Having An &&<All&&> Option In An Integer Parameter
Jan 29, 2008
I have cascading parameters in my report, and the vast majority of the fields on which the parameters are
based are varchar fields. In each of the drop-down menus on the report, I would like to have an option
at the top of the list called <All> which allows the user to select all of the possible values.
I have done this successfully for all the varchar fields, but there is one parameter which is based on an
integer. This obviously means it won't accept the value <All>. So, as a temporary workaround I have
created an option called -1, which when selected by the user, selects all the possible values in the
list. However, this is likely to be confusing for users if they don't realise that the -1 option means
"all". Is there any way I can make the -1 actually appear in the list as <All>? How would I go about
this?
The available values for the parameters come from an underlying dataset query.
Hi have a problem to solve and I hope that this is not a SSRS Bug.
I created a Reports(using SQL Server Project) which has several parameters which values are passed to a SP.
One of these parameter is an Integer and it is an optional value, so if the user fill it is used by the SP, otherwise the SP uses NULL and run anyway.
I starts to define tha parameter:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
if I want to Preview the report I have to provide an integer to the parameter's field ...
If for instance I set:
Default: Not queried = 0
In the moment I deploy and I use the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field is unabled!!
So I tried this solution:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Allow null value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
In the preview the checkbox: NULL is checked and I click on the View Report.
But when I deploy it,in the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field this checkbox is unchecked.
Do I forget something during my setting??I have to control it programmatically??
N.B. By default the user will not user this parameter so the best is that he can click directly on "View Report" without any additional "work" on the parameter!!
I'm trying to build an SQL string that should look like this when executed: UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.) I'm using the convention (in code behind):SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN (@TheIDs)", connection);cmd.Parameters.Add("TheIDs", SqlDbType.Text).Value = theIDsAsAnArrayList; But logically enough I cannot insert them as a text string as they have to be integers seperated by commas. Question: How can I convert an Array of integers into ... well, a string without the quotes, if you know what I mean? As it cannot end up like this: UPDATE [Table] SET Active = 'False' WHERE ID IN ("3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.") Note the quotes around the integers. Any hints on doing this with security in mind are welcome. I know I can concatenate the whole lot as strings, but this is unsecure, so I'm not going for that approach.
I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
Now my problem is that this value of this string is actually an integer. The reason this is a data type string is because its a dimension and these are always string only measures are integer...
Can someone help me make this MDX query sort on integer value instead of string.
[Time].[Week].MEMBERS contains values like 8,11,20 but is declared are string because its a dimension please help me out because i'm getting the feeling this is impossible with this microsoft tool...
I was comparing the parameters for two stored procs that I made using the SQL Server 2005 express management studio. Both of these sprocs only inserted one field into a single table. These were both of the type varchar.
One of the sprocs had "nocount on" and the other did not. I thought I would see the returns integer parameter in the sproc that did not have "nocount" set to on. I thought this is what returns an integer to validate an insert. Obviously, I am confused about how this works.
Can anyone help me to understand that difference between nocount on and the parameter that returns an integer.
my problem is that i have a integer report parameter that must be multivalued. The parameter is populated by query. The thing is that in the beginning, there is no data in the dataset of the specific parameter. The table which is source to the dataset will br populated after some time from an XML.
Reporting services prompts the user to select a value for the parameter. But there is no value to select, yet. I cannot have leave blank because it is a string and not an int and i cannot have null because the parameter is multivalued. Any suggestions?
I've got a function which inserts into a database, and has arguments for each item being inserted A couple of the items are integer datatypes (in SQL), but they will accept nulls When I add my parameters, it asks to explicitly use the SQL datatype (which is integer):.Add("@myParam", SqlDbType.Int).Value = myParam In the header of the function, I assumed I could make the argument optional - Optional ByVal myParam as Integer=System.DBNull.Value However, when the function runs, I always get an error:System.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code Message="Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid." I make them all Optional (which won't happen, but various arguments may be, at different timesand I get this error, with the last item (which is on a separate line), in red:Constant expression is required. How can I get around this?
I'm having problem on trying to execute a query in stored procedure that has parameters as a integer. The parameter with the integer is in the WHERE clause. If I take out the WHERE clause, it would work. If I take out the parameter and replace it with a value, it would work. I have try using the CONVERT function to convert it to an integer, still no luck. Error: Unterminated String Constant. What is the problem? Set @strSQL='Select * From(SELECT Row_Number() Over(Order By ' + @SortExpression + ') as Row_Count,Rank() Over (Order By ' + @SortExpression + ') as TableInfo_ColumnSort,dbo.EVENT_LOGS.EVENTLOG_ID, dbo.USERS.USERNAME, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.ITEM_TYPE, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.SCREEN_ID, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.CHANGE_TYPE, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.IP_ADDRESS, dbo.EVENT_LOGS.CREATE_DATE,dbo.USERS.FIRST_NAME,dbo.USERS.Last_NAMEFROM dbo.EVENT_LOGS INNER JOINdbo.USERS ON dbo.EVENT_LOGS.USER_UID = dbo.USERS.USERID) as TableInfoWhere Row_Count Between ' + @startRowIndex + ' and ' + @maxRowIndex + ' ';Exec(@strSQL);
I'm building a report and I want to have a parameter that has multiple integer values (not text).I can get it to work just fine if I create a value for each and every numeric value, but I want the user to only see two choices in the dropdown menu (plus the "Select All" that gets automatically created when I tick the box for "Allow multiple values"). How can I make this work?
For example, for my TYPE parameter I'd like something like this: Label: Tigers Value: 2 Label: Lions Bears Oh My Value: 1,3,4,5,6
But I can't seem to set a multiple Value for an integer. And I can't seem to wrap the value with quotes and use Text as the Data Type because it says an error occured during processing (I assume because the field I'm going against is of the Integer format).My query would look something like this (the real one is a lot more complex):
SELECT v_R_System.Netbios_Name0 ,v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0 FROM v_R_System INNER JOIN v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT ON v_R_System.ResourceID = v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.ResourceID WHERE v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0 IN (@TYPE)
I've tried different Expressions, filters, options, syntax, and what-not, but I think I'm missing something basic.
I'm having a heckuva time with creating output parameters based on a query.
Here's what I'm doing. Every day, we copy rows from our mysql table to our sql server table. We only want to copy those rows that are new, so as to not have to recopy the entire table.
So I have a DataReader Source set to Ado.net/odbc provider that connects to the mysql db. The destination is an OLE connection to the local sql server.
I create an Execute SQL Task. The connection is set to the OLE connection The type is direct input The SQL Statement is "select max(id) from copy_table"
In Parameter Mapping, I create a user variable called maxId that is an int64. That variable is now used as the Variable Name. The Direction is Output. The Parameter Name is 0.
Whatever data type I use for the mapping does not work with the variable type. If the parameter was set to ULARGE_INTEGER, here's the error [Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT MAX(stats_id) AS max_id FROM copy_table" failed with the following error: "Type name is invalid.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If parameter is set to LONG: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "maxId": "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::maxId" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".
I found that if variable and parameter were dates to use datetime for the variable and DBTIMESTAMP for the parameter.
There are an awful lot of combinations between all the possible variable types, and the possible parameter types. Does anyone know the secret combination for your typical integer?
I know ran across this some time ago when researching some other topic, but I would like to add an option to our stored procedures (which have multiple parameters) so a user could do something like:
The result would just list the parameters in the stored procedure and the options available for each parameter/what the parameter was use for.
Here is an example of one stored procedure in use:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_MyStoredProcedure] ( @BCP INT = 0---- 0 [Default]: No BCP Import, 1: Insert TempBCP Data , @Debug INT = 0---- 0 [Default]: Run process, 1: Create temp tables, run queries , @StartDate smalldatetime = '1/1/1900' ---- Enter StartDate; [Default]: otherwise use Max of Invoice date , @Date INT = 0 ---- 0 [Default]: Use std process (get last Saturday date from @StartDate), 1: Use @StartDate as is ) WITH EXECUTE AS 'ADBAccount' AS BEGIN .... END
I am working with SRS 2005 SP1 which no longer has the "ALL" option available on parameters. I am trying to create an "ALL" entry in a picklist so it can be used in a where clause for a dataset. I have a dataset with a union statement that creates a list of CRM usersids and names and an entry with a dummy guid with the name "All". Parameter is defined as a string type, with a dataset providing a list of users (label field) and their corresponding GUID value (value field), along with the an "All" entry.
select systemuserid, fullname from FilteredSystemUser Union Select '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' as systemuserid, ' All' as fullname order by fullname
The issue I am running into is implementing logic in another dataset referencing my parameter.
All is fine in the where clause if it is structured "where ownerid in (@Users)" but if I try to add logic to check for the "All" option "where (ownerid in (@Users) or @Users = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000') it errors out.
How do you impement "All" when you're dealing with a GUID type field? Thanks.
I tried to pass parameter from one report to another report. I can send the parameter using following option: I used jump to url option and write the following expression:
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online: • This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician. • The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
My question is, i guess, a simple one: When is it more convenient to use a uniqueid Data Type instead of a smallint, tinyint, bigint, etc (any type of int) when the field is gonna be the primary key for the table?
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.
Public Function insertReport(ByVal userID As String, ByVal taskID As Integer) As DataSet Dim ds As New DataSet Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("INSERT INTO report(userID, taskID) VALUES ('" + userID + "', " + taskID + ")", cn) cn.Open() da.Fill(ds) cn.Close() Return ds End Function Above is my code I used to invoke when inserting a record. But i receive an error message when i try to insert the integer. I cannot see where the problem lies..my datatype in sql server is int. Can anyone see what is wrong with it. Thank you in advance.
I have an sql statmetn that counts all the votes in the table. i need this to calculate the quota. My problem is how to i get the value(i.e the count of the votes) into the area thats colored red below? SqlCommand SqlCmd1 = new SqlCommand("SELECT count(vote)FROM PRTest", SqlCon1); int quota = (count(Vote) + 1) / ((11) + 1); Response.Write(quota);
I use MS SQL Server 2005...Is there a structural advantage/disadvantage with using GUID as oposed to an integer?(also I use the sqltableprofileprovider and it doesnt seem to work with uniqueidentifiers)
I have a situation where I will have to insert a value(whole number) into the table where the the value is more than what the Integer can hold , I was wondering is there any other datatype which i can use other than integer
I had a field called camp is integer data type. I just found it had a default value, but the value is " (0) ", not just " 0 ". It should be 0, right? why it use (0), are they same? thanks.
