Hi all,
I need a good t-sql script that will create a space usage and size report for all databases on server. Does anyone have a good t-sql script or know where I can run a report to gather details on database size, table size, index size and usage report? I know how to use sp_space_use_db but not to run against 200 databases on server for sql server 2000. Thanks.
I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example Test String ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space ? Test String .
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with ?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing  ? instead of space and <Pre>? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.
Hello ,
I wanted to know on what basis the disk space allocation for the databases is planned . Suppose if we plan 60 GB for data files ( mdf )for a given database then what should be the space allocation for the log files ( ldf ) and the tempdb ( both mdf and ldf files ).
Is there any thumb rule or any defined ratio for the same ?
Thanks
Hi There
As part of monitoring i want to hourly check the data file percentage used for each database, to monitor growth and know in advance when a data file will be full.
However i do not want to write a job for ever single database , this instance may have up to 100 databases that = 100 jobs.
So i want to write a job that checks the percentage space used for all databases.
My first dilema is that i cannot loop through databases dynamically, by that i mean if i use a cursor that loops through database names, and i dynamically build sql the say 'USE @DBNAME' and execute it the cursor context stays local you do not actually change database context.
So how do i loop though databases, i have found
sp_msforeachdb, however this is undocumented in BOL.
Secondly how do i check the percentage of space used for the data file or files for a database, i could use DBCC SHOWFILESTATS, however this is also not documented in BOL.
Obviously i would rather use documented methods.
So bottom line what tsql could i use to check the percentage of file space use for all databases?
Thanx
We are using SSRS 2005.We designed one report.This report contains Table and chart controls .
When Table is hidden,chart only is visible, this chart is going to show only on last page.
There is a white space in top of the chart while hiding the table control.
Consider for an Example Report one tables and one chart .
We want to show only chart,So we made Table's visible property is false.
Total Number of pages is five and table has only four pages and chart has only one page that is in last page.
Now the report showing Four pages are empty with header and footer and last page have a chart with header and footer.
We tried putting the whole table inside a list and gave the visibility property,
but the table inside a list shows the same empty pages
Any suggestions how to avoid the empty pages?
Thanks

I am hoping there is either a quick fix within SQL reporting services or a 3rd party tool for SQL reporting services that will fix my error. If not, we will be forced to go back to Crystal Reports.
I have a large report, that per each record prints between 3 and 5 pages of information. It is laid out like an MS Word document (as that is what is needed to send off to the client), so it is in standard letter style with the text growing down vertically.
I have about 10 large text (SQL Server Text field types) fields on this report. The report itself was built using the SQL Reporting Services table tool, so I could correclty group the information into the same record and also to keep the needed specific report formatting.
Everything looks GREAT, except for large white space in the report. The cause is that each row on the SQL Reporting Services table contains a field of data. Well, in some instances there is too much text to fit on the current page of the report (in some cases as much as 3/4 a page of paper), so instead of starting to print on the page and then continuing to print on to the next page, the data will skip the page and start at the top of the next page.
This will leave large white spaces in my report. In one instance I have a Text field that with the correct formatting is larger than a page. So the report prints on 1/4 of page 2, is blank for remander 3/4 of a page 2, and then starts printing the large text field on the following page (page 3). So 3/4 of a page in my report is left empty.
Is there a work around for this, or a 3rd party tool that can be purchased to allow for this? I have not found a setting or a way to keep the table rows together as there is in Crystal Reports.
Thank you for your help!

I have the t-sql script that generates database report of space used for 200 databases on MS SQL Server 2000. How can I dump the contents of this report to an Excel spreadsheet and/or a Web page html file?
-- Space Usage report for MS SQL Server 2000 databases
USE MASTER;
GO
EXEC sp_msforeachdb @command1="use [?] exec sp_spaceused"

I want to send a status report for disk space such as :
Server NameĀ
Drive | Total diskĀ spaceĀ | free space | used in % Ā
I want do this for multiple server in one SSRS report or HTML formatĀ
I have a main report and a subreport. If the subreport doesn't have any data then I hide it, but the main report still shows the white space of where the subreport would show up if it had data. So how can I get rid of the extra white space in the main report?
Thanks,

Hello
I have created a report that works how I want it in the visual studio 2003 designer. I have deployed it to our test box (sql server 2k, reporting services with sp2) and when we preview the report, there is a giant white space between the graph in the report and the matrix object below it. This white space was not in the designer. It only shows when previewing the report. If you print from the report manager, it does not print the white space.
Is there a way to remove it from the report manager when the report is previewed? I am sure users will complain when they see this.
Thanks.

I build a tablix A in SSRS, which containsĀ a tablix BĀ and a textbox C. When the report is exported to word, Ā I found that there is white space betweenĀ the tablix B and textbox C if the row ofĀ tablix B is spilled over to next page.
If I export the report to PDF,Ā the white spaceĀ issue is gone.
I have two grids in two different pages. In that one grid have more number of columns compared another grid. In this case report takes width of theĀ firstĀ grid which has more no of columns. So empty sapce in right side of the report is there for second grid. Based on the grid size reprt width should be there. How to avoid empty space in this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedA space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
Thanks in advance.
I'm fairly new to reporting services but need some help ASAP. I am trying to
run the same report on a different database on the same server. I tried
using a linked report but that didn't seem to allow me to change the data
source. I will have multiple databases on the same server with the same
metadata but different data. I'd like to be able to manage one report
version.
Any suggestions?
Hello. First of all sorry for my enlgish (I'm from Spain).
I have a report server with a lot of reports, all reports have a shared datasource. I have two databases, and I want to use my reports with both databases, and I don't want to save connection string in each report.
I'm using ASP.NET and RerportViewer to render reports.
Can I select shared datasource dinamically? Must I create another report server?
Anybody can help me?
Thanks.
I'm working with the SQL Report Viewer in VS2k5. In the Data tab, where the Dataset drop down list is, I click the "..." to edit the dataset. I am currently using the following for the datasource...
Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName
In one database, I store an employee ID number. I need to access a different database on a different server to reference the employee ID and pull the employee's name. Is there a way to specify two different databases on two different servers in the connection string above?
Thanks!
Hi, I am a beginner of Reporting Service. I am trying to create a report using multiple databses. For example, I want to create a report called RevenueByCustomer, so I need to get data from the Customer Table of CRM database, which contains customer information, and I also need to get data from Transaction table of Sales database, which contains all the revenue information. In order to get data from both database, I have created two dataset. One is Customer dataset, which get all required customer data from CRM database, and the other is Revenue dataset, which gets data from Sales database, they used seperate datasource (because each datasource only contains one database connection). Now my problem is how can I make them be displayed in one report ? It seems to be like a Master-Detail report, I need to sum up all trasactions for a particular customer and also need to display the customer name with each TotalAmount, but how can I make these two dataset can be merged together or used an extra query to do it?
Please help me, thanks a lot
This Query below is used to calculate the total amount for each customer in Revenue dataset:
SELECT CustomerID, sum(TotalAmount - TotalTaxAmount) AS TotalExcTax, sum(TotalAmount) AS TotalIncTax
FROM TransactionMaster
WHERE (Updated >= @Start) AND (Updated <= @End)
Group By CustomerID
the other one here is used to get customer code and name in Customer dataset:
SELECT ID, Code, Name
FROM Customer
I have two database:
FoxPro database - contains client info (name, address)
SQL Server database - contains appointmetns, orders, jobs etc.
How can I create reports using both databases?
Thank you
My application uses 2 databases from 2 different server. When i create a report model in business intellegence development studio I can only create 1 datasource for each database, and 1 datasource view for each datasource. Then when I create a new report, I can only use one datasource.
Is it possible that my report can be built on more than one databases?
thanks in advance
I am looking for something that can detect unauthorized access to our databases. Something that can be used in a 10+ sql server environment.

I'm new to SSRS. I've installed SQL Server 2014 on my Windows 7 machine and logged in web interface at localhost/Reports, created data source with ODBC driver connecting to my PostgreSQL database, I've selected "Credentials stored securely in the report server" and provided login and password. Now I wanted to create some test report. So I clicked on Report Builder which launched a desktop application (not ideal I must say) where I tried to click through a wizard to create some report.
I tried table wizard, selected "Create a dataset" and selected my data source. It asked me to provide password again and then I got following error:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Even though test connection works just fine, even from that very same window.
So my questions are:
How do I fix that issue so I could create reports using SSRS and my PostgreSQL database?How do I embed the user/password into connection so users don't have to re-enter the password? The reason is, I want to create data source through SSRS API from my own application and I don't want to have users be bothered with passwords
Just to clarify - I tried creating ODBC data source through admin tools in Control pannel and gave it the same name but it didn't work, both SQL Server and PostgreSQL are installed on the same machine.Ā
Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

How do we suppress multiple spaces to a single space in T-SQL
E.G.
Field: FullName
e.g.
WOMENS HEALTH RIVER VALLEY
JOHN FAMILY MED GROUP
HERSH STWEART P.
PARK HEIGHTS MEDICAL CENTER
KOPP WHITEFIELD E
The o/p wanted is
HERSH STWEART P.
Thank you.
Below query tells us if guest user is enabled or disabled in a particular database
SELECT dp.name, CASE perms.class WHEN 0 THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END AS 'Enabled'
FROM sys.database_principals dp
LEFT JOIN (SELECT grantee_principal_id, class FROM sys.database_permissions
WHERE class = 0 AND type = 'CO' AND state = 'G') AS perms
ON dp.principal_id = perms.grantee_principal_id
WHERE dp.name = 'guest';
Do we have a query which can also add the database name to above query output? The output must have columns with data against Name,Enabled,Database name

Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

SQL server 2005 express reporting problem.
error message:
This feature "remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of reporting service
I got this error message when I try to connect to database hosted in another PC running SQL server 2000.
Is it true that SQlL server Express can only use Local Database Engine to host the database?
