i have a report with several rectangles. How do I make the size of the rectangles fixed so that they do not resize automatically?
They appear fixed until i put a table inside. once I do that it automatically resizes
Hello,
I have a rectangle which contains a chart. Most of the time, the chart has data, so the rectangle should be visible. Sometimes, however, the chart may have no data (zero records). In that case, I would like to hide the rectangle.
Is there any way to "query" data from the report's recordset to see if a certain condition is true.. if so, use that to control the visiblity of the rectangle?
I have one column in the recordset that has many values... the chart will only display data if certain values are returned in the recordset.
Thanks for your advice!
Hopefully this is an easy question, but we have two subreports in a rectangle - one on top of the other. Will the rectangle expand based on the size of the sub reports?
Thanks for the information,
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?
Thanks
Hi All,
I'm trying to use report desogner rectangles(from tools) to group report items together.
However when I insert a rectangle into the report over existing items, I cannot see the existing items anymore.
requirement here to use a method to move items as a group and set formats if possible.
any ideas?
thanks

Hello there.
The oringin problem is, there is no Gantt chart in ReportingServices. Now I try to solve that with a subreport.
I want to send 2 coordinates (Location.Left and Size.Width), but it doesn't work.
Is it possible to solve that problem using this or another alternative? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance,

The size of log is around 600MB and only 20MB is used...
I tried truncating the log using dbcc shrinkfile..but it doesn't truncate
Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks.
We are looking into sql 7.0 and would like to know how it handles excessively sized databases. If we restore a 6.5 database into a db on 7.0 will it automatically resize to free up disk space or will it only work for new databases which have install scripts run on it.

Hi all,
I've found trouble to draw neither a line nor a rectangle box from header section to footer section including the body section. Please help.

Hi all, hope someone can give me some guidence on this.
We have a database on SQL 6.5 sp5a that is 25GB in size. The transaction log is 10GB in size. We do transaction log dumps every hour throughout the day. On a very heavy day the transaction log backup device will be just over 2GB in size. Around 8GB wasted because no-one knew how much space would be used.
Is there an easy way to resize the transaction log so we can reclaim some space. I was thinking of creating a new smaller database device, then using sp_logdevice to use the smaller device as the log and get rid of the 10GB device.
Any thoughts, ideas would be great.
Thanks

My transaction log has grown to 2 Gig. But when I do a truncate transaction log. It is only 18Mb. How can I resize the physical disk space of the transaction log. I want it only to be 100 Mb. It is just wasting the disk space. Please help!

Hello all,
I'm running into an issue with a report we have, I was hoping you may be able to help...
We have a report that contains a rectangle which has conditional visiblity. When the expression evaluates to true, the contents of the rectangle are indeed "hidden", but we are seeing a blank page.
The rectangle does NOT have page breaks selected before or after it. (and neither does the objects before or after that rectangle.)
Any ideas?
Hi,
I want to dynamically handle page breaks in a report based on which subreports that are included in the total report. Which subreports that should be included is controlled through use of parameters. My problem is the following:
I use a rectangle on which I have set the page break property. If I explicitly set the visiblity on the rectangle to true, the page break is performed. If I set the visiblity to hidden, the page break is disregarded. All this is fine with me and according to how I think it should behave. Though, if I use an expression to toggle the true and false on the visiblity, the same behaviour could not be performed. I cannot figure out why. Anyone that can help me with this? I thought that the expression "=true" should be equal to Visible. What am I missing?
Best regards
Lars
Here's my question, hopefully one of you can help me:
When you allow your log file to grow on its own, eventually it uses up all your diskspace . . so you truncate it. However, when you truncate it, it doesn't *resize* the log file, so your still out of disk space, it simply clears up room within the allocated "block" or what-not so that the db can continue to make log file entries.
So, does anyone know of a way to resize that log file without losing it's data? For example, we were thinking about truncating it, backing it up, dropping the original, and then restore the log file from the "truncated backup." Anyways, there must be an easier solution (if that one even works!) . . so please, if you have any hints, let me know.
Thanks,
David P.
I have a database which is quickly filling up its allotted data space (the database is 500MB, and the device is also 500MB). I wanted to know whether it was an acceptable procedure to:
-Dump the database
-Create a new 600MB (or more) device
-Create a 600MB database for load on that device
-Restore the dump to it.
Are there data integrity/corruption/fragmenting issues with this method? The alternatives are simply expanding the database across another device (or on the same device using DISK RESIZE), or using scripts and bcp to recreate the database from scratch. These do not seem ideal. Any opinions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 reports in a single report
Report 1: This report has a tablix and a pie chart which displays member counts for genders.Dataset is written such that the gender names are always displayed in the tablix even when the count is Zero for Female and Male
Report 2: This report has a tablix and a pie chart which displays member counts for category Age.Dataset is written such that the age category names are always displayed in the tablix even when the count is Zero for age categories
Both Report 1 and Report 2 are place in separate rectangles and then these 2 rectangles are place in one single rectangle.Now I want to hide this main rectangle with an expression.
Is there a way to shrink database devices in SQL Server 6.5 Other than dropping and restoring?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave a SQL2008R2 instance on a VM where the single .mdf for the tempDb database is located on a high contention disk. I've managed to get another 60GB disk and thought it would be a good time to move the .mdf and also increase it's size and number of files.
The server has 12 cores and after a bit of reading I've decided that it would be best just to have four files for this database as the 1 file per core (-1) seems to be disputed.
-- Move the existing file to the new disk and rename it.
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', FILENAME='E:SQLData empdb0.mdf');
-- Change the size to 1GB
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', SIZE= 1048576KB, FILEGROWTH=5%);
-- Add three new files, all with the same size & growth
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev1', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb1.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev2', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb2.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev3', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb3.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
-- Now restart the instance.
Also, what are peoples thoughts on percentage growth for tempDb? I've read that it's not recommend and yet it seems to be the norm.
I want to control the size of ldf files and mdf files of several databases on SQL Server 2008 in my organization (manual increase), but i have a question:
What would be the best practices (best methods) for provisioning a ldf file and mdf file? Exists any generic formula?
With this i want to avoid the shrink operation and the autogrow of sql server databases...
We have a vendor created database with 9000+ tables, one of which has about 6 billion rows. The vendor redesigned the database recently and ever since we've had terrible performance.
What the vendor did was increase any and all varchar columns (tens of thousands of columns) to 256.
Before the upgrade we had no problems creating an index on the 6billion row table, it would take 2 hours.
Now after the upgrade we've let the index creation command run for 5 days and killed it because it was consuming terabytes of logspace.
The previous design had combined column width of 1049 to what is now over 4000. The primary key itself is 1283 characters (SQL limit is 900).
There is no additional data, just wider columns. Why we are unable to create the index?
What is happening inside SQL Server? Does SQL make "room" in memory for the index for the entire width of the potential max row length?
I got an Assertion failed error while resizing a vector in a plug-in algorithm.
In order to isolate the problem I created a simple model class in Navigator.h file as shown below:
//========================= begin code =======================
class CStateStats
{
public:
DOUBLE m_dblSum;
DOUBLE m_dblSqrSum;
public:
CStateStats()
{
m_dblSum = 0.0;
m_dblSqrSum = 0.0;
}
};
class CAttStats : public DMHALLOC
{
public:
dmh_vector<CStateStats> vstatestats;
public:
CAttStats() : vstatestats (*this)
{
}
};
//========================= end code =======================
The access to DMHALLOC is provided in that class and in Navigator class as shown below:
//========================= begin code =======================
class ATL_NO_VTABLE NAVIGATOR :
public DMHALLOC,
public CComObjectRootEx<CComMultiThreadModel>,
public CComCoClass<NAVIGATOR, &CLSID_NAVIGATOR>,
public ISupportErrorInfo,
public IDMAlgorithmNavigation
{
public:
NAVIGATOR() : _viAttributeOutput(*this), _vCAttStats(*this)
//========================= end code =======================
I succeded making room for _vCAttStats vector, but when I tried providing room for the vectors of the vector I got an Assertion failed error (file dmhallocator.h Line:56 Expression assert(_dmhalloc._spidmmemoryallocator != NULL)). Please, see the code below, included in NAVIGATOR::GetNodeArrayProperty function:
//========================= begin code =======================
_vCAttStats.resize (2); // <<<<< succeeded here!
// make space for the states
_vCAttStats[0].vstatestats.resize(ulStates); // <<<<<<< assertion failed here!
//========================= end code =======================
I tried using a vector-of-vector approach and I also succeeded.
But I have to use that kind of structure: a vector of class with a vector inside.
I think I must provide a similar approach of vector-of-vector existing in DmhVector.h but I don't know how to do it.
I would apreciate any help.
I have a report that (for purposes of this example) displays States and the Cities in a state.
Now the State is the first group which I want to drill down into by expanding and then show the Cities as the detail line.
What I would expect to happen (and what does happen if I use the wizard instead of creating the report manually) is that I would click on a State and then the page would expand to make room for all the cities listed below.
(That is to say if I am showing only states, not expanded, then all 50 states fit on a single page. Then if I expand California all the states below that shift onto other pages to make room for the 400+ cities in California)
However, what happens is that when I preview the report instead of being 1 page long it is many pages in length with empty white space between the States (white space that would be occupied by the cities if I were to expand the state).
Can someone tell me what setting I need to adjust to get the report to dynamically resize when I expand/collapse groups?
Thank you.
