I have looked everywhere for an answer for this one, so if it's out there and I've missed it, sorry.
I want to include a list of instructions with a report that I am sending out to a list of subscribers (not Data Driven, each is an individual subscription). It seems no matter how I enter the text in the Comments box, the body of the email comes out as a continuous stream of text with no line breaks, which is difficult for the recipients to read.
Is there a way to embed line breaks as a minimum, but preferrably additional formatting, in a subscription comment?
Env: Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 8.00.1042.00, <OSName>Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790.0</OSName> <OSVersion>5.2.3790.0</OSVersion>
Last week a number of reports that were working fine began rendering incorrectly when sent out in report subscription emails - they work fine when directly rendered using report manager. The weird issues include broken alignment (left instead of right), missing borders, and changed fonts.
I checked the report deployment dates and these reports have not changed since well before the issues arose. I am digging thru the event logs to see what might have changed, but has anyone seen this issue before?
I have a report that has ten pages (essentially ten different reports). Each page has one, large main chart and then three smaller charts stacked on top of each other off to the right. The layout is in landscape. When I render the report in Reporting Services, the layout looks fine. If I export it to Adobe, it is also fine. However, when the report is emailed as a PDF attachment, the main chart on each page is completely missing. Has anybody experienced something simliar? I was having issues with the layout, and decreasing the height of each page fixed everything, but created this new problem. I am using Adobe 7.0. Thank you.
Hey guys, I have a Access adp that backs onto SQL Server 2005, its taken a while but tis nearly done.
Just one last thing to figure out.. and thats how to send a email. I had a look at all the Access ways and they just wont work out for this.
So I decided to use the server to send them, I would insert/update a row into a table which has a trigger on it.
The table has amoung other things a Approved and Declined column. Both at 0 Sends an email to an Approver App 1 Dec 0 Sends on further and App 0 Dec 1 sends back to the original sender.
All I really want to know is could a trigger execute a package or something that will send the email? (Yes thats right someone isnt asking for code for once:D meh must be winter in hell)
If theres any flaws in my idea please feel free to tell me (Saves me denting the desk with my head half a week and 10 pages of code from now)
And where do I create triggers:P (Will probly have found this one in BOL by the time anyone replys)
Sorry about this but I really have no clue about triggers.. seems the site doesnt like me searching for triggers 'This page was generated in 17.03 seconds.' :P
i have a comment column which is varchar(200). when a user types any say for example a couple of small paragraph with commas , colon, hard enter key.
when i run a select statement and save it to csv file and then open with excel, if the comments has comma then i get these info in separate column and if there is hard enter key then it goes into new line.
Is there a way to get these info in one column Thanks,
Plesae tell me the MSSQL Server equivalent of the below MySQL query .create table temp2(a varchar(23) comment 'male m');What is the use of specifying a keyword 'comment' in the column definition. Will it make any difference
I want to get the latest comment for each id based on the maximum createdDate and not sure how to do this, tried to do Max but it was still returning all the rows.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Audit]( [id] [nvarchar](64) NOT NULL,
inserted a record with an identity field I had a '-- comment' right Select @data = @@identity
This select failed - @data was NULL I changed it to SET @data = @@identity This also failed @data was null
I then change to the follow which worked - Why would the different form of a comment make a difference? I was the only one in the database, there were no other changes. I could make the logic block fail or succed by just changing the comment syntax.
inserted a record with an identity field I had a '/** comment**/' right Select @data = @@identity
Hi there gurus, can you please add your 2 cents on this design? We'rehaving trouble relating these tables in a diagram because of the keys.Is it necesary to have the references setup? I would assume yes so theforign keys can be setup.If you look at this link, you'll see our diagram. In Red are therelationships that we would like to make for referential integrity, butcannot because of the keys.http://rullo.ca/linktome/QuestionsDB.jpgOur goal in all of this is to have a facility wherin we can store aquestion, that has multiple names over multiple Languages. Forinstance:-Q1| QNameID = 1 | "Do you have a dog in your appartment?" | LangID =1(eng)-Q1| QNameID = 2 | "Do you have a dog in your house?" | LangID =1(eng)-Q1| QNameID = 1 | "-French - Do you have a chien in your appartment?"| LangID = 2(fr)-Q1| QNameID = 2 | "-French - Do you have a chien in your house?" |LangID = 2(fr)The difficulty is when we try and put this in the group details table.We don't want to outline the Language, we'd just pass the language intoa proc to retreive a specific group with a specific language.

I am setting up a data driven subscription to send out an email which includes a report. The Sql for the data driven subscription outputs the EmailTo, Subject, Comment(Body) and some report parameters. My issue is with the Comment (Body) field which I would like to format with CR/LF to make the email body look neat and readable. I've tried many different permutations of inserting the CR/LF, From concatenating Char(13) + Char(10) in which the email does recognize the Cr/LF to concatenating binary 0x0D + 0x0A which after the first concatenation of binary nothing else can be concatenated. Here is the code I've tried: ---~~~~~~~~ declare @iEndDate datetime set @iEndDate = dbo.fn_today() Declare @Account_group int Set @Account_group = 999 /* DECLARE @mybin1 binary(5), @mybin2 binary(5) SET @mybin1 = 0x0D SET @mybin2 = 0x0A */ Declare @CrLf VarChar(5) set @CrLf = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) Declare @Str1 VarChar(255) Declare @Str2 VarChar(255) Declare @Str3 VarChar(255) Declare @Str4 VarChar(255) Declare @Str5 VarChar(255) Declare @Str6 VarChar(255) Declare @Str7 VarChar(255) Declare @Str8 VarChar(255) Declare @Str9 VarChar(255) Set @Str1 = 'Good Morning,' Set @Str2 = 'We are exposed by ' Set @Str3 = 'Attached please find the margin call detail.' Set @Str4 = 'Please let us know if you have any questions.' Set @Str5 = 'Thank you.' Set @Str6 = 'Please respond to:' Set @Str7 = '' Set @Str8 = '' Set @Str9 = '' declare @t table ( EmailTo VarChar(255), ReplyTo VarChar(255), Subject VarChar(255), Comment Text, Account_group Int, Trading_Account_Id Int, Broker_Code_Ky VarChar(255), EndDate Datetime ) insert into @t select EmailTo = '', -- isnull(bf.firm_email,''), ReplyTo = '', Subject = 'Margin Call Notice: - ' + Trading_account_name + ' - Exposure: ' + '$' + Convert(varchar(20), convert(Money, Mark_amount),1) , Comment = @Str1 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str2 + '$' + Convert(varchar(20), convert(Money, Mark_amount),1) + '.' + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str3 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str4 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str5 + @CrLf + @CrLf + @Str6 + @CrLf + @Str7+ @CrLf + @Str8 + @CrLf + @Str9, Account_group = @Account_group, Trading_Account_Id = trading_account_Id, Broker_Code_Ky = EGS.Broker_Code_Ky, EndDate = @iEndDate from fni_ExposureGovernmentSummary (@iEndDate) EGS join broker_group bg on EGS.broker_code_ky = bg.broker_code_ky Join broker_firm bf on bg.fbe_firm_id = bf.broker_firm_id Order by Broker_Group_Name, Trading_account_Name select top 2 * from @t

The Email my company is using is Lotus Notes.
The Question is how do I code the the Comment field so that my email will recognize the Cr/LF.
I have a report where I have to display State, Category Name and the text. Below is the sample report
State Category Name Text
TX Unanticipated High NT due to RADD clean up- drive replacement.
NJ Unanticipated SAR efforts (SEM configuration)
But now my question is if there is no comment in any other state I would like to show no comment in the text line. Is there any formula I can use in the report level that will take care of the issue. I know in Business object there is a formula you can create which is =If (IsNull([Text]);"No Comments Reported";[Text]). I need to know in ssrs there is something.
please let me know ASAP and the steps of doing that.
We just encountered an odd failure in ADODB. If it gets an SQL query with a comment embedded in it, and the comment has an apostrophe as one of the characters, ADODB gets confused as it tries to plug in parameters for placeholders later in the query. For example:
SELECT id, name
FROM doc_type /* this won't work! */
WHERE name LIKE ?
If you take out the apostrophe ("this will not work!") or move the comment to follow the placeholder, the query works.
I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2 and I am getting an SQL error due to the server not recognizing the "--" as a comment. (I am using the 32-bit version) The same code runs on SQL Server 2000 with no problem.
Is there a setting to correct this? Do I need to install the cumulative update pkg 3 to correct this problem?
It seems to me that if a scheduled SSRS report subscription fails ( Status Message - An error has occurred during report processing) , that I actually need to delete the subscription and reconfigure it from scratch. The scheduled job doesn't try to run again automatically (say the next Monday on a weekly Monday schedule).
Is there a way to "reset" a failed subscription without have to recreate the entire subscription?
Existing subscription already contains table included in the new subscription.
What are the possible causes of this merge replication error? Could it be caused by a SQL Server Compact Edition User trying to sync their .sdf file after their subscription has already expired on the SQL Server?
Would you expect to see a different message if a SQL Server Compact Edition user tried to sync a subscriber database (.sdf file) with merge replication if it's been longer than the subscription retention period since their last sync?
My God! What happens if I miss a step, or put it in a different order??? I know I can specify ORDER BY StepID, but what about a missing step? I do have "missing ranges" script, but posting questions filtered through the script process may become a full-time job in itself...What to do, what to do...
Hi,Is there anyone encountered this error before & how it is being resolved?[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Missing end comment mark '*/'The error pops-up when I was running a DTS Import/Export from a SQL server(source) to another SQL server (destination) residing on a differentmachine.

I have a field that contains some text. Each field will have none or atleast one comment in it. A comment can be a string of any length with *** on both sides. Ex: ***comment***
Declare @Test_tbl Table(TextField Text) Insert Into @Test_tbl Select 'Some text ***comment*** some more text' Union all Select 'Other text ***another comment*** more and more text' Union all Select '***Comment*** some text ***More Comments***' Union all Select 'some text with no comment'
I need the output be ...
TextField -------------- Some text some more text Other text more and more text some text some text with no comment
All- I'm a newbie working on a VWD project. A couple questions arose when attempting to work with a project's dataset and its underlying SQL Server Express database:
Is it true that when changing the schema of a database in SQL Server Express through the VWD Database Explorer, one must take care to manually make parallel changes in the dataset? For example, if you make a relation between two tables in Database Explorer, you must do the same with the counterpart tables in the dataset? For example, I find that if I delete or create a relationship between two tables in the database, I must manually do the same in the dataset.
i am testing some encryption scenarios ,in profiler the statements like "OPEN KEY" and all "Encrypt" and "Decrypt" functions are removed automaticly from the trace and replaced with a comment ,create a trace and try the code i attached , you will see in profiler trace that that all encryption related commands are commented out ,this is what expected.
but now go to the batch and comment out the "SELECT @rrr' statment, and run the batch ,this batch will fail beacuse "@rrr" is not declared, now go back to profiler and you will see that for the failed batch all the encryption command are NOT COMMENTED OUT !!! esspecially important is the visibility of the password of the open key command.
seems like a very dangerous bug to me!!!

I have recently started using replication in SQL 2012 SP1. When a stored procedure is altered on the source, the changes are replicated to the subscribers; however, the comment headers are removed at the subscribers. Due to the vast number of stored procedures I have, I do not want to move the comments below the Create Procedure statement. Are there any other ways to have comment header move with the stored procedures?
Here is what I am experiencing
Source SP
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPTest] AS BEGIN SELECT GETDATE() END
Destination SP
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPTest] AS BEGIN SELECT GETDATE() END
I am completely new to SSIS and have been given a large project (of course with a tight deadline) that has the absolute requirement of using SSIS. I am/was very, very good with DTS and could easily accomplish what I need to do with an ActiveX script task in DTS in no time, but as this is new development, we are not to use ActiveX script tasks within SSIS since it will not be supported in the next SQL Server release. I'm thinking script task, but please give some comments on how you would accomplish the following in SSIS (please remember I'm new to SSIS, so don't assume I know anything. )
I must accomplish this: in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and we have X amount of regions. (Pseudo code followed by standard explanation)
Select a max value from region lookup table in SQL (this is the # of regions)
for N=1 to MyMaxValue
select states from region lookup table where region code = N (the current region we are on) 'this returns a list of states in a region, need these in array or recordset object or something Open an output file which will be a tab delimited text file we will write results below in loop to (in DTS I would programatically kick off a transformation task in the package) 'loop thru states returned, so if in a rs object... do while not rs.eof
execute customer stored procedure, passing as a variable the current state we are on 'this will return all customers within a state, this whole result set (approx 1 million) needs to go to the tab delimited file 'I have to execute this stored procedure for each state & then write results to the SAME file, until we are onto a different region
rs.movenext close file loop next
OK, so basically, as you can see, Its sort of simple in a way what I need to do, i just have no idea how to go about doing this in SSIS. I can not hard code any state or region values. I MUST read them in from the lookup tables as region codes are constanatly changing and we are constantly adding in new states and new regions, so with above coding idea, it would always dynamically pick up any new states, new regions or changes.
So in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and there are X amount of regions. Pretty strait forward, huh? The requirements are strait forward, but SSIS is throwing me for a loop... it does not seem flexible enough to be as dynamic as I need it to be to do this. I'm sure it is, just my understanding of it is very basic so far.
Please provide your suggestions! I think a lot of newbies would benefit from some SSIS design info... how to do common things in SSIS, but beyond just retrieving a recordset and writing it to a file... what do you do when you need to add just a few layers of decision processing, and retriving recordsets and writing files based on that decision processing?????
Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.
I'm working as a consultant for a project and I have been having constant issues with the in house "database guru" about stored procedure formating.
He insists I use a format similar to this:
create procedure getUser @UserId int = NULL as select UserName , UserPassword , UserRole from Users join UserRole on User.ID = UserRole.ID where User.ID = @UserID and User.Active = 1
where as I prefer this format:
create procedure getUser ( @UserId int = NULL ) as select UserName, UserPassword, UserRole from Users join UserRole on User.ID = UserRole.ID where User.ID = @UserID and User.Active = 1
Now normally I don't argue about style issues but I find his format confusing and it bothers me that it senselesly wastes lines make the stored procedure longer than necessary.
I'd love to get some comments on this issue or reference to any discussions on issues such as this.
Hello - Does anyone know why SQL Server Reporting Services formatts SQL weird? -- If I type a SQL statement in notepad or notepad++ and then paste it in Reporting Services it will change the whole structure and "expand" it out to three or four times its size. Thanks Adam
I need to show my SUM of the 2 columns added in the query below formatted as currency. Is this possible? SELECT SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV I tried: SELECT CONVERT(varchar(12), SUM(QVSTDN + QVNONC) , 1) AS Total FROM INVOICE_TBL WHERE QVORDN = @QVORDN AND QVINV = @QVINV But this does not format it as currency. Any input would be helpful.
I imported data from a text file, where dates are currently in the format: 050729 to represent July 29, 2005. How could I write a sql statment to put make this show up as 07/29/05?
