I want to develop a monthly salary report for our employees. The salary is calculated on daily basis for individiaul employees. Thus the report is supposed to display Employee Name, ID etc + 31 columns (representing maximum days in a month). The report will display the employee basic information along with their salary calculation for each day. So its like 35 columns report. I already have used a cursor in my stored procedure with SQL Server 2005 to get this report (displayed in .NET Page) but the performance is more than worst and takes even 3-4 minutes to compile (which ofcourse is unacceptable). There are around 300 employees and they belong to different departments. When we select a given department, all the respective employees report has to be displayed. If i select All Departments, then the entire 300 employees report has to be displayed. I dont want to cache the data as it will have a big performance issue for the server.
I want some good suggestion on how to develop a monthly report in SQL Server 2005 which can display the data with optimized performance. Kindly help of any guru will be highly appreciated.
I have a few tables which store classinfo, testsinfo, scoresinfo respectively. For a given classID/TestID/CourseID i need to be able get the top 5/10/15 etc, avg, max, min of scores for reporting purposes. I am wondering if i should maintain a seperate table which would be populated by a job daily and which would maintain the topper IDs rather than having a Stored proc return them dynamically when needed. I am looking for some suggestions. Please let me know.
Hi, I need an advice from some SQL Guru. I have a Cursor (SQL Server 2005) which calculates the monthly employee wages. The outer query selects all the employees and the inner query computes the monthly salary day by day in a loop. For each day in a month, i insert a record in a temporary table. So for 2 employees, there can be 2 x 31 records (31 are the maximum days in a month). Later i rotate the temporary table to convert the 31 rows for each employee into one record so at the end there are only 2 employee records but with 31 columns. The problem is that the rotation is taking a huge performance hit and almost takes 5 minutes to convert rows to columns. I have even tried the PIVOT statement but that too almost takes the same time. Could anyone suggest me how can i nail down a performance efficient query for a monthly report. As far as i know, even on Mainframes, monthly/annual reports takes a long time to compile. So if any GURU has a better idea, i would really appreciate it. I am only asking about how would any Guru/Expert handle monthly/annual reports with huge amount of data in the tables efficiently. Regards.........
Question 1 I want to check which is the best easy to use cost saving tool in sql server which can do a check the performance of a query and rewrite the query with best performance Question 2 Which is the best tool for load testing tool in sql server, which is easy to understand and use. Question 3 Which tool monitors the changes in the server including the dba's activities and send report to the audit team. Qustion 4 Which tool can send notification about the job's failed , backup task failed etc. Question 5 Which tool can suggest the correct index for all the tables
Please recommend me a tool for all this which is easy to use + cost saving and their licencing details with their pricing.
I have two webservers and another server where the database resides.. and in my webservers i have reporting serverices set up.. in my Report server configuration manager for Webserver 1, in the database setup tab i am specifying the remote the database server which i want to connect and i am providing the correct username and passwords to connect to the remote databse and when i specify the remote database username and password i can see all the databases listed in that server. So in server name i have specified the name of the sql server.. and in the Database name i have specified ReportServer and given credentails type as sql server credentials and given the correct username and password..
But when i give apply i am getting an warning or error saying that The database version (c.0.8.54) does not match the Report service installation. This version cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database.
and in internet explorer if i give http:\localhost eports I get an error saying The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue update the version of the report server database and verify access rights.
I just want to display all the data of a Single table into a Data Grid, I know that we can drag and drop the table on to a form and datagrid is generated, but here I want to retrive those values through my code, how should i do that
I am getting following errors while running the program Error 1) Error No. 28037, MS SQL Server 2005 Evrywhere Edition Error: A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information see HRESULT Error 2) Error No. 0, SQL Server 2005 Evrywhere Edition ADO.Net Data Provider Error: The specified table does not exist [ JobLists ].
Can anybody please tell me, where I went wrong ??? In this code anywhere else????
Note: While adding a Data Source of SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition, I have added that .sdf file into my project, thats why I have written the Data Source as : .DbFile.sdf
@"Data Source = .DbDotNetCF.sdf";
The code is as follows:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
namespace DeviceApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { string filename = @".DbDotNetCF.sdf";

I have created a merge replication correctlly( I suppose, there were no errros) Please help
1) - I need to get the RDL (the RDL format merged with the data, like a rendered report in RDL format) - to pass back to the client Report Viewer. Is there a way to do that? I do not see that as an optional output types.
2) - I need to export to a specific file/path from the client side Reportviewer.. Is this possible? Is there a lower level API for this?
Hi,I have 2 stored procedure 1st insert the data in parent tables and return the Id. and second insert child table data using that parent table id as paramenter. I have foreign key relationship between these two tables also.my data layer methods somewhat looks likepublic void Save(order value){using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { int orderId = SaveOrderMaster(value); value.OrderId = orderid; int childId = SaveOrderDetails(value); //complete the transaction transactionScope.Complete(); }}here 1. SaveOrderMaster() calls an stored procedure InserOrderData which insert a new record in order table and return the orderId which is identity column in Order table.2. SaveOrderDetails() call another sotored procedure which insert order details in to table "orderdetail" using the foreign key "orderid".My Problem:Some time the above method works correctly but when i call it repeatledly (in a loop) with data, some time it gives me foreign key error which state that orderid is not existsin table Order. This will happen only randomly. I am not able to figureout the reason. does some one face the same problem. if yes, what could be the reason and/or solution.
When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where TEXT = 'This is the text' or I state TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable: ...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001) if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
I get the following error when I try to access the database from my web application Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance.

Using SQL Server 2000 std. edition, I was bitten by the bug described in KBs 818671 and 289149. Query optimizer using Hash Match Team operators would sometimes fail. I added -T8679 at SQL Server startup.
Now that I'm upgrading to SQL Server 2005, is this trace flag still required?
I see that "this was fixed in SQL 2000, SP1." However, I would like a more precise confirmation that this flag is no longer needed in SQL 2005. Sometimes, no news is not necessarily good news.
The error is intermittent, and at least partially dependent on data conditions not available to me for exhaustive regression testing (or else of course I would do that).
Someone please help me, Im trying to set up SQLServer on my website(IIS v4.0) and I cant seem to get any web apps that use SQL to intall correctly, I get errors like, SQL does not recieve remote connections by default, or just 'Server Not Found'.
This is what I need to know
- How to set SQL to accept incomming remote connections
- Where to find the Name of the SQL instance
- Is it a good idea to have a password on the db, and how do I add one
- A walkthrough on how to set up SQL Express 2005(what to do after the istall is complete)
As you can see Im very new to SQL. So any information you could give to help would be greatly appreciated.
I have noticed that the area of writing stored procedures for muti-user databases is a very specialised field and requires knowledge that's much more than the locking topics covered in 'online books' . I am sure there are some standard tips and tricks that are used in mutil-user databases for writing to tables. Most books have a chapter or two on locking, but I think this topic should be dealt with separately in a dedicated book to locking with extensive examples on locking. Does anyone know of such a dedicated book out there?
I have created a linked report in which I have two screen: First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar). <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I have a few Log Shipped DBs that are working great.
Currently they are set to fire off every 15 minutes 24/7.
My question is this ... I need to get FULL backups of the source DBs in order to restore them on certain Dev boxes.
If I were to execute the full backup on one of these Log Shipped DBs ... how would it affect the log shipping process?
Is there a special method to accomplish this?
As a side note, what would be some concerns/issues if in being able to create the FULL backups and not interupt log shipping, I were to create the backup using a 3rd party tool like Quest LiteSpeed?
I sure wish we were on Enterprise, then I could create a mirror and then snapshot off it to create my backups BUT ... that is not the case as we stand today.
I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 SP1 but when I go to the "Microsoft Update" site it is still shown as required. I have tried going back to an old image of the PC and installing SQL Server 2005 and SP1 again but still the "Microsoft Update" page is not picking up the fact that SP1 has installed successfully. Anyone had the same problem or know of a fix?
I am getting timeout or connection closed error on report server when i try to create snapshot for a large report on my development machine.Snapshot are getting created for small reports.

and
IIS time out to some large value.
But everytime it shows timeout or connection closed forcibly.

When dealing with an ASP.NET website that has its own *.mdf database files, does SQL Server 2005 Express or the like have to be installed on the web server for the app to work with the database or will the .NET Framework 2.0 work with it similar to the way we worked with Access *.mdb files previously? Thanks, Doug

Here is my problem. I have a SSRS report that uses a SSAS cube for as it's datasource. I have a drop down parameter box where the user can select a year (2005,2006,2007,etc..) They click the View Report button and the report is generated. On one of the textboxes properties, on the navigation tab I have Jump to Report activated. I select the parameter from the receiving reports with the value of the dropdown box.
What I'm trying to do and can't, is to jump to that report passing the contents of the dropdown box. The receiving report is a SSRS report with a datasource being the SSAS. How do I make the receiving report open based on the parameter that was sent ??
I want to have a page break between the first set and the second set. The last subreport of the first set, Subreport6A, has a pagebreak at end = true, so it should break. The problem is that when I export to Excel I am getting one sheet for the 12 subreports.
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.

The customer's goal is to via ReportBuilder to select fields from multiple many-to-many relationships. They are able to see the fields that exists within the various many-to-many relationships but IS ONLY able to select fields from ONE many-to-many relationship. Example using AdventureWorks:
So the goal in the ReportBuilder is to be able select fields from Contact/Vendor/Store/ and CreditCard. PROBLEM is that the ReportBuilder ONLY allows user to select fields from Contact/Vendor OR Contact/Store OR Contact/CreditCard (exclusively)
The only workaround I've found is to reverse the relationships in the DataSourceView to the following

In Report Design view
In "Data" tab, I can see records for column 'sRCName' returned from the stored procedure(usp_GetRouteCodeData) after clicking '!' icon. When I moved to "Preview" tab, I am getting below error message. "The value expression for the textbox €˜sRCName€™ refers to the field €˜sRCName€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope."
Observation : there is no value returned from the dataset on 'Fields' panel. The SP is accessing a table called tblRCM. If I go to the Data--> Dataset --> Query, change the "Command Type" from 'Stored Procedure' to 'Text' and entered select * from tblRCM at Query string area, the report is running fine.
Issue: This issue only happens at my laptop, my team member can create the same report using the same stored procedure without any error. The database is sitting on a server.
In the troubleshooting process, I tried to create a simple report by calling a stored procedure(CustOrderHist) from NorthWind DB in my local SQL server, I am able to see the data/value in 'Fields' panel and sucessfully view the data in 'Preview' tab. Looks like the issue only happen on my machine, for a report that using stored procedure to access a DB sitting on a server.
I hope to hear from anyone who have encountered the similiar issue before, or, have any clue to resolve the issue.
In VS2008 SSRS, when creating a dataset, only the name of the stored procedure was required. When populating the dataset, VS prompted for the parameters, whether or not there were any. In VS2010, the name of the stored procedure is not enough if there are parameters.When creating a dataset in Visual Studio 2010 for databases and stored procedures in SQL 2012, I must provide (what should be) run-time parameters to obtain a field list and then to preview the report.Â
So the embedded dataset looks like this (wherein the only parameter is a password): exec dbo.spu_procedure1 @PW='999'.This works well and as expected during report design and development. But 999 must be provided at run-time by the requester, and not in the dataset definition. If I remove the parameter in the dataset's exec string before deploying the report, the field list is cleared and the report is unusable. So I cannot overcome what seems a contradiction: necessary to obtain a field list, but "yet-to-be-provided" when the user selects the report.
By keeping @PW='999' in the dataset specification, the user cannot override the parameter and automatically has a password to view the report. Â

Hi guys, I have just set up a database in SQL 2005 Express Edition. However, I have a problem accessing it with the application program created in VB 2005 EE. Before using SQL 2005, the application worked perfectly in SQL 2000. Here is my connection string used in SQL 2000:
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=(local); Database='Inventory List'; Integrated Security=yes")
Is this valid in SQL 2005 Express Edition? Or should I change the connection string instead? Thank you very much.
