Hi. I have a report which has several datasources which require a table to be populated before they read from it.
i.e. The first thing that needs to happen whenever the report is run, is a call to a stored procedure which populates the table the report datasources are based off of. The SP takes several minutes to complete and MUST complete before any of the datasources fetch their data.
How can this be achieved?
I can not find anything in the Visual Studio Report Designer which allows to me to instruct Datasource B to not execute before Datasource A has completed (or any other way to call a data population SP, before the data reader SP's execute).
I am quite new to the complexities of MS SQL and have a problem, I would like to resolve. I have 2 tables with a unique identifier in both and want to populate a new table with information from both, but the second table I would like to populate just some fields that have a DOB eg
Table 1: uniqueId Name Address
Table2: uniqueId Type Setting
example of content for Table 2: uniqueId Type Setting 123 DOB 03/04/74 234 TFN 12345678 567 POA Mr Smith
So the new table needs to be populated with a ll of info in table 1 and has a new field called DOB so only the clients with a DOB should populate this field, if the client in Table 1 has a TFN reference, this record should be added to the new table but no value needs to be entered eg
123 Chris Smith 1 high street 03/04/74 234 Jon brown 2 high terrace <Null>
I have to pick up a row from Customers and transfer it to CustomerMaster and CustomerDetails. CustomerId of CustomerMaster will be the CustomerId of CustomerDetails while transfer. Similarly for all other rows in Customers.
I have a customer who is running a script that generates a custom report. IT is not populating as it should and is returning zeros for everything.
I have tested the the script in the office and it is populating as intended. I have run a debug on the script and it is executing the correct SQL commands. The debug results for the customer and for the one tested in the office are identical. For some reason, the script is not writing to file but is looking at the correct data. I suspect that it is an environment issue most likely on the SQL level.
Could this be an issue with character set? How can I check their character set and language preferences? I understand they are set during installation.
They are using the same collation as us.
What else can I check as I am running low on ideas.
I advised the client to create a new DB and restore over the top. The script was then tested and it was found to be working fine. As it was given an inappropriate name (ie test), I advised to create a new DB with a production name and restore over the top again. We have since returned back to where we started as the report is generating only zeros.
I populed my data base. But before I populate I created some reports beased on this DB. Now after I populating I can execute query and see results in Management studio or query designer. But When I change it the report to preview mode I can not see it. Does anyone know why this is?
I am new to SQL Server7. I need to populate some tables from an SQL Server7 database at the end of the day. How can I automate this process? I also need to export these populated tables to a text file on daily basis. I know I can use "DTS" to do this. But is there any way to make these automated also? Or is there any third party tool to do all these?
I'm trying to setup a DTS that reads a flat file uses a Data Driven Query task and then selects ONLY records that does not exist in the database and then INSERT them to DB1.
This works fine but I need to add another functionality.
I need to create a record on another table(DB2) based on the freshly inserted records in DB1 using only some of the fields. How do I do it?
Is setting up a trigger possible so that everytime a record is inerted in DB1 it will automatically a populate DB2?
Flat file: ID Name Phone
DB1 ID Name Phone
DB2 ID PHone Event (from 00 to 10) NumActions (initialized to 0)
I am sorry for asking such a broad question, but I have been working on this and from what I can gather it can be done. My problem is that much of it has gone right over my head and I am getting more confused the more I read... I'm really, really confused...
Basically, I have a dataGridView that is populated with a number of fields from Table1 (ID, NameID, Status, Phone, Notes). This works fine, BUT I would like to access Table2 and have, where ID in Table2 = NameID in Table1, it load the First Name & Last Name into the dataGridView. I am able to load the information from Table 2 like so: SELECT NameFirst + ' ' + NameLast from Table2", but I can't get both Tables to work correctly.
I would like the dataGridView to be layed out like this:
ID NameID Name (NameFirst + NameLast) Status Phone Notes
I can't for the life of me understand or get this to work (Or for that matter even understand what I am trying to do...
Also, I am using Access 2007.
I would greatly appreciate some help, and possibly some explanation in laymans terms so that I might be able to understand this. I have read a lot about this, but for whatever reason it is just soooooo over my head that I can't follow it whatsoever.
// create and open the connection OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(conString); OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(); command = conn.CreateCommand();
// create the DataSet DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// run the query command.CommandText = "SELECT ID AS [#], NameID AS [Name], Status AS [Status], Phone AS [Phone], Notes AS [Notes] FROM Table1 WHERE ID = " + textBox13.Text + ";"; OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(); adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command); adapter.Fill(ds);
// close the connection conn.Close();
bindingSource1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
// set the size of the dataGridView Columns this.dataGridView1.Columns[0].Width = 10; this.dataGridView1.Columns[1].Width = 100; this.dataGridView1.Columns[2].Width = 100; this.dataGridView1.Columns[3].Width = 100; this.dataGridView1.Columns[4].Width = 176;
I need to populate tables in my MS SQL 2000 DB with content from an excel file. I am not sure how this is done or how to format the excel file. If someone could help me with this it would be much appreciated!Thanks!
Hey guys, I'm an old DevShed member, but my old account isn't working for some reason, so I had to recreate..
I've recently decided to learn MS SQL, and having some trouble with creating and populating tables. Using MS SQL Express 2005.
Heres the code, I keep reading through my notes on how to do it, but I cant see what I'm doing wrong. This is my first attempt at it, so there may be more wrong that I think.
Code:
drop table Property_rental; drop table Property_type; drop table Property_owner; drop table Staff; drop table Tenant; drop table Tenant_category;
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 55 The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Ten_Prop_fk". The conflict occurred in database "master", table "dbo.Property_rental", column 'ID'. The statement has been terminated.
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 56 The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Ten_Prop_fk". The conflict occurred in database "master", table "dbo.Property_rental", column 'ID'. The statement has been terminated.
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 57 The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Ten_Prop_fk". The conflict occurred in database "master", table "dbo.Property_rental", column 'ID'. The statement has been terminated.

In 2000, BCP seemed the way to go. DTS packages would also work. My question is, in 2005, what is the best choice? I seem to remember that BCP ignored all referential integrity constraints, and applying them afterwords was a royal pain. I'm not a BCP expert by any means. Running this at the command line means using the DOS prompt correct?
Is there a property or a format type that I can use on a field to enter an excel formula and have it actually be a formula once it is saved to excel out of reporting services.
This is a 'what if' report. That the users want to fiddle with after it is generated.
I have item number, cost, sell price, and discount from the database. I calculate the gross profit and the percent from those fields. They want to take this report, save it to excel and then have the gross profit change when they enter a new discount amount.
I have tried to just enter the fields like they would look in excel but the report just shows A3 - A2. If I use the = before it will not run and says A3 is not defined. I have tried quotes, parenthesis, square brackets any thing that looked remotely possible in properties menu to have the values save as a formula.
I don't think it is possible but would like a second opinion.
I have 14 Windows folders containing a mix of Word and PDF documents. Each folder contains up to 500,000 files and these documents are the source for a document management system.
I need to create an audit table which can take the file names and date modified for every document in each folder but I want to avoid having to do a DOS command like dir *.* > filenames.txt then importing as a text file 14 times. Is there a way of automating this in T-SQL?
Each Windows folder is named by year e.g. 2002Docs, 2003Docs, 2004Docs etc.
Documents within the folders are named like this - 20020401_doc1.doc, 20020401_doc2, 20020401_doc678.pdf etc.
I created a Fact Table with 3 Keys from dimension tables, like Customer Key, property key and territory key. Since I can ONLY have one Identity key on a table, what do I need to do to avoid populating NULLs on these columns..
OK, I'm pretty sure that the answer to my questions is "no", but the boss is pushing, and I thought I'd double check.
I want the selection of one report parameter to decide what shows up for another report parameter. Specifically in my case it has to do with dates. I have narrowed the results down to monthly dates, meaning that the starting dates always start with mm/1/yyyy and the ending dates are always mm/31/yyyy (for a 31 day month).
The boss wants the ending dates to always be >= the month of the starting dates. So, if the user choose 1/1/2007 for starting, the minimum ending date would be 1/31/2007, etc.. Since the parameters are loaded at report initiation, and SSRS isn't really event driven, I didn't think this was possible. I just wanted to make sure before I tell the boss that it's not. Please advise.
I have a ssrs report having 2 tables in with 4 columns in each. When I go to export option in preview I can see all data coming in one excel sheet, But I am trying to get 2 tables in 2 different pages in Excel when I export.First page of excel comes with first table data with 4 columns and second page of excel comes with second table data with 4 columns .
The version of Report Builder I have will only let me choose from a very limited range of layouts. For example, the tabular layout displays a single table on a page.
Is there a way to produce a report containing two tables and other fields?
For example, I would like to create a very simple customer report with customer name and address at the top, then a table containing all contacts I have for the the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer) and then a second table containing all the orders from the customer (a 1:N sub-table of customer).
Is this possible in the current version of Report Builder or is it planned in a future relase?
P.S. I know this is easy in VS Report Designer but I specifically want to do this in Report Builder. The Report Designer client is simply too complex for my non-technical user base. Report Builder would be ideal.

I've got the following code and it's not really what I want. With the below code I can select in a dropdownlist a value and in the other dropdownlist the correspondending value will be selected. But when I select a value the second dropdownlist won't be filled with all the data in the database. It is filled only with the correspondending value and not with the rest of the value. When someone changes his mind and want to select a value in the dropdownlist it can't be done.

I have a table with a list of products,once I enter the data into the table and start using it on my web site as a drop down list,the list is sorted as an alphabetical list,is there are way to have a single drop down list but still be able to group the those products,in order words force them not to get sorted aphabetically.
I have a DataSet (which requires 2 parameters), and for some reason even though it works in Query Analyzer and on the Data Tab of VS2003 it will not work when I choose to Preview it. Can anybody shed some light on this behaviour?
If you need to see the dataSet I can post it up! Thanks!
I am trying to build a report that will present data from 2 sql tables. Here is the scenario:
I have 2 Tbales:
1. TimeSlots - has SlotID and Time columns
2. Reserv - has SlotID, Name, Comments, Date
I am trying to build a report that will show all SlotID's from TimeSlots for a certain Day. The report should show all Time slots regardles if there is a reservation for that TimeSlot, also the Name and Comments for the Time Slot that is reserved.
The idea is that if a time slot is not reserved it should still print on the report which will then be given to the user who will manually pencil in the data should a pop up reservation occurs.

There are two separate SQL Server databases involved that reside on two different servers. One of the depts within our building wants to have building permit data imported from Permit Database on Server "A" to their own database on Server "B".
I dont think this will be an overly complicated process. There are only a few fields they want populated (5 or 6 tops). This will have to be ran every weeknight via some sort of scheduled task in Windows or SQL.
I was just interested in seeing if anyone has had prior experience working on data transfer like this. I would like to know what would be the best and most efficient way to approach this.
