1) SSRS export to Excel functionallity has an important limitation... is terribly slow when exporting huge amount of data to Excel.
2) Subreport are not supported to export in excel. This is some known issue and limitations of SSRS.
Hi,
Apologies for the generic subject heading but I have a client who at my suggestion has implemented a reporting solution using SSRS. However, we are now finding serious limitations with this solution, primarily regarding exporting matrix data to Excel. The major concern is that after exporting matrix data you cannot sort, filter or format properly as we cannot repeat the group data, merged cells is also another big problem.
They are now seriously looking at bringing in different technology to address these problems and I was wondering if anybody had any positive ideas, as to how I can provide a way forward and overcome our issues?
Can I easily add an add-in to the existing export options, does SQL 2008 offer any improvements, are there any 3rd party offerings out there?
Grateful for any advice.
I have a Single SQL Server 2000 Stardard Edition.
I have a cluster server as my front-end webserver.
I have installed Reporting Services Standard edition onto one of my cluster servers, and it seems to work ok.
Trying to join the second server to the database throws back errors that the database already exists. Further investigation says that you need Reporting services Enterprise Edition to achieve this. Can i run Reporting Services Enterprise edition on SQL Standard Edition or do i have to upgrade the whole lot to Enterprise edition to do this?
Thanks in advance
We've just rolled out Reporting services at our organisation, and the users love it. However, it's giving me a headache because, as the only developer in the company and as I have VS.NET, I'm the only one who can author the reports.
Does anyone know of a third party provider that has written a report writing tool with a straight forward UI ( a bit like the access report writer for example) that I can deploy to some users and let them run riot? It's the kind of thing that I expect someone will have done as a pet project, if anyone knows of a freeware version that would be even better.
I'd be very grateful for any pointers.
Thanks
I have got question because time is running but I still don't know how to do it.
So I have 1 group with 3 rows and I would like to put for each row not only group individual number like 1,2,3,4,5 ... etc until end of report. Generally using fuction RowNumber I got 1,2,3 and then 1,2,3 again.
I was trying to write a custom legend text for a chart that I have in SSRS. In the chart I have a Bar chart and a Line chart. I have two values coming from a dataset. One is a running value. All the series values are from year dataset.
I need to get a custom legend text for the three data series looking like this. "2013- Mth", "2014-Mth". Year should be dynamic and coming from the dataset.
I tried writing an expression in the series legend option as shown below.
But I don't get the required text for the chart. I only get the default series text for the legend. If I only write a text without the dynamic year taken from the dataset columns I get the custom text. But not when I concatenate the dynamic year series with the static text. Any property to enable/disable?
Hi,
I'm using the System Center Essential 2007 VHD (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91061). It has an SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services installed as a named instance, SCEVHDSCE. I tried to upgrade the SQL Server to Enterprise Edition, because some of the reports are not working in Express. I started the setup with the SKUUPGRADE=1 switch, it found the SQL Engine and Reporting Services components and offered to upgrade them. Upgrading the SQL Engine was successful, however the Reporting Services failed with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4Reporting ServicesReportServer
ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
I checked the file, it exists and the current account (which is a domain administrator) has permissions. I stopped all services which could use the reporting services, rerun the setup now only for reporting services, but the same error occured. For the third try I started Filemon also, and it captured the following trace.
http://mit.bme.hu/~micskeiz/files/sql-rs-install-error.jpg
From this I guess the following: until row 442 it checks the existense of the target folder and creates the folder for the upgraded instance in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4. In step 443 probably it wants to copy the old config, but it searches them in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2 folder, which should be the location of a default reporting services install. However, the setup of System Center Essentials installs its SQL Server Express Reporting Services in C:Program FilesSystem Center Essentials 2007Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2, thus the setup fails because it is looking for rssrvpolicy.config in the wrong folder.
Do I see the problem correctly?
The setup log can be found here: http://mit.bme.hu/~micskeiz/files/SQLSetup0005_SCEVHD_RS.log
I tried to do a command line install, but I did not found a switch to tell the old location of Reporting Services. Neverthless I tried the following command:
D:>start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=RS_Server INSTANCENAME=SCEVHDSCE UPGRADE=RS_
Server SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
But the setup said that the requested component could not be found.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

1. If i check 'NULL' for that parameter, it has to accept all values,
2. If i give value to that parameter, data depends on that value.

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'?
Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?
Any help is appreciated
I started my Reporting Server and if I use the Internet Explorer as a Administrator everything works fine.But if I don't open it as an admin it calls "rsAccess Denied The user [...] does not have the permission...".Problem is that I want to run it in an SAP Program with an HTML Viewer. how I can get those Permissions ?By the way somehow I'm not able to create or change roles in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

What is the diff between the above 2?
Thanks.
I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,
As SQL Server XE can run on one PC maximum, does it mean that it can't support multi users??? I mean could it be installed on one server and to be used by multiple users connected to server with their PCs?
thanks in advance
what are the limitations in MS SQL Server Express (for a network application)?
We have a sharepoint <\cescesgypdav> that is a WebDAV connection, not an actual fileshare. A SSRS Subscription fails on file write ... "Failure writing file <name here > : The network path was not found" ... to this path.
Can SQL Reporting write to a WebDAV sharepoint?
I was looking around, and I found this info on SQL Server Express:The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log
files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be
attached to the server.Does this mean I can use several different databases in my website, like one separate db containing forum entries, and one with user details and related stuff?
We are primarily a DB2 and Oracle shop. There are movements towards SQL Server for smaller applications. We would like to know if anyone out there has shop standards in determining which database should go with what type of application. What we are looking for are possibly database sizes, number of concurrent users, hardware and software cost, network infrastructure, security, scalability, and development tools. Any information would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,I'm looking for some ball park estimates on when SQL Server might startto break down, and can't find any reliable info. Any insight is appreciated.Basically, the situation is this: The database structure is very simple;just one table with about 15 columns and about 60-75 million rows. There'sno need for massaging data or complex relations, just simple searches onmaybe a max of 5 columns. Out of the gates we'll be looking at having 30concurrent users and rapidly expanding to about 300-400 concurrent users.I might need to rebuild the database on a daily or weekly basisdepending on how often changes are made to a master file. In the past I'vebeen bit in the butt with the absolute crappiness of SQL Server'sreplication, so I'm going to try to avoid that path if I can (plus I alreadyhave some scripts written to delete and rebuild a similar database on anightly basis). Would it be practical to destroy and rebuild a database thissize on a daily basis?The big question is if searching 60-75 million records is practical inSQL server. If so, what kind of machine would I need to get a nearly instantresponse time per search (.2 second or so) when everyone's banging on it atonce? How many concurrent users can I expect to be able to practicallysupport before SQL Server will start to bog down? Thanks for your thoughts,-Ringo
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy is it, Microsoft manage to write operating systems and officeapplications with every bell and whistle facility known to man. Yet,even after years and years of development they still cannot produce adecent version of MS SQL Server, one without a plethora of flaws andlimitations? Personally I'd sack the MS SQL Server Chief Architect,start addressing some fundementals and do what MS do best - copy thebest functionality of their competitors.Here's a few reasons why I feel MS SQL Server is still a load of crap,and will never be many developers RDBMS of choice :1. Can't use domains in Multi-statement table-valued function tabledefinition2. No concept of table.column.datatype MYTABLE.MYCOLUMN%TYPE forfunction / proc parameters, variables. Schema evolution will requirechanges to dep functions / procs.3. Cannot call non extended user defined procedure from within storedproc - prevents code re-use4. No create or replace for functions / procs. Changes to procsrequire either a change from create to alter, or drop then create5. Functions must return result on final statement - requiresexcessive use of local variables. Why!!!???6. No user specifiable date format routines - must use convert withlimited options7. No treewalk mechanism, not easy to traverse hierarchical structure8. Calling procedures with out parameters require user to alsospecifiy which are out params9. Stored Proc recursion limitations to only 32 nested levels, ratherthan monitoring by stack size.10. No on delete set null referential integrity, this is fundementalin relational databases, has to be done by trigger. Yuk.11. No partitioning on db tables12. Cannot raiseerror in stored functions. No way to inform user ofincorrect parameters etc.13. No facility for sub - procs / funcs - for localised codenormalisation.14. No function overloading15. No concept of grouping similar procs / functions into a collectivepackage - can mean 1000s of procs rather than a handful of packages.16. Non standard func / proc calling - proc non parenthesised but,function defined and called with parenthesis17. Limited column name length in table variables / Multi-statementtable-valued function table definitions18. No intersect, minus operators to complement union and union all19. No exception handling - need I say more about this fundementalrequirement?20. No handling for select statements using proc parameters passed inas null e.g.create procedure sp_test.............select @MyID = IDfrom mytablewhere parent_id = @parent_id.If @parent_id is null, select will not return anything even if valuesfor null parent_id exist.21 No boolean type for use in stored procs / funcs. SQL standards doallow booleans (null, FALSE, TRUE)22 No repeat until - (post predicate loops), while loops can performthis but one extra check often has to be performed23 No equivalent to cursor or table %ROWTYPE, when fetching from amany column cursor, all bind variables have to be declaredindividually24. Declarative Delete cascade in SQL Server is at best rubbish - e.g.No table can appear more than once in the list of all cascadingreferential actions that result from the DELETE or UPDATE. Almost allother RDBMS I've tried seems to manage it.Create Table ForKey(MyID int not null identity primary key,MyText varchar(30))goCreate Table Refs(SomeID int not null primary key,RefID1 int not null foreign key references ForKey(MyID) on deletecascade,RefID2 int not null foreign key references ForKey(MyID) on deletecascade)Server: Msg 1785, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__Refs__RefID2__1BFD2C07' ontable 'Refs' may cause cycles or multiplecascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, ormodify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.Server: Msg 1750, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Could not create constraint. See previous errors.25. Domains cannot be altered without dropping all dependencies(stored procs / funcs) even if type isn't changed but say scale andprecision- this is ridiculous. What is the point of domains?26. No "for loop", while loops can perform this, but resultant code isnot as clear or tidy27. Can't use CURDATE() inside stored procs / funcs. How crap isthat?Don't try and make excuses for MS as I have hundreds, anyone else haveany?Jeager
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
This humble grasshopper seeks wisdom.

Whats the limitations of data storage in sqlserver DB. How will be the perforamcne if i have database which will get a data of 400 GB per year and all the data should be there in the table the whole year and then it can be archived.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello everybody
My office gave me assignment to find out the scope & limitations of the two Microsoft database applications - MS Access and MS SQL Server. After the findings, we have to chose the more appropriate database for our new project, which will have a humble start but may grow big in a year or two.
I will apreciate the info in facts & figures (not only in general).
Hi,
I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.
I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.
Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.
Thanks for your help.

I have a Web site that has a database backend, which stores user information. I would like to encrypt the user information in a granular way.
View 16 Replies View RelatedI've created a database design and I'm trying to figure out if it's workable or not. I have 2 tables in particular that are sparse (20 columns, but only a few have data - about 100 bytes/row) but will grow very large - to the tune of 700 million rows.
My question is whether or not there is a problem with SQL Server 2005 having 1.5+ billion rows of data even though it will likely only take up 100 gigs or so on disk. Anyone have experience in large numbers of rows like this? We're still doing testing as far determining how slow queries will get.

I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.
If anyone is using the SQL Server Reporting Services already, would you mind posting some comments about your experience with it?

Hi All,
I'm new to SQL Server Reporting Services.
I managed to install Reporting services ok on a laptop running XP Pro. However I have run into all sorts of problems trying to install it on a Laptop running Vista Business with II7.0
When I tried browsing the reports folder (by using the url: localhost/reports), it could not resolve it.
I got a bt further by using the url: 127.0.0.1/reports. However having part displayed the page it gave me the following error: The underlying connection was closed. An unexpected error occurred on a send.
I googled this error and was told to check the Reporting Configuration tool.
When I did this I got the following error
There was an error while refreshing the reporting services configuration manager. The exception details are:
A connection to the computer cannot be established
Details:
Access denied
However I can connect to SQL Server via Management Studio
