Hi All,
I'm building a quick and dirty SQL/IIS application and I need to have the server print a 'receipt' page whenever a record is submitted from one of several workstations. I am looking for good ways to do this. The receipt will need to have custom fonts (barcodes). Anyone have any suggestions? Reliability is key.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have a SQL Server Job that I would like to run when I receive an email saying "Data is now ready to be imported to SQL Server" ?
Is there a way to accomplish this.

Whenever something is inserted to a given table, I want to run someshell commands using xp_cmdshell. Would it be a bad idea to put thisxp_cmdshell in the INSERT trigger of this table?I understand that when using xp_cmdshell, the sql thread in questionwaits until xp_cmdshell finishes what it's doing. Does this mean ifmy xp_cmdshell call takes 30 seconds, that nobody else can insert tothis table until my xp_cmdshell and rest of the insert trigger finishup?The alternative solution seems to be frequent polling of the table inquestion; while this isn't really a great solution it would seem tocircumvent a table lock brought about by the INSERT trigger.Thoughts?Joel

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex
8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
Thanks!
BCP thru xp_cmdshell from stored procedure:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1;
RECONFIGURE
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp database.dbo.table in c:scheduled.csv -S SERVERSQLEXPRESS -T -t, -r -c -e "error.txt"';
This is returning the following error code. I even tried placing the command in a seperate command file and calling that with no success. If I run this from the command line the error file generation does work.
=================================================================
SQLState = HY000, NativeError = 0

Error message when using BULK INSERT as follows:

The Bulk Insert actually creates a empty error.txt file (0kb) and never preforms the insert, I can not find any examples of anyone using the -ERRORFILE switch on BULK INSERT. Prolly some default security setting to allow file creation/modification I am missing. Anyone help me out? Thanks.
EDIT: SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2005 - WINXP PRO SP2
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query:
SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount,
T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount,
T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid,
T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled,
T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student
FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN
T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo
GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount,
T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo,
T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student
HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo.
30429
Cheque
250
Deposit
250
30429
679.98
250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result.
So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I looked through a couple of database books I have and I really didn't find anything about printing.
My question is can you print the data directly from a database in C# or do you have to write it all to a textfile then print the textfile?
Be easier just to do it from the database and eliminate the text coding, just not sure you can do that.
Hi,
I am developing an applicaiton through which, i want to print from pocket pc emulator 2003. I am using PrinterCE.NETCF SDK to do this task. I am able to print from my applicaiton like we do in ASP (Printing one line at a time). In PrinterCE, there is an option of printing the output to a file. But, I am not able to find how we do it.
So, I want to know how we can print the output through PrinterCe into a file. Can anybody help me??

Hey all,
I'm new to SQL and am having some troubles w/ a problem I was given.
I have two tables (OrderTableA & OrderTableB) which are linked by an OrderID. What I need to do is have the two tables printed out to two txt files. Below is the code I have so far.
CREATE TABLE OrderTableA(
OrderIDNUMBER,
OrderDateCHAR(24),
CustomerIDCHAR(8),
TotalDEC);
CREATE TABLE OrderTableB(
OrderIDNUMBER,
QuantityNUMBER,
DiscountNUMBER,
UnitPriceDEC);
SELECT OrderID, "#" + OrderDate AS OrderDate, "&" + CustomerID AS CustomerID, Total
FROM OrderTableA;
SELECT OrderID, Quantity, Discount, UnitPrice
FROM OrderTableB;
The txt file for OrderTableA has to look like this:
!!OrderID OrderDate CustomerID Total
---------- ----------- ----------- ------
123456 #123456 &123456 123456
with the !! before OrderID in the header, the # before OrderID in the table and the & before the CustomerID in the table.
I'm not sure my code above is correct so far, and I've no idea how to print this to two txt files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Hi i'm having a problem in printing a reporting services report. Between each page it's giving me a white paper. What can i do in order not to get the white papers anymore? Any help?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a script or SP that takes a very long time to performmultiple tasks, and after each one there is a PRINT statementthat shows the time and what was just accomplished, to help memonitor what's happening and estimate how long it will take.In a script, I can put a GO after each PRINT to cause the outputto appear immediately, but that's not possible inside an SP.Instead, it seems the output goes to a buffer, and the bufferis only output when a PRINT causes the buffer to become full.Sometimes there is a long delay before the buffer fills. Isthere a way other than GO to cause immediate printing? (Iguess I could just use longer messages, and fill up thebuffer with every one, but that's not very elegant.)Thanks,Jim GCountrywide Home Loans

Hi All,
We have created reports with page size width : 11in and height : 8.5in so that we get pages printed in the landscape mode. We use HP LaserJet 3500 and reports were printing correctly in landscape format.
Everything was working fine till we introduced a new printer Dell 1110 laser printer to the environment.
When we have our Dell 1110 laser printers set as default, the page setup IS NOT set to landscape and when I manually change it to landscape, it prints in a compressed portrait image rather than landscape.
However when the HP LaserJet 3500 is set as the default, it prints correctly in landscape.
As the client is using Dell 1110 laser printers i need to fix this issue immediately.
Can someone guide me in resolving this issue..
Thanks!
Is there a way to save print settings with the report so that settings such as the size of paper (A4, legal...) and layout (landscape, portrait) do not have to be specified by user everytime she wishes to print the report?
Hi everyone,
For some odd reason the footer of my report never gets printed. The footer contains the page number and report name and is very important to my report. I made sure the margins are 1 inches for all sides, made sure Footers printing in first and last pages are checked in the properties section, and gave it a large amount of space around the textbox. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Also, the header and body prints correctly.
Thanks

Hello everybody,
i have used report viewer control in my win app, (c#, .net 2.0) and from msql i get data, fill necessary tableadapters and print report. Everything works fine on my computer, i generate report from template, push Print button in report viewer, Print dialog appears and i print the report by clicking OK.
The problem occurs in another computer, where i launch my app, i generate report, push Print button, and when appears print dialog happen strange things:
1. In print dialog i push "Print" button once, and nothing happens, Print dialog is still on top, then i push second time Print and then i can see that to pages is sended to printer (but my report is only one page). Printer does nothing, in printer schedulles there is no jobs.
2. So i press Print button in report viewer second time, Print dialog appears again, i click Print button nothing happens, then i push second time Print button i can see that 1 page is sended to printer, Print dialog disapear and now printer print my report correctly.
and this mesh is everytime i generate report and want to print it. Printer is installed correctly, i tried newest drivers for it. For example with ms office word everything works fine.
Could it be report viewer bug? what are the ways to find out what is wrong?
Hi all,
I have a web interface and using that web Interface I am viewing the report in Report Viewer.
I have tried to print that report using the Print button on the Report Viewer. If its a large report, say around 100 pages, then the report takes a lot of time to print. It keeps on showing the "Printing Now..." dialogue box on the web interface for a long time. When I checked the printer status, it keeps on showing "spooling". Because of this, the printer takes around 12-13 minutes to spool and then print.
My system configuration is 2.0 GHz processor and 1 GB Ram. Also, the report is fairly simple.
Please tell me why this could be happening. What could be wrong.
Thanks a lot in advance for all the help.

I have a problem when i print reports.
I have a parameter that change font type.
I select Agfa Rotis Sans Serif and the report change the text with that font. I can see that in my navigator.
If i print the report with ie (File/print) the report is print ok.
If i print the report using the reporting services print button the report is not print with that font.
The font is install in the server and in the client.
That ocurrs only in some machines and i don't know why.
At first, that font was not installed in the server and occurs the same. In some machines the print were ok and in some machines don't.
I don't understand anything. If the problem is in the server configuration i don't understand why there are machines that print correctly the font and if the problem is in the client neither cause all machines have that font installed and in some machines is print ok and in other not.
Any ideas?

I am having trouble printing a database diagram.
When I do, I get junk artifacts on the page on each table, shaded areas that obscure part of the picture.
I get these results when I print with Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and when I print to my HP4200N laser printer.
Is there a required driver or something?
Please advise.

Hi guys,
I know that the PRINT statements only print after a certain process is done, not when the actual PRINT statment is executed. Can someone explain when exactly does it print them and is there a way to make the print statment show right away?
