Hello all,
Thinking about building a new database in the enterprise addition of
sql server and using some horizontal parititioning techniques in order
to accomaodat what will eventually be a monster huge database.
Can you share some hard earned experience, gotchas, etc...with me? We
will be setting up this server on a SAN array that will be made up of
just one or two huge virtual RAID10 volumes and I am also wondering
about the wisdom of this? Its simple and should work, but is that
config relevant in any way specifically to our plan to partition?
I am trying to create a report which needs to print the table footer (not page footer) at the bottom of the page, regardless of the amount of data (detail). How do I go about this?
Hi, In a report we have a couple of pie charts one for each category. for eg. if there are 3 categories red,blue and yellow there will be three pie charts. Now the data is shown to a particular user only if the user has access to a particular category. suppose while designing the report the pie charts are created in the order : chart - red chart - blue chart - yellow.
If a user has rights only on the yellow category, only one chart will be displayed and chart-red and chart-blue will be hidden. Now the problem is, on the report I get blank space before chart-yellow as chart-red and chart- blue are hidden. is there a way to position chart - yellow in place of chart-blue if chart-blue is hidden or position chart-yellow in place of chart -red if chart-red and chart- blue both are hidded?
I have a report which contains just one textbox. I set the location of this textbox to 0cm x 0cm. Page size is 8,27in x 11,69in (A4). I want this textbox to be printed 15cm from the top and 15cm from the left. What should I do to achieve this? I tried using report maegins, but no success.
Hi all,I have been facing this dilemma since when I started coding in asp.net 2.0. I can have Data Access Layer wherein I can write stored procedures to access the data from database. I can create data access object, data table and all other stuff. Also I can create stored procedure in SQL 2000 server, and then access them from the Data Access layer. Which of the two method is preferable, and why. i have been searching net for answers to this question since long, but could not find anything. All answers can contribute may be little but invaluable knowledge.Thanks.
I am creating a report that contains several tables and graphs. The report should fit on one page. It is a dashboard type of report that gives a quick look at key information. I have several sections that have related objects - a table and a graph for the same subject. I grouped the subjects into rectangles so that I could have a nice border around each section. However, when the report is rendered in IE, the rectangles do not stay together, and I have white space between them. I tried putting a background color on the body, but the background color does not show when the report is rendered in IE.
I tried a work-around using lines, not rectangles, to separate sections. The spacing seems to be working, but again the background color is not showing on the rendered report, so that is not a viable option.
As a work-around for my work-around, I put the objects within one rectangle, again using lines to separate sections. However, the spacing of the objects within the rectangle is not working - I am left with large blank spaces again.
The problem I was having regarding re-enable a queue was because it was in another database. I am guessing it did that because the contract and Queues have the same name. I double checked and nothing pointed to that database. I fixed it because I can re-enable the queue in the other database and it is fixed. My question is why did this happen? The other issue I am still having is regarding why the queue got disabled to begin with. I understand that it was because of positioning but do not understand how or why and how to provent it from being disabled.
I have a user table with Label and value fields where i would like to control the display of the text boxes based on the values selected in my user table.Can we adjust the text box positions dynamically based on the user table values.
Ex: Table
Label1 Field1 Label2 Field2 Label3 Field3 ID 100 Dept Sales
Report Design :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label2: Field2: Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
Expected Result :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
In my table i don't have values for Label 2 & Field 2 , can we adjust the spacing conditionally to be utilized by Label3 & Field3 in SSRS.
Note : Above mentioned data is just for an example and in my actual report i can have more than 3 columns and report is looking ugly with all the spacing if i don't have data in all the fields.
Question (X-axis): How does automatic x-axis label positioning work? Answer: Currently, built-in Reporting Services charts only allow automatic positioning in order to avoid overlapping the x-axis labels. The label direction (horizontal/vertical) of the axis labels depends on the label string sizes and the available space. X-axis labels are either shown horizontally in one line, horizontally in multiple lines with line breaks, or vertically. Showing x-axis labels at an angle, or explicit manual control over individual x-axis label positions is currently not supported.
Note There are several third-party chart add-ins that enable more control over axis labels. These add-ins can be installed on top of Reporting Services 2005.
I have exactly the problem indicated above in that some sectors of my Pie Charts I am are trying to produce are small and are close together thus labels overlap in some cases. As it says above, only automatic placing of the labels is available, but there could be a solution through third party software.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party solution/add in or a workaround?
If I have the raw data dumped into a big table as following:
Date P R M E Date P R M E Date P R M E Date P R M E 1/1/90 1 2 3 4 1/1/90 2 3 4 5 1/1/90 3 4 5 6 1/1/90 4 5 6 7 ... 1/1/05 1 2 3 4 1/1/05 2 3 4 5 1/1/05 3 4 5 6 1/1/05 4 5 6 7
And this table has a repeating block [D, P, R, M,E] 300 times. Is it possible to write a loop query/stored procedures/triggers (or whatever it is) to read each repeating block and stack them on top of each other to insert into another table which has the same structure as following?
Look like this? Date P R M E 1/1/90 1 2 3 4 ... 1/1/05 1 2 3 4 1/1/90 2 3 4 5 ... 1/1/05 2 3 4 5 1/1/90 3 4 5 6 ... 1/1/05 3 4 5 6
If there is a solution would you please elaborate, example? Thank you for the help. shiparsons
I am testing horizontal partitions to see whether it is a feasible option for a project. IF I have a composite Primary Key and the constraint column (a part of the Primary Key) that helps the partitioned view is defined with DateTime Data Type, select on a restricted set of data through a partitioned view still tries to access all the tables instead of just one table that contains the data. Is this the case or am I missing something ?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tst01] ( [Dt] datetime NOT NULL , [TID] int NOT NULL , [Nm] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tst02] ( [Dt] datetime NOT NULL , [TID] int NOT NULL, [Nm] [char] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO

I'm running SQL Server 2008 Standard.I need to create a query that has data from multiple columns (Columns 1-6 with coresponding Date started and Date Completed data) displayed vertically, but also has the column name the preeceeding column to identify it...along with other data (Record number, status).
I'm considering using horizontal partitions to separate my data by year. For example, SomeTable_2004, SomeTable_2003, etc. This works well for backups, maintenance, etc. because I'm working with 150+ GB of data. I'll be a partitioned view for queries.
However, I'm new at this and have a few questions. I would also like to do partitioned updates or inserts. But I need to make sure that the tables don't use similar primary keys. Does that make sense? I need to make sure that the primary keys from the first table are not used again in the second table.
SomeTable_2003 primary keys: 1,5,8,9,15
SomeTable_2004 primary keys: 2,3,4,10
I don't really care what keys are used on what table, as long as they are different. I have apps that already use this data, and I don't want to change the application logic.

I tried with UNPIVOT but it does not allow it (I'm using Navicat 8), saying "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near UNPIVOT...".
I have 2 installations:1. W2k with MS SQL 2000 sp2.2. W2003 with MS SQL sp3.There are two databases in all instalations: "maindb" and "userdb". Thetable with data is in maindb.In the 1'st installation I restict user access to all data in table in thisway:- create user's login and user in databases maindb and userdb.- create view in userdb with "where" clause as dbo (dbo is owner of thisview). This clause restict access to data. (create view userdb.dbo.table asselect * from maindb.dbo.table where ...)- add user to group "Public" in maindb.- add role "data reader" to user in userdb.- effect: user can access data only by view, can not access any data inmaindb.I do the same in secound installation:- effect: user can not access data by view - message like this: "userhave not permission to select on maindb.dbo.table"Is this bug in sp3 or in sp2 ?Is there another way to horizontal restrict access data in tables?In Sybase ASE this method (restict by view) works ok. And there is newproperty of ASE 12.5.1 - administrator can define context of login - the"where" clause will be added automatically to any select.Please help me. Thank You for any advice.
I recently came across a database where the data are horizonally partitionedinto 4 tables. I'm not sure if this was a poor design choice, or if it wasdone for valid performance reasons. The schema of the tables are essentiallythe same, it's just that they are named differenly and the columns are nameddifferenlty to differentiate the data from a business usage perspective. Thetables could easily be combined inot one by adding a new colum to theclustered index that would be used to differentiate the business usage. I amtrying to evaluate whether combining the tables would improve performance orif it would be better to leave them the way they are. Many queries that runagainst these tables do not request records from more than one of thetables, which is good. However, there are a number of processes that queryagainst all of the tables on the identical clustered index range. I am notsure exactly how many rows are in the tables but I'm fairly certain theentire database is < 50 GB.
Anyone know why the horizontal scroll bar doesnt show up when the data is too large to fit into the given window? The vertical scroll bar will show up but never the horizontal.
HI, I'm testing out partitioning for an upcoming project and I'm a little confused over the query plan im generating.
I have a 13 million row table I want to break in to date ranges: tables are calljrnl,calljrnl_1999 and calljrnl_2000. The calljrnl table contains data for the last six months. one view, calljrnl_view is a union all of these three tables.
alter table calljrnl_1999 add constraint dt_constraint_1999 check (cj_created_dt <='1999-12-31 23:59:59')
alter table calljrnl_2000 add constraint dt_constraint_2000 check (cj_created_dt >='2000-01-01 00:00:000')
alter table calljrnl_2000 add constraint dt_constraint_2000_2 check (cj_created_dt <='2000-09-30 23:59:59')
The problem I'm having is that when I query on any date range outside the constraints set on the calljrnl_2000 table, It still wants to scan the calljrnl_2000 table. I'm assuming this has something to do with how the constraints are structured, but I am not able to find the right combination.
I have a table with 52 million rows which resides on Primary file group in my database. Because of huge number of rows the performance has gone very down and I would like to break the table into parts.
Can anyone suggest me the steps for doing the same and the number of parts that should be made. It is named as Account_Transactions and contains information of Policies in an insurance database.
I have a table as follows opendate (datetime) callnumber (int) closed (bit)
I want to find how many calls were opened today and of those how many are closed
I have come up with the code below but again am looking for 1. a more elegant solution 2. a way to generalise this to show the same information for x number of days
create table #holdit1 (opencount int)
create table #holdit2 (closedcount int)
insert into #holdit1 SELECT count(*) as opencount FROM [dbo].[problog] WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0 AND closed = 0 group by closed
insert into #holdit2 SELECT count(*) as closedcount FROM [dbo].[problog] WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0 AND closed = 1 group by closed
select #holdit1.opencount AS CallsOpen, #holdit2.closedcount AS CallsClosed, #holdit1.opencount + #holdit2.closedcount AS AllCalls from #holdit1 cross join #holdit2 #holdit2
DROP TABLE #holdit1 DROP TABLE #holdit2
this gives me CallsOpen CallsClosed AllCalls ----------- ----------- ----------- 1 3 4
I have a client with a fairly simple table as illustrated in my sample code. Their interesting requirement is that the records would be listed horizontally, end-to-end as I hope you can visualize based on what I'm providing here. Two other characteristics/specs of note, 1) there could be as few as two records end-to-end in a row or as many as 100 and 2) of course the column headings would have to be unique.
create table #tmpEndToEnd ( ID int identity, ClientID char(10), Agency varchar(20), Clinician varchar(20), Goal varchar(50)
We are generating RDL file on the fly using a XSLT. We are trying to implement an auto width to all the columns dislpayed in the Report. Is Automatic horizontal width for column supported in RDL? If so how? If not is there is any workaround for it?
We tried using CanGrow and CanShrink tags, but those are for only vertical.
I would like to display a couple of records horizontally via a table or list, but don't think this is possible. Am I right? The given recordset should only have two records and the formatting would be much better if they were displayed left to right rather than one on top of the other. Is this just not possible with SSRS? Thanks,
I'll admit I am fairly new to the reporting services, but I managed to figure most things out so far except this one. I have a matrix report where I have column groupings of:
Sales person Region
Basically, the report shows sales by sales person and region, and I added subtotals to each so each salesman/region combination gets subtotals, as does each salesman entry. Now, the one piece missing is the 'total of the subtotals' so to speak. So if I have something like:
Salesman Region Sales Jan Sales Feb Sales Mar 001 A $100 $175 $50
B $100 $200 $100 C $200 $100 $50 Total $400 $475 $200 002 A $100 $175 $50
B $100 $200 $100 C $200 $100 $50 Total $400 $475 $200 Grand Total $800 $950 $400
What I want to do is sum up the totals and add another column like so:
Salesman Region Sales Jan Sales Feb Sales Mar 001 A $100 $175 $50
B $100 $200 $100 C $200 $100 $50 Total $400 $475 $200 $1075 002 A $100 $175 $50
B $100 $200 $100 C $200 $100 $50 Total $400 $475 $200 $1075 Grand Total $800 $950 $400 $2150
And that is where I am stuck. In Report Designer, with the existing matrix report as above, how do I get these horizontal totals of the subtotals?
