Hi,
In a report we have a couple of pie charts one for each category.
for eg. if there are 3 categories red,blue and yellow there will be three pie charts. Now the data is shown to a particular user only if the user has access to a particular category.
suppose while designing the report the pie charts are created in the order : chart - red chart - blue chart - yellow.
If a user has rights only on the yellow category, only one chart will be displayed and chart-red and chart-blue will be hidden. Now the problem is, on the report I get blank space before chart-yellow as chart-red and chart- blue are hidden. is there a way to position chart - yellow in place of chart-blue if chart-blue is hidden or position chart-yellow in place of chart -red if chart-red and chart- blue both are hidded?
Hello all,Thinking about building a new database in the enterprise addition ofsql server and using some horizontal parititioning techniques in orderto accomaodat what will eventually be a monster huge database.Can you share some hard earned experience, gotchas, etc...with me? Wewill be setting up this server on a SAN array that will be made up ofjust one or two huge virtual RAID10 volumes and I am also wonderingabout the wisdom of this? Its simple and should work, but is thatconfig relevant in any way specifically to our plan to partition?
I am trying to create a report which needs to print the table footer (not page footer) at the bottom of the page, regardless of the amount of data (detail). How do I go about this?
I have a report which contains just one textbox. I set the location of this textbox to 0cm x 0cm. Page size is 8,27in x 11,69in (A4). I want this textbox to be printed 15cm from the top and 15cm from the left. What should I do to achieve this? I tried using report maegins, but no success.
Hi all,I have been facing this dilemma since when I started coding in asp.net 2.0. I can have Data Access Layer wherein I can write stored procedures to access the data from database. I can create data access object, data table and all other stuff. Also I can create stored procedure in SQL 2000 server, and then access them from the Data Access layer. Which of the two method is preferable, and why. i have been searching net for answers to this question since long, but could not find anything. All answers can contribute may be little but invaluable knowledge.Thanks.
I am creating a report that contains several tables and graphs. The report should fit on one page. It is a dashboard type of report that gives a quick look at key information. I have several sections that have related objects - a table and a graph for the same subject. I grouped the subjects into rectangles so that I could have a nice border around each section. However, when the report is rendered in IE, the rectangles do not stay together, and I have white space between them. I tried putting a background color on the body, but the background color does not show when the report is rendered in IE.
I tried a work-around using lines, not rectangles, to separate sections. The spacing seems to be working, but again the background color is not showing on the rendered report, so that is not a viable option.
As a work-around for my work-around, I put the objects within one rectangle, again using lines to separate sections. However, the spacing of the objects within the rectangle is not working - I am left with large blank spaces again.
The problem I was having regarding re-enable a queue was because it was in another database. I am guessing it did that because the contract and Queues have the same name. I double checked and nothing pointed to that database. I fixed it because I can re-enable the queue in the other database and it is fixed. My question is why did this happen? The other issue I am still having is regarding why the queue got disabled to begin with. I understand that it was because of positioning but do not understand how or why and how to provent it from being disabled.
I have a user table with Label and value fields where i would like to control the display of the text boxes based on the values selected in my user table.Can we adjust the text box positions dynamically based on the user table values.
Ex: Table
Label1 Field1 Label2 Field2 Label3 Field3 ID 100 Dept Sales
Report Design :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label2: Field2: Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
Expected Result :
Label1: ID Field1:100 Label3:Dept Field3:Sales
In my table i don't have values for Label 2 & Field 2 , can we adjust the spacing conditionally to be utilized by Label3 & Field3 in SSRS.
Note : Above mentioned data is just for an example and in my actual report i can have more than 3 columns and report is looking ugly with all the spacing if i don't have data in all the fields.
( @CompanyID NVARCHAR(36), @DivisionID NVARCHAR(36), @DepartmentID NVARCHAR(36), @ItemID NVARCHAR(36), @OrderNo NVARCHAR(36), @LineNo NVARCHAR(36), @TAllotedQty Numeric, @EmployeeID NVARCHAR(36), @Trndate datetime ) AS BEGIN By default iam passing 12 char itemid as parameter...
Here iam selecting the itemid from InventoryLedger -if it is 8 char than this query should be executed IF EXISTS(SELECT ItemID FROM InventoryLedger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID)
BEGIN DECLARE @Qty INT
select @Qty =QUANTITY from inventoryledger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID select qtyonhand=qtyonhand+@Qty from InventoryByWareHouse where ItemID=@ItemID END
Here iam selecting the itemid from InventoryLedger -if it is 12 char than this query should be executed(both queries are same) IF EXISTS(SELECT ItemID FROM InventoryLedger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID)
BEGIN DECLARE @Qty INT
select @Qty =QUANTITY from inventoryledger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID select qtyonhand=qtyonhand+@Qty from InventoryByWareHouse where ItemID=@ItemID END
I add some records to two tables after createing operation completed.
Then i use dbcc page command to oversee the structures of data page in two tables. I found some interest things: The rows in two tabes take up same space:9 bytes
You can see the "9" on top of the data, for example:Slot 0, Offset 0x60, Length 9, DumpStyle BYTE or calculate from the offset array
Question (X-axis): How does automatic x-axis label positioning work? Answer: Currently, built-in Reporting Services charts only allow automatic positioning in order to avoid overlapping the x-axis labels. The label direction (horizontal/vertical) of the axis labels depends on the label string sizes and the available space. X-axis labels are either shown horizontally in one line, horizontally in multiple lines with line breaks, or vertically. Showing x-axis labels at an angle, or explicit manual control over individual x-axis label positions is currently not supported.
Note There are several third-party chart add-ins that enable more control over axis labels. These add-ins can be installed on top of Reporting Services 2005.
I have exactly the problem indicated above in that some sectors of my Pie Charts I am are trying to produce are small and are close together thus labels overlap in some cases. As it says above, only automatic placing of the labels is available, but there could be a solution through third party software.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party solution/add in or a workaround?
I am importing a table where I need to convert a char(1) with thevalues of 't' or 'f' into a bit field with valies of 1 or 0. Is therea built-in function that does that? I've been searching, but I can'tfind an answer.
Hi, I am trying to write some simple SQL to join two fields within a table, the primary key is an int and the other field is a varchar. But i am receiving the error:'Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ',' to data type int.The SQL I am trying to use is:select game_no + ',' + team_name as matchfrom result Thanks
Does any body know of any performance implications of using 'varchar' data type against 'char'?
I have some columns that are using 'char' data type, but the data in them is not fixed length. So, to gain some disk space I am planning to change the data type to 'varchar'. But, I am concerned if there will be any performance de-gradation or any other implications of doing this.
I have recently inherited a database where all of the tables use varchar instead of chars for fields. Very , very few of these fields are involved in keys of even indices, but performance is an issue. I thought that I had read that varchars are worse for performance than chars when page splits may occur. Is this related to updates only, or does it matter?
I hv executed the following query in the Query Qnalyzer (Ofcourse I am Using SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition) and Surprisingly I am getting the Output as follows,
query:- select '5' + 10
Output:- 15
Can anybody please tell me, why it is happening like this? OR Did I miss any Configuration Parameter in the Server Settings?.
I have a table which will recieve and interface file to be loaded. All the fields are there except an account_id field which is a char(12), but the data is a number 000000000001, 000000000002, etc. These numbers are to be incremented by one. I understand how to write the process using a cursor to run through all the records and to increment them before loading. My question is the best way to get the max number in the existing table which is the char(12) , and icrement the number by one, but retain the leading zeroes I will need. Anyone had the pleasure of doing this providing input greatly appreciated.
I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this: Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?
I am new to MS SQL. One VB application that I need to maintain using it. There is one problem reported but I couldn't explain: one field is declared as Char (20), but the application seems able to insert a string with length even 30. There is no character truncatd when retrieved neither.
However, I cannot simulate the case in the MSSQL database manager. When I executed a SQL script to insert, I was simply not allowed to do so.
Any explanation to the sDid anyone encounter same thing before? Thanks for any hint.
Hi, This question may sound silly,but please comment. Please tell me a situation where char should be used and not varchar. Let us assume that we are dealing with non unicode characters. Well, I find varchar is always smarter than char, so why char? Thanks!! Rudra
i would like to know if there is an overhead in using VARCHAR when you use to store it...
a colleague of mine claims that if the field is defined to be VARCHAR the system creates and additional column DOUBLE/DECIMAL with storage size of 17/18bytes.
such that if the size of the varchar field is less than 30 it is better to be defined as CHAR instead.
please help me out here... i think there's something wrong with his statement, but i need concrete proof to it... a link to page or pdf file would be very much appreciated.
Used to know how to do this but am having no luck today. I have data coming in from a .txt file that gives me char strings for dates, e.g. 02242003 for Feb. 2, 2003.
Need to whomp this into small datetime with the whole convert/cast thing but I guess I've previously only gone the other way--smalldatetime to char.
I have one table that has a column 'amount' with datatype 'numeric(19,5)' I'm want to insert the data from this column into another column (in a different database) with this format: '00000000.00' as 'char' example: If in the first column I have 800.75864 I want to insert it in the other column as '00000800.75'
(1) Purely fractional numbers sometimes have the first zero removed. So "0.03875" is stored as ".03875" (2) Some numbers have trailing zeros added. So "70.7" is stored as "70.700000".
Can someone help how to overcome the formatting errors.
I'm extracting a char(2) field from a table that has a value of '1' and writing it to another table but want the output field to be padded with a zero. I have tried this below:
right('00' + isnull(Field1, ' '),2
but the output field comes out as '1 ' (that's 1 followed by a space). Does anyone have any idea how I can do this or please point out what I'm doing wrong in my 'right(' fucntion above. Thanks, Jeff
