How Can I Jump Start My SQL Server Skills (particularly On Transact SQL)

Jul 12, 2006



Hi,

Can some participants in this forum provide ideas on suggested training for somebody with a basic knowledge of SQL (started working in this field 6 months ago and still feel like a newbie beginner).

I assume I should focus on getting T-SQL nailed down before delving into the SSIS piece of SQL Server 2005?

Maybe there are a few companies that seem to give good practical knowledge and are located in the greater Los Angeles metro area?

Is it better to get certified through a 1 week or 2 week course via companies like Trainingcamp - does that really give you the practical skills to jump up several levels at one does at work?

Hope I can get some suggestions or direction on where I could best post this question for answers.

Regards,

Patrick

Other Programming Skills- CLR

Mar 25, 2008

Guys ..Im a very very confused Jr DBA/Dev here !

I need to know what exactly other languages [C#/VB.net/ADO/XML/ASP.net..etc] that I should learn in order for me to be able to excel in SQL Development.

I started getting my hands dirty with some SSIS / SSRS & SSAS, but inorder for me to handle situations such as [Find if file exist in ftp before loading, Checking a certain row of a data file before processing/ Zipping and Unzipping data files and etc...] What should I need to know well in order for me to add more value to my skills?
I would like to learn 1 language and master it pretty well.What are your suggestions?

And what is this CLR that is being talked about ?Does it use other language besides SQL?

Do guide this lost JR .......

Navigate To:Jump To Url Then Jump To Url Again!

Apr 17, 2007

I am stuck on this and its happening no matter what I do. I have a huge project that holds tons of reports. Most are sub-reports.



I have 5 sections I will just use one for example



communictions (totals)

jump to report - summary data

Jump to report - detail data.



The when I get to the detail data I always get the error:



The path of the item '(null)' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)



I have tried to do all sorts of things and no matter what I do I cant get it to work.



This is a web application using the ReportViewer for the web, SQL Server 2005 SP2



I have searched high and low for an answer to this and nothing works, not even the get instead of the post.



Any ideas on how I can get this to work?



Thanks

Using Jump To Report Navigation Option- Jump To The Same Report

Apr 28, 2008



I have a report that uses report parameters and navigation in the textbox.
When I click in the textbox, it jumps to the same report, but I cannot see the report parameters any more(hidden ). I cannot change the report parameters.
When I use only the report paramenters (no navigation option), they appear always during the run time.
How can I do to keep the report parameters visible all the time using "jump to the same report"??

Thank you so much. indyw

Failed To Jump To URL Contains MOSS Server Name

Dec 17, 2007



Hi all,

It would be much appreciated if any expert would have any suggestion.

I use reporting service with SP2 and integrated with MOSS 2007 platform.

I found I couldn't jump to a URL while the URL contains my MOSS server name on it.

For example, I simplely put http://mymoss/mysite on the "Jump to URL" property on my report, and it works fine while I read it on BI Development Studio, but it failed after I deploye it on my MOSS server.

I cannot click the item contains this hyperlink.

Although I could use below java script to open the same URL. ( Type below script on the Jump to URL property "javascript:void(window.open( 'http://mymoss/mysite', '_blank'))")

But the problem is that the URL I used is the link to MOSS's list with a very long path, so the jave script will be truncated after about 128 character length.

It's really strange that I couldn't open the URL contains the MOSS server name directly from the report on this MOSS server.

Your suggetion or solution will be very important to me.

Thanks,
Steve 2007/12/17

Transact SQL :: Find Missing Months In A Table For The Earliest And Latest Start Dates Per ID Number?

Aug 27, 2015

I need to find the missing months in a table for the earliest and latest start dates per ID_No.  As an example:

create table #InputTable (ID_No int ,OccurMonth datetime)
insert into #InputTable (ID_No,OccurMonth) 
select 10, '2007-11-01' Union all
select 10, '2007-12-01' Union all
select 10, '2008-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-02-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-04-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-05-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-08-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-09-01' Union all
select 40, '2008-03-01'

For the above table, the answer should be:

ID_No OccurMonth
----- ----------
20 2009-02-01
30 2010-06-01
30 2010-07-01

1) don't include an ID column,

2) don't use the start date/end dates in the data or

3) use cursors, which are forbidden in my environment.

SQL 2012 :: Impact Of Trace Flag 272 On Server Apart From Disabling Identity Jump

Sep 5, 2013

I am upgrading my application's SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2012.

As discussed in the below URL I am able to see the Identity jump after I upgrade and the server is restarted.

Now since I cannot afford this and at this moment I do not have the time to create a sequence with NOCACHE and test it again I have to go ahead and add trace flag 272 in the start up parameter as this is the only solution which I can implement and even rollback without much hassles.

[URL] ....

What I got to know, this flag will disable the new feature of IDENTITY property that has been implemented as part of SQL Server 2012 and will make it work like it was doing in SQL Server 2008 R2.

But I want to know implementing this flag would impact any other feature or performance (except the performance of IDENTITY) of SQL Server.

Jump To URL & Javascript

Oct 23, 2007

Hi, I am trying to link to a page outside of reporting services from a report. I am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services [Standard Edition]. The hyperlink works if it is a straight URL, however, nothing happens if I modify it to use Javascript so I can open the link in a new window. I have found many posts on the web from others indicating it should be really easy, but I can not get the link to recognize ANY Javascript (also tried a basic alert with no luck).

The Javascript I am using is well formatted. I can place it into a test page and it runs fine. I can also RC and View Source on my report, grab the entire link, put it in a test page and it works fine. It just doesn't work from the report - ?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Francine

Jump To Report

Feb 1, 2007

Hi

I want to use Jump to Report option under Navigation tab.

I have two reports both with Same parameters and parameters are multiple value selectable.

In Jump to Report this is how I set the parameter value.

LeadershipTeamId =Join(Parameters!LeadershipTeamId.Value,", ")

CostCentreId =Join(Parameters!CostCentreId.Value,", ")

CostElementGroupId =Fields!CostElementGroupId.Value

This works fine if I have only one value selected for CostCentre and LeadershipTeam but when I select the multiple value I get the following error.

The value provided for the report parameter 'LeadershipTeamId' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch)

Am I missing anything here?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Jump To URL Error

Jul 27, 2007

I'm trying to put a hyperlink in a field on a report. I've found the action property and set the "Jump To" box with the following:


="http://dveowb01.wbhq.com/UnitsStatusLog/StatusEntry.aspx?Unit=" & Fields!Unit.Value

I'm getting this error message:


The Hyperlink expression for the textbox €˜textbox24€™ refers to the field €˜Unit€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.

Please help.

Jump To Report

Mar 5, 2007

Hi all,

I have created a hyperlink(textbox) with an action property setting of "Jump to report" The report I am jumping to takes 5 parameters. I want to pass 4 of the parameters from the main report and have the user enter the 5th. I have mapped the 4 parameters and in preview mode, everthing works great. In preview mode, the parametrs are passed and the last parameter is left waiting for entry. After deployment, this is not the case. In the deployed state, I simply get an error that parameter #5 is blank. Is there there something I am missing?

regards,

Bill

I can create a report with a text box that I can click to jump. I'd like to be able to eliminate the click on text box if possible and jump directly from parameter select pull down box.

Hyperlink:Jump To Report

Mar 14, 2008

Hi,

I have a report that uses Jump to Report and passes Reportname with parameter. Is
there a way to suppress the parameter value in the URL so the user is unable
to manipulate the parameter and execute the changed URL?

This is what I have so far..

="http://<servername>/ReportServer?/<folder>/<reportname>&<parametername>="+Fields!<fieldname>.Value.tostring

because when reports exported to excel, hyperlink path will be displayed and should not display to the user.


Or can we set Hyperline action dyamically?



Thank you.

Jump To Report With Parameters

Dec 7, 2007

Hello,

I have a report (Report1) with a subreport (SubReport2). The subreport is a barchart. On the data values for the chart, I have a "Jump to Report" action defined. This jumps to another report(Report3) that has some parameters on it. Neither Report 1 nor SubReport2 have any parameters, only Report3.

When I jump to Report3, I would like to have it open up blank with the parameters open to be selected. I don't want to pass in any parameters as I jump to it. This works perfectly when I test it in my Preview pane in BIDS. However, when I upload the report to the ReportServer, when I click on SubReport2 to jump to Report3, I get an error saying

The 'Months' parameter is missing a value

There is no parameter pane for me to choose the parameters (or any other report viewer pane). However, if I open Report3 directly without trying to use Report1 and SubReport2 to jump to it, the parameter pane is there, everything works right.

Does anyone know how I can get the parameters pane to show up when I jump to Report3?

Thanks,
Andy
