Suggestions For A Reporting System
Jul 23, 2005
Hi,
We will be developing a management reporting software for a bank. The
user will see reports that get updated in near real time( e.g. every 5
min), with data regarding transaction amounts, etc. across a number of
dimensions such as day, time, region, etc.
The dimensions will be hierarchical in nature. So a zone will have
states and a state will have cities.
The raw data has to be pulled from several different databases, such as
a DB for ATM transactions, another for home loan applications, etc.
It should be easy to add customized reports if a different view of the
data is desired.
Our clients suggest that we use a tool called Clementine developed by
SPSS. But we have the liberty to choose a different tool if that serves
our purpose.
Clementine seems to allow a data flow to be defined which might be of
use to pur project. Does anyone have any idea how this could be
different from SQL server's Data Transformation Services?
Any other thoughts regarding the approach to be taken, will be
appreciated.
Thanks
Yash

I want to create a web browser based MIS suite to use our data held onSQL 7. We have Dreamweaver and Crystal Reports available but I want toknow if these are suitable or if there are any recommendations forsomething I can pick up quickly.It will be simple reports based on complex queries (I can handle mostof this in SQL 7), don't need fancy graphs, just plain boringfinancial reports are what I need to produce.Obvious things I need to create are combo boxes and list boxes forselections. My background is more Delphi/VB and SQL than web basedstuff, so please let me know any recommendations or good places tostart looking.ThanksRyan

Hi guys... I need to do some statistical reporting on the answers to registration questions. The answers are stored in pipe-delimited varchar fields to allow for one-or-many answers to a single question... here's an example:
Q: What are your fav colors?
A: [checkbox list of colors]
Now the data is stored like this:
Reg001
-----------
red|blue|green|yellow
Now I need to determine how many people selected each individual answer, so like, how many people picked red, how many people picked yellow.... to report like this:
Red - 12
Blue - 23
Green - 15
Yellow - 9
What is the best, or suggested way, to go about splitting this data up and reporting on it? Can it be done in T-SQL, or will it need to be a combination of T-SQL and .Net language?
Thanks!

Folks:
Does anybody know how to modify the "report server system properties" for Reporting services.
I want to change the EnableIntegratedSecurity option to True and it is not allowing me through SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Thanks !

Is it possible to have single stored procedure which can return Weekly, Monthly, Quaterly and Yearly Report.
User input for Queries:
Weekly : Start Date & End Date
Monthly: Month & Year (Eg. Jan 2003, May 2004)
Quarterly: Quarter & Year (First Quarter 2003, ThirdQuarter 2004)
Yearly: Year
Currently I have 4 different Stored Procedure 1 for each reporting system.
I have seen that one can use CASE in Stored procedure.....
Pls give suggestion !!!

Thx to all who helped me for Stored Procedure previously
Here is what I have:
3 Drop Down Boxes:
1) List of property
2) Ticket Status
3) Tech Name
All 3 Drop boxes have default value of "All"
So, if all 3 drop boxes are "All" ie.
list of property = All
Ticket status = All
Tech Name = All
Query pulls up all records from database and displays it.
Lets say if I select Tech Name is XYZ then query should pull out all property, all ticket status by Tech XYZ.
Now my previous developer has if else case and he has total 9 query for doing all this. He has used SQL along with C# code.
I am trying to modify this if-else and convert it into Stored Procedure. Is there a way I can handle all with 1 stored procedure ?
Previous Reporting works like charm........

Hiya,
I have a database on a SQL Server 2000 (sp3a) installation. For some reason it's reporting time that is 7 hours ahead of the system time.
The application is on one server the DB is on a shared production server. The app server and the DB server are reporting the same system time and are using a network time server. All the other db's on the shared production db server are reporting time correctly.
My questions:
Is there a T-SQL query to use to see what the time/timezone is for that database?
Is there a T-SQL query I can use to set the db time (not the system time)?
Anyone have any other suggestions as to what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!

We are using Reporting Services 2000.
The print button that is present in the browser is working just fine for some users.
But some users are complaining that on clicking the print button their system restarts.
Some other users are also getting the error "An error occurred during printing. (0x80004005)"
However on closing the browser and opening the report in it again this issue is resolved.
So, the main concern is "Restart of the machine on click of the PRINT icon in reports viewed in some application browser."
Please help!!

I only found http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=389835&SiteID=17 regarding this error message and it was of no help to me.

I'm not a developer, so I'm pretty lost why it behaves like this on one server and not the other. Checked Aspnet.config-file and they are the same. Found this
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=911816
that described that the exception handling was different between the .NET-versions, but since this works on one of the servers, it shouldn't be related, or could it? Tried changing the setting in method 2, but with the same behaviour. Any ideas?
Best regards

during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....

I am trying to understand an environment and provide a solution to Banking system so that they can enter user data (transactions) online and at the same time we can provide users online reporting as well. Using same sql server or server/hardware on other machine.
There are so many branches/customers/ATM machines accessing online data as well as updating their balances. I want to understand how can we provide online reporting. Through replication, transaction log backup, log shipping or what other solution is available. I need to understand this and provide a solution that is already implemented running/successfully. Need some proposals and their pros and cons. cost and maintenance are the constraints with the real time reporting on live system/database.

I have created a windows library control that accesses a local sql database
I tried the following strings for connecting
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Trusted_Connection = true"
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Integrated Security=SSPI"
I am not running the webpage in a virtual directory but in
C:Inetpubwwwrootusercontrol
and I have a simple index.html that tries to read from an sql db but throws
the error
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.PermissionSet.Demand()
at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.DemandPermission()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.PermissionDemand()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionFactory.PermissionDemand(DbConnection outerConnection)
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection,
etc etc
The action that failed was:
Demand
The type of the first permission that failed was:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
Trusted
I looked into the .net config utility but it says unrestricted and I tried adding it to the trusted internet zones in ie options security
I think that a windows form connecting to a sql database running in a webpage should be simple
to configure what am I missing?

We have an existing SSRS server, and have just created a new child domain. We'll be migrating users from the parent to the child, and want to add the users of that new domain with access to SSRS. In the parent domain they are able to access, but after migration with the child domain account, they cannot.
I have added the group CHILDDomain Users with a system user role on SSRS, and PARENTDomain Users was already there.
Is there any additional step I should/could take to get this active?

I am requesting suggestions to solve my problem.
Background: We are changing the way we pay commissions to our rep groups. We used to pay when the order was placed, now we want to pay when the invoice is paid.
Problem: The commision information is currently stored in the customer order, not in the invoice. These orders get deleted a couple weeks after the order was completed (shipped).
I want to create another, rather dynamic, table/structure that will store the order number and the commission percentage.
This info in this table should:
Be deleted: if the order has been deleted and the invoice either does not exist or was payed some period of time ago (maybe 6 months)
Be updated: if the customer order has been updated (i.e. the commission was changed)
Be inserted: if the order exists but the order number is not in the new table.
That is it in a nutshell.
Thanks,
Brian

Hello all!
I have this simple sp.
SELECT VisName
FROM tblVis
WHERE (VisID = 1)
Now I have lets say VISID 1 to 50. I'm using this SP to change the text on a button. Now I have 50 buttons. So I run this SP, then I run this in my vb.net code
Code Snippet
Dim constr As New SqlConnection(PVDBConn)
Try
'Variable to hold the results
Dim results As String = String.Empty
cmdUpd = New SqlCommand("SelVis1Name", constr)
cmdUpd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
constr.Open()
'Set results to the value returned from ExecuteScalar()
results = CType(cmdUpd.ExecuteScalar(), String)
constr.Close()
'Set our buttons text to that value
Button1.Text = results
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try
At any time, when I start my program, I may need to label 10 buttons, or up to 50. Now I will have this number in a text file. Can I grab that number from a text file, and pass it into a SP?
And can I write this SP only once, to work for more than one label per time. Or do I have to write this sp 50 times?
TIA!

I have a database that will be used by two or more organizations. I would like to use pass phrase encryption to encrypt a couple of columns.
I'm looking for suggestions on how I might set up the db to let the organization change the pass phrase that is used for their encryption?
I don't really want to hard code it into stored procedures or select statements with parameters. I will be using SSL if that should make a difference with what you suggest.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you

I have two stored procedures (l'll call them P1 & P2). P1, after a lot of processing, creates a temporary table that is used by P2 after an "exec P1" is done. I've separated the logic into two stored procedures because, ultimately, other sprocs will need the output of P1.
I get an error if I use #tempTable as the output table in P1 because it no longer exists after P1 finishes. ##tempTable works, but I'm concerned about concurrency issues. Any suggestions on what construct(s) I should be using?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server but have been doing database programming since last 3 years. I recently attended MOC (Microsfot Official Curriculum) training on SQL Server and have started to use at my company. I am comfortable with SQL but want to dig deeper into T-SQL side. I searched on the Internet but not many good books available in that either they are ranked very low or are very old i.e. written around 1999/2000 or covers SQL Server 2000 as a whole. Can anybody suggest me any T-SQL book which was written recently and focuses purely or majorly on T-SQL?
Thanks to all for your time and advice in advance.

I'm looking for some help on how i should index this table.
current table has about 500k records in it.
the fields in the table are:
member_num (varchar(12), not null)
first_name (varchar(20), null)
last_name (varchar(20), null)
ssn (varchar(50), null)
address1 (nvarchar(200), null)
address2 (nvarchar(200), null)
city (nvarchar(200), null)
state (nvarchar(200), null)
zip (nvarchar(100), null)
phone1 (nvarchar(50), null)
all of the fields are searchable through an asp.net webform.
my first stab at this consisted of creating a clustered index on member_num and then creating a separate index for each of the remaining fields.

What I have.
I have a spreadsheet that is used in 4 or more locations on a daily basis by 1-3 ppl per locations. The spreadsheet is used to gather Quality Control information. So everyday there are a couple of spreadsheets from each system that is used to generate weekly and monthly reports. This is becoming to much work and I would like to automate the process.
What I have access to.
I currently run a Sharepoint 2007 Server for all our collaboration and document needs.
I also have the ability to setup any sql server.
What I want.
I want the QC techs in each system to be able to upload the data at the end of each day and be done with it. This way they do not have email or do a weekly report.
I would prefer to use Sharepoint and create reports weekly and monthly that can be pulled just by going to a site.
I'm knowledgeable in Sharepoint and Excel. I have some skills in VBA. I haven't dealt with SQL any, but willing to learn.
Also I'm knowledgeable in Microsoft Access as well.
Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi Guys,
Well, as a VB/VBA applications developer I'm not well prepared for this, but it looks like I will be riding herd on a production SQL Server.
TSQL I know well enough to get along, but where can I get a fast fix on all the logins, security, and process management info? Today we had a DTS package crash overnight and it took me forever to figure out that it had left half a dozen tables locked. (Note that the scripts for the DTS package are being re-written as we speak with use of transactions and NOLOCK.) Meanwhile tech support was handling a whole mess of grumpy users.
Are there any books you would recommend as resources/references? Is there a particular author who is good at writing the stuff you really need to know in English that can be read by a mere mortal like I? I am fond of the Microsoft resources/help files but I'd like to have somthing that holds highlighter and post-it flags a bit better. Not to mention something that focuses more on the beast as a whole rather than the minutia at length.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a set of tables with about the same structure
dataID, recordID, 15 other columns
dataID is unique but is never referenced in queries
recordID is one of the most referenced columns but only has a cardinality of about 30%
The current structure has a clustered PK on (dataID,recordID)
Someone suggested reversing the clustered PK to (recordID,dataID) because of the number of references to recordID but that didn't seem to boost performance any
After staring at this for a while I came up with something but I'd like some advice whether it makes sense or not.
create a non-clustered PK on dataID
create a non-unique clustered index on recordID
Let me know if any other information is needed. Thanks

I'm trying to count the number of records in 'game_dates' where thecolumns home_team_id or away_team_id have the same value. E.g., iwant to know the number of records for each team_id where team_id ishome_team_id or away_team_id.I'm doing this in two separate select statements now. Example:SELECT count(home_team_id),home_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY home_team_idandSELECT count(away_team_id),away_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY away_team_idand then combining the results. Is there anyway to combine these toqueries into one query? ...and have a single result set returned withtwo columns (count,team_id)?Thanks,Glenn

The Background:
I have a SQL Serever with more than 10 million records.
I have to update/delete/insert records on a daily basis.
I am using the standard edition of SQL Server.
The tables are constantly having data inserted into them and the server has different jobs running all day long.
My Problem:
I cannot create index on my database and the database is getting really slow as each month/year passes.
Any/All suggestions are welcomed.

Hi All,
Need some suggestions for senior management for DR Purposes:
Background:
WSS/MOSS2007 is being used as a Document Management solution.
17 Servers geographically dispersed around the UK. Each server runs WSS 3, SQL Server 2005 and IIS. Each server is linked into a PiP cloud via 2MB MPLS.
At each location; We are looking at 20 core databases; each pre-sized to 10GB. If I take one site as an example, the previous nights backup totalled 135GB.
The company has taken a centralised view on backup's, so SQL Server Data and Log files are replicated using Double-Take to a central location where by the files are taken onto tape daily (Full backup of all files).
As a precaution, I take a Full SQL Server backup daily and also Tran Logs every 4 hours locally and keep it there for 2 days; however if the site goes boom I loose those, so for this purpose; please forget they exist.
As I expect; when I restore the mdf and ldf files from tape, I will get errors when I attach those files into SQL Server for transactional inconsistencies which I'm well aware of.
Other options I've considered are:
1) DB Mirroring. Not a bad option, but still have to get the DB to the Mirror Server in the first place. Also DB Mirroring is not recommended for more than 10 mirrored databases.
2) Log Shipping. Same issue as above; Have to get the data here in the first place. Then once Log Shipping is setup; if I have a failure; I need to start the whole lot off again.
3) Transactional Replication. Issue is with the initial replication getting the data from A to B, then if I need to use it in a DR situation; I will get issues saying this table is being used for replication. This can be worked around, but it's a not a quick process...
4) 3rd Party Backup Compression. E.G. Litespeed; Redgate SQL Backup, etc. Good; Tests have shown a 42% compression for us, however if I refer to the earlier example of 135GB, this compresses to 81GB. Throw in the theoretical max for a 2MB link of 19GB / 24 Hours, this would take 4 Days to copy.
Other thoughts I've come up with are:
A) Split the tables into different file groups; not sure how easy this would be as the DB's and Tables already exist.
B) Full/Diff/Tran. Still have the issue of scheduling the full backup over the weekend and taking 4 days to get here.
C) Local Tape Backups. Issue is relying on someone to change the tape on a daily basis. It's not centrally managed and how do we restore in a DR situation ?
Could someone give me some pointers please?
Thanks

Hi folks, I have a very typical database for an ASP.net application. There is a table which will contain a hierarchical data..much like files-folders structure of a file system.
But we know that the table will be a giant one in production. There will be a huge collection of data need to persist in it. we are already facing some performance problem with some queries during the QA/test machine.
Currently there is a table which is keeping all file and folder information and another table maintaing their hierarchy relation using two column namely, parentID and childID.
My first question is, would it be better to keep this hierarchy relation into the same table rather using a different one? (much like managerID and empID in AdventureWorks sample?)
My Second question, what is the best way to design this kind of structure to get the highest performance benifit?
All kind of thoughts will be appreciated much! thanks

I am working with an application currently that stores the majority of its data in the following schema.
factid1 int,
factid2 int,
factid3 int,
factid4 int,
Value decimal 14,4
To extract data from this table we are using a 4 table join to each of the factid's
Our where clause in this query is based on (where factid1 = something)
So we have a composite clustered index led by factid1.
Our plan is to reduce the size of this table by introducing the kind of schema, we would like to introduce this to keep the table size to a minimum and hopefully increase the performance of our extracts from this table.
factid4 int
intersectid int
value decimal 14,4
And then the intersect table with fact2,fact2,fact3 combinations
factid1 int
factid2 int
factid3 int
intersectid
This kind of schema reduces the size of this table substantially but performance of our extract is very poor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on schemas that will give us high performance?
Or does anyone think that the original schema will outperform any alternative schema.

Greetings all,
I'm a developer tasked with securing up a SQL Server 2005 SP2 database. I'm not exactly a DBA but I'm giving it my best shot. I was hoping someone could offer some suggestions/tips on how I could approach this task. The amount of documentation on this type of thing is somewhat overwhelming. I'm a little pressed for time and was hoping someone could offer some help. Maybe even provide some feedback as if I'm in the "weeds" or not.
Ok, here's the deal...
At the moment I am using Windows authentication. From what I have read this is the preferred method over SQL authentication. I'd like to continue using this approach if possible.
The database can be has 3 principals
1. ASP.NET (Network Service on Windows Server 2003)
2. Windows Service running on the host server
3. A Data Access Layer assembly running on some other server
All the principals access the db using stored procedures only. Each uses a subset of all the stored procedures, some of them overlap.
My initial though was this:
For the ASP.NET I would perform the following:
1. sp_grantlogin [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]
2. sp_grantdbaccess [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]
3. Grant Execute on [For each sproc used] to [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE]
For The Windows Service and the Data Access Layer principal, I was thinking something like this:
1. Create a separate windows login for each principal
2. Create a db login for each principal login From Windows
3. Grant execute on each of the sprocs used for each role
Question: How do I Deny Select, Insert, Update and Delete privs for all tables regardless of the principal (public user)?
Again, any help and or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thank!
