Is it possible to have spacing within a column name? Something like
"column name." I can do it from EM but won't let me do it in query
analyzer. Can someone tell me the command to do this in query
analyzer? Thanks!
Hi,
I'm developing a report at the moment that uses a sub report twice on the same report (legal legislation type of thing, requires information to be displayed twice.). In the first location the one column is heavily spaced to the right (though not designed this way), causing a new blank page to be created when exporting, but at the other location (on the same report, same data), the spacing is normal. What could be causing this?
Thanks,
I have visual studio 2005 with XP home. I'm trying to find out which service pack my SQL server is running as I've been told that Service pack 2 has a few bugs.
For example ADO Applications Report a Syntax Error When Column Names Contain Spaces. This appears to be an error i am recieving. I just wanted to confirm that it is a microsoft bug rather then something Im doing wrong.
Microsoft meantions the bug here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264687
I've been looking everywhere. I do not have the "query analyzer window" where you can find this out as I have VS 2005. How would I find this out.
Thank you
My CTE is failing and I don't know why...Is there a Common Table Expression column name length restriction???
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat does everyone think of this method?I have a ton of tables like User, Project etc. I use the SAME column names for each table. For an example, ID, Name, Status etc instead of UserID etc.Only for relationship naming will I use UserID.The reason I do this is from a OOP perspective.My dad often said that a table was a entitiy of an object and each record in the table was a instance of that object.

Can someone plz let me know what are the column naming rules in sql2000?
This is in ssrs 2000, so I think I'm in the right place.
I have a list and some matrices in the list that are not nearly as wide as my list is (the list needs to be wider than the matrices), and that white space is getting tacked on to the end of my matrices, resulting in an extra page. Maybe I'm just missing something, but how do I eliminate this?
Hi,
I'm using SSRS 2005 and having problem trying to set spacing for a textbox. What happen was, I have a description that would goes/expand to 3 lines depending on what user selected from the multi-value parameters. When I look-up the help, it has something like so:
To change the spacing between lines of text
In Report Builder design mode, select a text box or cell(s).
On the Format menu, select Font.
The Format dialog box opens with the Font tab selected.
In the Line spacing drop-down list, select a point size.
Click OK.
The problem is, I can't see this Line Spacing option. All I see is Bold, Italic and Underline. Am I missing some patches. Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks.
Consider a scenario, I am a DBA for the Database server where thesize of the hard disk is 100 GB. On that database server, i have theDatabase whose size is 40 GB. Also, i restrict the size of thedatabase file to 95 GB, by specifying the "maximum file size" to"Restrict file growth" option , under the "file properties".I then copied a DAT ( or some other file ) on the same database serverthat is having the size of 45 GB.Now when the Database file size increases, it will give an error notbecause of setting the "Restrict file growth" option to 95 but thereis no space on the Hard Disk.My question to you DBAs is that, how will i know that hard disk isbecoming full ? I want to get noticed when the Server's Hard Disk sizeis at some specified threshold value.Pls help in this regard.

Write a script that uses dynamic SQL to return a single column that represents the number of rows in the first table in the current database. The script should automatically choose the table that appears first alphabetically, and it should exclude tables named dtproperties and sysdiagrams.

Hint: Use the sys.tables catalog view.

I have created a drill down report, using text boxes. When the report is not drilled down, all root nodes are collapsed, the spacing is really weird between them. For

I want all the nodes to be one after each other. Thanks for any help you can provide.
I am using RS 2K5 to develop financial reports, with plenty of figures that must fit in a page.
I use tables for example. Fonts cannot be set smaller than 8pts.
I have also tried to decrease row height and to disable the "can grow to fit content" option, but of course in this way the text gets cut of in its lower part.
How can I do lines more compact? I need to reduce line spacing and to make the data more dense. Currently it looks very sparse.
Is it a known limitation for RS? Any workaround available? Any online example with dense reports?
Thank you.
How do I achieve double spacing of lines in a large text box in SSRS?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello, I have 2 tables: Articles and Users. These 2 tables are related by AuthorId (FK) in Articles and UserId (PK) in Users. My question is: should the use the same name for the 2 keys, i.e., UserId? Or it is normal to use AuthorId in Articles table and UserId in Users table. This makes more sense. Just a naming question. Thanks, Miguel

Most of the programming I do is in Access. I like to use naming conventions for all my tables, queries, etc. I am now moving several databases to SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good resource for naming convetions in SQL Server. Website, book?

In our database tables are generated like
EMP_MASTER
DEPT_MASTER
like that. when we generate classes from database the class names are looking like
EmpMaster
DeptMaster
but for my classes that Master suffix is not required.
please solve my problem.
Thanks and Regards,

Would like to know what naming convention you folks use.
What I need specifically is column naming conventions.
For instance, I have a table called 'lst_as400_srvr'. We could go with the vigorous:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
as400_srvr_idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
as400_srvr_namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
as400_srvr_is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
Or, I could loosen the rules a bit and go with:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
I would lean towards the vigorous because it would be very obvious what data is being referenced by the name. In the loosened version, I could very easily have many tables with a 'id' column or a 'is_active' column.
Inversely, I would lean towards the loosened version because the names are a lot shorter and, thus, easier / faster to type.
I figure, if I'm going to learn a new standard, now's a good time to do so.
So, thoughts? Appreciate the help folks. :)
I'm creating a new database for an application that I wish to sell in the future. When we sell it the client will have the option to host is or have us host it. I want to create a name for the database that doesn't describe what the product is. I also want to be able to create new databases if we host it and those names be of a similar convention or subject. I was thinking each would be a Greek god, galaxy names or something along those lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I'm coming from a MS Access background and so I'm very used to andcomfortable with the hungarian (Leszynski et al) naming conventions.However, I'm getting started into my first SQL Server Database andreally want to use the appropriate up to date standard namingconvention (ISO compliant).I think I have the general idea from raking though countlessconflicting sites and posts, but I'm a bit stuck on what to doregarding pk / fk namingFor example, in my MS Access world I would have two tables:tblOrders=======strOrderIDintCustomerIDdtOrderDate....tblCustomers==========intCustomerIDstrCustomerName....So what would the appropriate and most up-to-date and standard namingbe for SQL Server? My Guess:Orders=====Ord_Order_ID_PkOrd_Customer_ID_FkOrd_Order_Date....Customers========Cus_Customer_ID_PkCus_Customer_Name....How close (or far) am I from "Celko Proof" naming here?All help gratefully accepted!
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I schedule a DTS package as a Job and then look in the job step detail I am presented with the following line.

This number means nothing to me and I presume it might be encoded or encrypted.
If I wanted to be sure that this code actually relates to the correct DTS package how can I check.
Is there a specific table that will hold that code that will relate it to the DTS package??

Sorry if this seems trivial, but is it allowed to add hyphens in a physical server name?

Does anyone know if it is possible to create dynamically named tables from within a stored procedure? The goal is to append a unique identifier on the end of an otherwise static table name to allow for multiple incarnations of the table to exist concurrently while not interfering with each other. For example, we would like to create and use a temp table that is suffixed with a login name to or a timestamp to make it unique.
Is this possible?
