Problem Adding More Then One Table In The Query Builder
Jun 6, 2006
Hi
i have a database with several tables and i want to create a Insert query. and i do this by adding the tables to a dataset and create the relations between them and now i click on the table i want to create a query for and select Add Query. and then the TableAdapter Query configuration Wizard pops-up. but the problem is that in the query builder i can add ONLY ONE table, why? i need to add more than one table in order to make my query.
This is how this problem accured: At first i had to two databases, the first database i created myself and there i had all my tables and the second database was the one that contained all the membership info(this database is the one that visual studio creates automaticly for you when u are using the membership thing ASPNETDB.MDF). so i decided to only have one database and i re-created all my tables in the aspnetdb.mfd database, that is where this problem accured, that i can add only one table in the query builder.
I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code: SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName, People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID] FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID] WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)
Hi all, I am stuck in the following situation, I have following query:
SELECT EM1.VALUE AS 'P_ABC', EM2.VALUE AS 'P_XYZ', COUNT(EM1.VALUE) AS 'COUNTS' FROM TABLE_1 EM1, TABLE_1 EM2 WHERE EM1.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'ABC' ) AND EM2.EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID IN (SELECT GID FROM TABLE_3 WHERE NAME = 'XYZ' ) AND EM1.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID = EM2.DOCUMENT_METADATA_ENTRY_GID group by EM1.VALUE,EM2.VALUE
There is foreign key relation between EXTENDED_PROPERTY_GID OF TABLE_1 AND GID FROM TABLE_3
Now, I want to create an ad hoc report but the problem is when I add EM1.VALUE to display the P_ABC, I am not able to add EM2.VALUE after that, may be because refere to same column of same table. I have to add EM1.VALUE and EM2.VALUE both to display result but I am not able to do it.
What is the solution for this problem ? Its kind of urgent.
I would like to add additional string functions and other types of functions to the expression builder in SQL Server Integration Services. Right now the list of functions is relatively limited to such things as FINDSTRING, RIGHT, LEN, etc.
When I launch a report using the following url, and then make changes to the report and save it, Reportbuilder is creating another report with the same name but also including the .rdl within the name itself.. therfore I now have two reports now displayed within the report manager
I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
I typically use Report Designer, but I have a new project requiring Report Builder 3.0. In Report Designer (BIDS), I can take more complex expressions (ie SWITCH with 5 or 6 options), and put each pairing on a new line to be able to better read the code.
In the Expression Editor in Report Builder, pressing the ENTER key on my keyboard closes the Expression dialog box and saves the changes.
Is there any way to add line returns in the code to make it more readable? The expression editor wraps when it runs out of room, but this doesn't make it more readable, in some cases, it wraps in the middle of a field name, making it even less readable.
How can I give default value to a field in a table which is already created, i.e. there is a table test and it have field test1 which is int(4). Now, I want to give a default value 0 to this field. As I am not able to access Enterprise Manager, I want to do it using Query Analyzer. How can I do this using Query Analyzer?
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report] @StartDate DATETIME, @EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.
Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.
I would like to know if there are any good MDX query builder tools out there. The one that is shipped with AS does not suffice in that it does not support more than 2 axes. Also if there are any are there any that make life a little easier in that they are drag and drop and all but create the statement for you?
I need to create a matrix in SSRS using cubes and in doing so need to write MDX queries, not my strong point. Are there any tools that can help me "auto create" the statement with drag and drop functionality?
Hi people!I'm looking for an SQL query builder application that helps me constructSELECT queries with full respect of underlaying relational model. It wouldbe nice if the app is database independant because my work covers MSSQL,mySQL and Oracle DB.OpenSource and/or comercial suggestions are welcome!*** thanx ***
HI, in a lookup component, when I want to use the query builder, it will show tables from a different connection manager than the one I picked for being the lookup source. E.g. connection manager A points to a schema that contains table1 and table2 and connection manager B points to a schema that contains table 5 and table 6.
When I configure the lookup component to use connection manager B, I still see connection manager A tablles; isntead of seeing table 5 and 6 I see table 1 and 2.
hi,i can do"select * from products where name = @name" kind of statements in query builder but"select * from products where name LIKE @name" dosen't work!" any ideas? i'm using sql server express. thanks
Hi All, For one of our projects, we are supposed to write a query builder to display reports in tabular format. For the filter criteria ( i.e where clause ) user can select from a list of predefined columns and assign conditions to it. For example, user can select 'CustomerName' as the column and specify condition where name begines with 'A'. Similarly he can also select ouput columns Problem The columns that user selects can come from different tables. We are planning to store mapping between tables and columns and also their primary and foreign keys in an xml file. But I would want to understand how to build the join clause. For example, say there are 4 tables customer, customer address, order, and items. Say user wants the number of items purchased by each customer who stays in 'Delhi'. 1. In output column he selects customer.name and count(items.id) 2. In filter criteria he selects address.city = 'delhi' How would the query builder know that to join customer and items, order also has to be joined. Any pointers would be helpful.
I hope you mind a questions from an inexperienced SQL 2000 user.
I don't have much experience with building queries for SQL2000. So I am lookinf for a software tool that will help me create simple queries. I'm also looking for an online (either on the web or a downloadable program) query reference to help remine me how to make these queries.
I am trying to emulate the "Find unmatched Records" Access Query using DTS. I have a small table with a list of codes that I need to use to exclude records in my text export.
I have created a left outer join and set the criteria for the joined field in the 'right' table to be null. I am repeatedly getting no records as a result.
Wouldn't the joined field in the right table for unmatched records by default be null? I'm stumped as to why this seamingly simple process won't work for me. I have attached the select statement for your review.
On pages 123, 124 of Data Mining with SQL Server 2005, I can't finish the example. When I add 'Monthly' to the end of the expression "[Home Owners].[Theater Freq]" in the Criteria/Argument column, I usually get an error message saying the syntax is incorrect when I switch to the Results view. If I place a dot after the original expression, like this: [Home Owners].[Theater Freq].Monthly, I get an error message that "The dot expression is not allowed in the context at line 4, column 23. Use sub-SELECT instead." What am I doing wrong?
Either edit the query from Dataset edit dialog or in the query builder (switch the design mode to show the query string), I can't save the query and always get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
The query cannot be retrieved from the query builder. Check the query for syntax errors. Reporting Services will continue to use the most recent valid query.
NOTE: I am using Brian Larsons book Delivering Business Intelligence with SQL Server 2005. I am stuck on page 588 - step 20. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate
Once all the Dimensions & attributes I have selected are dragged into the query area in MDX query builder no data is displayed. There is a message: "No rows found. Click to execute the query." - clicking does nothing.
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
We have SQL Server 6.5 with an Access 8.0 front-end. We are about to re-write our front-end in VB6 using RDO. Obviously Access has a nice fast and easy to use query builder. My question therefore is - is there any such query builder that can be used within VB6 to simplify query writing ? Or do I have to write all query's and and stored procedures using straight SQL and/or stored procedures. I do not want to use Visdata as it doesn't appear up to the task.
Hi, I am trying to generate a report and I am using the query builder feature in SQL Server Reporting Services.
I just entered a simple query (actually the query builder generated it for me):
SELECT ID, pname FROM jira393.project
and it seems to run fine but when I click "OK" to go to the next step, I keep getting an invalid object name error: 'jira393.project'
I don't know what is wrong right now since when I run it, it seems to display the correct information but trying to go to the next step displays that invalid object error.
I have created a model from the underlying database. Now I want the capability to write SQL Queries when creating reports instead of drag and drop the reports. Is there anyway we can achieve it in MS Report Builder. I would like to know the options available in MS world on this.
Is their a way when creating a Report Builder model to set a query timeout? Similar to what can be done when creating a Reporting DataSet in VS.NET during report development.
My ultimate goal is to be able to limit ad-hoc report users running Report Builder from waisting resources on my SQL instance. This has nothing to do with a report being published to a report server and setting a reports execution time limit.
In my reports I want Date attribute to be added only in the data set and not in the query builder, As if I am adding it in the query builder report is taking very long time to generate and I am getting around 7000 pages of data which is absurd.So, if I can add it only in the data set then I can use filters for my reports and get only the required data. So, is there any way where in which I can add the Date attribute only in the dataset and not in the query builder????
I have a question about using the query builder, or just straight sql, to create expressions. My first example caused the query builder to generate a query configuration error:
Expression: EIM_REQUISITION_DETAILS.EST_UNIT_COST * EIM_REQUISITION_DETAILS.REQRD_QTY AS COST
Syntax error: Expecting "," or "FROM" after column alias or "*"
Initially I thought I was dead in the water but then I decided to just run it anyway and it worked! I got my cost. OK so fine the query tool doesn't recognize some sql expressions. Because I am trying to make a large flat file I thought I'd concatenate 2 fields to generate a recognizable requisition, which everyone knows is the year followed by a hyphen then the req number:
My old Access query had this: Req: Right([REQ_YR],2) & "-" & [REQ_NO]
and I tried to change it to this: substring (EIM_REQUISITIONS.REQ_YR from 2 for 2) || '-' || EIM_REQUISITIONS.REQ_NO AS REQ
So apparently my older sql book doesn't have the syntax right. Since I plan to do more of this could someone point me to a reliable book or site that could help me with sql syntax?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I am sure there will be a simple answer to this but it has got me stumped.
Having to move over to Vista with my new machine so I am having to switch to 2005 version for my development but still upload to a 2000 server.
I have had a look at 2005, like the new Management Studio, however I ahve a couple of problems which I can not find the answer to.
Firstly, the SQL Query Builder, where has it gone? I often have to import/export data from Excel files and used to use the SQL query builder to create my queries. If I want to copy all columns it is fine but if I want to import select columns I find it easier to view a list and then just add the ones I want.
Am I missing something here?
Secondly, copying stored procedures, before when running DTS ther were three options, Copy Tables/Views, Data Using Query and Copy Objects.
I used the copy opbjects a lot as it was a very quick way of transfering a group of tables and stored prcoedures that I had created. This appears to have now been replaced with Copy Database, which copies everthing, can can not be used to copy from SQL2005 to SQL2000.
If I want to copy multiple stored procedures from SQL2005 to SQL2000 how is it done now? I have tried finding out but have not been sucessful.
I'm having a heck of a time with named queries. At this point I just want a proof of concept in my DSV. I have a bunch of tables added to the DSV, and I would like to add a named query to it so the user can pick from the name query in report builder. What has to be done to make it appear in the report builder?
