Report Builder - Read Data From SQL Server With Ntext Data Type
Apr 16, 2008
Hi all,
I have a column in SQL server which is of type ntext. Selecting the specific column to view it in report builder, an error message appears with the following description:
- Cannot run this report. The grouping expression 'nameofcolumn' returns the datatype binary. The Grouping Expression cannot return binary data.
Report Builder recognises this as if it was an image...
Hi! ALL I 'm writing an ASP.NET Application(1.1) , but i 've problem. I used ntext data type to store my data as follows "Ä?ể sá» dụng các dịch vụ của VUNGOIMORA.COM bạn phải Ä‘á»?c kỹ các thông tin quy định và phải tuân thủ các Ä‘iá»?u quy định sau:
Have a table storing nText data tied into a Cold Fusion front end. The Cold Fusion returns the values fine, but when querying in Query analyzer the messages are being truncated. In Enterprize Manager I get a <Long Text> message.
I ran OBJECTPROPERTY and found that TableTextInRowLimit was set to 0, but even after i set it to 1 on our test system with a value of 2000, it still truncated.
Also, the field is set to ntext with a length of 16. I havent worked much with nText, anyone with advise would be much appricated.
Hello, When I am using DISTINCT in the SELECT clause for a table having a column of datatype "ntext" in SQL 2000 as well SQL 2005, it fails giving the error as "ntext data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT". This is coz "The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT."
But I am able to insert into a temporary table having a column whose datatype is nvarchar) using this SELECT clause in SQL 2000. Please advice me how this happens. If I am not worng, implicit conversion has happened. But this insert fails raising the same error in SQL 2005. Please help me to find the difference thanks in advance!
Hello Guys,Have been getting this error( Implicit conversion from data type ntext to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. ) when running on the live environment but it was fine when run locally. If anyone has similar problem please let me know the fix you have done. Thank you.
I want to store my MS-Word documents and Excel sheets in the database. So, i have used the image datatype. Iam not able to download the documents from the database. i have used getBytes() method. But when i try to download excel sheet document, i get a error message saying, "File error: data may have been lost". Can i get some help. can u say how can i put word and excel docs in the database and retrieve it. regards, sathish
I'm contemplating a sql server archive strategy that rolls really old data off any sort of dbms and onto low cost media like dvds in a non relational archive format. I dont want to ever worry about these archives spanning different versions of sql when i go to retrieve a range of data that happens to span sql versions (eg one disc was sourced from 2005 another by 2008 but my report needs a union of both).
So I'm thinking about neutral/efficient formats for these archives and a live homegrown catalog that can determine exactly what disc(s) need to be mounted based on passed from and to date parameters...all so that the data that might span discs (and versions and maybe even schemas) can be merged and loaded into my sql version d'jour's "throw away" archive database for a one time report or other unplanned activity.
I remember raw data types being very convenient as an ETL format for our customers who have ssis, but wouldn't want our sqlexpress customers to be left without the archiving capability. Do the "things" that read and write raw data files really originate in some special T-SQL command that all sql editions can use, or is it strictly an ssis thing?
I have an encrypted SQL Server 2005 database. Data is encrypted and decrypted using the encryptbykey and decryptbykey statements. I would like to allow the end user to be able to build adhoc reports using the Report Builder. I can't figure out how to decrypt the fields as they are dragged onto the report layout. Does anyone have any insight on how to accomplish this, or is it even possible?
I have built a data model in visual studio that I am using with report builder in reporting services. The data model is using data from a view in SQL Server 2005. I am trying to apply a filter to the data model to restrict the data available in report builder. I know that I could change the code for the view and filter that data that way, but I would rather creates two models each one producing differnt sets of filtered data. I have tried adding a filter to the data model, but it does not seem to work. Do anyone have any suggestions?
I have created security roles that restrict access to a certain Dimension and a member therein.
The security works fine when the users finened in it runs a report: The data is accordingley ristricted.
The problem is when those same users run Report Builder and create a report, those members are no longer restricted and they have acces to absoluteley all data from the cubes.
Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles?
Any help is much appreciated...

EDIT: I have found that it uses the wrong user when opening report builder. For some reason it uses my windows account instead of the one I used to log onto report manager. This is way the security isnt working
I am trying to develop a data model that will filter data based on the user logged in. SUSER_SNAME() I have a list of User Id's in a look up table, a where clause in a view that filters the data based on who is logged in. This works fine and the data even seems to be filtered when I explore the data in the Data Source View. How ever when I publish the data model to the reporting services site and use report builder the user logged in is no longer recognized. All I am really trying to do is set up report builder so that users can generate reports and only have access to thier data via a customer number. I just can't allow users to see other users data and I don't want to set up a different datasource view for each user. Does any one have any experience with this?
In Report Builder 1.0 you could drag a column to a filter and see the data before select the values for the filter.I can't find a way to do that in report builder 3.0. is it possible to see the data of a column in Report builder or SSRS?
Report Builder 3.0 . I have two datasets and I am using LookupSet to return data (a list of dates) but what I am after is the LAST date in the set. I have tried to use Last but I keep getting an error.Â
I even tried doing a Last on the above statement with a Join thrown in, but that just gets me errors as well. I tried to Code in a function to go through the dataset and return the last piece of data, but again...error.Â
Function LastLookup(ByVal items As Object()) As Date If items Is Nothing Then Return Nothing End If Dim suma As Date = New Date() For Each item As Object In items suma = CDate(item) Next
I have a report designed in RB3 that uses a data source from a SQL database that is on the report server. I want to add data to the report from an access database an a network drive.
I can add the second data source and create a data set to add data to the report. The dataset query returns data from the Access database but when I run the report I get the following error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Feasibility'. (rsError OpeningConnection)
Also when I test the connection to the Access data base I get error ERROR (IM002) (Microsoft)(ODBC Driver Manger) Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I noticed that Report Builder is connecting to the report server. If I disconnect from the report server I can a can connect to the Access data base but not the SQL database.
How can I get the report to run against both data sources?
Currently, I want to get images of an item in my report for illustration purpose.
Below is my query to get image for item 'GL-10000' in the database. However, I would like to pass a parameter value, '@sItem', from my report so that it would get all related pics of items. Â
SQL Query:
Select top 1 item_picture_mst.picture from item_picture_mst where item_picture_mst.item in (select item_all.item from item_all where item_all.item = 'GL-10000') ORDER BY item_picture_mst.picture DESC;
I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..
Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).
___________________________________ | ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION Â | VALUE | ___________________________________ | 1 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 2 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 3 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 4 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 5 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 6 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 7 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 8 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 9 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________
The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.
select  a.PRODUCT_INDEX , a.LOCATION1(VALUE) , b.LOCATION2(VALUE) , c.LOCATION3(VALUE)  fromÂ
[Code] .....
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.
select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:
__________________________________________________ | JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | __________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________
Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
I have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?
i have created asp.net page, one feild of this page text area. when i insert some text through this page in "text feild" of SQL server on few words of this feild cut and inserted to text feild of SQL server but all text that i have written in text area feild.
can u please help me how to handle so that i can all text in text feild of SQL server data type text/next.
My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.
I brief you about my system, I used List manager system to store the messages and distribute to all members. Right now,by design the Lyris system keep the message in the text field which mean it 's not support multilanguage directly because of unicode field. We needs to create new Db which has the data structure as same as Lyris but just one difference is keep the message in unicode format (ntext) which we need the sql script to automatically update the new record get from Lyris to new DB.
If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.
Hello, I have worked with SQL Server 2000 but now we have a requirement where I need to write values from an asp.net form into an XML type in SQL Server 2005.I have never used XML as a type in SQL Server 2005. How do we write xml into xml type. For example the structure of XML is something like:<application><applicationID = "value"></applicationID><customerName="value></customerName></application>I have to write this kind of XML into the XML type and later retrieve these XML values and populate the form again.Kindly suggest. Thanks a lot.
I am trying to create a report with a sub report in Sql Server 2012 using Report Builder Version 3. Â I can run the subreport without any problems. Â I read where using a shared connection can cause this error so both the main report and the subreport use a connection that is embedded in my report. Â
For testing, I created the subreport without a parameter and added it to the main report. Â When I ran it that way, the report worked and sub report displayed the data. Â So I know it can read from the database.It seems to only give me this error when I am trying to tie the two reports together using a parameter. Â
