Dynamic Parameters

May 22, 2008

I have a report that i want to beable to do some dynamic paramaters on it. I have a start and end date of when they want to run the report but i also have a mulivalue list box for users filtering for users. I want to add a supervisor filter on form also. But I have a problem.

I want to allow the users to select a supervisor and filter for all employees under that, or allow them to select a set of users and allow them to filter for that also. Also i would like when they select no supervisor or user it just filters for the dates and picks all up all the users.

I thought i could do something like in access like this Like UserName & "*"
but it doesnt work.

Here is my dataset code i am using currently:
SELECT U.Name, A.row_date, A.split, A.SumOfti_stafftime, A.AHT, A.AvgACW, A.AvgACD, A.AvailTime, A.SplitSkill_Incalls, A.SplitSkill_Outcalls, A.SumOfacdtime,
A.SumOfti_othertime, A.SumOfacwtime, A.SumOfti_auxtime0, A.SumOfti_auxtime1, A.SumOfti_auxtime2, A.SumOfti_auxtime3, A.SumOfti_auxtime4,
A.SumOfti_auxtime5, A.SumOfti_auxtime6, A.SumOfti_auxtime7, A.SumOfti_auxtime8, A.SumOfti_auxtime9, U.Sup
FROM tblAvayaDaily AS A RIGHT OUTER JOIN
tblUsers AS U ON A.logid = U.[Avaya ID]
WHERE (A.split = 1651) AND (U.Name IN (@UserName)) AND (A.row_date BETWEEN @rDateStart AND @rDateEnd) OR
(A.split = 1655) AND (U.Name IN (@UserName)) AND (A.row_date BETWEEN @rDateStart AND @rDateEnd) OR
(A.split = 1653) AND (U.Name IN (@UserName)) AND (A.row_date BETWEEN @rDateStart AND @rDateEnd)

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

Dynamic SQL And Parameters

Feb 15, 2008

I am currently working on a project that involves creating dynamic insert and update statements for dynamically created tables. The tables I am creating the statements for could have up to 1000 columns.

Obviously building the entire insert/update SQL string dynamically in VB.Net and sending it to the Sql server leaves the system vulnerable to injection attack or error caused by single quotes in strings.

I am using the Patterns and Practices Data Application block for my data access.

What I am considering is creating the dynamic sql as a statement with the columns names and values in as parameters (@XXXXX) and then looping through my list of columns and values and adding them as by AddInParameters on the DbCommand.

- Can it handle such large amount of parameters at all?
- What kind of structure does ADO.net send to the SQL server? i.e. Will using so many parameters mean that the data communicated to the SQL server from the webserver by the parameter method would be much larger than the substituted dynamic sql string?
- How does ADO.NET/SQL Server 2005 perform with such large amounts of parameters on a DBCommand?


Any advice as to whether this is a viable way to proceed would be much appreciated.

Oh yeah... I am using VB.NET in VIsual Studio 2005 with a SQL Server 2005 DB.

Thanks

What Is Faster: Dynamic Sql WITH Or WITHOUT Parameters?

Mar 19, 2004

Here is he issue.

* We have a DAL that generates all SQL dynamically out of a nobject model. Standard very powerfull O/R mapper.
* In the DAL, for CRUD operations, we generate the statements dynamically. As an example, let's take INSERT.
* The insert is generated ONCE, with parameters, and cached. For every reuse, the parameters are replaced (in value), and the whole thing commited.

I see hte following negative: I can not easily batch multiple inserts. Parameters have to be unique per batch. So, if I want to batch two inserts, I need two sets of parameters.

Alternative:

Instead of generating the SQL with parameters, we generate the SQL as a string ready to be inserted for / with a String.Format, and then I encode the parameters and make one SQL String out of this. Now, please - don't say "sql injection", we are not that stupid, the layer handles this already, properly encoding all dangerous values.

With this approach, the SQL statement would be a string and not use any parameter. As a result, I could batch them up as much as I want (ok, up to a certain string size). I need to keep parameters around anyway (for blobs etc.), but most objects do not have blobs, and the SQL is prettty small. This small SQL could be batched significantly (100 statements per batch, propably mode) and be submitted to the database. As a result, the round trips to the databae would go down.

Now, my question is - which of the two approaches is more advisable, from a performance point of view? Again, stuff like SQL injection and ease of handling are totally irrelevant - the SQL never leaves the DAL and is generated in there, and we will go through a lot of complexitiy for higher performance.

Normally I would say batching should be better. SQL Server can auto-parameterize the statements (reusing the query plan), and / but the network round trips are the larger issue here.

Any comments on this?

MDX PeriodsToDate() W/dynamic Parameters

Nov 15, 2005

Hi All,

I'm trying to write a formula (actually, four) which will be used in Panorama NovaView to allow a user to see Revenue (on rows) by Previous Month (Current Year), Previous Month (Previous Year), Current YTD (ending at month in question), Previous YTD (ending at month in question) (on columns -- not necessarily in that order).

Basically, when run anytime during November 2005, the output would look like:

2004 Total | Oct 2004 | 2005 Total | Oct 2005
$ 100,000 | 15,000 | 120,000 | 17,500

The Dimension I'm working with is [Calendar Year], with levels: (All), [Calendar Year], [Calendar Month], [Calendar Week].

I've been focusing on the formula for the first column, since it is the most complex (I think). Here's the jist of what I am trying to do:

SELECT Measures.Revenue ON ROWS,
<<Last Year>>.January : <<Last Year>>.<<LastMonth>> ON COLUMNS
FROM SalesCube

I believe some combination of PeriodsToDate(), LastPeriod() and/or <<Current Year>>.PrevMember & <<Current Month>>.PrevMember is what I need, but I just can't get the syntax right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dynamic Optional Parameters

Feb 13, 2008

Good day,

I have an issue on constructing dynamic WHERE conditions that use OPTIONAL parameters.

SP_SOMETHING (
1) @DateFrom datetime,
@DateTo datetime,
2) @Param1 char(8),
3) @Param2 char(3),
4) @Param3 tinyint
)

I would like to use a where clause that can make use of any combination of the 4 parameters (the two dates should be together)

1 2 3 4
/ x x x
x / x x
x x / x where x = not supplied
/ = supplied a value

(and so the list continues)
Can anybody assist me or give me insights on how to go about this complicated WHERE construct without listing all the probable combinations of the supplied parameters in series of IF statements.

thank you

Dynamic Capabilities With Parameters

Jan 22, 2007

Hello all,

I have a winform application, where in we get the parameters from the reporting service and we display them in a panel for user's to input their criteria. So far everything worked good, but now we have a requirement wherein dynamic functionality is needed.

For Example:

Based on a selection of a combobox value, we want the other control to be enabled or disabled. Also we want default value of a control to be calculated based on another control's value like .. if user enters value "1" in textbox1 then texbox 2 should have default value of "6". (Textbox1 + 5).........and mix and match of such capabilities.

The Question is........IS IT POSSIBLE??? and if yes...HOW!!!

ADOMD.NET : Dynamic Parameters

Mar 27, 2007

Logically speaking, the two cases below should behave the same. However case 2's output is wrong. Perhaps someone knows what's wrong in case 2.



Case 1:
-------------
AdomdCommand cmd = new AdomdCommand();
conn.Open();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Cluster(), PredictCaseLikelihood()" +
" FROM [Data Validation]" +
" NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN" +
" (SELECT " +
" (SELECT @var0 as [var] " +
" UNION SELECT @var1 as [var] " +
" UNION SELECT @var2 as [var]) AS [vartable]) AS t";





Case 2
-------------
AdomdCommand cmd = new AdomdCommand();
conn.Open();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Cluster(), PredictCaseLikelihood()" +
" FROM [Data Validation]" +
" NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN" +
" (SELECT " +
" (SELECT @var0 as [var] ";
for(int i=1; i<3; i++)
{
cmd.CommandText = cmd.CommandText +
"UNION SELECT @var" + i.ToString() + " as [var] ";
}
cmd.CommandText = cmd.CommandText + ") AS [vartable]) AS t";

Dynamic Order By W/ Additional Parameters

Jan 16, 2006

I have a stored procedure that uses a dynamic order by statement.  This statement works okay until I try to select ticket's by userEmail which is passed in to my stored procedure as a parameter.  Here is the code that works for my dynamic sort order:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectAllTickets]
@SortOrder varchar(250)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
Exec('SELECT a.TicketID, a.TicketDate, a.TicketName, a.TicketDescription, a.statusID, a.resolutionID, a.userID,
b.typeID, b.typeName,
c.userID, c.UserFirstName,
f.statusID, f.statusName
FROM Tickets a
LEFT OUTER JOIN Type b ON b.typeID = a.typeID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Users c ON c.userID = a.userID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Status f ON f.statusID = a.statusID
ORDER BY ' + @SortOrder)
I modied this procedure to create one in which I select tickets based on the userEmail as a criteria as well.. this one fails due to Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BY'
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectTicketByUser]@SortOrder varchar(250),@userEmail varchar(50)
AS   SET NOCOUNT ON   Exec('SELECT a.TicketID, a.TicketDate, a.TicketName, a.TicketDescription, a.statusID, a.resolutionID, a.userID,  b.typeID, b.typeName,  c.userID, c.UserFirstName, c.userEmail,  f.statusID, f.statusName      FROM Tickets a  LEFT OUTER JOIN Type b ON b.typeID = a.typeID LEFT OUTER JOIN Users c ON c.userID = a.userID LEFT OUTER JOIN Status f ON f.statusID = a.statusID WHERE a.statusID <> 40 AND c.userEmail = ' + @userEmail + 'ORDER BY ' + @SortOrder)
Any ideas on what syntax I should be using? Thanks!

Dynamic Query With Multi-value Parameters

Jun 1, 2008

Is anybody here knowing how to create a dynamic query based on a multi-value parameter?

e.g. there is a multi-value report parameter called names. For a static query, the where clause of a select statement likes the following

select * from students where name=@names

For the dynamic one, I tried something like the below, but it did not work.

="select * from students where name=(" & Join(Parameters!names ,',') & ")"

Any suggestion would be great appreciated.



Thanks,

The Dynamic SQL Statements With Output Parameters

Nov 15, 2005

The dynamic SQL statements with output parameters, unfortunately, in the documentation are not described.
À) Simple example of the dynamic SQL statement with output parameters

-- dynamic SQL statements expects parameter of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'.
declare @SQLString nvarchar(4000), @ParmDefinition nvarchar(4000)
-- the third parameter passed in the dynamic statement as by output, returns the length of
-- the hypotenuses of a right triangle, two first parameters are lengths of legs of a triangle
declare @nHypotenuse float
select @SQLString = 'select @nHypotenuse = sqrt(square(@nLeg1_of_a_triangle)+square(@nLeg2_of_a_triangle))',
@ParmDefinition = '@nLeg1_of_a_triangle float, @nLeg2_of_a_triangle float, @nHypotenuse float out'
-- we call the dynamic statement in such a way
exec sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, @nLeg1_of_a_triangle = 3.0, @nLeg2_of_a_triangle = 4.0, @nHypotenuse = @nHypotenuse out
-- or in such a way
exec sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, 3.0, 4.0, @nHypotenuse out
select @nHypotenuse -- Displays 5.0


B) Example of usage of the dynamic statement with output parameter and the function GETALLWORDS.
The following stored procedure get all words from a field of the type text or ntext, the word length should not exceed 4000 characters.

CREATE PROCEDURE SP_GETALLWORDSFROMTEXT
@TableName sysname, @FieldIdName sysname, @FieldIdValue sql_variant, @FieldTextName sysname, @cDelimiters nvarchar(256) = NULL
AS
-- this Stored procedure inserts the words from a text field into the table.
-- WORDNUM int – Sequence number of a word
-- WORD nvarchar(4000) – the word
-- STARTOFWORD int – position in the text field, with which the word starts
-- LENGTHOFWORD smallint – length of the word
-- Parameters
-- @TableName name of the table with the text or ntext field
-- @FieldIdName name of Id field
-- @FieldIdValue value of Id field
-- @FieldTextName name of field text or ntext
-- @cDelimiters Specifies one or more optional characters used to separate words in the text field

Dynamic Selection Of Multivalued Parameters

May 4, 2007

Hi All,

I Hope someone can help me out with this problem.. its pretty NB.

I have a pair of multivalued parameters. So, parent and child... the child needs to get its selection based on the selection made by the user on the parent parameter ( the child parameter is hidden).

Fictional values:
Parent Parameter: SelectAll, ALL , 1 , 2
Child Parameter: Home, Work, Play

If user selects "ALL" from the parent parameter I need Home and Play selected.

My idea was this:
=iif(Parameters!Parent.Value(1) = "All","Home,Play") <-- in Available values.

However, the dataset that reads this value does not like the coma delimited string.
This dataset is a cube created dataset, reading the child parameter.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Neil

Can I Create Dynamic Report Parameters?

Apr 4, 2007

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a report with dynamic parameters or parameters dependant on other ones? I have the following scenario -



Parameter 1 - 'Select an Application' - List of applications that are available

Parameter 2 - 'Select a module' - This is a list of modules that needs to depend on Parameter 1. As a user selects different applications, the appropriate module list will be loaded.

Is this possible to do in SSRS?



Thanks,

Brian

Newbi To SQL - Can Stored Procedure Parameters Be Dynamic?

Mar 30, 2005

I have only one table (Products) with 3 columns, PKID(int), CompanyID(int) and Product Name(nvarchar). The products table fills a CheckBoxList Control; the values of the ListItem's are the PKID of the Products Table.
When a user ticks the check boxes to search for products, I generate a comma deliminated string of ONLY CHECKED products. For example I now have a string "3,5,4,6" which represent the Product PKID's. We can assume the values are not in order.
My question is: Without knowing how many values are parsed to the stored procedure. How can I query the Products table for the CompanyID's?
I've been banging my head for days thinking how to structure such a DB, Stored Procedures and HTML Controls. Am I going about this the wrong way, some advice would be really appriciated.
Kind Regards.

Scheduling To Email A Report With Dynamic Parameters

Feb 8, 2006

Hello,

I have a report that uses a begin date and an end date as paremeters along with a user's email adddress to generate thier schedule for the coming week. I would like to schedule this report to run at the beginning of the week and email to each user based on thier email address. So the parameters will be system.date +1 and system.date+6 and user email. I have the users email addresses in a table so the 3rd parameter could be a "for each email in table users...". Is this posssible? Should it be in Report services or a scheduled Stored Procedure? Any help with syntax will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dynamic Data Set Parameters During Report Run Time

May 25, 2007

I need to pass the out put from a stored procedure as an input parameter to another stored procedure. I created a data set for each stored procedure. Fron the second data set parameter tab, I added a parameter to refer to the field from the first data set.

I get the error Fiels can not be used in query parameter expressions.

I tried two simple queries instead of stored procedures with first query feeding the second query. I get the same error. Is there any other other way to accomplish this?

Thank You.

Jul 6, 2001

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of being able to send an
unlimited amount of parameters to a stored proc and having the stored proc
detect how many parameters were sent?

Example:
1) calling the stored proc with 2 strings:
exec sp_myproc "a","b"

2) calling the stored proc with 7 strings:
exec sp_myproc "a","b","c","d","e","f","g"

The following sp_myproc would need to be able to support an unlimited amount
of parameters as well as detect how many were sent...

Thanks in advance for any help and/or code samples given!

Report Page Width With Dynamic Columns Through Parameters

Apr 18, 2007

I found the following paragraph while searching on here:

************************************************************************
You could easily set up a parameter for each column and then display that column conditionally based on the parameter.

For instance, if you have a column that displays First Name, you could have a parameter called DisplayFirstName. Then in design view you'd select the whole FirstName column and in the Visibility-Hidden property set it to :

=iif( Parameters!DisplayFirstName.Value = false, true, false )

This could easily become a big, unwieldy report, though, if you have a great number of dynamic columns. Also, The width of the report is set at design time, and it includes the width of all your columns, not just the visible ones. This could cause you some pagination problems.
************************************************************************

That is exactly my problem. I have lots of dynamic columns which causes the width of the report to be wide. Thus even though at run time the report only shows columns within a page, the report itself consists of a lot of white spaces after the selected columns. Does anyone know a solution to this? If not, I guess creating the rdl with code manually is the only way? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Drop-down Parameters In Custom .net Web Page Error

Feb 7, 2008

Hi,

I created one report with 5 dynamic drop down parameters. The first parameter is passed from URL and the other's parameter drop downs should get populated based on the first one. These 4 parameters default to some value which I defined.
Everything is working fine in the Report Manager but when the report is integrated in a web page I am getting some problems.
After the drop-downs are populated and the user wants to filter down by using different values in the drop down, causes the report to generate automatically and all the dropdowns are reset to default.
Have you had this problem before? Anyone can advise me how to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance!

Reporting Services :: Dynamic Columns Based On Parameters

Aug 21, 2015

I am trying to use SSRS to allow users to select any one or several columns from a set of cascading parameters which will then do a "data dump" of the contents of the selected columns for "export".I know how to do cascading parameters, but I am having problems coming up with a way of using the parameters to dynamically build a matrix which has as its columns the list selected in the parameters. I need the user to choose WHICH columns will be displayed.  There could be 1, 2, 3, up to 50 columns.

Two Multi-value Parameters That Are Bounded To Dynamic Datasets (using Vbscript.)

May 1, 2008


I have a report with a multi-value parameter that gets its values (value and label fields) from a dataset that is built at runtime (from vbscript code that returns a string).
When I press 'preview' all works fine.
When I add another multi-value parameter that (like the first parameter) gets its value from a dataset that is built at runtime (from vbscript code that returns a string) and press 'preview', I get a strange behavior:
The second parameter is disabled until I choose an option for the first parameter.
I do not pass value from the first parameter to the second and the two variables have 'Null' in the default values and 'from query' in the available values.

Why does the second parameter is disabled and how can I avoid it?
Thanks in advance.

1 SP With Dynamic Input Parameters And Multiple Rows As The Source Of The Query

Dec 4, 2005

How can I run a single SP by asking multiple sales question eitherby using the logical operator AND for all the questions; or usingthe logical operator OR for all the questions. So it's alwayseither AND or OR but never mixed together.We can use Northwind database for my question, it is very similarto the structure of the problem on the database I am working on.IF(SELECT OBJECT_ID('REPORT')) IS NOT NULLDROP TABLE REPORT_SELECTIONGOCREATE TABLE REPORT_SELECTION(AUTOID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,REPSELNO INT NOT NULL, -- Idenitifies which report query this-- "sales question" is part ofSupplierID INT NOT NULL, -- from the Suppliers tableProductID INT NOT NULL, -- from the Products table, if you choose--a ProductID, SupplierID is selected also by inheritenceCategoryID INT NOT NULL, -- from the Categories tableSOLDDFROM DATETIME NULL, -- Sold from which dateSOLDTO DATETIME NULL, -- Sold to which dateMINSALES INT NOT NULL, -- The minimum amount of salesMAXSALES INT NOT NULL, -- The maximum amount of salesOPERATOR TINYINT NOT NULL -- 1 is logical operator AND, 2 is OR)GOINSERT INTO REPORT_SELECTIONSELECT 1, 1, 2, 1, '1/1/1996', '1/1/2000', 10, 10000, 1 UNION ALLSELECT 1, -1, -1, 1, '1/1/1996', '1/1/2000', 10, 1000, 1You can ask all kinds of sales questions like:1-I want all employees that sold products from supplierID 1(Exotic Liquids), specifically the ProductID 2 (Chang) from theCategoryID 1 (Beverages) between Jan 1 1996 to Jan 1 2000 and soldbetween $10 and $10000 - AND for my 2nd sales question2-I want all employees that sold CategoryID 1 (beverages) betweenJan 1 1996 to Jan 1 2000 and sold between $10 and $1000I want to get the common result of both questions and find outwhich employee(s) are in this list.Here are some of the points:1-I want my query to return the list of employees fitting theresult of my sales question(s).2-If I ask three questions with the logical operator AND, I wantthe list of employees that are common to all three questions.3-If I ask 2-3-4. questions with the logical operator OR, I wantthe list of employees that are in the list of the 1st "successful"sales question (the first question that returns any employee isgood enough)4-You can ask all kind of sales question you want even if theycontradict each other. The SP should still run and returnnothing if that is the case.5-Let's assume you can have the same product name from the samesupplier but under different categories. So entering a ProductIDshould not automatically enter the CategoryID also; whereasentering the ProductID should automatically enter its SupplierID.6-SOLDFROM, SOLDTO, MINSALES, MAXSALES, OPERATOR are mandatoryfields, you can't leave them NULL7-SupplierID, ProductID and CategoryID are the dynamic inputparameters, there can be 5 different combinations to choose from:a-SupplierID onlyb-SupplierID and a ProductID,c-SupplierID and a CategoryIDd-SupplierID, ProductID and a CategoryIDe-CategoryID onlyf-Any time you choose a ProductID, the SupplierID valuewill be filled automatically based on the ProductID'srelationshipg-Any of the three values here that is not chosen by theuser will take a default value of -1 (meaning return ALLfor this Column, in other words don't filter by this column)The major problem I have is I can't use dynamic SQL for choosingthe three dynamic columns as the 2nd row of records would have adifferent selection of dynamic columns (at least I don't know howif the solution is dynamic SQL). The only solution I can think oflooks pretty bad to me. I would use a cursor, run each row at atime, store a TRUE, FALSE value to stop processing or not andstore the result in another detail table. Then if all ANDquestions have ended with TRUE do a union of all the result andreturn the common list of employees. It sounds pretty awful as anapproach. I am hoping there's a simpler method for achieving this.Does anyone know if any SQL book has a topic on this type ofquery? If so I'll definitely buy the book.I appreciate any help you can provide.Thank you

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.

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?

ADO.NET 2-VB 2005 Express Form1:Printing Output Of Returned Data/Parameters From The Parameters Collection Of A Stored Procedure

Mar 12, 2008

Hi all,
From the "How to Call a Parameterized Stored Procedure by Using ADO.NET and Visual Basic.NET" in http://support.microsft.com/kb/308049, I copied the following code to a project "pubsTestProc1.vb" of my VB 2005 Express Windows Application:


Imports System.Data

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Imports System.Data.SqlDbType

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim PubsConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;integrated security=sspi;" & "initial Catalog=pubs;")

Dim testCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("TestProcedure", PubsConn)

testCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

Dim RetValue As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("RetValue", SqlDbType.Int)

RetValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue

Dim auIDIN As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("@au_idIN", SqlDbType.VarChar, 11)

auIDIN.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input

Dim NumTitles As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("@numtitlesout", SqlDbType.Int)

NumTitles.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output

auIDIN.Value = "213-46-8915"

PubsConn.Open()

Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = testCMD.ExecuteReader()

Console.WriteLine("Book Titles for this Author:")

Do While myReader.Read

Console.WriteLine("{0}", myReader.GetString(2))

Loop

myReader.Close()

Console.WriteLine("Return Value: " & (RetValue.Value))

Console.WriteLine("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value))

End Sub

End Class

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The original article uses the code statements in pink for the Console Applcation of VB.NET. I do not know how to print out the output of ("Book Titles for this Author:"), ("{0}", myReader.GetString(2)), ("Return Value: " & (RetValue.Value)) and ("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value)) in the Windows Application Form1 of my VB 2005 Express. Please help and advise.
