Interesting Conumdrum.. Question About Filters...
Apr 2, 2007
Got a dataset coming from a stored procedure.
There is a parameter I must put on the report that filters the dataset.
the choices are "exclude" and "only", based on that I have to filter my dataset like
if they select exclude then I have to filter where "debitType <> 'Intercompany'"
if they select on;y then I have to filter where "debitType = 'Intercompany'"
Is this at all possible in the filter part?
It is easy as pie in Crystal record selector.

Below is the statement given in MicroSoft SQL Server migration documentation :
"When a view is defined with an outer join and is queried with a qualification on a column from the inner table of the outer join, the results from SQL Server and Oracle can differ. In most cases, Oracle views are easily translated into SQL Server views"
Please can anyone explain the above with some examples. I don't find such a 'CREATE VIEW' statement existsing in two DBs, which results in different result set. Am I wrong ?
Thanks,
Sam

Another tech was having the same problem with his sp which he also made into a macro. He was having the same problem as I was, he thought since he made the user the dbo owner that he woud have no problems...but since hes the one who created the db and the stored procedures when the user tried to access it he got that same error message. It went away after he went into the Enterprise manager and in the properties of the stored procedure under permission he gave the user EXEC permissions...And WAAALLLAAA problem solved :):):):)

Anyone else experience this? A developer just finished complaining about the performance of one of our databases. Well, he sent me the query and I couldn't understand why it was such a dog. Anyways I rewrote it. The execution plan is totally different between the two. I had no idea specifying the join made such a difference. First sql executed in 7 minutes that 2nd took 1 second. SELECT dbo.contract_co.producer_num_id, contract_co_statusFROM dbo.contract_co, dbo.v_contract_co_statusWHERE ( dbo.v_contract_co_status.contract_co_id = dbo.contract_co.contract_co_id ) AND contract_co_status = 'Pending' OR ( contract_co_status = 'Active' and effective_date > '1/1/2004' )SELECT dbo.contract_co.producer_num_id, contract_co_statusFROM dbo.contract_co INNER JOIN dbo.v_contract_co_status ON dbo.contract_co.contract_co_id = dbo.v_contract_co_status.contract_co_idWHERE contract_co_status = 'Pending' OR ( contract_co_status = 'Active' and effective_date > '1/1/2004' )

Hi all,
I have a system in place currently that both a local and a live database, currently the sales database is kept in line with a home grown "syncronise" script that controls keeping the two tables (live and local) in sync with the use of Local and Remote ID'sFor example;Table "Sales"ID - IntRemoteID - IntVarious Data fieldsThe 'Live' System writes new records using the RemoteID field, whilst the local inserts new records using the ID field. The Sync script copies the data up/down and assigns the corresponding RemoteID/ID's to the records as they are copied accordingly.Its been decided that this process must change, in favor of Two Way Replication. I have been tasked with finding the solution to the safe handling of ID's as theres a danger that two people can be writing a record (one live, one local) and possibly create the same ID's - i know that replication has its own ID's and could probably manage this well on its own, but these 'Internal' ID's have to be unique due to business rules.So i have been considering two possibilities to address this problem,1. Staggering the ID's - for instance Live ID's begin at 1,000,001 and local ID's begin at 1.2. Having a controlling ID table which provides the next IDBoth options have their advantages and disadvantages, with option 1 we will run into a problem later when the local ID's reach the 1 million mark (a few years away, i admit) and option 2 will need careful locking/transactional code to ensure the same ID isnt given twice.Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue? or could suggest an alternative approach to this problem? Thanks in advance!

We've had an interesting server issue here since about the start of the year, where the dual processor Netfinity server we've been running SQL 7 on has been holding steady at almost exactly 50% CPU utilization, give or take about 5%-10%. Disk utilization in all areas is relatively low. In fact, the server will do this right after a fresh reboot, with no users accessing. The really interesting part is that a graph of the two processors mirror each other. When the utilization of one goes up, the other goes down, almost perfectly. The two processors are the same speed, but their firmware build is different. IBM says it's not a problem. What say ye?

If Query1 gives 1 row output as:
customer_id
1234
-------------------
Query2 gives 1 row output as:
product_id
8970
-------------------
How do we get the above results as a single result set of 2 columns side by side? as follows:
customer_id product_id
1234 8970
Is that possible in a single select statement??
Query1 and Query2 both are select statements on the same table with different where clauses.
Sheila.

Hi ! I am facing an interesting problem for one of my databases. When I double click on a particular table in Enterprise Manager, the Manage Tables window shows me only one or two fields from the table. (it does not show me all the fields). When I run sp_help <tablename> in isql, all the information is displayed. Why is there such inconsistency. It happens only on one particular database. I have run DBCC commands but still no help. Does anyone have any ideas on this. Thankx,

We're having to work with some legacy data. The tables in the so-called database seem to have way more nulls than actual data. One table appears to have around 100 or more columns in it. It has close to 40,000 rows.
This Db has pretty much 0 normalization present.
IOW, your worst nightmare.
Is there a way we could run a query that would return the total number cells inthat contain NULL and another that could return the total number of data-bearing cells so we could come up with a % or a ratio.

Hi Folks,
This is a create table statement in DB2 z/ODS and OS/390 ( mainframe versions ) :
create table test(sno int) IN DATABASE database1 AUDIT NONE DATA CAPTURE NONE
This will create a table in the named database 'database1'.
1) In SQL Server, is there any equivalent for this 'IN DATABASE' syntax in DB2 ?
2) 'Data capture none' will not store any extra info about the data replication in the log files. Is there any eqiuivalent for this in SQL Server ?
Thanks,
Sam

Imagine a table in Microsoft Sql Server 2000 named Pictures with threefields. A primary key ID(int), a Name(nvarchar) and a Picture(image)field.Lets put some records into the table. The first two fields as expectedwould take an int and a string. The third field is of type image.Instead of putting a bitmap in this field lets place an xml documentthat has been streamed into a byte array. The xml document woulddescribe the Picture using say lines. If the picture was that of asquare we would have four lines in the xml document. You could think ofthe xml document as something similar to vector graphics but thedetails are not relevant. The important fact is that the contents ofthe image field is NOT a bitmap but a binary stream of an xml document.Now imagine we have a reporting tool like Crystal Reports that can beused to report on this database table. Imagine we create a report byusing the three fields mentioned above. As far as Crystal is concernedthe first field is an int, the second a string and the third an image.If our table had ten records and we preview the report we like to see10 entries each consisting of an ID, Name and a Picture.This can only happen if the image field contains a Bitmap, but asmentioned above the field contains an xml document.Now my question...Can we write something in SQL Server 2000 (not 2005) to sit between thetable and Crystal Reports so to convert the XML document to a bitmap.The restriction is that we cannot use anything but sql server itself.The client in the above case has been Crystal Reports but it could beanything.I know SQL Server 2005 supports C# with access to the .NET frameworkwithin the database. Unfortunately, I am not using SQL server 2005.Some people have suggested the use of User Defined Functions and TSQL.I like to know from the more experienced SQL Server people if what I amtrying to achieve is possible. Maybe it has not been done but is itpossible?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Many Regards

Hi All,
When I wanted to see ONLY today€™s records on the sql server, it took 5 minutes.
When I wanted to see records including today€™s records on the sql server, no problem. (19 Sep. is a past date which is working properly)
It is very interesting it takes 5 minutes to sort the lastday there is nothing wrong with the other days.
I ran DBCC INDEXDEFRAG method but no change anything.
I am wondering about something, everyday at 22:00 pm we are getting backup. Is this process creating a difference between before getting the back up and after got the backups?
It is really interesting issue. I do not know what I can say. It seems there is an issue with today€™s records. May be there are some locks on the today€™s records. I do not know. Why does not cause any issue for old dates but for current day ?
SELECT DISTINCT CallIDChar, ANI, DNIS, CallerName, AgentName, CallQueue, AgentID, CallType, CallStartTimeStamp, CallEndTimeStamp, CallDuration

AND (CallStartTimeStamp >= '2007-09-20T00:00:00')
AND (CallStartTimeStamp <= '2007-09-20T23:59:59')
What can be reason for this issue and how can I solve it ?
Thank you in advance,

I have a very simple SSIS package that imports data from ODBC source. There are two "Time" columns in source, but When this table is created in SQL2005, it give me "bigint"!!!
How can this happen?
I tried to import data to SQL2000, those two columns are created as "smalldatetime" properply.

Having no more experience than reading books online, here is an interesting idea I would like to run by you guys and you can let me know if it is feasible or tell me I need to put the crack pipe down...
We are going to increase the number of disks in our SAN, and I was speaking with the SAN administrator and he mentioned the shuffling of logical drives to match the new space. He said he is going to have to go through quite a few combinations/permutations on figuring out the best configuration for what data goes on the old vs. new to get the optimal space.
Is this something that can be modeled out? I can write something that recursively figures it out, but why not explore fun ideas with tools that may be able to do it?
Thank you in advance,
John Hennesey

Hi all,
I'm using SSAS 2005 with Excel 2007. My data store is very poor at the moment and most of the tables for the dimensions get rebuilt every night. The current result is as follows;
User selects product "Issue May 2008" as a filter from the product dimension, saves and closes the report.
User opens the report after the data has refreshed, the data is different, the filter shows Issue May 2008 but when you click on it the item above it is displayed - this is because the IDs have changed in the source table.
Is there a way to make it so the text/description of the dimension is used rather than the ID?
In my head that explanation makes sense, but I can understand how it might not so please let me know if it doesn't
Regards,
Phil

Using Join when 2 columns in one table point to 1 column in another table
I have spent hours on this problem and no research has turned in my favour. Does anyone have any examples they can put forward for me.
I am really desperate to sort this out, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
In the code SqlParameter dtDate = new SqlParameter("@date",SqlDbType.SmallDateTime,4);
dtDate.Value=Convert.ToDateTime(Session["date"].ToString());
cmd.Parameters.Add(dtDate);where the @date parameter is defined as a SMALLDATETIME inside a stored procedure, I cannot use a function such as "Convert.ToSmallDateTime" and it seems a conversion from DateTime to SmallDateTime takes place anywhere within the code. Eventually it works but I wonder if everything's ok with this code. Is there anything wrong about it? Thanks

I have an interesting request.
I would like to take a table such as:
date value
----- -----
1/1/01 10.5
1/2/01 9.3
1/3/01 11.5
1/4/01 4.7
1/5/01 3.2
and calculate an average for each record, based on its own value AND the following two values. In other words, for the first record, I would take
sum(10.5 + 9.3 + 11.5)/3 and put this into a third column in my table. I would then do the same for the next record: sum(9.3 + 11.5 + 4.7)/3.
Thanks in advance!

The value in the table of one DB is 17869 sq. ft. Now to insert this value in a new table of other database the reporting basis is 1000 i.e I need to do 17869/1000 = 17.8 so I have to take the value as 18. Another thing to be kept in mind is the value in the new table should have leading Zeroes. If the value is 18 it should be displayed as 0000018 ( data type in new table is Varchar(7) and in old table char (9) ). What can be the best way to implement this??

I was wondering if it's possible to set filters per user. For example we have a client who has offices in 10 different states, we want an admin of an office to only be able to run reports on their state. Is this possible without creating 10 different models/views?

Hello.
Is there a good article on the net for working with filters?
Also, I have a report with 10 parameters.
Each parameter get his default values from a dataset.
The problem is that the report ake a lot of time to load since it need to run all 10 datasets to load the parameters values.
Is there a way to speed things up?
Thanks.

Hi.
Is it possible to create a report via SSRS and deilver it via the subscription service in an email such that when user opens their own report (filtered by their user id) they can then dynamically change filters (cbo boxes) a la an excel pivot table which will then refresh the data in the report for them?
I can't seem to find a way to do this. Drill-down is not what is wanted...they want to simply cheange selections in cbo boxes and have the data all refresh.
Thanks!

I have a report generated through a number of recursive CETs and would like to add a FILTER parameter for the user to select on. (Using Parameters in the query will not work because recursion cannot be limited at the outset by the parameter).
The values to be selectable are:
Sprint 1 - R 1.0
Sprint 2 - R 1.0
Sprint 3 - R 1.0
Sprint 4 - R 2.0
Sprint 5 - R 2.0
Sprint 6 - R 2.0
...etc
I want the report to display only those Releases (R n.0) which the user specifies, eg:
Release 2 would select all data with R 2.0 in the field.
Using Table properties-Filters for the field works IF I use "=", as:
Expression: Operator: Value: An....
=Fields!SprintName.Value = Sprint 4 - R 2.0 or
=Fields!SprintName.Value = Sprint 5 - R 2.0 or
=Fields!SprintName.Value = Sprint 6 - R 2.0
Issues:
1. I am unable to use Like (I could specify Like '%- R 2.0%' and have all Release 2.0 displayed), but it does not work with any of the syntax I have tried. Using only a single expression row, - R 2.0, '%- R 2.0%', "%- R 2.0%" all fail by displaying NO data. CAN Like be used? And what is the syntax?
2. I do not have any control over the And/Or column -- it is always greyed-out, and inserts "or" automatically if the Operation is "=", and "and" if the operation is "Like". How do I control this paramter?
3. And, most important, how do I get user input to the filter field, such that If I enter Release 2 from a drop down (?), I can display the appropirate data?
NB: VS2005 sp1/SQL2005 sp2
Assistance greatly appreciated....

Dear ppl,
I am using Merge Replication between SQL Server 2005 (Publisher) and Pocket PC (Subscriber). I have a .NET compact framework appliction on the Pocket PC that replicates data from the server.
I am using SqlCeReplication class on the Pocket PC application to synchronise the data. By default, when i call the Syncrhonise() method, it pulls all the data from the server. What I want is to pass a parameter from the Pocket PC and filter the data based on that paramter. E.g. from the Employee table, I want only those Employee that belongs to a CompanyID that I pass as a parameter.
Is there a way to do this, so that i can pass parameters from my PDA application (Windows Mobile), and make the Filters specified in the Publication to use that parameter to filter out the rows.
Regards

All- I would greatly appreciate some assistance in creating a SELECT statement for table headcount in the following problem:
First, find the schema here: http://home.pacbell.net/eulimi/schema_headcount.GIF
The problem:
Given a person_id (a record in the person table), list all headcount records WHERE:1) headcount.person_id = person.person_id AND2) the headcount.act_session_id belongs to a activity (from the activity_session table) that the person is allowed to attend by virture of the person's membership in a subexpedition.
Note that:
- A person can be a member of one or more circles (via the circle_person table)- Each circle belongs to exactly one subexpedition.- A persons who is a member of a subexpedition (via one or more circles) is entitled to sign up for one or more activities (activity_sessions) associated with the subexpedition.
So, put yet another way, the SELECT command should show, for a given person_id, the list of records in headcount that includes the activities (act_session_id) that the person is entitled to join by virtue of the persons membership in the subexpedition via his circle. (Whew!)
I hope this is enough information. I think the problem would be fun if I knew what I was doing. (SQL newbie here.) I suspect I need several INNER JOINs and a compound WHERE clause.
Thanks in advance!!!

Good morning all,
I have been tasked with an interesting problem using SQL 2005. Simplified it looks like this: I have two tables both well over a million rows, totalling unrelated keys between the tables. I need to find records in table one that do not exist in table two, the twist is this, I need to find rows where the invoice number in table 1 does not exist at all in table 2 or where the invoice number exists but the timestamp associated with the invoice in table 2 is more than 10secs different than the invoice/timestamp in table 1. I'm fairly new to sql and, although I can do the really simple stuff, this one is over my head I'm afraid. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to hear any suggestions regarding books that might give examples of sql code at around this level of difficulty. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Paul
