Reporting Services - Use Of Temp Tables

Nov 12, 2006

Hello all,

I need to create a report based on a stored procedure. This stored procedure contains temp tables. At the time of creating the report, I receive a message mentioning - There is an error in the query. Invalid object name '<temp table name'>

Doesn't Reporting Services support temp tables?

Thanks all,
Saurav

Working Around Temp Tables In Reporting Services.

Jun 15, 2006

I have been working for days to translate a report out of an old system and in SQL reporting services.

Getting the basic code down to get the required data was easy, however getting it to work in reporting services has turned into a nightmare.

Why, because I have been told that SQL reporting services does not allow temporary tables...HUH!

Ok, so how am I supposed to take three data queries and munge them together into a report.

Here is the query that does work, can anyone give me an idea of how to make this work given the limitations I have run up against.

I have already thought of using a store procedure, but we have ruled that out since would likely have to do it via linked servers, which would be expensive. We thought of having it just create and then link real tables and then delete them...not sure thats going to work, and again probably talking linked servers to get that to work.

Code:
select distinct al3.asg_location into ##tmp1
from dbo.probsummarym2 AL3
inner join dbo.probsummarym1 AL1 on AL3.number=AL1.number
where AL1.assignment='international client services'
AND AL1.status='Closed'
AND AL1.close_time BETWEEN {ts '2006-05-28 00:00:00.000'} AND {ts '2006-06-04 00:00:00.000'}
and al3.asg_location is not null




SELECT AL3.asg_location as asg_location, Count (AL3.resolve_met) as met_sla into ##tmp2
FROM dbo.probsummarym1 AL1, dbo.probsummarym2 AL3
WHERE (AL3.number=AL1.number)
AND (AL1.severity_code<>'Scheduled'
AND AL1.status='Closed'
AND AL1.close_time BETWEEN {ts '2006-05-28 00:00:00.000'} AND {ts '2006-06-04 00:00:00.000'}
AND AL3.resolve_met='t'
AND AL1.assignment='international client services'

)
GROUP BY AL3.asg_location

SELECT AL3.asg_location as asg_location, Count (AL1.status) as sch_closed into ##tmp3
FROM dbo.probsummarym1 AL1, dbo.probsummarym2 AL3
WHERE (AL3.number=AL1.number)
AND (AL1.assignment='international client services'
AND AL1.severity_code='Scheduled'
AND AL1.status='Closed'
AND AL1.close_time BETWEEN {ts '2006-05-28 00:00:00.000'} AND {ts '2006-06-04 00:00:00.000'}

)
GROUP BY AL3.asg_location

SELECT AL3.asg_location as asg_location, Count (AL1.status) as unsch_closed into ##tmp4
FROM dbo.probsummarym1 AL1, dbo.probsummarym2 AL3
WHERE (AL3.number=AL1.number)
AND (AL1.assignment='international client services'
AND AL1.severity_code<>'Scheduled'
AND AL1.status='Closed'
AND AL1.close_time BETWEEN {ts '2006-05-28 00:00:00.000'} AND {ts '2006-06-04 00:00:00.000'}

)
GROUP BY AL3.asg_location



select ##tmp1.asg_location, ##TMP3.sch_closed, ##tmp2.met_sla, ##tmp4.unsch_closed
from ##tmp1 left outer join ##tmp2 on ##tmp1.asg_location = ##tmp2.asg_location
left outer join ##tmp3 on ##tmp1.asg_location = ##tmp3.asg_location
left outer join ##tmp4 on ##tmp1.asg_location = ##tmp4.asg_location
group by ##tmp1.asg_location, ##TMP3.sch_closed, ##tmp2.met_sla, ##tmp4.unsch_closed
order by ##tmp1.asg_location

drop table ##tmp1, ##tmp2, ##tmp3, ##tmp4

SQL2005 Reporting Service - Using Temp Tables?

Oct 31, 2007

Hello everyeone,

I'm very new to this reporting services and am trying to see whether this service can be utilized in our company's sales system.

I've searched quite a few documents about Reporting Service tutorials and it only shows how to make very basic reports, using simple query and one dataset.

Is there any document or manual that shows how to generate a report using a stored procedure or complex queries with temp tables.

If above is not possible, ca I join multiple datasets then?

Please help~...

Thank you in advance!!

Integration Services :: Get Data From Source By Executing Set Of Queries That Have Temp Tables

Jul 29, 2015

I need to grab data from teradata(using odbc connection).. i have no issues if its just bunch of joins and wheres conditions.. but now i have a challenge. simple scenario, i have to create volatile table, dump data into this and then grab data from this volatile table. (Don't want to modify the query in such a way i don't have to use this volatile table.. its a pretty big query and i have no choice but create bunch of volatile tables, above scenarios is just mentioned on simple 1 volatile table ).

So i created a proc and trying to pass this string into teradata, not sure if it works.. what options i have.. (I dont have a leisure to create proc in terdata and get it executed when ever i want and then grab data from the table. )

A Curious Error Message, Local Temp Vs. Global Temp Tables?!?!?

Nov 17, 2004

Hi all,

Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.

However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.

Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl

SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl

The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.

Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?

Temp Tables Vs Temp Variables

Jul 20, 2005

I have an application that I am working on that uses some small temptables. I am considering moving them to Table Variables - Would thisbe a performance enhancement?Some background information: The system I am working on has numeroustables but for this exercise there are only three that really matter.Claim, Transaction and Parties.A Claim can have 0 or more transactions.A Claim can have 1 or more parties.A Transaction can have 1 or more parties.A party can have 1 or more claim.A party can have 1 or more transactions. Parties are really many tomany back to Claim and transaction tables.I have three stored procsinsertClaiminsertTransactioninsertPartiesFrom an xml point of view the data looks like this<claim><parties><info />insertClaim takes 3 sets of paramters - All the claim levelinformation (as individual parameters), All the parties on a claim (asone xml parameter), All the transactions on a claim(As one xmlparameter with Parties as part of the xml)insertClaim calls insertParties and passes in the parties xml -insertParties returns a recordset of the newly inserted records.insertClaim then uses that table to join the claim to the parties. Itthen calls insertTransaction and passes the transaction xml into thatsproc.insertTransaciton then inserts the transactions in the xml, and alsocalls insertParties, passing in the XML snippet

Reporting Services :: 2 Dataset Tables In One Matrix?

Dec 2, 2015

I am having difficulties with what seems to be a common issue. I want to produce a trial balance. The first row of the tablix would include fields: AccountNo, Description and startingbalance from a dataset called tb. Below that, I would like to draw from a dataset called Entries with multiple rows having fields: AccountNo, Desc1, Desc2, Debit, Credit and Balance.     Balance in the Entries table is already computed from the starting balance and the entries above.  There are many AccountNo's with corresponding entries.  

How do I do this?

Reporting Services :: Showing Tables Based On A Parameter Value

Nov 4, 2015

I am trying to get 3 report parameters working to show 3 different tables.

table 1 = Area 1 data
table 2 = Regional Area 1 
table 3 = Stores in Regional Area 1

Currently I am working on the biggest one. E.g. if all 3 parameters have information in them, then you use table 3. I have written out the coding as the following

=iif(isnothing(Parameters!Area.Value),True, False ) and
iif(isnothing(Parameters!Regional.Value),True, False ) and
iif(isnothing(Parameters!store.Value),True,False)

But it errors stating end of statement expected.  What I have missed or not done here?

SQL Reporting Services 2005: Filtering Tables By Date And Time

Feb 19, 2008

I am trying to generate a report that is basically a class list. It lists classes for a specific semester and lists them by day of the week and then by time.

If I am pulling back a dataset of all classes, how do I filter my report so as to show each set of classes appropriately (by day and by time within the day)? I tried using the Filter function on the table level, but I guess I don't get it.

My table would need to look like this:



MONDAY:



8:30 - 9:30
9:30- 11:30
11:30-1:30

classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof

classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof


TUESDAY:




8:30 - 9:30
9:30- 11:30
11:30-1:30

classnum/prof
classnum/prof
classnum/prof

classnum/prof

Reporting Services :: Export SSRS Report With Multiple Tables To CSV

May 11, 2015

I have a report with 2 tablixes, both the tablixes can be hidden based on the parameter selection. The 1st tablix has a drill through action on one of the columns, that calls the 2nd tablix in the SAME report. Once you click on the drill through, the 1st tablix is no longer visible, only the 2nd one is.

The report is working fine, until you export it to CSV file. Once you are on the 2nd tablix (1st one is NOT visible at this time in the report), and then when you export it to CSV, BOTH, the 1st tablix as well as 2nd tablix are visible in the CSV file. Why does the 1st tablix come up in CSV IF you just exported 2nd tablix to CSV?

Is there a workaround to NOT show the parent/1st tablix at all if the 2nd tablix is exported? Excel works fine!I know sub-reports instead of multiple tablixes might solve this issue.

Reporting Services :: SSRS 2008 R2 / Grouping Multiple Tables (tablix) With Different Datasets

Mar 27, 2012

We have a report that was created in SSRS 2008 R2 that has 3 tables with different datasets that share a common ID that I want to use to group them.

If we run the report passing only a single value for the grouped parameter then the report works perfectly.  What we need is for this report to allow multiple values to be selected for this parameter and for the report to run as if the user had selected each value one at a time and run the report with page breaks in between.  Currently, when we pass multiple selected values for the grouping parameter the report displays all values for table 1, then all values for table 2, then all values for table three as below:

Table 1:

Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...
....

Table 3:

Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...

But we want it to render like this:

Table 1:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
Table 2:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
Table 3:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...

[code]....

The page breaks are needed so that when the report is exported to excel each individual report (by group param) will be on its own uniquely named tab.The report must export cleanly to excel and currently does for the single value passed.

Hello,

I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?

Any help is appreciated

The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.

E.g. table 1 and table 2  are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .

Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows  and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?

Compatibility Of SQL Express Reporting Services With SQL 2000 Reporting Services

Dec 6, 2006

I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.

One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:

Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?

Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

DTS - SP And Temp Tables

##Temp Tables

Jun 16, 2004

I have a stored proc that creates a temporary table, then calls several other stored procs to insert data.


CREATE PROCEDURE usp_CreateTakeoff
@iEstimate int,
AS

CREATE TABLE ##Temp_Takeoff
(
Field1 ......
Field2 ......
)

-- Add Structural data
usp_AddStructural @iEstimateID, 1, 'Structural'
usp_AddForming @iEstimateID, 2, 'Forming'
...
...
...
GO


Now, a couple of problems, after the table is created and populated, I cannot find it in my list of tables, even after "refreshing".

I checked to ensure that it exists using the query analyzer and it does so I know the table is being created.

Also, I cannot see the table using crystal reports, connecting etc...... Can I not access a temporary table from 3rd party applications? I have crystal reports 7.0 professional.

Any ideas?

Temp Tables And UDF's

Dec 14, 2004

Hey,

I am in the process of modifying some stored procedures that currently do not use temp tables. For this modification I am required to make the stored procedures use temp tables. There are several UDF's within this stored procedure that will need to use the temp tables, and this is where in lies the problem. Does anyone know of a work around that would allow UDF's to use temp tables, or does anyone know of alternate methods instead of temp tables that wouldn't involve too much change?

Temp Tables

Apr 7, 2006

Hi,

I have a called stored procedure which creates a bunch of temporary tables, inserts data into them, indexes the tables and then returns to the main calling SP. In the main stored procedure I then do SELECTs from the temporary tables. My problem is I keep getting
invalid object errors on the temporary tables:
Invalid object name '#temp_table1'

The stored procedure is in a test environment. In the SELECT I tried a prefix of database owner (my logon) as well as "dbo." but still get the error. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated.

No Temp Tables In SQLDatasource?????

Apr 12, 2006

   Please tell me there's something I haven't set.   I've done several tests now.   If your final return in a stored proc is from a temp table (ala #mytable ) the system cannot read the schema - for that matter, it won't run at all, complaining that the object #mytable doesn't exists.
It can't possible be that temp tables aren't allowed in procs used by SQLDatasource - please tell me what I am doing wrong.
This proc, when fed to a sqldatasource,  fails in the designer with #temp does not exists.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.repTest_TempASBEGIN
CREATE TABLE #Temp( [iTestID]  uniqueidentifier, [bTest] [bit], [cTest] [varchar] )
INSERT INTO #TempSELECT *FROM tTest

Temp Tables And Performance

Mar 17, 2001

I have been researching some performance problems in a very large
application and I have a couple of questions about temp tables. (SQL 7.0
SP2)

I have one large procedure that I have been using as a test case.
Originally this procedure was a cursor with lots of processing steps
involving writing to, reading from and deleting in temp tables inside the
cursor. I remember reading that temp tables inside a cursor were a
potential performance problem, so I rewrote the procedure, replacing the
cursor with a While Loop.

Doing this showed no increase in performance. Since Profiler was showing .5
second duration times on statements in the procedure accessing the temp
tables I tested some more. I moved all the create statements to the top of
the procedure, as I know these statements after processing steps can cause
recompiles to happen. Still no performance increase.

Finally I replaced all the temp tables with actual tables, just to see what
would happen. With no other changes the performance increased by more than
500%.

Can someone give me some clues as to what is happening here, because if this
is a symptom of something I don't understand, the potential performance
problems from other places where temp tables are similarly used in the
application are enormous.

Thanks.
