Hi Gowri,
From your description, you can create create ad-hoc reports using Report Builder 3.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2, and now you want to know how to how to do ad-hoc reports by using SSRS 2012, right? In SQL Server 2012, the default version of Report Builder is
3.0, so you can create create ad-hoc reports using Report Builder 3.0 as before.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • How to study for the MCSA: SQL Server Exams?

    Hi guys, 
    Forgive me if this question has already been answered but I'm simply trying to find out the best way to tackle the three exams required for the MCSA in SQL Server. I read a blog post on the Pluralsight website which, in discussing the MCSA in Windows
    Server, it was advised that the best approach is to study for all three exams rather than one at a time as there's a certain amount of overlap.
    My question is does this apply to SQL Server 2012 too? Or would it be bets to study for, and take, the three exams separately and one at a time? I'm just completing the Trainsignal (now Pluralsight) SQL Server 2012 Administration Essentials 28-video course
    and was just about to begin going through the equivalent book when I read the blog post.
    My background is mainly in desktop/server support (10years following an IT degree) and before now, have had no real exposure to SQL Server. I was asked about a year ago by my current manager to "keep an eye" on the SQL instances we have and began
    by replicating the our fail-over cluster in a virtual environment for testing purposes and to gain an understanding of the set-up. I've since developed a keen interest in SQL Server and plan to get certified...  
    Many thanks in advance.
    Marcus.
    Exams are:
    1
    Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012
    2
    Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
    3
    Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
     

    Hello,
    My humble recommendation is to study for each exam one at a time. I found 70-461 most difficult exam of SQL Server I have
    taken to this date for its XML content and the extent of the exam. Go for 70-461 first.
    You will find tips and recommendations on the following Channel 9 resources:
    http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Europe/2013/EXM15
     (70-461)

  • How ignore Change_tracking in build script deployment in Project Database SQL Server VS2013

    Hello,
    I have a "Project Database SQL Server" in SSDT VS2013 and my scenario is as follows:
    My project database has not enabled the feature of [CHANGE_TRACKING].
    I have N production databases, and there are a few in particular that are characteristic of [CHANGE_TRACKING]
    enabled.
    When I publish the project database against a target
    base has not enabled the feature of [CHANGE_TRACKING] no problem, everything works as expected.
    The problem is when I publish
    the project database against a database that has ENABLED feature tracking changes.
    I want the VS to make the comparison
    of schemes in the publication, ignore this feature, and NOT generate deployment scripts with instructions like:
    'Alter table dbo.table DISABLE CHANGE_TRACKING'
    'Alter database name SET CHANGE_TRACKING = OFF'
    It is possible to somehow customize the build-deployment to avoid this outcome?
    I hope the collaboration of you lot.
    Thank you very much.
    Estyfen

    Hi, thanks by response.
    The configuration "Do not
    alter Change Data Capture objects"
    is on, but even so, I do not get
    the expected results. When I run the generated
    script publication makes me a "Disable
    CHANGE_TRACKING" tables that have
    activated the "track changes"
    in the destination database.
    Stay tuned for
    your help ..
    thank you very much

  • How can I make one computer server at Home for access of SQL Server 2012/2008

    Hi All,
    Sorry for this basic question but I am zero in networking. I will be very grateful if someone guides what should I do to make one of my home PC as server. Scenario is as follows:
    I want to give training to few students about SQL SERVER T-SQL.
    I have one Laptop using SQL Server 2012 having Windows 7 Pro(Laptop Master-want to make this server). I have other laptop running Windows 7 pro and got SQL SERVER 2008. My students have mix of laptops including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows
    8. All students have SQL SERVER 2008 installed and working.
    Q1: I actually want to make Laptop Master(explained in above paragraph) as server and want other laptops to access that master server in home network. I will install sample exercise database on server and students will be writing queries to access
    data.
    Q2: can I secure sample database from students who can copy sample database from server?
    Q3: can students run queries remotely sitting their home?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards
    A K
    Adnan

    Hi itsadnan,
    According to your description, if you want to make your Laptop as Server, and your student can log in your SQL Server 2012 instance, you need to ensure that your computer and student’s computers are the same domain, and you enable TCP/IP, name pipes protocol
    in SQL Server Configuration Manager, your SQL Server 2012 instance is allowed to connect remotely and your student install SQL Server Manager Studio 2012 as client tool in their computer, and you create the related login name for your students. For more information,
    see:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
    According to your requirement, in actual, since your students install SQL Server 2008 on their computer, you totally can ask your student to install the sample exercise database in their SQL Server. For example, there are many resource about sample database
    in Website, which is helpful for student to learn database technology, such as
    AdventureWorks databases for SQL Server 2008. From SQL Server Management Studio, they can attach an AdventureWorks database, then write queries to access data.
    Since you have SQL Server 2008 in your other laptop, you can create the sample exercise database, and student can install this database via backup and restore, then write queries to access data and send to you for checking if it is right.
    Note:  Due to backwards compatibility, The students could not restore SQL Server 2012 database in their SQL Server 2008 instance.

  • How to save 150MB BLOB file in the database(SQL server)?

    Dear experts,
    I have written some code to save BLOB into a MS SQLserver7.0 database as follows:
    PreparedStatement ps=connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO jdbctest" + "(id, content, image) VALUES (?,?,?)");
    ps.setString(1,"2");
    ps.setString(2,"L11.avi");
    ps.setObject(3,data);
    It works for upto 12MB but for files that are as big as 150MB I always get an SQLException as follows,
    "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
    <<no stack trace available>>" .
    The SQLserver7.0 database is running on NT server 4. The client machine is SGI UNIX. I'm using i-net JDBC driver.
    It seems I should break the BLOB into chunks before saving into SQLserver but I don't know how to do it.
    Can someone please advise?
    THANKS!
    Yu

    Could you tell me more about it? Thanks.Depends on the application.
    For example for internal use you can set up a shared drive and then everyone gets a mapped read only access to it. Then you use a direct drive reference.
    For external, or just wider internal distribution, you could set up a ftp server. Then the address is just an ftp address.
    I believe there are other variations which can be implemented via browsers and support by the websever. For example loading a word doc via the browser.
    The advantage to the above is that you don't have to push it into the database and it allows for some more flexible storage alternatives. The disadvantages are all the things you might want a database for - like concurrency checking and a single source.

  • SQL Server 2012 with Visual Studio 2013 with SSIS/Integration services project?

    I wanted to build an integration services project to import data from multiple sources using a vendor's API.
    I wish I could recall how I got to the point where I was able to build one and have it run successfully, but I had to install so many things that I honestly don't remember.
    However, I noticed my PC booting really slowly after that, and I saw that I had components of VS 2010, VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed, along with SQL Server 2008 and 2012.  So I uninstalled a bunch of stuff, hoping to get to where I had only the most
    current versions of all, that were compatible with my corporate environment.  So I was aiming for Visual Studio 2013 (Premium, I think) and SQL Server 2012.
    Took me 2 days.  Now I'm at the point where I think - and I'm here to learn if I'm correct - that I cannot get an oData Source component into my project and use VS 2013 IF I want to stick with Sql Server 2012.  Is that correct?  
    I get very confused when trying to determine how the acronyms relate:  SSIS, SSDT, SSDT-BI, etc.

    Hi Anonymous11847,
    SSDT: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2010, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2010. This can be installed when SQL Server is
    installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
    SSDT-BI for VS 2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2012.
    This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
    SSDT-BI for VS 2013: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2013.
    This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2014
    So if the SQL Server version is SQL Server 2012, we should install SSDT or SSDT-BI for VS2012 to create SSIS project.

  • SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 8.1 Pro

    Can I install "out-of-the-box" SQL Server 2012 with Service Pack 1 Enterprise Edition or SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my Windows 8.1 VM?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    SQL Server 2012 SP1 is fully supported by Windows 8.1, and there is no need to install any SQL update for the installation.
    Enterprise Edition is not supported on client operating systems like Windows 8.1 but setup won’t prevent you from installing.
    Developer Edition is fully supported on client operating systems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

    Hi
    I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
    to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
    machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

    Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

  • Run report with SSO/OAM by URL without prompt for uid/pwd?

    Can I run a report by URL to a report engine protected by SSO/OAM without being prompted for credentials?  Asking the same in another way, is there a way to pass the SSO/OAM credentials in the URL (or otherwise) to avoid being prompted for them?  I find many references to how to do this for the database connection credentials, but I'm trying to pass the SSO/OAM credentials on the URL.  My end game is to be able to run a report from VB.NET from a kiosk application in VB.NET where there is no attendant and client does not want to have to log into SSO/OAM at any time.  My VB.NET code will submit the URL, grab the output and manage the work stream (print, save, store to doc repos, etc.) in the kiosk code.
    Thanks in advance

    For the sake of those that come later with this same question:
    It turns out there is a way to do this after all.  I opened an SR with MOS and with a little trial and error we worked out that the following does work:
    http://<theFormsReportsServer>:9002/reports/rwservlet?report=myTestReport.rdf&authid=myOAMUserId/mySSOPasswd&userid=dbUid/dbPwdK@DbTnsEntryName&destype=cache&desformat=html
    Note that there are two necessary bits to this in addition to specifying the authid=SSO Credentials part.  The first is that you must use the WLS_REPORTS port (9002 in our case), not the OHS port (8888 in our case).  The other is that you must provide the database connection.  I have done it overtly in this syntax by specifying userid=DbCredentials@Db, but it should also work to substitute the ssoconn functionality in order to hide the Db credentials.  That is not an issue in our environment so i have not actually tested it.

  • Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

    Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
    to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
    Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
    Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
    Is this configuration supported? 

    Hello,
    According to the
    BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
    cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
    In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
    SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
    Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
    In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql  under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
    However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
    The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
    In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
    database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

  • Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

    Hi,
    I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
    However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
    with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
    Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get 
    Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
    I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
    If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
    I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
    Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

  • SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database

    Hi all!
    I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
    I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
    I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
    connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
    Error
    The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
    OK   
    I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Kirill,
    From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
    When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
    Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:

  • Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

    I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
    subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
    has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
    anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
    Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
    subreports?

    Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
    (with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
    say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
    should ask is, "
    Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
    ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
    CRAZY!
    If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
    suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
    for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
    the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
    quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
    computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
    route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
    for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
    ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
    finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
    this product.
    CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
    get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
    end.

  • CR Server - Report with multiple sub reports prompts for SQL connection for

When the report is run from CR Server, the initial SQL Server connection log in is automatically handled by the log in details in CR Server, but the report then prompts for SQL Server log in four times, presumably for each sub report.

    Yes - it looks like it might have been to do with the contents of the ".sqldeveloper" directory. Probably SQL Developer may have got confused with me running the same SQL on the same database under different users.
