Database query tool

Does there exist some kind of common teststand database query tool/gui/form or do all testengineers have to develop their own application for retrieving data ?
I'm using standard TS schema, and Access DB.
I'm sure there are 100's of homemade tools out there, but are any of them free to use, or can i purchase something from NI ?
Bigger companies make their own systems i guess, but this should be a common requirement for everybody using TS

Try to use the database viewer included with TestStand. You can include it to your deployments as well. So all operaters can go in and view the database.
From within TestStand you find it in the menu>>Tools>>Database Viewer...This tool is fairly simple and allows you to search on data and filter data in the database.

Is it too much to ask MS for a simple ad-hoc query tool for end users?

Hello
This is a general MS BI topic and not specific to Power Query, but I couldn't find a more suitable general forum for it.
This posting is the result of the frustration I have with MS BI stack, whereby a simple ad-hoc drag and drop query tool to get the data in a table format (preferably from a relational
data source) is missing, something that other big vendors have, such as SAP Business Objects Universe and the associated tools. The deprecated SSRS Report model and SMDL was the closest MS ever got to this functionality (although that had some limitations
too), which unfortunately is dead now in favour of all sort of "Power" tools that basically can’t deliver the same functionality.
The requirement is pretty simple: provide users with a tool that they can drag and drop fields from different entities in a data model without having to worry about entity relationships and
apply necessary filters and get the data out in Excel or CSV, no fancy (or even simple) aggregation or formatting is required, and users should only see the rows they are authorized to see, i.e. row level security (RLS) of data.
Let’s see what we have at our disposal from MS BI:
From the modeling perspective, we have relational models in the database that support RLS with views, but obviously cannot maintain PK-FK relationships in the database model between views. Other
models are .Net Entity Data model Framework model exposed as OData, and SSAS tabular, SSAS PowerPivot, SSAS multidimensional, which you can find a good comparison of their features here:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2012/3/4/decisions-powerpivot-ssas-tabular -or-ssas-multidimensional-m.html
From the tools perspective we have:
Power Query on top of a relational database (SQL Server): Can connect to relational databases easily, generated queries are optimal, detects relationships with entities, but only when entities
are tables and have PK-FK relationships enforced in the database. So can’t detect relationships with views and hence can’t enforce RLS, so this is not an option unless users keep joining entities, which is not a desirable option either.
Power Query on top of an OData: Works well except that queries generated for multiple entity expansion are terrible (look here for more details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7a8b8e52-d3a9-42af-bc52-9d5459c00529/odata-multilevel-expand-query-issue?forum=powerquery). In addition all filtering and projections are done at client side, so even if you want 1 row out of 1 million, all
rows are brought over to Excel before filtered. Overall this results in unacceptable performance even for small sized data.
Power Query on top of a tabular model: Doesn’t support that type of data source yet (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ebcccb5e-7058-4046-917d-3d7fcf60cbdc/tabular-model-as-data-source-for-power-query?forum=powerquery).
Even if it did, tabular models don’t support Many-to-Many relationships out of the box and not sure if there are plans to support tabular models in Direct Query mode in Power Query to take care of RLS.
Excel on top of tabular models or multidimensional models: The tabular model should not be in Direct Query mode and you only get to use PivotTable to query the model. PivotTables are not famous
for generating optimal MDX queries, so performance is not going to be acceptable if you are dealing with large dimensions, especially large junk and degenerate dimensions. You can use drilltrough to get details of a measure, but you have to specify the columns
for a drilltrough action upfront, no flexibility for users to select what they want to see.
PowerPivot on top of relational databases: The query designer cannot detect relationships between views, so users have to perform manual joins, not an option.
PowerPivot on top of a multidimensional or tabular model: The query designer doesn’t generate optimal MDX queries by drag and drop. Especially there doesn’t seem to be a way to add related
attributes of a dimension attribute to the query without cross joins which results in poor performance on large dimensions. Other issues found here
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/marco_russo/archive/2010/08/24/using-ssas-2005-2008-as-powerpivot-data-source-query-designer.aspx. In addition the result set has ugly column names and issues with data types, such as interpreting numeric data types as Text, and
there’s no straight forward way of getting the data from PowerPivot directly to Excel. The user either has to do a copy/paste (which doesn’t work on large datasets) or create a pivot table, bring the measure, and drillthrough the measure to get the details
in table format.
PowerPivot with OData: Treats every entity as a separate table to import, not suitable for our use case.
Report Builder and SSRS on top of relational, multidimensional or tabular model: Given the query designer is the same as PowerPivot, it has similar issues. In addition, there are 4 more steps
from designing a query to generating an Excel or CSV output, not an option.
PowerView: Works against tabular and multidimensional models, but there’s no way of exporting data to Excel sheet. Besides the add-in is not available for Excel 2010.
Good old MS-Access: Link to tables and views through ODBC, create relationships between entities and give each user a copy of that Access database to create their queries, and deal with the
nightmares of updates to the model and distribution of new models to the users! Did I mention Access as an option?
So there you go, 10 options, none of which can deal with a seemingly simple use case sufficiently. At the moment, the best among them appears to be option 6 against a heavily optimized OLAP
cube, and perhaps #3 when/if Power Query support for tabular models in direct query mode arrives. Perhaps I am missing something very obvious, and would like someone to enlighten me here.
Thanks

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneos programmingguide/PerformanceTuning/PerformanceTuning.html
And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

Database query from Java

I'm writing a Java program that needs to query a Microsoft Access database. I'm not sure how to do this. Someone said to use ODBC drivers but I don't know what these are. Any clarification/ideas would be appreciated.

There are a few easy step to set up a connection to your database in your java program.
1. establish an odbc data source in windows control panel (may be under Administrative tools).
2. you need to import the java.sql package.
3. you need a connection, so type the following into your database class:
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:/*your data source name goes here*/");
catch (ClassNotFoundException exception)
System.err.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver");
exception.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
catch (SQLException exception)
System.err.println("Unable to connect");
exception.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}4. Find an SQL tutorial on the web.
5. For each query/update etc create a Statement object using the following code:
try
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
/* now use the remainder of this try block to execute your query. Each database query returns a ResultSet object */
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("/*your query string goes here*/");
/* the next() method in ResultSet returns true if there are any more records, like an iterator. Therefore, you know if there are any results or not*/
if (resultSet.next())
/* If your query was a 'SELECT * FROM ...etc' then you will get a whole row from the table(s) within the database. if you need to extract a number from that record and you know the column number, then use the following */
int id = resultSet.getInt(1);
/* where 1 corresponds to the first column in the table, and so on. Ifyou want to extract a String, the use the getString() method*/
catch (SQLException exception)
}That's basically the easiest way to go about it (I think). Best to consult a book for a more in-depth look. Try Java - How to Program, by Deitel and Deitel (available at www.deitel.com). I found this very useful.

VIEWING CONSTRAINT NAME IN QUERY TOOL

hi ,
i am using oracle lite 10g database lite R3 in windows platform . Now i have done a fresh client setup and datadownload in my machine. i am using query tool to view the datas . how to get
the constraint names in the query tool of a particular table.

Which tool are you using?
SELECT * FROM ALL_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = :TABLE_NAME

Benefits of SAP Business Warehouse Reporting compared with the Query-tools?

Hello experts,
I've been creating reports with SAP Query tools, but been faced with few problems. First of all, there are restricted possibilities in terms of joining tables, and thus I cannot include all the data required for the report.
One solution for this would have been to create separate queries and join the data together in Excel. The problem with this is that there exists no common field that would make sense as for a selection criterion. If the selection criterion is different in different queries, there is the danger of combining false data together, which would eventually result with distorted data.
So I was wondering, could anyone briefly tell me if SAP Business Warehouse reporting would solve these problems? And what other benefits would it provide compared with the SAP Query? I'd urgently need to know if it would be a beneficial investment for the company, since I haven't found solutions for the problems occurred in the creation of reports.
Thank you in advance for you help!
Maria

The answers are yes - and thousands of companies have gone down this route
Puttingin BW is a strategic aim of the comapny and not to be thought about and discussed in a BI forum such as this
The costs of implementation and hardware will no doubt make your eyes water.
To be quite honest SAP BI is a "no brainer" as most of the new e-SOA and new R3 modules reply on BW for their reporting needs

Hi,
as Daan said, set the variable in Advanced tab but not on loglevel..
because, our problem is to bypass the bi-server cache.
Do this:
1. Go to Advanced tab.
2. In Prefix field(scroll down to see this field) , enter this:
SET DISABLE_CACHE_HIT = 1;
Note: Make sure that you're ended up above statement with semicolon and do not click on Set SQL option...
3. Save report, then run it..
4. After you see the query, i recommend you to take take out that prefix tag then save it again..

Try using '###CreateODBCDate(Form.DateOfBirth)###'. Access is
strange on
handling dates. It has a been a while since I have used
Access so it could
be as simple as wrapping it single quotes as well. I am

Generate an xml file from Database query results

Hi, can anyone help me out with this problem I'm having. What are the steps in creating an xml file directly from the results of a database query. I currently have a very simply process that queries a database via a partner link. The query returns the data but it's from this point that I am stuck. I need to create an xml file with the data along with the xml tags. I've looked at dozens of tutorials with no luck.
I would greatly appreciate help with this.
bpel rookie

Should be quite simple.
Create another partnerlink, configure it to use the file adapter, and write to an XML file. In this case you need to create an XML Schema (.xsd) of the file you want to create.
Before you write to the file, either add assign steps to copy individual attributes or use a transform activity to convert from the database format to the file (xml) format.

Access database query resultset in java scriptlet

Question:
1) I am Creating a web page and plotting points on the page:
2) Database query results in decimal values dec_latitude and dec_longiitude.
3) Perform calculations on lati. & long. in a java scriptlet to create a plot position (xpos, ypos).
4) Send the xpos and ypos back to the java server page
5) Use <IMG and absolute positioning to plot the point at position xpos, and ypos.
6) Repeat until all rows in the query result set have been plotted.
I don't know how to pass the dec_latitude and dec_longitude to the java scriptlet.
After the java scriptlet calculation translates the latitude and longitude
into xpos and ypos, I need to pass the xpos and ypos back to the java server page so that a data point is plotted on a map at position xpos, ypos.
I tried many ways of doing it but am just guessing as
to how to pass the data.
Thanks in Advance. - John
Here is what I am trying so far .... see snippet below:
The code below results in a runtime error.
Am I supposed to create a java object and access that in the java scriptlet? Can the java scriptlet access the latvar and longvar created during the "<c:set var="latvar"... ?
If not, what mechanisum do I use to access the resulting colums: dec_latitude and dec_longitude? I need the java scriptlet to convert the
dec_latitude and dec_longitude into a display position based on the number of pixels from the TOP and LEFT (xpos, ypos). Then plot of the data point using the IMG and (xpos, ypos). This will overlay a map whose z-index is lower than the plotted data point.
*** Query the database ***

longitude = (Float)pageContext.getAttribute("longvar");
xpos = (int)Math.round(latitude);
ypos = (int)Math.round(longitude);
xpos = 1082 - xpos;
ypos = 700 + ypos;
pageContext.setAttribute("xpos", xpos);
pageContext.setAttribute("ypos", ypos);
%>
*** plot a point on the display html page overlaying the map ***
<IMG ID="Row" SRC="smallredbox.jpg" ALT="red box"

Thanks
I still get a runtime error: I translated the code you gave to code below .... which I think is equivalent. See Below: I'm still learning about this stuff so I may not have not translated this properly. Do
you see what I am doing wrong?

Word Wrap database query results

In Visual Studio 2005, when you are looking at the results of a database query, or table (show table data) etc., how can you make the results field values wrap like we use to be able to do in VS 2003 and in Visual Interdev.
If the field values were longer then what was display in the grid output results, you could expand the column width and row height and the field values would wrap to fit. If I try to do the same thing in VS 2005 or in sql enterprise manager 2005 the field values don't wrap, they remain displayed in one long line and they just get cut off after a specific number of characters.

I'm a Program Manager on the SQL Server Manageability team. We own SQL Server Management Studio. Sorry to hear about your frustration with our product. The team had many tasks to complete in the SQL Server 2005 timeframe and there are some usability improvements that seem simple and were overlooked. We are committed to improving our customers' experience with our products.
I would recommend that you go to http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ and file this issue. You'll be able to track it throughout its lifecycle. Once we have a solution for the scenario, we will let you know which release of SQL Server in which you will be able to see your suggestion.
So, yes, we are listening :)
