following code, and it works for me:
DECLARE @XML XML
SET @XML = '
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="XCFVGBF" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="10" sort="0" />
</data>
</DocumentElement>'
SELECT SUM(x.qty * ISNULL(p.price_mn,0))
FROM (SELECT [Code] = A.A.value('@code','varchar(20)'),
[Qty] = A.A.value('@quantity','INT')
FROM @xml.nodes('/DocumentElement/data/item') AS A(A)) X
LEFT JOIN productprice_t P ON p.code_id = x.code
The question is, how can I do this if the XML is in a different format & doesn't use any attributes?
So it looks like this (which I'm getting from an ADO.Net datatable using .WriteXML):
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<mercurycode>XCDFEG</mercurycode>
<quantity>2</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>10</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
</DocumentElement>
I am quite new to SSRS and am having some difficulties in trying to develop a new report via Business Intelligence Studio based on a stored procedure which requires the input of 1 parameter, and also has an optional parameter which I default to NULL in the sproc.
When I create my dataset I select the given sproc I want and when I attempt to execute it, I am prompted for the parameters the sproc expects.
However, when I enter a value in the dialog for the required Parameter I get a SQL error indicating that the parameter the sproc expects was not supplied. I have profiled the call and see the attempt to execute the sproc, but no parameter value.
Can some one tell me why the value I enter is not being passed to the sproc in my database ? Is there some special syntax that I need to use ?
I have scanned a number of sites & through the books I have and can't find anything on this. From what I have read, when I exec my sproc the parameters get recongnized & I can just enter my values. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated !!!
Thanks.
I have a requirement where, I need to get the value of parameter from a query string of url and use it in my report.
Ex:- http://www.mysite.com?name=bobby
From the above url, I have to take the value of name and be able to use it in my report query or assign to a parameter.
Please let me know, how can I acheive this.
I am trying to pass multiple values as parameters into my update command:UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = 102 WHERE ((EmployeeNumber IN (@selectedusersparam)));I develop my parameter (@selectedusersparam) using the following subroutine: Private Sub btnAddUsersToDeployment_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddUsersToDeployment.ClickDim iVal As Integer = 0Dim SelectedCollection As StringSelectedCollection = ""If (lsbUsersAvail.Items).Count > 1 ThenFor iVal = 0 To lsbUsersAvail.Items.Count - 1If lsbUsersAvail.Items(iVal).Selected = True ThenSelectedCollection = SelectedCollection & "," & lsbUsersAvail.Items(iVal).ValueEnd IfNextSelectedCollection = Mid(SelectedCollection, 2, Len(SelectedCollection))Session.Item("SelectedCollectionSession") = SelectedCollectionSqlDataSource4.Update()ltlUsersMessage.Text = String.Empty 'UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = @DeploymentNameIDparam WHERE (EmployeeNumber IN (@selectedusersparam))'SqlDataSource4.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = @DeploymentNameIDparam WHERE (EmployeeNumber IN (" + SelectedCollection + ")"ElseltlUsersMessage.Text = "Select users before adding to deployment. Hold Control for multiselect"End IfEnd SubFor some reason the query does not pass the parameters which are "21077679,22648722,22652940,21080617" into the queryI don't understand why.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using two drop downs, like so:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ChurchStateDrop" runat="server" DataSourceID="ChurchStateDropData" DataTextField="State" DataValueField="State" AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="ChurchStateDrop_SelectedIndexChanged" AppendDataBoundItems="True"> <asp:ListItem Value="?????"

Selected="True" Text="All Cities" /></asp:DropDownList>
I have ????? in the value fields because I don't know what value needs to be passed to negate filtering (to choose all). The Dropdowns have the following SQLDatasources:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ChurchStateDropData" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tceDatabaseOnlineSQLConnection %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [State] FROM [ChurchView]" DataSourceMode="DataReader"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ChurchCityDropData" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tceDatabaseOnlineSQLConnection %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [City] FROM [ChurchView] WHERE ([State] = @State)" DataSourceMode="DataReader"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ChurchStateDrop" Name="State" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
Now, lets say I wanted to pass a value to the WHERE statement in ChurchCityDropData to coincide with 'All States', what would I replace value="??????" with? Now you may think I'm crazy to do such a thing, but this actually has to do with adding a Denomination Dropdown to show Denominations from all states or all cities. I will figure out the best logic for that later, I just want to know the wildcard to pass to the parameter to choose all states (negate filtering).
I am new to sql and very familiar with access. I am using a verylarge database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to frontend it with access for reports and forms, etc..I have some questions:1) Is there a way in SQL to prompt a user for input at the running ofa query like the [what is your name] construct in an access query?2) I can't seem to create calculated fields in a view in sql. Inaccess I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be createdwhich would contain the total.3) I normally would create a form in access from which the accessqueries would pull their variables and then insert those variables inthe queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished usingsql.4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developercreate reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am usingaccess as a front end, but am open to suggestions.Thanks,Brad

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I'd think this is possible but I'm having trouble getting data returned from the query. Fields PART_NUMBER and INTERNAL_SKU exist in the SKU table. This will be inside a SP. If user passes 'PN' as first parameter then I'd need to have the WHERE clause by PART_NUMBER, if he passes 'SK' (or anything else for now) then the WHERE clause shold be by SKU.
Can't I just build the WHERE by replacing @SearchField with its value ? I've looked up the CASE statement but I don't think it does what I need.
DECLARE @strSearchType varchar(2)
DECLARE @strSearchValue varchar(15)
DECLARE @SearchField varchar(15)
set @strSearchType = 'PN'
set @strSearchValue = '1234567'
IF @strSearchType = 'PN'
begin
set @SearchField = 'PART_NUMBER'
end
ELSE
begin
set @SearchField = 'INTERNAL_SKU'
end
SELECT
SKU as 'SKU',
PART_NUMBER as 'PartNumber',
DESCRIPTION as 'Description'
FROM SKUs
WHERE @SearchField = @strSearchValue
FOR XML PATH('SKU'), ROOT('Response')

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Hi,
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity

where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end

I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error

Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

I have a procedure that calls a SVF to convert an xmldocument. The ultimate purpose is to update the xml in a column in a multi-million row table. The xml is stored as varchar(MAX), it was supposed to carry any type of text, initially at least.
My question is: why is the xml-parsing performed inside the function much slower when i pass the xmldocument as type xml than when it is passed as varchar(MAX) and the CAST to xml is within the function? Does processing the xml input parameter in SlowFunction involve expensive crossing of some context border?
The two versions of the SVF (they return the rowcount in this simplified example):
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FastFunction]
(
@inDetaljerText varchar(MAX)
)
RETURNS int
[Code] ....
The two versions of the SP
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[FastProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select
dbo.FastFunction(al.Detaljer)
