IIF Expression In Text Align Property
Oct 30, 2007
I have run into what appears to be a strange bug (or I am expecting too much) in SQL Reporting Services.
I have a field with a dollar amount. If the dollar amount = 0, then the users want "NA" to display. I have this set-up correctly.
I have now found that if the dollar amount is displayed, they want the text box right aligned, and if the "NA" is displayed, then they want the text box to be center aligned.
I put the following expression in the "TextAlign" property setting...
Code Block
=IIF(Field.value = 0, Center, Right)
Now the IIF function is available in my expression window, and so is "Center" and "Right". But when I try to run the report, I get the error that "Center" is not declared.
So maybe this just is not possible in SQL Reporting Services, but I wanted to check before I told the users "no can do".
BTW, I tried "Left", "Right", and "General" in place of "Center" and got the same error.
Thank you,
T.J.
SSRS Report Designer Background Image Does NOT Align With Text In Preview
Sep 12, 2007Hi,
I'm using the SSRS report designer within VS2005 and I have a .rdl report that I have placed a background form as an image background. I then have text placed on top of the form, the problem is that everything is aligned within the report designer layout view but when I go to view the report in report preview the text no longer remains vertically aligned within the background form.
This is very frustrating, and almost makes it impossible to marry up a form with report data. Any help would be appreciated.

Problems With Text Column In SQL SERVER 2000
Aug 4, 2005Hi,I am trying to access the data inside a text column in the database and display it on a page.The problem is, I cannot see the full data when I execute the stored procedure in SQL Server and also on the asp.net page.it seems Sql server clips the data if it is more than 3000 characters. Is there anyway I can see the whole data that is stored in that particular column.I do not understand why asp.net is also clipping the data. What container can I use to display the text? I have tried Literal, string, placeholder but nothing shows the full text that is supposed to be in the database.I have seen some people using byte arrays but I am not sure how I can use them to display data on a page. If anyone has done this before or had a similar problem please reply back.Thanks.

It counts the number of spaces between the first text and second. I want it to be normalized so I figured left and right align. I have tried placeholders but the placeholders only accept 1 align. When i change the second placeholder alignment it also changes the first alignment.
Querying A TEXT Datatype Column In SQL Server 2000
Jan 17, 2008HI,
I'm trying to implement a site search. The only problem is that some of the pages have more than 8000 characters (like the press release pages) so I had to use the TEXT datatype (sql server 2000). I wrote a simple stored procedure to query the column, however it does not return any results. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is the TEXT datatype. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SiteSearch
@keyword text

SELECT PageText
FROM tbl_Pages
WHERE PageText LIKE '%@keyword%'

SQL Server 2000 Full Text Search (extract Pieces Of Text)
Sep 12, 2007Hello everyone !
I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image).
I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents.
Example:
I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed.
I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page.
Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ?
Best regards.

Sep 22, 2006Hi,
I have a table with a TEXT column and this column contains an XML document. I'm developing a TSQL stored procedure which reads the content of this column and accesses the values in the XML elements but I have a lot of problems...
1) How can I read the text column and store the value in a variable? I tried
declare @a varchar(2048)
set @a = (SELECT TEXT_COLUMN FROM MY_TABLE)
but it returns
Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.
I tried also with the READTEXT function but I just can't find how to store data read in a variable...
2) which length should I use for the VARCHAR variable which will store the data? Is it possible not to specify a length with SQL Server 7 or 2000?
Thanks!

Dreaded TEXT Column
Oct 15, 2006I need to setup repliaction between A and B. I have high transaction /min count. Some tables have TEXT columns. This is what i am planning to do:
Example: table name is CREDITS
vertical partition the table into two. First table (will be called CREDITS_PRI) holds PK column and non TEXT columns, second table (will be called CREDITS_SEC) holds PK column and TEXT columns.
Create a view called CREDITS with INSTEAD OF triggers for inserts, updates and deletes. So far so good. Then setup replication with immediate updating subscription between A and B for tables called ..._PRI and merge replication between A and B for tables called ..._SEC.
Would this work? How do other companies handle this? thank you in advance for pointing me into the right direction.

Is this a SSMS display problem and the data is really there? Or is this another one of Microsoft's memory bugs?
