Create an Excel Sheet with parameters

On rendering Excel, i want to make a new sheet which contains the RS
parameters of the rendering.
So, the end user get an XLS data and the input parameters.
Is there any way to make this "parameters" sheet ?
Thanks
AntoineTry putting your parameters on a rectangle, in the body of the report, not
the header. Then go to the properties on the rectangle, indicate to have a
page break before or after the object. when the report display in your
browser, the first page will just be any headers and your parameters but,
when you export to excel, a separate tab will have been created for your
parameters. For the online view, you probably will want to indicate that the
rectangle should repeat based on your detailed data area. Hope this helps!

Create alert for table activity

Is it possible to create an alert to notify a user when a record is added to
a specific table? This is a error log table so the activity would/should be
very minimal.

On SQL 2005 you can use an insert trigger with Notification Services. On SQL
2000, you can still use an insert trigger that updates a ntification table.
Then you can create an Agent job that watches that table and sends an email
or page to the proper user.

Create A/R distribution using IF...THEN or CASE

I am trying to write a query in Transact-SQL to create a user view in my SQL
database. I am trying to populate columns for each "aging" category (30, 60,
90, etc), so the correct age receives the amount due, but other columns are
zero. However, I can't find the correct CASE or IF...THEN syntax. It needs t
o
do something equal to the following:
If ServiceDateAge BETWEEN 0 AND 29 Then CurrentDue = PatientDue Else
CurrentDue = 0.
If ServiceDateAge BETWEEN 30 and 59 Then 30DayDue = PatientDue Else 30DayDue
= 0...
etc
I would be grateful for help...Thank you.Try using CASE expressions like the snippet below. See the Books Online for
more info.
SELECT
CASE WHEN ServiceDateAge BETWEEN 0 AND 29 THEN PatientDue ELSE 0 END AS
"CurrentDue",
CASE WHEN ServiceDateAge BETWEEN 30 AND 59 Then PatientDue ELSE 0 END AS
"30DayDue"
etc...

Create a user defined function in a user agnostic way

All,
I have two functions where one calls the other:
-- simplified example
create function plus(@.a as integer, @.b as integer)
returns integer
begin
return @.a + @.b
end
go
create function t(@.a as integer)
returns integer
begin
return cr_user.plus(10, @.a)
end
go
Is there any way to create those without explicitely mentioning the
database user ("cr_user" in this case)? Ideally I would like to put them
into a file and execute it with osql and those functions are created for
the current user. Until now I could not find a working placeholder to use
in "t" that will call the current user's "plus". (SUSER_SNAME does not
work.)
The only alternative seems to be ATM to always create functions for dbo
which is always defined.
Any ideas? TIA
Kind regards
robertWhy would you need functions that are owned by specific users? Does the
purpose of these functions depend on individual users?
Make it a practice to always qualify object names with the owner.

You can only use functions with the owner as prefix and other parts of the
software insert the user as prefix when generating queries.

No, other than that it is only used by a single user.

> Make it a practice to always qualify object names with the owner.
Why? To avoid name clashes? I prefer the unqualified version. It avoids
a lot of hassle and we don't have to take care of name clashes.
Regards
robert|||"Name clashes"?
There are no name clashes if common objects have the default owner (dbo). If
you created these obviously common functions with a qualified name (using db
o
as the owner), you could prevent any problems.
The pros of using qualified names are simply too numerous to mention here.
In SQL 2005 the owner is replaced by a more powerful quaifier - the schema -
maybe you should look into it to better understand its purpose.
I'm not criticizing your standards, but maybe they aren't as perferct as
you'd like to believe.
Please explain with an example why you need to create objects for every
user, when all of the objects are equal in purpose? And what do you mean by
"only used by a single user"? Is this a security issue?
ML|||ML wrote:

But there would be if multiple objects with the same name but different
owners existed. I assumed you were referring to this situation when
promoting qualified names.

Impressive. Care to reveal some detail here? All I found so far was
faster access to execution plans and better reuse of execution plans of
stored procedures when called with qualified names.

I might if I have the time. But ATM we're on 2k so I wouldn't want to
complicate things by mixing in concepts we can't use anyway. :-)

> I'm not criticizing your standards, but maybe they aren't as perferct
> as you'd like to believe.
I'm far from believing they are perfect. They just exist. And there is
some effort attached to changing them. Hence my conservatism. :-)

> Please explain with an example why you need to create objects for

I don't create the same objects for every user. There is just one (1)
database user (apart from dbo). All tables, views, procedures and
functions are created unqualified and thus belong to this single user.
I'd like to stick with that simple policy. Unfortunately you can create
functions unqualified but you have to invoke them qualified. I don't see
why this is or has to be but apparently it's the way things are. Do you
have an idea why they did it this way?
I'll check whether the privileges our app requires are sufficient to
create the function for user dbo. That seems the second best alternative.
Hm, it seems creating is ok but invoking is prohibited. Darn. Seems like
I have to go down the preprocessing road.
Cheers
robert|||Ok, simply put most benefits of using qualified names are related to
performance. As you've mentioned. Another might be context of use, yet in
your case I see no need for that, since you in fact deal with a single user
(owner). In a multi role environment it could provide more clarity if method
s
that basically serve the same purpose for a variety of roles need to provide
special context-related features, which can be simplified using different
owners while keeping one name. E.g. a procedure to get product details might
return a different result for owner Engineering and a different one for owne
r
Marketing.
If you are using a single owner, why not use dbo?
But on the other hand, your only issue is with invoking functions, so either
way using a qualified name is mandatory. Simply because MS SQL Server says
so. :)

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

> If you are using a single owner, why not use dbo?
I would but it seems the permissions we require for the DB user are
sufficient to create a function with owner dbo but not to invoke it later.
For the time being I'll stick with the preprocessing (i.e. the actual user
name is injected before SQL is executed).

Yep. Still I don't have an idea why this is so - I suspect the words
"historic" and "legacy" would be used in an explanation... :-)
Again, thanks for helping out!

Create a new user

hi

im unable to create a new sql server authentication login

It is appreciated if anyone helps me

thanks in advance

It seems as though your login does not have permission to create a new login.

Log in as the administrator, and give your login the appropriate priviledges.

What does "unable" eman in your case, you did not specify if you are getting an error or the login is just not working ?

hi jens,

thanks for your reply

I logged in with windows authentication and tried to create a new login for sql server authentication..it didnt work

then i logged in windows mode and tried to create tables...that also didnt work....then only i got the solution that i have to install SP 2 and while installing i can specify the authentication as windows (or) sql server (or) both....

so i installed and specified the authentication as mixed and it is working fine now

Create a new User

Hello,

How can I create a new user with password for the MS SQL - Server 2000
(and the MSDE) with a SQL - Statement? I use Borland Delphi 5 with the
ADO - Components!

Thanks.

best regards.
Stephan JahrlingSince you referred to password, I assume you are talking about Server logins
instead of database users. To add a new login you can use: sp_addlogin

For an existing login to add a new user to a database, you can use:
sp_adduser

Please refer to SQL Server Books Online for more details on sp_addlogin &
sp_adduser system procedures along with examples

Create a Named Instance on top of a Default Instance

Hi

I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .\SQLEXPRESS.

Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?

Cheers

Chris

hi Chris,

you can not create one as you intend, but you can install an additional named instance for that.. or, you can modify the connection strings in the application code to connect to

Data Source=(Local); .....; User Instance=true;

instead of

Data Source=(Local)\SQLExpress; .....; User Instance=true;

Create a constant calculated member

Hi everyone, my question is related to creating a calculated member that must not change when the user changes the selected filter in the dimensions.
I will try to explain it: I need the total number of rows of my cube for a concrete year (year is a dimension). I will use this value in a calculated formula to define the percentage of rows that contains a concrete value (selected in the filter dimension). It means that my calculated member has a factor that change with the filter (ie. number of rows with value 'XXX'), divide by a factor that not change (total number of rows per year).

I have tried in many different ways, but I did not succeed. I cannot believe this is not possible...Maybe some sample code or DDL will help...

I keep thinking cement for some reason...|||Hi Brett, I understand your question since this is quite strange, nevertheless, I will try to explain.

The main reason is that I need to detect the quality of the data (used to join with the dimensions) in the fact table . The formula to do that is getting the rate of rows with the correct information. One way to do it will be just dividing the total number of rows by the number of rows with dimension column equals null.

I can calculate the total number of rows creating a calculated member like "count([mydimension].AllMembers)", but this number of rows is true only for the dimension "mydimension". Other possibility is using a column with value 1 for every row, and doing a sum([mydimension].AllMembers,mycolumn1), but this is true only when I filter for mydimension.

So, the real question is, how can I get the real total number of rows, valid for any dimension?.

I hope this helps...
thx in advance

Create 3 users tables

Hello,
In my web site I have 2 types of users: students and professors.
All users need to login but the personal information for each user type
has different fields.
So I create 3 tables: professors, students and authentication,
"professors" will have all the personal data from professors.
"students" will have all the personal data from students.
authentication will have the username and password from all users.
How can i link authentication table to both professors and students
tables so when the user logins i get the data from that user, either a
professor or student?
And is the right way to do this?

Hi Miguel,
I would use one Persons table to hold information that applies to both
professors and students. Specific information then goes in the students
and the professors tables.
Login information could go in the Persons table, but is probably better
placed in a seperate table (for reasons of security, but also for
flexibility - maybe, someone will someday need two seperate accounts,
then you'll be ready for it).
The tables Persons, Students and Professors all have the same primary
key; this same column is also foreign key in the Students and Professors
table, in both cases referencing the Persons table.
The Logins table has userid as primary key (of course) and has also a
foreign key that referenced the Persons table.
Best, Hugo

Create 2 publications for same table

Hi

I created a DB named 'TestDB' and created a table called Users. This user table having 3 columns (Uname and pwd,version).

I need to create two publication for this user table.

1) Create a publication using all columns.

2) create a publication using Uname and pwd (not version column).

I am using Merge publication.

When I create first publication (any one - all 3 columns or any 2 coulmns) it create successfully.

When I create second publication it throws error. The details are below.

TITLE: New Publication Wizard

SQL Server Management Studio could not create article 'Users'.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

An article with a different subscriber_upload_options value already exists for object '[dbo].[Users]'.
Changed database context to 'TestDB'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 20053)

How can i create the second publication? Is it possible? If yes, please give me the steps.

Thanks

Hi

Got the solution. Solved the problem.

The problem was when i create the second publication I changed the article synchronization direction. thats why it throws the error. After givig the same article synchronization direction it is working.

create "expand all" button.

Hello.

Is there a built in option of adding an Expand/Collapse all Button to my report?

I have a report with few groups and I want to give the user a simple way to expand all of them for easy view or collapse all of them so he can see only the groups header.

I thought about using an expression in the hidden property of the groups and try to control it with parameters but its looks like a lot of work.
I also predict problem with it if I'll try to sort the table and the page will refresh it self every time.

Is there something "of the self" for it?

Thank.
Roy.You want to enable drill down in the report.|||

Hi,

Did you find a way to do this?

Don't know of "off the shelf" for this.

I have gone down the Paarameter driven route and it is not that much work. the report I'm thinking of had three grouping levels and a report paramter that passed an iteger value (1,2 or 3) to an expression for the hidden property of the group header & footer and details rows. I used the switch() function rather than if() statements in my expression, just seems like less clutter once you are used to using it.

It wasn't that much work - half hour/hour. I also needed expressions for the appearance of the toggle items for the different groups because you will find that using the parameter approach you get a [+] when you should have a [-], but the expressions are pretty much the same.

I find it works well. My one problem is that after a user clicks "expand all" and the "view report" the report seems to "forget" any other parameters e.g a selected year or motnh. The report still displays okay but a textbox displaying the ReportItems!Parameteryear.Value goes blank and if the user clicks on a drillthrough link the it passes a nulll value through. Clciking refresh "reminds" the report of these other parameters and all is fine again. But if anyone has an explanation for this phenomenom I'll be grateful.

Another option would be to have a textbox on the report with text "Expand All" that jumps to a copied version of your report passing all the parameters, but you change the the properties of this report to display all detail. Report2 could have "Collapse All" textbox that drills back to report 1 where everything is nicely hidden again.

Creat trusted user

hi every one ,
I used many different way to creat trusted user in SQL Server2000 runing on
WinServer2003 but any of them din't work!!!
Do u have any suggestion ?!?By 'trusted user' I assume you mean an existing Windows account. You can
grant a Windows account permissions to connect to SQL Server using
sp_grantlogin:
EXEC sp_grantlogin 'MyDomain\MyAccount'
You can then grant the account access to a particular database using
sp_grantdbaccess:
USE MyDatabase
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'MyDomain\MyAccount'
The user will also need object permissions. This is normally accomplished
by creating roles, granting object permissions to roles and using role
membership to control user object access.
EXEC sp_addrole 'MyRole'
GRANT SELECT ON MyTable TO MyRole
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'MyRole', 'MyDomain\MyAccount'
Hope this helps.

Crazy error when too many rows (records) are requested

Hi,

I am hoping someone here can help me out with this crazy error. I have an rdlc that works fine most of the time. When the user selects certain large date ranges and requests a huge amount of data we get this error:

HttpException (0x80072745): Unable to make the session state request to the session state server. Please ensure that the ASP.NET State
service is started and that the client and server ports are the same. If the server is on a remote machine, please ensure that it
accepts remote requests by checking the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aspnet_state\Parameters\AllowRemoteConnection. If the server is on the local
machine, and if the before mentioned registry value does not exist or is set to 0, then the state server connection string must use

Caveat; State Service is running.So, this solution is NOT germanehttp://forums.asp.net/t/1030680.aspx
Do to business requirements I cannot restrict the date ranges a user might enter

Any ideas, suggestions, work-arounds?? Thank you in advance!

I have finally figured out a "solution". Basically, I had to change how session was being managed. It was being manged by StateServer and I switched it to "InProc" and that seemed to do the trick.

Believe me I tried pretty muchEVERYTHING to get this to work and switching the session management was a last ditch, stab-in-the-dark try. And it worked. I think maybe there is some sort of bug with StateServer and rdlc files?

I was able to reproduce the error and the solution locally using a basic .aspx page with an rdlc control. I made a basic object for the data. Dumped a million rows onto the rdlc while running StateServer and got the error posted above. Then I just switched the session management to "InProc" and got the report to display the million rows. It took a bit of spinning but it eventually displayed. I hope this helps somebody out. Take care.

CR11 - How do I choose a NULL value (or ALL RECORDS) in a dynamic parameter?

We are using CR11 and our own OLE DB provider that, in turn, uses our SQL Server database.

We are creating dynamic parameters that allow the user to pick from all the distinct values that a field can have. All but NULL, and we need to allow the user to pick NULL if there's any in the data.

In reality, we just need to find a way to let the user pick ALL values. However, if we create a dynamic parameter that doesn't accept multiple values, the user is forced to pick one of the available values or, if he doesn't, then CR will say the value is not valid when you hit OK to the parameter selections. If instead we create a parameter that accepts multiple values instead, the user has the option to pick all the available values, which at first seems to solve the problem, but these wouldn't include NULLs and those records would be filtered out in the results.

Thank you in advance.Anybody?|||You can try using two separate parameters in your Crystal Report (http://www.shelko.com). One can be a choice between all or specific and the second could be your list of specifics. Then base your selection criteria on the combination of these two parameters.
