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?
I have a stored procedure (a) which calls another stored procedure (b).
Stored procedure (b) is a C# stored procedure which simply writes out to a file data in XML format. Internally, it calls...select fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5from #tmptable for xml auto, elements
If I call stored procedure (a) from Query Analyser / SQL Management Studio everything works fine. Perfect.
But....we need this all to run asynchronously. So we used the Service Broker, configured the queues and messages and off we went. All worked as planned except our XML files were empty.
Further investigation showed that if we call select fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5from #tmptable
- without the 'xml' bits, we got a resultset back. But if we call it with the for xml auto, elements, the reader was empty. No errors are visible in the profiler, but the XmlReader refuses to read.
The binary / extended stored procedure is the same pysical binary that is called from Query analyser that works, but via the Service Broker refuses to do anything XML based. Outputting the data as normal text is cool, but not what we want.
----------------- UPDATE -------------- I changed the code so the CLR Stored proc was fired as a trigger on an update to a table. If I update the table in Query analyser, the trigger fires, the CLR Stored proc is called, the XML is generated.
If I update the table as part of my message handling in the Service Broker queue, the trigger is fired, the CLR Stored proc is called, the XML is generated EMPTY!!! The other TSQL statements work fine, but selecting for xml simply will not work for a procedure called, either implicitly or explicitly from the service broker.
I am trying to move a flat file into a temporary table but the pre-execute phase looks for the table and fails the package. Is there away around this? I have set the connection RetainSameConnection to true but that doesn't appear to help in the dataflow.
If you create a #temp table on stored procedure #1 and then call another stored procedure #2 from #1; if stored procedure #2 has an error in it, the #temp table will not release even though stored procedure #1 has a drop table statement in it.
Let's say that I have a stored proc that is assigned to a service broker queue and is constantly running while it waits for messages in said queue. When a message comes in on the queue, the stored proc creates a table variable based off of the contents of the message and performs various operations with the data. Since the stored proc is constantly running, do the contents of this table variable ever truly get emptied? Should I be deleting the contents of the table variable at the end of the operation to ensure that stale data doesn't persist?
We are using the whole BI-package from Microsoft - from SQL, DTS-package,Raporting Service and Analyze Service.
It should be very helpful to be able to create a metadata databases where you could find all releations between different objects (tables,views,reports,cubes,DTS-package,Databases.
Just to get answer for: 'where is view xxx used', 'what are Report xxx depending upon'.
While everything exists in different SQL databases it should possible to do.
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'>
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.

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"?
i have a list report some values of this are blank or null i want to avoid that spacing if it is null like name:jjj lastname kkk firstname address uuuu
i want it should be name jjj lastname kkk address uuuu
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
I have 3 Checkbox list panels that query the DB for the items. Panel nº 2 and 3 need to know selection on panel nº 1. Panels have multiple item selection. Multiple users may use this at the same time and I wanted to have a full separation between the application and the DB. The ASP.net application always uses Stored Procedures to access the DB. Whats the best course of action? Using a permanent 'temp' table on the SQL server? Accomplish everything on the client side?

In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

I have some problem about reporting service add-in.
After I install reporting service add-in for SharePoint, reporting service menu does not appear in Application Management Tab in SharePoint Central Administration.
I try to uninstall and re-install again, it remain not work.
I am attempting to execute a stored procedure as the sql query for a data transformation from sql into an excel file. The stored procedure I am calling uses temp tables (#tempT1, #tempT2, etc.) to gather results from various calculations. When I try to execute this sp, I get 'Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Error Description: Invalid Object name "#tempT1"'
Is there a way to make a DTS package call a stored procedure that uses temp tables?
I want to check to see if a temporary table exists before I try creating one but I can't seem to find which sys table or schema collection I check. Any ideas?
-- 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.
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?
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.

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 SELECT *FROM #Temp END
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.
The problem is we need local tables in Access for SubReports (can't use store procedures as record source for this), therefore trying to create temp table and link to Access for each report instance.
When we create the ## type table in tempdb this cannot be linked from Access (cannot be seen via DSN). The only other option we can find is doing CREATE TABLE tempdb.dbo.[tablename] but this requires the user to have admin permissions and therefore be 'dbo' on tempdb and not 'guest'.
Is there any way to test if a table exists in the temp dB. In a procedure I create table called ##Test but I want to test if it exists before it's created and if it does I want to delete it. (It has to be a ## table because it's in a procedure being called in another procedure depending on an IF statement). The reason I want to do this is that I have multiple users and Occasionally they get the ... There is already an object named '##Test' in the database. error
I am creating an sp, in which I check for the existence of a global temp table (using the exists) statement. If the Exists returns a false, I move on to processing without the temp table. If it returns a true, I utilize the temp table to do some inserts. I create the temp table when my application first starts up. The problem that I am facing is that the check for the temp table`s existence seems to be failing. Is there any other way to check for the existence of a global temp table??
I am creating a dts package which copies data via transform data task from a sql sever connection to an excel spreadsheet connection. The transform data task uses a query that goes like this.
create table #temp1(CName varchar(10))
Insert #temp1 select CName from tbl1
--tbl1 is in a user DB called SALES
create table #temp2(VName varchar(10))
Insert #temp2 select CName from #temp1
select * from #temp2
--I need the resultset of the last select statement into an excel spreadsheet. The problem is I can't even create the dts package..it shows up with an error saying that #temp1 is an invalid object....I am guessing that since the default database for the transform data task has been selected as SALES it is trying to locate the the #temp1 or #temp2 table in that DB instead of looking in the TEMPDB....My question is..is there any workaround for this problem.
I have 4 temporary tables that hold criteria selected through a report wizard. I've created a SQL statement and used the four tables in my WHERE/ AND clauses but the results retuned are not being filtered correctly.
Would somebody be kind enough to help me out please.
To briefly summarise, I have created a SQL statement that returns all rows in my recordset, I now need to implement some additional SQL to filter the recordset using my temporary tables, which contain the filters as follows:
(1) Temp table 1 (##tblTempAssetFilt) is mandatory and will always contain at least one row. (2) Temp table 2 (##tblTempRepairTypeFilter) is optional and may never contain any rows. If this is the case then I have no reason to filter my resultset against this table. (3) Temp table 3 (##tblTempRepairFilter) / Temp table 4 (##tblTempRepairElementFilter) are both optional, only one of these tables will contain data at one time. Again, as an optional filter the tables may never contain rows, and thus need to be ignored.
I have the following SQL, can somebody tell me how I would go about filtering the recordset using the temporary tables. The creation of the temporary tables occurs at the beginning so will always exist even when no rows have been inserted.
SELECT * FROM tblActualWork [ActualWork] JOIN tblRepair [Repair] ON ActualWork.intRepairID = Repair.intRepairID JOIN tblRepairElement [RepairElement] ON Repair.intRepairElementID = RepairElement.intRepairElementID JOIN tblRepairType [RepairType] ON Repair.intRepairTypeID = RepairType.intRepairTypeID JOIN tblAsset [Asset] ON ActualWork.intAssetID = Asset.intAssetID WHERE ActualWork.intAssetID IN (Select intAssetID From ##tblTempAssetFilter) AND Repair.intRepairTypeID IN (Select intRepairTypeID From ##tblTempRepairTypeFilter) AND Repair.intRepairID IN (Select intRepairID From ##tblTempRepairFilter) AND Repair.intRepairElementID IN (Select intRepairElementID From ##tblTempRepairElementFilter)
Any filtering must be based on the recordset filtered by temp table 1, which is a mandatory filter. Rows will always exist in this temp table.
Please help, not having much joy with this. Many thanks.
