I have an sql query that has specific criteria (like state='PA' or
state = 'NJ'...) and would like to be able to have the user specify
the criteria dynamically either through the web or from MSAccess or
another tool.
The query also does a GROUP BY the state and other variables that are
part of the criteria.
I know how to get MSAccess and asp pages to do the sorting and
selecting against an SQL tbl or view, but when access queries the same
info as the original sql view, the process takes much longer than when
the sql view does all of the sorting, selecting and grouping..
The table we are currently using is 5 million records and will be
growing to 250 million records shortly, so speed is of the essence.
The sql views and MSAccess are both running from the same server so
there is no issue at this point of a network impacting the MSAccess
query.
I have a report in SQL that passes parameters at runtime entered by the user for two date ranges (beginning and ending). I'm trying to write a formula that will print a specific field *only if* the specified date range entered by the user is BETWEEN a specific value (like 200401). This is kind of reverse of a normal WHERE, BETWEEN clause.
I tried a standard BETWEEN predicate in my WHERE clause like: IF '200401' BETWEEN ?BegPer and ?EndPer then salesanal.ptdbud01 else 0
But, it's returning an error that my Then statement is missing. I can't use a normal statement like 'IF ?BegPer >= '200401' and ?EndPer <= '200401', then.....' because users could enter a RANGE of periods, so it would be difficult to code all of the possible combinations this way. I'm actually doing this in Crystal, but if someone can give me a standard MSSQL example, I can translate that over to Crystal.
hello all, im trying to run a select statement using a parameter, but am having extreme difficulties. I have tried this about 50 different ways but i will only post the most recent cause i think that im the closest now than ever before ! i would love any help i can get !!! Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim pageID As StringpageID = Request.QueryString("ID") TextBox13.Text = pageID 'Test to make sure the value was stored SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@pageID", pageID) End Sub .... <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ProviderName=System.Data.SqlClient ConnectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=software;Integrated Security=True;User=something;Password=something" 'SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE [ClientID]='@pageID' ></asp:SqlDataSource>
The error that i am getting, regardless of what i put inside the ' ' is as follows: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '@pageID' to data type int."
In which system table the information about the optional parameters passed to stored procedure are stored.I know about the tbl_columns and all that stuff. From where can i can come to know the parameter is mandatory or optional.--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
I am having the "classical problem" of the forums; A local date changed to the american format (normally in the development environment) which I call "Switching months with days"... well it switches both again if you press "view report" again :)The problem I'm having is that when I Navigate from one report to other, the dates get switched... Everything's been set in the locale uk date format (dd/mm/aaaa), in the operating system, in the database and in the reports... and the reports are working properly through the web interface.. the only thing that is not working properly is the Navigation which switches the date month with the day...Changing all the Reporting Services server, database server to the american format date is not an acceptable solution. Thanks for any guidance on this, as I'm pretty lost...Jose
I am having a question about how can I put a chart and a table in a same page of my report? And let the same parameters passed between them? Is it possible in SQL server 2005 Reporting Services? Please would any experts here shed me any light on it?
Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi,I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads: "Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized." If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks,Mark
So I have a report that uses an MDX query to fetch the main data for the tablix. Then I have a custom row added which pulls data in via a Lookup function and references a different dataset. The report has 3 parameters. Each dataset uses those 3 parameters in its underlying query. However, the dataset referenced in the lookup function doesnt seem to be updating when change the parameters and re-run the report.
I have created an SSIS package where I have added an Execute SQL Task to run an existing stored procedure in my SQL database.
General Tab:
Result Set: None Connection Type: OLE DB SourceType: Direct Input IsQueryStoredProcedure: False (this is greyed out and cannot be changed) Bypass Prepare: True SQL Statement: EXEC FL_CUSTOM_sp_ml_location_load ?, ?;
Parameter Mapping:
Variable Name Direction Data Type Prmtr Name Prmtr Size User: system_cd Input NVARCHAR 0 10 User: location_type_cd Input NVARCHAR 1 10
Variables:
location_type_cd - Data type - string; Value - Store (this is static) system_cd - Data type - string - ?????? The system code changes based on the system field for each record in the load table
STORED PROCEDURE: The stored procedure takes data from a load table and inserts it into another table:
Stored procedure variables: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ml_location_load] (@system_cd nvarchar(10), @location_type_cd nvarchar(10)) AS BEGIN .....................
This is an example of what I want to accomplish: I need to be able to group all system 3 records, then pass 3 as the parameter for system_cd, run the stored procedure for those records, then group all system 18 records, then pass 18 as the parameter for system_cd, run the stored procedure for those records and keep doing this for each different system in the table until all records are processed.
I am not sure how or if it can be done to pass the system parameter to the stored procedure based on the system # in the sys field of the data.
I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
I am writing a stored procedure that takes in a customer number, a current (most recent) sales order quote, a prior (to most current) sales order quote, a current item 1, and a prior item 1, all of these parameters are required.Then I have current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, which are optional.
I added an IF to check for the value of current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, if there are values, then variable tables are created and filled with data, then are retrieved. As it is, my stored procedure returns 3 sets of data when current item 1, prior item 1, current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3 are passed to it, and only one if 2, and 3 are omitted.I would like to learn how can I return this as a one data set, either using a full outer join, or a union all?I am including a copy of my stored procedure as it is.
I have a question about using Parameters in queries. I created a list of parameters that the user can select from. For example one is MS07%. The other parameter is a list of locations that is built from a query. These parameters are then being used in a query to build a dataset. When i try to preview the report I select parameters the I know work because I tested the query with them, I get an error that says "Must declate the scalar variable "@Param1". I'm not really sure what that means. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all, I have a MDX query that has been put together from a Analysis Services Cube in Reporting Services, as below: SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[MM Document Count], [Measures].[FI Document Total], [Measures].[MM Document Total], [Measures].[FI Document Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Year].[Financial Year].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Period].[Financial Period].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGSIt has a parameters @LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, which creates the following dataset query: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL' SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI] Within the Report Parameters it is set with as being a Multi value parameter and default value for return all records: [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[All] This work fine when previewing report & when I build. Problem is when I drop a report viewer control in VWD 2005 and attach this report, it does not run with the default values when the page loads. Does anyone have a idea what I might be doing wrong? or/and how would i pass a value from a listbox extbox to the parameter and then run the report? Thanks in advance Kevin
I want to create a web page where a user can select from 1-100 fields to include in output, and then query a table to only return the fields the user has selected.
I do not want to construct a dynamic SQL SELECT statement. I would rather use a stored procedure, but am not certain how to only return the fields that the user selected.
Though I am a novice to MS SQL server (2000 I believe), I can do almost!everything I need. Maybe not efficiently, but usefully. However, I havea problem -- a complex query problem...I can create a parameter query in a stored procedure, but how do I usethe result set of a parameter query in a select query (in the same oranother sp)? In short, if a select query contains a result table that isgenerated as a parameter query, how do I pass the parameter through theselect query to the nested parameter query?For example, if I have a sp parameter query called [e_typerows], I couldwrite the following select query which uses the (single) result set from[e_typerows] plus other tables or views:SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT bi_occ_01_e.row, bi_occ_01_e.pos,bi_dictionary_e.typestring, bi_occ_01_e.shadowFROM bi_dictionary_e INNER JOIN(bi_occ_01_e INNER JOIN[e_typerows] ON bi_occ_01_e.row = [e_typerows].row) ONbi_dictionary_e.typeid = bi_occ_01_e.typeidORDER BY bi_occ_01_e.row, bi_occ_01_e.posEven though [e_typerows] is a (storted procedure) parameter query thiswill work IF my parameter in [e_typerows] has a default, say "yyyy". Inthe default case no parameter needs passing. But what if it doesn't havea default value or if I need to pass a parameter to it?Is there any way to replace[e_typerows]in the above query with somethinglike [e_typerows @myparameter='xxxx']? (Maybe I should try that! I'veseen nothing about it though.)My parameter query, [e_typerows], looks like this in fact:@typestringparameter varchar(100) = "yyyy"SELECT dbo.bi_dictionary_e.typestring, dbo.bi_occ_01_e.rowFROM dbo.bi_occ_01_e INNER JOINdbo.bi_dictionary_e ONdbo.bi_occ_01_e.typeid = dbo.bi_dictionary_e.typeidGROUP BY dbo.bi_dictionary_e.typestring,dbo.bi_occ_01_e.rowHAVING (dbo.bi_dictionary_e.typestring = @typestringparameter)Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (For the moment, I firstgenerate the parameter query result set, then I loop through each row ofthat result set and do a select query with that row as a parameter --very complicated!, though it does work.)
If I were to create a stored procedure that searches a table using (optional) multiple parameters, what would be the best way to do the search. I want to try and avoid using several "IF" statements (like IF @FirstName IS NOT NULL, etc). How would I do it, or would I just be better off using several "IF" statements? Thanks... CREATE PROCEDURE intranet_search_GetEmployeesBySearch ( @FirstName NVarChar(100), @LastName NVarChar(100), @Phone NVarChar(50), @Cell NVarChar(100), @Pager NVarChar(100), @Ext NVarChar(50), @Email NVarChar(100), @Department NVarChar(200), @Position NVarChar(100), @IsManager Bit ) AS BEGIN
I need to create a stored procedure that will have about 10-15 queries and take 3 parameters. the variables will be: @lastmonth, @curryear and @id @lastmonth should inherit Session variable intlastmonth @curryear should inherit Session variable intCurrYear @id should inherit Session id One example query is SELECT hours FROM table WHERE MONTH ='" + Session("intLastmonth") + "' AND YEAR ='" + Session("intCurrYear") + "' AND [NUMBER] = '" + Session("id") The rest of the queries will be similar and use all 3 variables as well. How can I go about this and how will queries be seperated.
I am trying to make it that a user can just click on my form and generate a custom sql query.
for example: If I had three list boxes,I would like my user to be able to click on any of the items in the three boxes and come up with a datagrid displaying the query results.(in effect creating an individual query
i.e ListBox1 robert redford dustin hoffman steve mc queen ListBox2 butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid the Sting straw dogs pappilon List 3 1965 1966(through to) 2008)
So then I want my user to come along click on Dustin Hoffman then click on a film(the sting perhaps) then the year,to find out if Dustin was actually in that film in that particular year...and if he was produce the details. This will create a "custom" sql statement like
select * from lst 1 ...ect.
What I would like to know is can this actually be done.
This is only a small example of the datbase.I have thousands of films and name ect so it can get quite big.
I have DWH where users query on regular basis. I wanted to know what queries they run and which user fired the queries for the last one month or 6 months.
I pull data from Sql Server through the  query, I want to pass the region parameter to the power pivot connection query. So that I can automatically pull the required region data.  The parameter should pick the value from the excel range. And also how to control this through VBAÂ
Hi everybody,I've five instances of SQL Server 2000 with the SAME database with aDIFFERENT owner in each server. I, as the administrator, have a lot ofqueries that I have to execute in some or all servers. The problem isthat I have to connect to all servers with MY user, not each of the dbowners...So I have queries this way:select * from mike.table1 t1 join mike.table2 t2 on...And when I connect to another server I have to change mike for jeremyin all the SQLs...And when I connect to another server I have to change jeremy for ninain all the SQLs...I know that there was an old, v7, deprecated way to change the"schema", something likechange current user to kimberlygoselect * from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on...This way, I'll change ONLY once the connected user. I could even do atthe beginning of the script an IF, to change the connected userdepending on @@SERVERNAME !!!Can someone remember this instruction???Thanks in advance for your help !!!
We have created several Table Valued User Defined Functions in a Production SQL Server 2005 DB that are returning large (tens of thousands of) rows obtained through a web service. Our code is based on the MSDN article Extending SQL Server Reporting Services with SQL CLR Table-Valued Functions .
What we have found in our implementations of variations of this code on three seperate servers is that as the rowset grows, the length of time required to return the rows grows exponentially. With 10 columns, we have maxed out at approximately 2 500 rows. Once our rowset hit that size, no rows were being returned and the queries were timing out.
Here is a chart comparing the time elapsed to the rows returned at that time for a sample trial i ran:
It took 570 seconds (just over 9 1/2 minutes to return 2566 rows).
The minute breakdown during my trial is as follows: 1 = 655 (+ 655) 2 = 1081 (+ 426) 3 = 1325 (+244) 4 = 1610 (+285) 5 = 1822 (+212) 6 = 1988 (+166) 7 = 2160 (+172) 8 = 2308 (+148) 9 = 2451 (+143)
As you can tell, except for a few discrepancies to the resulting row count at minutes 4 and 7 (I will attribute these to timing as the results grid in SQL Management Studio was being updated once every 5 seconds or so), as time went on, fewer and fewer rows were being returned in a given time period. This was a "successful" run as the entire rowset was returned but on more than several occasions, we have reached the limit and have had 0 new rows per minute towards the end of execution.
Allow me to explain the code in further detail:
[SqlFunction(FillRowMethodName = "FillListItem")] public static IEnumerable DiscoverListItems(...) {
ArrayList listItems = new ArrayList();
SPToSQLService service = new SPToSQLService();
[...]
DataSet itemQueryResult = service.DoItemQuery(...); // This is a synchronous call returning a DataSet from the Web Service
//Load the DS to the ArrayList
return listItems; }
public static void FillListItem(object obj, out string col1, out string col2, out string col3, ...) {
As you will notice, the web service is called, and the DataSet is loaded to an ArrayList object (containing ArrayList objects), before the main ArrayList is returned by the UDF method. There are 237 rows returned within 10 seconds, which leads me to believe that all of this has occured within 10 seconds. The method GetListItems has executed completely and the ArrayList is now being iterated through by the code calling the FillListItem method. I believe that this code is causing the result set to be returned at a decreasing rate. I know that the GetListItems code is only being executed once and that the WebService is only being called once.
Now alot of my larger queries ( > 20 000 rows) have timed out because of this behaviour, and my workaround was to customize my web service to page the data in reasonable chunks and call my UDF's in a loop using T-SQL. This means calling the Web Service up to 50 times per query in order to return the result set.
Surely someone else who has used Table Valued UDFs has come accross this problem. I would appreciate some feedback from someone in the know, as to whether I'm doing something wrong in my code, or how to optimize an SQL Server properly to allow for better performance with CLR functions.
Hi,I have an on screen control to select data from a table. Here are the parameters for the select: <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="bezlan" Name="recievername" /> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="bezlan" Name="recieversname" />this works perfectly if I sign in as bezlan <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="User.Identity.Name" Name="recievername" /> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="User.Identity.Name" Name="recieversname" /> this doesnt pick up any data at all if I sign in as bezlan.Why is this? Is there a special bit of code I need for parameters?Thanks,Jon
I have a stored procedure that works fine in reporting services. It grabs the total of Yes's and No's by dates . But then i went ahead and added 2 more parameters to the proc, and now the totals are all wrong. I dont understand how that can mess everything up. Here is the previous stored proc, that gives the correct sum.
Code Snippet ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Testing_Questions_ALL_YESOrNO] @Question char(80) AS BEGIN

I have a report that I want users to navigate to and I want them to see the parameters of the report, but I don't want them to be able to change them. Is this possible?
I have to write an aggregate which accumulates values in a relation to a parameter. Therefore I tried to create an aggregate with an additional input parameter.
While creating the aggregate, I get the following error message: CREATE AGGREGATE failed because type 'MKT' does not conform to UDAGG specification due to method 'Accumulate'.
Does anybody know, how I could solve this?

I wanted to create a report with parameters. The users will access the reports via http://localhost/Reportserver/myReportName
Now, each user will have their own default parameters and would like to be stored(somewhere!!!) as "user preference", so nexttime when they access this report it should display data with the "user preference" parameters.
Can someone give me some advise to implement this.
Hello, Does anyone know how to pass the userid (domainaccount) of the person runnig the report to the proc underneath. With asp.net calling Crystal Reports, this was simple.
