Need Help To Built A Client-server Inventory Software
Oct 23, 2006
Hi everyone,
I am a novice programmer. I want to develop a Inventory software using
C# 2005, which will run on a LAN environment. There will be three machine
which will store and retrive data from a common database. Which version
of SQL server is appropiate for this ? Is it possible to provide the
networking facilily using MS Access ? I don't know how to configure SQL
Server for this. Please help me.
Thank You.
hi i am new to mssql db stuff. I just developed my first VB.NET application and it uses a mssql database which is hosted locally on my development machine. I built the deployment msi file for my application which can be installed easily on client machine, but have no idea how to move the mssql db with it.
Based on jax-ws 2.0 technology, I built a java client application to access a report via the web service interface of the SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
I used the jax-ws "wsimport" tool to generate the java classes needed to call the web services (The class generation is based on the wsdl and I used this one http://serverName/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx?wsdl) and wrote the following sample code :
ReportExecutionService service = new ReportExecutionService(); ReportExecutionServiceSoap rs = service.getReportExecutionServiceSoap();
String reportPath = "HelloWorld";
String format = "MHTML"; String devInfo = "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>"; Holder<byte[]> result = new Holder<byte[]>(); Holder<String> extension = new Holder<String>(); Holder<String> mimeType = new Holder<String>(); Holder<String> encoding = new Holder<String>(); Holder<ArrayOfWarning> warnings = new Holder<ArrayOfWarning>(); Holder<ArrayOfString> streamIDs = new Holder<ArrayOfString>();
The trouble is that an exception is caught on the call to the render method
javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation. ---> The session identifier is missing. A session identifier is required for this operation. I found on the web (in C# examples) that this SessionId is supposed to be contained in the ExecutionId attribute of an
ExecutionHeader object. The ReportExecutionServiceSoap class (my rs object in the example) does not offer any way to directly set this SessionId or to associate an ExceptionHeader before calling the render method.
What is a good simple way to scan the servers in your network for SQLServers?Does anyone have any scripts or code that would show me how to dothis?I think WMI might be able to do this but don't know where to start.If possible I'd like to be able to get the version (2000 or 2005) ifpossible.Thanks,Kelly GreerJoin Bytes!change nospam to yahoo
So I have been struggling with a way to perform inventory turn calculations in SQL. I'll start off with the formula. Basically the formula is Cost of Goods Sold over last 12 months / Average Inventory Value over the last 12 months. Short hand as COGS/AvgInventoryValue = Turns
In order to obtain the COGS value I take the Avg(UnitCost) * Sum(InvoicedQty) in the last 12 Months for Sales documents. This is represented as DOCUMENTTYPE = 2 Then divide AvgInventoryValue To obtain the AvgInventoryValue I need to know the Quantity purchased in the 12 month period * Avg(UnitCost) + QuantityOnHand at the start of the period * Avg(UnitCost) The purchased documents are represented with DOCUMENTTYPE = 6
The purchases will be positive since we are putting value in. The sales are negative since value is going out. I'll start with a simple example where the product is at zero Quantity On Hand at the beginning of the period.
--CREAT THE TEMP TABLE create table #VALUEENTRY ( ITEMNO VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL , POSTINGDATEDATETIME NOT NULL , DOCUMENTTYPEINT NOT NULL
[code]....
Is there another approach I should take to obtain the inventory turns?Also how do I account for periods earlier than 12 months where inventory is left over?In the sample data this item happened to be at zero inventory on hand at the start of the period. Also I believe it is my subquery's which are throwing the numbers off but I'm not sure how to isolate the subquery to just perform the result for a specific item. It is aggregating the entire table. How can I make the subquery more specific?
I have a sharepoint on a windows internal database server (some version of sql express 2005). When I run the app, it says that I need SQL server reporting services 2005. I dont think that this component is bundled with "windows internal database server". Is there anyway I can download this component or otherwise make this work?
Seems a bit silly that they would make a tool requiring a component that doesnt need to be installed for sharepoint to run.
On Windows XP systems I get the following issue when trying to browse the MSDB folder in SSIS
Client unable to establish connection Encryption not supported on SQL Server. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)
I have noticed another post where several others have noticed the same issue. It appears to only occur on Windows XP installations. Is there a workaround or fix for this?
I have a .NET 1.1 component that I want to use as an extended stored procedure in SQL Server 2000. Is this possible? FYI, I read in many sources (e.g. MSDN blogs) that creating extended stored procedures can only be done using a low level language such as C/C++.
I am wondering if it's possible to expose this component as a COM component using the .NET interop library, then register it with SQL Server 2000, and finally be able to consume it from TSQL?
Can any one clarify me the doubt in deploying the application build with SQL Server Express 2005 as database and Vb.Net 2005 as frontend with the same setup made for delopying application. will the server installation and database creation can be made automatic.
If this is possible then what are the steps in doing so and the files to be included while enbeding with vb.net setup.
Hello, Sorry my newbie question, but I didn't find how to install my ready asp2.0 application (VS2005) to the target Win2003 server. I use SQL Express 2005 both in my dev machine and the Win2003 server. I simply copied all the .aspx and .mdf file there and I made a virtual directory in the server's IIS. My application works corretly without the database, but when I try to log-in it says: wrong user name or password. With Management Studio Express I made a SELECT to see my built-in users (I added these users in my dev machine before the deploying), and I found them correctly. But when I try to log-in via my application it seems as if it would be empty. Then I made a simply page with createUserWizard to try adding new users in the server but the SQL said: the database is read-only (in the IIS I enabled all rights (eg. read, write, run)). Is there a special way to deploy my SQL file or the whole application? Sorry, I am not enough familiar with it
I need to grab the value of the ReportFolder built-in global filed to a particular report on Report Manager, i.e., the full path to a particular report, when the user runs/executes the particular report, SSRS. Once I get this I need to process the path and get the Parent folder to the report and pass that to a stored procedure to do some business logic.
Could please any of you give me some advices for if there are tutorials and demos avaiable which cover all the SQL Server 2005 data mining built-in algorithms?
That will be great to hear from any of you shortly. Thanks a lot in advance.
I would like to use MatLab built-in statistical functions (beta, gamma, normal, etc.) from inside a SQLServer stored proceudre. Does anyone know if possible? (Of course, If so, where can I get documentation for doing this?)
As we know the limited features on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, but we can build advanced features for it with coding on it. Would please any experts shed me any light on it in a summary like what advanced features could be added with coding on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services?
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help and advices. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.
When doing a unattended install of Microsoft SQL Server Express, I have a problem specifing the service to installed to be run under the as local system account.
I'm using: SQLACCOUNT & SQLPASSWORD parameters but it just won't work.
As default SQL Server is installed using the NETWORK SERVICE account, this causes the database to be read-only. What I want is to specifiy in the script that the service should run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account instead. This must also be OS-language independent.
I've tried:
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE SQLACCOUNT=SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=BUILT-INSYSTEM
etc.
and even some different SID as:
S-1-5-18 S-1-5-19
All with no password with the SQLPASSWORD parameter:
SQLPASSWORD=
I still getting the same error while validating the service account.
Is there someone else who knows what I'm doing wrong?
I've built my SQL Server Express database with SQL Serevr Management Studio Express, and now I want to enter some seed data to assist in building tha app around it. I cannot find an option to manage the data in SQL SMSX, like I used to with Enterprise Manager. I don't want to have to write an app just to get test data in. Seems like this should be a common need. Am I missing something obvious here? Can't find any reference to this in a search of the forums. Please help.
Hi! I'm kinda stuck in getting a particularly tricky qurey...
SQL Code:
Original - SQL Code
SELECT DISTINCTROW Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName, Sum(CCur([Order Details].[UnitPrice]*[Quantity]*(1-[Discount])/100)*100) AS ProductSales FROM (Categories INNER JOIN Products ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID) INNER JOIN (Orders INNER JOIN [Order Details] ON Orders.OrderID = [Order Details].OrderID) ON Products.ProductID = [Order Details].ProductID WHERE (((Orders.ShippedDate) Between #1/1/1995# And #12/31/1995#)) GROUP BY Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName;
SELECT DISTINCTROW Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName, SUM(CCur([ORDER Details].[UnitPrice]*[Quantity]*(1-[Discount])/100)*100) AS ProductSalesFROM (Categories INNER JOIN Products ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID) INNER JOIN (Orders INNER JOIN [ORDER Details] ON Orders.OrderID = [ORDER Details].OrderID) ON Products.ProductID = [ORDER Details].ProductIDWHERE (((Orders.ShippedDate) BETWEEN #1/1/1995# And #12/31/1995#))GROUP BY Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName;
The above SQL statement is from the famous Northwind DB and it is called the "Product Sales for 1995" query...
I have Transactions instead of Orders and TransactionDetails instead of [Order Details]
Now, I want something similar... I want to render Dead Stock and Fast Stock... I'm using ComponentOne's Reporting solution and it pretty much like Access.
Anyways, I want to supply a date for TransactionDetail.TransactionDetailDetail as starting date (ending date is always Today()) and within this range, i want to get a list of products that are sorted ascending on Products.ProductUnitSold. This should return a list of products (grouped by category name) showing SubCategoryName, ProductName, ProductUnitPrice, TotalSold...
If total sold is ascending = Dead Stock If total sold is descending = Fast Stock
Hi all, i don't know where to post these, and so i posted in here about sql stuff... I want to do a stock inventory for my restaurant, and i don't know how to start building the database, so, I want to ask if anyone knows if they have a database diagram for stock inventory... any kind of database diagram will helps, so I get and Idea how to start... thanks...
i want to make business portal intellegence with sql2000 as my final project but i don't have datasets. i need iventory datasets like northwind or foodmart or middlewest. somebody help me please!!
I am designing a BI solution for a large manufacturer. They process big ticket items. They track their inventory by each piece. I need to know where each item is located, where it came from, when it arrived, has it been processed, ect. Along with that I have to be able to run reports by day/week/month/year that shows current inventory levels at any point in time.
What I arrived at for table design is each item will get a row which will include a column for date and another for Add_Remove. When the item is added to inventory it gets a date and a +1 for Add_Remove. When it is removed it gets a new row with a date and a -1 in the Add_Remove column. I should be able to add the Add_Remove column for the selected rows (by location, type, etc) from the beginning of time to any point in time and get a current total. If I'm reporting by month for the year I should be able to add from time(0) to lastitem in January to get January levels, then the same for each successive month.
The problem I can't figure out the MDX code to do that. My basic data set is as follows:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Total], [Measures].[Add Remove], [Measures].[Inventory Weight] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Ship From].[Ship From Region].[Ship From Region].ALLMEMBERS * [Ship From].[Ship From].[Ship From].ALLMEMBERS * [Date Received].[Date].[Date].ALLMEMBERS * [Date Received].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS * [Date Received].[Month].[Month].ALLMEMBERS) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Region, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromDateReceivedMonth, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToDateReceivedMonth, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@InventoryType, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Division, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Heidtman DW])))) WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@Division, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@Division, CONSTRAINED), [Organization].[Division].currentmember ), IIF( STRTOSET(@InventoryType, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@InventoryType, CONSTRAINED), [Inventory Type].[Inv Type].currentmember ) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Any ideas? I've tried adding ordered sets to the query with no success. I've tried calculate measures in the cube with less success. My time dimension includes every day from 1/1/1980 to 12/31/2050.
The one calculated memeber i tried - AGGREGATE ([Date Shipped].[Date].[Date].Item(0):Tail(existing [Date Shipped].[Date].[Date]).Item(0)) took 20 minutes to run in VS Browser and produced an error for every date in the time dimension......
I have this script which pulls in all products from a product inventory with a sku range starting in 9 and ending in BK
select Product.ProductID,Product.Name,Product.SKU,ProductVariant.Inventory From Product Inner join ProductVariant on Product.ProductID=ProductVariant.ProductID where Product.SKU like '9%BK'
If I wanted to add something to this script where the inventory for all those products in the results above was changed from 0 to 20 how would I add this? Just changing those who had a a SKU starting with 9 and ending in BK
Hello, I'm looking for a little input on this situation.I'm working on an inventory system and was thinking that I'd like tobuild it similiar to the way a bank keeps track of your funds.If you look at at bank statement, for each line item, you'll normallysee at least date/time, description, amount (plus or minus value), andbalance.In my inventory system, the amount and balance would be a count of theitems used or transferred instead of money.Does this sound reasonable? Or is there a better design? I am planningto connect the inventory system to a few different ordering interfaces,and I think it would work well if I can dump transactions into theinventory instead of incrementing and decrementing counts.The only problem I see with this, is if I want to implement the balancepart of it with each record....I can't think of a way to do that currently.I can certainly use a trigger in the database to retrieve the mostrecent transaction and update the balance field for one record insertedat a time, but if a list of transactions is dumped into the inventorysystem at once, I'd have to compensate for that in the trigger.Ideas?*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I am designing a Database Application that covers Inventory System. And I am now in a dilemma of chosing which design to track Inventory stock better, in performance, reliability, and error free?
1st Design
PRODUCT TABLE ItemID ItemName Price QtyOnHand ..and other unique info of the product..
and similar design with PURCHASE+DETAIL, SALESRETURN+DETAIL, PURCHASERETURN+DETAIL, ADJUSTMENT+DETAIL
The later design does not hold QtyOnHand, but only save QtyBegin instead. To get the QtyOnHand, it uses views/stored procedure with Union Query, so it looks like this:
I have to caculate the fifo inventory aging from purchase date, for example I have one item with 100 units in stock, and purchase this month 20 units, and 200 units three month ago, this item has 20 units this month and 80 units from 3 month ago.
Data is as follows: <<<<< ORIGINAL DATA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am developing an inventory database in SQL Server. I realize there aremany commercial (as well as some non-commercial) inventory offerings, but myclient has specific requirements that would necessitate significantcustomization of any off-the-shelf application. In the end, we decided itwould be more feasible to build one to our specifications.What I am looking for are a list of best practices/recommendations for thearchitecture and modeling of an inventory database. This inventoryapplication will be for managing a wholesale products operation. It mustmanage purchase orders to the manufacturer of the products, sales invoicesfor the retail customers of the products, as well as manage product stocklevels in the warehouse. We will need a number of reports, including:1. What products are in stock.2. What products are on order from the manufacturer.3. What products are needed to fulfill outstanding sales.4. Warehouse operations (e.g., receipt of delivery, inspection, add toinventory, pull from inventory, packing lists, invoices, return toinventory, etc.)5. Sales analysis (e.g., product velocity, sales by associate, etc.)My main question is regarding the managing of products in stock. As I see itthere are three ways of accomplishing this:1. Track only transactions (products received, products shipped, etc.) andcalculate the stock based on the sum of all transactions. But as transactionvolume accumulates over time, this would get very slow and cumbersome.2. Have a table of "units in stock" and add and subtract to it astransactions occur. This has the advantage of always providing an instantsnapshot of inventory levels. But it makes it more difficult to managechanges or corrections to a transaction once it has been entered.3. A combination of the above two concepts. Choose a point in time (forexample, when the warehouse inventory is audited) and capture that in a(semi) "static" table. After that, transactions are summed as needed againstthose static numbers. The next time the warehouse is audited, the "static"table is updated and all prior transactions are archived. New transactionsare once again summed against the most recent audit numbers. Of course, thiswould mean halting operations at the time of the audit (probably not anissue for my client's business).Recommendations? Suggestions? Comments?(Btw, I've tried to find this info in books and online, but so far have notfound anything that makes specific inventory system design recommendations.If you know of a good reference, please let me know.)Thanks in advance!Michael
I would appreciate If any one could help me in this matter.
problem is : how to maintain perpetual inventory transaction table order in batch mode updation ?.
I have designed a table to hold all inventory transactions. The table order is perfectly maintained in online system of updation. But if I go with batch updation then the order of the transaction is collapsing. For example consider the following table design. (note I used auto number to maintain the order).
version used : SQL Server 2000 with service pack updates.
ofcourse if the order collapse means costing can not be accurate. so please any one could help me to solve this problem. because many software packages are not posting in sequence if we choose in batch mode.
how to measure a change in inventory over various stores. My sql2008R2 express db gets a new row of data everyday from each store(about 40 stores) for a single product stock count "OnHand" and if there is any new stock on order. When the new stock arrives it is added to the "OnHand" count. I want to measure the delta change per day,per store. I'm stuck on how to separate the stores and how to query the delta of stock.My data base looks like this
To setup some data in some new tables in t-sql 2012, I need to create a relationship between 2 tables were data is obtained from an inventory file. The inventory file will be loaded to sql server 2012 from an excel spreadsheet.
1. Columns that will be loaded to the first table are:
1. Inventory category number, 2. Inventory date, 3. Inventory Category total amount, and 4. Inventory category quantity on hand.
This table will have a column called Item number. This will need to be the value of item number that is in the second table.
2. Columns that will be loaded to the second table are:
Thus can you show me the sql that will load the table into both tables? This sql would also need to show how to obtain the values of item number from the second table and place that value into the first table.
