How do I add an ODBC connection data source as a Data Flow Source

I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.

Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?

Thanks in advance

ADG

Use DataReader Source for ODBC connections.|||

How do you know that the slowness is in the OLE DB sauce component and not in the destination component? How are you setting up the OLE Source component? Providing a query would be faster than selecting a table from the dropdown list.

In general I would not expect ODBC to be faster than OLE DB. but you can test it; create 2 different dataflows 1 with datareader(ODBC) and other with OLEDB (provide a query!) and then connect it to a rowcount or union all transform. When you run the packages you will be able to tell how long it takes to 'read' the data.

How do I add a Percentage Column after the Total on a Matrix?

Hi. I am looking to create a Matrix-based Report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have my query, and a dynamic number of both rows and columns. I have Totals on the "bottom" and "right".

What I'd like to do is add a Percentage column to the right of the right-based Totals column. So the columns would read Col1, Col2, .., ColN, Total, Percentage.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

You could do something like - matrixcoltotal / matrixtotal and set your Format Code to P0 on the properties window.

Your expression will look something like this. =Sum(Fields!ReportField.Value,"MatrixGroup")/Sum(Fields!ReportField.Value,"dataset"). Dont forget to change the FormatCode.

|||How would I place this column to the RIGHT of the Subtotal column?

|||

Add an invisible column group which will be grouped by the percentage expression and add the subtotal to this colum group have the which will give you the sum of all individual percentages.

Shyam

|||Here is the error message I am receiving:

"A group expression for the matrix 'matrix1' includes an aggregate function. Aggregate functions cannot be used in group expressions."

I created a new Column group, outside of my month-by-month column group, and made it invisible. I do see a new "Total" to the right....however when I put in my sum(value, "InnerRowGroup")/sum(value, "OuterRowGroup") as the group expression, I get the above error.

Thank you both greatly for your help. I feel about 75% towards getting this to work.

Jason

No, you dont have to group by the aggregate which is an obvious logical error. Just group by the expression without the sum function which would be:

Fields!InnerGroupField/Fields!OuterGroupField

Then using the subtoal would automatically mean a sum which is what you want I guess.

Shyam

|||What if the percentage I want to calculate is the ratio between two columns? Is this possible, or will I have to pivot the data in the database before I send it to SSRS? This would suck since I have to completely revamp the stored proc.

How do I add a data source view and report model to an existing project

I have an existing project with the data source and report folder with working reports. I need to create a model for other department members to use Report Builder, not Business Intelligence Developer Studio, to develop their reports from. How do I add a data source view and report model folder to the project so I can then create a view and model?

Report Models are part of a separate project type. Create a new "Report Model" project and you will be able to create the DSV and report model there.

How do I access sqldatasource data values in code behind?

How do I accesssqldatasource data values in code behind and bind them to strings or texboxes etc. as oposed to using Eval in the markup?

I can create a new database connection, but I would like to use the data values from the autogenerated sqldatasource control

Many thanks,

Here is one way. It simply creates a table and adds the rows and columns from the data source

Not clear then exactly what you're missing then.
Build the string for the file name and use dynamic SQL to execute it.

No. The restore process restores the database to the location indicated
within the backup.
The only way I'm aware of changing this is the WITH MOVE option.

But then you have the solution in the error message - use the MOVE
option. SQL server tries to restore to the original files but those
files are in use by another database.
Look up RESTORE command in Books On Line - that will give you all the
options and syntax you need.

Databaseadministrator / Systemadministrator|||have a look at one of the prior posts I wrote.
I want it to take place automatically, without manually telling the SQL
Server which physical path the data files should have.
there is one server in which I can do it, but I do not know what is the
difference in the configuration. this one works:
create database "George_1Month001"
go
restore database "George_1Month001" from
disk=3D'c:\MSSQL\BackupFiles\Ver141-Sample' with replace
go
-- Restore into a new database

There must be a difference in these 2 servers. The errormessage you
posted, says that the mdf file can't be overwritten because it's used by
another database. Try to check if any other database on that server, is
using that mdf file. What about the disk an directory layout - is that
the same on both servers?

How do a get a listing of all available SQL Servers on a network.

I want to create a web app that will allow a user to select from a drop down or lookup all available SQL Server databases.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremyi answered my own question... hope this helps some one

To restate my problem.
I need an app that will list all of the available SQL Servers on a network. There are many ways to do this ... this is one. I would like to see better ways if anyone has time.

1. Download the SQLUtils.dll from (watch for line wrap)
http://codeproject.com/useritems/listsqlservers.asp?print=true

2. Register the SQLUtils.dll using regsvr32.exe
> regsvr32 c:/inetpub/wwwroot/lib/sqlutils.dll

3. Build your web form

// C#

using SQLUtils;

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBox1;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button1;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox ListBox1;

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
SQLUtils.ListServers oSqlUtils = new SQLUtils.ListServers();
// String svr = new String();
oSqlUtils.Domain = TextBox1.Text;
oSqlUtils.GetSQLServers();
foreach( String svr in oSqlUtils.Servers )
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(svr);
} // end of foreach loop
} // end of Button1_Click()

4. You will need to add a reference in your project to the .dll file. Right click on the project and select "Add Reference". Browse to the location and select.

I also found these... (watch for line wrap)

How delete a log file

I have unfortunately create a second log file for a database.
So i have now 1 DataFile.mdf, 1 DataLog1.ldf and 1 DataLog2.ldf
I would delete DataLog2.ldf, but it's now the active log file, and the
operation can't terminate.
Thanks
Try DBCC SHRINKFILE with the EMPTYFILE option.
Hope this helps.

|||Hi Jean-Paul,
Can you try detaching the database, delete the log file and then attach
the database? There are packages available within sqlserver "sp_detach_db"
and
"sp_attach_single_file_db".? Take a backup to be safe before making this
structural change.
Thanks,

|||Hi Chandan,
sp_attach_single_file_db command might fail if you have multiple LDF files.
As well it is risky to do this command on a production server.
Jean_paul,
You could follow the Dan Guzmans option, I can detail you the steps to
remove 1 LDF file :-
Insted of detaching the database you can empty the second LDF and Remove the
file.
How to check the number of LDF files used by a database:-
sp_helpdb <dbname>
If you have 2 LDF files ,to remove a file , you must first have the data
moved off of the file onto the other members in the data set.
To do this, use the EMPTY FILE parameter in DBCC SHRINKFILE command. This
will empty the file and mark it as unavailable.
See the commands to remove a ldf :-
backup log <dbname> to disk='c:\backup\dbname.trn'
go
use <dbname>
go
dbcc shrinkfile('logical_log_filename_to_delete','empty file')
go
alter database <dbname> remove file 'logical_log_file_name_to_delete'
Thanks

the XMLSCHEMA option don't work with EXPLICIT mode right?
Since you already know the structure that you want, best is to create your
XML Schema a priori using for example the VisualStudio schema designer. You
can even use an example document to infer much of the schema structure...

How create named set across dimensions...

CREATE SET [Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast]
AS {
([Accounts].[Account].Members,
[Sales Region].&[NorthEast],
[Date Account Created].[Is Last 30 Days].&[True]

And it returned the right set of subset of accounts, but I ran into two problems:

1) in addition to the account column showing up in query results, it returned the [Sales Region] and [Date Account Created] columns, which in retrospect makes sense because the "dimensionality" of the set includes all three dimensions. and because of this,

2) when I try to use the set in Excel 2007 pivottables, it doesn't show the set in the pivottable list of sets under the accounts dimension.

Any help would be great as I'm kinda stuck right now on being able to easily build excel 2007 reports. Happy Day...

I think Excel only show single hierarchical sets. In order to do what you are looking for, I think you should use the following:

CREATE SET [Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast]
AS Exists([Accounts].[Account].Members,
{[Sales Region].&[NorthEast]}*{[Date Account Created].[Is Last 30 Days].&[True]})

First, thanks a ton for the quick response. It really helped me understand more about Exists.

Second, I tried this, but it doesn't seem to be working the way I'd expect it. For example, if I run the following query:

SELECT
{[Sales Region].Members} on columns,
{[Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast] } on rows
FROM [CUBE]

I would expect it to show only accounts along the rows where the region is the NorthEast because that's how the set was defined. It doesn't. When I do this, it lists many more accounts in other regions. It appears as though any time I include the set in a query it ignores the "filter" dimensions that I put in the exists if they aren't attributes of the [Accounts] dimension...in this case the [Sales Region] and [Date Account Created] dimensions. Am I missing something or do I need to move every attribute from the related dimensions into the [Accounts] so they are attributes of [Accounts]. Seem like this would totally defeat the reason for having broken out the dimensions in the first place.

Thanks for any help can give as I'm kinda frustrated with this one......

Indeed, Exists only works with attributes from the same dimension, because it performs join based on the dimension table. If you have separate dimensions, then the only table to use for join is the fact table, in which case you need to use NonEmpty function if you want to take into account calculations inside the cube, or Exists(,,measuregroupname) function if you want to go purely after the fact table (the latter is more rare). More discussion on this subject is here: http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/mosha/archive/2006/10/09/nonempty_exists_necj.aspx

So assuming NonEmpty, your query would be

WITH SET [Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast] AS

NonEmpty([Accounts].[Account].Members, {[Sales Region].&[NorthEast]}*{[Date Account Created].[Is Last 30 Days].&[True]})

SELECT
{[Sales Region].Members} on columns,
{[Accounts Created in Last 30 Days from NorthEast] } on rows
FROM [CUBE]

WOW...thanks again for quick reply.

Is this true if have snowflaked dimensions? Right now I have it where

FACT > [Accounts]

[Accounts] > [Sales Region]

[Accounts] > [Account Date Created]

Is the root of all my pain that I haven't designed this so...

FACT > [Accounts]

FACT > [Sales Region]

FACT > [Account Date Created]

I was assuming that because Accounts is related directly to the other dimensions that this would work.

I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

Exists works inside dimension regardless whether it is snowflake or not. Based on your schema, it seems like you should've defined Sales Region and Account Date Created as attributes inside Accounts dimension, not as separate dimensionss

how i will can create a install for SSIS package

My project uses WIX to do this. Please don't ask me to give you a sample, that's more detail than I'm prepared to put into a forum post
