Modeling Registration Form And Reporting Help

Feb 24, 2007

I'm trying to determine the best approach to model tables for a registration form that will be used temporarily and then taken offline once the event is over. I'd like to either model the tables so that they were reusable for other registration forms or perhaps use another method to store the data, maybe using XML or some other method if that is possible?? I'm not sure.

Different registration forms would have different input fields thereby requiring different table structures. It seems inefficient to create tables that will only be used temporarily and then no longer used. So, I would need to remember to delete the tables after they have been used or they would just take up space.

The basic requirement for this registration form is to allow the user to fill out the required fields, submit, get a registration reciept confirming their registration and allow the administrators for the event to pull the data weekly or daily into an excel spreadsheet.

I can create a flat table and a stored procedure that inserts the data. I can also write the dts package that exports the data to an excel file, which would require my intervention. I'd like to have something more automatic without my intervention.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure the best approach for this. Is using tables the best way to go even if the tables aren't re-usable? Requiring my attention to delete afterwards.

What are the options to generate the excel reports without my intervention?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Registration Form Problem. String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated

Jun 16, 2004

I have created a registration form. It works fine IF ALL fields are filled. However, all fields are not required. When I test the registration page and leave a field blank, I receive the following message:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.

Stack Trace:


[SqlException: String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.]


Even if I leave a validated field blank, I receive the same message instead of the required field validation control error message.

Here is the code for the registration page. I use web matrix to create the code as directed in the tutorial.

Can anyone help a newbie?

Power Pivot :: Modeling And Reporting With Multiple Date Dimensions

Jun 17, 2015

Our business model involves a lot of dates and the business owners frequently want reports based on each of these different dates. For example in any given order there are as follows:

- Order created date
- Client due date
- Order first payment date (an order can have multiple payments)
- Order fully paid date
- Date assigned to vendor
- Vendor return date
- Date delivered to client

On top of that we have other areas of the business, the data from which ties into the above. Here we have more dates e.g.

- Date vendor recruited
- Date vendor reviewed

At any given point the manager may want a report based on any of these dates. For example;

- Product type by order creation date (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by first payment date  (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by client due date (fiscal year / month)

and so forth. I have been asked to create a report using all of the above on at least one occasion, many of them far more frequently. At the moment I have created a standard date table and then duplicated that for each type of date that I need however this is becoming excruciating to work with as I have approximately 10-12 date tables in my data model. Is there a better way of doing this now, in Excel 2013? If not, is there an improvement in 2016 that may make life easier?

Creating A Form With Reporting Services

Sep 19, 2007



Hi,
I'm trying to create a form with reporting services. Basically I am trying to draw this form using lines that has 2 columns down the page. The problem I have is the fields can grow on either side of the page, so the lines will not line up. I have tried putting this in a list box and then text boxes inside of these, but this will not work. I have not been able to get just the line to work because it doesn't grow with the list either. Has anyone else been able to design a form like this? Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thanks SQLNewbie1000

Reporting Against SharePoint List Or InfoPath Form(s)?

Hello,

Anyone have any solid solutions for using Reporting Services 2005 to report against a SharePoint List and/or InfoPath Forms Document Library?

This seems to be a popular one for reporting against the SharePoint List, but it looks like there are some issues with it, such as getting it to work with Subscriptions...

One Form To Update Different SQL Tables Based Upon Form Selection

Apr 16, 2008

Hello,
My company Intranet has a form that agents can use to post their comments about the company to upper management, but our customer service department would like to modify the form so that the agent has to pick from a comment type.
The dropdown options on the form will be as follows:
ComplimentsComplaintsGeneral CommentsSuggestions
Each dropdown option has a designated table in a SQL DB.Using postback on the same page, I need to change which fields of the form are visible based upon which dropdown selection the user chooses, and I need the fields to then be inserted into the table that corresponds with the dropdown selection item.
For example: If the Compliments dropdown selection is picked, I need a text box to show for the user's location, the name of the customer, account number, and the message box. Once the submit button is clicked, the characters in these boxes need to be inserted into the Compliments table using its data adapter.
However, if the user selects Suggestions, the name of the customer and the account number should not be visible, since these fields do not exist and when the submit button is pressed, the Suggestions table should be updated.
If you need more information, I will provide whatever is needed.
As always, thanks for everyone's assistance.
Chris

Modeling A Table With FK

Nov 1, 2006

I am having a problem when modeling a Foreign Key in an "Operations" table. This table holds all information on customers ´s applications and withdrawals.

Here is the structure:

CustomerID int, SourceID int, Value decimal (16,2), OperationDate datetime

Well the problem is that SourceID sometimes might be NULL depending on how the record was inserted. So its kind of cumbersome to define it as an FK, since it can be null...To get things worse, this SourceID might point to more than 1 table (depending on the CustomerType it will point to SourceA table or SourceB table)...

How should this be modeled?

Data Modeling Question

Jul 23, 2005

I'm facing the next problem:I have a table with two columns (among others) modeling category andsubcategory data for each row. I need to summarize info on this twocolumns, but with the next specs:1.- Some grouping is only on the category column.2.- Some other grouping consider the two columns.The values for the two columns come from external source, i.e. I haveno means to know the precise universe of data (I suppose soon or laterwe'll have a sufficient sample of data, but for now it's not thecase). So, I would like to have a grouping table so it's not necessaryto insert a row for every pair of category and subcategory (althoughit would be the best approach for the sake of design's simplicity). AsI don't know every possible combination, I would prefer something like'this category is a - no matter the subcategory', and 'this othercategory + subcategory is b'. Let's go with a sample:--------------------------------------------------------Create Table B ( -- groupings ----categ char(8),subcateg char(5),what_group char(10))-- All rows with 432 code are cat. A ----Insert B ( '00000432', ' ', 'Category A' )-- All rows with 636 code are cat. C except when subcat is 8552 (cat.B) ----Insert B ( '00000636', '08552', 'Category B' )Insert B ( '00000636', ' ', 'Category C' )-- Some data ----Create Table A ( -- data ----categ char(8),subcateg char(5))Insert A ( '00000432', '01322' )Insert A ( '00000432', '01222' )Insert A ( '00000432', '01100' )Insert A ( '00000432', ' ' )Insert A ( '00000636', '08552' )Insert A ( '00000636', '08552' )Insert A ( '00000636', '01100' )Insert A ( '00000636', ' ' )Insert A ( '00000636', '01111' )-- The query like:Select b.what_group, count(*) as cntFrom aLeft Join bOn /* ? ? ? ? */-- Should give ---what_group cnt-------------- ----------Category A 4Category B 2Category C 3-------------------------------------------------------------------It would be easier knowing all the pairs categ - subcateg. If I don'tknow them, is a good idea to model the grouping table as I've donewith rows in B?TIA,DiegoBcn, Spain

SQL For Modeling Generalization Hierarchies

Jul 20, 2005

Is there a good approach to modelling many heterogeneous entity typeswith that have some attributes in common?Say I have entities "employees" which share some attibutes (e.g.firstname, lastname, dateofbirth) but some subsets of employees (e.g.physicians, janitors, nurses, ambulance drivers) may have additionalattributes that do not apply to all employees. Physicians may haveattributes specialty and date of board certification, ambulancedrivers may have a drivers license id, janitors may havepreferredbroomtype and so on.There are many employee subtypes and more can be dynamically addedafter the application is deployed so it's obviously no good to keepadding attributes to the employees table because most attributes willbe NULL (since janitors are never doctors at the same time).The only solution I found for this is a generalization hiearchy whereyou have the employee table with all generic attributes and then youadd tables for each new employee subtype as necessary. The subtypetables share the primary key of the employee table. The employee tablehas a "discriminator" field that allows you to figure out whichsubtype table to load for a particular entity.This solution does not seem to scale since for each value of"discriminator" I need to perform a join with a different table. Whatif I need to retrieve 1,000 employees at once?Is that possible to obtain a single ResultSet with one SQL statementSQL?Or do you I need to iterate look at the discriminator and thenperform the appropriate join? If this kind of iteration is necessarythen obviously this generalization hierarchy approach does not work inpracticesince it would be painfully slow.Is there a better approach to modelling these kind of heterogeneousentities with shared attributes that does not involve creating a tablefor each new employee type or having sparce tables (mostly filled withNULLS)I guess another approach would be to use name/value pairs but thatwould make reporting really ugly.Seems like a very common problem. Any ideas? Is this a fundamentallimitation of SQL?Thanks!- robert

Error When Using Data Modeling Tools In December CTP

Dec 27, 2006

I am running the Office Professional Plus 2007 RTM with all options enabled and SQL 2005 Developer Edition on my local box. Based on the system requirements listed on the download page for the Office 2007 Data Mining Add-In, I've also verified that I have the correct CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 and that .Net 2.0 Framework is installed. Finally, I've verified that my local instance of SQL Server is configured correctly to allow temporary data mining models.

In Excel, all of the Table Analysis tools seem to work fine, and most of the options on the Data Mining ribbon also work; however, all of the options under "Data Modeling" on the Data Mining ribbon return the following error when I try to use them:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DataWarehouse, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependents. The system cannot find the file specified."

I've tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling, but I still get this error when I try to use the Data Modeling options.

Right now, I'm only working against the sample data provided when the data mining add-in is installed.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

How To Make The SSMSE To Return Whole Records Without Any Close Query Form And Re-create Query Form Operation?

Dec 25, 2007

Hi,
I got a problem.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version.
And I created a Compact database.
I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form.
then, i run the following sql:

Select * from Table1

It returned 3 records to me.
After that, I used program to insert record into this table.
Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records.
I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.

Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right?
Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?

Thanks a lot!

And Merry X'max!!!

What Is A Good Tool For Modeling A SQL Server 2005 Database?

Nov 20, 2006

Hello,

I need a tool that will let me model a SQL Server 2005 database and then generate the tables, constraints, etc. from the model. I've never used a modeling tool so my knowledge is quite limited. I don't need to model or reverse engineer an application - my sole concern is on the SQL Server database side. I'm not concerned if the tool integrates with Visual Studio. And, of course, price is one consideration.

Are there any good tools that I should look at?

Thanks,

Dimensional Modeling: Age As A Slowly Changing Dimension Attribute?

Oct 8, 2007



Hi all

Probably not the right forum - pointers would be appreciated - but I'll give it a try anyway:

I'm in the process of designing a relational database to be used in a BI scenario - ie. dimension and fact tables. The data will eventually be used to feed cubes in Analysis services, however end users will probably be allowed to run reports aginst views of the relational database.

I'm currently looking at the employee dimensions and my first try would designate AGE as a SCD Type 2 attribute. As a result every employee gets at least one new record every year as AGE increases. Given that BIRTHDATE is specified should I drop AGE from the tables and recreate it as a computed attribute in database views and/or cubes?

Analyst Modeling Using Visual Studio (BI Workbench) And AS DB With Security Restrictions

Nov 30, 2006

Hello--

A question has come up around the following situation where a number of analysts will building data mining models in a specific analysis services databases.

- There is one AS DB for each modeling "project" and the analysts assigned to work on the "project" are grouped together in Windows Security Groups.

- The analysts are only allowed to access the AS DB for their project. To support this security model, we've implemented scripts to create the AS DB for the "project" and then a Role is created within the AS DB called "Administrator" and the members of this role are the members of the corresponding Windows Security Group.

The AS DB, role and membership are created by a machine "admin". After the AS DB is created, it appears that the only way an analyst can build models using Visual Studio (Business Intelligence Workbench) in the AS DB while maintaining the security model is to do the following:

- Run Visual Studio (or BI Workbench)
- Select File -> Open -> Analysis Services Database, then specify the database that they have access to.

In this "online" modeling environment, things are working fine. The question is -- is it possible for an analyst to create an Analysis Services Project in Visual Studio and "bind" it to already-created AS DB? This doesn't appear to work, but I may be missing something.

Thanks,
- Paul

Here is my challenge: Most of the tables in the warehouse do not have primary keys and none of the tables have foreign keys on them. However, there are indexes and unique keys/indexes on the tables. I am looking for a tool that I can create virtual relationships on how the data is related, so it is visually easier for the ETL developers to write the code.

I have looked at both ER/Studio 11 and ERwin 9.6. Neither of them do it exactly the way I want it too. However, ER/Studio is pretty close.

Run A New Server Registration

Nov 16, 2006

Hi:
My pc is windows 2003 server and I have installed SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS.
From Management Studio I made a New Server Registration with Windows Authentication.
I can't run the new server, its icon appears with a white dot (instead of green when a server is running or red when the
server is stopped)
I go to server properties and click the "Test" button and I get the next message error:
Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, credentials, an database, an then click Test again.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
what could be wrong?
How can I run the server?
Thanks!
