Parameter Area In Report Manager
Oct 26, 2007
Is there a way to set the default so that the parameter area is displayed by default when running a report in Report Manager. Currently you have to go up and hit the arrows to open the parameter area. I'd like it to be open by default.
Thanks.
Null Label In Parameter Area
Mar 8, 2007We have some reports that allow null values for parameters and I find the "Null" label next the parameters in the report viewer to be completly the wrong thing i want to show to business users.
Has anyone worked out a way to change this label to something more meaningful?

Always Showing The Parameter Input Area.
Nov 14, 2006Greetings,
Is there a way to force the parameter input area to always show even when default values are specified? I want to always display the parameter area even when I set initial parameters.
Thanks
Parameter Input Area On Drill Through
Feb 7, 2007Does anyone know a way to force RS to not collapse the parameter area on a drill through? I searched this forum and found some related threads but nothing that covered this.
I have several reports where they drill through to each other and in all cases, while they pass the parameters between, the users usually want to go directly to different products or time periods within the reports. They constantly have to expand the input area every time they go to another report. This confuses a lot of them.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?
Thanks, Tim

Can't Get Mdx Parameter To Refresh SQL Data Set
May 20, 2008
Hi, I have an OLAP data source that includes a date field "DateLongName" (has format e.g. May 08, 2008) , on which I checked the box when setting up the data set to indicate it is a parameter. This of course creates the attendant MDX data set that can be used for available values so that the user can pick from the various dates to choose the date they want to filter data on. So far so good.
Also in this report I have a relational data source that populates a chart that I would like to update when the user chooses the date from the above OLAP data source.
My thoughts were to create another MDX data source (called DayConstraint) like
SELECT {} ON COLUMNS, (STRTOMEMBER(@DimDateDateLongName,CONSTRAINED)) ON ROWS FROM [DailySalesCube]
Then, for my relational source, it would just be Select * from table where date=@DayConstraint
Nice in theory, but the DayConstraint variable doesn't change when the user changes the value in the olap picklist. So, the "DateLongName" has a default of previous day, so if it was May 8th, both the "DateLongName" and "DayConstraint" show May 7th. But, when you pick a different date (from the available values when the report has ran), say May 6th, the "DateLongName" changes, but the "DayConstraint" doesn't update, so of course my relational data set doesn't update.
If I pull in the DayConstraint data into a text box to look at the value (=First(Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint")), the data set is updating correctly when one changes the values in the OLAP pick list. Wish there was some way in my relational query to do something like Select * from table where date=Fields!Date_Long_Name.Value, "DayConstraint", but can't see anyway to make this work.
I am starting to think you can't use cascading parameters like this - can anyone confirm this, and if I am trying to do the impossible, any ideas on how this could be done in another fashion? Have been beating my head against the desk for a couple days on this, so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Parameter Slow And Page Refresh
Apr 8, 2008Hi,
I have a problem with the parameters in SSRS2005.
In fact I have for example a parameter month on a MDX request (See below). When I change the value in the listbox, Reporting services post the page and I am waiting 3s before to click on "view report"
Do you have an idea why this post is called ? For me there is no reason !!!

ReportViewer (web Control) - Parameter Change Refresh
May 13, 2007I have created an ASP.NET website with a ReportViewer on. The report renders fine, but when I change one of the parameters (manually), the report seems to invalidate itself and a blank while area is drawn. I would like the same behaviour as in the WinForms variant, where rhe rendered report remains the same until the 'View Report' button is pressed.
Is this possible?

Reporting Services :: Automatically Select All In Parameter After Refresh
Apr 20, 2015Is it possible to set the parameter option to "Select all" after the options in the parameter have been filtered by another parameter? For example:
Parameter Area contains Europe, North America, South America.
Parameter Country contains the country's that are in Europe, North America and South America.
When the Area Parameter is set to Europe, the country parameter only contains the country's that are in Europe. When you want to see the complete dataset in the report again, you change the Area Parameter to Europe, North America and South America again, and press view report.
Then the Country Parameter only has the country's that are in Europe selected, so the dataset is still filtered to the European country's. Is it possible to automatically set the country parameter to select all after the Area parameter has been se back to all Area's again?
Reporting Services Parameter Do Not Refresh And Display Correct Value
Apr 4, 2008I am creating an RS with four parameters -
Parameter 1 = Date Period ex. 20081102
Parameter 2 = Start Date ex. 11/02/2008
Parameter 3 = End Date ex. 12/02/2008
Parameter 4 = Description ex. Period 20081102
For Parameter 2 and 3 it will have available values in a Date Range
ex. for Period 20081102 it will have a date range
for Parameter 2 = from 10/02/2008 - 12/02/2008
for Parameter 3 it will have from 11/02/2008 - 12/02/2008
The process flow goes like this:
1. I'll select value from parameter 1
2. Automatically parameter 2,3 and 4 should display corresponding values.
3. It works well on first try
4. if i'll try selecting another value for Parameter 1,
5. As expected it should display again the corresponding values for the 3 parameters but Parameter 2 is retaining the value for the previous Parameter.
Why is it happening?
Does it have something to do with the date range?
How does the sequencing for RS happens?
This scenario happens when date ranges for each Date Period have common values.
Storage Area Networks?
Sep 6, 2001Does anyone know if SQL7 will work with Storage Area Networks(SAN's)? I've read that SQL2000 implements something called a Virtual Interface System Area Network (VI SAN) that allows communication with devices connected via a SAN.
My site is installing a SAN and I need to know if SQL7 can utilize those resources (Storage,etc) and how reliable if so.

Surface Area Configuration
Feb 28, 2007Hi, we are having a strange problem when trying to configure the surface area of my sql server 2005. When we open the tool the only nodes that appears are: Reporting Services and Integration Services. But the Database Engine node is not showing. What do we have to do to access the Database Engine node and configure Remote Connection.
Any help would be extremely appreciated...

Find Counties In Area
Aug 2, 2006
We have the need to determine surrounding counties of a particular county.
For example how can I determine, if I entered a zip code for Contra Costa and the property is also right on the line of alameda that Alameda is a neighboring county of Contra Costa
Could it be determined by the longitude and latitude of the zip code in comparison with the counties?
Strange, Very Strange (BIDS)
Jul 19, 2006Hi everyone,
I€™m suffering a queer behaviour when I use BIDS. Concretely, when I open a dtsx from my project (it has 10 packages) many times Sequence Container and Data Flow tasks are invisible. I mean, its lines are not visible at all whereas its titles are. I mean, what you see is just a white box€¦
Then, I€™m gonna Data Flow layer and I have to do double-clik over the tasks and are visible but on Control Flow I don€™t see how to solve.
Curiously in our development and production server such behaviour doesn€™t happen (we are accessing by mean Terminal Server from our workstations)
How odd!. Everything is fine except this.
I want to remark you that such project has been copied from the server, this is, these packages are been built on the server
Thanks for your thougts or ideas,
Admins, Surface Area Configuration
Apr 16, 2008Up til now i've been working with Access, i have only got a few weeks experience with SQL, so dont eat me.
I set up a SQL Database, and placed it into my site, etc, set up all the connection strings. It connects fine, but cannot log in. It tells me;
Cannot open database "C:USERSJAREDDESKTOPSTYXSTYX - BUILD 2APP_DATASTYXDB.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'Webdev01Jared'.
I'm running Vista (x86), and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, and i'm aware that Vista by default does not automatically enable remote access in SQLExpress for local admins.
So i go into Surface Area Configuration. I've read about it, and it's two steps, Click "Add New Administrator", then select the priveleges in the left box and click the button to put them in the right box. Simple enough, and it works, sure, click the button, it moves across, done.
But. Hit OK. It's done nothing, i still cant connect, and the cherry on top; open up the SAC again to check and there is nothing in the right box. It's exactly how it was before i changed it. The problem is definitely this, and not the account, as i can log in for SQL Management Studio just fine, with the same windows authentication credentials.
Thanks in advance.
System Area Network (SAN) Support
Jun 4, 2002We are trying to determine what SQL Server 2000 Edition is required for our environment. We really don't need any of the features that Enterprise Edition offers over Standard Edition, except that our disk storage is on a System Area Network (SAN). BOL says that SAN is not supported under Standard Edition, but I am under the impression, that if we are not using distributed queries or replication, then Enterprise Edition is not neccessary.
Any help?
Select Query - Get Top 3 For Repeating Area

Basically what I'm after, I need to pull only the top 3 records based on score in descending order BUT these should be grouped by batch. For example, I need to select the top 3 records which have the highest score from batch 1, 2, 3, etc. where there could be any number of records in a batch and any number of batches.
Surface Area For Features Not Connecting
Oct 4, 2005Hello, I've installed SQLServer2k5 Sept CTP with the following config: W2K SP4 Pro, SQL2K5 Std Sept CTP complete clean install. Everything works except SAC for features. I get the error below when trying to start it. SAC for Services & Connections connects without problem and has local & remote connections via both TCP/IP and Named Pipes enabled for the server, and local & remote connections enabled for analysis services. All SQL2K5 components & services are started in the Services control panel. I've looked at port useage, wondering if some other process is using the port that SAC for features is pinging, but since SAC for Services & Connections works fine that doesn't seem to be culprit.
I also get an error when running the Tuning Advisor, saying it can't connect, but demoted that to just a warning by closing some extraneous connections to the servere (had >10 open). Still get a warning, but it doesn't prevent the Tuning Advisor from completing.
I've tried turning on and off various services, from Remote Registry Service to IIS, but no luck. Anyone know what else I chould check to troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Comparing GPS Lat/Lon Values From Database Within An Area
Apr 2, 2008Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could help me. I have very little SQL knowledge and would like a push in the right direction:
I have a application that receives GPS lattitude and longitude values. I was originally using file base system where I would load all the points from the file into memory and do the calculations in the software but I now would like to use SQL Server Express.
I have created the tables:
[Table 1] GPS Points:
id int Primary key
latitude real
longitude real
desc nvarchar(128)
[Table 2] GPS Locations (comprises of one or more GPS Points from [1] above) to form a boundary:
GPS Locations database structure is:
locationId int primary key
gpspoint1 int
gpspoint2 int
gpspoint3 int
gpspoint4 int
desc nvarchar(128)
Table 2 contains up to 4 gps points ids from table 1 and GpsPoints1-4 can be null.
I have created the tables and I have inserted GPS values into both tables.
My problem:
I am trying to compare the current Lat/Lon (which are passed into the SQL fuction as two real datatype value) and I want to return all Table 2 locationId's where the current Lat/Lon are withing GPSPoints1-4 area.
gpspoint1, gpspoint2, gpspoint3, gpspoint4 reference an id from Table 1. I am not sure how I can do this?
I have implemetned a SQL function that returns all points from Table 1 that are within the predefined radius of 1.5 miles from the current Lat/Lon values passed in.
select desc,latitude,longitude, acos(SIN( PI()* @LatDec /180 )*SIN( PI()*latitude/180 )
)+(cos(PI()* @LatDec /180)*COS( PI()*latitude/180) *COS(PI()*longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180)
)* 3963.191 AS distance
FROM GpsPoints
WHERE 1=1
AND 3963.191 * ACOS( (SIN(PI()* @LatDec /180)*SIN(PI() * latitude/180)) +
(COS(PI()* @LatDec /180)*cos(PI()*latitude/180)*COS(PI() * longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180))
) < = Radius
ORDER BY 3963.191 * ACOS(
(SIN(PI()* @LatDec /180)*SIN(PI()*latitude/180)) +
(COS(PI()* @LatDec /180)*cos(PI()*latitude/180)*COS(PI() * longitude/180-PI()* @LonDec /180))
)
where 3963.191 is earths radius in miles,
radius is 1.5,
@LatDec is the current latitude and
@LonDec is the current longitude
Uses a lot of Trig and (for me) is quite complicated. This works very well and is very accurate. It also only uses a single table. I want to be able to now look for the current position within a boundary of 3 or more positions from Table 1 and this is where I am struggling?
Also, any suggestions on how I could do this better would be very much appreciated?
I look forward to your reply and help.
Thank you in advanced.
Cannot Access Surface Area Config
Jan 26, 2007Hi,
I'm posting this in the Setup forum as I think the problem relates to my SQL Server Configuration. Being new to server management pls ask for more info if I don't explain this clearly enough, I'm running out of idea.
Here's the set up:
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP1
When I try to run apps I get the following message:
SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I've found some great notes on the TechNet forums explaining this error and how to resolve it by configuring the Surface Area Tool... remote connections etc
But, this is where I draw a blank as I cannot access the Surafce Area Configuartion for Services and Connections because certain components are not installed, or I do not have admin rights. I definitly have the admin rights, but have no idea where to start looking for aforementioned components.
During the SQL Server install I recevied the warning:
SQL Service Edition System Compatibility - Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this Op system.
It sounds pretty generic and doesn't offer anymore details, but could this be effecting it?
I've also noticed that when I open SQL Server Configuration Manager and click on SQL Server 2005 Services nothing appears in the right-hand panel??? I'm sure there should be???
I've been all over TechNet & Books online and cannot find any reference for what I'm experiencing.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Help With The Security/Login/User Area Of Operations
Jul 23, 2005Currently studying for 70-229.I'm trying to understand how security for users is managed in SQLServer. I've been using SQL Server for a few years now, but withoutinvestigating the bits that "just work".So, here's the scenario. This is more or less how I create all myapplications (which these days are all ASP.NET).I have a database called "TESTDB" (original, huh?)Now, I want to create a method for users to access this database, so Iopen EM, locate and expand the node for the server containing thedatabase, and open the "Security" node. Click on the "Logins" leaf,and in the pane right-click and select "New Login.."On the "General" tab I enter "TESTDBLOGIN" as the Name.Select "SQL Server Authentication", and put in a password.In the drop-down list of databases select "TESTDBLOGIN"Ignoring the "Server Roles" tab, I go to the "Database Access" tab andscroll down until I can see the "TESTDB" database. Check the "Permit"checkbox, and lo!, the "Database Roles for TESTDB" list is populated,with "public" already ticked. I check the "db_owner" box, and press"OK". It asks me to confirm the password, and once that's done there'sa new login called TESTDBLOGIN. What's more in "Users" leaf in the"TESTDB" database node there's a new user called "TESTDBLOGIN".All well and good. I can now create a connection using this login anddo more or less what I want in the TESTDB database.But.If I click the "Users" leaf in the "TESTDB" node, there are two users -"dbo" and "TESTDBLOGIN". If I right-click the "TESTDBLOGIN" user, Ican see that it has Database Role Memberships for the "public" and the"db_owner" roles. But if I examine the permissions on these two roles(by selecting the row, and then pressing the "Permissions" button) Ifind that there are permissions set for EITHER role - all the checkboxes are blank!So, how is it that I can do SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETEoperations via this login/user?Sorry it all took so long - I just wanted to get it right.ThanksEdward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk
