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
Currently, I want to get images of an item in my report for illustration purpose.
Below is my query to get image for item 'GL-10000' in the database. However, I would like to pass a parameter value, '@sItem', from my report so that it would get all related pics of items.
SQL Query:
Select top 1 item_picture_mst.picture from item_picture_mst
where item_picture_mst.item in (select item_all.item from item_all where item_all.item = 'GL-10000')
ORDER BY item_picture_mst.picture DESC;
So, this is my Query for dataset "SalesOrder":
SELECT
SO_Header.Customer
,SO_Header.Status
,SO_Header.Customer_PO
,Customer.Name
,SO_Header.Order_Taken_By
[Code] ...
I would like to have a parameter on my report to Select by Order_Taken_By. My attempt at that is here:
Dataset called OrderTaken:
select distinct SO_Header.Order_Taken_By
from SO_Header
Under the report Parameter Properties named @Order, under Available Values
Selected "Get Values from a query"
I have DataSet: OrderTaken
Value Field: Order_Taken_By
Label Field: Order_Taken_By
The values of the field Order_Taken_By is all text characters, no integer values.
Running the inital Query by itself yields results. When I add the parameter, I can make a selection, but now I get no results, even though there should be values for the choice I've chosen.
Can anybody please let me know if cascading parameter feature of Report Designer can be implemented in Report Builder in any possible way (using filter or report parameters).
We have a scenario where the end user wants to create an adhoc report with two input parameters (or filters). Both the parameters will be selected from a list of available values at run time. The problem is that the second parameter's list of values should be populated based on what is selected in the first parameter.
Thanks in advance.

I am using report builder thru LocalHostReport . I want a drill through report by using Report Builder and cube . I created the report but unfortunatly I cannot create a drill through report using parameters .How can I pass parameter in report1 to jump into report2 .
When I running the report after giving drill through properties in report the following error will occure.
'The 'DrillthroughSourceQuery' parameter is missing a value
How can I create a report using parameter for drill down in report builder
I am expecting one answer from u expertise
I installed the hot fix RS2005-KB920794-x86-ENU.exe, what supposes to solve the problem that "selection of multiple values in parameters of a report" generated in Report Builder is possible. Unfortunatly, this issue is not solved by the hot fix.
Could you please help me.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Hi All,
Is there is any way to display the User selected parameter information if the parameter is multiselect ?
I was able to display if the parameter is single valued but if it is multivalued (list), i was not able to .
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
I have used my parameter value in where clause of my dataset control SQL query. When I choose a single value in my multiple-value parameter then I get output as expected. Hovewer when I choose multuple values I get an arror:
Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
----------------------------
Query execution failed for dataset 'DATABASE'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
I am convinced that it's a syntax problem. Is there a way I can change syntax of data output from query:
select @parameter
I need output to be like: value, value, value ... etc.
The dataset control query looks something like the following:
select
ID,
a,
b,
c,
d
from DATASET.dbo.Table
where ID in (select @parameter)
I have been searching through google for weeks to solve this and got this far and got stuck. Is it possible at all to achieve what I am looking for?
Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).
___________________________________
| ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION | VALUE |
___________________________________
| 1 | INDEX1 | LOCATION1 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 2 | INDEX1 | LOCATION2 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 3 | INDEX1 | LOCATION3 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 4 | INDEX2 | LOCATION1 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 5 | INDEX2 | LOCATION2 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 6 | INDEX2 | LOCATION3 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 7 | INDEX3 | LOCATION1 | 1 |
___________________________________
| 8 | INDEX3 | LOCATION2 | 0 |
___________________________________
| 9 | INDEX3 | LOCATION3 | 1 |
___________________________________
The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.
select
a.PRODUCT_INDEX
, a.LOCATION1(VALUE)
, b.LOCATION2(VALUE)
, c.LOCATION3(VALUE)
from
[Code] .....
__________________________________________________________________
| PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)|
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX2 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________
I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.
select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)
__________________________________________________________________
| PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)|
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
__________________________________________________________________
Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:
__________________________________________________
| JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) |
__________________________________________________
| INDEX1 | 1 | 1 |
__________________________________________________
| INDEX3 | 1 | 0 |
__________________________________________________
Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.
Good day,
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?
Thanks in advance
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 ***
View 1 Replies View RelatedHI, 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.
Am I missing something?

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.
Hello everyone,
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.
Thank you,

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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can we view the query that is fired on the Report builder to debug as i am finding some error in data...
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn 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?
Thanks!
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.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Query preparation failed. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Controls)
------------------------------
I am sure there isn't syntax error in the query string because I only add a space after a comma.
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.
How can I resolve this problem ???
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.
Thankyou whoever helps

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.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Hi,
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????
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
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?
Thanks,
Dana
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.
appreciate any help :) tnx
Hello,
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

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.

Good afternoon all,
I have created a cube in Analysis Services with a time dimension named Time. The data is only needed at the month level, so the fields in the table that the dimension is based on are [DTE MM] and [DTE YR]. In Visual Studio 2005 or in SQL Server Mgmt Studio I can browse the dimension and I see that Time has the following attributes: Year and Month both Regular attributes and Time (Key attribute). There is also a hierarchy named [Year - Month] and if I browse that it looks good dril down from All to Year to Month.
However, when I point my Reporting Services Datasource to the cube, and start Query Builder, I see two dimensions, [DTE MM] and [DTE YR] and no Time dimension.
[DTE MM] has attributes [DTE MM].[Month], [DTE MM].[Time], [DTE MM].[Year], [DTE MM].[Year - Month].
[DTE YR] has attributes [DTE YR].[Month], [DTE YR].[Time], [DTE YR].[Year], [DTE YR].[Year - Month]
This is causing me huge problems in my report. I need to use a date range in the query. To do this, I created Query Parameters and refer to Report Parameters that will be passed in. For example, I use ="[DTE YR].[Year - Month].[Year].&[" + Parameters!StartYear.Value + "].&[" + Parameters!StartMonth.Value +"]" (thanks to Simon Philips) as the query parameter for the Start Year Month, but if I use the [DTE YR].[Year - Month] in my SELECT, the data is not sliced in my query results. That is to say that the Year and Month show correctly, according to the date range, but the Measure is equal for each month and is equal to the total for the cube. To slice the data, I have to use [DTE YR].[Year].[Year] and [DTE MM].[Month].[Month] in my select, but then the data is shown for every month, i.e. the date range is ignored.
What am I doing wrong, or is this a quirk of RS that I can work around?
Thanks,
Kathryn
I was using the MDX Query Builder to create MDX queries for a SSRS report. I'm not sure what happened, but when I tried to create another dataset against the cube, the "Drop Column Fields Here" and "Drop Row Fields Here" areas were no longer available for me to drop attributes onto.
I have restarted VS, rebooted, you name it, I've tried it (short of re-installing). Has anyone encountered this and how did you "fix" it.
BTW: In order to continue working, I decided to use ProClarity to build the MDX for me and when I tried to paste it into the MDX editor, I get the following error: "The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. ..". So, as I've seen from other posts, you can't use "any" MDX in the MDX Query Builder.

Hello,
I wrote a data mining plug-in algorithm in SSAS and now I am trying to view the lift chart in Management Studio. The studio gives the following error:
"The Data Mining Query builder control cannot be initialized due to the following problem:
Deserialization failed: Multiple definition of element 'Column12' causes the content model to become ambigious. A content model must be formed such that during validation of an element information item sequence, the particle contained directly, indirectly or implicitly therein with which to attempt to validate each item in the sequence in turn can be uniquely determined without examining the content or attributes of that item, and without any information about the items in the remainder of the sequence."
I really do not understand what i did wrong. Can anybody help me?
Thanks, Joris
