Just a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
We've just rolled out Reporting services at our organisation, and the users love it. However, it's giving me a headache because, as the only developer in the company and as I have VS.NET, I'm the only one who can author the reports.
Does anyone know of a third party provider that has written a report writing tool with a straight forward UI ( a bit like the access report writer for example) that I can deploy to some users and let them run riot? It's the kind of thing that I expect someone will have done as a pet project, if anyone knows of a freeware version that would be even better.
I've SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 configured on my system, but now I'm NOT Able to start the report server. I get this error on http://<serverurl>/Reports/Home.aspx:

I don't want to loose any data. Please help me resolving this error.
FYI, I've modified the SQL Reporting Services account LogOnAs info, in Properties of "SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)" Service, in Windows Service Managment.
Earlier I had .useraccount as username, I modified it to domainnameuseraccount. And then suddenlt everything broke for reporting server.
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
Hi !!We are developing an application where we need a Query tool which allows customer to do Ad-Hoc or random query.. something similar to lets say http://salebyowner.com/advancedSearch.phpWe have few more options than this on which customer can do search. I don't think dynamic query in C# code or something like that is going to help me. Am I right? Do we have to use any type of query tool or something for doing this?
Hi,I was wondering if someone could help advise me.Basically i have a client who wants to upgrade from a desktop msaccess solution to a web based system using MS SQL Server 2005.Basically their main concern is in losing the ability to write ad-hocqueries using the MS Access query manager. I can obviously writestatic reports etc but whats the best way to give them someflexibility ??Can anyone advise me if there is any product that can do this for SQLServer 2005 (which im sure there is) but will work in a webenvironment.Or does anyone have any helpful ideas ???all help / advice greatly appreciatedCG
Hi guys, I am using DLinq with SQL Server Express 2005 and I need to install some kind of user interface which shows me a trace of the SQL statements sent. I would like to see them in real time (I won't like to inspect a log after :-). I remember that there was something similar in SQL Server 2000 full edition, but I requiere the same functionality in the Express version now.
Could you tell me if there is some tool to do that? Thanks in advance, Erich.
I would like to be able to view the complete SQL command that is sent from a Microsoft Access query which has linked SQL Server tables through ODBC, and the query also has some VBA functions manipulating and filtering data.I tried using the SQL Profiler to view the sql command send to SQL Server but all I see is the simple query format and some of the fields. I don't see the fields that have a VBA function such as trim(fieldname) etc in the column. And If I use a VBA fucntion in the Criteria then nothing shows up in SQL Profiled under the TextData column.How can I see the complete SQL command sent to SQL Server?
Does anyone know of a T-SQL Reporting Tool that can be attached to either SQL 7 and/or 2000 databases. I am looking for something similar to the Oracle 'Discoverer' tool.
The requirements are that users be able to create there own reports using a GUI with the minimum of prior knowledge of T-SQL.
What I am looking to do is create a reporting framework that uses SQL Server and outputs as XML (only because that could be consumed by various clients).
I also want to create title, subtotals, etc., and even page breaks of I can.
I want to do this all in T-SQL so new reports can be added by DBA's rather than have the developer re-code, re-compile, re-distribute, etc.
I think on the DB side it would be as easy as creating a table that is a 'catalog' of available reports with their names, etc., and a set of stored procs that would run the reports.
Has anyone ever done anything like this, or in some better way?
I'm looking for a tool that can read the SQL Agent tables and generate a chart or graph of when jobs are scheduled. This could be used to determine when a job can be scheduled without interfering with other jobs, or to determine where a maintenance window might exists.
The chart could be for a particular day, or week or month. It could be for a single database or all databases on a server. The tool could also read job history and display a graph of execution time (with success and failure displayed in different colors).
I don't know of anything like this in existence. I've looked at the stored procs supplied with SQL Server that help generate the data for the Enterprise Manager's GUI. I see thinks like the job schedule frequency information hardcoded in the stored procedure, instead of table driven. That's scary!
SQL Probe software is cool, but it doesn't do the reporting I'm looking for.
Was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that you can point to a view inthe database and it graphically (or even in text) determines thedependencies. At the moment I am manually going through a swag ofviews and putting them in visio org chart but there must be a betterway !
I installed 2005 advance... install said all OK. I go to Reporting Configuration tool, try to set Report Server Virtual Directory, set new to default... says number of errors 0 but the crashes with the "... and has to close" No details as to what the error is and when I retry I cannot click on Report Manager Virtual Directory. Any Ideas?
Hi, I need software that will write a report on the following items that I can have prepared to show our auditors. Any suggestions ??? OUr databases are SQL*Server 2000, SP 3a / SP4
1) database consistency checking 2) re-indexing 3) shrinking 4) allocation of growth boundaries 5) backup routines 6) disk space 7) table space 8) processing speed
I am trying to configure reporting services using the Configuration Tool. I get all checks green except for Encryption Keys (Blue), Initialization (Grey), and Email Settings and Execution Account (both Yellow). I am not too worried about the yellow and blue ones because I have read that other people have the same, but I was wondering how to make Initialization available to configure. I am running SQL Server 2005 - Standard Edition.
Is there something called SQL Service Reporting tool - "the Designer" is this product different then the Reporting Services that comes with SQL Microsoft Server standard edition?
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and reporting services (followed the video tutorial). Whenever I try to open the Reporting Configuration Tool, it gives me the following error:
SQL Server 2005 Reporting Configuration Tool has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.
My only options are to Debug or Close.
I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Can anyone help?
I have a project with SQL sever reports in it. During a test upon returning to the VS 2013 Professional interface, the tool box area still had the previous information displayed and never returned to what should be there for the report design tools.I restarted VS, and the toolbox no longer looked like it did before. Specifically, the datatable tool among others was missing. I was unable to "refresh" the datatable after making changes to it.
I opened other Reports in design mode, and the tools did not show up for those either.The Report Items in the toolbox does contain things like Pointer, Text Box, Line and so forth.
SQL Server 2008 R2. SQL Server Management Studio 2016 CTP2. I am looking for a tool where I could create and save a nice graphical layout of some tables in a database and their relation to each other (how they join or connect). I get something like this in the Query Editor, where it shows the fields and joins of tables as I select them. However, I cannot save this representation to show say in a PowerPoint or Word document (Visio, etc.).
Is there a tool that would enable me to create a nice document showing my tables and their relationships, which would also allow me to annotate each table with notes about the fields, etc.?
I searched and found a reference to "Visual Database Tools" which is supposed to be part of Management Studio 2016. However, I cannot find such a set of tools listed anywhere in my menus.
I'm looking for suggestions on what Query tool to use on SQL DB's for a group of people who are used to creating ACCESS QUERIES. I'm having trouble running SQL as the backend and ACCESS as the query tool to run ANALYSIS. TIMEOUT issues and such. So, I thought we might as well use the SQL tools. Any suggestions...
I had SQL200 query analyzer loadded on a machine but it crashed.
Culd find CD. We decided to load SQl Server Manager sudio express from a sql 2005 CD. THe problem is that wen running queries with it, it puts some strange characters in the output. They arenon-printable characters so you don't see them
when you edit them in notepad. I have an editor that allows you to edit different
modes. I looked at the file in hex mode and found the characters there at the beginning of the first record. I just want the results in the result pane of the query to save as a regular ASCII text file comma delimited. THis same script was used successfully

Hello, I just wanted how we can find the system performance without using tool like performance monitor or profiler. I just need the query like equalent to peformance monitor for see the systmem status of CPU ,IO ,Memory and etc.. Thanks, Ravi
Does that make sense? I have 2 tables, one is an older version, one newer. The newer version has some additional fields, indexes, etc. I'd love to have a tool to run against them that would generate an ALTER TABLE script to modify the old table so that it matches the new table.
Can anybody tell me how to use the query analyzer to connect to 2 different servers in one query? If I access a database on another server like that [servername].[dbname].[dbo].[tablename] I recieve an error that says: Server servername is not configured for DATA ACCESS.
