" When connecting to the server with a pre-4.1 client program, use an account that still has a pre-4.1-style password. Reset the password to a pre-4.1 style for each who must use a pre-4.1 client program."
What is "pre-4.1-style password"? Can you give an example for a "pre-4.1-style password"?
I want to make a CSS Style solution for my reports. I have few ideas related to this, changing the report properties on the fly, but I am not sure for which I should go for.
- We know that we can put expression on reports almost everywhere, and can also call custom code for setting up those expressions. i.e.
Public Shared Function GetValue(ByVal Key As String) As String
Dim myDataReader As SqlDataReader Dim mySqlConnection As SqlConnection Dim mySqlCommand As SqlCommand
mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=tempMIQB") mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [Properties] Where PropertyName='" & Key & "'", mySqlConnection) mySqlConnection.Open() myDataReader = mySqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
If myDataReader.Read() Then GetValue = myDataReader.Item("PropertyValue").ToString Else GetValue = "None" End If
End Function
and in textbox or any where I can say =Code.GetValue("BGColor") or from .NET dll.
For going further on with this idea I can create an .NET dll and get the list from database or XML file. (Please give suggestions for performance/scalability issue.)
- second idea is to write a custom application (script) which can go through all the reports and change the color and fonts and every thing.
- third is to use parameters and use Array.IndexOf method to search for the value, but in this case i need to add dataset to all reports and, I think we cannot access report properties i.e. Parameters from custom code, just to make a generic function to access parameter value.
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure! However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it. If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane! I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is: DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

MySQL allowed INSERT statements that looked like this: INSERT INTO Table SET col1 = value1, col2 = value2, col3 = value3 Basically this closely matched the format of the UPDATE statements. Here is why this was good: I could do something like this: if (RecordExists == false) { SQLquery = "INSERT INTO Table SET "; } else { SQLquery = "UPDATE Table SET "; } SQLquery += "col1 = value1, "; SQLquery += "col2 = value2, "; SQLquery += "col3 = value3, "; SQLquery += "col4 = value4 "; if (RecordExists == true) { SQLquery += "WHERE id = " + ourID; }
If I had a good 50 columns then it means I can reuse a sizable chunk of code for both INSERT and UPDATE statements (since both use the same general format). Whereas if I have to use "INSERT INTO Table(columns) VALUES (values)" then I'm look at duplicating a lot of code. Does MS-SQL support something similar to "INSERT INTO SET"? How are others dealing with this? Thanks, Gabe----------------------
There is no style provided for dd.mm.yyyy in SQL Server documentation. Is there any way to do such conversion with this constant value of format dd.mm.yyyy ?

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!
Is it possible to make a rectangle appear sunk or raised? I've had a play with the different border style settings but they don't appear to make any difference! Can anyone also tell me what the Groove, Ridge, Inset etc are supposed to do?
I have 2 details section in my report. I want to set bottom border style to solid for the first detail section if the second detail section is empty. And set to none if the second detail section has value. Basically I want to show the line below the first detail section and hide the second detail section if the second detail section is empty. otherwise I want to show the line only below the second detail section.
I am able to hide the detail section. But can't set the border style using expression.
I am making a prog that needs to import many records from a spreadsheet on a local computer through asp.net into sql server is there a simple command to do this or is there information on how to do this please give all the information that you can thank you
My manager wants me to produce a legacy dts-style display of an executing package in an asp.net grid view. It would be color-coded the same way: red, green, black showing the status of each step with start and finish time. Any ideas on how to do this?
Im using embedded SS2000 DTS packages in SSIS. These legacy packages use Dynamic Properties Tasks to pick up connection settings from a named ini file. The name of that ini file needs to change occasionally. To date the only way we have of doing this is resetting all the dynamic properties to point at the new ini file. Unfortuntely there are a lot of connections and properties and there is no budget to recreate these packages in SSIS. There must be an easier way?!
Does anyone know how to quickly change Dynamic Properties Tasks to look at a new ini?
Seems like a long shot, but I'd really like to show "CO2" (chemical formula for carbon dioxide) with the "2" as a subscript, in a report text box. The "CO2" would be embedded as part of a sentence, e.g. "The CO2 emissions..." Is there any way to do this?
I have two tables that are pretty standard I think. Table a has product descriptions and one of those fields is a price. I have a second table that contains fees based on the price. so table B looks like this.
min max fee 0 19.99 2.50 20.00 49.99 3.50 50.00 1000.00 5.50
the max ends up around a million just to be sure we cover all prices. my problem is this I need a very efficient query to poll all the values from A and the correct value from B. All the attempts I have made are not working. I also have to make sure this query is extremely efficient as it is executed several times a minute. If there is a better way in general to structure this I am all ears. I wanted to avoid placing the fees in the product table as the fees are updated often, but if its the only way to get this to work, then that is where I will go.

I am building reports using Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have to build more than 20 reports. I felt it is tedious to format each report individually. Is there a way to include external style sheets in reports?
I run into a wirt asp.net sittuation, when coding my ASP.NET page using the traditional old way like this, it runs very fast: Dim thisSQL =" SELECT strAuthorName, strTitle, strContent, lngChapter, tblKiemHiepChapters.strReference FROM tblKiemHiepAuthors A " & _ " INNER JOIN tblKiemHiepTitles B ON A.ID=lngAuthorID " & _ " INNER JOIN tblKiemHiepChapters ON B.ID=lngTruyenID " & _ " AND tblKiemHiepChapters.ID="& e.CommandArgument Dim thisConnection As SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DNS2")) Dim thisCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(thisSQL, thisConnection) thisConnection.Open() dim objReader As SqlDataReader = thisCommand.ExecuteReader() objReader.Read() if objReader.HasRows then if (objReader.Item("strTitle") Is DBNull.Value ) Then thisHeading = Replace(thisHeading, "#HEADING#", "" ) else ''''''''''' end if................ but when I used VISUAL STUDIO.NET way of binding datasouce like below: it runs so damn slow. do you guys know what the problem is? if you need to see the complete code please let me know. this happen when my ntext field that contains lots of text (the code post heredoes not necessary have the same functionality) <asp:SqlDataSource ID="GetContentByChapterID" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:nangmoi_cnn_string %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [lngChapter], [strReference], [strContent] FROM [tblKiemHiepChapters] WHERE (ID = @ChapterID)"><SelectParameters><asp:SessionParameter DefaultValue=0 Name="ChapterID" SessionField="ChapterID" Type="Int32" /></SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
Help!I'm trying to understand the new ANSI join syntax (after many years ofcoding using the old style).

Problem: I have borders that are hidden (Border Style=None) that appear ok in HTML but when Render in PDF they appear when they should not. Basically I am using a few columns like TABS in one Major Column in my report in combination with Merge Cells.
In Sql2000 -> There is no problem in the HTML or PDF rendering.
In Sql2005SP1 -> The problem occurs in two forms:
a) Problem Only Shows up in the PDF Creation call in our ASPX in IIS
b) Problem occurs in both the ASPX call and the Reporting Services Report Upload (Export to PDF)
To date I have found no way of defining styles that can be shared either between objects or between reports.
I am looking for the concept of the rdl making a reference to an external css (or equivalent) file. This would allow for me to define a font or image external to the rdl and shared among all my reports. Currently if I want to change my header image, I need to edit 50 rdl files across the reporting suite.
What work arounds are available for this? Is this a coming feature enhancement? If so when? Does the reporting team publish a list of future enhancments?
I know crystal and few other reporting packages have the concept of css or style external to the report.
Hello - we are using the custom security extension and SSL on our reporting site. Everything works great except for the logon.aspx page. It functions fine but it won't display the embedded styles or images on the page. Any clue why that would be? We get a white page with broken image links.
Our uilogin.aspx page shows styles and images. We've cut and pasted this code directly into logon.aspx but it still doesn't work. I have verified that the files are in the ReportServer folder.
I am creating a simple line chart using SSRS 2005. The chart will display date vs. cumulative enrollment. In the line chart I want to display two lines. One line represents expected enrollment data and the other represents actual enrollment data. I would like the expected data line to be a dashed line and the actual line to be a solid line. I have a single dataset that contains data for both lines. I have added a column to the dataset that acts as a flag to indicate whether the data point is expected or actual. I have dropped the enrollment field from my dataset into "Drop data fields here". I have dropped the date field from my dataset into "Drop category fields here". I have dropped the flag field from my dataset into "Drop series fields here".
When I change the style of the series it changes the styles of both lines. How can assign a different line style to each line? Is this even possible with the way I have set up the chart? Is there another way to set up the chart to accomplish what I am trying to do?
