Pagesize Of Report Is Much Larger Than Expected When Printed
Jun 14, 2006
I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.
When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????
Am I missing some setting somewhere?
Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........
Is it possible for me to pass some parameters to the ssrs server and the server create the report and spit it out on a specified printer?
I have a situation where I am very limited in regards to rendering and printing. So, if I could just give ssrs some commands and it do the rest, that would be awesome.
I am using SQL 2005 reporting to produce reports for my employer. I have run into a problem with characters not printing properly after a report is generated. On a report of names, the last name "O'Neil" is being printed "O?Neil" (without the quotes) the ' is being replaced by a ? character. This problem only happens in one section of the report and not in other sections. The report looks correct (ie: The name is O'Neil) on a screen view and when exporting the data to Excel and as a pdf file both have the name "O'Neil" displayed properly.
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
I have developed some report in Sql Server Reporting services my Page orientation is portrait that is report height and width are 8.5 and 11 respectively and margins are set to 0.3 in when it is printed the pages are printed more that actually viewed Pages.
We have an asp application that runs the reportserver URL for the selected report, passing it through parameters. This opens the report viewer and the report runs.
The problem im having is that one report is not working as expected. When the report is run from report manager, everything works fine. The links do what they're meant to (they link to other reports passing through parameters). When the report is run from our asp application with the report viewer, the links fail.... they dont pass through the correct values or sometimes dont pass through a value at all.
Were the report viewer and report manager applications developed seperately?
By default, Microsoft sqlserver has a pagesize of 8k. Is it possible to change this default pagesize? If yes how can I change it after SQlserver is installed. What are some of the factors to take in to consideration before changing it? For example the operating system etc.
Hi, I have declared an internal paramter and given the default non queried value as
select @split = case when max(rowid)%2 = 1 then (max(rowid)/2) + 1 else max(rowid)/2 end
and when i run it i am getting the error -- The property 'DefaultValue' of report parameter split doesnt have the expected type. What should i do to solve it. Any help is appreciated.
where he used a BCP shell script to pass outfile specs.
I'm using SQL query writer ODBCview and would like to view the data before loading it into a file, but I'm getting a ?crunch? error.
In other languages you can :
set linesize X (518, in my case) set space 0 set newpage 0 set pagesize 0 set heading off etc for a clean flat file load.
I'm getting errors using the set command; I think it may be a SQL/Plus function, not native to SQL.
Are there similar functions for setting page specs? Thank you guys so very much. I'm a noob (4 days old at this now!) and am in awe of the support you provide.
Hi,I have setup a report model and am ready to deploy it for the first time. I have had no issues deploying my report definitions so presumably this should be alright.However, trying to deploy it gives this error:

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.
I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.
Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?
I have a couple reports that have parameters on them. Problem is when the report is printed, the parameters are not displayed.
To solve this, I have added the selected values to the header section of the report in a text box. I now want to find away to hide these values when the report is being viewed on screen but visible when printed. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I am using sql server 2000 developer editionMy table defintion is as followin: CREATE TABLE query_table (id IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,qtext char (4000) )When i try to insert data with length more than 256 characterit only inserts only the first 256 characters.Please, let me know why this is happening.
I have a situation where I need to migrate data from an older platform to a newer one. The data from the old system(s) will be available on DAT tapes. All database construction on the new system will be identical to the old one in size and schema, except for one table (call it "ARCHIVE").
If the ARCHIVE table on the old system is 210MB, and the ARCHIVE table on the new system has the same attributes but has been expanded to 380MB in size, can I simply restore the dump for the old table into the new ARCHIVE?
Empirically it works (I have done it with apparent success two times) but I seem to recall that backups are done by pages, and I'm concerned that there may be conditions not being met by simply doing the restore the way I'm planning to do it.
Also, are there any tests or checks built into SQL which I can use to check table integrity on the target ARCHIVE table after the restore?
i want to be alerted when any of my databases is more the xxxGB.
i know one method to do that and it is with the alerts in the SQL agent Performance condition ,but with this alert i needs to created alert monitor for every DB.
I have two int fields in my database, CEOAnnualBonus and CEOBonus, and I want to return the value of whichever one has the larger value as CEOBonusCombined. I thought using COALESCE would do the trick like below but there are many cases where either CEOAnnualBonus or CEOBonus have a zero value instead of NULL and it doesn't work.
SELECT COALESCE(CEOAnnualBonus, CEOBonus) AS CEOBonusCombined FROM tbenchmarktemp WHERE Ticker='F'
I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.
I have written code to combine, delete redundant data in my system. The table structure remains the same, except I changed some INTs to TINYINTs.
When I do sp_spaceused, it tells me that number of rows is smaller(which is correct), but the datasize, and index_size is significantly larger AFTER the deletions.
I tried using shrink, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
When I right-click the database, and choose PROPERTIES, it also confirms that the database got significantly larger.
I am confused about how deleting data and changing to TINYINTs could make my database bigger. What would cause this?
Here is my situation... I have 2 fairly large databases. Full backups are 83gb & 63gb. I am in the process of moving these database to a new data center. I've taken full backups of these databases and shipped them to the new center. I have been taking transaction log backups (larger db every 24 hrs smaller db every 15 min ... from log shipping).
I want to restore these databases in the new data center. I've gone ahead and restored the dbs in the new location.
Question final cutover.. can I just apply the transaction logs to the databases on final cut-over or do I have to restore the database backup first then apply the transaction logs?
Is there an other way to do this that I'm missing?
I have replication setup between our main site and a remote one, and have recently noticed that the database at the remote site's .MDF file is about 3 times as large as the main site's. This doesn't seem to make sense since essentially all of our data is replicated between the two servers. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what is safe to do to shrink the remote file?
I created SDF database files for "SQL compact" with a size larger than 128 MB (which is default for creation). Now when I try to open these files with VS2005 I get the error "The size of the databasfile exceeds the configured maximum...Required Max Databse size (in MB; 0 if unknown)" (translated from german). The real problem is that I can not change the connectionstring in VS, cause all field which show the connectionstring are readonly (greyed out). I know I have to set the option "Max Database Size = 512" or so in the connectionstring to get the things runnning, but don't know any way to do that in VS2005. My attempt to access the SDF files when copied to the device via active sync results in the same error message.
This seems for me to be a design flaw, cause I can not add the optional parameter to the connection string (even not in the details form, where only "DataSource" and "Password" fields are displayed. - Does anybody know a solution in VS2005? - Does anybody have a workaround for me? - Does anybody know where the connectionstrings of VS2005 are stored, so that I may "hack" the connection string?
Hi,We have troubles when we try to use the 'dbuse' calls with databaseslarger than 28 characters, looks like the dbuse truncates the nameafter it.Any ideas ???
We have been trying for a while to use Power BI tools (Power Query, Power BI Designer (Desktop) and Power BI Designer (Cloud) in line with larger data sources ( 2-7m records in fact table). Unfortunately up to now with unsatisfactory results. It seems that these tools are just not designed to handle this kind of data volumes?
To my understanding it seems that the approach with PowerBI components is to always try to create a local (or cloud based) cache that only has a limited capacity. 2m+ records already seem to be exceeding this limit. So as opposed to firing off a query on demand (for example only based on distinct filter options as opposed to entire fact set) only the intermediary cache of the model can be used.
Our initial focus was to use a normalized table in SQL Server with around 4m records. First problem is that Power Query/Power BI Designer fails to provide a complete list of the distinct filter items:
This I can understand in some way as doing a distinct on a large data set like that is not trivial. As a workaround I could imagine to setup a star scheme dimension table with the distinct "dimension members". I.e. that filters are driven by this table which has only a few thousand rows. The filters there are then applied to the fact table. I haven't found a way to do this effectively with Power Query.
Another option that we have tried was using the cloud based Power BI service in conjunction with a SQL Cloud Service with the same data set. That unfortunately didn't work. The setup of the source works fine but as soon as we try to start a query by dragging a value field on the dashboard errors occur:
I have an existing Access database that I need to transfer over to a more powerful back-end due to the need for larger size capacity. We need to be able to have a backend that can exist up to just about any size due to us scanning in documents by ODBC. With Access I know I was limited to about 4gb size and when split onto my current SQL server I have heard I will be stuck at 10gb? If so can you recommend a better backend, but my question is about the front end. I hear Windows WPF can be linked into SQL server but does this limit the size as well?
I created a package getting data from files and database sources, doing some transformations, retrieving dimension id's and then inserting it into a fact table.
Running this package with a limited amount of data (about a couple of 100.000 records) does not result in any errors and everything goes fine.
Now running the same package (still in debug mode) with more data (about 2.000.000 rows) doesn't result in any errors as well, but it just stops running. In fact, it doesn't really stop, but it doesn't continue as well. If I've only been waiting for some minutes or hours, I could think it's still processing, but I waited for about a day and it still is 'processing' the same step.
Any ideas on how to dig further into this in order to find the problem? Or is this a known problem?
Books Online gives a way to send a message larger than the VARCHAR max of 8000 chars, but the @query argument to xp_sendmail is a simple text string and my data is much more complex, and formatted. Also BOL shows an example using a temporary text file, but it is not clear precisely how you write your insert statements. I tried the following, which writes out all the data and sends it ok except, after each row, there is about a page of blank spaces. What is wrong with my syntax?
SET LANGUAGE British GO DECLARE @msgstr VARCHAR(80) DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(80) DECLARE @PMID INT DECLARE @forename VARCHAR(30) CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text) SET @msgstr = 'THE FOLLOWING QUOTES ARE CURRENTLY MARKED AS PENDING:' INSERT ##texttab SELECT @msgstr DECLARE C2 CURSOR FOR SELECT ProjMgrID FROM surdba.SVY_QUOTES WHERE StatusID=6 OPEN C2 FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @PMID WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN IF @PMID > 1000 SELECT @forename = ISNULL(Forename,' ') FROM surdba.SVY_PERSONNEL_GENERAL WHERE EmployeeID = @PMID ELSE SET @forename = ' ' INSERT ##texttab values (RTRIM(@forename)) FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @PMID END CLOSE C2 DEALLOCATE C2 INSERT ##texttab values ( ' - This information is autogenerated from the Survey database.') SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab' EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'Robin Pearce', @subject = 'ALL PENDING QUOTES', @query = @cmd, @no_header = 'TRUE' DROP TABLE ##texttab GO
Would appreciate any help on this one, I do not have time to learn HTML, thanks Robin Pearce
I have a SQL server with multiple instances on it and would like to move one of them to a drive with more storage.
I have SQL 2010 on a server with 2 partitions.
The database is located on the C: drive (original build) but the drive isn't partitioned to handle a db of the size that this one will grow to. I would like to move the full DB instance to another partition.
We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
