Get a timeout error when trying to export to excel

Hi I generate a report successfully in SQL reporting services . Once
the report is generated I then select the export option to export it
to excel
I then get this error message( see below) after waiting about 20 mins
for the excel file to be generated.
There is a lot of data in this report . There is 1240 pages and there
is about 50 rows for each page. That makes it 62000 rows in the
report.
I'm using excel 2007 on my pc. I've updated sql server 2005 to sp2.
Is there some limitation to the amount of data you can export to
excel.'
thanks in advance

I'm not sure about a limitation in MS Excel 2007; but, in MS Excel
2003, the limit was somewhere around 65000 rows. In my opinion, it
sounds like it might be too much data to stream into Excel. Sorry I
could not be of greater assistance.

generating xml from sql server

Hi,
I have generated classes form an XSD (where complex), currently I am
reading the database and filling he classes and serializinf the classes to
get the xml. The problem is there are a lot of records (in the range from
10000 +) and looping the dataset to fill will take a long time. Is there any
other approach to do this.
Can i use SQLXML to generate the xml is this a good idea?
Any thought are welcome.
ThanksUsing the SQLXMLBulLoad utility seems like a good solution for your
scenario. See BOL or MSDN for more information on this topic. I see a lot of
newsgroup postings on SQLXMLBulLoad - that can also give you some idea.

Generating values as part of a compound key

BEGINNER QUESTION

I have a table which has a compound primary key consisting of two columns.

One of these columns is a foreign key which is generated in another table by
an identity.

I want to be able to generate the other primary key column value
automatically when an insert occurs but assume that I cannot use an identity
because it would have to be unique for this table.

There will be potentially more than one user accessing this table so I want
to avoid generating the key on the client side.

How can I do this? Will it require some hardcore T-SQL?

I hope this is clear (I suspect it isn't) I'd be happy to supply more info.
I would be extremely grateful for any help!

But with "generated" you don't mean it's also inserted into the table with
the compound key at the same time, do you?

I don't see a problem here because identity *is* unique to your compound
key table.

> I want to avoid generating the key on the client side.

Yes, of course.

Not fully to be honest. Maybe you post some DDL so we can see the table
layout. Also, it's not 100% clear to me when inserts in your main table
occur.

Kind regards

robert|||I hope it may be clearer if I outline what the tables are for:

I'm basically writing an application that stores information about
'behaviour incidents' at a school. The table in question is the 'incidents'
table which is used to record information about individual incidents of
negative behaviour (ok - let's call it being naughty).

The primary key for the 'incidents' table is made up of an 'incidentID' and
'pupilID'. The pupilID indicates the pupil(s) who were involved in the
incident and is itself a foreign key into a 'pupils' table.

This is to reflect the possibility that more than one pupil can be involved
in the same incident. In this case, there may be for example three rows with
the same 'incidentID' - each having a unique pupilID to reflect one incident
in which three different pupils were involved.

My question really revolves around how to generate the 'incidentID' that is
unique at the time of insertion but allows duplicates if more than one pupil
is involved.

Can I insert the first row and retrieve the identity with a scope_identity
and then just insert the rest of the rows with the same incidentID? Wouldn't
that return an error as the identity column wouldn't contain all unique
values.

I hope this is clearer.

Thanks for your time!

Mark.

You are right, this table layout would not work with identity. However, I
figure your table layout may not be optimal because you really have a n-m
relationship between incidents and pupils. And as far as I can see
there's no place to store information where there is just one piece per
incident (for example date and time). With all that I know ATM I would
have it as follows:

table incidents with date, time, location whatever and incidentid
(identity)
table pupils with pupilid (identity), name, day of birth - whatever
table pupils_in_incidend with incidentid, pupilid (both foreign keys)

This seems the most normalized approach here.

Kind regards

OF COURSE! I should have seen that it would be silly to duplicate all of the
incident information for every pupil involved in a given incident.

Thank you immensely for your help!

generating text file

I have a table(say tblUserInfo) on SQL Server. What I like to do is a text file will be generated on the hard drive which SQL Server sits on when a new record is inserted into tblUserInfo. The content of the text file comes from the table. Is there any way we can go for doing that?I'm not 100% clear on what you want to do here, but it seems to me what you want to do could be achieved with a trigger which does a callout to a COM object which then manipulates the text file. this is an off-the-top-of-the-head solution and there may be a better way, but that would require me hitting the book and it's too early in the morning here for that!|||The help you gave me was much appreciated. Could you please let me know more detail about that when you have a chance?

Generating Scripts at the database level

Hi All,

I require to compare two database structures.This is what I went for:

I generated scripts (right click on the database --> All Tasks--> Generate Scripts) for all tables in the two given databases and compared them.

The problem is that the order of the tables in the generated scripts are different. Can I control this order by any possible means?

Thanks in advance.

I do not know of a way offhand via the generate scripts wizard, however you can manually generate a script for each table, copy them to the clipboard, and then paste them into the desired order into a new query window.

hope this helps,

derek

|||

You can 'cut and paste' the script files using your editor (Visual Notepad, for example).

Otherwise, you cannot 'control' the order of elements in the script that the scripting wizard creates.

Generating Script

Hi,

I want generated script file of all data base objects as well as i want to keep the generated script file in CVS which will reflect the changes.

Thanks in Advance

Sathik, Take a look at the Generate Script wizard in Management Studio. You can read more about it in Books Online: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178078(SQL.90).aspx

Generating an SQL script for a DTS Package

Can an SQL script be generated for a DTS package? I need to be able to
create script to recreate every object that relates to the normal
functioning of the database. Most other objects are easy to get an
executable script to recreate. I can't seem to figure this one out.
Thank you,
JulianDTS packages can include non-SQL structures like VBscripts etc. So the only
ways, you can save them as structured storage file, VB file, Metadata
Service or as binary data in MSDB database. Each of the options can be found
in SQL Server Books Online under the topic "saving DTS packages"

Generating a PDF type report and embeding fonts

When a .pdf file is generated by reporting services, does it embed the fonts used into the .pdf?, or is there any way to tell reporting services to "embed all the fonts"? Thanks in advance.

No, the PDF extension does not do font embedding...There is no way to force this behavior, either.

Generating a cached copy of the report

Is there a way to programatically determine if a report should be generated from the cache or run against real-time data?

I have a situation wherein I would need to programmatically figure out if the datasource needs to be a cached version or real-time data based on certain options that a user defines (not report parameters)...

any help would be very appreciated.Not before running the report, but afterwards you can look at the ExecutionDate property. Depending on the version of SRS you are using that can be retrieved in different ways.|||

NOt sure what you're trying to do: data sources are not cached in Reporting Services. Report are.

Essentially, if you want cache to work, you need to set the data source to use stored credentials and not use any User!UserID or User!Language references in your report.

The GetCacheOptions method provides caching information on the report itself.

Yes, I would like to have the report cached with the underlying data in it.

If I were to have it cached per UserID, would having references to User!UserID in the report take care of it?

Sorry if this is a pretty basic question, but I am trying to finalize if this is possible using Reporting services.
Thanks

|||The cache is not per user, it is shared between users (based on parameters). You can use a post query filter on UserID but referenceing the user it in the query doesn't make any sense. All of the caching options are discussed in the online help.|||If the report uses UserID in a post-query filter, the report will get cached, but the filter will be re-executed for each user.|||

I am trying to get around the user global variable to run reports. I have security implemented by User in the reports. i.e. a userID is only allowed to select the following regions in the region parameter,

I also have a hidden parameter that has two values; online and offline. The parameter is defaulted to online when running the reports interactively and for subscriptions to batch. When it is online, I get the current logged on userID using a CLR function. We get around the batch parameters by using a master userID that has access to all the data (all regions) in the subscriptions.

When the subscription is run with batch, will the interactive users pick up the cached report or run it again as the interactive parameter is online? From your reply, the cache that is selected is based on the parameter list for the report.

The real question is caching based on the parameters passed to retrieve from cache or is there a way around it? Or is there a way to determine if a cached version of the report is being run so that I can plug in my master userID?

Thanks

Generating a cached copy of the report

Is there a way to programatically determine if a report should be generated from the cache or run against real-time data?

I have a situation wherein I would need to programmatically figure out if the datasource needs to be a cached version or real-time data based on certain options that a user defines (not report parameters)...

any help would be very appreciated.Not before running the report, but afterwards you can look at the ExecutionDate property. Depending on the version of SRS you are using that can be retrieved in different ways.|||

NOt sure what you're trying to do: data sources are not cached in Reporting Services. Report are.

Essentially, if you want cache to work, you need to set the data source to use stored credentials and not use any User!UserID or User!Language references in your report.

The GetCacheOptions method provides caching information on the report itself.

Yes, I would like to have the report cached with the underlying data in it.

If I were to have it cached per UserID, would having references to User!UserID in the report take care of it?

Generated sprocs of VS2005

Can someone explain the generated sprocs of VS2005 if one column can be nullable

DependentOfSeqID = @.Original_DependentOfSeqID OR ((@.IsNull_DependentOfSeqID = 1) AND (DependentOfSeqID IS NULL))

In VS2003 the generated sprocs would be

DependentOfSeqID = @.Original_DependentOfSeqID OR ((@.Original_DependentOfSeqID IS NULL) AND (DependentOfSeqID IS NULL))

Which is the best?

I guess the 2 statements are the same: the first 1 uses a variable @.IsNull_DependentOfSeqID to determine whther the @.Original_DependentOfSeqID is null; while the 2nd directly compare it to null.

Generated Report Model

I'm working on a software project that requires a reporting solution.
Of all the solutions we have looked at RS2005 seems to fit best with
our product, however, I had a few queries.
1. Our data is stored in a non-relation format but for reporting the
end user can select what data the wish to report on and a relational
table model is created. Because the table structure is not known until
this point, is it possible to create a Report Data Model in code so
that we can use the end user report designer.
2. Because of the JIT generation of the relational tables, the table
names are not known until the report is requested, is it possible to
pass the table names into the report as parameters? Is it possible to
use these parameters in th Report Data Model?
3. Is it possible to get column totals and group sub-totals in reports
designed in the Report Builder end user designer?
4. Is it (going to be) possible to design free flow reports in the
Report Builder rather than just table, matrix or chart reports?
Many thanks,
Adrian RitchieHi Adrian,
not knowing anything at all about your project...have you considered
using a separate data warehouse for the reporting solution and
propagating changes from the operational system to the BI System so
that you have access to a relational database for reporting...also,
your reporting and analysis needs are very likely to grow past simple
reporting, and I would think you are building in rather sever
limitations trying to write a JIT style application to generate tables
for reporting....I do not see how it could possibly scale as you must
JIT push data into tables when a report is requested rather than just
reading a table that is already there...'
Peter
www.peternolan.com|||Hi Peter,
I realise that my explaination of our system is rather vague but that
was as much as I could really write without breaching my NDA :(
Having a separate data warehouse sounds like a good idea and I will run
it past some of the other guys here but I fear may not be practical.
The reason the relational model is not generated until reports are
requested is that:
1. The data storage structure is flexible. We ship out a standard
structure but clients can modify and add to it as they see fit (with
appropriate security rights).
2. The data in the system is temporal. The end user can request a
report for any point in time for which there is data in the system.
The point in time that the user selects will determine what database
structure they get (as the structure may change over time).
The second problem may not be a problem at all, it's just that I
haven't thought of another solution for it, so any suggestions will be
greatfully received.
Adrian Ritchie|||Hi Adrian,
I understand the world of NDAs...no problems...
1. Changes to source data structures for applications rolled out is
always a problem but not a hard one to solve...
2. All data structures are 'temporal' it's just that most people don't
know it and think they don't change. They do and the analysis system
must take care of that...
I've done systems easily handling both 1 and 2......so I still think
that unless you have some really good reasons for building the
limitations into your reporting system that you very likely will do
taking a look at something separate would be a good idea...Like I said,
I know nothing about what you are doing...so these are just my
thoughts...

Generated RDL Causes Elements to Overlap

Howdy,
I'm generating a series of RDL reports using Python and Cheetah. It
seems to work great with one, huge problem: when I go to view the
reports in Visual Studio or when they're deployed, the report elements
overlap or are out of order.
Is there any non-absolute way to position elements using RDL? I can't
figure out how to even take just 3 textboxes and get them to flow down
a page without specifying their TOP coordinates. Sounds basic, but I'm
butting my head against the wall here. At best, they seem to flow in
reverse order.
Here's an example of some simple RDL that ends up overlapping (in
Visual Studio, which also warns me about overlapping) - any help at
all, conceptually or otherwise, would be much appreciated:
<ReportItems>
<Textbox Name="textbox1">
<rd:DefaultName>textbox1</rd:DefaultName>
<Width>1in</Width>
<Style>
<PaddingLeft>2pt</PaddingLeft>
<PaddingBottom>2pt</PaddingBottom>
<PaddingRight>2pt</PaddingRight>
<PaddingTop>2pt</PaddingTop>
</Style>
<CanGrow>true</CanGrow>
<Height>0.25in</Height>
<Value>Test box 1</Value>
</Textbox>
<Textbox Name="textbox2">
<rd:DefaultName>textbox2</rd:DefaultName>
<Width>1in</Width>
<Style>
<PaddingLeft>2pt</PaddingLeft>
<PaddingBottom>2pt</PaddingBottom>
<PaddingRight>2pt</PaddingRight>
<PaddingTop>2pt</PaddingTop>
</Style>
<CanGrow>true</CanGrow>
<Height>0.25in</Height>
<Value>Test Box 2</Value>
</Textbox>
<Textbox Name="textbox3">
<Width>1in</Width>
<Style>
<PaddingLeft>2pt</PaddingLeft>
<PaddingBottom>2pt</PaddingBottom>
<PaddingRight>2pt</PaddingRight>
<PaddingTop>2pt</PaddingTop>
</Style>
<CanGrow>true</CanGrow>
<Height>0.25in</Height>
<Value>Test Box 3</Value>
</Textbox>
</ReportItems>My suggestion is to post this in the web forum. The newsgroup is pretty much
devoid of MS people and this is a pretty specific and unusual question, very
few people have generated RDL themselves. If you go to the web forum not
only might a MS person be hanging out there and provide an answer, the other
RS MVP hangs out there and he might be able to help you.

Generated query

Hello,

i would like to know where can i see queries which are generated by the cube broswer in visual studio 2005 and where can i see what are the actions it does? Because it takes a very long moment between changes in the browser.

thanks

Start a trace on Analysis Services using the Profiler (assuming that you are using Analysis Services 2005). Then you will be able to see the MDX queries generated by the cube browser.|||thanks a lot

generated insert statement

Ranbdy KrofickI don't think that wizard works with 2005 - it reads the
meta data tables which are different in SQL Server 2005 than
they were in previous versions of SQL Server. You'll need to
write your own code - and you'll be better off anyway.

Generate view and stored proc scripts retaining depandancy order

Hi,
We need to generate view and stored proc scripts so that they are
generated in the right order. eg
ViewA uses ViewB
Generate
--
ViewB
ViewA
etc
When using Enterprise Manager it just dumps the views and stored procs
alphabetically.
regards
PaulUsing EM, there is no guarantee that it'll generate the SP scripts in the
correct dependency order. To be sure, you need to sort then generated
scripts yourself.
I do this by using a script to scanning the SP scripts, find all the
immediate dependencies, and sort the SP by depdendency.
