I have sql code that returns the correct number of record when run without an aggregate function like count(myfield) and group by myfield. It always returns 86 row which is correct when Select DISTINCT is used. As, expected when DISTINCT is not used I get double the number if rows or 172. But when I count(myfield) and group by myfield the count is 172 and not 86. The strangest thing about this is that when I am grouping a set of items
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
The other group sum up correctly while others don't. What can explain this? Here is the code.
Select DISTINCT ws.p4Districtnumber, ws.cycle, ws.worksetid, count(msi.MeterSessionInputKey) as ASND from fcs.dbo.WorkSet as ws left outer join fcs.dbo.WorkAssignment as wa on ws.WorkSetID = wa.WorkSetID left outer join fcs.dbo.MeterSessionInput as msi on wa.worksetkey = msi.worksetkey
I am TRYING to write code to combine two tables and then return the maximum value of one table, but SQL Server keeps telling me that the column is not valid.... I have added attached screenshots to show that it IS a valid column, so I cannot figure out what is the retarded issue!!
I have a package that I have been attempting to return a error code after the stored procedure executes, otherwise the package works great.
I call the stored procedure from a Execute SQL Task (execute Marketing_extract_history_load_test ?, ? OUTPUT) The sql task rowset is set to NONE. It is a OLEB connection.
I have two parameters mapped:
tablename input varchar 0 (this variable is set earlier in a foreach loop) ADO. returnvalue output long 1
I set the breakpoint and see the values change, but I have a OnFailure conditon set if it returns a failure. The failure is ignored and the package completes. No quite what I wanted.
The first part of the sp is below and I set the value @i and return.
Why is it not capturing and setting the error and execute my OnFailure code? I have tried setting one of my parameter mappings to returnvalue with no success.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to do this....I have a table that is a many to many relationship between userID's and courseID's. for instance (example data for each row - dont let the spaces between rows throw you off I am just adding them to seperate the different users)userID = 1, courseID = 1userID = 1, courseID = 2userID = 1, courseID = 3userID = 2, courseID = 1userID = 2, courseID = 3userID = 3, courseID = 1userID = 3, courseID = 2userID = 3, courseID = 3I want to be able to check for a number so in this case "2" which I would like to return all users who do not have a courseID = 2. In the example above the query would return the user with the userID of 2.Any help in how I should go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Is there a function I can use? I apologize I am extremely new to SQL
Hi, I have a stored procedure attached below. It returns 2 rows in the SQL Management studio when I execute MyStorProc 0,28. But in my program which uses ADOHelper, it returns a dataset with tables.count=0. if I comment out the line --If @Status = 0 then it returns the rows. Obviously it does not stop in if @Status=0 even if I pass @status=0. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyStorProc]
(
@Status smallint,
@RowCount int = NULL,
@FacilityId numeric(10,0) = NULL,
@QueueID numeric (10,0)= NULL,
@VendorId numeric(10, 0) = NULL
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF
If @Status = 0
BEGIN
SELECT ...... END If @Status = 1 BEGIN SELECT...... END
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.
I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :
Can Somebody please show me how to acheive this, using the order details in Northwinddatabase or any other good example. as much details as possible. Many Thanks!
I have a table which I need to analyze, what jobs this is working with, what stored procedure is calling this table etc. Is there any built-in function to show me or anybody know how to do it? This is my new job, and there are hundreds of stored procedures and jobs, do i really have to go thru one by one?
I am trying to write a function for some source to make a call out to and fill a RadioButtonList. I am running into a few problems though that I need assistance on. (I am new to DataSets) Here is the function to fill the RBL: 1 Private Function GetDataSet(ByVal QuestionID As Integer, ByVal QuestionType As Integer, ByVal LocaleID As Integer, ByVal GroupingNum As Integer) As DataSet 2 Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString").ConnectionString) 3 Dim cmd As New SqlCommand 4 cmd.CommandText = "usp_responses_sel" 5 cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure 6 7 ' Fill usp_ with Parameters 8 cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("QuestionID", QuestionID) 9 cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("LocaleID", LocaleID) 10 cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("GroupingNum", GroupingNum) 11 12 Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter 13 da.SelectCommand = cmd 14 Dim ds As New DataSet 15 da.Fill(ds, "response") 16 Return ds 17 End Function
So my issue is with line 15 [da.Fill(ds, "response")]. I pulled this function from somewhere else and am trying to tailor it to my needs. However, I do not understand what I need to do with this line and it keeps bombing out. I thought this references the DB Table but in my case, the SP has several tables joined together. Is this how I reference it from the calling source code? Please assist. Also, I am having problems understanding the binding process from the calling source. Here is my code that calls the function:1 Dim ds As DataSet = GetDataSet(CType(e.Item.DataItem("question_id").ToString, Integer), QuestionTypeID.Value, intLocale, 2) 2 rblResponses2.DataSource = ds 3 rblResponses2.DataBind()
What do I need to do with it from here and how can I work with it after it's bound? Thanks
Hi thereI have the following two tablesmainprofile (profile varchar(20), description)accprofile (profile varchar(20), acct_type int)Sample data could bemainprofile----------------prof1 | profile oneprof2 | profile twoprof3 | profile threeaccprofile--------------prof1 | 0prof1 | 1prof1 | 2prof2 | 0Now doing a join between these two tables would return multiple rows,but I would like to know whether it would be possible to returnacct_type horizontally in a column of the result set, e.g.prof1 | profile one | [0,1,2]prof2 | profile two | [0]I could probably manage this with cursors, but it would be veryresource intensive. Is there a better way?Regards,Louis
Hi I really need your help. I’ve got a table with 4 columns – username (a string of text), dateTime (a date and time), duration (time in minutes), roomID (URL). I really need some help with writing up some code behind to check if a user has permission to continue. I’ve got the first bit, but I need help with collecting the data and testing it: SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Global.ConnectionString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from tblActiveSession where Username=@Username", conn); SqlParameter paraUsername = cmd.Parameters.Add("@Username", SqlDbType.NVarChar); paraUsername.Value = this.txtUsername.Text; try { conn.Open() This is where I need the help. What I need is to test each row against the following: If now() is within the allowed time frame – greater than dateTime, but less than dateTime + duration, then break the loop and redirect to roomID. I really hope this makes sence, and I’m greatful for any help. Many thanksRichard
Is there any better way to debug a query encased in IIF statements thanto find bugs at runtime? I have an especially ugly CommandText for oneof my datasets, and debugging it when there is an error is nearlyimpossible. I realize that it's much cleaner when you have straightSQL, but otherwise the tool doesn't seem to be very user-friendly.Thanks,Mike
I would like to know what the best method of handling a rather large record selection task.

What I trying to figure out is how to incorporate the above in the dataset filter area on the datagrid.
I have the following stored procedure for SQL Server 2000: SELECT a.firstName, a.lastName, a.emailfrom tbluseraccount ainner join tblUserRoles U on u.userid = a.useridand u.roleid = 'projLead' Now, this is not returning anything for my dataset. What needs to be added?Here is the code behind:Dim DS As New DataSetDim sqlAdpt As New SqlDataAdapterDim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(DBconn.CONN_STRING)Dim Command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("myStoredProcdureName", conn)Command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedureCommand.Connection = connsqlAdpt.SelectCommand = CommandsqlAdpt.Fill(DS) Then I should have the dataset, but it's empty.Thanks all,Zath
I'm not sure if anybody else is having a problem with the Return Value of Stored Procedures where you get the "Specified cast not valid" error, but I think I found a "bug" in VS2005 that prevents you from having a return value other than Int64 datatype. I tried to look for the solution for myself on the forums but unfortunately I just couldn't find it. Hopefully, this will help out anyone who had come across the same problem. Basically, I have a stored procedure that I wanted to call as an Update for my ObjectDataSource that returns a Money value. Everytime I do this, I keep getting that error saying "Specified cast not valid" even when I try to change the @RETURN_VALUE data type to Currency or Money. After a long session of eye gouging moments, I decided to look at the code for my dataset. There, I noticed that the ScalarCallRetval for my StoredProcedure query was still set to System.Int64. I changed it to System.Object and, like a miracle, everything works like its suppose to. Ex. protected void SomeObjectDataSource_Updated(object sender, ObjectDataSourceStatusEventArgs e) {GrandTotalLabel.Text = ((decimal)e.ReturnValue).ToString("C"); }
hi,I have a page Price List with GridView to display only two columns of a table (Product name & price). Page size=20. I use SqlDataSource for it. <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" DataSourceMode="DataSet"In my case the SqlDataSource control return data as a DataSet object. So the DataSet object contains all the data in server memory. I need to create Print Preview page with other columns (Product name & price & Vendor and Date Issue) without paging.I'm going to save dataSet in Session and in Print Preview page use it as datasource (without having to run another query).But I have no idea how to save this DataSet in Session. I don't know the DataSet Name. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have a great deal of experience in Intrebase Stored Procedures, and there I had the FOR SELECT statement to loop through a recordset, and return the records I wish (or to make any other calculations in the loop). I'm new in MS SQL Stored Procedures, and I try to achieve the same if possible. Below is a Stored Procedure written for MS SQL, which returns me a calculated field for every record from a table, but it places different values in the calculated field. Everything is working fine, except that I receive back as many datasets as many records I have in the Guests table. I would like to get back the same info, but in one dataset:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetVal AS
Declare @fname varchar(50) Declare @lname varchar(50) Declare @grname varchar(100) Declare @isgroup int Declare @id int Declare @ListName varchar(200)
DECLARE guests_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT id, fname, lname, grname, b_isgroup FROM guests
OPEN guests_cursor
-- Perform the first fetch. FETCH NEXT FROM guests_cursor into @id, @fname, @lname, @grname, @isgroup
-- Check @@FETCH_STATUS to see if there are any more rows to fetch. WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS =0 BEGIN if (@isgroup=1) Select @grname+'('+@lname+', '+@fname+')' as ListName else Select @lname+', '+@fname as ListName -- This is executed as long as the previous fetch succeeds. FETCH NEXT FROM guests_cursor into @id, @fname, @lname, @grname, @isgroup
I am trying to create a query to return the latest record from a dataset. The code created so far returns multiple records, where I need a single record to be returned.
Hi I'm modifying a report from MS CRM. Sales Pipeline. Not the easiest one but still. I just got to the drilldown report and need to change some things in it. I tested the SQL code as I could in SQL Server Management Studio so that I don't have any misspellings (the report I'm modifying is on a remote location). Anyway, now that I copy my code to the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and to the dataset I'm modyfing I see that a chunk of code from the bottom is missing ... ??? ... is there a limit on how much I can type?!
I counted in Word that I have 33.176 characters and 878 lines of code. Is that to much?! The original report has a dataset of 27.529 characters and 724 lines of SQL code.
For setting different languages on the column haeders i need to access a dataset from a custom code function call. I want to pass a parameter to the function that will allow me to find a specific item in the dataset - like a lookup function. I cannot find a way to get access to the entire dataset and to iterate through its components.
Is there any solution? Every hint will be helpful!

Hi All, I have written a stored procedure that has a return value (OUTPUT Parameter) and was wondering if there is any way to retreive this value in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005? I get the result fine, but cannot figure out how to get the return parameter.
I have dataadapter and dataset that reads/writes to SQL tables. I can read. I can create "new" records. However, I have not been able to master the "updating" of an existing row. Can someone provide me specific code for doing this please or tell me what I doing wrong in the code below. The code I using is below. I don't get error, but changes do not get written to SQL dbase. For starters, I think I "not" supposed to use the 2nd line(....NewRow). I think this is only for new row, not updating of existing row - but I don't know any other way to get schema of row. thanks to any who can help
Hi I wonder if it is possible to create a dataset in code and then feed it to a Reporting Svcs (RS) report and have it rendered on the data from this dataset. My collegues does this with Crystal and it would break my heart if I cant do this with (RS)... I have tried to find a solution but so far, no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
I have a SP that return a dataset and I was thinking to execute that SP inside of other SP then catch the dataset to put into a variable or put into a temp table. What I know is you can not use recordset on output and input parameter in SP correct me if im wrong. I'm just wondering if I there is a work around in this scenario.
Is there a way to return the fields collection of a dataset using the Reporting services Web Service? I can get to the reports but not the datasets. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide.
