Reporting Tools To Use With SQL Server 2000... HELP URGENT !!!
May 22, 2001
Hi,
I am currently working on a project which requires reports that need multi-pass queries. I am currently using Crystal Report 8.5 and am not sure how to use multi-pass queries.
Here's some explanation about what I need :
A report has 10 different columns (counters). However, to get the values in all the columns, the filters (WHERE clause) are different for all the columns.
The only way I can think of doing this in Crystal Reports 8.5 is using Sub-reports (that will kill my performance) or then write stored procedures to populate an intermediate table on which the report will be based on.
Is there any reporting tool in the market that will help me pass multiple queries (with different WHERE clauses) in the same report.
I would appreciate your help on the above the earliest.
I have to go back east.. I am going to be working remotely. We still used SQL Server 2000 at work.. Will I be able to use SQL Server 2005 Express edition to remotely connect to and modify stored procs and tables?
According to MS Knowledge Base Article 269824, "[SQL Server 2000 ClientTools] ... must be installed ... on any computer on which someone may makedesign changes in an Access project to a SQL Server 2000 database".This is the situation I'm facing. Can I download these Client Tools andinstall them for free, or are they only available on the SQL Server 2000Installation CD?Thanks for any help!
Ok so i am thinking of get the Microsoft SQL server 2000 Developer Edition, i have some questions. - Does it include the server and tools?- What tools does it include? The same as the Enterprise Version?- Will it positively work on Windows XP Pro?- Will you need to install anything else? Does it come with the Microsoft Server Desktop Edition as the server or something?- Will this version allow me to use it to make databases for websites? I searched this forums but i can seem to find what "....it is prohitbited in production..." that means?Thank you and i have tried to search the forums but have gotten no real answers Hope you can read my questions clearly. Thanks!!!!

I'm trying to re-install SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine andSQL Server client tools. I have succesfully re-installed the desktop engine,but I am getting the following error message when attempting to re-install theclient tools.
"Setup has detected an existing client tools only installation. Please use the maintenance mode to add client components"
Unfortunately the Upgrade/Add/Remove option is greyed out as an install option.
I attempted the registry hive rebuild option and the install appeared to succeed. However, I cannot access any tools (Enterprise Manager comes up with the message "The selected file cannot be found").
At this point, the desktop engine appears in Add/Remove programs Window, but no other SQL Server components.
Hi, A quick Q for all the Sql Server 2000 beta testers out there. Does anyone know of any problems associated with using SS2000 Enterprise Manager with a SS7 backend running SP2? In particular, I'm keen to try out the Tsql debugger features, if they'll work with SS7.
Many thanks in advance, Jon Reade, Sql Server 7 DBA NEC Technologies (UK) Ltd Telford, Shropshire.
i want to create fulltext search for that i have started Microsoft Search component but when i am tring to open SQL server Enterprise manager, i am getting sql server group but it showing "no items" not any database or any other data. what to do.
Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET' I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer, not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do. last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
Hello All, I am not sure what is going on, but ever since I installed my ASP.NET shopping cart I keep getting the following error message in my Event Viewer under Application. If anyone out there has any idea why this is happening please let me know because it seems to be crashing my other sites on my web server. I have a Web Server which connects to a separate SQL 2000 Server. This error message is on my Web Server. Thank you all in advance for your help!

I have an urgent situation expecting your advice. I have a .net front end application running against SQL 2000 DB in a XP box, it has been working fine for two years, recently when the .Net app starts, it works still ok getting data from sql database on the first form (dislpay data retreived from a table and view in a master-client grid), while I often get timeout error when I proceed with other processes that need sql database and I noticed that the HD light on SQL server machine (XP) kept flashing when timeout error occured, seems it kept reading/writing disk. I could not even close enterprise manager from SQL Server box when the HD was busy, and it also took a considerable long time to reboot the machine. sometimes I just shut down the machine (power off) and turn on the power again, then the sql server came back to life and could work stable for a couple of days.
Do I need reindex? reinstall sql server? or might it be relating to hardware issue?
We have few branches with individual dbs are sitting in the branches itself. Periodically all the data need to be updated to a single HQ database. At the moment, all the tables's primary key are unique and each branch will have branch ID's in the transaction tables.
e.g. Branch1 data need to be updated to HQ db. However, HQ db records which are related to Branch 1 data only need to be updated back to Branch 1. other branch records should not goto Branch1.
Similaryly other branch records need to be updated/replicated back to HQ database. And only records related to the particular branch need to be updated from HQ (if any changes made)..
At the moment, i can do simple replication from one db to another db only... Can anyone guide/give suggestions on how to go about doing this?? If possible, please give steps involved...

Hi every one I am new meber of this community with an urgent new problem with SQL server DTS process:) pls HELP! PROCESS DETAILS:
My data base(db) is on main frame(flat file with hierarchical db format) I used vb script to get that db and split it in to three files so processing is easy after this I use dts PROCESS WITH EXECUTE SQL TASK in combination of some bulk insert scripts to pick these files from server directory and import it in to sql server tables. I know I could have use bulk insert task in dts but my formate file was giving me a problem while I try to develop it through that process so I ended up using tsql bulk insert statment with formate file in the EXECUTE SQL TASK .
PROBLEM : My problem is I have to manually activate VB script where as I want this to be part of my DTS packet so it can be automated.
I know there is Active x scripting task in DTS but have not used it can some one please tell me if this script can be put in to Active X scripting task with or with out any modifications and also what are the modifications I need to do so it can run before other DTS task (which picks the file and insert it in three different tables after format file application.

Am looking for inputs on tools for MSSQL. Some of my requirements are
1) Database Audits or to audit database settings and Logins 2) Performance Monitoring 3) Query Tuning 4) Data Compare 5) Load Testing - to see how an sql instance/server reacts to higher load/volume.
I am looking for reviews/web-links from any first-hand experience wherever possible.
I am trying to do a unattended upgrade of an MSDE 2000 named instance, say MyInstance, to a SQl Server Express Advanced edition. The set up is Mixed Mode Authentication. ( I can't use Windows Authentication for business reasons). The error I get is
SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Creditial. You must use Windows Authentication creditial for the upgrade.
Details are as follows: OS: Windows XP Prof (SP2). Original install: MSDE 2000 Instance name: MyInstance Authentication: SQL Registry Entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMyInstanceMSSQLServer Key LoginMode has a value of 2 ( corresponding to Mixed Mode Auth)

Can't I use SQL Authentication? I could not find a definitive answer on this one. Here's one thread that seem to indicate the same issue
My questions: - Can I use SQL Authentication? - Where am I going wrong? - I know the error message says to use Windows Authentication but I don't understand why I am I forced into using that.
