Perhaps i'm missing something but when i update the master report and then go and run the linked report, it's not updating? Is this a known issue?
If i update the master and re-link the linked report, then all is well? Shouldn't the linked report reflect the master report in real-time and i shouldn't have to re-link the report?
Here's a problem that I can't find anyone else has run into. I'm usingAccess and SQL Server, but the theory would be the same for any db.I have a large number of tables that contain linked records(intersection tables mostly). In the interest of space, I'llillustrate an example:tblStudents (ID, Name)tblTeachers (ID, Name)tblClasses (ID, Name)tblEnroll (StudentID,ClassID,TeacherID)I have about 10 people who each use a separatecopy of this database (in access). I want them (at the end of eachday) to be ableto update all the records that they entered that day into a databasethat I have setup on a server (SQL Server 2005). Both databases havethe exact same structure.Caveat 1: All of the classes, students, and teachers are not the sameon each database, but the server database should contain all of them.Caveat 2: There is no way for the clients to automatically insert intothe server, they are offsite and out of range.Herein lies the problem: when a record is inserted into the server froma client, all of the links are lost since the ID will be different onthe server that it was on the client.I don't think a simple update / insert query will work, and most db'sand languages don't play nice with recordset appends.What are your thoughts??
I have an SQL 2005 Express table with the fields DocID (Unique), DocTitle, DocPath and DocSubmitter.
I am using a Web Form to insert records, I can do the Title (textbox) and Path (FileUpload) no problem.
The submitter is linked via a submitterID relationship to another table, submitters. So it will be expecting a number (1-30) not a name as listed in a dropdown list on the web form.
I currently have a database that I can update in Microsoft Access by going into datasheet view of the table and just changing the value of a given field.
Here is the problem. I have made a copy of this database by backing it up and restoring to a new database. Now when I go into Access datasheet view to update, I get the following error: "ODBC--update on a linked table '<tablename>' failed". I have tried restoring to a database on the same server as well as others and have checked for differences set for each database as well as differneces in indexes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Need to be able to run update queries on DB2 on IBM MF from a Linked Server. Select and Insert queries work but Update and Delete queries don't. DB2 connect is installed and ODBC System dsn's are created for DEV and Production DB2 environments.
The ODBC drivers can be selected when running Imports/Exports but can't be specified through a linked server.
I updated a report adding parameter expressions. A linked report based on the report I updated didn't get the parameter expressions when I deployed the base report. Anybody else having that issue? It's not much of a problem. I just have to recreate the linked report which is a nusance.
I created a base report that covers most of my reporting requirements. I created linked reports using different parameters. Is there a way to transfer linked reports from my development report server to the production report server?
I would have used report models but my system architecture uses a different database for every customer. I use a custom connection expression to determine the database by User ID.
Hi, I have a report in one folder in Report Manager. Let's call that the 'base' report. I've created a linked report with that 'base' report to another folder. When I go into Visual Studio BIDS, change the report and deploy it to Report Manager, only the base report changes. The linked report does not change.
Is this by design? I thought linking reports gave you the ability to have a base report and numerous other linked reports, all of which would also change if you changed and redeployed the base report. Is that not the case?
Having just discovered that linked reports do not retain any print formating applied to the original report I thought I'd check out the forum and see if it was just me having a senile moment or if Microsoft had in fact dropped a clanger of massive proportion.
After reading one or two questions from other RS users it does seem as if Microsoft have stuck again and completely diminished a useful feature by stripping it of anything, well....... useful. Well done MS, you once again have my applause for mind-boggling ineptitude of what should be impossible magnitude. Ah, you've got to laugh.
Maybe this and other bugs with RS2005 will be ironed out in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 - The Search for More Money.
we have a problem with linked reports. We are using the same reports that are run on about 70 different Oracle schemas. The credential information is passed when calling the report. This works fine for reports and reports with subreports. But when linking to another reports, the credential information is lost.
Is the a possibuility to pass the datasource credential information to a linked report?
I have several reports that are set to landscape but then lose this layout when a linked report is created from the original report. I found the link below describing Brian Welcker's workaround and my question is where do you place the vb.net code he provided?
We have oracle linked server created on one of the sql server 2008 standard , we are fetching data from oracle and updating some records in sql server . Previously its working fine but we are suddenly facing below issue.
Below error occurred during process .
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "<linkedservername>" returned message "". Msg 7346, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the data of the row from the OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "<linked server name>".
I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.
I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report. I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend? How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info. I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID. I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data: 1 - 50 60 - 80 150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.

Hi, I'm new to ASP.Net quite new to C# (My first attempt at a database website) and am trying to get a button to add "1" to "int" value called "Comments" a each time its pressed basically counting each time a comment is added. I also only wnat it to affect the row where "ModID" in my database is equal to the query string "ModID" I'm using on the page. I cannot find any tutorials so this is my best guess so far. This is probably a Noobie type stupid question but I'm stuck. This is the code I have so far for my Button_Click event: protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ SqlDataSource CommentCountDataSource = new SqlDataSource(); CommentCountDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Main_Site_DatabaseConnectionString1"].ToString(); CommentCountDataSource.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text; CommentCountDataSource.SelectCommand = "SELECT (ModID, DateTimeLastComment, Comments) FROM Mods"; CommentCountDataSource.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE Mods SET (DateTimeLastComment=@DateTimeLastComment, Comments=@Comments) WHERE ModID=@ModID"; //How do i get the Where to use the query string info? CommentCountDataSource.UpdateParameters.Add("DateTimeLastComment", DateTime.Now.ToString()); CommentCountDataSource.UpdateParameters.Add("Comments", "10"); //"10" is just a value to test I'll change this to add "1" once I figure how. CommentCountDataSource.Update();} Sorry if I'm using the wrong lingo but as I say I'm new. If my code is a mile off then please can you send me in the right direction of some code that works.Thanks in advance if anyone can help me. Cheers,Alan
I am a DBA who is moving in the direction of minor database design. I have gone through the steps to get my tables normalized, and I am ready to get them set up so they will update from table to table. How do I set this up? I know SQL does not cascade like Access, so how is this done? From what I have read (Robert Vieira's book) I should use triggers? Any help would be appreciated. Dallas
