How to control format of datetime attributes?

There is an attribute that have type DateTime, based on the field type in data source. It hasn't separate name column. The member caption is formatted as yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss. Can I control the format of Member name without giving separate name column.

I assigned different format in the format field of key property window, but it had no effect. What I did wrong?

Hello. I do not think that you will have to pay any penalty from adding a new column in the data source view with a new format of your date column. I recommend to use the TSQL function CONVERT that have arguments for different date formats. Have a look at CONVERT in Books On Line, and you will see the complete list of different codes/arguments for different date formats.

Thank you,

I thought about more sofisticated solution, that can be used in multi culture environment without adding x additional fields with "formatting" of a datetime attribute.

I hoped, that the AS2005 is smarter as AS2005 and offers more possibilties.

Do you know what is the format field in key properties for?

How to connection to ODBC data source ?

How to connection to ODBC data source ?Tongue TiedIn the Connections pane, right-click and select New Connection.... You will now have the complete list of available connections rather than the top few, choose ODBC - Connection Manager for ODBC connections.

How to connect to the SQl server EXPRESS using 'ODBC Data Source A

Hi All,
Recently I have installed SQl server express edition. I was able to connect
to the SQL server from my .NET project using connection parameter like:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\Documents and Settings\Raju\My
Documents\Sanjib SQL DBs\IBuyAdventure\IBuyAdventure.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
Now I need to connect to the same SQL server from 'ODBC Data Source
Aministrator' wizard, that I am unable to do. The wizard is asking me (for
system DSn and File DSN) for SQL server name (I do no know what to give, is
it (local) or something) and how to login authenticate (with windows
authentication or something). Now if I goto Services/SQl Server (SQLEXPRESS)
, click LogOn I see that 'Local System Account' is checked. Pls tell me how
to connect to this SQl server using System DSN connection wizard.
By the way I am the administrator of this machine where I have instlled the
SQl server...
Thanks in advance,

do not think he can connect to User Instance through ODBC DSN Wizard (why
use ODBC anyway?). I am not should if it is possible to connect to SQL
Server Express' User Instance through OdbcConnection object in
System.Data.Odbc namespace, but it is certain your sample code will not.

Pipe name for the instance but if you haven't already started the user
instance with a managed code connection, ODBC won't start it. If your main
application is using ODBC, I would recommend attaching the database to the
main instance so it is always running and the ODBC connection can find it.
There is more information on named instances and how to connect to them

If you HAVE to access the database on SQL Server Express via something other
than ADO.NET2.0's System.Data SqlClient namespace, why use User Instannce?
The whole point of using user instance is to limit the database setup/access
within current user's privilidge of access to the computer. If a user has to
use ODBC DSN Wizard, it may well requires the user has a bit more privilidge
that usual. Also, an user instance is not available to other user even the
other user uses the same computer.

The whole point came like this. I am trying to install a SQl server driven
3rd party application and after the applications gets installed the database
installation wizard appears and tht wizard asks me to connect to the SQL
server using ODBC DSN, so I need to know the parameters for connecting to the
SQL server, which I don't know it seems, b'case while installing SQL server
2005 it never asked me for a server name/login password. And now it is
running using the 'Local System Account' i.e. Local Admin account that is me.
May be my SQL server 2005 is using user instance, although I am not sure.
The fact that I am not that much knowlegeble in SQL severs, much worked in
microsoft programming languages, and SQl server for me is a database server
tht always worked.
I will try from the URL provided by Roger and let u know...
Thanks,
Sanjib

install an user instance (I am not sure). However, form your first post,
according to the ConnectionString, you are trying to use an User Instance.
User Instance of SQL Server Express is a special installation of SQL Server
Express. It seems you need a bit more study on what an user instance is, so
that you can tell if your intallation is an user instance or not, and
whether you need an user instance or not. IMO, SQL Server Express's user
instance does not go with ODBC.

unrelated elements in your posting. First you were able to use ADO.Net in
Visual Studio to create a database. This database was a user instance which
is why this came up in our answers. On a completely unrelated note you now
want to install a third party application that uses ODBC to connect to the
database.
Go into the Windows Control Panel and select Administrative Tools. One of
the tools is ODBC data sources. Select the System DSN or User DSN as
required for your application and click ADD. Select the SQL Native Client
Driver. Fill in a name which you get to choose (probably the application is
looking for a particular name), leave the description blank and put
.\SQLExpress in the server field. Select the defaults for the rest unless
you already know the database name you want to make your default database.
If not, the default will be "master".

Roger's trick to connect to the SQL server worked for me, I was able to use
the ODBC data source wizard to connect to the SQL server. It worked for me.
Now I will be happy if this SQL server let me create a user (for this SQL
server) for me, at least one user with all the DBA permission. Is tht
possible, pls let me know...
By the time I have started reading some materials for SQL server. ANother
thing with this SQL server 2005 express, there is no SQl explore window where
I can find create the SQL server Datavase/queries etc. Why is it so.
Although many thanks for your kind help and suggestions...

How to connect to the SQl server EXPRESS using 'ODBC Data Source A

Hi All,
Recently I have installed SQl server express edition. I was able to connect
to the SQL server from my .NET project using connection parameter like:
Data Source=. \SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\Document
s and Settings\Raju\My
Documents\Sanjib SQL DBs\IBuyAdventure\IBuyAdventure.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
Now I need to connect to the same SQL server from 'ODBC Data Source
Aministrator' wizard, that I am unable to do. The wizard is asking me (for
system DSn and File DSN) for SQL server name (I do no know what to give, is
it (local) or something) and how to login authenticate (with windows
authentication or something). Now if I goto Services/SQl Server (SQLEXPRESS)
, click LogOn I see that 'Local System Account' is checked. Pls tell me how
to connect to this SQl server using System DSN connection wizard.
By the way I am the administrator of this machine where I have instlled the
SQl server...
Thanks in advance,

Pipe name for the instance but if you haven't already started the user
instance with a managed code connection, ODBC won't start it. If your main
application is using ODBC, I would recommend attaching the database to the
main instance so it is always running and the ODBC connection can find it.
There is more information on named instances and how to connect to them
here:

If you HAVE to access the database on SQL Server Express via something other
than ADO.NET2.0's System.Data SqlClient namespace, why use User Instannce?
The whole point of using user instance is to limit the database setup/access
within current user's privilidge of access to the computer. If a user has to
use ODBC DSN Wizard, it may well requires the user has a bit more privilidge
that usual. Also, an user instance is not available to other user even the
other user uses the same computer.

what seems to be a problem, please help me??Is your connection string correct (server address, username, password, etc.)? Does the user your authenticating as have the correct permissions on the database?

Ryan|||i ran into this problem a few weeks ago as well, like the previous poster stated, you have to make sure they have an account in the sql server itself, not just a windows account. So the problem isn't with your code (assuming no spelling errors or the such) but with the sql server authenticating the user name and password. Hope that helps.|||Besides the suggestions given above, make sure you have SQL Server Authentication configured to be Mixed mode. Checkthis for the configuration.|||To Strongtypes,

Yes, I write the correct server, database, username and password. basically i use sa account with password but it didn't work. I used sql server authentication mixed mode.|||To Darkempire and Alvin,

Thanks for the reply, You know I've done a lot of codes in my asp.net but unfortunately it appears errors in my webpage. This is my setup, my sql server 2000 is installed on other machine with the domain controller running windows server 2003. I have this local pc with my asp.net with web server(iis). I think that my web server does not locate my sql server database or my connection string is wrong but if I'm going to used my dreamweavermx to fetch data to my sql server database it will show up perfectly but when i code an asp.net and run in my localhost, bang errorrs.. please help me|||

Let's do a connection testing on teh .NET client machine: new a '.udl' file e.g. test.udl, then double click to edit it->switch to Provider tab and choose 'SQL Native Client' (which is the default provider when you add connectionstring element in your web.config)->click next to switch to Connection tab->entering connection information including login and pasword (the same as you connect to the SQL Server in DreamWeaver)->click Test Connection. If this succeeds, then the SQL Native Client provider is OK; otherwise there's something wrong with the SQL Native Client provider, so you need to change another provider.

To learn more about connection strings using different providers, you can visit:

How to connect to ODBC data source through C#. net

Hi experts,
I am doing an application which takes the DSN name from user in text
box and then open the ODBC data source dialog box. i.e. I want the
(ODBC data source administrator) form which comes after clicking on
ODBC data source icon in administrative tools.
Now my problem is that is it possible to call that system form
(utility) through my program or I have to design the same form (ODBC
data source administrator).
If I can call that form then please tell me how....i can do that?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

How to connect to Analysis Service Database through reporting service?

Hello,

In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.

I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.

I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.

As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Annie

To create a model based on an Analysis Services cube, use Report Manager. First create a data source which points to the cube, then click "Generate Model" on the data source properties page. AS models can't be edited. Full details are in Books Online, under "Reporting Services How-To Topics".

If you just want to create a report which uses the same data source as your cube, you do not need a report model project. Instead create a report project, add a new report, and create a report data source which uses the same connection settings as the cube data source.

How to Connect the Sybase IQ as a Data Source in MS SQL Analysis Services 2005

Hi
All,

Can any one know how to make a data source of Sybase IQ in Analysis Services.

I have OLE DB for Sybase.

Can i use that to connect Sybase IQ? If Yes than How.

Thanks,
Satish

Currently OLEDB for Sybase is not supported by Analysis Server. You will have to use a workarond to get data from Sybase. I can think of couple.

One is to create a linked server in SQL Server.
Second is to create a SSIS package reading data from Sybase and pumping it into Analysis Server using Dimension and Partition processing tasks.

For Sybase it is working fine.

But My source is Sybase IQ.

In Sybase IQ, we have host and port with database server name, while in sybase we have only database server name.

Edward,

At the following link you suggest creating a linked server from SQL Server to Sybase IQ as a workaround for getting Sybase IQ data in analysis services. What are the parameters that are necessary to link IQ to SQL Server. Which Provider do I use? Do I need to install a special driver?

Thanks,

How to connect Oracle Data Source for Reporting Service

I have the problem to connect Oracle data for my Report designer.

1st I used ODBC, it does not work, and my reference book "MS SQL server 2000 Reporting service step by step" tells me that I must select Oracle data provide instead of the generic ODBC.

I created a new data source and after I enter the userId/pswd and click "Test Connection" button, it is OK. But when I click "run" icon to try, it gives me the following error messages:

An error occurred while executing the query, ORA-00936:Missing expression

Additiona information:

ORA-00936:missing expression(system.Data.OracleClient)

My version of reporting service is 2005. The setting of "Connection Properties" as follows:

Data Source: Oracle (OracleClient) Server name: creonpra Log On to the database: UserId/Pswd= qmprodviewer/*********

I have very less knowledge about Oracle. I do not know Oracle Client software's coverage. I checked my program and only find Oracle 8i of "Net8 Assistant", "Net8 Config Assistant" and Oracle ODBC test" on my desktop PC.

Please help me to resolve the problem

Hi,

This looks like a query syntax error.

Did you use the query builder to create your Oracle query?

If you paste your query in a new database project can you execute it?

I would recommand to use the database project or Toad to debug the query, then when it is working, paste it back to your report dataset.

Philippe

|||

Yes definitely a syntax problem. Along with the other suggestion of trying it in the Oracle also try simple expressions first like...

select * from Table1

etc.

If your still stuck past the Syntax here and I can have a look at it since I connect primarily to Oracle DB's using the Oracle connection.

I'm trying to connect linked server to ibm db2 server
I'm confused about parameters:
product name?
data source (probably is name of the server?)
provider string?

data source to access DB2. Try with StarSQL (www.starquest.com), fast
and easy to setup.

how to configure TCP port for unattended install

I've looked through every source of material on SQL Server Express unattended installs that I could get my hands on, but so far, I've come up with nothing that shows how to set the server engine's TCP port to 1433.

Since the SQL Server setup is part of a (considerably) larger install, requiring the customer to set this by hand is not really acceptable.

Is there a way to do this with a command-line parameter (etc)?

Thanks in advance

Josh

i assume you mean to set the port to not 1433 as this is the default behavior|||

No, I meant exactly what I said.

For SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, static port 1433 is *not* the default. Its default is to use port numbers randomly assigned at run-time.

Josh

|||my bad dude, forgot express has that behavior :)|||

Sorry for not getting here sooner, there is no way to configure the TCP port during installation that is built in. You should be able to write a script that does it, and that script can be called once SQL Express has been installed.

Check out the options available in SMO or the WMI providers, I believe either will give you the ability to configure this.

>|||Satish,
There is no direct integration that I know of.
Save database objects such as stored procedures and triggers from Query Analyser or Enterprise Manager or a
Database project to file
Check them in and out from sourcesafe as files.
There have been a few discussions. You might try reading the archives:
http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en
with sourcesafe as the subject, searching in microsoft.public.sqlserver.server
Regards
AJ
p.s. You can do mean/clever things like loading / overwriting SQL objects from sourcesafe using .bat files as
a means of enforcing that
developers use sourcesafe - as unlike a filesystem based project, the "sourcecode" is in the database and is
readwrite beyond sourcesafe's control, so it takes a certain discipline to always check the file out before
you modify the object in SQL.

How to Configure DSN with DataReader Source

Hi
I am not able configure DSN in SSIS, I tired with DataReader Source but its given error
" Check SQL Command Property"
Appriciate to you for Help

Errr....try checking the SQLCommand property. What is it set to?
What is a DSN in SSIS?

You have to provide more specific info if you really want people to help.

-Jamie|||

Hi Jamie

I made one DSN which pointing Excel Driver, But when Create Connection Manager for these DSN by using ADO.NET Connection Manager.
When i configure this connection manager in DataReader Source its give as error "check SQL Command property"
Here I am ot able to set SQL Commmand property
so please Help me to set the property with any example

|||If you are connecting to Excel, why give yourself the added grief of maintaining an external DSN? Use the OLE DB Provider for Jet and a file path. ODBC simply adds one more unnecessary layer of DLLs in the background.

-Doug|||Thanks Doug
I got it from OLE DB,Thanks again for your help

How to configure DataReader Source for DataFlow

Dear Friends,

I have to import dBASE files to SQL Server. For this I have created one ODBC connection manager for those dBASE files. This I have to set for DataReader Source. But I am unable to configure the DataReader Source.

So, Please tell me how to configure DataReader Source for ODBC connection Manager.

Eagerly waiting for your valuable reply............

Santosh

INDIA

Are you getting any error?

Once in the data reader; you should provide the query and the connection manager information.

|||

Hello Santosh

Instead of creating an ODBC Connection Manager, you should create a ADO.NET Connnection Manager that uses the OdbcClient provider, and configure it to use the DSN you've set up for dBASE. I haven't tried dBASE specifically, but as a general statement the DataReader Source works only with ADO.NET connections.
