Hi
Is there anyway of copying an entire database (table layout, stored procs etc) without the data that the tables contain please?
I have a SQL7 DB (production) that I need to replicate on a SQL200 Server (development) but the DB is very large and all I need is the table structure and the stored procs on the development Server...
Cheers
I designed a report in reporting services 2005. When i look at the view layout for the report everything is aligned correctly but if i go to print preview one matrix is shifted up or down. I have tried to put the matrix inside a rectangle but the issue is still present. Does anyone know why this is happening or any suggestions on what to do to fix it.
Thanks

Hello Everyone
I'm looking for outside opinion on how to implement the business layer of an application. The straight forward idea I know of would be to develop a component that encapsulates all the business rules under objects. Client applications would access this component, and the business component would talk directly to the database. This was great for me when I used Access databases.
Now I have been introduced to SQL server and the stored procedures. I think stored procedures are one of the best features because these procedures can enforce rules as sort of a "last line of defence". So this is where my question comes in. Where would the best place be to implement the business layer? Through a component, such as XML services that allow other clients to access the business rules OR stored procedures.
I do understand that components/dlls provide MUCH more flexibility then stored procedures.
But, if I do take the component route:
- Other then SQL queries that get called multiple times, is there any use for stored procedures?
- For some case scenarios such as web sites that access a Business Layer, should the business layer use ONE sql server login/role to access the data or create a sql login/role for each major segment/service? E.g. one login for the accounting side, one login for the
web site services, one side for HR and the business layer will have to decide which one to use depending on the service requested.
- Would it be in the best interest of security that I allow the business components to send SQL queuries such as Insert/Delete/Update? I loved the idea of stored procedures because if for some reason, someone steals the business layer userId/password, they are only exposed to the assigned stored procedures and cannot do "Delete From Table". Unfortunately, this practice has led to an abundance of stored procedures (the list is HUGE).
If I do take the Sql stored procedure route:
- If someone steals any user Id/password, they will only be exposed to the assigned stored procedures and THOSE stored procedures contain the business rules. Thus the damage can be minimized.
- If some developer makes a mistake down the road or forgets some sort of business aspect (and is not going through the business layer), again, stored procedures would offer a last "line of defense". Lets face it, there are some applications that do not necessary require a business layer
I'd like to get everyone's opinion on how they partition the business rules with SQL server? Do you use SQL server stored procedures to only enforce formating rules (such as upper case, lower, etc) while the business rules are stored in a component?
Do you use stored procedures to enforce all business rules? None?
Thank you for your time,
Adrian
Hello Everyone:
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
How do I fix this?
TIA
I have a form that I created that groups make and model and it totals all the fields to make 1 entry on the Layout. I then am trying to get the layout to SUM those values but it does not. For example we have 2
Make, Model, Totals
CV, P2100, 50,000
CV, P2100, 52,000
CV, P2100, 48,000
CM, R3200, 50,000
CM, R3200, 53,000
CM, R3400, 20,000
CM, R3400, 22,000
As you can see above we have 2 Makes CV and CM, with Diff models.
The code i used totals the make, model, and totals for the parts.
Results look like this.
Make, Model, Total
CV, P2100, 150,000
CM, R3200, 103,000
CM, R3400, 42,0000
I tried to use the SUM function and it takes all older totals and places that at the bottom creating a Larger value than what should be posted.
the CM total should be 145,000 and the CV would be 150,000.
Here is the code I am using for this and this parts right I am just having issues with the layout not posting the correct numbers.
SELECT equip.eqpphybr, equip.kequipnum, equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel, equip.kserialnum, equipdet.glsrc, equipdet.glamt, equipdet.gldate, equipdet.action,
CASE WHEN action = 'b' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS RentalBilling,
CASE WHEN action = '6' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Depreciation,
CASE WHEN action = 'a' THEN glamt ELSE 0000000.00 END AS Repairs, equip.eqprecdt, equipdaily.cnvf001, equipdaily.cnvf00109, equip.eqpstatus
FROM equipdet INNER JOIN equip ON equipdet.kequipnum = equip.kequipnum INNER JOIN equipdaily ON equip.kequipnum = equipdaily.kequipnum
WHERE (equipdet.gldate BETWEEN @fromdate AND @thrudate) AND (equip.eqpstatus <> 'SO')
ORDER BY equip.kmfg, equip.kmodel
__________________________________________________________________-
For the layout its looks like this with 2 groupings.
Below is the headers in same order as the =Fields
Br,EQ#, MFG, Model, S/N, ACQ Date, ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is row 1 inserted as a group with expression =Fields!kmfg.Value)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
(This row is set as a group by =Fields!Kmodel.Value)
ACQ Cost, Book Value, Rental Billing, Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------
(I added a row from the =Fields!Kmodel.Value to get percents.)
Depreciation, Repairs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
=IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Depreciation.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)/-1, =IIF(Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value)<>0,Sum(Fields!Repairs.Value)/Sum(Fields!RentalBilling.Value),0)
We have a report that is printed landscape and contains a main table with values. Inside this table we also want to create a "sub-report" table based on two other criteria (charges and credits), but this data is still grouped with the main table. Here is a simple schematic of the report
XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX Charges
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
Credits
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX
We have placed a rectangle in the last column of the main table to accomodate two other "sub-tables": one for Charges and the other for Credits. We need to keep the heighth of each row in the main table the same (without extra white space) so we cannot move the second table for Credits below the table for charges.
I hope this makes sense and anybody with any suggestions, it is appreciated.
I'm developing a system in .NET to record and manage marks for classroom attendance. To enable staff to print-out the registers, I need to output the data in a printable format. My first thought on this was to use Reporting Servcices, however there are a number of caveats.
I'm using the matrix control to handle the displaying of the students with the class dates and attendance marks. After 25 columns are output this should wrap to a new page, is this possible?
When wrapping to a new page, the first 3 columns should remain the same with the other 18 being the next lot of class dates.
There needs to be 25 rows shown, regardless of whether or not there are actually 25 rows returned from the dataset.
Essentially the layout for this is strictly controlled. Is RS the correct tool for this or is there something else I can/should use?
Example register layout
NO. STUDENT ID 01/01 08/01 15/01 22/01 29/01
1 ADAM SMITH 123456 X X X X X
2 JANE WILSON 748386 X O O X X
Hey, guys
I have got problem of designing a report table. The table is created based on 5 field dataset output, student name, semester, unit name, unit code and exam mark. e.g.
StudentID Semeter UnitName UnitCode Mark
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
123456 1, 2006 Database IT001 85
123456 1, 2006 XML IT002 82
123456 2, 2006 Web Development IT003 76
123456 2, 2006 ............
etc
and there is supposed to one table for one semester and the student ID and Semester must be in the first 2 rows and all the other data is column based as normal, which is like
StudentID 123456
Semester 1, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnitName UnitCode Mark
Database ITN001 85
XML ITN002 82
StudentID 123456
Semester 2, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnitName UnitCode Mark
Web Development ITN003 76
I only can create the table using grouping but the layout is column based.
Does anybody know how can I design the table to achieve the above table layout.
Thanks in advance.

Jeff
I started the project with the goal of using 2005 Reporting Services as the reporting mechanism. Our graphic designer has created a layout that has been approved by the company and I am attempting to translate that layout to a report design that gives similar output.
I have discovered during the course of working with reports that true free from data layout is not possible. What I was expecting was the ability to design a layout for data in the body section of the report, and that layout being repeated for each row of data in the database.
I understand that tables and lists exists that allow repeated data to be displayed, but is it possible to repeat data in a custom freeform layout with 2005 Reporting Services.
Imagine if you were creating a report that looked like an ID card for each record. Would such a layout be possible with this reporting service?
If not, could someone direct me to a reporting application that does? Does Crystal Reports satisfy this requirement? I liked Reporting Services because it allowed one to design once and output into several popular formats, but the design portion doesn't appear to be as freeform as I was lead to believe.
Thanks
Hi,
When I preview my Reporting Services Report in VS2005 the report uses 2 separate pages. Even when there is very little data on Page 1 it will display something on Page 2.
How do I get all data on the one page?
Thanks.
I'm having a problem with my deployed reports. Once they have been deployed to a server then the layout changes and some parts of the report move around to line up with the edge of a matrix or the bottom of a table even through they do not actually overlap. The layout also changes depending on whether report items are visible or hidden, with tables moving away from hidden items but lining up witht hem when they are visible.
This also sometimes happens when moving between the layout and preview tabs in reporting services although this is not so much of a problem.
Has anyone else experienced the same problems and if so did you find a solution?
I have had a lood through the forum but although folks seem to be having a lot of issues with layout I can't see a problem quite like this one.
We have a number of customer reports which need to be exported to PDF and to look quite smart. They are single page reports with things like address and customer info at the top, followed by the main report, all of which can have a variable number of rows. Then at the bottom is some supplementary information which can also vary quite substantially in size. All I want is for the main report to hug the top of the page and the supplementary one to hug the bottom of the page - and I only really care what it looks like in PDF format. The problem is that I can't seem to achieve this. As the area at the top expands the bottom section moves up and down the page. I'd be quite happy to set aside a fixed area at the bottom of the page for the supplementary report, but I can't even work out how to acheive that! You would think that the obvious answer would be to put it in to a footer, but for some reason you can't put data elements in to headers or footers (why?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a report that i have totaled and working correctly and I am able to get the 2 columns to sum up but I need to get those 2 sumed columns to be divided to get the gross prof %.
The columns that I have summed are
=Sum(Fields!eqpsldamt.Value)
=Sum(Fields!grosspro.Value)
I need to take those summed values and divide them but I do not know the propper syntax to do this. I thought it would have been
=SUM(Fields!grosspro.Value) / SUM(eqpsldamt.Value)
But this did not work any help would be great thanks!

Hi Guys,
Can I hear your views on this type of DB layout? I have a DB that contains tables which are not linked by FK's etc but rely on one another through SP's. I've never came across this layout before so was hoping you could shed some light on it with your experiences etc.
Also what if many of the tables didn't have PK's this would lead to duplicate data being allowed to be entered into the database. Are there any other issues here?

I have a report that needs to show postal addresses. The address is broken down into several fields. The problem I have is some of the address parts are optional. If they are empty, I'm left with nasty gaps in the address. I'd really like next label to reclaim the space of any empty labels.
a quick example
A full address would look like this..
customer name
address line 1
address line 2
town
county
post code
if address line 2 isnt given, I get:
customer name
address line 1
town
county
post code
but I want:
customer name
address line 1
town
county
post code
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I have a report that, among other things, contains 3 tables laid out side-by-side horizontally. The first table is conditionally visible and when it is hidden the report contains whitespace instead of the table. The problem is that this causes an unappealing visual look because the other 2 tables look shifted too much to the right.
What is the recommended way for dealing with situations like this? There doesn't seem to be support for specifying the location (i.e. top, left) of elements based on expressions. Am I "stuck" with having to create multiple flavors of the report?
Thanks,
Vitaly

Hello,
I am trying to come up with a Matrix report using RS 2005 that looks like this one below. I have row data: question, columns data: Ethnicity and Gender, detail data: Gender average response and Ethnicity average reponse. I utlilized Report Wizard to create a report in a Matrix format , however I wasn't able to have Gender and Ethnicity column on the same line. The report wizard groups columns so Gender is a subset of Ethnicity or Ethnicity is a subset of Gender. How can is solve this issuee so that Gender and Ethnicity data is presented in a Matrix format and Gender and Ethnicity are not part of each other.
Thank you!

I have created a very simple SQL report which has a title, Image, 3 subtitles and some data fields.
When I view it is my VS designer and preview it looks perfect, however when I deploy and view the the report through my ReportViewer control all the labels get moved around and the entire thing is a mess.
If I then export it to PDF it looks perfect again... I am sure I am missing something obvious but I can't find it.
I have done absolutely no expression formatting or coding at all. It's a plain SQL query and plain result textboxes.
when i add a calculation in the group from my second dataset, it is summing the whole dataset, instead of just for that group. any suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
In my report I create a group of matrixes and remove the space between them. They have the same size and when I make the preview it looks just fine. They apear all together without any space between them. My problem is when I make the print layout. They appear with a huge space between them and I don't know why.
Has someone passed by the same? Any solution for this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have a questions for those familiar with the tools and work-arounds of SSRS 2005. My task is to produce a report that has page(s) consisting of three parts that are equal divided vertically amoung the 11 inches of the report height. The first section on the top section has a a check on it. The second and third sections have two seperate yet identical tables.
The trick for this is that each table (in sections part two and three) must not leak into each other's section. Essentially each section has X amount of rows that are shown on each page with the next X amount of rows on seperate pages after that. The problem, as you can most likely guess, is that you cannot force a table to continue only into it's appriopriate section on the next page. I've tried many, many combinations of tricks to try and trick SSRS into working. I know that SSRS most likely doesn't support this directly, but I'm looking for a genius or just anybody who might have a work-around. I'll update this as I find out more. Please feel free to ask for more of an explaination if needed. Thanks!
Hi to all,
My idea is to create one main report. Now, depending on the parameters the report is receiving, my matrix will shift and change groups/rows.
For example, using only one dataset:
Client1 sees only activities/costs
Client2 sees activity/costs/blabla1/blabla2
Client3 sees activity/costs/subtotal for costs/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3
Basically, without having to create various reports, I will have one major, dynamic report.
The best that I have accomplished is hiding the non-wanted column, although the end result isn€™t good.
Thanks in advanced, personally I think it€™s a good challenge€¦ Any suggestion?
I am trying to change the Page size of the layout dynamically. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so can you point me in the right direction to find resources for this.
Thank you for any help.
HiWe run SQL 2000 on Windows 2000. The database has one big table withapprox. 90m rows in it, it also as 4 indexes on it, one of them is aclustered index. They physical size of the database is approx. 50GbI am planing to migrate the database to more powerful server. Myquestion is on the new server would we get any benefit from have say 5x10 Gb file for the database as opposed to a single 50GB file.The database will have exclusive access to RAID 10 array withdedicated controller for the data, another array for the T.LogAny thoughts hints would be very helpfulThanks
