I created a report model with a single "data source view." The datasource view has three tables "Business, XRef, Employee" and a named query "PeopleCount" based on these tables. The smdl [design] view shows "Business, XRef,Employee" as "entities" and does not show the named query from the "data source view" (I don't know if that is normal). I published this report model to the reporting server (its showed "success").
I then used Report Builder to open the report model as a "chart", and it shows there is only one entity for me to play with, its called "XRef." Why do the other tables ("Business" and "Employee") not show up in the Report Builder's list of entities?
My own guess is that "XRef" is the only "actionable" table for making a chart. Indeed, I notice that among its "fields" is one called "Business Title" (which apparently comes from the Business table). But I also notice it does not have an "Employee Name." Why have the former and not the latter? Again, my own guess is that the type of the Employee.Name field, a nvarchar(MAX), might be considered unusable for reporting, since it is a "max" size. Thoughts?
I am using SQL Server 2005 RTM, which is running on Win 2K3 Server SP1.
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered, though I haven't found it via search.
In my report model I have a lookup entity that consists of a Code field (PK) and a Description field this is linked to a parent entity (table) and works fine, e.g. the description is shown in the parent entity instead of the FK code. However this lookup entity would be useful linked to many other entities (tables) which use the same FK code linked to the lookup entity's Code field (PK) for use of the Description field. In my first attempt I linked the lookup to a second table entity but unlike the originally linked table entity, this is not shown as the description in report builder, only the role appears and I have to select the role then the description from the 2 fields displayed (Code, Description), additionally I get shown the related first table entity.
Firstly can a lookup entity be linked to multiple tables? Secondly, if so am I forgetting something so only the description is shown like in the first linked table entity? Thirdly, if I correct the problem is there a property I need to enable/disable to stop the first linked table entity appearing in the second table entity entity list in report builder or should I just leave it?
Any help/advice/suggestions would be appreciated, and apologies for long list of questions but all the books and help files I have used don't seem to use imperfect/real life data sources and examples.
Hi, I’ve three questions, would someone answer them please,
I have 3 entities: The book entity(BookNo,BookNmae,AuthorName,Price...etc), the MembershipCard entity(CardNo,MembershipNo,ClientNo,PublishDate,EmpNo..etc), and the Client entity(ClientNo,ClientName,ClientAddr,ClientPhoneBookNo,RequiredBookNo,..etc) 1-What is the relationship degree between them, is it ternary or binary?and Why? I'm so confused ,my answer is ternary, I made a (1:m) relationship between the clients entity and the books entity (a client may buy more than one book), (1:m) relationship between the employee entity and the books entity (an employee may sell more than one book)and a (1:m) relationship between the employee and the Client(an employee may serve more than one client(is it right or it's (M:N)). So is my answer is right or wrong, please help me to understand, I’m so confused.
2- Is the cardinality degree between the Client entity and the book entity , (0,N) for the client entity and (1:N) for the book entity??
3-What is the best model to use in designing data in general,Chen's model or Crow's Foot and why?I think it's Crow's one ,for it's more arranged and easy to read.
Why is it that only SOME of the tables in my database show up in the Entities pane?
There are a total of six tables in my database, yet only three of them are available to me in the Entities pane. I have looked at permissions, etc, and I am using the SA account. It seems like I should see either ALL or NONE of the tables, but that is not the case.
A Composite entity can be made out of two Primary Keys (PK) of two different entities. Therefore it can be called as a link table. Therefore the composite entity depends upon the other two entites. Therefore the composite entity is a exsitence dependent on the other two entities.
Dear GroupCan anyone provide a sample query for the following scenario?Let's assume I want to search for an order someone placed which mightbe an individual or company. An individuals first name is stored incolumn FirstName And the individuls last name in column LastName of thecontact table and the company name is stored in column CompanyName ofthe company table.If a user issues a query with CName parameter how can I search allthese columns and tables at the same time to see if there's a match? Imight add that there's a column in the orders table that holds0=Contact 1=Company but ideally I don't want to use this column.Thanks very much for your help and efforts.Martin
I'm attempting to design a schema for a project I working on. The idea is that I can store a list of documents and associate meta data with them.
The problem is that I don't know what that meta data will be at design time. The user will create the meta data fields in the software. For the first design I just had a table called meta field that contained the meta field defintion, and another table called itemdata that contained the document primary key, the metafield primary key and a value encoded as a varchar. This works fine while the list of documents is small.
Another idea I've thought of is to have seperate tables for all of the metafields. This would allow me to be very specific about the values that can be stored in that column etc. It also turns out that for the kind of queries I'm doing its about 4 times as fast. The only problem is that the software will need to create these tables at run time.
What I would like to know is, is this a really bad idea? If so why?. Also are there any other ways I can store this kind of data?
The kind of queries I am doing are find all the documents where metafield 1 is A and metafield 2 is B and metafield 3 is C and metafield 4 is D etc.
Our customer (of our ecommerce system) wants to be able to preservedeleted entities in the database so that they can do reporting,auditing etc.The system is quite complex where each end user can belong to multipleinstitutional affiliations (which can purchase on behalf of the user).The end user also has a rich trail of past transactions affiliationsetc. Thus in the schema each user entity is related to many otherswhich in turn relate to yet others and so on.In the past when a user was deleted all of his complex relationshipswere also deleted in a cascading fashion. But now the customer wantsus to add a "deleted" flag to each user so that a user is never_really_ deleted but instead his "deleted" flag is set to true. Thesystem subsequently behaves as if the user did not exist but thecustomer can still do reports on deleted users.I pointed out that it is not as simple as that because the user entityis related to many, many others so we would have to add this "deleted"flag to every relationship and every other entity and thus have"deleted" past purchases, "deleted" affiliations - a whole shadowschema full of such ghost entities. This would overtime degradeperformance since now each query in the system has to add a clause:"where deleted = 0".I assume this is a standard problem since many organizations must havethis need of preserving deleted records (for legal or other reasons).I tried to talk them into creating a simple audit file where all thedeletions will be recorded in XML but they were not too happy withthat.Is there a more satisfying solution to this than have this "deleted"flag?Thanks for your help,- robert
When I've deployed a report model,in Report Builder I have 4 different entities at the same level,when I drag and drop the first field from one entity after I can't see the other three entities....What did I do wrong?? I don't understand ,if you could help me it would be great.
I have a database that tracks players for children's sports clubs. I haveincluded representative DDL for this database at the end of this post.A single instance of this database supports multiple clubs. I would like toadd support for letting each club define and store custom information aboutarbitrary entities. Basically, allows the clubs to define custom entities(i.e tables) and associated custom attributes (i.e. fields) that may berelated to existing tables (such as Player and FootballClub) or existingentities. For instance, a club may define a PlayerAssessment entity thatrecords all player assessments.To do this, I plan to support the following use case:1. FootballClub admin creates a new entity and gives it a name anddescription (Entity is only accessible to this FootballClub).2. FootballClub admin indicates that the new entity has a M:1 relationshipwith the Player table (this will add Player_ID as a FK attribute).- {An entity may have no relationships.}- {Relationships are also supported to other entities.}3. FootballClub admin specifies the names and domain/types of any dataattributes (i.e. fields) of the entity.- {An attribute's type may be constrained to a few allowable types likeRelationship, Integer, Float, Currency, Date, Time, DateTime, Name,Description and Memo.}4. System creates entity as specified.A few constraints:1. Any entity defined is "private" to the defining club. Other clubs aren'taware of it although they may define custom entities of their ownwith the same name and attributes. [Perhaps there is a way to sharedefinitions of identical entities?]2. A club doesn't have to define any custom entities.Ideas I've considered:1. Generate DLL and create actual tables- Restrict such customizations such that while admin is setting up entities,no other user is allowed to use the system.- Once entity definition is complete, generate an actual table using DLL.Table and column names might be changed to enforce uniqueness/validityconstraints - this suggests a need for table/column name mapping.- PROS: Easy to implement.- CONS: Doesn't scale since only a limited number of tables can be created.DDL on a live, shared system?. Scary!!All users for all clubs will be locked out while entity iscreated.2. Generate DDL and create actual tables in secondary database(s)- Same as above except that the user tables are created in secondary [,shared] databases.- PROS: Reassurance that DDL is never run on the "core" dataAll users don't have to be locked out.- CONS: Doesn't scale since only a limited number of tables can be created.{ Unless I start creating additional databases too!. }Still needs to DDL on a live, shared system.Has anyone done anything similar?. Any ideas on how it might be done?. Inparticular, is this possible without having to execute DDL on the livedatabase?Kunle=================== BEGIN DDL ===================CREATE TABLE FootballClub (Club_ID int IDENTITY,Name char(80) NOT NULL,Area char(4) NOT NULL,League char(4) NOT NULL,City char(30) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (Club_ID))goexec sp_primarykey FootballClub,Club_IDgoCREATE TABLE Player (Player_ID int IDENTITY,First_Name char(30) NOT NULL,Initials char(30) NULL,Last_Name char(30) NOT NULL,Date_Of_Birth datetime NOT NULL,Position char(4) NULL,Club_ID int NULL,PRIMARY KEY (Player_ID),FOREIGN KEY (Club_ID)REFERENCES FootballClub)goexec sp_primarykey Player,Player_IDgoCREATE TABLE UserAccount (User_ID int IDENTITY,Club_ID int NOT NULL,FullName char(80) NOT NULL,Logon char(20) NOT NULL,PWD_Hash char(60) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (User_ID, Club_ID),FOREIGN KEY (Club_ID)REFERENCES FootballClub)goexec sp_primarykey UserAccount,User_ID,Club_IDgoexec sp_foreignkey Player, FootballClub,Club_IDgoexec sp_foreignkey UserAccount, FootballClub,Club_IDgo=================== END DDL ===================
I have configured master data services in my DB server and when i am going to explorer the entities and respected data by using navigating as below
[URL] -->Click to Explorer I am able to select data for only one default entity, in entities drop down is getting hidden back side , please find below snap to clearance.
Note: I am using Internet explorer (11.0.9600.17239) to browse the solution.
I have scoured the internet looking for someone who has run into this issue with no such luck! Product: Reporting Services 2005 Analysis Services 2005
Our users use Report Builder as an ad-hoc report tool. Data sources for Report Builder come from Report Servers and Analysis Servers.
I have run into issues where a user will select a source for their report that is based on an AS cube. When they select an attribute (field) from a selected entity in the Report Builder Explorer and drop it on the canvas, all entities except the one the field was selected from disappear.
For example:
A cube has a fact table called "Annual Income" with dimension of employee and demographics. In Report Builder, the entities would be listed in the left hand Report Builder Explorer window as
Annual Income Employee Demographics
If I select attributes from Employee or Annual Income, as usual, you will see the related hierarchies of the remaining entities. However, if I select an attribute from Demographics, then the Annual Income and Employee entities just disappear and all I can see is the Demographics entity and its attributes.
Has anyone run into this and if so, any ideas? This is becoming extremely frustrating. I have deleted and rebuild cubes, individual dimensions, and everything else I can think of.
As the page only has 21cm and the report grows horizontally, I need to repeat the WHOLE report with all of its sections after every 4 customers. So if I have 5 customers, there would be three pages(let's say every subreport takes 1 page) for the first four customers, and then another three pages(with every section once again) just for one customer.
Is it possible? It doesn't seem somehing out of the ordinary, but I can't figure how to make it work. Everytime there is more than 4 customers, the report breaks its layout trying to accommodate the records in a new table below the tables of each subreport.
The expected result would be to bring all of exceeding data to new pages.
I am trying the assign the models to the user in the user management page. But when I try to expand the + symbol next to the model and open the entities, I get the error that the object reference is not set for a object server instance.
I am still working on my project, but figured I would share my findings with the community, on how I imported my SQL Server database tables into a new SQL Compact Edition database. Unfortunately, I haven't figured a workaround to the IDENTITY_INSERT issue, but other than that, I will proceed.
1) I downloaded and played with the tool presented in the article "Generate SQL Insert statements for your SQL Server 2000 Database" I made the following modifications . (my modification can be found here) a) Disable scripting dependencies b) Add a filter for objects to script c) Prompt for each table from which to export data
2) From the scripts output by this tool, I had to (which I may integrate into the tool later... who knows) a) Remove 'On Primary' statements after the create table statements. b) Remove date defaults. c) Most other SQL generated by the tool seemed to work.
3) Execute each 'Create Table' statement individually.
4) For the Data Import, I had to add semi-colons to the end of each Insert Line.
5) I Have found no workaround for the IDENTITY_INSERT issue. If anyone has a good idea, I would love to hear it. In my case, I was importing the DotNetNuke core store module tables populated with about 2500 products and 20+ categories consisting of a simple categories table and products table. I imported the categories table into a fresh MS Access database file, and then ran the update query against the attached products table in the original SQL Database, then regenerated the insert statements, and imported the data generating fresh product ID's. This database will only be read only, so it didn't matter about maintaining the Product ID's, just the relationship between the products and categories.
Separately, I found a great blog article on how to embed a SQL script as a resource for your application and run it on your applications first run, so my steps above would provide a quick foundation for generating that sql script.
Hi i have a sorted procedure that create a @temp table that return strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur,strReponse,Percentage
I need to calculate the Percentage for strReponse for each strNomDescripteur. strReponse can be = to A,B,C, or D To calculate the Percentage i have no problem my is that something it possible that a certain strNomDescripteur that will have only A,B and D and there no C i need to put 0%.
INSERT INTO @Temp Select te.stdlastn,te.stdfirstn,COALESCE(NULLIF(REPLACE(tr.T3,'*',''),' '),REPLACE(tr.T2,'*','')),tob.Nom,tob.Affichage,td.Nom,td.Affichage fromBulletin.dbo.tblEleves as te INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblBulletin as tb ON te.stdnumber=tb.NoEtud INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblNomBull as tnb ON tb.NoBull=tnb.ID INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblSection as ts ON ts.ID_Bull = tnb.ID INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblObjetas tob ON tob.ID_Sec = ts.ID INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblDescripteur as td ON td.ID_Obj = tob.ID INNER JOIN Bulletin.dbo.tblReponse as tr ON tr.ID = tb.ID whereintActif = 1 and tb.NoBull not like '%EdPhy%' and tnb.Nom not like '%EdPhy%' and tnb.Date = '2006-2007' and te.STDGRADeID = 3 and te.schoolid = '1202' and ts.Nom = 'MATHÉMATIQUES' and tr.[Desc] = td.ID and tr.T2 <> 'NULL' and tr.T3 <> 'NULL' and (tr.T2 <> '' OR tr.T3 <> '') ORDER BY tob.Affichage,td.Affichage
SELECT t1.strNomObjet,t1.strNomDescripteur,t1.strReponse, t1.ReponseCount * 100.0/t2.PersonCount AS Percentage FROM ( SELECT strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur,strReponse,count(*) AS ReponseCount FROM @Temp GROUP BY strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur,strReponse)t1 INNER JOIN (SELECT strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur,count(*) AS PersonCount FROM @Temp GROUP BY strNomObjet,strNomDescripteur)t2 ON t2.strNomObjet=t1.strNomObjet AND t2.strNomDescripteur=t1.strNomDescripteur
This will give this result : As you can see it always A,B,C,D A,B,C,D
Except for "FORMES utilise les transformations géométriques pour" it only A,B,C there no D. So is there a way that i could insert D = 0 So if i don't find any A,B,C or D for certain strNomDescripteur put that letter = 0
Thanks for your help in advance!!

When I log in to Windows (XP Pro SP2), I get the following message displayed in the Application Event Viewer.
"The ASP.NET DLL (Path: C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.40607aspnet_isapi.dll) (Version:2.0.40607.0) is missing"
The message is quite correct in its assertion that the file is not where it says it is. There is a copy of the noted DLL however, in C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 and in C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.1.4322
Why is the Report Server looking for that particular version? Why can't it point at the later version?
I'm trying to access some files on a file server in CLR code and I have to impersonate the windows login to get permission. I am using the classic example of SqlContext and i can see that after calling the impersonate method it changes. I always get false from the System.IO Direcotry and File functions to see if there are any files or even if the directory exists. The permissions are correct on the file share and the batch submission is using the correct login.
When I sign on to my computer I get this message, MSVCR70.dll can not be found try to reinstall it this may fix the problem, BUT CAN'T find the dll that is missing to reinstall it, HOW DO I FIX THIS please HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
I have a normal nvarchar(50) field in a table that has a single comma in it but when i read it using OleDbDataReader the comma gets removed. any ideas what i am doing wrong ?

Recently I installed MSDE and then Analysis services and also applied SP3's for both...
However I have noticed that the FoodMart Database which was automatically installed previously with Analysis services is not installed. Is there any way to get that?
I need to build a results grid that reports totals or zero for an attribute
SELECT ClaimType, VendorNumber, COUNT (ClaimNumber) AS ClaimCount FROM ClaimHeader GROUP BY VendorNumber, ClaimType ORDER BY VendorNumber ASC;
THe underlying data has two claim types (UB, and HCFA). Some vendor numbers have only UB claims or only HCFA claims. I want my totals to show a zero for those vendor numbers. Example
My current group by doesn't give me the 3rd row in my example. How do I change my query to add those rows that have no claims as a zero. Put another way, every vendorNumber has to report a HCFA total and a UB total, even if they're zero.
I have encountered an issue with one of my log files which has me somewhat puzzled. I receieved notification at 00:02:16:36 that the Log file was full: The log file for database 'TDS' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.. A large number of these same messages have followed.
Prior to these messages starting the log file was backed up successfully at 00:00:01:10 Shortly after this there is a message - and this is the bit that confuses me - at 00:02:16:35 that says: d:mssqldata ds_log.ldf: Operating system error 112(error not found) encountered.
So from what I can tell the log file was backed up successfully. Then approx 1 minute later the system can't find the log file??? Then I keep getting these log file full messages - until the next log backup (60 min later)...then everything is fine. HUH?
When looking at the log file for SQL it is sitting there, and isn't new, as it's created date is back when I setup the database initially.
Can anyone shed any light on what this message might mean and whether there is specifically something that I can do to circumvent it in the future.
Oh yeah we have nothing tricky in terms of replication or log shipping or anything like that.....
Hi all, I would greatly appreciate a boost with this problem. I'm trying to 'script' the mundane task of adding descriptions to my tables (I know this can be done from Enterprise manager via Diagrams, but I have a huge (did I mention huge?) amount of tables and I really don't want to have to go to the properties of each and every table.
Now, if I read BOL right I can use sp_addextendedproperty (and here is their example):
sp_addextendedproperty 'Caption', 'Caption Test Table', 'user', dbo, 'table', TestExProp <--- Does this not add a description to the the table?
Well, I tried it and No Joy ! When I look at the table properties from the Diagram (w/in Enterprise Manager) I have a nice big EMPTY Description Box. I tried changing it from 'Caption' to 'Description' thinking that would work but alas, I sit here and wonder where I went wrong ....
What have I missed?
Any input would put me out of my misery and make me a productive individual (at least for today !)
