I am having a problem with several reports at work. We use an SQL
generator package where we fill in a template, and the system
generates SQL code.
The reports I have been running at a low level return a sales value of
$96,000 for a specific office for 2006.
Here is my filter,
Office = 23
Region = Northeast
Product Cat = (several different categories)
Year = 2006
When I added some additional columns, the sale for the same office
went to over $9 Million. When I analyzed this further, I found all
offices in the region were being returned for the second report, and
thus I ended up with the sales for all of the regions sales.
What I am really confused about is how using the exact same filter, a
simple report can show one number and then by adding some facts or
columns my sales went up. (and I did confirm character by character
we are using the same filter.)
Is this explainable based on some principle of SQL I am unfamiliar
with?
One explanation I received from IT, who is too busy to look at my
problem, is that by adding additional columns, I essentially asked our
SQL generator to set up a larger join than I expected.
If this were true, wouldn't the filter still eliminate records that
don't meet the filter requirements?
I suspect the SQL generator applied the filter at the wrong spot. I
tried looking at the SQL: code, but it is very complicated.
So I am turning to this forum to see if anyone can think of a logical
explanation that would allow SQL to in effect return a larger dataset
than my original report.
Hi! we have no Business Intelligence solution in my job and the general manager asked for a query and reports system where he (and other section managers and non IT staff) could query the corporative database (we work in healthcare, so it's mostly about patients, clinic histories, treatments) so I will propose them SQL SERVER 2005. I'll tell you my general idea and maybe you could tell me if I'm right: Through Integration Services we will load our data from the corporative database (it's Borland's InterBase) and generate a datawarehouse (now we don't have a datawarehouse) then through Reporting Services we can query this datawarehouse to generate different reports (this reports can be generated for non-technical staff, but staff who knows quite a lot about for example the different treatments that different groups of patients follow, so this staff may want to query about which patients followed which treatment in a period of time and generate by himself a report about that). And through Analysis Services we could (in a future) generate some OLAP solutions, Data Mining etc
But for the query and report system it could be enough to start with Integration Services and Reporting Services? it's very important for this system to work efficiently in terms of time: the non-technical staff generates the query and in seconds receives the report result... some of this non IT staff who will use the system knows exactly which information we house in each InterBase table, so through this system they would like to generate their own queries and reports (this is a different level of non-IT staff who is in between a Medical doctor and a Software engineer, this staff does have some technical background specially in SQL.
So my idea is to have an SQL SERVER 2005 to which this staff gets connected via LAN (all this system runs locally in one corporative place, will not run through Internet) feeded by the InterBase corporative database and delivering efficiently queries and reports... is this possible? could I test this using the trial free 6 months version? and after that if everything's working fine how much will I have to pay for 15 persons to access the SQL SERVER 2005 for keeping using the system?

I have 6 separate mailing label like reports with a textbox inside a cell. I tried to join them into one report with subreports"but" it does not work since you need the print layout in order to get both columns to show. What is the best way to accomplish this task?
HelloWhen I use a PreparedStatement (in jdbc) with the following query:SELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = ?ORDER BY group_nameIt takes a significantly longer time to run (the time it takes forexecuteQuery() to return ) than if I useSELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = 'M'ORDER BY group_nameAfter tracing the problem down, it appears that this is not preciselya java issue, but rather has to do with the underlying cost of runningparameterized queries.When I open up MS Enterprise Manager and type the same query in - italso takes far longer for the parameterized query to run when I usethe version of the query with bind (?) parameters.This only happens when the table in question is large - I am seeingthis behaviour for a table with > 1,000,000 records. It doesn't makesense to me why a parameterized query would run SLOWER than acompletely ad-hoc query when it is supposed to be more efficient.Furthermore, if one were to say that the reason for this behaviour isthat the query is first getting compliled and then the parameters aregetting sent over - thus resulting in a longer percieved executiontime - I would respond that if this were the case then A) it shouldn'tbe any different if it were run against a large or small table B) thisperformance hit should only be experienced the first time that thequery is run C) the performance hit should only be 2x the time for thenon-parameterized query takes to run - the difference in response timeis more like 4-10 times the time it takes for the non parameterizedversion to run!!!Is this a sql-server specific problem or something that would pertainto other databases as well? I there something about the coorect use ofbind parameters that I overall don't understand?If I can provide some hints in Java then this would be great..otherwise, do I need to turn/off certain settings on the databaseitself?If nothing else works, I will have to either find or write a wrapperaround the Statement object that acts like a prepared statement but inreality sends regular Statement objects to the JDBC driver. I wouldthen put some inteligence in the database layer for deciding whetherto use this special -hack- object or a regular prepared statementdepending on the expected overhead. (Obviously this logic would onlybe written in once place.. etc.. IoC.. ) HOWEVER, I would desperatelywant to avoid doing this.Please help :)
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?

We've got a requirement to build the real time report. user can browse report at any point of time and need to see the latest data(stock market) in the report.
I've few options down...
1. Directly point to OLTP database as source and write stored procedure to show result set.
2. Replicate the database and write the SP's to reports. To avoid pointing directly to OLTP db.
3. To build the datawarehouse with dim & facts to show it in reports. I prefer this as a standard method, but this would have some latency depending on trasaction load which will differ from the requirement.
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
My reporting manager and reporting server were working fine in IIS. But when I booted the system one day, one error message came "Unexpected error" for the IIS. So I removed the IIS and reinstalled he same.
But after that, I tried to give virtual directories to reporting manager and reporting server sites. But it ain't working. Could you please help me?

I have an update query which either inserts a row or increases quantity, depending if row exists or not. It works, better than my explanation probably.After that query could be a good time to count total of all calculated sub sums.Something like this. previous queryEND goSELECT SUM(SubTotal)FROM dbo.t_Shoppings I have tried this on the tool which has a long name, but I think my way didn't work. (Microsoft sql server management studio express)Is this possible or do I have make and call another stored procedure.I can send my sp if someone wants.

I just upsized my Access2K db to SQL. I am using Front Page 2000 for my website. When I had the database as Access, I was able to use one of my Access queries as my record source for my data base. I was able to choose between my queries AND my tables as the source for my records. Now that I've upsized, I am no longer given that choice. My only choices are the tables. Unfortunately, my database is designed to pull records from a query, not just a table. So my question is, in FP2000, how do I use a QUERY from my newly upsized SQL db as my record source?
I have a query that requires multiple joins and has several one-to-many relationships with other tables. The basic query I have is this:
Code:
SELECT TOP 50 eventID,eventTitle,eventAbstract,eventInsertDate,eventUpdateDate,eventAuthID_fk, eo.eventOccurrenceID,eo.eoDescription,eo.eoApprovedDate, l.LocationID,l.LocationShortName,c.categoryID,c.categoryName,a.ageID,a.ageDescription FROM enm_eventOccurrence eo INNER JOIN enm_events e ON e.eventID=eo.eoEventID_fk LEFT JOIN (enm_categories_occurrence co LEFT JOIN enm_categories c ON c.categoryID=co.co_categoryID_fk) ON eo.eventOccurrenceID=co.co_eventOccurrenceID_fk LEFT JOIN (enm_location_occurrence lo LEFT JOIN location l ON lo.lo_locationID_fk=l.LocationID) ON lo.lo_eventOccurrenceID_fk=eo.eventOccurrenceID LEFT JOIN (enm_ages_occurrence ao LEFT JOIN enm_ages a ON ao.ao_ageID_fk=a.ageID) ON ao.ao_eventOccurrenceID_fk=eo.eventOccurrenceID
This works, but it will pull out multiple rows for the same eventOccurrenceID (the PK for eventOccurrence) because of the several one-to-many relationships. For instance, there could be multiple categories, locations and ages for one event occurrence, so this will produce multiple rows. But, since I need to get only a limited of rows, the TOP will fail since there are multiple rows for each, and there's no way to tell how many rows exactly will come out (so just multiplying the TOP value is out of the question). Using DISTINCT or GROUP BY also seems to be out of the question, since I need to have the fields from the one-to-many tables in the SELECT list but cannot GROUP BY them.
My proposed solution is to run a query selecting only the eventOccurrenceID and using the WHERE information that the user is requesting, then running another query (with the full select list) with a "WHERE eventOccurrenceID IN (". But, I hate using two queries and just wonder if there's a better way around this.
I frequently need to run ad hoc queries against a database, capturing the output in a text file. In SQL Server 2000 I used Query Analyzer with no problems. In 2005 I'm trying to use the query function in Management Studio-but the output is (so far) unusable due to a Null character (hex 00) that follows every 'real' character. I assume this is due to Unicode but haven't found any way (yet) to tell it to just output in plain everyday text. (ASCII or ANSI-either will work.)
Is there some other tool I can use for SQL queries?
1. name, surname of the plasma donators(type='plasma'), with Sex='F' and younger than 45 years old.
My solution: SELECT d.Name, d.Surname FROM Donators d, Filles f WHERE d.Id=d.IdFile AND f.type='plasma' AND d.sex='F' AND d.age<45
2. average age of the plasma donators
SELECT AVG(d.age) FROM Donators d, Files f WHERE f.type='plasma'
3. the states which have more donators
I have no idea how to do it
4. the id's of the plasma donators from Chicago
SELECT d.id FROM Donators d, Files f, City c WHERE d.id=f.idfile AND d.idcity=c.idcity AND f.type='plasma' AND c.name='Chicago'
5. the id's of the cities without plasma donators
SELECT c.idcity FROM City c WHERE NOT IN (SELECT c.idcity FROM City c, Donators d, Files f WHERE f.idfile=d.id AND f.type='plasma' AND d.idcity=c.idcity)
6. remove the donators older than 80, after having removed the corresponding files
No idea how to do it
In conclusion, could you tell me if my queries are correct and help me with the others?
Table 'dbo.tblonenet_sdt_proj_hold' Schema as follows:
cust_id int dateon DATETIME dateoff DATETIME
There are two possibilites
1) Its no longer on hold and so a dateon and dateoff value will be in the table.
2) Its still on hold and so dateoff will be NULL.
I want to add the total time its been on hold between the two dates and there could be multiple entires for cust_id 802
SELECT Hon,Hoff FROM
(SELECT sum(dbo.GetBusinessdays(dbo.tblonenet_sdt_proj_hol d.dateon,getdate())) FROM dbo.tblonenet_sdt_proj_hold WHERE cust_id='802' AND dateoff IS NULL) AS HON
[code]...
The resulting error in SQL Management Studio 2005 is 'No column was specified for column 1 of 'HON'.'
I am creating a interaction application for alton towers available through a website (using asp.net). This website is connected to a database(sql server 2000) containing infomation on different shops, rides, restaurants and facilities at the park.
I have inputted data to my database. The user should be able to do searches such as: rides (and shops or all) available in a certain area. rides in a certain area above a certain height rescrictions. etc
I'm confused. I have used SQL statements before and I know it is possible to retrieve this information from the database, but how should I go about this and how should I be storing this information so that I am able to call it from the front teir.
I have read up on views, stored procedures and triggers and I'm a bit lost. Should I be creating all the possible queries and then store them as a view (or stored procedure) I thought I would just have to write a sql statement but it seems a lot more confusing...
and what about triggers and user defined statements??
how do i make a querie that finds relations to a "part number" for models, and assemblies, but when it finds a relation of part number with a Product, it gives additional attributes for information? this code that i have so far doesn't do waht i want,, showing
