We can use rs.exe to publish a report automatically, but how do we do the reverse - remove a report automatically?
Is there a way by using a MS utility?
Is there a way by writing code, using library objects?
Part of the problem we face is having servers with RS all set up with a particular connection string and published reports. We then want to change everything and we want to do it automatically.
Is there a way to generate reports every 15 minutes for example?

Hi,
We are working on a project and are using SQL reporting services for reporting feature. Can somebody guide me how can we automate the testing of such reports.
Thanks

I have been looking for solution to automate the reports. I have many customers and many reports.each customer has their own will to receive individual report on specific day to their given/subscribed email addresses. So I have customer and report name and weekday, weekly, monthly (different schedules) and list of customers where each report is sent to.
Is there any way to implement this automation using simple T-SQL?
I have been able to make report in Crystal report and through command like (use TSQL) to generate report output in any format, lets say, .pdf and based on customer list send them email on their scheduled day.
I do not want to do this all in Crystal Report, because there is already SSRS we have but my question is, Ids there any easy way that i pass a command line to my sql server report and that returns me output so that i can send email to my clients?
My question is How to automate the standards reports which sql server provides can be done.for example I want to send Dashboard report to my email automatically on scheduled time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I've been struggling with an interesting problem. I currently have a solution but it is very slow.
I will be cycling data through a table. Each cycle has 1 million records with 60 fields. One procedure I need to perform on this data is a character cleanse. I have a list of 12 characters that need to be removed.
Right now I have a stored procedure that pulls the characters from a table one at a time. It feeds it to a nested loop that replaces the character with nothing ('') on records that contain the character (something like "update tbl1 set FIELD = replace(FIELD, '&', '') where Field like '%&%'"). This works... but seems rather inefficient. It can take 10 minutes to do a 250,000 record table.
I have tried borrowing regular expressions from VBscript using com objects, it worked and seemed more efficient at first but then I threw a large file at it and it took a half hour to complete.
Im running SQL 2005 on a dual Xeon 3.4 box with 2 gb of ram.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
~~~Thanks~~
I am looking for some T_SQL code that would help us eliminateduplicate data entry into our mailing db. Finding and removing theexisting dups is not rocket science, but I am looking for a completesolution.We also want to be able to come up with a T-SQL script to beintelligent enough to know if:"Bill Jones" is the same as "Billy Jones" or"Bill Jones" is the same as "William Jones" or"Bill Jones at 123 My street" is the same as "Bill Jones at 123 MySt."Purchasing scripts from a company is not out of the question. Its amatter of script cost versus my hourly rate to create them... Needlessto say, something cheap.We have only heard of one app that is dynamic enough to handle this,and the cost was way, way out of our range, 6 figures is almost 2years salary.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where my client wants to ensure that data which is removed from a SQL Server database is truly removed. That is, if I delete a record, or delete data from a row, can I be sure that the data is truly gone and that it's not just the internal B-Tree pointers that were removed? Can I trust that someone with access to the .mdb file could not perform some binary pattern matching on the file and find the data that I assumed was deleted (regardless of how difficult that task would be)? I'm using SQL Server 2000. Thanks in advance.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
Ive got a server which replicates an awful lot of constantly changing data - the db itself could be around 2gb in size, however with the replication data in it it has ballooned to 6gb. On top of this, there is all the data in the D:MSSQLREPLDATAunc directories which seem to represent another log of some description.
Can I delete this data? I cant see what it would be used for and it totals some 25Gb! Obviously I cannot have this lying around on my server.
Does anyone know what it is used for?
thanks

I currently have a lot of XML blobs being stored in several of the production databases that I look after. They're there as a application "logging" feature, so that the developers can investigate issues if they ever occur.
I want to get these out of my OLTP databases asap and am currently looking at options. I know Brent Ozar recently posted an article about Content Addressable Storage systems [URL] ....
How do you handle point in time recovery? Any other ways of storing this data?
Hi,
is there a way to ensure a merge subscription is synchronised before it is removed from the publisher using SMO? - (it is a push subscription)
I thought I had it as there is a MergeSynchronizationAgent object on the SubscriptionDatabase object, but calling Synchronize() on this throws an exception saying it can't contact the publisher.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

I created a setup package and installed it on my SQL2005 server. I cant seem to find anywhere on the server where they are installed, but I can access them from the Job schedule tool, which work for me.
However, now I have to upgrade the deployed SSIS and I cant seem to install on top of an existing one (gave me no errors but after testing it i realized it is still running the old version.)
My questions are:
1) How can I find and delete these SSIS packages from the server?
2) How can I just upgrade for a new version of a SSIS package?
I need to be able to do both things as at some point I may want to just remove some packages.
Hello,
We needed to detach a database that contained a target ServiceBroker service and wanted to do this without impacting the rest of our system. The idea was the ServiceBroker would enqueue message to this service to be pickedup when the database was re-attached. Our sequence to do this was:
1. Disable the queue on the target service forcing ServiceBroker to queue in the initating side transmission queue.
2. Detach the database.
3. Re-attach the database.
4. Re-enable the queue
Messages sent to the service have a specified LIFETIME. What appeared to happen was that messages were being stored in the transmission queue as expected but on hiting the LIFETIME period they were being removed from the transmission queue and were therfore "lost".
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone suggest what we are doing wrong.
Incidentally, beaware that detaching a database will disable ServiceBroker in that database when it is re-attached - we discovered that one the hard way :-)
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

I am working with one of the production database around 200 GB. This database has above 350 tables and more than 500 Indexes. I am feeling the database has so many Indexes than the required ones
When I run the below query, it gives me some indexes read value "0". The server was restarted a month ago.Is it ok to remove those indexes?
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(s.[object_id]) AS [Table Name] ,
i.name AS [Index Name] ,
i.index_id ,
user_updates AS [Total Writes] ,
user_seeks + user_scans + user_lookups AS [Total Reads] ,
user_updates - ( user_seeks + user_scans + user_lookups )
AS [Difference]

We have a N+1 SQL 2005 x65 SP2 + 3159 cluster which was running fine until the service account which runs Windows cluster and the SQL services was removed as a login from SQL. This was a new setup so the only SQL accounts are (SA) as SA, Windows Domain GROUP's which one group is configured as SA and the cluster account is added to this group. I cannot start SQL service on the cluster now. I've tried logging into one node as the service account which is member of a AD group which has SA rights to SQL as well as my personal account. If anyone knows a way ot fix this without reinstalling I'd appreciate your help.

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to do this. I have a flat file which I am massaging the data and loading into a table here is an example of a line out of the flat file:
"ABC NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS","550","","","N","FAIR OAKS","","","COLORADO SPRINGS","C0","","","","","","","","A","","",""
My problem is that I have one field which is this address in a concatinated form. The fields that do not apply to this entry are suite#, floor# and other columns which are designated by the "" characters. The final concatinated addres field looks like this:
"550""""N""FAIR OAKS"""
I would like to remove the "" characters in the concatinated string. I just don't know the best way to do this? I was told DTS had a way of removing the "" from the flat file source. Since I have not used DTS extensively I am not sure if this is true. I was wondering how in SSIS I could go about removing the "" marks without removing the "" say if someone is quoted eg. John said "This is only a test". Removing the quotation marks in this instance would be changing the data. I am not sure how to do this and any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you...
I've done already the schemas for all the tables a you suggested.But when I created a new table the dbo prefix (dbo.ADM.NewTable) appears.I'd like this dbo not to automatically appear whenever i created a new table — as it requires me to alter whenever I created a new table.Is this something that is required to determine the creator of the table?Otherwise, I'd like that to remove.

I'm looking to dynamically remove records from tables dynamically using the information schema within SQL Server. Looking to remove records from all the tables within a schema. I have gotten as far as generating the script dynamically then using a while exist clause to execute the delete statements.
DECLARE@TargetSchema varchar(100),

--@startOFR_SCR_FILENAME_DATE varchar(25),

I want to automate a query that I am running everyday. So, what I want to do is run it at a particular time of the day say 11:00pm. Is this possible? Should I create a stored procedure?

I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?
Is there a way to automate a sql server restore? I have a db that I need to include in an installation. I could use generate script but there is info in the db that needs to be copied too. What is the best way to do this?
Thanx
