I have browsed your FAQ, I have looked over almost a hundred different websites, and I am completely befuddled.
What am i doing wrong?
Here is what is going on.
I am a reporting analyst who is loking for a new, easier, and more dynamic way of showing reports to management. Currently we use Excel and some access databases. We receive most of our data from data warehouses within the company. It works but i would likse something that is a little more professional, something like a dashboard on a website.
So this is where i am right now, I was told about SQL, and SQL server reporting services.
So i now have a SQL database and the reporting services set up for me. but where do i start???
how do i make a table? how do i get data onto the tables, how do i query them?
granted i know that i will need to learn the syntax, and i have found heaps of information regarding what to type and why i need to type it, but where do i type it???
i need some hints; what kind of applications exist that i can install on my computer to make my SQL server do stuff.
this seems like the most basic of questions, i know, and i am probly getting in over my head, but i have patience and i have been given the time to figure it all out. and if this lowly reporting analyst can be transformed into a DBA/web dev, while getting paid, then im all for it
can someone help me how can i access datas using union? or show my data in the gridview.....pls..... coz i have 3 tables... i need to output the datas of the 3 tables in 1 gridview. tables are: TT0001,TM0011,TM0001 TT0001 has syain_id(PK),time_in,time_out,year(PK),month(PK),day(PK) TM0011 has office_name,office_id(PK) TM0001 has syain_id(PK) office_id(PK),empl_date the scenario is: i have a combo box for office_name, and a textbox for imputting the date( 2007/01/23).when i click the button OK. the time_in,time_out and syain_name of the person who is present in the choosen date(ex. 2007/01/23) will be shown in my gridview_info. i already have some codes but it still confuse me and has many errors.... my code: GridView_info.Visible = True '//for odbc Dim StrConn As String = "Dsn=MS_PKG01;UID=emiline;APP=Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005;WSID=MSHNP200603;DATABASE=MS_PKG01;Trusted_Connection=Yes" Dim MyConn As Odbc.OdbcConnection = New Odbc.OdbcConnection(StrConn) 'Dim MyConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MS_PKG01ConnectionString").ConnectionString) MyConn.Open() '//parsing 2 Dim MyString As String = TextBox_date.Text Dim MyDateTime As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(MyString) Console.WriteLine(MyDateTime) Dim stringQuery2 As String = "SELECT * from tempo_db" Dim SQLcommand2 As New Odbc.OdbcCommand("Create table tempo_db ( syain_name char(40),year char(4), month char(2), day char(2), in_hh int, in_mi int, out_hh int, out_mi int )", MyConn) SQLcommand2.ExecuteNonQuery() Dim SQLcommand1 As New Odbc.OdbcCommand("Drop table tempo_db", MyConn) SQLcommand1.ExecuteNonQuery() Dim da As New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter("Select TT0001.Year,TT0001.Month,TT0001.Day,TT0001.in_hh,TT0001.in_mi,TT0001.out_hh,TT0001.out_min where TT0001.Year =" + MyString + " and TT0001.Month =" + MyString + " and TT0001.Day =" + MyString + " and TT0001.syain_id =" + TM0001.syain_id + " Union Select TM0001.syain_name where TM0001.syain_id =" + TT0001.syain_id + " 　Union Select　TM0011.office_name where TM0011.office_id =" + TM0001.office_id + " Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim foundrow As DataRow Dim ds2 As New DataSet 'Dim temp_data_table As New DataTable GridView_info.DataSource = ds da.Fill(ds, "TT0001") Dim sqldataadapter2 As New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(stringQuery2, MyConn) sqldataadapter2.Fill(ds2, "tempo_db") Dim date_ctr As Integer date_ctr = 1 While date_ctr <= Date.DaysInMonth(Now.Year, Now.Month) ds.Tables(0).PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables(0).Columns("Year")} 'ds.Tables(1).PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables(0).Columns("Month")} 'ds.Tables(2).PrimaryKey = New DataColumn() {ds.Tables(0).Columns("Day")} foundrow = ds.Tables(0).Rows.Find(date_ctr) 'foundrow = ds.Tables(1).Rows.Find(date_ctr) 'foundrow = ds.Tables(2).Rows.Find(date_ctr) Dim in_hh, in_mi, out_hh, out_mi As String If foundrow IsNot Nothing Then in_hh = foundrow.Item("in_hh") in_mi = foundrow.Item("in_mi") out_hh = foundrow.Item("out_hh") out_mi = foundrow.Item("out_mi") End If End While GridView_info.DataSource = ds2 GridView_info.DataBind() MyConn.Close() End Sub

hi! I'm just wondering does anyone know how to create an sql command that can search word by word? what i mean is like I have a product with name 'harry potter broom'. I want an sql command where if i type only 'harry broom' this 'harry potter broom' product will show up. Does anyone have any idea? Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- query = "select distinct * from product where " & _ "(pname like '%" & keyword & "%' or " & _ "pdesc like '%" & keyword & "%' ) and " & _ "(price >= " & price1 & " and price <= " & price2 & _ ") and status <> 'out of stock' order by price asc" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you.
Is the word "Name" a reserved word in SQL? look at line 10 of my stored procedure. When I use the word "Name"it is highlited in blue by SQL Server? Note I only list part of the stored proc 1 CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetXMLPeopleNames] 23 (4 @Status nvarchar(3)5)6 AS7 SELECT8 PersonId,9 PersonDescription,10 Name,11 UpdateDate,12 UpdateAppUser13 FROM14 Customer WHERE Customer.PersonDescription=@Status15 ORDER BY
I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.
Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client€™s information. In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.
What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.
I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.
Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?
I have Sql Server 2000 and Word from Office Xp. Since a few weeks, I cannotimport Data from my database towards a Word document. I follow theprocedure, but at the end, it tells me Word cannot find the data source. IfI use Excel, well it works perfectly. What is the gig?thanks
Can anyone find what is wrong with this? I think I am using the keyword "Like" correctly. I am trying to enforce some rules by doing this this way. No obvious typos or syntax errors are jumping out at me.
Hi there, i need to know how to cut a string to the nearest word. For example, i've got an article and i need to extract just a part of the beginning, i could use LEFT([content], 250) but there is little chance this will cut on a word. Therefore i need to know if there is a function that will cut to the nearest word in T-SQL or i will simply put a summary field in the database. (I prefer to generate the summary on the fly if possible)
I need to be able to search article in several tables in a MSSQL DB. What is the best way to do a word search? Are there and freebies out there or code examples?
I took a search through the archives for related topics (and got Des in trouble along the way :( ) but couldn't find a directly related thread. If I missed one, feel free to tell me where to go (hey...watch that...only if I MISSED one!)
I wrote what is, essentially, a data verification stored proc that goes out to each of FOUR servers we have - each one running a mirror database. In a nutshell, there is one table that contains a row with a column in it that, if everything has gone well in the daily processing in all 4 databases, will match identically between all 4 DBs.

This was cut-n-pasted here from a log file created by the actual SQL SERVER 2000 job created to run the afore-mentioned stored procedure.
After all that...my quandry is this:
What is the best way to send this info out in an email format to interested parties? Currently I have the job send out an email notification on completion, but that still requires my lazy buttocks to go look at the log file in the job (or, more accurately, on the server in the logfile directory).
I want to get the actual DATA as shown above into the email.
As I see it, my options are: (1) write the data out to a flat file during the run (or, as is done now, into a log file by the SQL Server scheduled job) and then attach that FILE to the email - this still requires my lazy buttocks to OPEN the attachment that comes with the email. ro (2) write the message out a line at a time to a table with an IDENTITY column (used to order them on the select) and a VARCHAR(128) column that each line in the log would be written to. This option allows me to just do a SELECT in the call to xp_sendmail to get the data into the actual email...but I just really hate the idea of creating a permanent table for this cheesy solution.
I tried it with a temp table within my stored proc, but of course, when I made the call to xp_Sendmail, it can't see my temp table in order to select from (mind you, it's not that I mind USING a cheesy table, just that I don't want it to have a lifespan longer than the time I need to use it and toss it aside)
I know the common denominator here is "My Lazy Buttocks", but I really can't understate the laziness of my buttocks, so this is a valid concern ;)
Any thoughts? How do people get status messages like this into an email without using an attachment or a cheesy middleman table?
Sorry, as always, about the miniseries...just trying to set the mood before popping the question ;)
Yesterday I installed MS SQL 2000 for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been sent a database and asked to convert this to MS Access, for most of the data that is ok and I have already managed to do this. My problem is that the database contains MS Word documents stored in some of the tables (field type - image). I need to extract these from the database and get them back to individual Word files, ideally with a file name that relates them to the primary key of the table from which they came.
I have less that 24 hours experience with SQL server and would be very grateful if anyone can explain how I can do this.
Hi all,I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to simply replace instancesof a given string of text wherever it occurs in all tables and columnsfor a given database. I'm using SQL Server 2000 sp3.All the update/replace commands I've looked at so far seem to requireup-front knowledge of the schema. What I need is something thatwouldn't treat the database as structured. For example, it would beidealif SQL Server could dump out the database in an XML format (sincewe don't have a lot of data and lots of disk space I'm not too worriedabout space/performance issues), which I could then run sed orsomething similar to do the replacement and re-import the XML back in.That would be ideal, but so far I haven't seen anything that would letme do that. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Is there a simplerway?thanks,--dan
Is there any recommended way to format and export a report so that it can be modified in Word if purchasing SoftArtisans OfficeWriter is not an option?

Im having a slight problem with my Like statement, I'm just building a simple search/match routine. I have the following SQL statement SELECT TOP(4) tags FROM post WHERE atags LIKE '%test%'that statement is ok, it will return many results with test in it but if I add more then one search word like LIKE '%+test test2+%' or LIKE '%+test%test2+%' All I seem to get is results that only have the exact two tags not any others that may have one of them.How can I get it to display all records that have an instance of any of those words. Any help would be much appreciated.

We are facing an issue while creating a word document through BCP utility of MS SQL Server 2005. Ours is the Survey application where there could be various Respondents with different languages who can receive a Questionnaire through mail. Now the requirement is to send the Questionnaire in Word Document which would look like a form having Radio buttons, check boxes and images etc. controls. To achieve this we have written a Stored procudure in MS SQL Server 2005. In this Stored procedure, we are writing an HTML Code in formatted manner and at the end using BCP utility we create a word document in specific folder. Then we attach the document from that folder in mail using sp_sendmail of MS SQL server 2005 and send it to the Respondent of the Survey. 1> The issue we are facing here is when the Respondent receives the mail and opens the word attachment, it opens the document in designer mode where controls(Radio Button and check boxes) are not clickable. Hence Respondent is not able to fill in the document as a form. However Respondent has to click on 'Exit Designer' button in the menu to make it as interactive form. The requirement is when Respondent opens the Word document it should directly open as Interactive form rather that clicking on 'Exit Desinger' button on menu. 2> Secondly when we create a word document, there are some images that need to be shown as seen below. As of now, in HTML code we have given a path of the Web Server as '<http:WebServerIP/images'. However we would like to know whether there is any way to Embed the images directly in the Word Document rather than referancing them from the Web server path.

I need a help with respect to the storage of documents in SQL server. Is it possible to store Word documents in SQL Server straight away ? If yes, what is the data type that is supported for this kind of storage. How do I read the data , store it & render it ( using both ado & Just TSQL)
