I was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best.
Thanks!
My dillema is this.
I have a table with the simplified sturcture like this:
Teacher
TeacherID

Etc...
YearlyTeacherRecord
TeacherID
Year
Phone Number
blah

I need a list of teachers with their most recent yearly teacher record. How would I do that
I know this a simple question but I cannot find an example of using the ReportExecutionService to render a report that doesn't take any parameters. Can somebody provide and example?

Each property is the same as each column in the dataset.I want to fill the Generic List with the data from my DataSet.How can I do this?Thanks,Miguel
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Thank you

We have a user who uses Business Objects to run queries on the database. They are reporting that the query can lock the database up and that they were told at a conference that there is a setting which can aleviate this problem, but they are not sure if it is in SQL Server or Business Objects.
Anyone got any idea what they are talking about?

Have to build DR solution and subj is a part of it.
Maybe some one has done it already€¦ share the experience please.
Dr in my case will between 2 different data centers, replication is san 2 san so on other side I have a warm standby that does not see san disks and will become active if and only if the primary data center is down, windows domain is the same, ip addresses, names of the servers are different. How a cluster will behave is interesting as well (I mean CE is on cluster, not geo distributed cluster).
I have CE90. I€™m talking to their tech support that seems to be outsourced, they didn€™t really produce in 5 days anything more then a part of their own documentation in pdf format for CE version I do not use J€¦
So I€™m wondering maybe somebody had to walk similar path already€¦
We have decided to use business objects in our new application, which seems to be working well, since they can be used as a binding source for grids, etc.
I am trying to evaluate whether SSIS is a practical solution for our ETL requirements. The problem is, I can't find any examples or references, or even the slightest hint that anyone is using them with business objects. Any attempts to search yield a ton of results which are based on a commercial product called "Business Objects" rather than the design pattern.
It is currently a requirement of our development team that all data access must be done via business objects, rather than communicating directly with the database.
Can anyone provide some more information (besides just suggesting I write a custom connection manager)? Is there anyone who has actually made SSIS work with business objects?
Thanks, Richard

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I want to make a report where multiple users can use the same report to connect to their databases and then print out the report with information from those databases. Both databases have the exact same tables and fields but the data that is in them is different. However, I have only been able to figure out how to connect the report to one specific database, and therefore the report always prints out information from that database instead of the user specified one. So let's say I want my report to print out the name that is in the database field Name for any database I connect to, how would I do this?

I upgraded my DB2 client from v8 (32 bit) to v9 (64 bit) and the IBM OLE DB DB2 Driver is not showing up in the data source list in Import and Export Wizard. I need to use the IBM OLE DB Driver because the Microsoft driver doesn't work (db2 login).
Can anyone tell me how to add the IBM OLE DB Driver into the list. Is is a PATH/CLASSPATH issue??

I have no idea whats wrong but when I click on the bulleted list , the pnlClientChosen becomes visible (which contains the data gridview); but there is no gridview available. There isn't even column names. One thing that struck me as odd is when I created the datasource and I created the Where statement, when I selected control as ""Where Dem_ID = a control" and I set the control to bulletedlist1, there were three listings for bulletedlist1. In fact, there were three listings for each control on this page.

I kow for a solid comparison between using datareaders and datasets I will have to perform that myself. But for now I will be utilizing datasets...
What I am doing is currently utilizing assemblies to create my datasets ahead of time. I will eventually compile them as dlls. I'm just utilizing assemblies during my building/testing fase.
My questions is:
Is it faster to completely build the datasets and all needed connections inside the assemblies/dlls and fill them? Or to build the datasets and connections as a sub procedure that can be accessed and then fill them as each required set of data is needed?
I ask because I will be having many different data connections and so I'm not sure if it's faster to explicitly build/fill almost each and every one and have them compiled at runtime ready to be accessed, or to file them when called from a sub etc...?
As I take it, the server should track and monitor which are used the most, and cache them, so as to operate faster. I wonder if it will still do this if the datasets aren't pre-filled?
Hi,
I have a little question. I have an application which interfaces with a SQL Express Database. On a form, I want to bind a control which is made of several Radio buttons to a table column which is in fact a varchar(1). This is the picture:
Table column: OptVisualRpt varchar(1)
Screen control: 2 radio buttons
rb_VisRPTbImp_O for "yes"
rb_VisRPTbImp_N for "no"
I'm really scratching my head as how I can bind a single table column to my radio buttons controls. I think that I just can't this way but rather have to use an intermediate variable or control.
Solution 1?
I thought of using a local variable that I would set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons but I don't know how to bind this variable to my table column.
Solution 2?
I thought of placing a hidden text control into my form, which one would be binded to my table column, that I would also set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons.
Any of these solutions which would be feasible or any more neat way to do it?
Many thanks in advance,
Stéphane

I am searching for a sp that can generate the entire objects on all my databass in the server. Something like the 'Generate sql scripts' for sql7 but i need it to be capable to run as a scheduled job and automaticly enters in all my databases in the server.
I need to take sql scripts for all my development databases every night. I have something like 80 databases in development on the server.

Hi,
This is a very detailed question, I hope this is the best forum to address it. It is more related to general ODBC access, and less to SQL Server data access.
Calling all ODBC experts!
I am a developer using an ODBC toolkit to connect to my companies metadata management product, which in turn communicates to SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and other databases. The ODBC toolkit we are using is very old, and has been very stable in accessing data with clients such as Access, Excel, Visio and others. It is a read-only ODBC driver that does not support a lot of advanced query and data manipulation features, such as catalog.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to debug the ODBC calls that Excel is making when attempting to load data through the External Data Wizard. The Excel version I am using is 2003. The method that I am using to attempt to load data is with 'Data | Import External Data | Import Data'. When that dialog appears, I select 'New Source...' then 'ODBC DSN'. I then select my DSN and click Next.
At this point, I get back the error 'unable to obtain a list of tables from the datasource'.
What is frustrating is, if I do 'Data | New Database Query' and use MSQuery to load the data, everything works fine.
As I mentioned I am using VC2005 and debugging, I believe the problem has to do with the capabilities of our driver and the columns that Excel is binding to return data. In this call, Excel is binding two columns - Table Qualifer (
TABLE_QUALIFIER (1)) and Remarks (TABLE_REMARKS(5)). Our driver does not support qualifiers, so we return a NULL for that value:
case TABLE_QUALIFIER:
fSqlTypeIn = SQL_CHAR;
rgbValueIn = NULL;
cbValueIn = SQL_NULL_DATA;
Excel makes the SQLTables() call, which successfully returns the entire list of tables from our server product. It then attempts to SQLBind the two columns I mentioned above. The first call to SQLFetch returns with SQL_SUCCESS but the ODBCGetData call fills the QUALFIER column with a NULL. So obviously, Excel doesn't like this value and then ends up quiting and displaying the message above (I think....) This is confirmed by looking at the ODBC trace calls:

SQLSMALLINT * 0x00134F04
So I began to examine the GetInfo calls. There are probably 100 or so that Excel makes. Anything related to qualifiers or cataloging seems to indicate (according to MSDN) that we do not support it. So my thinking was, if Excel properly identifies that we don't support qualifers, why does it attempt to bind the column? Is this a flaw in Excel, or are there some other GetInfo properties that I am not properly setting?
The attributes I am setting (that seem related) are:
SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION = 0
SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE = 0
SQL_QUALIFER_TERM = ""
SQL_CATALOG_LOCATION = 0
SQL_CATALOG_NAME = "N"
SQL_CATALOG_TERM=""
SQL_CATALOG_USAGE=0
Looking at ODBC trace logs, the only GetInfo values that Excel is quering is SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION, SQL_QUALIFIER_TERM and SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE. According to the MSDN documentation, an application is supposed to query SQL_CATALOG_NAME to determine if catalogs are supported. I know it is not, because I don't see it in the ODBC trace log, or my breakpoints in VC2005 are never hit.
I realize this is a HUGE question. I hope that I came across clear and that my question is understandable. I guess what it comes down to is - (maybe some Excel engineers can answer this one) - is this method of loading data into Excel require a Table Qualifier? If not, how can I configure my settings so that it asks for Table Name (as MsQuery does) instead?
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
Sometimes, when a try to list tables or view (or access Management, etc) Enterprise Manager hungs up.
Using SELECT * FROM SYSOBECTS also freezes the process. But the SQLServer is operational for data updates and retrieves.
Anyone?

Hello everybody. When I start to test SQL 2008 Febuary CTP I detect that sume of new options work incorrectly. This is description of this bug from Microsoft Connect:"I don`t know, may be somebody detect this issue too. Sorry If I create duplicate. I start SQL Server Managment Studio & click new query. After that I try to create simple query like this
Uses Master
Select "column name" from "table".
I was surprised because when start write column name I saw the pop-up objects list. But this was very strange list, because I didn`t find necessary columns. This list show only "common" objects(such as database nemes, functions & ect). I think that such list(after first select) should show only children objects(columns, keys, triggers, indexes & ect.), after that is you write "from" such list should show only parents objects (Such as table name, database name & ect).
PS. Sorry for my english." After that(today) I get the answer from MS SQL Team "Hi,
Your observation is correct. Selection list (column names) can suggests correct candidates once user specifies FROM clause.
Regrads,
Eric Kang
SQL Server Program Manager" & bug was closed as "By Design". Then I reopen this bug with such comments "
But It`s lokks very strange. If I want to select column name from the list I should: 1. write SELECT 2. Press Space 2. Write FROM "Table name" 3. Returt to free space after SELECT 4. Start Write "Column name". 5. Choose the necessary Column name from the list. There are too much for such simple operation.

Hi guys,
Being new to ASP.NET, I may be asking something that is dead simple, but please bear with me!
How would I go about listing all the tables, stored procedures and views from a SQL database within an aspx page? I understand how to connect and return a dataset etc, but that's about as far as I can get. I want to be able to list all of these objects from a given db - any ideas?
Additionally (this may not be possible) - is there a way I can list all of the objects within a visual studio.net solution, again within an aspx page?
Thanks for any help,

I wanted to check with you all if it is possible to create a script which generates the list of the schedules of all the jobs and then analyses it to rearrange the job starttime to ensure that we have equal gap between two jobs starting time. Just to ensure we donot have many jobs running at the same time.
