I have a report that requires SubTotals for each page.
To do this successfully, I had to introduce the following grouping:
Code Snippet=Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/5
This groups every 5 records.
Unfortunately, the length of data in my records is not uniform. For example, certain records have long(over 4 lines) comment field while others are short(1 line).
This means that even though I have an artificial grouping, the group may still be split up over two or more pages.
Is there a way to Group records PER PAGE dynamically?
I'm currently running the following statement that is used in a CrystalReport. Basically, a record is returned when the T_PAYMENT.amounthas a record in the database based on the value of the T_MULTILIST.codefield. Currently, if there is no record returned, there is no listingin the report for the given T_MULTILIST.code.The user now wants a record to be displayed on the report when there isno record in the database - she wants it to display a value of '$0'for the given T_MULTILIST.code record. I tried to explain the fact thatis not possible the way things stand at the moment. Basically I needsome typeof case statement that says 'if there is no record returned, create asingle record and set T_PAYMENT.amount = 0' AFTER each query has beenexecuted.Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?SELECT DISTINCT'English Language Arts, Grade 1' as Rec_Type, 'English Language Arts(Consumable)' as Super_Type, '' as Other_Type, 'Continuing Contracts'as Proc_Type,T_MULTILIST_GRADE.grade, T_MULTILIST.description, T_MULTILIST.code,T_PAYMENT.amountFROM (T_MULTILIST T_MULTILIST INNER JOIN (T_PAYMENT T_PAYMENTINNER JOIN T_SHIPPING_DETAILT_SHIPPING_DETAIL ONT_PAYMENT.transaction_id=T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.transac tion_id)ON T_MULTILIST.code=T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.multilist_code) INNER JOINT_MULTILIST_GRADE T_MULTILIST_GRADE ONT_MULTILIST.code=T_MULTILIST_GRADE.multilist_code, T_ORDER, T_REQUISITION, T_REQUISITION_DETAILWHERET_ORDER.id = T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.order_id ANDT_REQUISITION.id = T_ORDER.requisition_id ANDT_REQUISITION_DETAIL.requisition_id = T_REQUISITION.id ANDT_REQUISITION_DETAIL.latest_record_flag = 1 ANDT_REQUISITION.latest_record_flag = 1 ANDT_ORDER.latest_record_flag = 1AND (T_MULTILIST.code='1040')AND (T_MULTILIST.expiration_year >= '2006' )AND (T_REQUISITION.requested_shipment_date >= '2006' + '0601'AND T_REQUISITION.requested_shipment_date < dateadd(YY, 1,'2006' + '0601' ) )UNIONSELECT DISTINCT'English Language Arts, Kindergarten' as Rec_Type, 'EnglishLanguage Arts (Consumable)' as Super_Type,'' as Other_Type, 'Continuing Contracts' as Proc_Type,T_MULTILIST_GRADE.grade, T_MULTILIST.description,T_MULTILIST.code, T_PAYMENT.amountFROM (T_MULTILIST T_MULTILIST INNER JOIN (T_PAYMENT T_PAYMENTINNER JOIN T_SHIPPING_DETAIL T_SHIPPING_DETAILON T_PAYMENT.transaction_id=T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.transac tion_id)ON T_MULTILIST.code=T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.multilist_code) INNER JOINT_MULTILIST_GRADE T_MULTILIST_GRADE ONT_MULTILIST.code=T_MULTILIST_GRADE.multilist_code, T_ORDER, T_REQUISITION, T_REQUISITION_DETAILWHERET_ORDER.id = T_SHIPPING_DETAIL.order_id ANDT_REQUISITION.id = T_ORDER.requisition_id ANDT_REQUISITION_DETAIL.requisition_id = T_REQUISITION.id ANDT_REQUISITION_DETAIL.latest_record_flag = 1 ANDT_REQUISITION.latest_record_flag = 1 ANDT_ORDER.latest_record_flag = 1AND (T_MULTILIST.code='0040')and (T_MULTILIST.expiration_year >= '2006' )AND (T_REQUISITION.requested_shipment_date >= '2006' + '0601'AND T_REQUISITION.requested_shipment_date < dateadd(YY, 1,'2006' + '0601' ) )Up to 40 more UNION statements follow the above 2.
Hi All, I have a report that can be used by two different groups of people. If a local manager runs the report the facility is set by the web application and the parameter is hidden from the user. If regional manager runs the report they can multi-select from the locations in there region. In this case I want to have a group for each location selected. I was hoping that I could just add an expression to the group to hide it base on the location parameter, however if I hide the group everything in the group is hidden as well. Is there a way to dynamically add or remove or show and hide this group and keep all the detail data?
After looking at this a bit more I will also need to change the toggle item if the group is present or not. Tried this as an expression and it did not work.
I have a basic report that has some transaction info, eg
Name Type
AAA Buy
AAA Buy
AAA Sell
BBB Buy
BBB Buy
BBB Buy
BBB Sell
Etc
I want to group all the BBB's together, but I don't want to group ANY others together... Ie, I want to group the transactions together if the name is BBB, else I don't want to group at all.
I've got this working -- I allow users to have 2 groups, and choose what they want to group by. I'd like to add one extra bit of functionality -- for the inner grouping, I would like my users to have the option "None" -- i.e. don't have an inner group.
I've tried setting the group expression of the second (inner) group to "" when the user chooses the "None" option but the report errors out. Any suggestions as to how to dynamically get rid of the inner group?
Hi, I am currently trying to create a report the dynamicaly groups from parameters. The grouping part works fine but I need to show the parameter label name or the field referenced by a parameter.
This is the expression I have written to do this. The problem seems to be is with the true part of the iif statement. The false displays fine in the group header. The Parameters!Param2.Label also displays if used on its own.
This is the error that is fires back when I run the report.
The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox4€™ contains an error: The expression referenced a non-existing field in the fields collection.
I want to group the records on the time difference
declare @tbl as table(id int,intid int,val int,dt datetime) insert into @tbl select 1,1,10,'03/31/2006 15:05:22' union all select 2,1,12,'03/31/2006 15:10:22' union all select 3,1,15,'03/31/2006 15:15:22' union all select 4,1,12,'03/31/2006 15:25:22' union all select 5,1,8,'03/31/2006 15:30:22' union all select 6,1,6,'03/31/2006 15:35:22' union all select 7,1,4,'03/31/2006 15:40:22' union all select 8,1,3,'03/31/2006 15:45:22' union all select 9,1,10,'03/31/2006 15:50:22'
declare @tbl1 as table(intid int,Tm int,val int) insert into @tbl1 select 1,5,10
I want a output such that when the val in @tbl goes below the val in @tbl1 for the Tm mentioned in @tbl1 then the time difference should be shown.For example record 1 it starts with 10 the records remain more than 10 till record number 5.From 5 the records remains lower than 10 till record number 9.So I need to show the the time difference from record number 5 till 9. But there is a catch.In @tbl1 there is column named Tm.The time difference sould be calculated only if the diff more than Tm value in @tbl1. For example if the value of Tm is changed to say 25 then the there is no need to show the time difference since the time difference value from record 5 to record 9 is less than 25. Hope I am clear.
All,Given multiple records with identical values in all fields except asingle varchar field, is there an efficient query that will group therecords into a single record and concatenate the aforementionedvarchar field into a single field with each of the source records'values separated by commas?Example:Record 1 'Doug' , '1'Record 2 'Doug' , '2'Output record 'Doug' , '1,2'Thanks in advance,Doug
I have results from a query that have anywhere from 1-4 results. I have a subid of 1-4 which is grouped by a certain criteria. so for example...
id subid text 1 processing A records 2 1000 records processing 3 importing A records 4 1000 records processed 1 processing B records 2 500 records processing 3 importing B records 4 1000 records processed
Here is what my desired output is giving each group of subids 1-4 an id to be grouped together.
id subid text 1 1 processing A records 1 2 1000 records processing 1 3 importing A records 1 4 1000 records processed 2 1 processing B records 2 2 500 records processing 2 3 importing B records 2 4 1000 records processed
I need to group records and assign a setid to the group.

A value in ColAcan belong to multiple values in ColB and a value in ColB can havemultiple values in ColA.
I have tried to process > 3 million Fuzzy grouping records on two different servers with no success. 3 mill works but anything above 4 mill doesn't. Some background:
We are trying to de-dup our customer table on: name (.5 min), address1 (.5 min), city (.5 min), state (exact). .8 overall record min score. Output includes additional fields: customerid, sourceid, address2, country, phonenumber Without SP1 installed I couldn't even get a few hundred thousand records to process Two different servers - same problems. Note that SSIS and SQL Server are running locally on both The higher end server has 4GB RAM, the other 2.5 GB RAM. Plenty of free disk space on both SQL Server is configured to use 2 GB of RAM max The page file is currently at 15GB
After running a number of test on both servers trying different batch sizes etc. the one thing I noticed is that it seems to always error out when SSIS takes over and starts chewing up all the available RAM. This happens after the index is created and SSIS starts "warming caches". On both servers SQL Server uses up about 1.6GB of RAM at this point while SSIS keeps taking over RAM until all physical RAM is used up.
Some questions:
Has anyone been able to process more then 3 million records and if so what is your hardware configuration? Should we try running SSIS from a different server so it has access to the full amount of physical RAM? (so it doesn't have to fight for RAM with SQL Server) Should we install Win 2003 Enterprise Server so we can add more RAM? Any ideas why switching to the page file might be causing errors?
Hey All, I'm trying to decide what's the 'best' to use. I've been designing and creating database for a while and have pretty much always used a surrogate key and not a normal one. I've finally had some free time to start studying more so in my spare time and read up and come accross a lot of guides, articles and stories that tout that normal keys should be used whenever possible as they're a better identifier and that surrogate keys should only be used when there is not a readily available normal key. Now perhaps I'd be open to accepting that but absolutely every database I come across tends to only use surrogate keys. For example I'm doing an authentication system from scratch and am looking at the User table. Now of course the user name has to be unique, should that be the primary key or should I have a seperate column with a guid or an incrementing int or the like as the primary key? I can certainly see that username could be used. I can also see how it may be easier when looking through the data tables to identify who/what a table is refering to with a surrogate key. However it still seems sort of sloppy, for lack of a better word, to me. Where now I could have somebody's username (or any other piece of data used for this purpose) spread accross a lot of other tables. And while writting this I just thought of the scenario that perhaps somebody needs their username changed, with this method now the ids need to be changed on all the related rows of all the other tables whereas with a surrogate key it wouldn't matter. Anyways I'm mostly looking for opinions on which way to go (not just with the user sample, but more in general).Thanks.
I tried to ask a similar question yesterday and got shot down, so I'll try again in a different way. I have been looking online at the gaps and islands approach, and it seems to always be referencing a singular field, so i can't find anything which is clear to get my head around it.In the context of a hotel (people checking in and out) I would like to identify how long someone has been staying at the hotel (The Island?) regardless if they checked out and back in the following day.
Data example: DECLARE @LengthOfStay TABLE ( PersonVARCHAR(8) NOT NULL, CheckInDATE NOT NULL, CheckOutDATE NULL

I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.
I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:
WO# -WO Line # --(Details) --Work Order Line Detail #1 --Work Order Line Detail #2 --Work Order Line Detail #3 --Work Order Line Detail #etc --(Parts) --Work Order Line Parts #1 --Work Order Line Parts #2 --Work Order Line Detail #etc WO# -WO Line # --(Details) --Work Order Line Detail #1 --Work Order Line Detail #2 --Work Order Line Detail #3 --Work Order Line Detail #etc --(Parts) --Work Order Line Parts #1 --Work Order Line Parts #2 --Work Order Line Parts #etc
I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?
There are 4 tables:
Work Order Header Work Order Line Work Order Line Details Work Order Line Requisitions
The Header has a unique PK. The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique. The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:
It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:
SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No, [Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND [Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Work Order Requisition] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order No_] AND [Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Requisition].[Work Order Line No_]
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[property_instance] ( [property_instance_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [application_id] [int] NOT NULL , [owner_id] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL , [property_id] [int] NOT NULL , [owner_type_id] [int] NOT NULL , [property_value] [ntext] NOT NULL , [date_created] [datetime] NOT NULL , [date_modified] [datetime] NULL )
I have created an 'artificial' primary key, property_instance_id. The 'true' primary key is application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id
In this specific instance - property_instance_id will never be a foreign key into another table - queries will generally use application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id in the WHERE clause when searching for a particular row - Once inserted, none of the application_id, owner_id, property_id or owner_type_id columns will ever be modified
I generally like to create artificial primary keys whenever the primary key would otherwise consist of more than 2 columns.
What do people think the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are? Do you recommend I go with the existing model, or should I remove the artificial primary key column and just go with a 4 column primary key for this table?
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. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1
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.
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?

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 . . . etc.
I've looked up Books Online on Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement.
Using the examples given in Books Online returns compilation errors. See below.
Does anyone know how to use Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement?

I have a requirment which i have partly accomplished , but could not get through completely
i have a file which comes in a standard format ending with date and seq number ,
suppose , the file name is abc_yyyymmdd_01 , for first copy , if it is copied more then once the sequence number changes to 02 and 03 and keep going on .
then i need to transform those in to new file comma delimited destination file with a name abc_yyyymmdd,txt and others counting file counting record abc_count_yyyymmdd.txt. and move it to a designated folder. and the source file is then moved to archived folder
what i have taken apprach is
script task select source file --------------------> data flow task------------------------------------------> script task to destination file
dataflow task -------------------------> does count and copy in delimited format
what is happening here is i can accomlish a regular source file convert it to delimited destination file --------> and move it to destination folder with script task .
but cannot work the dynamic pick of a source file.
please advise with your comments or solution you have
I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..
declare @table table ( ParentID INT, ChildID INT, Value float ) INSERT INTO @table SELECT 1,1,1.2
[code]....
This case ParentID - Child 1 ,1 & 2,2 and 3,3 records are called as parent where as null , 1 is child whoose parent is 1 similarly null,2 records are child whoose parent is 2 , .....
Now my requirement is to display parent records with value ascending and display next child records to the corresponding parent and parent records are sorted ascending
