I recently generated a script using SQL Server 2005 for a local
database that is configured as SQL Server 2000. Nevertheless, the
script used the new structures and syntax (i.e., sys.objects vs.
sysobjects). Is there a way that I can force SQL Server 2005 to use
the old 2000 syntax? I notice that when I script objects on a remote
SQL Server 2000 machine, it does use the old syntax.

Just by using SQL Server 2000, what's the best way to run a stored procedure outputing the results to an excel sheet? I don't have Crystal Reports or any other 3rd party reporting tool to help me, a restriction of our client.
Found this http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid87_gci1057989,00.html sp_write2Excel. Would this be the best way? Any other methods? The SQL server does not have MS Office so I think I need to ouput to a csv file.
I'm attempting to generate a model for our manufacturing database in Report Server. I can create the Data Source, but when I attempt to generate the model, I get several errors in the following format ...
More than one item in the Entity 'CUST ADDRESS' has the name 'COUNTRY'. Item names must be unique among immediate siblings. (DuplicateItemName) Get Online Help
More than one Field in the Entity 'CUST ADDRESS' has the name 'COUNTRY'. Field names must be unique within an Entity. (DuplicateFieldName) Get Online Help
There are several pairs of similar error messages (DuplicateItemName and DuplicateFieldName) listed.
The tables (i.e. CUST_ADDRESS) do contain the column name (i.e. COUNTRY) but are otherwise unremarkable.
Clicking the "Get Online Help" link leads to a page with an apology and no useful information.
The database is at Compatibility Level 80, but I am able to generate models for other databases at that level.
I've run DBCC CHECKDB against the database and it returns without errors.
This is on SQL Server 2005, Standard Edition x64 with SP2.
I'm at a loss for what to do next, there doesn't seem to be any documentation for this error available.
Thanks for any insight into this matter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After some additional research, I've discovered that in the problem entities, i.e. "CUST ADDRESS", there is a column named "COUNTRY" and a separate column named "COUNTRY_ID". I tried renaming the COUNTRY_ID column in a test copy of the database and was then able to generate the data model in Reporting Services. The problem appears to be that the model generator is unable to differentiate between a column name "COUNTRY" with one named "COUNTRY_ID".
However, I cannot do this to my production database. Is there any fixes or workarounds in Reporting Services to handle this type of situation?
Because of the way in which a specific piece of code is written, I'm bound into using a WHERE clause for a report generation.Each Inspection generates a unique Inspection Number. Any re-inspection created from that inspection is assigned that Inspection Number and appended with ".A", ".B", ".C" and so on.
The problem is this: Each row's Primary Key is the "InspectionId" in "dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports". I need to return not only the data related to that particular InspectionId, but also the data related to any previous related inspection. For example, if I have a main number of CCS-2012 and three re-inspections, CCS-2012.A, CCS-2012.B and CCS-2012.C, and I report on CCS-2012.B, I need all the data for CCS-2012, CCS-2012.A and CCS-2012.B but NOT CCS-2012.C.
I would prefer to not have to do everything in a WHERE statement, but my hands are a bit tied.
The "SELECT * FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports WHERE . . ." is already hardcoded (don't ask).
SELECT *
FROM dbo.v_InspectionDetailsReports
WHERE ( RefOnly = 0
OR RefOnly IS NULL
[code]...
I have a requirement of generating an "Sales Report" excel file and mailing that file to a particular email id. I have generated the excel file through bcp command and mail is working fine.
However formatting of excel file is required by end user for eg. Cells to be merged and borders to be given for cells for which i think bcp command will not work.
I have a quick question regarding SQL Server Enterprise Manager. I'm looking at setting up a job to automatically create DDL for a user database. This will be done along with our normal nightly backup routine.
I'm very familiar with using EM to create SQL scripts, but is there anyway to schedule this task? I've considered DTS and some type of scheduled package, but can't seem to find anything similar. I'm thinking I may need a custom task.
Could someone please shed some light on the subject? If not from within EM, how about any third party tools? FYI - I already own the Embarcadero suite and am trying it out wwith that.
Thank You.

hi
I want to generate excel file which contain table name , column name,datatype ,size
how we can do in sql server
is there any way
pleases tell the steps
Server:
SQL 2005 SP2 on Win 2003 Ent. SP1
A 3rd part app is requiring that I create a credential, whick in turn requires an SMK be set. When I try to create the credential, I get an error message indicating a decryption error. When I run the alter command to regenerate the key (without force) it throws an error indicating the key cannot be decrypted. According to a KB article I found, this may indicate that a key has never been generated.
My question is, I have a number of production databases in this instance, including SQL Reporting Services. Except for the SRS DB's, all other user db's are simple db's that don't use encryption. If I run the Force command to generate the key, am I going to break anything? I'm really concerned about report servioces.
Thanks.

Hello all,
I have a data driven subscription with the information about the file name/file extension/ path etc coming in from a database. The problem is that the subscription status after running tells me that things are done and there is no error but the file is not being generated in the specified directory and for that reason the file is not generated at all anywhere on the hard disk. can anybody please help.
The information in the database for the report is as follows
FileName : Test1
FileExtn : True
Path = \ram\C$Reports
Render_Format = PDF
Username = Administrator
Password = password
Writemode = Overwrite
All the fields are varchar(50) in size.

Hi,
I am working with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service from few days, though I am
not expert, for some reason I have to run on field without having sound
knowledge of RDL, but need your help, gys. I am using SQL Server Business
Intelligence Development Studio to design report.
Here is the procedure of my work to populate a RDL report
I used a stored procedure for the DataSet of my RDL
Then I drag and drop necessary field to my report layout.
Put required parameters to preview tab and then run report.
This is quite simple, I didn't face any problem with this process, even though
the process may not correct, but working perfect. My problem is
when the stored procedure returns multiple result set. The data tab only
shows the first result set though the SP returns multiple result set, I have
run the SP in the Query Analyzer. I don't want change my stored procedure.
And please give me some suggestions about the best procedure
to develop RDL report in real life.
Please reply me ASAP, it€™s very urgent.
Thank youTareqe
Hi,
Can any one tell me how can I create auto number (similar feature to MS Access) i.e. autmatic increament by 1 in MS SQL 2005 (without using any script)
Does anyone know an efficient method for generating a sequence number in the following form?
Starting with 2 columns
1 2
----
A X
A Y
B X
B Y
B Z
C X
I want to then generate a third column as follows:
1 2 3
-------
A X 1
A Y 2
B X 1
B Y 2
B Z 3
C X 1
The purpose being so that I can easily identify the previous row within a Column1 group. So given column1=A and column2=Y I know that the previous row is Column3 - 1 where column1 = A. Therefore I will be able to join to the previous result of any row within any group quickly for future calculations.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have an error table that is to be updated by more than one package.
There is a sequence number generated in the error table. It is generated by using the max value of the previous data present in the table.

Hi.I have a database I need to supply something (I'm assuming a t-sql script..maybe something else is better) to update customer tables with.The operations include mostly changing varchar lengths, though a couple ofcolumns were renamed.I'd like to maybe figure out how to get Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzerto generate the scripts.I can't just send alter table scripts because I'm involving all sorts ofconstraints that have to be disabled/or dropped, the alter made, then havethem enabled/ or re-created.Basically I'm hoping to get the tools to do the rather large amount of workfor me.

Say I have a report that is running for a long time and I want to cancel it.
Is there a way to cancel the report generation once we submit the Report Generation Button? If I close my Browser, Am I closing my session in the server side? If server is still churning out the old report and I open another browser to request the same report, I might easily crash the server if the requests for the same report keep growing?
How do I handle or how does SSRs handle this?
Thanks in advance to you all experts..

options for attribute generation. The query:

,'Path'Â Â Â as "@TargetDirectoryPath"

generates the following:
<Deliverable DeliverableName="Delivery" TargetDirectoryPath="Path" />
