I am in a SQL Class and I am starting to learn about SQL Parameters in conjunction with using them from a C# program. I have a couple of questions.
1. When I include an Output parameter in the list or paramters that I send, SQL always is returning a message indicating that the parameter was missing, when I know in fact that I am passing the paramter (@RtnMsg)
2. When I remove any reference to "@RtnMsg", which it can not find, and execute the stored procedure it always returns a -1 and never inserts the record.
From previous postings I have read it seems that I cannot create afunction that accepts a variable list of parameters. Seems that SQLServer does not support this.A few questions:Is this true?What is a workaround?Then how does the function COALESCE do it?Cut and pasted from online books:SyntaxCOALESCE ( expression [ ,...n ] )ArgumentsexpressionIs an expression of any type.nIs a placeholder indicating that multiple expressions can bespecified. All expressions must be of the same type or must beimplicitly convertible to the same type.
I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
Code Block RS2000
="with " & "member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " & "set [Rolling Quarters] as '" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value +".lag(4):" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value + "'" & "SELECT " & "{[Measures].[Ex Price]} ON COLUMNS , " & "filter({CrossJoin([Items by Class].[Item Class Description].members, [Rolling Quarters])}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on Rows " & "FROM Sales " & "WHERE (" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.Value & ")"
RS2005

We are using MS Reporting Services to generate Xmls for corporate billing statements. Our DBAs found that MS ReportingServices are querying Oracle Catalogue before executing stored procedures in RDLs to get Oracle parameter information. Is there a way to eliminate the trip to database before executing the stored procedures?
Using gridview to display the data and sql server 2000 I have a column in the database say departtime of datetime datatype that cntains the date and time resp(09/19/2007 9:00 PM). I am separating the date and time parts to display in two different textboxes say txt1(09/19/2007) contaons date and txt2(9:00 PM) contains time by using the convert in sqldatasource. Now i need to update the column in the database and i am using Updatecommand with parameters in aspx lke updatecommand = "Update table set departtime = @departtime" . How can i update my column as datetime by getting the data from 2 texboxes as now i have 2 textboxes displaying data for single column means if user edit the data in txt1 as(10/19/2007) then on click of update i need to populate the column daparttime as (10/19/2007 9:00 PM).Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have one table with categoriestblCategoriescat_id | cat_name-----------------1 | cat 12 | cat 23 | cat 34 | cat 45 | cat 56 | cat 6and one table with projects which relates to tblCategoriestblProjectsproj_id | proj_name | cat_id----------------------------1 | proj 1 | 22 | proj 2 | 23 | proj 3 | 34 | proj 4 | 2How would you create stored procedure for searching some string infiled proj_name but within multiple categoriesfor exampleCREATE PROCEDURE [spSearch](@SEARCH_STRING nvarchar(200),@CAT_ID int)ASBEGINSELECT proj_idFROM tblProjectsWHERE (proj_name LIKE '%' + @SEARCH_STRING + '%') AND (cat_id =@CAT_ID)ENDBut that one works only with one categorie and i need to search for oneor more categories at once, does anyone have a solution? Is theresomething like ellipsis (...) in C++ for MSSQL?
Hi Im writing a program that stores data to SQL server 2005. Program writen on VC++ 2003. Code is very simple and it works ok if server runs and parameters are ok.
But! if i give wrong paramterer for Data Source , it may happen if user configures it and misprints it, or if server goes offline for some reason, program just hangs on m_Connection->Open and never gives exception as it should. Any ideas what wrong? Thanks.
In SQL 2000, working with Maintenance plan wizard, what would be best settings and values should i choose in "Update Data Optimization information" window,
SELECT ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleDate, Published, PublishDate, PublishEndDateFROM UserArticlesWHERE (ArticleDate >= PublishDate) AND (ArticleDate <= PublishEndDate) When I use the above on a GridView I get nothing. Using SQL manager it works great. I don't know how to pass the value of the ArticleDate field as a default parameter or I think that's what I don't know how to do. I am trying to create a app that I can set the dates an article will appear on a page and then go away depending on the date. Thanks for any help!
Disaster Recovery Options based on the following criteria.
--Currently running SQL 2012 standard edition --We have 18000 databases (same schema across databases)- majority of databases are less than 2gb-- across 64 instances approximately --Recovery needs to happen within 1 hour (Not sure that this is realistic -- We are building a new data center and building dr from the ground up.
What I have looked into is:
1. Transactional Replication: Too Much Data Not viable 2. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Need enterprise) Again too many databases and would have to upgrade all instances 3. Log Shipping is a viable option and the only one I can come up with that would work right now. Might be a management nightmare but with this many databases probably all options with be a nightmare.
More often than not, I typically don't touch DTC on clusters anymore; however on a project where the vendor states that it's required. So a couple things here.
1) Do you really need DTC per instance or one for all? 2) Should DTC be in its own resource group or within the instance's group? 2a) If in it's own resource group, how do you tie an instance to an outside resource group? tmMappingSet right?
Hello,I am trying to construct a query across 5 tables but primarily 3tables. Plan, Provider, ProviderLocation are the three primary tablesthe other tables are lookup tables for values the other tables.PlanID is the primary in Plan andPlanProviderProviderLocationLookups---------------------------------------------PlanIDProviderIDProviderIDLookupTypePlanNamePlanIDProviderStatusLookupKeyRegionIDLastName...LookupValue....FirstName...Given a PlanID I want all the Providers with a ProviderStatus = 0I can get the query to work just fine if there are records but what Iwant is if there are no records then I at least want one record withthe Plan information. Here is a sample of the Query:SELECT pln.PlanName, pln.PlanID, l3.LookupValue as Region,p.ProviderID, p.SSNEIN, pl.DisplayLocationOnPCP,pl.NoDisplayDate, pl.ProviderStatus, pl.InvalidDate,l1.LookupValue as ReasonMain, l2.LookupValue as ReasonSub,pl.InvalidDataFROM Plans plnINNER JOIN Lookups l3 ON l3.LookupType = 'REGN'AND pln.RegionID = l3.Lookupkeyleft outer JOIN Provider p ON pln.PlanID = p.PlanIDleft outer JOIN ProviderLocation pl ON p.ProviderID = pl.ProviderIDleft outer JOIN Lookups l1 ON l1.LookupType = 'PLRM'AND pl.ReasonMain = l1.LookupKeyleft outer JOIN Lookups l2 ON l2.LookupType = 'PLX1'AND pl.ReasonSub = l2.LookupkeyWHERE pln.PlanID = '123456789' AND pl.ProviderStatus = 0ORDER BY p.PlanID, p.ProviderID, pl.SiteLocationNumI know the problew the ProviderStatus on the Where clause is keepingany records from being returned but I'm not good enough at this toanother select.Can anybody give me some suggestions?ThanksDavid
I am new to Reporting Services and hope that what I am looking to do is within capabilities :-)
I have many identical schema databases residing on a number of data servers. These support individual clients accessing them via a web interface. What I need to be able to do is run reports across all of the databases. So the layout is:
Dataserver A
Database A1
Database A2
Database A3
Dataserver B
Database B1
Database B2
Dataserver C
Database C1
Database C2
Database C3
I would like to run a report that pulls table data from A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3
Now the actual number of servers is 7 and the number of databases is close to 1000. All servers are running SQL2005.
Is this something that Reporting Services is able to handle or do I need to look at some other solution?
Greetings,We are trying to set up a set of "Leading Practices" for ourdevelopers, as well as ourselves, and hope some gentle reader canrecommend some documentation in favor of what appears to be the rightposition to take.We do not allow third party applications to run on our SQL Servers. Wewant to include DTS Packages under the definition of third partyapplications, insisting instead that the developers save theirpackages as COM Formatted files into their source code control systemsand run them from their app servers. The devlopers would like to hearthis from someone besides ourselves.While strong recomendations to remove guest access to MSDB altogetherabound, I have been unable to find a straight forward discussion ofthe advantages of structured file storage and app server off load ofDTS packages.Can anyone suggest any articles, white papers, rants, etc attemptingto formulate a solution to the benefits of taking msdb away fromguest, with the advantages of running DTS from an App server orworkstation platform, with the packages protected in source codecontrol?Thank youJohn Pollinsjpollins @ eqt . com
I'm banging my head against the wall. It's probably pretty simple so here goes...
I have a form that supposed to add records to a table on the database. I'm pretty sure I have the dataAdapter and Dataset set right but when I add a record, it complains that the primary key can’t be null. I’ve tried different things, including removing those fields and variables from the stored Proc, changing the Identity Properties of the Table, changing the AutoIncrement settings on the Dataset for that field, but all give me different errors. Nothing actually makes it work. This database has many records in it and the Primary key is a decimal field that starts at 5, then next was 10, then 28, then it started getting consecutive after 110. (111, 112, 113, etc.) (I'm porting over an old database to a new web site, so I'm somewhat contrained by the database.)
I guess my question is for adding records in to a database that has a primary unique key constraint. Certainly this is a pretty common thing. Obviously I do not want users to enter that in themselves, I thought it should simply autocreate/autonumber. So what is the best procedure and gotcha’s I need to watch out for?
if i have the following code, how do i know if the transaction was actually successful, so basically where in this code can i write TRANSACTION SUCCESFUL?
try { //Open up the connection conn.Open(); //Setup the Transaction trans = conn.BeginTransaction();
//First query in transaction pre_query = "Delete from Menu where spec_name=" + "'" + spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString() + "'" ;
//Second query in transaction query = "INSERT into Menu VALUES ('" + Calendar1.SelectedDate +"','" + spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString() +"','" + spec_desc_array[i].Text.ToString() +"','" +spec_price_array[i].Text.ToString() +"',1)"; SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(pre_query,conn); //Setup the command to handle transaction comm.Transaction = trans; //Execute first query comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); //Add in second query comm.CommandText = query; //Execute second query comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); trans.Commit(); } catch(SqlException ex) { com_label.Text = "Submission Not complete, did you forget the date or something else?"; //Undo all queries trans.Rollback(); } finally { conn.Close(); }
This may not be the right place for this post...but my head is hurting and I can't think right now.
I have a SQL table of users. Each record has a required 'Birthdate' field. I'd like to order this by the days left till the give birthday, keeping in mind that the year may be 1980 or their birthday might have been 2 weeks ago.
I have written 2 custom connection mgr€™s. One connects the data from an oracle source One connects so I can put the data on a sql server. These both work well and it makes it a lot easier across development, test, production.
But now I would like a good way to do this
I have 10 tables to copy from oracle. The only difference is just the name of the table.
If I have a 64 bit version of SQL 2005 installed, will "select @@version" indicate it is a 64 bit version? If not, how do I determine such? Thanks in advance.
I have a column in my report that i want to show percentage change from the previous year to this year. So i enter all kinds of different type of formats for the formula, and keep getting the wrong answers or error messeges. Here's what i have tried recently:
hi, I have this simple sql query - it should be pretty obvious what I'm trying to achieve but this syntax isn't accepted on SQL 2005, any suggestions? SELECT Name FROM Users WHERE UsersID IN (EXEC dbo.ReturnDataByModule 'Groups',1200)
Ok - I am still a bit weak on SQL. My understanding of FK relationships in a database are to reinforce the data integrity - Correct? For example, does it make sure that the id given for SiteID does indeed exists. Can it link tables like JOIN in select statements? If not, is there any gains by creating them, such as performance?
scenario I have 2 tables one is called "Site" which contains columns ID, Address1, Address2,City,StateID,ZipCode and the second table is called "State" which contains columns ID,Name,Abbreviation. I am looking to make a view that contains all the sites with the state inner joined on stateid to make my all my other queries easier. That is so I can just select from the view without having to do the inner join on the state. My question is when a new record is added to table Site do I have "recreate"/update the view?
