Building Dynamic Query Based On Dropdownlist Contents
Feb 18, 2008Thanks in advance for taking the tiemt o read this post:
I am workingon an application in vb.net 2008 and I have 5 drop down lists on my page.
I have code that worked in .net 2005 for my databind but would like to use new features in 08 to do this same thing.
Here is my 05 code how would I do this same things in 08?
Dim db As New DataIDataContext
Dim GlobalSQLstr As String
GlobalSQLstr = "select Orig_City, ecckt, typeflag, StrippedEcckt, CleanEcckt, ManualEcckt, Switch, Vendor, FP_ID, order_class, Line_type, id from goode2 where 1=1"

Keep A Multi-valued Parameter Cleared From Selections Until The User Select His Choice
Apr 28, 2008I have a report that includes two multi-valued parameters.
In the Default Values section, I choose 'from query' and select dataset and value field.
In the Available Values section, I choose 'from query' select the same dataset and value field, and in the label field I select the relevant label field.
When I run the report my multi-valued parameters look like I selected the option 'select all' (all options are selected).
How can I keep the multi-valued parameters cleared from selections until the user select his choice? Thanks in advance.

Jul 29, 2015I am new to SSAS. I have requirement to build a cube based on SQL Stored procedure. This Stored Procedure contains lot of temp tables, which are aggregated as measure columns.
Initially I have done creating views on each temp table, finally I created a view which calls like 15 views. when I try to execute the view, it is taking long time to execute the view.
I tried building cube on this view, when I try to deploy, even it is taking long time to deply..I have waited for 2 hours, still the deployement process going..
What I wonder is, is there any other way I can build cube based on SQL stored Procedure.
SQL 2012 :: How To Execute One Query From SP Based On User Selection
Dec 22, 2014I have a SSRS report with 6 columns each column containing count of total# of applicants meeting certain criteria.
User want to click on each column and see the basic information and also want to get the ability to export the data into excel.
I know that I can create 6 drillthrough reports with basic information of applicants and link it to the count from each column respectively but I was wondering if it is possible to write a Stored procedure with all 6 select queries and execute only 1 select query based on the column that user clicks on main report ?
Power Pivot :: Building A Model Based On Multinational Model With Different Languages?
Oct 19, 2015 I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.
Productnr Productdesc Language
1 product EN
1 produkt DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).
Help With Building Query
Feb 14, 2007Hello,
This will probably be trivial and basic for most, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the best way to do a SELECT statement. First, let me explain what I have:
Two tables:
Table 1:
Orders
Some of the fields:
ID
PropID
WorkOrderNum
OrderDesc
DateCompleted
Table 2:
OrderDetail
ID
OrderID
TenantName
As you probably have realized, the OrderID in my 'OrderDetail' table corresponds to the ID field in my 'Orders' table. The 'Orders' table contains the order header information, while the OrderDetail contains line items for that order - 1 line item per record.
Here is my SQL statement to retrieve an order when searching by the 'Order Description' (Orders.OrderDesc):
SELECT PropertyLocations.PropertyLocation, Orders.ID, Orders.PropID, Orders.WorkOrderNum, Orders.OrderDesc, Orders.DateCompleted FROM PropertyLocations, ORDERS WHERE PropertyLocations.ID = Orders.PropID AND OrderDesc LIKE '%lds%'
Ok, so now for the 'big' question/problem: I also need to be able to search the 'Tenant Name' field from the 'OrderDetail' table. So what is the best/most efficient way of doing that? The other stipulation about that is that there can be (and usually is) several records/line items (in the OrderDetail table, of course) that contains the same (or similar) data, but I don't want duplicates. And when I say duplicates, all I care about is retrieving a few fields (as you can see from my SQL statement) from the 'Orders' table. Another way to describe what I want is that I want all unique orders that have a 'TenantName' in the 'OrderDetail' table that matches the search criteria. My brain just isn't wanting to figure this out right now, so I was hoping someone could help me out.
thanks.
A Query Building Question
Jan 30, 2006Hi there,
i have a query building question and was hoping that one of you would know the answer.
Here is what i need to do :(i am using asp.net and ado.net)
I have 1 table where I store thedata, where 5 criteria determine a unique row in this table. Now, this has recently changed as the start date was added. So there potentially can be more than one entry in the table with same 5 criteria, but different start date.
I need to retrieve the row with the latest start date (currently active). The problem arises when the users enter less than 5 criteria. In this case the results may not possess same 5 criteria. Say the user searches based on 2 criteria. Then all the rows possessing these 2 ctieria will be returned, but other 3 criteria might differ with the results set.
But, i only need the latest start date row for each row. So for example, if i searched on 2 criteria, i got back 4 rows, 2 of which possess the same 5 criteria. But between these 2 i only need to display ONE row to the user - the one with the latest date.
How do i build a query? say the table name is tbl, and criteria 1 to 5 fields are called c1 ... c5, and start date field is called start_date.
thanks in advance
Building A Table From SQL Query
Apr 21, 2006I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this.I have query that returns all the colums in a row (SELECT * FROM table WHERE value = 'value') and I need to build a table with this data. Some of the columns may not have values in them, and so I dont want to build a table row for it. I also need to use the column name as the table header. As an example:==============================Column Name || Column Value-----------------||-----------------Column Name || Column Value
-----------------||-----------------
I hope I have explained myself properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ASP - Building A Query - Question
Feb 12, 2007Good Afternoon!
I have a (hopefully) simple question.
I have recently been bumped into an applications developer position. I took a week of ASP training a few months ago, but outside of that my exposure to ASP and SQL has been EXTREMELY limited.
I just undertook my first project using these skills. We have an application where I track "Letters". I fill out a form with information regarding the Letter, and save it so there is a record of the letters existence and what its status is.
Afterwards, we want to update the status, so I find the saved form, make my edits, and save it.
This is where my problem starts.
When I first save the letter, I have no problems whatsoever.
When I save it a second time after making my edits, I get an error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'yearID'.
/AuditFlowChart/UpdateAudit.asp, line 206
What I am doing with the ASP is basically created a SQL statement to update the table with the new letter information. I added a line to print out the store proceedure that is being created by the following line
Set rsRecordsetObject = objCOMComponentClassObject.ExecuteSQLStatement(spStoredProcedure,vntSQLServerName,dbDatabaseCatalog)
I print out spStoredProcedure and I get the following
UpdateCorrespondence @p_idCorr = 416,
@p_dtOfLetter = '8/7/2008',
@p_dtRcvdByRespAtty = '2/19/2007',
@p_dtRcvdByAdmin = '2/23/2007',
@p_descOfEntity = 'This is a test 2009 letter. Dated 2/8/2007',
@p_ClientCode = '01074',
@p_MatterCode = '0055',
@p_dtDue = '3/15/2007',
@p_dtEffective = '4/18/2007',
@p_dtYE = '4/8/2007',
@p_respAtty = '0330',
@p_respAttyFull = 'Abelson, H. Edward',
@p_prepParalegal = 'Aldous, Anne Marie',
@p_prepAtty = 'Abromowitz, David',
@p_prepLitParalegal = 'Allegrini, J. Samuel',
@p_dtGivenToParalegal = '4/20/2007',
@p_dtGivenToAtty = '2/28/2007',
@p_dtMemoCirculated = '2/18/2007',
@p_dtRespSentToLitParalegal = '2/10/2007',
@p_dtRespSentToPrepAtty = '2/26/2007',
@p_dtSentToAccountant = '2/15/2007',
@p_memoDSid = 1111111,
@p_respLetterDSid = 2222222,
@p_sideLetterDSid = 3333333,
@p_comments = NULL,
@p_yearID = rsLetterDetail1('yearID'),
@p_opinion = 1,
@p_complete = 0,
@p_userID = 'GSSUSO1517'
When I run the above thru Query Analyzer, I get the following:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 26
Line 26: Incorrect syntax near 'yearID'.
So now I know where my error lies, but I am not sure where to look next. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a problem I am not seeing with the query?
Any help would be wonderful and much appreciated.
Building Query Graphically
Sep 13, 2007Hi,
I'm using 2005 management studio express.
Can I use the graphical query builder to specify tables from more than one database?
I know I can do this in sql in the format database..table.column but in the query builder it only shows tables from the current database. Can you get around this?
Thanks
Assistance Building A Query...
Jun 15, 2006I am trying to generate some datasets with some queries...With a given series information, it should return PART_NOs that has STD= 1 and a unique price at that particular 'START', and keeping the'TYPE' in consideration...DB examples below:Main DBIDPART_NOSERIESSTD1A-1A12A-2A13A-3A14D-1D15D-2D0Price DBIDPART_IDTYPESTARTPRICE501X100050511X1000040521Y100060531Y1000050542X100050552X1000040562Y100060572Y1000050582X100090etc.main.ID and Price.PART_ID are paired together.So in an example case, lets say I am querying for SERIES A, with TYPEX. A table should be outputted something likePART_NOA-1100050A-11000040A-3100090Note how it skipped printing A2 because the price is the same as A1.I'm really looking for the SQL code here... I can't get it to filter ondistinct price.SELECT MAIN.PART_NO, PRICING.START, PRICING.PRICEFROM MAIN, PRICINGWHERE (MAIN.SERIES LIKE 'A')AND (MAIN.STD = '1')AND (PRICING.PRICE != '')AND (PRICING.TYPE = 'X')AND (MAIN.ID = PRICING.PART_ID)I've been trying to use GROUP BY and HAVING to get what I need but itdoesn't seem to fit the bill. I guess I'm not terribly clear on how Ican use the SQL DISTINCT command...? If I try and use it in my WHEREstatement it gives me syntax errors, from what I understand you canonly have distinct in the select statement? I'm not sure how tointegrate that into the query to suit my needs.Thanks for any help.

Help With Parameterized Query Building Dataset
Feb 27, 2007I have a class that works fine using the SQLDataReader but when I try and duplicate the process using a Dataset instead of a SQLDataReader it returnsa a null value.
This is the code for the Method to return a datareader
public SqlDataReader GetOrgID()
{
Singleton s1 = Singleton.Instance();
Guid uuid;
uuid = new Guid(s1.User_id);
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString);
string selectString = "Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @UserID";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(selectString, con);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;
con.Open();
SqlDataReader dtr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
return dtr;
This is the code trying to accomplish the same thing with a Dataset instead.
public DataSet organID(DataSet dataset)
{
Singleton s1 = Singleton.Instance();
Guid uuid;
uuid = new Guid(s1.User_id);
string queryString = "Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @UserID";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, con);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
adapter.Fill(dataset);
return dataset;
}
Assume that the conString is set to a valid connection string. The Singlton passes the userid in from some code in the code behind page ...this functionality works as well.
So assume that the Guid is a valid entry..I should return a valid dataset but its null.
Building Dynamic SQL Query Strings
Jan 17, 2008Let me start by asking that no one try to convince me to use Stored Procs. The examples below are a lot more simplistic then my real world code and it just gets too complicated to try to manage the quantity of SPs that I would need.
I have an application that displays a lot of data and I've created a system for users to filter the data using checkboxlist controls, dropdown controls, etc. From this, I have a "core" query that selects the fields that display in my GridView. It has a base Select clause, From clause and Where clause. From this I then add more to the Where clause to apply these filter values.
Here's an example "core" query:
SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, ProjectWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCode
From this if a user want's to only display profiles from NC, they could select that from the CBL and the query would be modified to:
SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, ProjectWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.State IN ('NC')
My code would add the last line above since the user specified that they only wanted NC profiles.
This is very simple and I have this already going on with my application. Here's the problem. In order to accommodate all of the various filters, I have to inner join and left join a bunch of various tables. Many times I include tables that have no data to display or filter on and therefore impacts performance. Here's an example:
SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, Project, AgentWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.AgentID = Agent.AgentID
From the query above, I have included the Agent table that holds the agent's contact information. One of my filters allows the user to type in an agents name to find all profiles assigned to it. Here's what that would look like:
SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, Project, AgentWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.AgentID = Agent.AgentIDAND Agent.Name = 'Smith, John'
You can see now that it was necessary to have the Agent table already joined into the query so that when I used the agent name filter, it wouldn't crash out on me.
The obvious thing would be to only include the Agent table when searching for an agent name. This is ultimately what I'm looking to do, but I need a solid method to go about doing this. Keep in mind that I currently have 16 tables in my "core" query and many of those are not needed unless the filters call for it.
If anyone has any ideas on how to simplify this process I'm selcome to suggestions. We're using SQL 2000, but are looking to upgrade to SQL 2005, if that makes any difference. I know that the way I do table joins is compliant with SQL 2005 and I'm certainly open to suggestions that will make it forward compatible.
This app is using .NET 2.0 and written in VB.NET. Thanks for any help!
Building A Dynamic Query Into A Stored Procedure
Apr 19, 2008Hi i have a page whereby the user can make a search based on three things, they are a textbox(userName), dropdownlist(subcategoryID), and region (regionID). The user does not have to select all three, he or she can enter a name into the textbox alone and make the search or enter a name into the textbox and select a dropdownlist value, my question is how can i build this procedure, I tried this but it didnt work;
Code:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_UserFind]
(
@userName varchar(100),
@subCategoryID INT,
@regionID INT
)
AS
declare @StaticStr nvarchar(5000)
set @StaticStr = 'SELECT DISTINCT SubCategories.subCategoryID, SubCategories.subCategoryName,
Users.userName ,UserSubCategories.userID
FROM Users INNER JOIN UserSubCategories ON Users.userID= UserSubCategories.userIDINNER JOIN
SubCategories ON UserSubCategories.subCategoryID = SubCategories.subCategoryID WHERE UserName like @UserName'
if(@subCategoryID <> 0)
set @StaticStr = @StaticStr + ' and SubCategories.subCategoryID = @subCategoryID '
if(@regionID <> 0)
set @StaticStr = @StaticStr + ' and SubCategories.RegionId = @regionID '
exec sp_executesql @StaticStr
)
Building/Issueing A Query With A Field With A Quote In It?
Sep 8, 2006Using a language that using A4GL to connect to the database. From within the language(COBOL) we have the ability to add a simple query. All is fine with one exception. Some of the fields might have a quote mark in it.
we have a field in particular that a lot of our clients like to put an apostrophe in. such as 0001A'06, 2'11" and so on. Now from inside our programs and using the simple query we add something like 'where ap_id = '0001A'06' which i know is an error but is there a way around this or a way to make it work?
Building A Query In A Stored Proc With String
Feb 27, 2008This should be an easy enough answer to find if I just knew what to search on!
I am building a query within my stored procedure based on what parameters are passed in. For example, suppose I have a table with first name and last name. I can call the sp with either first name or last name or both, so I build a query accordingly that says:
select * from tblNames where FirstName = 'Hannah'
or
select * from tblNames where LastName = 'Montana'
or
select * from tblNames where FirstName = 'Hannah' and LastName='Montana'
My problem is putting the single quotes around the variable value.
SELECT @whereClause = @whereClause + ' AND tblNames.LastName=' @LastName-with-singlequotes-around-it
Thanks
Assistance Requested Building View Query
Apr 4, 2008The View SQL below takes 1:50 minutes to execute. I am looking for a way to improve processing time and keep the view select statements as simple as possible.
One part of the view that could be restructured is the lookup for the current term (TERM_TBL - bolded). When I hard code the current term my execution time drops to about 13 seconds
There are three possible values for the current term; one for each of our three acedemic careers (UGRD, CONT, & EXED). Could this information be looked up once and then each enrollment selected based upon the appropriate academic career current term value? If so, how would it be restructured? Currently, the lookup is done for every enrollment record.
There are no common fields between the NAMES table and the TERMS_TBL.
Code Snippet
SELECT A.EMPLID, A.LAST_NAME_SRCH, A.FIRST_NAME, A.MIDDLE_NAME, A.LAST_NAME
FROM NAMES A
WHERE A.EMPLID IN (
SELECT DISTINCT B.EMPLID
FROM STDNT_ENRL B
WHERE B.INSTITUTION = 'AAAAA'
AND B.STRM >= (
SELECT DISTINCT T.STRM
FROM TERM_TBL T
WHERE T.INSTITUTION = B.INSTITUTION
AND T.ACAD_CAREER = B.ACAD_CAREER
AND T.TERM_BEGIN_DT <= GETDATE()
AND T.TERM_END_DT >= GETDATE())
AND A.EMPLID NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT C.EMPLID
FROM SRVC_IND_DATA C
WHERE C.INSTITUTION = 'AAAAA'
AND C.SRVC_IND_CD = 'DPL' )
AND A.NAME_TYPE = 'PRI'
AND A.EFFDT = (
SELECT MAX(D.EFFDT)
FROM NAMES D
WHERE D.EMPLID = A.EMPLID
AND D.NAME_TYPE = 'PRI'
AND D.EFFDT <= GETDATE() )
Any suggestions will be gladly accepted. Keep in mind that the new and much improved must be legal within the context of a view select statement.
Thanks,
Steve
Error In Building SQL Query Within LIKE Statement For TableAdapter In Design Section
May 31, 2006ASP.net 2.0 (VB), SQL Server 2005:While creating a new TableAdapter in design section, I'm using the query builder and trying to write a query within "LIKE" statement as below -Example1: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE @'%TextBoxData%'Example2: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%@TextBoxData%'
but these query doesn't work...error in building query...any clue to make it work? If I remove "@" sure the query will work with normal but '%TextBoxData%' will become a hardcoding value...this is not I want...I want make the TextBoxData become a flexible value depend on the data what I enter in my text box like 'abc,123' not like 'TextBoxData'...
I know normally it supposed to be like:
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%" & TextBoxData.Text & "%'"
It can work when in Code Section, but not at this time...because now i'm trying to made it with "Query Builder" for TableAdapter " in Design Section...hmm did you get what I mean? Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance
Building Query Strings Within Stored Procs - Good Or Evil?
Feb 4, 2008I ran across this technique being used in an application the other day. It seems not a good idea to me. What do you think?
1. The proc builds a basic query, nothing real fancy, into a string variable called @SQL defined as varchar 2000. Depending on the result desired, the group by clause can be one of three different sort orders.
2. The string is executed via EXEC @SQL.
It seems to me that the whole process can eliminate the EXEC and just use some other construct. All the parameters are passed in via the initial call to the stored proc. It also seems that every time this is executed it will result in a new query compile and cache useage, no matter what. Wasteful? Should I take the developers aside and knock heads? I think the app was coded by some folks who were rookies then but may be willing to crack open their code. Or, am I the one that is a rookie?
Thanks for your inputs.
Selections
Apr 26, 2006here is my question
the way our companies are setup are as follows
company A is DatabaseA
Company B is DatabaseB
this was done to ensure company specific data.
now i need to create a proc that runs through DatabaseA gets all the tables, creates DatabaseC and insert all the Tables,Procedures, and data when the user creates a new company in our software interface.
if you could just help me cycle through the objects i can manage the rest.
thanks.
Filtering Selections
Feb 23, 2005Hi,
ok, i'm building a page to display a list of courses, a user rating and 'last visited' date.
I have 3 tables -
course (a list of all courses)
review (a list of all ratings)
visit (user visits to each course)
I've put together an SQL statment that returns everything i need, however its not quite right.
SELECT course.courseID, course.courseName, course.courseURL, avg(review.fldRating) AS fldAverage, visit.visitDate
FROM course
LEFT OUTER
JOIN review
ON course.courseId = review.fldcourseId
LEFT OUTER
JOIN visit
ON course.courseId = visit.courseId and visit.userId = 2
GROUP BY course.courseId, course.courseName, course.courseURL, visit.visitDate
ORDER BY course.courseId, visit.visitDate DESC
The problem lies with the fact that each time a user enters a course a new record is inserted into the visit table - so the visit table will show how many times a user has entered a course and on which dates.
this SQL statment returns something like this:
------------------------------------------------
course1 | 5 stars | 10/02/05
------------------------------------------------
course1 | 5 stars | 03/02/05
------------------------------------------------
course2 | 4 stars | 01/01/05
because the user has entered course 1 twice, the list is now showing 2 course1's - how can I change the statemtent to only select the most recent user visit, but still keep the complete list of courses?
I'm a bit of an SQL novice, so appologies if I've not explained this very well,
Thanks in advance,

Disctinct Selections
Apr 11, 2006Hi I am trying to figure out how to use the DISCTINCT function in s SELECT Query for one particular column, but output more that the disctinct column
for example:
table 1
Alan Andrews 1 main st 07465
John Andrews 1 main st 07465
Erick Andrews 1 main st 07465
I want to select by disctinct last name, but on my results I want to see all the other fields as well, and not just the last name. In this case the first name address and zip code.
So is there a way of doing this in SQL?
It does not have to be with the DISCTINCT function, but I need to net down to 1 per last name in a select query.
Thanks in advance!

Need A Way To Handle Multiple Selections
Oct 31, 2007I have a webform that lists all items (codes) on the left and selected items (codes) on the right. A user selects an item on the left and clicks a button to move it to the right side. An update changes the bit from 0 to 1. This uses the bit column in the table to determine what is listed on the left (0) or right (1) sides.
Then I can filter in my stored procedure on the bit column WHERE (dbo.tblCodes.CodeSelect = 1)
My problem with this is that if two or more users are doing this process on different sessions, they can trip over each others selections.
I'm hoping someone has a suggestion on how I might avoid the users having this problem.
Summing Different Combinations Of Selections
May 7, 2008I am quite new in sql. I am writing a report which takes data of one same column and summing them according to the type as described in another column("TR_1"."TTYPE"). So far I have succeeded to get the sum of only one type at a time (by putting WHERE "TR_1"."TTYPE" = or not equal the desired type). For example: I want to create two columns, one showing the sum of the budget and the other the some of the actuals: here is my SQL instruction (the column "TR_1"."TTYPE" give the record type):

Unique Selections In Back End
Oct 14, 2005I am using SQL 7 with an MS Access 2000 MDB front end, using bound formswith ODBC linked tables. In one form, the user needs to be able to check abox to select one or more records. This is accomplished with a local tablecontaining two fields: the primary key value of the SQL table and a booleanfield used for the check box.Since the local table used to contain the boolean field is local to the MDBfile, the result is a heterogeneous join in the underlying form query, whichdegrades performance. I would like to have the entire query be based on backend SQL data. However, each user needs to be able to make a unique set ofselections, without other users' selections affecting theirs.An idea I have is to port the selections table to the back end with anadditional field for machine name; create a view of the main table joined tothe selections table; link the view to the front end; and base the form onthe SQL: "Select * From MyView Where MachineName='MyMachine'".However, I wonder if there's a better approach. Any ideas would beappreciated.Thanks,Neil

Mar 29, 2007Hello,
I created a package using the import/export wizard in SSIS, that loads data from one database to the other. I am trying to find out how I can add and remove the tables that were originally selected when the package was created. I opened the package in BIDS, and I could not find that particular option. I know you can do this in 2000/DTS...
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you,

Saving Selections For Next Report Run?
Jun 28, 2006Hi All,
Don't think this can be done, but a user request, so thought I should ask anyway...
I have report with 11 filters (yes, I know thats overkill, but we aren't using analysis services) and the user has asked, if he wants to run it with the same selection criteria every month, can he do that without having to re-select them all?
Using RS 2000
thanx,

Feeding Selections Into A Stored Procedure
Aug 7, 2006Hello All,I'm not really sure where to post this as I'm not quite sure how to approach the problem; either whether it's an SQL problem or shoudl be addressed on the form.Anyway, on an .aspx page (using VB.NET) I have a drop down box and two text boxes. The user first selects a centre from the drop down and then enters a start and end date in the two text boxes. The user then clicks on a button which lists the results of a SQL server stored procedure using the specified parameters in a datagrid. All this is fine and works.Users however have requested an 'All centers' option in the drop down, which if selected, essentially means that instead of listing the results for a single centre, all centres are listed for the start and end dates specified.This is where I'm having problems. How do I feed this into my stored procedure? Is it a change in the procedure or something I need to do on the form?Any help appreciated.MoP.S. stored procedure look like this:------------------- @centreid int, @startdate varchar(20), @enddate varchar(20) ASSELECT centreid, datecreated, centrenameFROM tblcentresWHERE (DataLength(@startdate) = 0 OR CentreID = @CentreID)AND (DataLength(@startdate) = 0 OR datecreated >= @startdate)AND (DataLength(@enddate) = 0 OR datecreated <= @enddate)
View 4 Replies View RelatedSearch Based On User Input
Jul 25, 2007I have a search page that allows users to type/select values contined within the entry they're looking for. My SELECT statement returns columns in a table that get compared to the user input. So if someone selected Status (Open) then all of the 'Open' Request entries should populate the search page. How do I phrase the SELECT statement to compare values if the user gives them, but ignore the fields where no data was input when it's searching? So a search where no values were entered would return every Request Entry instead of an error; no entry.
Thanks!
Selective Updates Based On User
Nov 27, 2007We have a Table that contains a schedule. The schedule has certain pieces of information that are required to be updated by certain members of the
organization, specifically Shift, Start Date, and Line. Each record also has a column for the customer that it is for.
The schedule has a Column, [CSR] which lists the name of the person who is responsible for updating it. Format of that is domainnamejohndoe
What we would like to do is block domainnamejohndoe from being able to update or insert on any of the records that he is not responsible for.
So if he attempts to change the shift for example, it denies the change and possible pops up an error indicating that the change was blocked because he is not the responsible party.
Input in this is through a query which views the table data in MS Access. It cannot be moved to a Form without some serious redesign, so I cannot put the block in there. I assumed that this could be blocked with a Trigger that checks the [CSR] column, matches it to the logged in user through the suser_sname(suser_sid()) and then either allows or denies the update.
So is this a viable idea, or should I explore the move to an input form and make the change there in MS Access via VBA.
At first we started with just an audit trail, but I started to think that the audit trail would be needed only for records that should be allowed to be changed and that we should deny changes to those who are not allowed to make them.
Below is the audit trail trigger, I figure that the change should occur somewhere within that first IF statement, or make the first IF the second, and the first should be the permission check.
At this point I am stuck as to how to block the updates. I tried using Deny but that was not working. Filtering the results by only showing the logged in user their records is not an option as they need visibility to the entire schedule.
This is for SQL 2000 SP4/Windows 2000 SP4
CREATE TRIGGER audit_mschange
ON dbo.T_PP_Table_2
FOR update AS
IF (UPDATE([Start Dt]) OR Update(shift) or Update
(comments)
or Update(status) or Update (line))
BEGIN
INSERT INTO T_MS_RB_AUDIT
(ord_no,line_tank_old,line_tank_new,shift_old,shif t_new,comments_old,comments_new,status_old,status_ new,trx_dt,trx_username,
start_dt_old,start_dt_new)
SELECT ins.[PP Ord No],
del.line,ins.line,
del.shift,ins.shift,
del.comments,ins.comments,
del.status, ins.status,
getdate(),
suser_sname(suser_sid()),

ins.[Start Dt]
FROM inserted ins, deleted del
WHERE ins.[PP Ord No]=del.[PP Ord No] AND
ins.autonumber=del.autonumber AND
(ins.status <> del.status OR ins.[Start Dt] <>
del.[Start Dt] or ins.status <> del.status
or ins.comments <> del.comments or ins.line <>
del.line )
