Need Column Definitions For New SP2 Reports

May 2, 2007

Hi all,
After installing SP2 for SQL2005, My boss has found new reports when looking for database information. Specifically, the new Reports option when right clicking on a database.

To better streamline our dbs he found a pair of Index reports that he does not know what to do with.
Can anyone help us understand the time length for the numbers shown under #User Seeks, #User Scans, #User Updates, Last User Seek Time, Last User Scan Time, etc..?
We are unsure if these are daily, or from the last backup, or for uptime since last restart, or collected from the inception of the database.

Any help would be good and very much appreciated as I am VERY new to this and would like to show that I can find information when asked.

Field Definitions, Table Definitions, Etc.

Feb 22, 2001

I was wondering if there is an easy way to get a database schema out of a MS SQL 7 database indicating specs on each field (datatype,length,table it resides in, whether it allows nulls, default values, primary keys, foreign keys, etc.)

Verifying Column Definitions Across Tables And Views

Aug 22, 2015

Let me explain in simplified terms. We have an ETL process:

1) download data from the iSeries table Cust into SQL table Cust.
2) Tran_Cust is a view created FROM Cust
3) Copy from view Tran_Cust to table ods_Cust
4) v_ods_Cust is a view created from ods_Cust

I want to look for inconsistencies in the column definitions as a column moves from iSeries Cust, SQL Cust, view Tran_Cust, ods_Cust, view v_ods_Cust. The columns generally keep the same names except for v_ods_cust. Here a column like CustName will be created with a more meaningful column name - "CustName as 'Customer Name'.

We have hundreds of tables and we have column definition inconsistences where the host changed their column defintion and we made no changes on the SQL side. Or someone made a SQL column change in one table, but not both tables and the views were not dropped and recreated.

I have the list of tables. Think that I can put together some tsql to loop through the list of tables and create a new table based on the iSeries definition, then compare columns defintion across all the tables and views - except for the v_ods. THis is where columns are given new names - such as "CustName as 'Customer Name'". Need the actual view definition to find that CustName is 'Customer Name' and then compare the definition of ods_Cust.CustName to v_ods_Cust.[Customer Name]

How can I find the view definiton of say v_ods_Cust, seperate out the source column names (CustName) and destination column names (Customer Name) so that I can compare the source column names to another table and fine the differences?

Uploading Column Definitions From The Flat File Connection Manager Editor Into A Table Definition

Apr 3, 2008

Hi,

Is there a way of uploading column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition. Since I have over a dozen data sources to process each with around 200 columns and of course like many BI techies I have little immediate influence over the structure of these flat files. I just know that these data sources are business critical.

Judging by looking at similar threads I can't be the only one who would greatly benefit from being able to upload column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition as opposed to doing this manually.

Thanks in advance,

Kieran.

Reportserver Database Table Definitions

Feb 15, 2008

Where can i find more information on the table definitions? I am trying to understand the definition of User.AuthType & User.UserType. There should be some sort of documentation somewhere.

When I add a user to a report or folder it will assign it to UserType = 1, AuthType = 3. I have no idea what that means.

Any ideas?

Unable To Run Trace Definitions In SQL Server 2000

Jan 7, 2002

Hi All,
In SQL Server 7, we had the option of opening a previously saved trace template and running it inorder to run a previously saved trace defintion repeatedly.
File > Open > Trace Definition
and choosing the Trace Name. Clicking OK would run the trace.

How do we do the same in SQL Server 2000?
File > Open > Trace Template
opens a Trace template but has only a 'Save' button and I'm therefore unable to run it.

How is it possible to run a previously defined trace repeatedly in SQL server 2000?
Thanks in advance,
Praveena

Use Of Large Field Definitions For Small Values

Aug 2, 2007

HiThis is a question of "what does it cost me".Lets say I have an integer value which would fit into a smallint fieldbut the field is actually defined as int or even larger as bigint.What would that "cost" me ? How would definitions larger than I need forthe values in the field affect me ?Its obvious that the volume of the database would grow but with the sizeof resources etc that we have nowadays disc space isn't a problem likeit used to be and i/o is much faster and many people would tell me "whocares" , or IS it a problem ?How does it affect performance of data retrieves ? Searches ? Updatesand inserts ? How would it affect all db access if tables are pointingat each other with foreign keys ?Thanks !David Greenberg

Dynamically Generating SMDL (Report Model Definitions) With C#

Apr 20, 2006

My problem is this: How do I dynamically generate a Report Model Definition with c#?

Is there some sort of method I could call from the ReportingService2005 web service? Or some sort of APIs I could use?

If I didn't have a dynamic database structure, I would just create a Report Model Definition with BIS and then deploy the same model to each customer. However, our product creates additional tables in the database, depending on what data users wish to collect.

There are currently 2 solutions for this problem. First, I can manually create a Report Model Definition through the Buisness Intelligence Studio (BIS). However, I wish to be able to dynamically generate the report model without having to go through BIS. Second, I could use C# and manually write the XML of the SMDL. However this seems problematic.

I'm really hoping for some MS API that I'm missing out on here. Thanks for the help.

DB Engine :: Retrieving Table And Index Object Definitions In Server

Jul 20, 2015

I am currently investigating the best way to handle partition swapping where the partition scheme is built on several file groups. In order to swap partitions, both partitions need to be on the same file group. In addition, the file groups and partitions are automatically updated once a month meaning that there is a scheduled job that adds a new file group, file group files, and updates the related partition objects.If I am forced to create a new non-partition table on the same file group as the partition of the target table, what would be the best way to create the target table without hard coding the full table definition and clustered index? I know that I can query the systables and syscolumns views to reconstruct a basic SQL statement to build the table definition and views Is there a SQL Server function that I can use to just give me the object definitions? Unfortunately, the OBJECT_ DEFINITION function doesn't apply to tables or indexes. URL....

Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options

Nov 5, 2007

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.

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 looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports

Mar 27, 2008

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?

Thanks,

Patrick Conway

Copy Reports From Other Users My Reports Folder

Aug 7, 2007

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.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

How To Refer A Column When The Referencing Column Is An Identity Column

Oct 16, 2006

Hi all,

The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..

i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,

ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE

the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.

any workarounds for this ?

Alter Table Add Column - How Do You Add A Column After Say The Second Column

Jul 11, 2007

When you use "Alter Table add Column", it adds the column to the end of the list of fields.

How do you insert the new column to position number 2 for instance given that you may have more than 2 columns?

Create table T1 ( a varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20))

Alter table add column x varchar(20)

so that the resulting table is

T1 a varchar(20), x varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20)

Can this be done programmatically?
