T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Address Checking Between Sources - Identify Missing Element
Sep 9, 2014
I have written a simple routine to do some address checking between sources. The business owner wanted the check done to the address as a whole and to report the address' that did not return a match. The comparison works perfectly fine.
Well, now the customer has come back wanting to know what element(s) of the address make the match fail
You can see that we are building the address by sticking the 5 columns together with a space in between to create a single string. We are then doing the same thing with the other source data and simply comparing the string. This worked perfectly and was nice and simple... until the customer decided he wanted to see the element(s) causing the issue.
For example, let's say there is an address of '123 Main ST Dallas Texas United States' in one source, but it's '123 Main Dallas Texas United States' in the other. The customer wants to know that it is the road type (ST) that caused the mismatch.
Now, I wrote a bunch of queries to try and single out each element in order to determine if it is the one causing the issue or not. It seems to work partially, but I don't believe it is the best approach and it doesn't work if more than one column is the culprit.
I am getting setup problems with Reporting Services 2005.
When I try to connect through SQL Server Management Studio, the browser in the connect dialog can see the Reporting Services 2005 instance, but when I try to connect, I get an error dialog with the message, "The Report Services instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
I manually setup ReportServer and ReportManageer virtual directories in IIS to point to the corresponding directories within the Reporting Services installation. Was I supposed to do this manually? Was the installer supposed to set this up?
Anyway, when I browse to http://localhost/ReportServer/ I get:
* The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information. (rsServerConfigurationError) o Access to the path 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4Reporting ServicesReportServerRSReportServer.config' is denied.
When I browse to http://localhost/ReportManager/ I get:
An error occurred while parsing the configuration file. The ReportServerVirtualDirectory element is missing.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix?
Configuration: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition on Microsoft Cluster. Machines named Node1, Node2 and NodeV (Virtual Node). Best practices require SSRS be deployeed on an IIS6.0 server. Reporting services was installed on the Web1 machine and pointing back to the database on the NodeV platform. Everything appears to run fine in Reporting Services. However, when I use the ReportViewer control from within a webpage, the basic control appears along with the message "root element is missing". Using the same code, I point the ReportViewer control to a different server Web2 where Sql server standard, IIS and RS are installed and the report renders properly. What am I missing in the configuration of the Web1 box as far as IIS or SSRS are concerned?
I would like to display the most recent seasonal address on my report. Here is the scenario,
I can search the SSMS and identify all available addresses. the recent sometimes appear at the top, in middle or at the bottom of the address list.I used a stored PROC to and a tempdb to find the initial search of all the addressesThen I used top 1 to select the address that I'm looking for. For situation where I have multiple addresses, is there a way to identify the latest address using FIRST and date commands.
Hello, I use a XML Data flow item transformation in SSIS (XML Source). Here is an example of the input of xml file content:<extract date="2007-12-05"> <counters> <counter category="dispatcher" name="server1"> <runtime>6</runtime> <queue>3</queue> <maxrequest>8</maxrequest> <color>blue</color> <host> <name>svo2555</name> <path>\dispatcher</path> <lastaccessed>2007-02-03</lastaccessed> </host> </counter> <counter category="gateway" name="server1"> <runtime>1</runtime> <queue>10</queue> <maxrequest>10</maxrequest> <color>purple</color> <host> <name>svo2555</name> <path>\gateway</path> <lastaccessed>2007-02-03</lastaccessed> </host> </counter> </counters></extract> How do I catch the extract date in the transformation? SSIS only shows me the <counters> element and not the <extract> one. Why? Is there a way to get it?Regards,
This error comes up in the print preview and nothing prints.
We are using VS-2005, SQL 2005 and SSRS 2005.
We had the same problem yesterday , so we have reinstalled IIS, .Net Framework 2.0 and Reporting Services, then reconfigured RS security, uploaded all the reports and enabled remote errors. After doing everything this error was gone and we were operating pretty fine.
Suddenly just we started getting the same annoying message."ROOT ELEMENT MISSING" from Report Server and from Report Manager we have " For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method. "
I could see the preview of my report without any problem. But when I deploy on a sever and select a parameter I m getting following error €œOne or more data sources is missing credentials€? My report contains single value parameters and a dependence parameter. I think this error occur bcos of that dependence parameter. If I change single value parameter as multivalve parameters it is working fine without any error. And also if I make dependence parameter as my first parameter it is working fine Is it a bug in sp2?????? Or Can v solve this problem???
Trying to use LIKE / NOT LIKE to identify values that contain any alphanumeric characters outside of A-Z e.g £%$^&*_-{[@ etc etc
The field should contain only values between A-G with a numberic e.g ABCD1234567... but some rows have characters such as above, some have spaces (weeps) , and some have letters outside the A-G range ....
I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.
I'm trying to strip out the First & Last Name from an Email Address. The email address is formatted as "FirstName.LastName@emailaddress.com" but sometimes a middle initial is used (ex: "First.M.Last@emailaddress.com").
I can locate the '@' sign and the first '.' period(from left to right) but need to find the first '.' from the left of the '@' sign.
I'm doing this in a view.
Here's some sample data and what I've tried:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1 (EmailAddr VARCHAR(255)) INSERT INTO dbo.Table1 (EmailAddr) SELECT 'Andy.Smith@gmaddr.com' UNION ALL SELECT 'Betty.Lee-Jones@gmaddr.com'
How to identify different fields with in a group of records?
Example: create table #test (ID int, Text varchar(10)) insert into #test select 1, 'ab' union all select 1, 'ab'
[Code] ...
I want to show additional field as Matched as ID 1 has same Text field on both the records, and for the ID 2 I want to show Unmatched as the Text fields are different but with the same ID.
Is it possible to check for Active Directory group.. ie see if the user running the Stored Proc, is in a specific Active Directory Group? Or if I set up Login's using Active Directory, can I get the Login that way... or will it give me the user's account?
this is sanjeev, i have SSIS package, using my c# program i want to add one execute package task to this package's sequence container.
it is creating the new package with out any probelm. but when i opened the package and try to move the newly created exeute package task it is giving the following error.
the element cannot be found in a collection. this error happens when you try to retrieve an element from a collection on a container during the execution of the package
creating the missing records in a date/time range.
However, I need to return different groups for each span of records.
here's some data....
aaa1 aaa7 bbb2 bbb5 bbb6
The numbers are the hour of the day.
I need to return
aaa 0 0 aaa 1 1 aaa 2 0 aaa 3 0 ... bbb 0 0 bbb 1 0 bbb 2 1 ... and so on.
I've got a numbers table and I can left join with it but I just get nulls for the missing hours instead of having it as above.....I can't think of a way of repeating the groups for each of the 'missing' hours - other than creating a length insert statement to fill in the gaps....unless that is the only way of doing it.

Why does XML Source in MS VS 2005 Integration Services Data Flow Sources XML Source not pick up the root element?
The problem is the following example: <root createddate="2008-01-01"> <elements> ... </elements </root>
The XML Source picks up everything after the first element which is the root element but it does not seam to pick up the root element where there is a need for the createddate attribute.
Is there a soultion for this problem or a workaround?

I have created 2 packages in BIDS, these are both working fine. I am trying to deploy to the server using the Package installation wizard, but I am stopped by an error stating "Could not save package" and "Element not found".
I use an XML source to integrate an XML file into my db. My problem is that in my XML source component, the global element of my XML file does not appear in the Input/Output (The XSD file was generated using the same component). This global element contains attribute which I want to integrate in a table.
RDL/SRS - Is there a way to tag a reference on a data element?
For example, let€™s say that each data element in column 5 is the result of some equation applied to the elements in columns 1 through 4. The field in column 6 is a function applied to the resulting value from column 5. Is there a way to tag a reference on the column 5 data elements, so they can be referenced from column 6 without reapplying the whole function used to derive column 5 in the first place?

A branching element is critical to any process flow. Currently, as far as I know, there;s only a Conditional Split Data Flow Element. There is no direct way I can branch out in a control flow.
In some cases, I could branch by using a conditional operator ?: to either create a dynamic sql string for each patch, or a package name for a Package Execution task and so on.
This approach is not always good enough.
Are there others out there who want a Conditional Control Flow element?
