I realise this'll probably seem like a very silly question, but is there any way of changing the font and font size in a query window in MS SQL Server Management Studio Express?
It would just make life a lot easier if I could see more of the text!
When i make a qeury with some data of the type numeric, how do i make the output come with digit grouping symbol. Like 1.000.000,00.
Now the output looks like 1000000,00.
I have 2 issues wih the appearance of my report both in the preview tab and when I deploy.
1. My report contains a subreport and the subreport appears indented from the left edge of the main report. How can I stop this? I won't the subreport to be aligned with the main report.
2. The last column of my report is stretched to the edge of the page even though I have all my cells set to CanGrow = false. How can I stop this?
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
When one executes a query in v7.0, the results in the result window are hard to look at one as one has to scroll sideways to see the entire rpt. Is there a better way (hgighlight) to view it so I can see the whole report without scrolling sideways?
Thanks

Hi,
Is it possible in SSRS to change the appearance of a Hyperlink based on a MouseOver event? For example can I show the text as say, underlined, only when the Mouse pointer hovers over it.. and normal otherwise?
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. In order to add an sequence dimension in an ssas cube, I need to rank chronological item in a t-sql data set in order of their distinct appearance. I've tried to do this in mdx and there's just no easy way. I've also tried various ways in t-sql to achive, includeing ranking functions, custom udf, etc. To no avail.
The original dataset would look like this.
date, member_id, action
1/1/2008, 123, register
1/2/2008, 123, create_item_a
1/3/2008, 123, create_item_b
1/4/2008, 123, create_item_a
1/5/2008, 123, create_item_c
1/6/2008, 123, create_item_b
I need another column that flags the action in order of appearance, like so
date, member_id, action, appearance_rank
1/1/2008, 123, register, 1
1/2/2008, 123, create_item_a, 2
1/3/2008, 123, create_item_b, 3
1/4/2008, 123, create_item_a,2
1/5/2008, 123, create_item_c,4
1/6/2008, 123, create_item_b,3
So the "register" action would be the first thing a user did, "create_item_a" the second, create_item_b the third. However, the next occurrance of create_item_a would still retain the rank of 2 as it's not a new action for this user. The ranks would be unique to the actions, based on the first time they occurred.
This has been perplexing, but I feel like there is simple way to do this using some of the ranking functions, but just haven't been able to get it figure out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I am attempting to modify an existing matrix report into something a bit more diverse and aesthetically appealing to our users. The problem is changing the size of columns, rows, border types, etc.
So far I have not yet been able to locate any custom code samples that refer to ways of changing the overall appearance and properties of the matrix. I am not concerned with the data but in some cases a column's width will need to be larger or smaller based on the size of the data inside it.
The strings can range from 3 characters to 15 or more and the number of columns can be just as dynamic in number. If that happens I need to shrink or expand a column to match.
I am familiar with using custom code just not in using it to access the matrix properties.
Thanks.

Does anyone know why a backup database statement aborts a job in a stored procedure so that you can't handle the error with @@error, but when you run the same stored procedure in a query window the error handling does get run?
The snippet of code looks like this:
SET XACT_ABORT OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
set ansi_warnings off
set arithabort on
declare @backup_status int
declare @cmd varchar(1024)
SET NOCOUNT ON
print 'Options value: ' + convert(varchar, @@options)
set @backup_status = 0
if (@backup_mode = 'F')
begin
BACKUP DATABASE
@DB TO DISK = @BackupFile
with
NAME = @Name,
DESCRIPTION = @Description,
MEDIANAME = @MediaName,
MEDIADESCRIPTION = @Description,
STATS = 10,
init, nounload, noskip
if @@error != 0
begin
set @backup_status = 1
print '**************** Backup of ' + @DB + ' Failed'
end end
When this is run in a query window, the print statement at the bottom does get executed, but when run as a step in a sql agent job it does not.
Thanks.
Executing the stored procedure took 45 seconds. But copying the code to a query window and setting up the variables (instead of parameters), it took 7 seconds.
In the query window, most of the processing cost (86%) is right up front in a "Distinct Sort." But in exec stored procedure, the cost for this step is 11% and the significant costs are in later "Table Scans."
I don't know why SQL Server would choose different execution plans when the code is identical in each.
Any quick insights?
Many thanks.
hi,
i have worked three days on a query to display all my results in a beautiful report. The query is fine because when i execute it in Query Analyzer i have all results i want to see in my statistics-table in my report...
One thing: it's contains about 100 unioned statements, which results in a super-long query. Performance is OK because it are all 100 very easy statements that are union-ed together.
But, when I copy-paste it in my query-string window/textbox of the report designer, I see that there's a maximum on that textbox lenght, which results in the fact that my long query suddenly stops.
Any solutions????
Bit of a strange one here. We have a SQL Express instance running with one database which is accessed by a VB6 client application.
Performance between the application and the database isn't great, but bizarrely if you open a Query window from the Management Studio (against the database) the performance dramatically improves - to the extent that it is visually noticeable from within the application.
So, I'm thinking that the database connections being made by the application are taking longer because of instance name resolution or the like and with the Query window open this resolution is performed quicker.
Has anyone come across this situation? I can re-create it on several different computers each with their own Express instance and I've not found anything about this on the net.
Here's the connection string used by the application - I have tried various permutations of values to no avail:
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=SampleDB;Data Source=(local)sqlexpress;Trusted_Connection=yes
Thanks very much
I have written a query to search for a string in an expression by the number of it's appearance. Script is like this:
DECLARE @Expression VARCHAR(8000) = 'abcd_e_fgh',
@SearchString VARCHAR(10)= '_',
@OccuranceNumber SMALLINT = 1
DECLARE @SearchIndex INT = 0, @SearchIndexPrevious INT = 0, @Sno INT = 0
WHILE @Sno < @OccuranceNumber BEGIN
[Code] .....
Here i'm trying to search "_" in expression "abcd_e_fgh" where it is appearing for first time. it gives me 5 correctly. Now when i change the @OccurenceNumber to 2 or 3, it gives correct values 7 and -1 respectively. However now when i change it to 4, it gives me 5. So when it's trying to check for fifth appearance of "_", it's not actually giving 0 or -1 but repeating the value 5.
I'm having some performance issues with a TSQL query. It's a complex statement but the main issue is the correlated query.
How can I convert this
SELECT TOP 5
(SELECT SUM(lt2.col3)
FROM dbo.MyTable2 lt2
WHERElt2.col1 = lt.col1 AND lt2.col2 = lt.col2 AND lt2.id = lt.id ) AS Result
FROM dbo.MyTable1 t1
... to an inner join or a sql2012 window function?
By the way, I just added the TOP 5 myself while testing. It's not in the main query.
Can anyone tell me if you can display line numbers in the query windowof SQL 2005 Management Studio and if so how do I go about doing it?Thanks a bunch. TFD

In MSDN, it says that it is recommended to use windows authentication to connect to SQL Server rather than use mixed authentication.

Hi,
I am using SSRS Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers
Version 9.00.1399.00. I want to open linked report in new window.

Performance issue.
I have a very complex Stored Procedure called by a Job that is Scheduled to run every night.
It's execution takes sometimes 1 or 2 hours and sometimes 7 hours or more.
So, if it is running for more than 4 hours I stop the Job and I run the procedure from a Query Window and it never takes more than 2 hours.
Can anyone help me identify the problem ? I want to run from the Job and not to worry about it.
Some more information:
- It is SQL 2000 Enterprise with SP4 in a Cluster (It happens the same way in any node).
- The SQL Server and SQL Agent services run using a Domain Account that have full Administrative access.
- When I connect to a Query Window I also use a Windows Account.
- There is no locks or process bloking or being blocked while the job is running.
- Using the Task Manager the processor activity is ok, no more than 30 % in any processor.
Hi,I have a web application using Stored Procedure (SP). I see that there's a SP taking long time to execute. I try to capture it by Profiler Tool, and find out that with the same SP on the same db with the same parameter.

Hello Guys,
One of the fields in my report is a web address (i.e. http://www.yahoo.com). Navigation property for this field is "Jump to URL". Users will access the report with a browser, using a "sharepoint-like" application. Default behavior of "Jump to URL" seems to be to open the link in the same window (or tab in IE7). Is there a way to force the link to be open in the new window?? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!!
I honestly don't see where to view the watch window. Can someone please advise.

hi, I got a problem with reporting services 2005.
I have to create a link activated by clicking on an image.
In the image navigation properties I inserted the link in "jump to url" but the problem is that no new window is opened, the url is opened in the initial report page.
I tried to use jscript this way:
javascript:window.open("myurl","", "scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600,left=0,top=0");
but in this case the url opens in a new window but a blank page is shown in the report page.
How can I solve this problem and open the url in a new window without changing the report page?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
