we're all pretty fluent with 2005 products, but must enhance our legacy 2000 RS product, and prefer to use vs2003. Does anyone recall how we used to get vs2003 to allow RS2000 design. We dont believe we saw such an option in installation of vs2003, but since installing the db preceded that, arent sure if we would have been given such an option had vs2003 been installed prior to the 2000 db.

I need to refine a query in which one of the search conditions would depend on the value evaluated from the CASE function in SELECT statement. This returned column is named as "SLA". Now, the problem is I don't know how to recall this column in the WHERE clause as to do refinement. When I code it like SLA = @Term, SQL Server returned an error: Invalid column name 'SLA'
If anyone knows a solution, please kindly let me know.
Thank you!

Please assist with the following.
How do I connect to SQL Server Express in VS2003? "Do I still use using System.Data.SqlClient;"?
What would the connection string be in the code? The following does not work.
try { string connectionString = "server=localhost;uid=webserver;pwd=wordpass;database=dbMV;"; // create a new SqlConnection object with the appropriate connection string SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connectionString); // open the connection sqlConn.Open(); // do some operations ... // close the connection sqlConn.Close(); } catch(Exception err) { Response.Write(err); }
We have an existing project developed using VS 2003 with SQL server 2000.
Now planning to switch to SQL server 2005.
Are there any compatibility issues between VS 2003 and SQL server 2005, Plus sql server reporting services 2005.
We have been developing this project over a year and don't want to mess it. Now we are at the stage of developing reports and finidng lot of problems with sql server 2000 reporting services.
Thank you very much for the information.
Hi,
I'm trying to use reporting services in teh VS2003 but the Option to I create the project does not appear, i've already installed SP3 and no success, any idea ?
Thanks
We want to start working with Reporting Services on a Windows Server 2003 (SP1) server that has SQL2000 (SP3) Standard Edition. I thought I could load RS from the CD but it does not appear to be on there. I seem to remember that Microsoft added RS to SQL2000 in the last year or so. Can I download a copy of it, or how do I go about getting a copy and how to I show my boss that it is a legit copy? Thanks...

Hi:
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem installing BIDS. On a XP machine with Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2008 installed, i tried to install SQL Server 2005 DE with SSIS and Client Tools. All works fine, but the devenv.exe where BIDS start menu shortcut points to doesnt exist.
In SQL Server installation dialog, i tried uninstalling BIDS (168 MB disk space will get free'd...) then again installing BIDS (...needs 168 MB disk space...), a lot of harddisk activity, but all the same.
I searched for devenv.exe on drive c:, only two hits: The VS2003 and VS2008 files.
I tried uninstalling VS2008, VS2003, .net3.5, .net3.0, .net2.0 and SS2005, then installing SS2005 with BIDS, again BIDS start menu shortcut points to nowhere. No devenv.exe on drive c:
Now i used system recovery to go back to the point before uninstalling all the stuff, so i can do all my work beside BIDS/SSIS, seaching for a solution...
I thought about installing VS2005 prof., but the license is lost because i upgraded to VS2008.
Note: The VS2008 is installed without installing the SQL Server coming along with VS2008.
Any help?

I am trying to follow an exercise for debugging a stored procedure in the .net IDE. I have had success in adding a connection to the application, until I get the point of where I should set a BreakPoint in the stored procedure "Ten Most Expensive Products" which belongs to the Northwind database. When I open Sever Explorer -->Data Connections- ->WI0001.NorthWind.dbo-->Stored Procedures and Right-click the procedure, the context menu does not give me an edit item to select to open this SP in the editor. Nor can I double-click on the stored procedure to open it either.

We have many domain users who develop/deploy reports using VS2003 to our remote server at https://server/reportserver with no problems at all.
A single workstation on the domain that been used to develop reports cannot deploy though. The message looks fairly simple to diagnose "no report server was found at https://server/reportserver". I have checked dns and the servername resolves no problem. I have manaully edited and added the server to the hosts file also. I have updated and service packed all VS elements (VS2003 7.1.6030).
The server is contactable in all ways on this workstation, all ip/dns settings are the same as other domain workstations.
Can anyone point me in the direction of log files to look at, or if i am missing any basic options in VS. I have checked all deployment settings from other workstations.
Many Thanks!

We just applied SP2 to our Windows 2003 server & it has had an odd impact RS2000.
When trying to change the data source of a report to a shared data source, the browse button when clicked does not take you to the page to enable selection! It does nothing!
Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on there?
Here's the situation we're facing. Our organization is going to consolidate into a single domain. The plan of action is to disband the old domain, and create an all new domain. Most of our servers will also be renamed in the process.
We've got something of a two-server setup, with one machine handling SQL Server, and the other hosting various intranet sites, including Reporting Services 2000.
SQL Server itself shouldn't be a huge problem to migrate - the machine only has about half a dozen Windows logins set up. In my experience, though, Reporting Services is a much more fragile animal. Just getting it up and running on Win2003 SP1 and coexisting with ASP.NET 2.0 was enough of a stunt already. What will I have to watch out for to make sure this doesn't completely hose our installation? Would it be too optimistic for me to hope that I'll just have to reconcile any domain service accounts, change the connection string for the report server catalog database, and be done with it?
Hi there,
I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
Code Block
RS2000
="with " &
"member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " &
"set [Rolling Quarters] as '" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value +".lag(4):" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value + "'" &
"SELECT " &
"{[Measures].[Ex Price]} ON COLUMNS , " &
"filter({CrossJoin([Items by Class].[Item Class Description].members, [Rolling Quarters])}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on Rows " &
"FROM Sales " &
"WHERE (" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.Value & ")"
RS2005
with
member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)'
set [Rolling Quarters] as '@DateQuarter' +'.lag(4):' + '@DateQuarter'
SELECT

We're using RS2000 and there are some reports that are having problems exporting to Excel after having been rendered.
The reports have no more than 30,000 rows, but are about 150 columns wide. The reports run (execute and redner) very quickly in Reporting Services, but when exporting, the "blank rendering window" (the one with the URL: "http://ServerName.Reportserver?ReportName&rs%3aCommand=Render&rs%3AFormat=EXCEL) is open for about half an hour, and the w3wp process pummels our 8 proc box (CPU between 50 and 90% for that time) and memory goes past 1.5 GIG (of the total 8 GIG) usage.
Sometimes we'll get a message asking the user to log in after about 10-15 minutes, after which it fails, other times it makes it to the dialog box asking if you want to open or save the spreadsheet. If it makes it to this dialog, it's OK, if not, it fails on the export. The resulting spreadsheets are only between 25 - 32 MG, not very big at all.
Are there any settings we can tweak to speed this up, or at the very least, be sure it always makes it to the Open/Save dialog?
Thanks in advance.
Hi There
I've not managed to find an answer already about this, and so I know you guys will be able to help me out becuase your great!!!
Our Reporting Services portal is acting strangely, all the existing reports we have subscriptions for are running fine.
However should we change the list of contacts or the dates or times of any exisiting schedule this stops our reports from being delivered, infact the report run time will pass, but the report will not run and even in the Subscriptions table of RS the last status will only show "New Subscription".
So whatever is happening, it is not triggering the correct work flow. (Thats my thought at least)
We examined SQL Agent logs to uncover that the Login used to run the reports was running the existing reports without issue, however the new subscriptions would give the following error:
[298] SQLServer Error: 8198, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'SERVERNAMEREPORTING_ACCOUNT'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)
The server name and account have been changed to protect the gullible and innocent.
I do hope someone else can provide some insight into my issues
Thanks in advance
Tristan
Occasionally I have this error happening in some of my subscriptions: Subscription contains invalid parameters.
What is actually happenign, one of the parameters has lost the value on which it was previously running without problems. If I open subscription the first parameter, of more, is having no value. The value that is usually lost is first option in drop down list, being for ALL of bellow values. When the error happens it has no value, and that option normally doesn't exists as a parameter value. (If you go creating new subscription that same parameter doesn't have empty values as options to be selected. I usually return ALL and then other individual values.)
For example, one report is having paramteres that returns values from the stored procedure, and the return dataset would be:
Value Label
----------------- -----
'SP1','SP2','SP3' ALL
'SP1' SP1
'SP2' SP2
'SP3' SP3
So, when the error happens, in no reason (no changes to proc, to report design, to subscription,...)
usually those subscriptions that had ALL for this parameter have lost the value, the option is BLANK, and is treated as invalid value, which is correct, as my query also doesn't return BLANK value.
I have to manually go into subscription and set up the value back to ALL and then it's OK, untill next time.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Does anyone now the fix for this? We thought that hot fix on SP2 may solve this, we applied on dev server but it didn't.
Or maybe someone knows workaround this issue?
Thanking in advance!

Elizabeta
A few details first:
The report server is remote to the development server (VS 2003).
The web application that will be calling it is ASP.NET 2.0 and developed in VS 2005.
I have a couple of questions:
a: Can I link to the report from the web application using a basic Hyperlink control rather than using a ReportViewer control?
b: How can I force which format it opens in? Say I want it to be rendered as a PDF in one instance but at an XSL document in another.
Many thanks and kindest regards,

= Code.GetDealCount(ReportItems) & " Deal(s)"
also
= Parameters!BaseCurrency.Value + " " + Format(Code.GetSumNotionalAmount(ReportItems),"N2").ToString().Replace(",","'")
When I preview the report in VS.NET I get values showing.
When I deploy the report I just get #Error showing.
Also this report used to work fine in RS2000
Does anyone know the cause of this issue?
Hi all,
Not sure what's going on here...
I had reports using the HTML Viewer working in RS 2000. The servers were both O/S Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Reporting Services 2000) The default toolbar and parameters area were formatted and looked fine.
We just migrated to new servers with Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server 2005, IIS 6.0, Reporting Services 2005. I have the reports working fine...except the toolbar and parameters areas look as if there is no formatting at all...as if the style sheet isn't being applied (not even the default one --see below).
Although I don't think this is necessary....I tried the following to resolve the issue....
Updated the RSReportServer.config file.
Driveletter:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerRSReportServer.config
Checked that the HtmlViewer.css file was in the ...ReportServerStyles folder.
Added the following line between the
<Configuration>.......</Configuration> tags in the RSReportServer.config file.
<HTMLViewerStyleSheet>HtmlViewer</HTMLViewerStyleSheet>

Next
Select a format XML file with report data CSV (comma delimited) TIFF file Acrobat (PDF) file Web archive Excel

I can't find anyone else having this issue...any ideas?
Hope someone can help...thanks for looking....

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!

Prices for each packages also will be different that also need to show. Â How to design the table..Â
Product name  : Â
Nestle milk |
Rainbow milk
packages  :

Hi all.
I'm going to create a big DB that will hold important info
(the usual stuff - Clients, Products, Orders...)
I wonder where should I use the IDENTITY field,
for example - on Orders I will have Order_ID...
(and where does SQL server the numbers of a deleted records)
My fear is that IDENTITY fields will go wrong somehow so I can
loose connections within the tables
(maybe when restoring my DB to some other locations... with DTS... or other issues)
1. When should I use IDENTITY field ?
2. If I do NOT - how can I lock a record when I add a new one
Hi,
I have 7 web forms wizard. after the user edit the fields, I need to keep a history log of the changed data only.
I am thinking of the following structure
log_id, user_id, field_id, old_value, new_value, transaction
Where field_id is a number indicates the changed field.
for example 1> First Name, 2> Last Name etc
Where transaction is ADD, DELETE, EDIT
Also i need to keep history of the details
for example an enterprise has 10 branches.
State, employees
NY, 1000
MD, 500
My log table will look like this
log_id, user_id, field_id, old_value, new_value, transaction
1, 1, 1, , Mick ,John , EDIT
2, 1, 3, ,NY , HI , EDIT
3, 1, 3, ,MD , , DELETE
4, 1, 4, ,500 , , DELETE
5, 1, 3, , ,NV , ADD
6, 1, 4, , ,700 , ADD
Is there a better way to log changes?
Thanks
I'm going to create a hardware/software inventory program to keep track on all the computers at the office. This program should be able to search the database using queries like "all computers with a cpu faster than 500Mhz".
I want some tips on my database design.
One solution is to create columns for each piece of hardware, i.e. cpu, ram, hdd etc etc. Then just run simple SELECT queries against them. The problem is that a computer may have many HDDs/CDs etc, and also other type of equipment may be entered in the database like switches and routers.
Another solution is to specify the valuetype + value in one table having a relation to another table containing the actual machines/routers/switches. The problem here is that I can't do numeric comparisons this way since "11" is less than "2", ("all computers with a cpu faster than 500Mhz").
Any suggestions?
