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.
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?
I have a SQL Agent job that runs at 4:15 in the morning. The job has 5 steps, each step only runs if the preceding step succeeds. The second step, which calls an SSIS package that does the main processing, appears to finish as it goes on to the next step; however, when looking in 'View History' there are 2 entries for this step - the first one shows it as still running (Circled Green Arrow) but with a start and end time. The second entry says the job succeeded.
I have been seeing conflicts, such as deadlocks, with later jobs. I suspect this job is causing the conflicts - maybe the package is still running in the background instead of having actually completed?
what conditions a job step my be showing in the job history as both running AND completed successfully?
Nothing difficult, I just need a way to generate a new datetime column based on the column [PostedDate], datetime. So basically I want to truncate the time. Thanks a lot.
I hope to update a DateTime column value with a Time input parameter.  Poor attempt below but it looks like the @ApptTime param is coming in as 10:45:00.0000000 and I might have an existing @SendOnDate as: 2015-10-05 07:00:00.000...I hope to end up with 2015-10-05 10:45:00.000
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SendEditUPDATE] @QuePoolID int=null ,@ApptTime time(7) ,@SendOnDate datetime
While attempting to set up sql replication in MSSQL 2005 one of my user databases is now in the systems database folder. I need to move it back to the user databases folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had to change the key columns of a dimension attribute to fix an error. I did this in BIDS. The change was from a single key column to a composite key column. Now I am getting these error when I process the cube:
Measure group attribute key column x does not match source attribute ..
I looked at the cube XMLA definition under mesaure groups and it still shows a single key column with inherited binding. However, the BIDS does not give me an option correct this in any way. I have had to do this once before and the only option seems to be removing the dimension from the cube and add it back in. But that is very error prone since I lose any specific settings at the cube dimension level not to mention aggregations no longer include the dimension, etc.
Not seeing an alternative, I went through each measure group (I have 7) and changed the key columns manually in the XMLA and saved the cube. This worked, but I don't understand why BIDS automatically doesn't do it.
Is this a flaw in the BIDS or I should be missing something.
I am not so familiar with SQL Server 2005, but the problem is that when i created a vies and try to save it, instead of the name starting with the dbo. prefix, its starting with my username.
And i just found out that this is not happening only in the view its happening where ever i created an object and try to save it.
How can i change this from my username to make it display dbo. instead.
I think this is why i'm getting permission error when i try to use DTS package.
I have a database that resides in SQL Server 7.0 that I can attach in Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio Express and I can see all the tables from the database in that program.
My problem is that when ever I re open SQL Server Enterprise manager, the database that I attached to SSME, shows up as Database(Suspect). Now I am unable to view my tables in that database. Can anyone tell me what causes this, and how I can resolve that issue?
I need to have my sql server database, and sql server express edition database present in SSME because I am doing an import of data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL server express.
Also, if there is another easier way to import data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Express edition, I would like to know...
I'm trying to find some attributes within a database I'm working with. I'm working with SQL Server 2000, and I'm trying to find table which have a certain attribute in them. for example, If I want to see tables from my database which have an attribute called 'home_address', what would the query be? Or is there an inbuilt function in SQL Server 2000 which allows me to search this?
Hi! A question just struck me that I cannot test right now (don´t have vs2005 on this computer)...Is it possible to add a database-field value to an Xml-Source object attribute?
For instance <Object id=1 name="void" description="" /> is my souce xml... in this case I want to replace the description attribute value (string.Empty) with a value from my db... can this be done?
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.The statement has been terminated."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated
I have a database that is actively being used and updated. When I look at the last modified date of the mdf file, it shows as a couple of weeks ago date and the transaction log file .ldf file shows a couple of days ago. wonder if the database is constantly updated and changed, should it show the currently date instead. Also, the attribte of mdf file show A as archive. what does it mean? Thanks
Sorry if this has been asked befor, but I couldn't find anything that hepled me.
I have a datetime field and want to extract only the time. I know it works with CONVERT and style-type 108. But I get something like this: 08:00:00 and I need something like this: 08:00.
Is here an easy way to get 9:00 PM from 5/1/2005 9:00:00 PM withoutdoing:Cast(DATEPART(HOUR,xDate) as varchar(2)) + ':' +Cast(DATEPART(MINUTE,xDate) as varchar(2))lq
Hi all, I am generating a report dynamically using ReportViewer control. I use a SELECT query to fill the dataset which in turn is used by the ReportViewer to display records. One of the fields is [End Date] and is a DateTime in SQL Server. When the ReportViewer is populated, the End Date field shows the time also with the date. How can I remove that time part? I have used these methods and I want to keep the value as DateTime only and not convert to a string or something. These don't work for me: CAST(FLOOR(CAST(m.[End Date] AS float)) AS datetime)
dear friends.................. i have a table like below.. name date ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ anbumani 2/18/2008 4:15:56 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:21:29 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:23:03 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:25:25 PM i want a out put as only time (ex : 4:15:56 PM 4:21:29 PM 4:23:03 PM ) give me the stored procedure code in sql server 2005.. thanks and regards Samuel Chandradoss .

Trying to extract the time portion from a datetime field. ex 7:15:12 AM from 1/1/2008 7:15:12 aM This is what I tried and neither functions give me the results I want.... SELECT DueTime, CONVERT(varchar, DueDate, 108) AS Expr1, SUBSTRING(CAST(DueDate AS varchar), 10, LEN(DueDate)) AS Expr2, CAST(DueDate AS varchar) AS Expr3FROM TODO Due Time Expr1 Expr2 Expr3 1/1/2008 5:15:00 PM 00:00:00 12:00:00 AM Jan 1 2008 12:00:00 AM It seems Cast(DueDate as varchar) is the problem it converts the time to the default 12:00:00 AM In the above example I want 5:15:00 PM
I have a field that contains only a date, and a field that only contains times. If I try to add the two together, I get some meaningless date like year 2111.
The raw data looks like this EVT_DT='2005-12-05 00:00:00' EVT_TM='2005-12-06 13:59:00' //today's date
I wrote a function that gives me the minutes past midnight for the EVT_TM and use a dateadd(n,myMinutesFuntion(EVT_TM),EVT_DT), but it kills the performance in the nexted cursor.
I have a function that accepts 2 DATETIME parameters. When the user passes a time other than midnight, the function returns a different result. Is there a simple way to strip the time from the variables?
Is there a way to store a time in the SQLServer database, without the date? (e.g. just simply "HH:MM" instead of "HH:MM DD/MM/YYYY" which it stores it in)
hi guyz i want to compare time from DateTime field i.e. i want to identify if the time is from 1pm to 2pm the do this else do...... select DATEPART(hour, loginTime) ......returns me the hour i can get the Hour part of the time but the prblem is how to identify it whether it is less than 2:00:00 pm and greater than 1:00:00 pm i can do this task using at application level but i want this to b done at query level any ideas??????????
