Dynamic Filter Operator

Aug 30, 2007

Here is what I am trying to do in SSRS 2005.
Setting up filters based on parameters with an expression like this:

=Iif(Parameters!Company.Value = "", "", Fields!company.Value)

In the wizard we are creating, we are also letting the user choose the operator for each parameter that they choose. My question is how can I change the filter dynamically based on the user choosing a specific parameter and also choosing an operator to associate with that parameter??

Example 1: User 1 chooses the Company parameter to filter their report, and they choose the parameter to equal (=) a specific value. So the filter expression would be like the one previously mentioned and the operator would be an equal sign.

Example 2: User 2 chooses the Company parameter to filter their report, and they choose the parameter to be LIKE a specific value. So the filter expression would be like the one previously mentioned and the operator would be LIKE.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Filter A Dataset With The Range (inc.) Operator

Mar 12, 2007

It seems that when I use the Range(inc.) as the filter operator for a Dataset and then try to use the Last and First keywords to extract the results from the dataset in the layout the results are sometimes wrong and don't match the expected.

Does anyone knows of any issues that would affect this filtering mechanism?

Merge Replication W/ Dynamic Row Filter - Not 'dynamic' After First Initial Sync?

May 2, 2007

If anyone could confirm...

SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.

E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.

First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.

However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.

Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?

I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!

Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?

If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?

In Query Builder Design View, How Does The Filter Operator MDX Work?

Nov 12, 2007

Good morning all,

I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find any information on it. When I use the Query Builder, in the top pane, the Filter pane, there are five columnsimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expession and Parameters.

In the dropdown for Operator, one of the choices is MDX. I cannot find any documentation on how to use this operator. I want to limit my filter to SELF_AND_AFTER, and I am hoping that this is possible using this operator. I know how to hand code it, but I have a ton of other tweaks to make to the query, so I want to use the Query Designer as much as I can.

Does anyone have any links to documentation on how to use this operator?

Thanks,
Kathryn

Dynamic Operator Help

Jun 18, 2007

Hi,
I'm trying to build a form that will allow users to choose their own parameters for the Select statement in the SqlDataSource. These results would then be displayed back to a GridView control. The only problem I am having is figuring out how to allow them to choose the operator (=, <, >, <>, etc) from a dropdown list. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this with a SqlDataSource control? It is probably something simple and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Dynamic WHERE Operator Based On User Input

Oct 17, 2007

Let's say I have a table with 3 fields: an ID field (primary key, set as an id field, etc.), a Name field (nvarchar50), and an Age field (int). I have a form that has three elements:
DropDownList1: This drop down list contains 3 choices- "=", ">", and "<".
Age: This text box is where someone would enter a number.
Button1: This is the form's submit button.
I want someone to be able to search the database for entries where the Age is either equal to ("="), greater than (">"), or less than ("<") whatever number they enter into TextBox1.
The code-behind is shown below. The part I'm confused about is that if I load this page, the query works the -first- time. Then, if I try to change the parameters in the form and submit it, I get the following error:
"The variable name '@Age' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure."
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is what I'm using in my code behind:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); sb.Append("SELECT * FROM People WHERE Age "); switch (DropDownList1.SelectedValue) { case "=": sb.Append("= "); break; case ">": sb.Append("> "); break; case "<": sb.Append("< "); break; } sb.Append("@Age"); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = sb.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("Age", TypeCode.Int32, Age.Text); }

Dynamic Evaluation Of Expression Operator (was Substitution)

Jan 27, 2005

Hi I am trying to do something like the following:

DECLARE @Operator varchar(1)
DECLARE @Rate float
DECLARE @Quantity float
DECLARE @Converted float

SET @Quantity = 6
SET @Operator = '/'
SET @Rate = 2
SET @Converted = 0

@Converted = (@Quantity substituteTheValueOfThis(@Operator) @Rate)

PRINT @Converted

so that the output would be 3

The reason I need to do it like this is that @Operator will change at runtime...

Any suggestions appreciated, I have looked at EXEC sp_execsql but somehow can't get the syntax right.

Using A Datetime As Dynamic Filter... How?

Aug 23, 2006

Hi!

Is there any way to use datetime value as dynamic filter in the Merge Replication?

(Yeah, I use HOST_NAME in order to pass datetime value)

I used all possible approaches, but or I got the error

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 241)

or I got 0 rows on the subscriber after synchronization.

Any ideas how it can be solved?

Merge Replication With Dynamic Filter

Jun 14, 2006

Brand new to SQL Server 2005 and replication, I was able to use online books info to get a replication topology set up (using wizards) and successfully replicate an article (a single table) to a SQL Server Express database.

I then cleared the subscription table and added a simple dynamic filter (colx = SUSER_SNAME()), which I can't get to work. Based on what I read, I'm thinking that SUSER_SNAME() is not returning the proper value because the merge agent is set to connect to the publisher and distributor by 'impersonating the process account'. This is on the subscription merge agent security form. However, 'using a SQL Server login' is greyed out and nothing I tried will enable it, including setting up logins and SQL user ids on the publisher and playing with entries on the publication properties data partitions page, etc.

I think that I have discovered only some of the pieces that I need and not enough details to find the rest and put them together. Any info on what to have set up where would be appreciated. Any suggestions for 'step by step' information that would help in addition to SQL Server 2005 Books Online would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Merge Dynamic Filter Problem

Hi!

I'm a merge newbie and have a couple of questions. I'm about to setup a merge replication with Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server CE as a subscriber. Situation is like this, we have 10 service technicians using pda.

I want to each pda user have their own data. What I understand I need to use dynamic filter and SUSER_NAME()?? Do I need to create a "translation" table to map my system's UserId against SUSER_NAME? How have you solved this problem?

Report Designer Dynamic Filter

Feb 28, 2007

I have a requirement to add the ability to filter a report by partial last name, at the report level (i.e. not at the database server). In case someone else needs to work out how to do this, here is what I did.

Add a Parameter to the report. In my case it is named LastName, is non-queried, allows Null or Blank, and has a default of null.
Add a filter to the dataset that contains the field to be searched. Set its Expression to:
=IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = System.DBNull.Value OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "",
Fields!LastName.Value, Nothing) ,
its operator to "="
and its value to =IIF(Parameters!LastName.Value = Nothing OR Parameters!LastName.Value = "", Nothing, Parameters!LastName.Value & "*")

voila!

Dynamic Filter Not Updating Correctly

Apr 14, 2006

I have several SQL Mobile devices (WM5) syncronizing with a SQL 2005 database through merge replication. We are using the HOST_NAME parameter to filter several tables. A few of these filters use a sub-query to filter the data because of the complexity of the filter (need to do more than join to one table). The subquery will use the HOST_NAME parameter. For example, I want to get a list of all users in the current user's company I need to use host_name to get the current user, find their company ID, then filter the user table on that company ID.

Everything works fine until a user is removed from the table. In that case, the delete statement is not replicated to the device until they reinitialize the mobile database.

Thanks for the help!!

Merge Replication Using A Guid As A Dynamic Filter

Aug 12, 2006

Hi ...

I am working on a project where the server version of application has vouchers from different entities. I have created a publication manually. My next step was to create a client subscription using rmo and to execute a pull. This part works fine. Code samples from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms147314.aspx

My next step would be to implement dynamic filtering using the guid of the entity as a parameter.

I dont want to use suser_sname() or host_name() as I want to use a fixed login for the replication for all users, and a client could have several host dbs (sql express, sql mobile)

My goal would be to pass a guid-value to the HostName Property of the MergePullSubscription class and convert it to an uniquidentifier and use it as a filter as I have not found any other way to pass a guid as a filter.

RMO-Code:

subscription.HostName = "4bb0e468-c68a-4253-ba82-f71c3a6e302d"

Filter:

SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[voucher] WHERE [entity_ID] = dbo.fx_ConvertHostToEntity()

Function:

create function fx_ConvertHostToEntity()
returns uniqueidentifier
as
Begin
declare @host nvarchar(50)
set @host = host_name()
declare @entity uniqueidentifier
set @entity = cast( @host as uniqueidentifier)
return @entity
End

When trying to set the filter sql server complains that a character string cannot be casted to a uniqueidentifier - so i can not set this filter. Is there a way to pass a parameter other then the username or the hostname as a filter?

SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[voucher] WHERE [entity_ID] =@entity, where @entity is a guid

Thanks for your support

Automatic Select Filter (something Like Global Table Filter)

Apr 15, 2008

Hello,

Here is my problem:

I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example:
create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)

Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;

All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.

However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.

Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.

However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:

I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */
-- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))
select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ...
and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;

Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables.
For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".

I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.

I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Beroetz

And/or Filter Field Not Enabled In The Group Filter Tab

Jan 26, 2006

Howdy,

I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I don��t want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.

PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?

The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)

Invalid Operator For Data Type. Operator Equals Boolean AND, Type Equals Datetime.

May 18, 2004

I am getting a error message saying: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals datetime.

I traced the pointer to @gdo and @gd, they are both dates!

INSERT INTO AdminAlerts values (CURRENT_USER, 'UPDATE', getDate(), @biui, 'Updated booking, ID of booking updated: ' & @biui & ', Booking date and time before/after update: ' & @gdo & '/' & @gd & ', Room number before/after update: ' & @rno & '/' & @rn & ' and Customer ID before/after update: ' & @cio & '/' & @ci)

If I cut that two dates out it works fine.
Could someone tell me the syntax to include a date in a string :confused:

Importing Excel Sheet Which Have Dynamic Column Name And Dynamic Number Of Columns

Aug 25, 2007

Hi Craig/Kamal,

I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.

Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.

We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.

I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.

Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.

Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.

I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

SSRS 2005 - Email Report On Execution To Dynamic List With Dynamic Parameters = No Schedule

Nov 23, 2007

Hi,
I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.

So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:

1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses.
2. Report is generated and displayed on screen.
3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.

Any tips on how to get this working?

Thanks

Mixing Dynamic SQL With Non-Dynamic In Stored Proc

Mar 24, 2007

I have a Stored Procedure for processing a Bill of Material.

One column on the Assembly Table is a Function Name that contains some busniess rules.

OK, now I'm doing a Proof of Concept and I'm stumped.

Huuuuh!

I will ultimately have about 100 of these things. My plan was using Dynamic SQL to go execute the function.

Note: The function just returns a bit.

So; here's what I had in mind ...

if isnull(@FnNameYN,'') <> ''
exec spinb_CheckYN @FnNameYN, @InvLineID, @FnBit = @FnBit output

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spinb_CheckYN
@FnNameYN varchar(50),
@InvLineID int,
@FnBit bit output
AS

declare @SQL varchar(8000)

set @SQL = '
if dbo.' + @FnNameYN + ' (' + convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) + ')) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0'

exec (@SQL)
GO

Obviously; @FnBit is not defined in @SQL so that execution will not work.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Must declare the variable '@FnBit'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Must declare the variable '@FnBit'.

So; is there a way to get a value out of a Dynamic SQL piece of code and get that value INTO my OUTPUT variable?

My many thanks to anyone who can solve this riddle for me.
Thank You!

Sigh: For now, it looks like I'll have a huge string of "IF" statements for each business rule function, as follows:
Hopefully a better solution comes to light.

------ Vertical Build1 - Std Vanes -----------
if @FnNameYN = 'fnb_YN_B1_14'
BEGIN
if dbo.fnb_YN_B1_14 (convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) ) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0
END

------ Vertical Build1 - Scissor Vanes -----------
if @FnNameYN = 'fnb_YN_B1_15'
BEGIN
if dbo.fnb_YN_B1_15 (convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) ) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0
END

SQL LIKE Operator And %

Jan 14, 2008

Just a quick question that I really couldn't find using google or anything because it was too bland.
How do you return the whole database while still using the LIKE operator.
I have a textbox that you can use to search the database but I want all the data to be displayed underneath the box so you can "browse" the data if you don't know the name of what you are looking for.
What would I put as the default value? I used just defaultvalue="%" and that worked in 1 area, but not another. Is this the right way?
Thanks,

SQL AND/OR Operator

Apr 30, 2008

I have a query and for the life of me I cant figure it out.
I have a web form with a number of textboxes on it e.g. Title, subtitle, isbn. I also have a search button. This search page allows a user to enter any combination of fields in the form and then when they click the search button, a datagrid is diaplyed showing the results (gets the results from a SQL DB).
I have got the code working if the user selects say one item, but I dont know how to allow it so that the user can enter any combination of items in the form and the search button will search for it based on what the user says. I think im gettng confused with my logical operators in the sql statement.
If any one can take a look I would be greatful.public void BindData(){String @BookID = TxtBookID.Text;String @Title = TxtTitle.Text;String @Subtitle = TxtSubtitle.Text;String @ISBN = TxtISBN.Text;String @AuthorFName = TxtForename.Text;String @AuthorLName = TxtSurname.Text;
