adjusting size of templog does not remain

A bit bizarre I could be overlooking something since tempdb is not like a user database.
Our log size for tempdb (templog) is 15mb, I need to increase this to 20mb.
I do so through the SQL Enterprise Manager. Adjust the size, hit apply and the size is adjusted!
When I run a Financial apps that uses tempdb, I receive the message that the templog files are full backup and ...
When I go back to tempdb the templog file is back at 15mb.

I did
use master
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
MODIFY FILE
(name = templog,

go
The templog is then adjusted to 20mb.
I run my financial stored procedure and receive the message templog ran out of space blah blah...
So I go back to review and increase so more, but lo and behold templog is Back at 15mb!!!!
A stored procedure that simply taking data from one database (less than 2000 records) and using temp tables to do some calculations make the log file shift back to 15mb.
Any ideas?

Adjusting reportwidth dynamically.. please help me

hi,

I am new to reporting services.I am using sqlserver Reporting services to generate Report.I have designed a static RDL file based on a view which contains 40 columns..i included all the 40 column in rdl file..i have used hidden field expressions for hiding columns..Now at run time if i select three columns for generating report, The remaining hidden column spaces are still there in the report ... The report width is not adjusting to the selected column width... how to eliminate the hidden column spaces in the report.Please help me..it is really urgent for me..

Thanks in advance...

You can change the width of the ReportViewer in the Load() event like so...

ReportViewer1.Width=500

I think if you try to do it in another event it has no effect becasue the size has already been rendered.

Good luck.

try to set the width = "auto"

Adjusting Report width automatically

Hi All,

We are having a table report which has set of columns where the visibility is made false based on report parameters. It works fine and the table automatically shrinks. But, the page width remains as early and has lot of blank space in it. It also causes printer to print many blank pages.

Is there a way to control pagewidth dynamically? Thought of adding a custom assembly to control page width - but how to access the page that is getting displayed. "this" will refer to the the assembly class instead of report as such.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards, kart

Sizing is one of the few aspects of RS that cannot be controlled using expressions. Column widths are fixed and only row height supports auto sizing.

Paging is one of the last aspects of the rendering to be determined and it's also specific (and petentially different) to each rendering format. So HTML, Excel and PDF will all treat paging their own way. Hence I don't the possibility of there being an object that exposes a "CurrentPage" property in order to control it's properties at runtime. Maybe in future version MS will exposes some events raised by the renderers that you could hook into, but to my knowledge that's not available right now.

Hence the only way I see of achieveing what you suggest is to write your own rendering extension - which is not trivial - that handles the sizing of each page.

You can try to change all the columns width to zero. (its not a good solution for export to excel but only to HTML)

adjusting parameter controls of a report

Hi,
I'm making use of parameters to filter data in an report.
But the parameters appear in fixed-width listboxes in the report. Some
values of the parameters are longer than the width of the listboxes. My
question is how to adjust the width of these parameter listboxes. Any ideas?

apparently this is not possible.. I had the same question yesterday and I

As far as I know, there is not. This has been a common request on this
news group. Hopefully, this will be addressed in SSRS 2008. Otherwise,
you could try to inject CSS; however, I think that styling is only
allowed at the Report Manager page and report border level (though I'm
not sure). Sorry that I could not be of greater assistance.

Adjusting Employee Hours

I wrote a post earlier, but my manager has asked that I do it
differently. I have a table with employee hours for particular
projects. (I work for a telemarketing company)
Table1:
Project Task Emp Hours
A1 TPV 1 5
A1 TPV 2 2
A3 AUDIT 3 4
TOTAL: 11
A2 ITM 4 10
A2 ITM 5 15
TOTAL: 25
I need to figure out the adjusted hours for these employees. The end
result should look like this:
Project Task Emp Hours AdjHours
A1 TPV 1 5 0
A1 TPV 2 2 0
A3 AUDIT 3 4 0
A2 ITM 4 10 14.4
A2 ITM 5 15 21.6
I need to add the hours for the TPV and Audit records and adjust
against the ITM records by doing the following calculation:
Emp1, 2, 3 hours (tpv and audit) = 11 hours
Emp4, 5 hours = 25 hours
Employee 4: 10 (hours) / 25(project A2) = .4 * 11 (total TPV+Audit
(project A1+A3)) = 4.4 + 10 (emp4 hours). Adjusted hours for emp4 =
14.4
Employee 5: 15 (hours) / 25(project A2) = .6 * 11 (total TPV+Audit
(project A1+A3)) = 6.6 + 15 (emp5 hours). Adjusted hours for emp5 =
21.6
I cannot hardcode anything. I need to use the table2 to figure out the
projects I am totaling and the projects to adjust against.
Table2:
Project Task AdjProject Billable PercentBillable
A1 TPV A2 1 100%
A2 ITM 0 0
A3 AUDIT A2 1 100%
Billable = 1 tells me that projects A1 and A3 need to be adjusted
against project A2.
Please, can anyone help?
Thanks,
NinelHi
The principles are the same as your previous post.
SELECT p.Project, p.Emp, p.Task, p.Hours,
CASE WHEN p.Task in ('Audit','TPV') THEN 0 ELSE p.hours + (p.Hours/t.total1)
* t.total2 END
FROM #ProjectTime P,
( SELECT CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN Task in ('Audit','TPV') THEN 0 ELSE Hours END)
AS DECIMAL(8,3)) as Total1,
CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN Task in ('Audit','TPV') THEN Hours ELSE 0 END) AS
DECIMAL(8,3)) as Total2
FROM #ProjectTime ) t

Adjusting column width in queried dataset

I am trying to eliminate the extra space in columns that have been returned from a DB query...the tables have character lengths of 40, I would like to return just the necessary characters.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try rtrim(ltrim(columnname) in the query?

adjust x,y position of crystal report data field from VB

dear friend,

as you know, to adjust x,y position of any data field on Crystal report,
we just open CR and manually put and adjust the datafield...

But how if our VB application want to change this setting too ?
how to pass the x,y parameter of specific data field to crystal report, so crystal report will adjust automatically before it displays. ??

Thank you,If you use RDC to display or print the report, you can do it by changing the properties of the object.

Report1.Object1.Property1 = Value1

MyRpt.fldDate.Left = 1500
MyRpt.fldDate.Top = 250

Adjust values in db base in the value modified on the form?

Hi everyone,

Here is the problem I am facing with. I have a form which has multiple fields including Price (read only), Discount(read/write), TotalSellPrice(read/write), Quantity(read/write) ... What I need to do is I need to adjust TotalSellPrice value if there was a new Discount value entered and vise versa. If both values have been changed I should use Discount value entered and calculate the TotalSellPrice. I am having hard time figuring the query out. Any thoughts or ideas in what direction should I go.

Paste your query or the tables involved and explain what you want in new one?|||I don't have any query yet, I need to come up with the query that will check which value has been changed and do update approprietly.

Ex. #1 - Discount value is changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (changed to) 10%
TotalSellPrice $0 (hasn't been changed) -> I need to calculate it then. it becomes $180

Ex. #2 - Discount and TotalSellPrice values are changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (changed to) 10%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $150
Then I need to calculate TotalSellPrice since both Discount and TotalSellPrice values have been changed. TotalSellPrice becomes $180

Ex. #3 - TotalSellPrcie value is changed
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (hasn't been changed) -> I need to calculate it. Discount is 25%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $150

Ex. #4 - TotalSellPrice value is changed to number bigger then it's original one then I have to keep Discount at 0% don't go negative
Price is $100
Quantity was 0 (changed to) 2
Discount was 0% (hasn't been changed) -> I need to keep Discount at 0%
TotalSellPrice $0 (changed to) $250|||I don't have any query yet, I need to come up with the query that will check which value has been changed and do update approprietly.

Whatever I make out from the above problem is, you want to adjust the data according to the changes in the other fields.I think you can easily do it at the front end and send the update query to the database according to its invoice no.
An user can see the store data and update it anytime by changing the different fields.You can do the neccessary calculation at the front end.And pass a simple update query to the database.That will do the trick..|||I think you can easily do it at the front end and send the update query to the database according to its invoice no.
The thing is it would not be efficient from a programming stand point, because I have to grab all the information from the database and store it somewhere in the session, then compare it to what user enters, then create a query dynamically instead of using stored procedure. I need a back end query that will handle all these stuff for me.

Any idea?|||Any idea?

And you need not have to create a stored procedure for such a small calculation.I think so...;)|||Maybe I explained it incorrectly, I am sorry.
What I do I initially populate those fields with the default data from the database

Ex. - Initial page load
Price -> "$100"
Quantity -> "0"
Discount -> "0%"
TotalSellPrice -> "$0"

After user updates any of writable fields I do update and populate that form again but base on the rules I described before, I hope that explains everything.|||Maybe I explained it incorrectly, I am sorry.

So...?? You can write the adjustment code in asp page,and simply update the record.Mind it you are not doing anything more than that..so I don't think on the point of efficiency ,use of stored procedure will make any difference...|||After user updates any of writable fields I do update and populate that form again but base on the rules I described before...You think it is efficient or good programming practice to make a call to the database every time a user changes a value on a form?

It's not, and you certainly wouldn't design scalable enterprise applications this way.

Your form should get complete recordsets from the database (even defaults), and should submit complete recordsets to the database.

And frankly, you don't have to store all the detail data to keep track of the new total. NewTotal = OldTotal - OldValue + NewValue. That is just three variables.

Adjust number of decimal places

I have a column used in my report that has values such as:
496.1000
These are money values and thus I require them to be in the format:
496.10
How do I get rid of the two extra zeroes?
(my sql statement actually does it, but they still appear in reporting
services for some reason)
Thanks!Don't worry about the above - I found the answer in the SQL 2005

adjust my code

Hi,
I've created this code to determine the dates for an exam when a
certification must be met within a X number of months or years. The last
deadline date for an exam is the enddate. The marge where one can
schedule his time to study depends on how many exams he must take. So
based on the enddate i calculate backwards to the startdate to get
intervals of when the next examdate should be.
In my testscenario i used 12 months and the number of exams are 4. The
code gave me the results i needed, but when i tried e.g. 18 months the
results are not what i expected. The dates are somewhat correct but
there were too many dates.
Can someone see the error in my code?
declare @.exams int,
@.begindate datetime,
@.enddate datetime,
@.examdate datetime,
@.intervals int,
set @.begindate = '2005-11-23'
set @.enddate = dateadd(mm,12,@.begindate)
set @.exams = 4
set @.intervals = datediff(mm,@.begindate,@.enddate)/@.exams
create table #examdates(id int identity(1,1) , examdate datetime)

months that you have to take each exam based on the way that you set it.
datediff(mm,@.begindate,@.enddate)/@.exams
So for 12 months this would be 3 but for 18 months it would be 4.5.
You then use this as the loop constraint for adding in your exam dates.
It seems to me like your look constraint should just be the number of exams
that you need to take since you are trying to find a date when to take each
of the exams.
This is the core of your problem. I didn't put any thought into the rest of
the algorithm and how you might be able to accomplish your goal easier.

Hi Uri,
I want to return 4 examdates because the number of exams to be taken are
4, the higher the months the longer someone may study until the next
date occurs.
In case of adding 18 months to the begindate, divide that with the
number of exams, you'll get 4.5 months. So knowing the enddate (is also
the last examdate deadline) i substract the 4.5 months from the enddate
which will give me the examdate before that and so on.
Can you find the mistake i have made in the code?|||Try the following script. I have given some hint about changes made in your
script. Inside the While loop, I have removed the select statement from the
#examdates table. This will enhance performance.
declare @.exams int,
@.begindate datetime,
@.enddate datetime,
@.examdate datetime,
@.intervals int
-- Added script
declare @.NextExamDate datetime, @.LastExamDate datetime
--
set @.begindate = '20051101'
set @.enddate = dateadd(mm,12,@.begindate)
-- Added script
set @.LastExamDate = @.enddate
--
set @.exams = 4
--[replaced with below line] set @.intervals =
datediff(mm,@.begindate,@.enddate)/@.exams
set @.intervals = datediff(dd,@.begindate,@.enddate)/@.exams
--create table #examdates(id int identity(1,1) , examdate datetime)
--i inserted the enddate as startingpoint, but this could be done
--better, i think
insert into #examdates(examdate)
values(@.enddate)
-- While loop script with lots of changes
while @.exams > 1
begin
set @.NextExamDate = dateadd(dd,-@.intervals,@.LastExamDate)
insert into #examdates(examdate) values(@.NextExamDate)
set @.LastExamDate = @.NextExamDate
set @.exams = @.exams -1
end
--
select examdate from #examdates order by examdate

recalcing it on the fly within the loop. I am going to just keep your base
logic, and show you how you can correct it so it works.
I changed it slightly to find days between exams because I'm thinking that
you can evenly divide the months by the number of exams is not correct. Wha
t
I did will not necessarily give you your last exam on your end date due to
integer math. But, it should be close. We could put in a condition that
checks if we are setting the last date and just set it as the enddate. Let
me know if you need help with that.-
declare @.exams int,
@.begindate datetime,
@.enddate datetime,
@.examdate datetime,
@.intervals int,
@.months int,
@.daysBetweenExams
set @.begindate = '2005-11-23'
set @.exams = 4
set @.months = 12
set @.enddate = dateadd(mm,@.months,@.begindate)
set @.daysBetweenExams = datediff(dd, @.begindate, @.enddate)/@.exams
create table #examdates(id int identity(1,1) , examdate datetime)
set @.examdate = @.begindate
while (select count(*) from #examdates) <= @.exams
begin
SELECT @.examdate = dateadd(dd, @.daysBetweenExams, @.examdate)
insert into #examdates(examdate)
values(@.examdate)
end
select examdate from #examdates order by examdate

Hi Jason,
Why not use a set-based query instead of looping?
-- inputs:
DECLARE @.begindate datetime,
@.enddate datetime,
@.exams int
SET @.begindate = '2005-11-23'
SET @.enddate = '2007-05-23'
SET @.exams = 4
-- generate exam dates
--INSERT INTO @.examdate(examdate)
SELECT DATEADD(month,
Number * DATEDIFF(month, @.begindate, @.enddate) / @.exams,
@.begindate)
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE Number BETWEEN 1 AND @.exams
Note: this requires the use of a numbers table. See www.aspfaq.com/2516.

Hi hugo,
your solution did the job. Thnx!

adjust colours of bars in bar charts at run time

Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the colours of the bars in
bar charts at run time using custom assemblies or functions? I have
clicked on all the options I can find and I can see no expression
capability for the colours of the bars, only a selection of color
schemes...is this just not an option in 2000?
Thanks
Peter
www.peternolan.comYou will need to have at least SP1 of Reporting Services 2000 installed (on
the server and on the report designer). Please check the SP1/SP2 Readme for
more details:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/1/3/513534ae-a0e7-44e6-9a04-ba3c549a5f5f/sp2Readme_EN.htm#_chart_enhancements
You can also search the archives of this newsgroup and you should find many
related threads about setting datapoint colors in charts.

I just installed RS...SP2.....yes, I understand I can change the
colour of the data points printed on the chart at run time.....but I
cannot see any way to change the colour of the bar itself....it only
appears that I can change the style of the report between things like
'excel', 'earthy', 'transparent' etc...and the colours of the bars are
rendered according to these definitions for all bars in the
series.....
No big deal as I will probably use another charting package on
2005...but I was wondering if I can do this in RS charts...
Thanks
Peter|||Peter,
I've done this in the following way:
In Chart Properties, Data, Values, Edit, Appearance, Series Style I use this
function:
= Code.GetColor(Fields!RightsHolder.Value)
And in the code for the report I have:
Public Function GetColor(ByVal RightsHolder As String) As String
if RightsHolder = "EMI" Then
Return "#CC3333" ' "Red"
end if
if RightsHolder = "EMI RW" Then
Return "Pink"
end if
if RightsHolder = "WMG" Then
Return "#3300CC" ' "Blue"
end if
if (RightsHolder <> "WMG") and (RightsHolder <> "EMI") and (RightsHolder
<> "EMI RW") Then
Return "Black"
end if
End Function

thanks for that...I will give it a go.
Peter|||You cannot define your own custom palettes directly. The closest you can get
is to use the approach discussed in the following blog posting (it also
provides a sample for download):
http://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/archive/2005/05/20/420349.aspx
The sample defines its own "color palette" by always overriding the colors
that come from the selected color palette.

you are brilliant!!! Thank You!!!!
When I read this I thought it related to the numbers that were printed
on the chart if they were printed...but when I tested I found it was
the bar and line colour that it was referring to...now I can pass data
from the row to a member of a custom assembly and get it to generate
the bars on the chart to be the colours I want!!
Thank you very much for this...this is a feature I really wanted on my
charts....

www.peternolan.com|||Hello,
I read the blog and for HTML and PDF it works great. However when i export a
report to excel, excel reinterprets the colors to what it can handle.
In my case i made a colorpalette of only oranges and browns. When i export
it to excel, the graph itself is exported ok. Only the colors i used in the
legend table are changed. eg. GoldenRod, Orange and DarkOrange are all
reverted to the same color.
Is there a way to have the table also exported as a picture or something to
get the right color across?

I don't seem to have the 'Series Style" section showing on my 'Appearance'

Have installed SP2 for RS 2000 on the server, but surely this is a "client"
issue with

Any ideas?

Adhoc vs PROC

Hi Guru,

When I ran my adhoc script below it generated only 45000 reads or 4 seconds but when I wrapped it into procedure it took about two minutes or millions of reads. The parameters calling both adhoc and proc are indeed the same. I'm pretty 99.9% sure that the proc does not recompile because I don't mix up between DDL and DML, no temp tables or any thing to cause proc to recompile. The big difference is adhoc used index scan for 45% but proc used bookmark lookup for 75%. Why it's so difference since they both returned the same results?

Please help...

When wrapped in SP have you recompiled for the first time to execute the same, check the estimated execution plan from QA in this case that explains why there is delay.

Hi Silaphet,

You might suffer from parameter sniffing. Google for this term to find
out what it is and how you can try to deal with it.

You should also consider creating three procedures for the three
versions of the SELECT statement, and change your current stored proc
into a simple IF ELSE tree to call either one of them. This way, each
stored proc can get an execution plan that is otimized for its
parameters.

Run this:

select objectproperty(object_id('yoursp'), 'ExecIsAnsiNullsOn'),
objectproperty(object_id('yoursp'), 'ExecIsQuotedIdentOn')

If any of these return 0, recreate the procedure and make sure that
the settings ANSI_NULLS and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER are ON. This matters if
there is an indexed view or an index on a computed column. They can
only be used if these two settings are active, and these two are saved
with the stored procedure.

It could also depend how you pass the parameters, as Hugo discussed,
but we don't that. If the script is your actual ad-hoc script, it
may be that it works better if you copy the parameters to local variables.

Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at

"(StartDate BETWEEN @.FromDate-365 AND @.ToDate-365)"

What happens on leap years?

It's impossible to tell what the performance of this query is going to
be like without knowing how all of the tables and views are structured.
I'd imagine that your biggest issue is going to be with the range of
dates that you're dealing with, but there's no way to know for sure
without knowing the table structure, view definitions, and statistical
distribution of data in the tables.

My advice: If it's not a proc that's being used a lot during the day,
try defining it with the RECOMPILE option (see docs) so that the
procedure gets re-optimized each time you run it.

Ad-hoc reporting

We have a web application using SQL Server 2000, and we'd like to add ad-hoc
reporting. Here are the options we thought of so far:
1. Use SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services - but we're not sure how "ad-hoc"
we can get using SSRS. Has anyone tried?
2. Use a 3rd party reporting software package. Does anyone know of any?
3. Build a custom .NET ad-hoc app that is fine tuned for this application.
This is likely the most costly.
The goal is to have the users build and save report templates, and the be
able to select any combination of fields in the relational schema to include
in the reports, and select on any fields as well.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thank you!!My suggestion is to investigate Report Builder which comes with RS 2005. It
is an ad hoc reporting solution that came out with RS 2005. This is
non-trivial to create on your own and from a cost perspective you will be
better off paying for the upgrade. Plus RS 2005 is much faster for Excel and
PDF output, has multi-select parameters, end user sorting and date picker.
Note that as long as you pay the license you can upgrade just RS and leave
your database at 2000.

Ad-hoc reporting memory consumption

Hi to all, on our project we are facing this problem: our users using report builder are making reports containing several Mb of data (sometimes also 1Gb!). Now it happens that when 3-4 users do a report like that on the server the process w3wp.exe reaches also 10 Gb of memory allocated and then the whole reporting services istance stops working. We want to limit the number of rows that can be extracted from the sql server db using report builder. In the report model reference seems that there is not this kind of option (something like "max rowcount"). Is it possible to set this limit to the user that connects to sql server (something like: whatever is the query this user does, set @.@.rowcount to 10000)? Thanks. Alberto.

Hi Alberto,

We are currently facing your same issue. Did you get some solution to limit the rowcount on reportbuilder models? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi Cato, unluckly it seems that there isn't a good solution. Keep an eye on security filters on report models,this is the only thing that seems to "filter" data.

HTH.

Alberto
