My query returns fields that have spaces in the names, for example:
select o.OrderID as 'INVOICE NUMBER', etc..
When I created the DataSet for this query in report designer, it changed all spaces in the field names to underscores, i.e. INVOICE_NUMBER.
This report must be exported to CSV, and the names of the fields (first row in csv) must have the spaces, not underscores. But it appears RS uses the field names (not the names in the column headers of the report table control) as the field names. Is there any way for me to force the field names in the first row of the csv to something other than the field names in the DataSet?
Hi All, I am placing a Matrix inside the table control for grouping requirements,but when we export the report to the Excel, the contents inside the table cell are ignored. Is there any way to get the full report exported, as per the Requirement.Please help me with this issue.
I have a sales report with each item group strating in a new page. When I export this to excel, I get mutiple worksheets (one sheet for each item group). This is fine but only problem is worksheets are not named( in this case name of item group). Has anyone got an idea how to populate worksheet names fro reporting services?

I'm trying to write an SSIS package that exports a table that has changing column names to an excel file. The column names change due to the fact that the table is created by a pivot daily. the only thing I'm missing is the ability to dynamically map the tables' columns to the excel destination. Is this possible?
I read in another thread that "It is not possible to create packages or new objects within packages using SSIS." I also read in the books online that "The input and the input columns of the Excel destination have no custom properties." To me this means that I cannot programmatically create or remove columns in the excel destination. Please tell me I'm wrong. So, to summarize my research so far. In writing an SSIS package, I cannot programmatically create a new excel destination object and I can't manipulate an existing one. I hope I'm wrong. Can anyone help me? (and please correct any wrong assumptions I may have stated)
I€™m using the ImportExport wizard to export the top 5 lines from a MS Sql table into a fixed format (€śragged€?) file. But I want the first record to contain the column names of the exported fields so I selected the €śColumn names in the first data row€? option of the €śChoose a Destination€? box. When I run the Package I get:
>>> · Information 0x402090dc: Data Flow Task: The processing of file "C:arkingdogExportWithheader.txt" has started (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
· Error 0xc0202095: Data Flow Task: Failed to write out column name for column "CustomerID". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Destination - ExportWithheader_txt" (49) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202095. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) >>>
When I de-select the €śColumn names€? option, the package works fine. Other than manually, how can I et the column names in output file?
I have one Query Builder application where user creates queries and generates output with required fields.Then user can export the same to excel (Using farPointSpread properties) But if no. of records goes beyond 10K it goes too slow or even user machine hangs up. I want to give proper export facility. Can it be given using DTS?
I tried DTS (.vbs) file. but for random field selection it did not work.
Our customer wants to display the exporting date only in the exported file when exports a report to PDF/Excel (we are using ReportViewer Control in ASP.NET). Can anybody tell me how to achieve this?
I have a table that display large amounts of text in some fields. The table only has two columns (Field Name and Field Data). If the Field data is too large to fit on the same page as the field above it, it pushes to the next page, and then starts printing at the top of that page (the next page down).
I tried setting the "Keep Together" property of the table = True, but this was of no use.
Has anyone found a way to work around this, and if so could you let me know what you had to do. It may just be a SQL Server default setting that cannot be changed. I just want to research all possibilities before reporting back to the users.
I need to get the names of tables and fields (or atleast the fields) from a database. Is there a query I can use that will return what all the db's tables and those tables fields are?
Hi, I am new to using SQL for anything more in depth than querying and reporting.
I am trying to create a series of SQL scripts which will be used across several customer sites so need to be easily customisable. What I want to do is have all of the table names, field names and customisable items handled by variables which will be declared and set at the beginning of the script, making them easy to find and change. The problem I am having at the moment is with creating a new table using variables for table name and field names, can anyone help?
set @a_fieldid1 = 'newFieldid' set @a_tmptbl = 'newTable'
create table @a_tmptbl ( @a_fieldid1 varchar(15), value float, counter INT);

select * from @a_tmptbl;
The error I am getting is:
quote:Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 8 Line 8: Incorrect syntax near '@a_tmptbl'. Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 10 Must declare the variable '@a_tmptbl'. Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 12 Must declare the variable '@a_tmptbl'.
I've called a resultset from SQL Server using an SQL Selection. I need to iterate over that entire result set (200+ columns/fields) and all I need are the random numbers contained in any of the rows/columns. I don't want to have to name each field/column and then use an if > 0 statement.Isn't there some way to generically loop through the column's by index or something instead of their field name so I can just use an integer loop to walk the dataset? I know there is I've done it about 5 years ago. The question is how do you do it in C#?SqlConnection thisConn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SQLQuery"].ConnectionString); SqlCommand thisCmd = new SqlCommand("Command String", thisConn); thisCmd.CommandText = "Select * from SelectionsByCountry where [" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString() + "] > '0'"; thisConn.Open(); SqlDataReader thisReader = null; thisReader = thisCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); while (thisReader.Read()) { DropDownList2.Items.Add(thisReader["System"].ToString().Trim());/*** There are 200+ columns left I want to walk over using a loop structure of some sort. How do I do that?*/ }- Rex

I currently have a LoginStatus and LoginName control on my asp.net 2.0 master page. When successfully logged in a message displays "You are logged in as" LoginName. Since I am using the user's e-mail address as the UserName the message will display as "You are logged in as johndoe@foo.com". What I want to do is have the message display as "You are logged in as " FirstName LastName. FirstName and LastName are two new fields that I added to the table, aspnet_Users. What I have done is to use the FormView control to display FirstName and LastName; however this always displays the first record in the aspnetdb database. Is there a cleaner way (than the FormView control) to display the requested data, using the currently logged in user? I have access to Microsoft Expression Web and Visual Studio 2005, but I prefer Expression Web. Thank you in advance
I'm exporting reports daily to a file share and I need to rename the reports with a pseudo time stamp.
Example: I have a report named "Disk Usage" and when I export (using a data-driven subscription) I want to rename it "Disk Usage - (Jan07)" - or something to that effect.

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.
As part if a recent requirement I have to export Chinese/Singaporean names in a CSV file. The data in the tables is a NVARCHAR(256).
I am using a FlatFile Connection manager where all the present columns from the table are exported as NVARCHARs. My understanding was that the Chinese/Singaporean names would blend seamlessly with NVARCHARs in place. But, they get garbled when pushed to the CSV.
Here is the connection manager setup
There are a lot of suggestions of fixing this by copying/pasting to a notepad file and changing the formatting... But I cant do that since the file is generated using a schedules SSIS package. How can I tweak the process to fix the issue?
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring?
For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes.
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication.
The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed.
Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list.
Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances?
I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
How can I create a Table whose one field will be 'tableid INT IDENTITY(1,1)' and other fields will be the fields from the table "ashu". can this be possible in SQL Server without explicitly writing the"ashu" table's fields name.

I am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:
I would like to search a table for a phrase, or for a partial phrase,eg on table product - for name or description, or name + descprition.How does one say select * from product where name + description like%phrase%or contains phraseCurrently I can get where name, or where descriotion like %phrase%,eg, where name like krups, or where description like coffee makerBut if I search for where name like %krups coffee maker% i get noresults. krups is in the name field, coffee maker is in thedescription field.Thanks,-M
Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like: UPDATE "TABLENAME" SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2 WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.
I have a list of items in one table and a field (pageName) in another table that may contain one of the aforementioned items somewhere within that field. There is no fixed position within the field where the itemNo may be so I can't just use SUBSTRING(pageName,2,5) in(select itemNo from tblItem).
Logically, it's like I need to combine IN and LIKE: select pageName where pageName LIKE IN %select itemNo from tblitemNo%..LIKE can only handle one comparison string.
