Data source - SQL server in company LAN

Hi,
I am using the trial version of PowerBI. I need to use SQL server as source which is available in my company LAN. If I create datasource providing the server name, will that provide access to PowerBI ? Is that related to IP (no direct IP, thru company
virtual LAN) ?
Thanks,
Paddy

Scheduled Refresh FAQs
Hi Paddy,
You author the reports locally the same way you did before, i.e., connect through the PowerPivot tools to the local database or use Power Query to do that.
When you upload the workbook to Power BI, you can configure schedule refresh on it, HOWEVER, for the schedule refresh to work properly, a Gateway and a Datasource need to be configured in the Power BI Admin Center. This step also includes downloading an
agent that is installed on-premises and allows the data to be transferred upon refresh.
Here are some useful links:

Performance Point Services Data Source Sql Server Table.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to create a matrix report which shows resource capacity and deomand fromProject Server 2010 databases which involves joining of multiple tables and views from the database.
But in Performance Point Service 2010 I am not able to write query to join multiple tables it'sjust showing one option in Data Connection to create connection to a database and specific one table not like SSRS where we can connect to database and can query
multiple tables and views to render the report as required.
So can any body suggest in case I am missing something in PPS 2010 or we cant joing or write sql query in PPS 2010
Thanks

I would join the tables in a view as Regis suggested or simply pull the information into a PowerPivot model and use that in SharePoint to connect to in PPS. If you go that route then you will be able to use a multidimensional source and can create
Analytical Reports.

Import into SQL Server db from Sybase 7 data source - SQL Server 2008 R2/2012

Hi,
I need to import Sybase 7 data into a SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 database.
Has anyone any experiences about this import?
Thanks

The nuance is in basically setting your connection manager right.
If I remember correctly, I did that using the ODBC/ADO, but I do not remember the Sybase version.
I suggest you visit a post dedicated to this operation (the author chose to use the ADO.NET type of a provider):

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

HI All,
In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
Thanks,
Lony

You can do that via Variable.
In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
and put the condition like this
Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
Hope this helps.

Is sql server using trigger to capture change data in SQL server CDC?

hi all,
what is the Architecture of SQL server change data capture(CDC)? is sql server using trigger to capture change data in SQL server CDC? for example Change Data Capture (CDC) in SQL Server 2008 using we can capture change Data records INSERTs, UPDATEs, and
DELETEs applied to SQL Server tables.so my question is SQL server using triggers to capture change data like INSERT TRIGGER, UPDATE TRIGGER and DELETED TRIGGER using each tables after enabled CDC...?
Thanks
Tharindu Dhaneenja
Tharindu Dhaneenja http://dhaneenja.blogspot.com

It is not using triggers. The source is the transaction log.
Related link:
Basics of Change Data Capture
...The source of change data for change data capture is the SQL Server transaction log. As inserts, updates, and deletes are applied to tracked source tables, entries that describe those
changes are added to the log. The log serves as input to the change data capture capture process. This reads the log and adds information about changes to the tracked table’s associated change table. Functions are provided to enumerate
the changes that appear in the change tables over a specified range, returning the information in the form of a filtered result set. The filtered result set is typically used by an application process to update a representation of the source in some external
environment. ...

Show data from sql server to oracle db

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g R1 on windows 2003 platform. On one machine database 10gR1 is running and on other machine sql server is running. I want to retrieve some data from sql server to oracle database. Please tell me how I can show data from sql server to oracle db.
Thanks

To make heterogeneous connection with oracle:
1.First make an ODBC connection, make entry in System DSN(to create a data source)
2.Make an entry in tnsnames.ora
3.Make an entry in listener.ora under SID_LIST_LISTENER
4.Make an entry in file named init<HS>.ora file located "oracle_base\oracle_home\db\hs\admin"
5.Restart the listener
e.g:
1. create a odbc system dsn named like 'sqlserver'
2. sqlserver= (DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME=sqlserver))
(HS = OK)
3. (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = sqlserver) (ORACLE_HOME = oracle_base\oracle_home\db) (PROGRAM = hsodbc) )
4.Create a file named initsqlserver.ora and make the following entry:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqlserver
Alternatively, you can copy the file named inithsodbc.ora and rename it to initsqlserver.ora
and edit as HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqlserver
5. lsnrctl reload listener_name

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

Error while reversing data from SQL Server to ODI

hi,
I was reversing data from SQL Server Java 1.6_022 in ODI Java 1.5, I was getting error Version Mismatch and I updated ODI Java version to 1.6_022.
And now, I am getting the below error while reversing the data from SQL Server database.
0 : 08001 : java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Looking for the assistance on the same.
Thanks,
Abhay

If everything is fine the reversing should be fine. I would say check again if the Technology of the Model and the also the dataserver is created under the right Technology in topology too.
also if this doesn't help , Please tell us the steps you have carried so far . Also can you try selective reverse is it showing the tables.

How to retrieve Min(startDate) and Max(endDate) for different groups of data? (sql server 2000)

My sample dataset (below) contains 3 groups -- 'a', 'b', 'c'. I need to retrieve the Min(startDate) and Max(EndDate) for each group so that the output looks something like this (date format not an issue):
fk   minStart      maxEnd
a    1/13/1985    12/31/2003
b    2/14/1986    12/31/2003
c    4/26/1987    12/31/2002
What is the Tsql to perform this type of operation? Note: the actual data resides in a sql server 2000 DB. If the Tsql is different between version 2000 and the later versions -- I would be grateful for both versions of the Tsql
--I noticed that multiple lines of Insert values doesn't work in Sql Server 2000 -- this sample is in Sql Server 2008
create table #tmp2(rowID int Identity(1,1), fk varchar(1), startDate datetime, endDate datetime)
insert into #tmp2
values
('a', '1/13/1985', '12/31/1999'),
('a', '3/17/1992', '12/31/1997'),
('a', '4/21/1987', '12/31/2003'),
('b', '2/14/1986', '12/31/2003'),
('b', '5/30/1993', '12/31/2001'),
('b', '6/15/1994', '12/31/2003'),
('b', '7/7/2001', '12/31/2003'),
('c', '4/26/1987', '12/31/1991'),
('c', '8/14/1992', '12/31/1998'),
('c', '9/10/1995', '12/31/2002'),
('c', '10/9/1996', '12/31/2000')

It is unclear what you are trying to achieve, you said that it is SQL Server 2000 but provide a sample data with SQL Server 2008 syntax
Is it possible to use UNION ALL for your queries to make its one
select * from
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.startdate) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
UNION ALL
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.Enddate desc) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
as der order by fk

How to compare 2 dates in SQL Server 2000 DB using Java?

How do you compare 2 dates in SQL Server 2000 DB using Java?
Let's say we have two fields: Date Reported and Target Finish Date.
Date Reported is 09-10-2004 09:55:55: PM
Target Finish Date is 09-12-2004 11:59:59: PM
What i want to happen is i want to convert both dates to days and get the difference of the two.
can SQL Server 2000 DB do this?

it doesnt wrk.
ok here's what i did:
iv tested a simple code for this case.
I created a table name tblDate which has 3 columns namely date_ID, date_From (datatype datetime), date_To (datatype datetime).
I inserted 1 row: date_ID has the value 1, date_From has the value 10/22/2004, and date_To has the value 10/24/2004.
i run the java code below:
int days = 0;
          String query = "SELECT date_From, date_To cast(date_From-date_To AS int) AS Diff FROM tblZoo WHERE date_ID = '1'";
          try
               DBConnect db = new DBConnect();
               db.openCon();
               ResultSet rs = db.execute(query);
               while(rs.next())
                    days = rs.getInt("Diff");
               db.closeCon();
          catch (Exception ex)
               System.out.println("Error on Execution: " + ex);
          return days;___________
an error occurred: Error on Execution: java.lang.nullpointerexception
