Subject: Legal Question: Decompiling A DLL ?
Oct 11, 2007
Hey guys, I didn't know exactly where to post this, but I'm wondering what
the legal implications of decompiling a .DLL are ?
We are using SQL Reporting Services 2005 with the Excel Export option. The
problem is that our reports have a lot of hyperlinks on each page so we can
easly navigate all the reports, but when we go ahead and export the report,
all the hyperlinks get exported too; resulting in a file atleast 10x the size.
i.e we export a report and it results in a 20mb excel file, but once we
remove all the hyper links and save it again it drops down to a 500k file.
So I was wondering, what the legality was in decompiling the Excel
Export.DLL that comes with Reporting Services and removing the Hyperlink
export functionality ?
Thanks,
Raul

For a class I am taking, I have to write a SQL statement to return emails that show up in a table more than once. The schema for the table is:
Table: Users
Email - Varchar(75)
City - Varchar(75)
State - Char(2)
I have a proposed solution, but I am not sure it would work since there is no concrete implementation of this. The class is still doing basic SQL, so forgive my inexperience.
SELECT Email FROM Users WHERE (COUNT(Email) > 1)
Is this a valid solution? Thank you for any help

Hi.
I've been tasked with creating an installer that will either install SQL Express or connect to an existing SQL server.
Then I'm to run an .sql script to initialize a new database.
I'm using SSEUtil.exe as there will be no SQLCMD if the existing SQL server is on a remote machine.
Can I package SSEUtil.exe into my installer? Is this legal?
If not, is there a standard SQL Server client I can use to achieve this?
TIA,
lushdog

A - Must Declare variable @ZipEntry - error generates when I run the code below. If I hard code the "WHERE ZipCode = 72364" it works (display messed up but it works - don't know how to code in the line breaks yet). But when I try to pass in the value of a TextBox called txtZipEntry on the page I get this error. Am I not delcaring @ZipCode in the correct spot ?
Thank you,
public partial class ContractorResultsDisplay : System.Web.UI.Page{string ZipEntry;protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
ZipEntry = txtZipEntry.Text;SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["localhomeexpoConnectionString2"].ConnectionString);string sql = "Select [City], [StateCode], [AreaCode], [Latitude], [Longitude], [ZipCode] From [ZipCensus11202006] Where ZipCode > @ZipEntry";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, con);cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ZipEntry", ZipEntry);SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();da.Fill(ds, "ZipCodeRefs");StringBuilder htmlStr = new StringBuilder("");
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["ZipCodeRefs"].Rows){htmlStr.Append(dr["City"].ToString());}
ZipContent.Text = htmlStr.ToString();

My workplace uses SQL Server 2000 with both a dev server and a production server. I would like to install my copy of SQL Server 2005 Eeveloper Edition at work to use the client tools strictly with the dev server. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the legality of this or if they can point me to any documentation that I can make sense of before I look into doing this.
Thanks,
-Dave

While working in the report project in Visual Studio, I set my Report Layout to 14w x 8.5h with .25 margins on all sides, and the page size to be 13.5in (to take into account the margins). When I print from the report viewer control in Preview mode, the report prints as it should, in Landscape on Legal paper without me changing any settings.
When I deploy the same report to the report server, and print from there, the report prints in Landscape on Letter paper (which causes some columns to print on a second page).
Why is there a difference in the two environments? Is there something I'm missing?
The goal is for the users to be able to print the report correctly without having them change any print settings in the dialog.

Microsoft products that are doing well tend to have very strong communities around them, and I am starting to get a bit disappointed with SQL-CLR. This forum seems fairly light, the links int he FAQ are broken, and the official SQL-CLR blog has no update since 2006..
Taking all of that into account I am forced to wonder, Is this a dead subject?
I am not trying to say that the people in this forum are doing something wrong, nor am i claiming that no one uses SQL-CLR (i am a user, thats why im here). But I did want to get the opinion of the group here of where they think this concept stands.
I think SQL-CLR can really be a good tool in the chest for various scenarios. I am for one using it to have a generic SQL-CLR Stored Procedure that can analyze small sets of data and move it into various buckets depending on validation rules built into the code. So far its working very well, but I admit it has not yet hit production so only time will tell. (Performance is always a concern of mine)
Regards,
Dmitry.

I would like to include some information in the subject line of a report subscription email. Right now the default subject line is something like "@ReportName was executed at @ExecutionTime". is there a way to use one of my report parameters in the subject? I tried something like "Thank you for your order @OrderNum", but that did not work.
Thanks,

I am using a Foreach loop container to go thru all the files downloaded from the ftp site and I am assigning the file name of each file to a variable at the foreach loop level called filename. In the dataflow task inside the foreach loop container, I have a source script component that uses a flat file connection. The connection string of the flat file connection is set to the filename variable declared at the foreach loop level. However the script component has a error System.ArgumentException: Empty pathname is not legal.
Please let me know how to correct this? The connectionString property of the flat file connection is set to the complete filename including the path. Does a script component need to have a flat file name specified in the flat file connection that it is using? I need to have a script source component as the flat file I am reading from is not in any of the standard formats.
The flat file connection manager's connection string property is blanked out the moment I specify an Expression for the connection string. Is this a defect or is it expected behavior.
Any inputs appreciated.

I created a report subscription windows form to talk to SSRS 2000 web services API. Everything is fine except the email subject '@ReportName was executed at @ExecutionTime' is always in American Date format.
Is there a way to customize the date format on the variable @ExecutionTime on the email subject?
Any help would be appriciated.

I have the variable @Monthname defined as shown below:
(MONTH(getdate()) == 1 ? "January" : MONTH(getdate()) == 2 ? "February" : MONTH(getdate()) == 3 ? "March" :Â
 MONTH(getdate()) == 4 ? "April" : MONTH(getdate()) == 5 ? "May" : MONTH(getdate()) == 6 ? "June" :Â
 MONTH(getdate()) == 7 ? "July" : MONTH(getdate()) == 8 ? "August" : MONTH(getdate()) == 9 ? "September" :Â
 MONTH(getdate()) == 10 ? "October" : MONTH(getdate()) == 11 ? "November" : MONTH(getdate()) == 12? "December":"")
By itself, it is working fine. I am attempting to have the @SubjectLine variable display the below:
CA - TFL for the month of August 2015
I am using the expression below in the expression builder:
"CA - TFL for the month of " + @[User::MonthName] + Â (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR(GETDATE())
When evaluating the expression, I get the below (month is missing):
CA - TFL for the month of 2015

Hi,
I imagine this will be done through the use of expressions.
What I would like to do is this. When my package fails, it's set up to send an email using the Send Mail Task.
I would like to create a custom subject line that contains:
1.) Name of the package
2.) Name of the task that failed (if possible)
I am seriously wondering how I can do this.
Thanks much

are sqlclr stored proc sessions running in the same SQLOS execution model (Running, runnable and suspended status, Runnable Queue and Wait List) as other types of sessions and therefore ending up in the same queues, contending for very similar resources (except maybe for memory type because of MTL's role) etc?...or do they get treated in a very different way?

I would like to create a database that keeps track of our companies subject matter experts. I have roughed out some of the tables. I would appreciate any feedback on if this is the right approach and if there might be any issues when I start writting a front-end (probably VB 2005).
What makes this interesting (at least for me) is that a subject has an owner and at least 1 "expert", possibly up to 3. Here is what I am thinking for tables:
tblEmployee
EmployeeID (PK)
LastName
FirstName
etc......
tblSubject
SubjectID (PK)
Description
tblOwner
SubjectID (FK)
EmployeeID (FK)
tblExpert1
SubjectID (FK)
EmployeeID (FK)
tblExpert2
SubjectID (FK)
EmployeeID (FK)
tblExpert3
SubjectID (FK)
EmployeeID (FK)
Does this make sense? Would I run into any issues when trying to display this on a form in VB?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!

I'm consistently getting >10 minute render times in a matrix based report whose underlying query only takes 1-2 seconds to run in both RS's data tab and mgt studio. The bad render times occur in preview tab, Report Viewer and when requested from Report Manager. I believe most of the time being taken is RS's attempt to pivot and present the data.
I can run a homegrown query that pivots (with unknown number of cols) the data itself in under 4 seconds but would be concerned about mapping an unknown number of columns to a table region in RS.
The matrix I'm testing with is 67 columns across (just over 2 months of daily columns) and is supposed to be 207 rows long. There is no aggregation required by RS when it is pivoting the data because each intersection occurs at most one time in the query's result set. The number of data points actually being "bucketed" is around 13,800 values. Row headers consist of 3 columns.
RS is also cutting off the number of rows it is supposed to be showing. The number of rows cutoff seems to be 100% repeatable based on the date range chosen. RS doesnt tell me when it cuts off rows that should have been displayed. From what I can tell so far, it never cuts off columns.
The number of rows cut off seems consistent across designer's preview, report viewer and when requested thru report manager. The "run" command (exclamation icon in data tab) seems to always return the correct number of unpivoted rows, just as in mgt studio.
Are there known bugs and or limitations in RS's matrix data region feature? Are there some settings or workarounds that might make it work more to my liking?

On the subject of Data Warehouses, Data Cubes & OLAP….I would like to speak frankly about Data Warehouses, Data Cubes andOLAP (on-line analytical processing). Has it dawned on anyone elsethat these buzz words were created by some geek who decided to take astab at marketing? Knowing that to the backwoods manager who knowslittle of technology that new innovative names for old concepts wouldhelp to sale their products.I mean seriously, what is the story here? In a nut shell, and pleasestop me if you disagree, but isn’t a data warehouse simply adatabase? Can’t you do everything on a conventional databaselike SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 that you can do on these newproprietary Data Warehouse constructs? I mean who are they trying tofool?Take a look, for instance, at Data Cubes. Who hasn’t noticedthe striking similarity between data cubes and views used in all themore robust databases? Also, what about OLAP? OLAP is nothing morethan a report generator. There’s nothing you can do with thesemillion dollar price tagged Data Warehouse total solution packagesthat I can’t do with SQL Server, Oracle or DB2…for thatmatter Microsoft Access.As an example some sales people for Metadata Corporation has the VicePresident of I.T. in Nashville, for Healthspring, sold on their totalsolution data respository which is such a scam. All they had to dowas throw a couple of buzzwords at him and they have him hypnotized.Personally, I feel that these kinds of marketing practices undermineour industry. It helps to unravel what little standards orconsistency we have. What do you guys think?Stuart

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
Thank you!
Gary
