What Are The Limitations Of Using The Browser's Back Button?
Dec 27, 2007
I've noticed on SSRS 2000, 2005 and 2008 that the browser's back button does not always render the report. It will sometimes hang with the rendering icon spinning essentially forever. Is there a limitation that can be tuned which would allow my users to return to the previous report or 'view' they were looking at using the back button?
I have a client that has 4 reports; 1 main, and 3 that are rendered when the user clicks the report data on the main report (which passes parameters to generate the other 3).
They would like to have a back button in the report header of the 3 reports (they don't want to use the browser back button).
Is this possible using a text box, then editing the navigation properties and does anyone have an example? Or am I missing something quite obvious?
We recently upgraded from ReportViewer 9.0 to 10.0 Control in our ASP.NET application, and face some strange issues after the upgrade. When we press the Back button to go to a page that was rendering a report with one or more single-select drop down lists, the selected index in the drop down is reduced by 1, and the report doesn't render until I press "View Report". I verified that exact same setup works well with ReportViewer 9.0.
Hello. When I'm useing a report in reportViewer I have a "back button" in the the viewer which let me go back to my parent report after jumping to another report.
I wanted to make a bigger button like that on the report so I tried to simulate it by creating my own textback and use a javascript to go back one page.
This doesn't work since the javascript doesn't work as well as the built in bottun. Is there a way to simulate this button any way?
In the sharepoint site from the main report when i go to my drill down report i see no back button, Is there a way to provide back button in the toolbar. I dont want to use the page back button. or is there any way by which if i click for my drill down report the report will be opened in a new window?
Apologies if this post doesn't belong here. We are in the process of moving steps from a large SQL job to a web portal. The intent here is to allow the user to manually trigger the jobs to run. The problem I am having is in determining a way to run these job steps in the background, thus allowing the browser to take control while the step runs. These jobs can take enough time that forcing the browser to wait is not an option.The steps have been consolidated into stored procedures so in order to run a step, one would call the sproc. What I would like to do is run this in a separate thread and let that thread end on its own while the server transfers back to the client. Is something like this possible? My understanding is that the thread would be orphaned once the browser takes control again. Thanks in advance for any advice.
When I preview a report that has a link to a details report page in VS a "Back to Parent Report" button is displayed. However, when I publish the report to the Report Server, the .aspx page doesnt display the "Back to Parent Report" button. Is there a setting I need to make to have the button displayed?
When I drill down from one report to another and then depress the back button to return to the initial report, the message 'Generating Report" spins forever without actually running. However, if I depress the regenerate button during this time, it will run the report.
I believe that I may have inadvertingly reset a field attribute to have caused this condition. Ironocally, I have the same set of database installed on another server, and the this does not happen.
I forgot to mention that I am using Report Manager to deploy the reports.
I'm using a number of drill-through reports, which are working great. However, if I have drilled through to another report (enabling the back button) and then go into print layout mode, and click the back button while in print layout mode, the report viewer becomes completely unresponsive.
It's easy enough for me to simply not push the button, but if users encounter this error they'll have no choice but to end-task (crashing the viewer and the application that called it), which could result in loss of unsaved data.
Has anyone else run into this problem/discovered a fix for it?

I have integrated my SSRS Drill though report in Web page and i could not able to find back button to go back to the original report. Unfortunately, i am not controlling the report viewer tool bar.Do we need to write some code to get it working.
Protected Sub ReportViewer1_Drillthrough(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.DrillthroughEventArgs) Handles ReportViewer1.Drillthrough
While (Me.ReportViewer1.ServerReport.IsDrillthroughReport)
When I drill-through the report and hit the (browser) back button and try to drill-trough again I get the following error:
The path of the item "(null)" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply. (rsInvalidItemPath)
When I hit back again and try to export the report to eg. PDF, I get this error: Execution 'mly2yj555oen0o45oowe1e55' cannot be found

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?
I need to run two reports each of A5 Size to run back to page and print on single A4 paper means in 1st half Sale bill will be printed and in second half Gate Pass Will Be Printed both report will be on same page and size and shape should be maintained. How to do it.
Hello,I am hoping you can help me with the following problem; I need to process the following steps every couple of hours in order to keep our Sql 2000 database a small as possible (the transaction log is 5x bigger than the db).1.back-up the entire database2.truncate the log3.shrink the log4.back-up once again.As you may have determined, I am relatively new to managing a sql server database and while I have found multiple articles online about the topics I need to accomplish, I cannot find any actual examples that explain where I input the coded used to accomplish the above-mentioned steps. I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.
Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005 databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also, it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended state. I am also not happy with the fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun. All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of years before I upgrade to SS 2005.
I'm new to SQL so don't laugh if this is easy to spot but I'm having trouble with a select statement but I do not think it's the syntax etc, I'm convinced it must be due to some restrictions and limitations within SQL.
Could anyone shed some light? I've been 'googling' for two days now and can't find anything, much appreciated! thanks.

I've spaced out the query so it's easy to read
I've started the query from scratch building my SQL adding one field at a time and it works perfect until it reaches a certain number of fields, it's as if SQL has a limit to no of fields it can return/be used in the select part of the statement. Are there any limitations I should know about? or am I being an idiot and doing something I shouldn't?
What are the limitations of the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio tools, as opposed to the full blown 2k5 Tools (i'm not referring to the Server, just the tools). I ask because the install for the 2005 Management Studio Tools alone is 878 megs.
I've been using CE 3.1 in a .NET/C# application. My knowledge of database technology is very basic, and I'm wondering how far I can take my application with CE, given its limitations, which I stumbled across when I read the following about VistaDB: http://www.vistadb.net/compare_sql_compact.asp
For right now, my application uses a CE database as a fancy log file. There are only two tables in the database -- one to hold the log information, and one to hold information about different "runs" of my application. The only time a row is ever updated is when a row in the latter table is updated (once) to indicate that that "run" has completed. Other than that, I only add and delete rows.
Right now, two different processes on the same CPU (the same CPU as the database) write rows to the database during a run of my application. They do this by accessing a singleton object, hosted in a Windows service, via .NET remoting. One of these processes also polls the database continually to read it for display purposes.
So. My questions are:
I can live with the single-user limitation, given my application. But what exactly is it about using CE that limits me to a single user? I never actually specify user information, as far as I know. Am I missing it?
Can I assume that the "single CPU supported" limitation simply means that it only runs on a 32-bit Windows machine, and that it has nothing to do with multiple databases running on different CPUs at runtime?
Why is it that the two processes in my application seem to be able to connect to my database concurrently, when this is apparently a limitation? As I said, my knowledge of this technology is quite elemental. Forgive me. But I figure I'm in the right place to change that. :-)
I am receiving an error message while using the System.Transactions.TransactionScope class. The error message that I am receiving is "Communication with the underlying transaction manager has failed". This error seems to only appear when I have my web application one server, Server1, and my database on a second, Server2. When I run the web app on the same server as the database (i.e., web site and database on Server2), I don't receive this error. So, this leads me to believe this has something to do with MS DTC. Is there a limit to how much data MS DTC can manage for a given transaction? If so, is it configurable? When I run my code, the application fails after a certain number of steps (this is repeatable). See sample code below. When I execute the code below, the error occurs on UpdateBody2();. If I comment out UpdateBody2(), the error will now occur on UpdateBody3();, and so on. This leads me to believe that I have hit some upper limit. My code follows a pattern similar to this:using {TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()){ UpdateHeader(); UpdateBody1(); UpdateBody2(); UpdateBody3(); UpdateFooter();}Where each of the classes follows a pattern of:UpdateHeader(){ using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection()) { conn.Open(); // Do something conn.Close(); } } Environment:ASP.NET 2.0SQL/2005 StandardWindows Server 2003 Thanks.Steve
I'd like to use MSDE since it's free instead of SQL Server for my database. I will be hosting a portal type site. If all goes well and my site is wildly successful are there any limitations in MSDE that I need to worry about?
For instance, I thought there was a limit to the number of connections. I thought I remember seeing 5 or 50 on the microsoft download site.
If there is a connection limit of say 10, what happens when connection 11 comes in? Does it just wait for a free connection or does it fail?
Is anyone using is as the database on a large portal site? How many users are there in total? How many connected at the same time?
I am under the assumption that it is SQL Server underneath, so I assume the performance and abilities are very good. Is this a fair assumption?
Hi, I was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to get around SQL Express Edition 2005's limitations to support remote connections. If I install SQL Server 2005, will there be a smooth transition between the two on my IIS 5.1 server? My database is extremely simple and only consists of a single table without any complex queries. Idealy, I would like to spend no money since I am a poor collge student doing this as a project. Suggestions?
I updated a varchar field fom 500 length to 800 and now nothing works. Are there limitations to how big a varchar table entry can be and if so what is the alternative?
Hi all there,I'm a newbee to this forum. I've a question, is there any limitationon "IN" clause in select query.for example :"SELECT EMP_ID, EMP_NAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMP_ID IN('EMP1001','EMP1002','EMP1003', etc, etc, so on)".I've read at some documentation that there is a limitation for Columnsin a table and i.e. we can have only 1024 columns per table, is thistrue?Plz help me !!Thanx in advance.Kind Regards,Harry
I'm thinking about using the FTP task in an integration i am developing, but before i do, i need to get an idea that what i want to do is possible.
With the FTP task could i get a list of directories on the FTP server, and compare the folders with a result set returned from a SQL query. If any of the directories on the FTP site then i want to download each of the relevent directories and there contents to the local machine.
Could someone give me an idea as to if this is possible via the task, or if indeed a script task would be better?
I had a question about the CPU limitations of SQL express. It says limited to 1 CPU but what if I have multiple instaces since the application is a new service and runs in it 'sown memory space how is it limited to 1 CPU? does the service use multiple processors and the queris are binded to one?
With the limitation of 1Gb of ram and 1 CPU for SQL Express, does that mean we cannot load it on a server with multiple CPU's and more ram, or that we can load it and it will only use 1CPU and 1Gb of ram?
