SRSS 2000 Deployment Questions From A Newbie
Dec 7, 2007
Hi All
Well I have some queries as a newbie to SRSS 2000 reports deployment.
1) I have to build a VB .NET application with a web interface to display reports in that program. Is it possible? Is there any example codeing floating around which I can take a look? Or how to do it?
2) I have to pass the parameters for the report via a VB text box into the report and the report should be displayed. So the parameter bar in the report as it comes in IE7 should not come. How can I do that?
Or in simpler terms
- How to turn the SQL 2000 reporting features off to allow a
simpler report display
- How to display the report in a Microsoft Windows Form
application.
Hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks

I'm going to write an application for a friend's business using VS .NET andSQL Server 2000. I'm confused though as to how I can write everything on mylaptop, then copy to their server. I have an MSDN subscription and did notrealize that I cannot install the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server on XPPro. I can install the development edition, but am I then going to run intoproblems trying to copy it over to their server?My experience lies in Informix / DB2 and Java / JDBC, so this is newterritory for me and I appreciate the help.Derrick Lathem

I'm slowing coming up to speed on configurations and deployment.
I have 2 questions for this thread.
Question 1:
When I create the deployment manifest (the file that gets created when I build) and then run it on the destination machine, there's a step in the wizard that asks for a folder location. The exact page on the wizard is called "Select Installation Folder", just to make it clear what I'm talking about.
What significance does this folder have? I noticed that when I was using the XML config option, the config file appeared there (and nothing else). When I use the SQL Server config option, I didnt see anything going into that folder. Are these the expected results in each case?
The description on that wizard page says, "The installer will install the SSIS package dependencies in the following folder." I'm not sure what this means and if I should expect more than the XML config file to appear in there (in the case when I used XLM config option). What are the "dependencies", other than the config file, that the wizard is saying that the folder will have?
Question 2:
I've been playing with deployment and there's a bunch of "play" packages that are on my test server. How do I clean these up?

I've been doing some VB6 app development against a SqlExpress database, but have confusion with issues of deployment and configuration. It's my intention to distribute the app and db to client installations, both as stand-alone and network-ready shared access. Here's basically what's occurred thus far:
The database originated as an Access mdb file.
Downloaded and installed SqlExpress, Tools, Manager, and sample database(s).
Used the Upsizing Wizard in Access to create a SqlExpress db.
Attached to the database in Express Manager so I could examine and access the table data.
Hit the data through the application with the following connection string:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=.sqlexpress; AttachDBFileName=(MyDataPathAndFileNameHere)
Been developing against this db ever since.
Now, some points of my confusion thus far with regard to deployment:
1. Named Instance and User Instance. I assume I'm using a Named instance with the preceding connection string. Honestly, I don't recall doing any kind of adminstative setup/configuration of the db except attaching to it in Express Manager, so I'm confused over why I would need a User Instance for a local copy of the database. Are there setup steps I've missed or did the Upsizing Wizard do them for me? I've read the white paper on user instance usage, but it raises as many questions to me as it answers. I do understand User instance is intended for local copy of the db, even though I'm not using it that way in development.
2. Do I distribute both the MDF and LDF files? I saw mention somewhere not to distribute the LDF log file, but the app doesn't work without it being there.
3. What has to be done for deployment to a server for shared acccess. Aside from installing SqlExpress, and possibly Manager, I'll need to configure for remote connection usage using Configuration Manager or Surface Area Configuation tools. Does this need an administrator to create and establish users accounts, rights, and such?
4. Are there any reference books out on this stuff yet, besides books online, which I don't find satisfactory.
5. Can SqlExpress coexist on Sql 2000 server? I realize SqlExpress is essentially Sql 2005, but our existing server is Sql 2000. Should it go on a different server?
Sorry for the myriad of newbie questions, but I'm a programmer and not a db admin.
TIA,
Rick

I am a Sys Admin and I am studying SQL to obtain a dba. I am currently running through the 70-228 book and I have a couple questions maybe someone can set me straight.
For SQL Server backups we use Tivoli Storage Manager.
I am currently reading up on DTS, I have used DTS to move databases before. It is pretty straightforward. My question after reading about the usefullness of DTS packages is what are they used for commonly by DBA's? Are they used for backups or are they for pushing transformed data to secondary applications/db's. I see how it works but I want to connect the dots with real world uses.
Another question is about how much you tweak a SQL 2000 db. I have been told by people smarter than me, that very little is done to the DB's after they are created because SQL does a excellent job of optimizing itself. If I have a DB server that is suffering from a lot of I/O overhead what is a way that I can diagnose what is causing the issue. How could I tell if it was hardware growing pains or poor design?

I am pretty new to databases and was wondering whether you guys can help me out or point me in some sort of direction. I am working on my senior design project for college and my group decided to use SQL Server for our databasing needs. So far we installed SQL Server and created out database with permissions and all that stuff. So here is my question:
As of right now we are talking with a company (sniffer software) to get access to some of there code. This program provides information such as host ip and mac address, destination ip and mac address, protocol, port number, bits in, bits out, etc. What we wanted to do was get access to where this information is stored in there program and then push it to our database so we can do analysis on the data. But aside from getting access to this information in the program (we looked into writing an application that does all this ourselves but we are on a time limit) I am confused how to set the database up so that we can have automatic updates to the database using the information we pull from the program. I did a search here and did not find anything and i have been looking on google and the such and haven't had any luck finding anything that will point me in the right direction. If any of you guys can help us out with information it would be greatly appreciated
thanks

I have a fair bit of experience in designing database apps using VBA with MS Access for use on a single PC or for multiple users on an office LAN. I also have some limited web design skills using FrontPage 2000 and Adobe GoLive. However, I am now trying to find the best way (for me) to create a website with an associated online database - something I have never done before. Ideally, I want cheap or free software. I would also prefer visual design tools, like the Access interface.
I have some newbie questions:
SQL Server Express looks like it might be part of a solution. However, I would appreciate some guidance on the limitations of using this free software. What are the situations that would create a need for upgrading to one of the paid for versions of SQL Server?
Would the free webspace facilities provided via many ISP broadband services be suitable for hosting an SQL Server Express database or does this normally only come at extra cost?
What web design tools enable visual design of a website using SQL Server Express?
I have no experience of either SQL Server Express or MySQL, but are there any good reasons why one might choose one over the other?
Any guidance would be much appreciated. I realise I have much to learn!

- I have installed FULL. Does it have any GUI tool for me to create a database?
- how can I login into system?

Just starting out with datamining and all the endless posibilities with it. One of my first questions are is it possible to datamine n-series data.
For example:
Serie 1: 10, 12, 14, 16, 12, 10
Serie 2: 2, 3, 4, 6, 3, 2
Serie 3: 30, 24, 20, 10, 24, 30 (a sort of an inverted pattern)
Lets then say somebody add another datapoint in Serie 1, so...
Serie 1: 10, 12, 14, 16, 12, 10, 12
Serie 2: 2, 3, 4, 6, 3, 2, ?
Serie 3: 30, 24, 20, 10, 24, 30, ?
Can datamining tell me Serie 2 and Serie 3 missing datapoint based upon Serie 1's new number?
This is indeed very simplified data, but I hope the it's possible to see the logic in my question

Dear Friends,
I am a PHP/Delphi MySQL programmer for some years, now I am going to create some code in MS SQL and VB. So I downloaded and registered MS SQL 2005 Server Express Edition and some tools like SQL Server Studio Management Express, and VB 2005 Express.
As I have some knowledge of MySQL design and programming, I have installed MS software, rather without problems. Then, using Studio Management I created new database, new table in it with some four fields (int, varchars and smallint). Then from the same tool I opened table and inserted some data, and closed this application.
Next I opened Visual Basic and in Database Explorer I set up connection to my SQL database indicating the file it is stored in (path*.mdf). I ordered not to copy data to new file but to use original one.
Then in Data Sources I created new data source based on previously set connection. In the end I dragged and dropped my table from Data Sources into my new Form of my new Windows Application, nice grid with panel appeared. So I ran the app, I tried to put some data and then after trying to save (using floppy disk icon on panel) i got error:
Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows.
which appears in event handler for saving in line i've indicated.
Me.Validate()
Me.LudzieBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.LudzieTableAdapter.Update(Me.TestDataSet.ludzie ) ' <-- here highlights
I tried then to add to ID field identity specification, nothing changed. Then in query editor of management console I put some code:
exec sp_configure 'user instances enabled', 1.
Reconfigure.
As some sources mentioned. I restarted Service. Nothing Changed. So this is my problem. What to change.
I use Win XP Pro SP2.
And next one question, even more important for me is the way I connect to database. I found that in Visual Basic Creating new connection in Database Explorer I indicate the file on my local drive!!! And for example if I try to open my table alongside in Management Studio Express and in my App in VB and the error raises
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'FS7120Mm227'.
which is not a surprise for me as in VB i am using file which cannot be shared.
In MySQL I simply put address, port and so on and I could use my database in Delphi, PHP, and another management tools with no hassle. Is it possible in VB? Or it only can be used to exclusive using database?
Please inform me if such questions shall be directed to VB forum, I am not sure, and thank you for _any_ answer.
MS goes right way giving people great possibility to use and even sell small apps using their Express Editions of SQL and VB, but it is still too confusing for people who encouraged start using their apps and have such basic problems.
Michael.

I've been learning SSIS and the BIDS for a few weeks now and there are 2 things that really annoy me. I'm hoping that there is a setting or option or something that I'm missing.
1. I place objects on the Control Flow surface, get everything arranged the way I want it, constraint lines all nice and tidy and then save it. When I open it things aren't the way they were when I closed it. Any way to make them stay the same?
2. If I select multiple objects and copy them when I paste them they are in really interesting places. Any way to have them stay in the same realitive positions?
This is one of the most helpful forums I've ever posted in so thanks to you all for the assistance.

Hi, I have a report with 3 parameters. One of which is Company name. To get the available list for this I use a query: select distinct name from companies, etc. However, I also want the user to be able to select "All" or an equivalent to get all the companies. I tried putting * and % in the default values (non-query), but the drop down list displays "<select a value>". Also I've enabled drill-down, is there a way to auto-expand the results?
Thanks, Dan

I've read quite a few KB articles on deploying SQL Express silently using the command line and a .ini file. Unfortunately I still have some questions before I can make my own .ini file. This is for a local sql server.
What is the INSTANCENAME attribute meant to be? If it is different from the server installed on my local machine which I have coded the application on, would it be an issue?
What should USERNAME/SQLACCOUNT and SQLPASSWORD be? I can't remember having to setup these for the local database so I can't imagine what it's meant to be set as.
What is the PIDKEY?Thank you in advance.

Running SQL Server 2000 on various servers. On my desktop when I open Enterprise Manager I notice that some of the instances show a green arrow and some show a blank circle. I imagine that might have to do with either permissions or the account that the SQL Server Service is running on. Is that correct?
I am using the sa account on these instances and they are all using mixed mode authentication.
Also, I can not stop or start a SQL Server Service from my Enterprise Manager. When I try to start the service from EM I get an 'Access Denied - Error 5 ' message.
Shouldn't I be able to stop/start these services without going to the box they are on?
Thanks in advance.

Sql 2005
I want to grate execute permissions on my stored procedures to a role. While creating the role, it asks for "schemas owned by this role".
To me, the schema is merely a namespace that allows you to group objects, but arent schemas such as db_datawriter roles that are central to the db and only admin type users should have ownership of these, correct ?
In a nutshell, I want to:
create a new role and assign a user to that role
with a stored procedure, grant execute permissions to this role
I was confused by the sql 2005 dialog that asks me to take ownership of roles such as db_datawriter, db_datareader etc, wouldnt that mess up other things with the database ?
help ...
I think its time I review all of the above items
role
user
login
schema

1) I have the Beta Preview of Roger Wolter's book on the subject. Has anything major changed from the beta version to the full version (of the book as well as the product)?
2) I want to build a front-end that queues requests for processing that is ultimately done by a standalone console application. The console app knows nothing about SQL Server 2005, so the database will have to fork/execute this app, pass it arguments on its command line, and pick up the result (written to either standard output or standard error) when it finishes. Is this possible with Service Broker? If so, how?
TIA

The following is a list of questions that I have not been able to obtain concrete answers. I am probably missing something:
1) ReadWriteVariables -- can the updated value for a ReadWriteVariable be accessed within the same data flow? It appears not as I think the PostExecute() fires at the completion of the data flow not the end of the Script Component. Secondarily, the Script Component is a non-blocking transformation so the component does not "see" the end of the pipeline prior to sending data down stream.
2) Record Count -- Because of #1 above, How could you calculate a record count for a data stream? It does not appear that one can calculate the number of records for a data stream within a data flow and then access the count from within the same data flow.
3) FinishOutputs() -- Is the concept of FinishOutputs() applicable to Script Component Destinations? Asked another way, is FinishOutputs() executed at the end of the data stream regardless of whether there are "real" outputs for the component? I can create a "Dummy" output to create FinishOutputs() but is this ok?
4) Script Component -- It appears that the Script Component Source, Transformation or Destination are really defined based on the columns defined in "Inputs and Outputs". Can you convert an Source script component to a transformation script component by simply adding an Output?
Sorry for these basic questions but I am not getting it completely. As you can tell...

Hi All,
We are post-deployment with a serious reporting issue that's causing us to rethink our reporting solution. We're considering moving from what we have to SQL Server Reporting Services (client side).
I have spent the past couple of days getting up to speed on this feature and seeing if we can easily migrate it into our existing application. However, I've hit a couple of stumbling blocks and was hoping perhaps someone here could either tell me the solution or point me in the right direction.
I'm not having any problems creating basic reports (e.g. flat data).
However, I am having problems creating reports where there are related tables in a dataset.
The way it works with our existing solution is that I get a dataset (which contains several data tables) and point it to the report's datasource. That report expects those tables and I have defined table-relationships in the report which process and display the information correctly.
I'm not having as much luck with RDLC.
I can go into futher detail about how I'm creating the report, but let me just ask these general questions first:
1. Can I set a dataset containing multiple datatables equal to a property on an RDLC report and that RDLC report know how to treat and display the data?
2. Is there a better/smarter than this to get a field selection from my datasource (remember, this information is coming from a stored procedure so connecting directly to the database is not an option):
a. In code, populate dataset
b. In code, write dataset schema to xml (e.g. an xsd file)
c. In Visual Studio, add the XSD file to project
d. Use fields from XSD file to drag and drop fields on report
A fancy example would be nice too. I've googled like crazy the past couple of days and downloaded as many samples as I can find (including the ones on ftponline.com, gotreportviewer.com, "Tudor's WebLog", and several others). However, I have yet to find one that uses grouping and related datatables.
Thank you so much (if, for nothing else, reading this post )

I have a table set up in an SRSS report to display my data with subtotals. The data displays perfectly. What I can't seem to make happen, though, is simple display features (under lines above a subtotal, outlines of a group of boxes). If I try to use the line tool it tells me that it can't be placed in this part of the table, but from experiment I gather it can't be placed in ANY part of the table. Also, when I select a three column two row area (in my design) and attempt to apply a border style (hoping to put a border around the cells), the border applies internally as well.
Can SRSS provide this kind of formatting inside of a table?
Jim
Just curious -- is it at all possible to add lines and other formatting items within a table in a SRSS report?

I've followed all of the instructions in Donald Farmer's book to create a proxy to access my SSRS web service but keep getting the following error..."Type ReportingServices2005 is not defined"....on my Dim statement for the new ReportingServices2005.dll I created and all my methods (ListSubscriptions, etc.) are similarly flagged.
My brain is not yet .Net compliant so I probably screwed this up somewhere.
I executed the following....
wsdl /language:VB http://ssrs_servername/reportserver/reportservice.asmx
sn €“k "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Bin
s.snk"
vbc /target:library /out:ReportingServices2005.dll /keyfile:"C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Bin
s.snk" "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0BinReportingService.vb"
gacutil /if "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727ReportingServices2005.dll"
then I added a reference to the System.Web.Services to my project (script component) and added the import statement to the script.
Is there something I'm missing??

How do I design reports so they look good when viewed online?
Is there anyway for it to render nicely on a particular resolution or screen? Never done any web dev, so not sure if I am missing something.
At the moment I am just designing the report so it looks right on my box.
However by trying to maximise the space when viewed online, it means exporting to pdf ends up being a disaster.

Hi
What is the default collation SQL 2000 Server takes during installation on Windows 2000?
Can it be chosen during installtion of SQL 2000 or does it depend on my regional options and according them the SQL 2000 server default collation will be selected?
Why can it happen that the user datebases have collation Latin1_General_CI_AS and the tempdb has collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS?
I ran into problems as temporary data had to be compared residing in temp db's on tempdb and the result was a collation conflict!
In the BOL it says:
"When you install an instance of SQL Server, you can specify the default collation for that instance during setup"
but I had no window or dialog during installation of SQL2000 Personal Edition where I could select the collation.
How can I change default collation of SQL 2000 Server?
Anyone has some more informations?
Thanks

I have a db in SQL server 2000 developer edition. I am using Visual Studio 2005 standard, and also VWD Express. I would like to just access the database that is in SQL server 2000 so I can get on with developing the site, but VS2005 refuses to recognize the instance. It recognizes 2005 instances right away.The services are all running, the network protocols are enabled, uid's/pw all of that is correct. I am getting the "named pipes" error (the named pipes protocol is enabled).Any suggestions? I'd really rather just work with the db as-is in SQL 2000. But I can't get it to connect. I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db. So my web app is not finding the stored procs and won't run.Do I need to uninstall SQL 2005 from this box if I want to use SQL 2000?Thanks,--Donnie

Hello gurus:Hopefully someone can shed some light on some questions I have. I amtasked to build an application that will schedule and track tasks. Ifirmly believe in not reinventing the wheel however also feel thatcustomizing is certainly not out of the question.I am looking to build something in ASP (or .NET) that can allow anindividual to work "disconnected" from the network while stillaccessing a database (MSDE?) that will sync with SQL 2000 oncere-connected. I have built multiple db apps that are strictly webbased and consider myself somewhat knowledgeable (read.. dangereous)SQL/ASP dude. I understand that for a stand-alone client app I mayhave to use .NET and load the framewsork on the client in order to runthe dynamic pages for database updates. Here are my questions:1) Is there a way for SQL server to "replicate" its tables into aschema/data recognized by MSDE (i.e. generate the "mother ship" tablesand schema first, then use SQL Server to automatically create (export)the client MSDE tables)2) are there tools to manage MSDE so one can see what the heck is inthere? I understand Enterprise manager will not work in this regard.3) Are there any resources (documents, tutorials etc..) for datareplication (i.e. dbsync from MSDE up to MSSQL and vice-versa)4) Am I wasting my time doing this from scratch because there isalready something out there that does all this that is moderatelypriced and customizable?Thanks for your attention and consideration.Eric B
