Cretae a view in one DB with a stored procedure from another DB

Hi,

Ik created an application with visuals basic.NET. This has a
connection string to one database, let's say 'A'. In this database a
stored procedure is called which should execute a string (which is
passed by the) VB tool. This string is a CREATE VIEW statement en this
should be executed in another database let's say 'B'.

I tried this in Transact - SQL

EXEC('USE B;' + Query)

An error occurs : CREATE VIEW should be the first in a batched
statement.

Could anyone help me with this one?

You need a GO right before the CREATE VIEW statement, and this won't work in
dynamic SQL. In any case, this isn't really a good way to create a database
object - it would probably be a lot easier for your client application to
connect directly to database B. Or if you really want to do it from SQL,
then why not create the stored procedure in database B and call it from
database A?

It might help if you can explain what you're trying to achieve, and someone
may be able to suggest a better solution, as creating objects dynamically
from a user application can create significant problems with security and
maintenance. But since you didn't say what your goal is, you may have a good
reason for doing this.

Credentials in Reporting Services?

I have created several reports in SQL Server 2005 reporting services and I am viewing those reports in my C# application using a report viewer control. I want to pass the credentials for each report through my applications. I do not want to use any web service.

Is it possible?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

TIA

YOu can use the URL Parameters to pass the username and the password, look in the BOL for more information, the syntax for that is:

prefix:datasourcename=value

as the prefix is dsu (for user) or dsp (for password)

Thanks for your reply Jens!!!

But I am using a Report Viewer control in my application. How can I pass the username and password in this case?

|||Hi,
Hope this could help you

System.Net.CredentialCache myCache = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
myCache.Add(new Uri("http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"), "Basic", new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pass"));

reportViewer.ShowCredentialPrompts = false;
reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = myCache;
reportViewer.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;
reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl ="http://localhost/reportserver";
reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/yourReportFolder/" + "yourReportName";
reportViewer.PromptAreaCollapsed = false;
reportViewer.RefreshReport();

I am trying to use the example code provided for a simialr problem but the line (in VB)

reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = myCache

always shows as read only. How do I get round this please?

|||Hi ,
I think your using report viewer web control ofr asp.net. I had same problem.

I am attempting to secure my reports with Windows Authentication, but allow users of my application to access it from the www and supply credentials through my app. My app is a .Net 2.0 Windows SmartClient, and I am using the ReportViewer control.

I tried the following suggestion:

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(_txtServer.Text);

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = _listBox.Items[_listBox.SelectedIndex].ToString();

reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;

CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();

cc.Add(new Uri("http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"), "Basic",

new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text));

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = cc;

reportViewer1.ShowCredentialPrompts = false;

reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

...But I still get "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I am able to authenticate with the web service directly when requesting a list of available reports like this:

ReportingService rService = new ReportingService();

rService.Credentials

= new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text);

CatalogItem[] catalogItems;

catalogItems = rService.ListChildren("/", true);

Why can I pass windows credentials to the web service directly, but not through the reportViewer call to reporting services? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Glenn,

You might have got the solution for your problem, If not and/or for other developers who might visit this blog, please find the solution at following link. Actually you can get it work by setting ImpersonationUser instead of NetworkCredentials property.

Hi, you can try this, might help.

I pass the datasource credential through ReportViewer. It is the acutal database login credential instead of a net work credential. So in my application, which login user has nothing to do with Windows

network login user, I am using my application's user id and password to connect to datasource.

By doing this way, I can view a report using diffirent user id/password as long as they exist in the actual database.

It works for me.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

.............................

Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.DataSourceCredentials myCredential = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.DataSourceCredentials();

myCredential.UserId = "myuserid";

ReportDataSourceInfoCollection reportdatasourcecollection = this.reportViewer1.ServerReport.GetDataSources();

DataSourceCredentials[] myCredentials=null;

if (reportdatasourcecollection.Count > 0)

{

myCredentials = new DataSourceCredentials[reportdatasourcecollection.Count];

}

for (int iIndex = 0; iIndex < reportdatasourcecollection.Count; iIndex++)

{

ReportDataSourceInfo datasourceinfo = reportdatasourcecollection[iIndex];

myCredential.Name = datasourceinfo.Name;

myCredentials[iIndex] = myCredential;

Hi,

I am facing the same problem.

I used ReportDataSourceInfo then it gives error that DataSource doesnt support it. Error of rsdatasource

So what should be the Connection Methods in Shared DataSource?

Me too there's an error here.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem.

I used ReportDataSourceInfo then it gives error that DataSource doesnt support it. Error of rsdatasource

So what should be the Connection Methods in Shared DataSource?

Nilesh

Me too there's an error here.

ReportDataSourceInfoCollection reportdatasourcecollection = this.reportViewer1.ServerReport.GetDataSources();

any thoughts please?

thanks.

Ishwar,

Thanks for the link. That is awesome. I got it working using the following code.

ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials

= new NetworkCredential(properties.Username, properties.Password, properties.Domain);

Credentials in Reporting Services?

I have created several reports in SQL Server 2005 reporting services and I am viewing those reports in my C# application using a report viewer control. I want to pass the credentials for each report through my applications. I do not want to use any web service.

Is it possible?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

TIA

YOu can use the URL Parameters to pass the username and the password, look in the BOL for more information, the syntax for that is:

prefix:datasourcename=value

as the prefix is dsu (for user) or dsp (for password)

Thanks for your reply Jens!!!

But I am using a Report Viewer control in my application. How can I pass the username and password in this case?

|||Hi,
Hope this could help you

System.Net.CredentialCache myCache = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
myCache.Add(new Uri("http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"), "Basic", new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pass"));

I am trying to use the example code provided for a simialr problem but the line (in VB)

reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = myCache

always shows as read only. How do I get round this please?

I think your using report viewer web control ofr asp.net. I had same problem.
Its won't work for Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer.

I am attempting to secure my reports with Windows Authentication, but allow users of my application to access it from the www and supply credentials through my app. My app is a .Net 2.0 Windows SmartClient, and I am using the ReportViewer control.

I tried the following suggestion:

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(_txtServer.Text);

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = _listBox.Items[_listBox.SelectedIndex].ToString();

reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;

CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();

cc.Add(new Uri("http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"), "Basic",

new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text));

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = cc;

reportViewer1.ShowCredentialPrompts = false;

reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

...But I still get "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I am able to authenticate with the web service directly when requesting a list of available reports like this:

ReportingService rService = new ReportingService();

rService.Credentials

= new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text);

CatalogItem[] catalogItems;

catalogItems = rService.ListChildren("/", true);

Why can I pass windows credentials to the web service directly, but not through the reportViewer call to reporting services? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Glenn,

You might have got the solution for your problem, If not and/or for other developers who might visit this blog, please find the solution at following link. Actually you can get it work by setting ImpersonationUser instead of NetworkCredentials property.

I pass the datasource credential through ReportViewer. It is the acutal database login credential instead of a net work credential. So in my application, which login user has nothing to do with Windows

network login user, I am using my application's user id and password to connect to datasource.

By doing this way, I can view a report using diffirent user id/password as long as they exist in the actual database.

It works for me.

Creating XML output...unusual/impossible format?

Hi all,

I'm Trying to replicate the creation of an "xml" file that is currently created using a C++ application. I want to take that application out of the picture, but need to create the same format XML file because a step later in the production process uses this file, and I cannot change it.

The output format I am looking for is:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FUNDS>
<AMRGX>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</AMRGX>
<AHERX>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</AHERX>
<AMRVX>
<NAME>AMERICAN INVESTORS GROWTH FUND</NAME>
</AMRVX>
.
.
.
</FUNDS>The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get the level/node of the fund symbol (AMRGX, AHERX, and AMRVX in the example above) as it needs to be. I think this must be some non-standard use of XML, since the tag is really the data itself (?)

The closest I have been able to get so far is:
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AMRGX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN GROWTH D</NAME>
</FUNDS>
<FUNDS>
<SYMBOL>AHERX</SYMBOL>
<NAME>AMERICAN HERITAGE FUND</NAME>
</FUNDS>
.
.
.As you can see (hopefully) I am able to get the data I need but cannot get:
(1) the FUNDS tag(s) to be the very highest level/root.
nor (2) the SYMBOL part (tag label?) to be the actual variable stock fund.

Am I 'splaining this well enough? I don't necessarily need all the code, since I know I haven't given enough info to help with that, but my basic question is - - Is it possible to get a variable TAG based on the table DATA?

I want my SYMBOL tag to be the actual SYMBOL for the stock fund.

Confused? Not as much as I am *LOL* I am new to the use of all but XML EXPLICIT use, so any help would be appreciated - at least regarding my two formatting questions.

Yes, I have (and am still) searching around BOL for my answers, but so I have found nothing that helps me out. Meanwhile, suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!You cannot achieve this with a single SELECT statement because you can have only one column name for the entire result set.(you stated this already). If you need to have the column value as a tag then a stored procedure is the way to go where you can generate your own XML TAGs.

Thanks!|||Thanks for the reply.

I was afraid of that. The previous version of the product used a C++ program to generate the XML (or pseudo-XML) output. I was hoping it was just because the developer didn't know how to use the XML extraction stuff in SQL Server. *sigh*

Oh well, I guess I get to gain some C# practice, as the C++ application has the source of the data "hard coded" in the logic, and we need to use a predefined, "standard" linked server reference (aka "alias").|||"Can't be Done"?

The three words I tell developers to never let me hear, otherwise I bring out the baseball bat

Dude, you know the drill

DDL, DML, I gues we got the expected results already...|||Never mind...but I'm only guessing...

USE Northwind
GO

CREATE TABLE myTable99(FundSymbol char(5), FundName varchar(255))

That's EXACLY what I was a-lookin for! I appreciate you doing my homework for me *hanging head* I tend to forget the usefullness of UNION, and have yet to use "REPLICATE", so now I need to go look THAT one up in BOL so that I can once again expand my horizons just a little more.

Funny (to me, anyway) that because every other application in our world here that creates XML output uses the FOR XML directive to create the output, that I get tunnel vision and just can't seem to see the easy answer lies in "standard" SQL. I guess kinda like my kids, who can't seem to get their heads around the ideas that (a) you can make your own ice cream, (b)clothes can come from a sewing machine instead of a store, (c) there's a way to change your oil without going to Jiffy Lube, and myriad other such examples of "OMG, you mean you can do that the old-fashioned way?".

But I digress...Thanks once again, Brett, for taking the time and effort to plainly show how I can get around yet another stumbling block.

It's too bad though, that since it can't be done, I will have to disregard your fantasy code and open my C# book. ;)

Thanks again!|||A mere trifle...

I was interested, because of a discussion I had with a Java developer.

If I could deliver the content in a manner like you are looking for, then the development life cycle for java gets cut in half.

I'm just exploring this now, but I was leaning on having metadata stored in the database, where I could configure all of the results via table.

Each element would have it's own properties stored.

So if the don't like the text to be black, I can make it red, on the fly. No application release headaches.

I was going to extend that and see if I could also incorporate the style sheets in the database as well..

Creating VirtualDeviceSet for Remote SQL Server 2005 failed.

Hi, all!

I am writing the VDI application to allow backup/restore MS SQL Server 2005. I would want to backup/restore remote servers as well as local. I have local instance of MS SQL 2005 and remote. Local instance has MSSQL2005_ZORG instance name, remote uses default (so it supposed to be MSSQLSERVER).

While connection to those server via SQL Server Management studio i see local server as "ZORG\MSSQL2005_ZORG" and remote as "VM2000SRVZ2".

When i try to create VIrtualDeviceSet via CreateEx i pass "MSSQL2005_ZORG" as lpInstanceName parameter and all works fine. But I could't create same device set for remote 'MSSQLSERVER' instance. I passed any combination for that, such as "VM2000SRVZ2\MSSQLSERVER", "MSSQLSERVER", "VM2000SRVZ2", "\\VM2000SRVZ2\MSSQLSERVER" and so on. No luck always get VD_E_INSTANCE_NAME (0x80770007).

Any idea?

Creating temporary table using a template table dynamically

I'm having an application for users to extract data from sql 2K. Problem is that I need to split the huge amount of data into few pages on the application screen.

Since my order by clause could be dynamic, which is a big problem, the solution I can think of is to populate a temporary table ( within a stored proc ) and assign a column within the temporary table with a running number.

This stored proc would accept among them, an argument, which is the table name of a base table.

However, I would like to create this stored proc in such a way that I could create a temporary table based on given based table name, complete with the field sizes and types. On top of that, would like to add a new column to this temp table to store a running number key.

Opinions appreciated. :)Refer to this linkSQL Performance (http://www.sql-server-performance.com/rd_temp_tables.asp) for information.

Creating tables within my application.

I am having the following problem and any help would be GREATLY
appreciated:

In an application I am developing, at some points we create a new
table. When I create this table on another users box, I can not access
it from my box. In sql server I am dbo, but the table created by my
application when run on a different box has an owner of : "FC\xxxx". I
have sent permissions on this thing to public, but I am still getting
an error when I try to query this thing from my application. And I can
not get query analyzer to recognize this thing. I can see it in
Enterprise manager. I would think there is a way to handle this sort
of thing. If anyone out there has done anything like this I would be
much obliged for any ideas. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ed Hawkes

If you are logged into SQL Server as FC\ABC and this user is not dbo,
the the tables will be owned by FC\ABC. For other users to refer to
this table, they would have to say

SELECT * FROM [FC\ABC].tbl

That is they must specify the owner. If this is not desireable, you would
have to say:

CREATE TABLE dbo.tbl (...)

and the table will be owned by dbo. This may require more privledges
than you have granted today.

Generally, having users creating tables is nothing you would normally
do. Chances are, that there is some basic flaw in your design. But since
I don't know anything about your system, I may be completely wrong on
that point.

Chekku,

You really do need to install VS2005 or SS2005 on your Windows 2000 server to use SQL Mobile. It's part of the licensing.

|||Hopefully the problems will be sorted with SQL Everywhere. You CAN get around the problem and still stay within Microsoft licencing terms without having to have Visual Studio, etc:

1) Download SQL Express from Microsoft (free download)

2) Extract to a folder using the /x option

3) In the 'Setup' folder there is a file called 'SqlSupport.msi'. Install this on your target PC (only a 9MB file so no big deal).

4) Also on your target PC, deploy the following files along with your app:

sqlceca30.dll

The SQL Server Mobile Client Agent. Required for applications that connect to SQL Server by using replication or remote data access.

sqlcecompact30.dll

Provides the compact database functionality. Required if your application will use compaction.

sqlceer30[language].dll

Contains error strings for SQL Server Mobile-generated errors. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.

sqlceme30.dll

Contains code required by the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll file. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.

sqlceoledb30.dll

Provides OLE DB connectivity to SQL Server Mobile databases. Required only if your application uses OLE DB to connect to the SQL Server Mobile database.

sqlceqp30.dll

The SQL Server Mobile Query Processor. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.

sqlcese30.dll

The SQL Server Mobile Engine. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.

System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll

Seems bizarre how a free download keeps the licence happy !
