I do not know if this is the proper group to ask my question. Please do
direct me to the proper place.
I have a database server and would like to store data for multiple
groups of customers. The data is not shared amongst the groups but are
shared only amongst individuals composing a group.
One solution would be to lump all data from all groups into a single
instance of the database server accompanied with a tag that would
identify to which group each piece of information belongs.
Is there a better method to achieve what I want to do. Would my
solution present any difficulties in the future in terms of performance,
maintenance, scalability.
Are there other solutions that may be available to address my needs.
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING) for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..) I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on the reporting side) ?
I have a list of customers in my Customers table. What I am looking to do is to create QR codes for each customer in Reporting Services. I need to include the customer name, address, postcode, telephone number and contact name.
I have a large table that tells me customers and mailings (~4 million rows). So for each customer, I see what mailing(s) they received. It is at the mailing level so if a customer received 2 mailings, their will be 2 records for that customer number, one for each mailing they received. There are 3 different mailings.I am trying to calculate the count of customers that received all 3, as well as those that received 1&2 only, 1&3 only, and 2&3 only. For example:
CustNo Mailing Tim 1 Tim 3 Dan 1 Dan 3 Jane 1 Max 1 Max 2 Max 3 Lauren 2 Lauren 3
Results:
All 3 - 1 1&2 only - 0 1&3 only - 2 2&3 only - 1
I have tried doing some funky table joining and EXISTS, but the query runs and runs because of how much data it has to sift through. Here is the code I am using to find Mailing 1&2 only customers, but I am not even sure it is getting me the right numbers. There are 2 different types of customers as well which is why I have custtype in there.
Code: select a.custtype,count(distinct a.custno) from myTable a inner join (select distinct custno from mytable where [mailing]=2) b on a.custno=b.custno where a.[mailing]=1 and not exists(select * from myTable c where a.custno=c.custno and c.[mailing]=3) group by a.custtype
I am using a business management software application that uses SQL Server 2012 for data storage. The application is one that stores data about the customer, and then displays as requested. On certain customers, once saved, no save of future edits will work. Once the save button is clicked, there is a momentary hula hoop, followed by nothing. You have to cancel to get out, and then going back you see that the data was not saved. This only happens on certain customers (however, once the problem develops for a certain customer, it is consistent) and newly created customers seem to work fine. I am thinking that the software app is fine since the save process would be the same each time the button was clicked, so I am thinking its a database problem.
I want to calculate how many number of people have got loans. In my report, there is one column called customerName. I can use count(CustomerName). But sometimes cutomers name appears twise or thrise. count(customerName) does not give the write nu of customers. How do I write T-SQL expression to get the rite no of customer?
I am trying to link my ORDERS table to my CUSTOMERS table. The Primary key in the CUSTOMERS table is a UNIQUEIDENT. The foreign key it is linking to is an INT.
When I run a query in ACCESS, it says type mismatch....
I deployed a clustering project. As a result, I got 10 clusters. Is there an automatic way to create a table with the customer ID and the cluster # that each customer was assigned to?
I have a table with orders and customer info. I want to retrieve only customers with new orders only. These are the available fields: customer Id, Order Id, Order Date, and Order Subtotal. I need help with the "where" section of the query.
I recently setup mutliple instances of SQL Server Express at my office. I have 1 default instance, and two named instances. I can connect to the named instance of the default port of 1433 with Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express, however the other instances on dynamic TCP ports can not be accessed by the instance name over the internet. I have to specify the dynamic TCP port in this form: xxx.uconn.edu/SQLTEST, Port number. My current thinking is that the SQL Browser service should tell Management Studio Express what dynamic port number each SQL instance is listening to. Any ideas?
My team is using TFS for work item management and I'd like to provide a week schedule matrix that displays: - weekdays on the x-axis - persons on the y-axis - and the assigned workitems in the cell.
This works fine if there's only one WIT (work item) per day but some WIT's are shorter and thus the resource is assigned more than one a day. My dataset may return something like this:
Date Person WIT 28/3 Mark Task1 28/3 Mark Task2 28/3 Hank Task3 29/3 Mark Task2 29/3 Hank Task3
In this case I'd like the matrix to look something like this, i.e. the two tasks Task1 and Task2 in the same cell: Mark Hank 28/3 Task1 Task3 Task2 29/3 Task2 Task3
I've set up the matrix in the report but I only get the first item per day to show. Mark Hank 28/3 Task1 Task3 29/3 Task2 Task3
The default definition in the cell was "=First(Field!TaskName.Value)", so I figured I'd solved the issue by changing it to "=Field!TaskName.Value", but it didn't.
Hi, I'm trying to create a resultset with the top 100 customers for the year (based on this year's sales) and for each of these customers, to return 5 top items and their corresponding sales dollars, as well as percentage of total sales achieved by each item. What I'm struggling with is how to return specifically 5 sales items per customer. If I use a temp table or a correlated subquery, what is the exact syntax to use? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks all :)
I'm trying to write a query which would bring back customers who are returning within a certain timeframe after their initial contact. Query 1 would be something like:
Select CustomerID, OrderID, StartDate, EndDate FROM tblOrders
I would then like to bring back a recordset which showed any follow up orders within a timescale. Query 2:
Select CustomerID, OrderID, StartDate, EndDate where EndDate is less than 6 months after Query1.EndDate Joined by Query1.CustomerID = Query2.CustomerID
I haven't got as far as writing the T-SQL yet. I'm trying to think of a way to do it.
System information: 1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server. 2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots. 3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario: We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions: 1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well? 2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?
Need some help... When we tried to run mulitple packages one after the other from a windows service, first one succeeds but later ones are throwing below error : "The script threw an exception: The element cannot be found in a collection. This error happens when you try to retrieve an element from a collection on a container during execution of the package and the element is not there. A deadlock was detected while trying to lock variable "System:ackageName, User::BusinessDate, User::Environment, User:ortfolioName" for read access. A lock could not be acquired after 16 attempts and timed out."
Later, we tried to create separate AppDomains for each package and execute via console application, but ended up with below error (The below expressions were defined in OnError Event) : "The result of the expression "@[User::ReportErrorFrom]" on property "FromLine" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property. The result of the expression ""Error At :" + @[System:ourceName] + "" + "Error Description : "+ @[System::ErrorDescription] + "" " on property "MessageSource" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
At last, we tried to span a separate process (System.Diagnostics.Process) for each package. this seems working but taking very long time: A package that normally takes 2 min, is taking 60 min.
We also tried creating an SSIS Package that executes mulitple packages. But only first package is getting executed, and second one is throwing below error (Here the variable it is trying to lock is of first package): "Failed to lock variable "UniqueInstrumentsQuery1" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
Please help us with some work around for this. Thanking you in advance,
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.
I am trying to write the query in the Procedure as follows
Select * from Car where Price=@Price1 or Price=@price2 or Price=@price=3 and where Manufacture=@Manufacture1 or Manufacture=@Manufacture2 or Manufacture=@Manufacture3 and where Model=@Model1 or Model=@Model2 or Model=@Model3 and where City=@City1 or City=@City2 or City=@City3
I am Not sure of the query but am trying to get the list of cars that are to be filtered based on the user input.
I'm trying to get some XML data into SQL Server but i ran into problem when inserting the data (multiple orders with multiple order details) using a single sproc. Is it possible, or do I have to do in some other way? :confused:
I simplified my example to this: ----------------------------- --CREATE PROCEDURE sp_InsertOrders AS
DECLARE @docHandle INT, @xmlDoc VARCHAR(4000), @orderID INT
--DROP TABLE #Orders CREATE TABLE #Orders ( OrderId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1), FkCustomerID SMALLINT NOT NULL, OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL )
--DROP TABLE #OrderDetails CREATE TABLE #OrderDetails ( OrderDetailsId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1), FkOrderID SMALLINT NOT NULL, ProductID SMALLINT NOT NULL, UnitPrice SMALLINT NOT NULL )
INSERT INTO #Orders (FkCustomerID, OrderDate) SELECT CustomerID, OrderDate FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order', 3) WITH ( CustomerID INTEGER, OrderDate DATETIME )
SET @OrderID = @@IDENTITY;
--INSERT INTO #OrderDetails (@OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice) SELECT @OrderID AS OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice FROM OpenXML(@docHandle, 'Orders/Order/OrderDetails', 3) WITH ( ProductID INTEGER, UnitPrice INTEGER ) -----------------------------
All orders are inserted first which makes the use of @@IDENTITY incorrect (it works fine if you insert a single order with multiple order details). Since it was quite some time since I last worked with SQL I am not sure if am doing it the right way... :confused: :confused: Anybody out there who knows how to solve the problem?
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part | 1 | RAM 2 | Disk Drive 10| CPU 11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive| ---------------------------------------------- A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item SELECT SYSTEM PART FROM System Info WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
I have an Access 2000 database which lists customers by name, and howmuch (in dollars) they have purchased of various products. How do Iwrite a SQL statement to select customers who make up the top 60% oftotal sales dollars? I need to have a list of customers returned.The list of customers that get returned will be used to select otherdata from the same database. (I mention this in case there are multipleways of getting the customer list).Thank you for any advice.
I have created an order form for my business. I placed a submit button at the bottom. I wanted all the clients information to go into my emailbox. Someone told me about MS SQL Server. I got excited and downloaded the 2005 Express version with all the trimmings. Now I am more confused than I was before. Someone please explain to me what I should do first. Redo the form with the studio then work with the server? I think I may have deleted something important from the server trying to figure it out. Help!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I'm fairley new to SQL Server 2005. I've started to work with the tutorials to get a grip of it all... but when I'm running the wizard to create a packade I cannot find the folder Samples in the 90-folder... and the file Customers.xls is nowhere to find in any of the folders in MS SQL Server 2005 folder...
I downloaded and ran BOL from april2006 and also SP1 for SQL Server 2005...
Where can I find the right material to run the tutorials?
I am trying to write a RANKX Function as a calculated field instead of a measure, so I can used rank as a report filter but it is not working.I have customers that I can rank by sum of sales amount and then bucket their ranks within categories such as Top 10, 50, 100. The goal is then to use this Top Customers list as a filter on the Power BI report.So far I have the following as a calculated column.Â
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?
