Hi,
Is it possible to populate a dataset with tables returned by a stored proc?
Consider this:
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Table1
SELECT * FROM Table2
SELECT * FROM Table3
END
If that is my stored proc, could I call it from a page and automatically populate a dataset with all 3 tables (if yes, then how?), or would I have to make 3 seperate calls to the db for each table?
Thanks
I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.

Hi,
I have a stored proc which returns multiple result sets. These results sets I am capturing using a strongly typed dataset which in turn I am using to display in the code. My dataset will have 5 tables. However when I run the code only 3 tables get populated and the remaining 2 gets no data.
I have seen the problem earlier and could not resolved it. Please let me know if any one can help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I want to design a report in which it will contain fields derived from 2 different stored procedures. I understand a 'table' can display data from a single dataset. How can i bind these two stored procedures into a single dataset so as when i click on the table and use its property 'DataSetName', to be able to select the dataset which holds all columns from stored proc 1 and stored proc 2. How can i link multible tables ( multible stored procedures with different column names in each one) into a single dataset to feed the report?
Thank you

Hi there,
I have a MS Access database (mdb) containing the following tables:
Crime
Criminal
CrimeCommitted
Hideout
CriminalType
The Criminal table contains information about each criminal and the CrimeCommitted table contains information about the specific crimes. I've written the following query to return only the latest crime committed by each criminal:
Code Snippet
SELECT Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType, Max(CrimeComitted.Date) AS Last_Crime_Comitted
FROM Criminal INNER JOIN CrimeComitted ON Criminal.CriminalID=CrimeComitted.CriminalID
GROUP BY Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType;
This query works fine for obtaining the Criminal table data, but once i've include CrimeCommitted.Country in the SELECT statement, the data returned contained all the crimes committed by each criminal (i just need the latest crime).
The query doesn't work when another table, other than Criminal, is selected. How can i obtain the columns in the CrimeCommitted table in this query?
Hi All,
We are post-deployment with a serious reporting issue that's causing us to rethink our reporting solution. We're considering moving from what we have to SQL Server Reporting Services (client side).
I have spent the past couple of days getting up to speed on this feature and seeing if we can easily migrate it into our existing application. However, I've hit a couple of stumbling blocks and was hoping perhaps someone here could either tell me the solution or point me in the right direction.
I'm not having any problems creating basic reports (e.g. flat data).
However, I am having problems creating reports where there are related tables in a dataset.
The way it works with our existing solution is that I get a dataset (which contains several data tables) and point it to the report's datasource. That report expects those tables and I have defined table-relationships in the report which process and display the information correctly.
I'm not having as much luck with RDLC.
I can go into futher detail about how I'm creating the report, but let me just ask these general questions first:
1. Can I set a dataset containing multiple datatables equal to a property on an RDLC report and that RDLC report know how to treat and display the data?
2. Is there a better/smarter than this to get a field selection from my datasource (remember, this information is coming from a stored procedure so connecting directly to the database is not an option):
a. In code, populate dataset
b. In code, write dataset schema to xml (e.g. an xsd file)
c. In Visual Studio, add the XSD file to project
d. Use fields from XSD file to drag and drop fields on report
A fancy example would be nice too. I've googled like crazy the past couple of days and downloaded as many samples as I can find (including the ones on ftponline.com, gotreportviewer.com, "Tudor's WebLog", and several others). However, I have yet to find one that uses grouping and related datatables.
Thank you so much (if, for nothing else, reading this post )
How does one programmatically retrieve the results from a sqldatasource that has had a filterexpression applied to it?
Let me elaborate, here is my code:
SqlDataSource1.FilterExpression = "MenuType = 'myfilteredvalue'"
Dim _dv As DataView = CType(SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), System.Data.DataView)
_dv.Table.TableName = "Menu" Dim ds As New DataSet("Menus") ds.Tables.Add(_dv.Table.Copy()) 'Add relation: ParentID under MenuID
Dim relation As New DataRelation("ParentChild", ds.Tables!Menu.Columns!MenuID, ds.Tables!Menu.Columns!ParentID, True) relation.Nested = True
ds.Relations.Add(relation)
What I'm doing is, I have a sqlDataSource that pulls all the data from my DB. With this data in the sqlDataSourceSource, I want to then populate an XMLDatasource (via a dataset) with only the records I need, i.e. the filter. However, after I apply my filter above, the sqlDataSoruce still contains all the records. I thought maybe if I did a sqlDataSource.Bind() after my SqlDataSource.FilterExpression, but that didn't do anything either.In laymans terms:I want to say something like: dataset = sqldatasource.filter(my filter expression).

Hi,
I have a stored procedure attached below. It returns 2 rows in the SQL Management studio when I execute MyStorProc 0,28. But in my program which uses ADOHelper, it returns a dataset with tables.count=0.
if I comment out the line --If @Status = 0 then it returns the rows. Obviously it does not stop in
if @Status=0 even if I pass @status=0. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I have a master/detail scenario whereby to populate a formview, the user selects a row in the gridview. The SqlDataSource used to populate the formview needs to check 2 columns from the gridview, ZRef (which is the SelectedValue of the Gridview) and ZName (a string).
From searching the forums it looks like I have to programmatically assign the SelectParameters in order to get ZName from the gridview. Seems fair enough, so I set the parameters in the 'Selecting' event of the SqlDataSource. (Code shown below).
However the formview never shows. In debug I can see that the values I'm setting in the SelectParameters.Add are correct; and if I set the default values for those parameters in the SqlDataSource itself, everything works fine.
Can anyone point me to some sample VB code that does this - I'm sure this must be a common situation.
Thanks.

If tmpLBL Is Nothing Then

tmpSDS.SelectParameters.Add("ZRef", GridView1.SelectedValue) 'In debug, this shows 7 - which is correct

What I need to do is re-populate a unique number into multiple fields,
Let me explain, An employee can appear in the first table only once but can be in the second table multiple times with multiple employee numbers .There is a field called TFN that is unique and we are using it to create a unique id called KRid so what I have done is created 2 tables namely TEST_TBL and TEST2_TBL . In TEST_TBL I am populating a KRid with a unique no being produced by the TFN field only once i.e 12345 being the resulting unique id number. If an employee has 2 employee numbers i.e empno 1 and empno 1000,only employee no 1 will have the unique KRid created but nothing for 1000 because the record already exists , so what has me stumped is that the TFN for employee empno 1 and the TFN for empno 1000 are the same. How do I get the KRid (12345 from empno 1) to populate empno 1000 in TEST2_TBL , The second table has all records in so I can group the second table by TFN id but how do I populate employee 1000 in the second table with the KRid 12345.
Please help!!!!! Below are how the tables are set up and an example of the result.

Query goes as follows for table 1:
SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPET00.RecordStatus, NPE000.KR_ID, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.SecondName, NPE000.Class, NPE000.DateEmployed, NPE000.DateOfBirth, NPE000.HoursPerDay, NPE000.HoursPerWeek, NPE000.PassportNo, NPE000.AwardCode, NPE000.EmailPayslipTo, NPE000.Location, NPE000.Grade, NPE000.DateTerminated, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.DistCode, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo FROM NPE000 NPE000, NPET00 NPET00 WHERE NPET00.RecordStatus = 0 and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 111111111' and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 000000000' AND LENGTH(NPET00.TaxRefNo) >= 9 AND LENGTH(NPE000.KR_ID) >= 0 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber
Query goes as follows for table 2:
SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.Class, NPE000.Location, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo, NPE000.Paypoint, NPE000.KR_ID, FROM NPE000, NPET00 WHERE Recordstatus = 0 and (EmploymentType = 1 AND EmpStatus = 1 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber
From this you can see that in table 1 it will only create 1 KR_ID for only one employee number but in table 2 I am bringing through all employee records. In table 2 I can group by NPET00.TaxRefNo which will bring all NPET00.TaxRefNo's togeather. From that I would like to populate the other employee numbers with the unique KR_ID.
Example:Table 1
000001,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,12345,475431212
Example:Table 2
000001,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,12345,475431212
001000,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,,475431212
I hope this helps
Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to, ultimately, create a flatfile for exporting insurance information to a third-party vendor. Each individual is to have no more than 1 line per file, which contains their coverage information, if any, on 4 different type of insurance. What i need is for 2 fields in a table to determine the output for multiple fields in the flatfile.
What I have so far works, to an extent. If I have insurance types 1, 2, 4 (of types 1-4) required output is (__ = 2 blank spaces):
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
If they have coverage, A always = Y, B always = N, C always = blank(null), D is their ins. type, E is their cov. type(CASE statement). if they DON'T have that type of coverage, A always = N and the remaining field are NULL.
After a lot of work, and scouring a forum or 2, I attempted a whole lot of CASE functions. Below is an sample of code representing the 1x statements. This same code is repeated 4 times with the 1x being altered with 2x, 3x, 4x.
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N' END AS 1A,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'N'
ELSE ' ' END AS 1B,
' ' AS 1C,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN HB.BENEFIT_PLAN
ELSE ' ' END AS 1D,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN (CASE WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='1' THEN 'XX'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='2' THEN 'YY'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='3' THEN 'ZZ'
ELSE 'WW' END)
ELSE ' ' END AS 1E,
It works to an extent. While the desires/required output it above, the output this produces (same scenario) is:
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
While there is supposed to be 1 line, regardless of number of insurance types, it only produces 1 line per type. I first tried this in Access, and was able to get it to work, but it required multiple queries resulting in a crosstab, export to Excel and manually manipulate the data, export to text file to manipulate, import back into Excel to manipulate, import back into Access and finally export into a flatfile. Far too much work to produce a file which is why I'm trying to convert it to raw SQL.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I have 5 or more tables to join to get a particular output which has to be sent to a destination table. In the 5 tables some are inner joins and some are left outer join. I am opting for stored procedure at this point. But I would like to know how can this be done in data flow transformations having multiple souce and merge joins or any other alternates. I tried using merge join, but this does not accept more than two tables.
I saw this simple post which kick started me to use ssis transformations to stored procedures. But I encounter issue.

Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data.
When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Bob
Dear Friends,
I created my BI Blog and I need your feedback to my post SSIS-Populating Dimension. Do you think is a good approach? In my project works perfectly!
http://pedrocgd.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
I have a temporary table (@tblResults) that has 4 columns that need to be populated with a calculation made from columns held within 2 other tables.
Joins
@tblResults tr JOIN dbo.MarketPrice mp
ON tr.Item = mp.Item
AND tr.[Month] = mp.[Month]
AND tr.[Year] = mp.[Year]
AND mp.[Date] BETWEEN tr.LatestStartDate AND tr.PriorEndDate
[code]....
Where the 2 dbo.MarketPrice and dbo.MillDifferentials date fields are NOT equal, the last (chronologically) dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value should be used (or '0' if no previous value found).
so expected results where @tblResults.Id = 1:
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-10-29' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-10-06' - this produces the combined Max value of 184.50
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-04-28' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-04-28'
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-22' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-01-20'
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-21' should be combined with the dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value of '2014-01-20' - this produces the combined Min value of 111.50
The dbo.MarketPrice.Price value of '2014-01-04' should be combined with '0.00' if there is no matching or previous dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value OR the top 1/max (most recent) dbo.MillDifferentials.Diff value if a record is found before the specified @tblResults.LatestStartDate

Hi
I am new to Reporting service, Trying to create a report RS2005.
I defined two dataset (query getting data from same database)
In report designer, I inserted a group and drap columns from first dataset. and inserted second group, when i dragcolumns from second dataset it shows like this
=First(Fields!GroupStatus.Value, "ParentGroup")
in my first group columns shows like
=Fields!Member.Value
when i run the report i am getting one row in second group.
this looks like very basic mistake I am doing, since I don't have any experience in RS2005, i am posting this question,

Hi,
I have to design a tabular report where the data in all the columns of the table comes from the cube, but for one column where the data comes from the ODS table.
Could anyone please let me know if it is possible to combine the results of the query from a cube with query from an ODS table and display together in a single report?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
I usually use Access for my database work, but a recent request needs data from a table with about 8 million records - a mite outside of Access' league.
So, I am using SQL Server Report Services to create this report.
Essentially, I need to be able to use a table from database A and a table from databse B in a single dataset for the report I'm making.
I'm self-learning this package and have not been able to locate if this is even possible, let alone how to do it. I can't see it not being possible, so I figure the procedure is simply eluding me.
I've seen a thread on a similar - if not the same - problem, and the answers given all seemed to be based upon the user being able to write to the database server or in some other manner manipulate the server. I have no such capabilities. All I can do is look at the data and create a report based upon what I see. No write access at all.
This wasn't a problem in Access, because, though the main data was on the server, I linked to any needed tables and everything else was local to my box.
Thanx in advance for any help!
I'm looking for some advice on how to manage reports that use the same query in their datasets. I have multiple reports that use several datasets that are the same. If I need to make a change to one dataset, I need to remember to update the other datasets. Of course I don't always remember to do that!
Is there a way to create a dataset in a single location and then share it? I was thinking of using a View but I don't think it'll accept the parameters.
I've been cutting & pasting the entire query as I make change but I'm afraid it'll mess that up or forget to update a dataset.
How do you do it?
Any suggestions you have would be helpful.

=Switch(Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "=",Fields!tcost.Value = Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = ">",Fields!tcost.Value > Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = ">=",Fields!tcost.Value >= Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "between",Fields!tcost.Value >= Parameters!TotalCost.Value AND Fields!tcost.Value <= Parameters!TotalCost2.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "ie", ISNothing(Fields!tcost.Value), Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value= "<",Fields!tcost.Value < Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "<=",Fields!tcost.Value <= Parameters!TotalCost.Value,Parameters!TotalCostFilterOp.Value = "<>",Fields!tcost.Value <> Parameters!TotalCost.Value)
Code Snippet
=Switch(Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "%",LCASE(Fields!company.Value) like "*" & LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value) & "*", Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "=",Fields!company.Value = Parameters!Company.Value, Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "ie", ISNothing(Fields!company.Value), Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "?", LCASE(Fields!company.Value) LIKE LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value), Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "<>", Fields!company.Value <> Parameters!Company.Value, Parameters!CompanyFilterOp.Value = "?%", LCASE(Fields!company.Value) LIKE LCASE(Parameters!Company.Value) & "*")
The operator for both these is set to "=", and the value is set to "=true".
Based on user selection in a report wizard, the 4th column (And/Or) may need to be changed from 'and' to 'or', or vice-versa.
Is there anyway to accomplish this programatically?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Hey everyone,
I am trying to combine like data from two different data sources into a single data set. Is there anyway I can do this? It seems like I can only add one data set, but is there some sort of workaround I could use?
thanks,
Keith
Hi,
is there anyway to insert all the rows from a dataset to SQL Server table in a single stretch..
Thanks

Hi,
OK, trying to return the results from two SQL statements into a DataSet using SqlDataAdapter. The SELECT statements query the same table but are looking for different records based on the date that the records were inserted - the 1st query looks for records fro the current month and the 2nd one looks at the same records but for the previous month. The goal is to be able to do some math within a repeater and get the difference between the two records.
Sounds easy enough and it has worked for me in different variations of the same idea but not this time - here's the code:
Protected Sub buildPartsReport(ByVal varHC) objConn.Open() sSQL = "SELECT ap.id,item_model,item_sn,aircraft_id,item_loc=item_type+ ' on ' +(SELECT tnum FROM T_Aircraft WHERE id=aircraft_id),apt.tot_time As endTimes,apt.tot_cycles as endCycles FROM T_Aircraft_Parts ap, T_Aircraft_Parts_Totals apt WHERE ap.id=apt.part_id AND report_date= '" & rD & "' AND item_type LIKE 'engine%';SELECT ap.id,apt.part_id,apt.tot_time as startTimes,apt.tot_cycles as startCycles FROM T_Aircraft_Parts ap, T_Aircraft_Parts_Totals apt WHERE ap.id=apt.part_id AND report_date= '" & oldRD & "' AND item_type LIKE 'engine%'" Dim objCommand As New SqlDataAdapter(sSQL, objConn) DS = New DataSet() objCommand.Fill(DS) Repeater1.DataSource = DS Repeater1.DataBind() DS.Dispose() objCommand.Dispose() objConn.Close() End Sub
Sorry if it wrapped a bit. The "rD" and "oldRD" are the variables for the date ranges (currently set to static numbers for testing). I'm getting the following error when I run this on an ASP.Net page:
System.Web.HttpException: DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name 'startTimes'.
The code works fine when run via the Query Tool on the SQL server (SQL 2005 Std) though it produces two distinct "tables" which I'm guessing is the problem. I've tried variations on the code including creating a 2nd dataset and then attempting a merge (no joy) and I've tried the ".TableName" route but it complains about trying to add the tablename twice.
Thoughts? I need to get this to work - it is part of a reporting component for an application that I'm developing and I'm stuck. Thanks as always...
Hi!
I have a question about SQL Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure which returns multiple resultsets (multiple select). In my reporting services project I have a dataset that connects to this procedure. But, when I execute it in the Data tab, I only get the first resultset. So can't I have more resultsets?
I can't use more datasets (that have the selects in the procedure) because the procedure is complicated and has many calculation. I've managed to get all the selects in only one and the reporting services in working in this way. How about many resultsets in a dataset?
Thank you!

Hello,
I have the following tables :
Area
areano
areaname
Locality
locno
areano
RequestType
reqid
reqdtls
WebSummit
SummitId
RequestorName
DateOfRequest
reqid
Areano
I want to display the total no. of Addition, Removals and Relocations during the past 3 months in a paticular Area.
I have written the query for this.
select q.[areaname] as Area,
classCount as TotalCount, ReqType
from ( select a.areano,
a.classCount, ReqType
from ( select areano,
count(*) as classCount, reqdtls as ReqType
from WebSummit
join RequestType
on WebSummit.reqid = RequestType.reqid
where date_created >= dateadd(mm, -3, getdate())
group by areano, reqdtls
) a
join WebSummit b
on a.areano = b.areano
group by a.areano,
a.classCount, ReqType
) p
join Area q
on p.areano = q.areano
The query works fine and has been tested. Now I want to display this in chart format.
The display should be in a chart format, one for each area showing a bar for each RequestType.
I have placed "TotalCount" in the Data Fields section and ReqType in Category fields. How do I use the Filter to set an expression so that it displays the data in a seperate chart for each Area.
I tried using =Fields!Area.Value and set it to Area1 to display only Area1 values, however the preview shows nothing.
Plz help me out.
Here's some sample data
Area
AreaNo AreaName
1 Area1
2 Area2
3 Area 3
4 Area4
5 Area5
6 Area6
7 Area7
