View 1 Replies View RelatedReporting Services - A Couple General Questions
Mar 14, 2008A couple questions about SQL Server Reporting Services:
1. Can it be used for other data sources besides SQL Server (Oracle db, XML files, via APIs, etc.)?
2. Can it do ad hoc reporting? I like the "universes" that the SAP Business Objects product allows. Does Reporting Services have something like this, to provide a simplified view that non-technical business users can use to create their own reports? Or is Reporting Services just the equivalent to Crystal Reports?
(I wanted to post this in the general MSDN forum for SQL Server, but I can never log in there for some reason.)
Some General Questions About The Managed Plugin-Algorithmn Wrapper
Dec 31, 2007Hi,
After I've written my first Plugin-Algorithmn, I have some general questions about the Managed Plugin-Algorithmn wrapper.
What does the Property "support" express in view of predictions? Is it the overall number of cases the found rule works for?
What's the difference between AdjustedProbability and Probability ?
There is a probability for a specific StateStatistic and one for the whole AttributeStatistic.
What does the latter one express? Perhaps the overall probability that the discovered rules will lead to correct results for this attribute ? Let's say I have two rules for an attribute. Rule A has a probability of 0.5 and Rule B has a probability of 0.66. What would be AdjustedProbability.Probability in the case? The mean of 0.5 and 0.66 ?
Best whishes,

General SQL Abilities...
Jan 12, 2003Hello everyone,
as you might have seen, I'm a total newbie to this Site and M$ SQL.
I browsed the forum to see if there are already matching answers to my question, with no success.
My question:
As a MySQL & PHP user I ask myself if there is a possibility to use M$ SQL the way I use MySQL and PHP!?
Is there a way to generate dynamic websites with M$ SQL 2000 and a webserver running PHP sources?
A brief yes or no would really help me, if you have any links or resources on this topic, I'd be glad to hear about it.
Thanks
Tom

General Q About Formulae
Aug 3, 2005Before I go into specifics, this is my problem. I've have a tablethat gets updated with large amounts of data on a monthly basis.Sometimes (rarely) identical rows of data are on one months import thatalready exist from the previous month. I can identify these rows from acombination of two fields (sampleID and testname).My question is this. Would it be an appropriate 'fix' if I created anew 'formula' field on the table comprising of a concatentation ofthese two fields and then made that an index field (no duplicates)? Myguess would be that if we then tried to import a record with a sampleIDand testname that already existed, then the import for that recordwould simply fail.Would this work? Is there a better way? My background is more withAccess so apologies if I'm not using the right terminology.Simon Harris

Mar 28, 2006I have a general question about transactions and commands that are replicated in a Transactional replication.
My screen shot says:
A total of 5 transaction(s) with 85 command(s) were delivered.
I know what a transaction is, but what is a command?
I am assuming a transaction is
begintrans
committrans, correct?
General Question
Sep 21, 2006I am currently upgrading my companies database from 6.5 to 2000. Including the replication. I am curious about something. Currently we are using the commands in 6.5 to do the replication instead of stored procedures. (except for one table that requires custome filters). When I reestablished replication on 2000, the default is to create stored procs on the subscribers to hande the replication. (sp_MSins_tablename). My question whether anybody knows why it defaults to using sp's? Is there a reason or is that just the way it is. I want to know if using sp's is better than just sing the commands before I change my setup.
Thanks for any responses.

General Question About RS
Jul 16, 2007Hello,
Can someone please answer the following questions:
1) Am I correct that SSRS 2005 can access a remote data source on SQL Server 2000? (this one I'm pretty sure about). I'm also trying to determine whether I can move up to SSRS 2008 when it is released and keep running all the same report types against SQL 2000.
2) Where is the bulk of the reporting services calculations performed (e.g. NOT the database query itself)? The Reporter Server? Or the Reporter Server Database?
3) Is it advisable to have the Report Server and Report Server Database on the same server? How do people typically handle this?
4) Is it advisable to have the Report Server and the Datasource database on the same server?
Thanks!

General Question
Apr 19, 2007I have a website. It is a SAS Site. It has a structure similar to
tbClient (ID, Username, password)
tbData (ID, ClientID, info)
tbDatax(ID, tbDataID, info)
tbDatay(ID, tbDataXID, info)
This is a reporting nightmare for me. I Ihave a sollution, but i was wondering if SRS has an out of the box sollution or if anyone knows of an out of the box sollution.
It is a reporting nightmare because clients want to be able to create reports out of the system, but I can't let them see other clients data.
My sollution is give them a username CLientA
They log into The database with CLientA login
I have views that mask the data by enforcing all of the relationships through the view.
create view vutbDatax as
Select tbDatax.*
from tbDataX
Inner Join tbData on tbData.ID = tbDataX.tbDataID
Inner Join tbClient on tbClient.ID = tbDataX.ClientID
where tbCLient.Username = User
User is a Database function that returns me the Username they logged into the database as.
Imagine doing that for 100 views. And managing the security on it. I have done it and it is in the process of testing right now but Does anyone have a better sollution.
General SQL - Need Same Inner Select In FROM And WHERE Sections...
Feb 29, 2008Hi, I've got the query below which works as needed, but it performs the same inner select twice at present. What is the best way of eliminating the second evaluation of the inner select statement?
SELECT TOP 1 condition FROM
(SELECT condition, COUNT(condition) AS total FROM [JCM].[dbo].[jcmresults] GROUP BY condition)
WHERE total = (SELECT MIN(total) FROM
(SELECT condition, COUNT(condition) AS total FROM [JCM].[dbo].[jcmresults] GROUP BY condition))
Thanks,

General Question About SQL Efficiency
Apr 14, 2008I have a website that is probably going to hold a sizable amount of data. The data will be specific to groups of users based on login credentials. Would it be more efficient to create a whole new database for each group of users, or create new tables for the groups in the existing database?
Any thoughts on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks

General Network Error
Apr 20, 2005Hello.
I'm running into a rather intermittent problem when a search query is run on an ASP.Net web application.
The error is 'General Network Error' Check your Network Documentation...
As I said, it doesn't happen everytime which leads me to beleive that there is a problem with the database connection
There's probably no more than 50-60 max users hitting the app at any one time.
Anybody familiar with this?

General Paradigm Question
Mar 8, 2006Hi all,
I'm new to ASP2.0 development (not new to programming though) and have been grappling with general paradigm questions.
So far, I'm using a SQL database to store my applications data. On UI front, I've been using the SQLDataSource in combination with a gridview control. VS2005 thus far has been really easy to use when it comes to these controls. However, I see myself having to know knowledge of the database in UI layer which screams as a classical mistake.
The right thing to do seems to be to have an intermediate layer, an object model, abstracting the database. However, if I do create an object model representing tables in my database and then expose these to the UI layer, I lose the ability to easily display data in my gridview (i will no longer be using a sqldatasource.
So, after much run around my question is this, what is the preferred paradigm when programming applications for ASP.NET 2.0 and can you still use the nicities offered by VS2005?
Thanks

General Network Failure
Dec 26, 2001Over the course of many weeks the frequency of the following error has been occurring. I have been trouble shooting this problem since I started with the company some 3 weeks ago and I am just stumped.
I'm running SQL7/SP3 on NT4 with current SPs and hotfixes. My default library is NamedPipes with an alias allowed for TCP/IP.
Any help or leads would be appreciated. I've checked for everything the MS KB suggests and it still hasn't resolved my problem!

General Question About Massive SP Use
Jul 2, 2006Hi
Would you say that it's ok for a web site code to make ALL of it's access to a db through SP and views? And I mean everything including inserting new records and updating others with no use with SQL in the code.
The advantage would be very strict control over the access, but in order to achieve this it would take many many SP and views to cover all types of actions, can you think about a disadvantage except all the work creating those SP?? what about the server resources and performance? how demanding it would be?
Thanks,
Inon.
