How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013 List.it needs to return all the columns
Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
I do have the list GUID ID. But not sure which SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
where tp_Title ='List Name'
how do I pull the columns of the list?
I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
those two links do not work for SQL server and SharePoint 2013

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

How to Get Default Value of a Data Type in SQL Query.

Hi all,
I am creating a procedure which will take input the table name and Column Name.
In the Output i would like to have the data type and default value of that data type which will be used by a another procedure to blank the selected column in the database.
I tried with SET NULL on the column but as the database is of navision the table have property set to NOT NULL.
Here is what i have done till now.
Create Procedure Get_Column_type
@parm_table_name nvarchar(200),
@parm_column_name nvarchar(20),
@parm_result nvarchar(20)OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
select @parm_result =
DATA_TYPE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS IC
where TABLE_NAME = '[' + @parm_table_name +']' and COLUMN_NAME = '[' + @parm_column_name + ']'
END
GO
Now instead on write a case statement for so many data types in SQL, i was thinking is it possible someway that above procedure also returns the default value which i can set in another procedure.
Let me know if its possible or not? Thanks in advance.

Do you looking for something like this?
create table t10 ( c int default 1)
SELECT so.name AS table_name,
sc.name AS column_name,
sm.text AS default_value
FROM sys.sysobjects so
JOIN sys.syscolumns sc ON sc.id = so.id
LEFT JOIN sys.syscomments SM ON sm.id = sc.cdefault
WHERE so.xtype = 'U'
AND SO.name = 't10'
ORDER BY so.[name], sc.colid

InfoPath 2013 Read SharePoint 2013 File data using Rest API Access Denied Exception

I am designing a set of Forms and they need to query Data from among themselves.
The whole set up described below works in the Form Filler/Preview
I'll call them Form A and Form B
Form A has a repeating table that needs to be displayed in Form B
The user selects from a DropDown in Form B an Instance of Form A, using the selected I REST connection is executed so the Form A xml is available inside Form B. The connection is set up as follows:
_api/web/lists/ListName/Items(SelectedId)/File/$value
I publish the form as site content type, add it to a library, after triggering the REST connection I get an error. ULS gives me a 401 Access denied for NT Authority\IUSR (as it should since I don't have anonymous access enabled [nor has that solved the issue])
That's my issue. All requests on the REST api are being executed as anonymous and not as a user that should have permission.
Things I've tried:
1. The connection uses a UDCX file, the conenction is set to use the form server proxy. The proxy has been enabled for the Form Services, web application and user connection. I've tried it with a configured App ID or an Explicit account
2. I've tried enabling Anonymous access, but have had no success
3. I've gotten the Query to work on Post Backs by adding the following to the web.config:
<location path="_layouts/15/Postback.FormServer.aspx">
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="false" userName="bhs\sp_admin_dev" password="M1crosoft" />
</system.web>
</location>
And while it solves the issue for Postback requests and I could add FormServer.aspx to the list I can't use this solution for a production environment, nor can I predict other issues that could be caused by the change.
I haven't been able to find any references to this error so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if there's another way to do this.
If I've been unclear on anything, let me know and I'll try to clear it up.

Hi Choggo,
thank you for your information,
regarding this issue, it seems we may need to debug and trace your network, to check if should the parameter that is used for the REST connection is correct.
i checked with infopath team members regarding this issue, they suggest that you try with impersonation, so that the user that login is not anonymous, but the user that you already been assign with.
the last suggestions from our sharepoint team members that we are able to do, as we have limited tools on this forum support, that you need to check the file udcx itself, do the permission to access that file is correct, so for example, if the file is not
having the permission to be read/access then the system may result with anonymous account, so that we may have the result that the data that should be passed are able to accessed.
if should this suggestion not applicable to your environment, our sharepoint team members suggest that you to open an incident ticket, so that we can check and re-confirm more deep for you if should this is an undocumented feature or not. the action
plans is to have a remote session, then we can trace the data passing process, that is already correct, so that the IUSR is not appear when it authenticate.

I am using the database connectivity toolkit to retrieve data using a SQL query. The database has 1 million records, I am retrieving 4000 records from the database and the results are taking too long to get, is there any way of speeding it up?

I am using the "fetch all" vi to do this, but it is retrieving one record at a time, (if you examine the block diagram) How can i retrieve all records in a faster more efficient manner?

If this isn't faster than your previous method, then I think you found the wrong example. If you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit installed, then go to the LabVIEW Help menu and select "Find Examples". It defaults to searching for tasks, so open the "Communicating with External Applications" and "Databases" and open the Read All Data. The List Column names just gives the correct header to the resulting table and is a fast operation. That's not what you are supposed to be looking at ... it's the DBTools Select All Data subVI that is the important one. If you open it and look at its diagram, you'll see that it uses a completely different set of ADO methods and properties to retrieve all the data.

Power Pivot 2013 Using SharePoint 2013 List as Source Data

Background: On a SharePoint 2013 site, there are lists that have the exact same columns but due to their size I had to create a different list for each year.
These are essentially my data lists or tables that end users enter data into. These lists have look up columns in them, referencing columns from look up lists or tables located on the same site.
Goals:
1) Create a Power Pivot Gallery on SharePoint 2013 that is able to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature using the SharePoint 2013 List data that is on the same SharePoint 2013 site.
2) Combine all the data lists/tables into one table once in Power Pivot 2013. The Look Up lists/tables will remain separate.
Challenge: Being able to merge or do a union query to the "data lists" and still maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature.
This is a tactical, quick fix solution, and I
cannot use SQL Server and am operating under the assumption that I do not have Access Services 2013 as an option.
Failed Attempt #1: What I already tried was linking the lists to an Access 2013 database and did a Union query from Power Pivot which merged the data from the different data tables
as I wanted it to. Then I uploaded that Access Database to a document library on that same site, thinking that I could maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature but I was wrong.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers, Johnny
Johnny

You can connect to SharePoint Lists using Power Query (and of course Union multiple Lists and more using Pwer Query) - but Automatic refresh would not work with SharePoint. Power BI (Cloud service) allows auto refresh of Power Query, but not on SharePoint.
Hopefully some day soon.

SharePoint 2013 Media Player using UNC path directly without using a Website in IIS (either out of the box or custom player using javascript only)

Hi,
There isn't much info on this and I am hoping its possible.
I have come across the following article which explains how we can setup SharePoint 2013 Asset Library using video links using a website in IIS that is mapped to a UNC path.
http://stevemannspath.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-videos-in-sharepoint.html
This is great. However we have an issue where I work and I need somehow to get SharePoint mediaplayer to point to a video directly using the UNC path like :- \\WINSP13\TempVideos\NTV_Carr_Indig.wmv without the use of a website in IIS.
I understand that we won't be able to stream the video then thats ok.
when trying to add a video link to an asset library using the UNC path, we get the following error: We don't support
playing a video of that format from a file share.
Is there a way or a workaround to do this? we are using only javascript to do this (AngularJS or any custom Javascript player such as MediaElement)
Thanks
Kind Regards,
Will

From a SharePoint architecture perspective, this is a BAD design, since you are rerouting the communications (from the client to the UNC) away from and outside of SharePoint... as a result, SP cannot provide any level of guarantee about the ability for videos
to play on the client machine.
Secondarily, I'm not sure that the browser will let you pull resources from such different locations (doing so has been the root of several type of attacks, such as "Cross Site Scripting").
That said (and assuming the browser lets you), you can always use JS to handle creating the video player HTML and setting the UNC location... instead of using a site asset library to store the links, just create a list for the videos

SharePoint 2013 List - Multiple Data Types in the Same List

In the same SharePoint 2013 list in Data Sheet View, I want to have one column where my end users enter inputs for KPIs. There are 3 groups of KPIs (A, B and C) and they each have different data types (A-string, B-decimal, C-percentage) and I want to be
able to base their input options off of the KPI type
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can leverage my parent-child relationships so when an end user...
1. Picks KPI type A, they can select from a choice filed (Green, Yellow, Red)
2. Picks KPI Type B, they can enter a decimal (-1.000 to 2.000)
3. Picks KPI Type C, they can enter a percentage (-100.00% to 100.00%
I'm using if I want to keep this in one list, one column and in data sheet view that the out of the box solutions won't meet my requirements. I was looking at some solutions from Bamboo (Lookup Selector Column) but don't think that applies here.
Thanks!
Johnny

Hi Johnny, you can accomplish this using cascading lookups in InfoPath if that program is available to you. Otherwise, if you want a 3rd party product, we use the Kwiz cascading lookup and it's worked wonders for us:

Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

Scenario:
We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses. When I change this under
Advanced Settings under List Settings and
Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
the workflow doesn´t trigger.
How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
Thanks in advance!
// Browncreek

When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows. Good luck!

Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.
Thanks,

Open Edit form directly when list item is clicked in Sharepoint 2013 list

Hi,
I have a list web part, wherein the user clicks the item it should open in the Edit form directly. various forum i checked was for SharePoint 2010, as we do not have design mode in SharePoint designer 2013, I am unable to do.. I know
if I the change the form type from default page to edit page, it will work, but not sure about how to go ahead. Could anyone help me to achieve this please....

Sunitha,
You can do this with some jQuery and JavaScript. Look at this post:
http://brandonatkinson.blogspot.com/2013/11/open-sharepoint-2013-list-items.html
Basically, add a Script Editor Web Part to the page and include this snippet:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// Change all display form links to edit form links
$('.ms-vb a[href*="listform.aspx"]').each(function(){
var link = $(this).attr('href');
link = link.replace("PageType=4", "PageType=6");
$(this).attr('href', link);
</script>

Problem connecting PowerPivot's (Office 2013) Data Model deployed on SharePoint 2013 to data source.

Hello:
Our configurations is as follow : SharePoint 2013 is on Server A; SQL Server Analysis server (SQL 2014) is on DB Server B;
SharePoint databases (sp_ ...) and our Data Mart (SQL 2014) are on server B. All servers runs Windows 2012 OS.
On my desktop I built a simple Excel 2013 workbook with PowerPivot Data Model that imported several tables from our Data Mart (server B above). Then created a Power View report. Locally everything works fine.
But when I uploaded this workbook to our SharePoint PowerPivot gallery and was trying to refresh data, I got the connection error: It’s very long but the ErrorCode is “rsCannotRetriveModel”. The end of the error message is:
'TemporaryDataSource'.</Message><MoreInformation><Source>Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient</Source>
<Message>Call to Excel Services returned an error.</Message>

Our Excel Services on the SharePoint work fine and refresh data on different excel workbooks (with no Data Model) just fine. We are using an unattended account for Excel Services to connect from SharePoint server to our databases. Found a few references
on the topic, tried them but with no luck.
Please advise!

Jeff Gorvits

Hi Jeff,
Firstly, I need to confirm whether you are refreshing Data connection in browser, since Data Refresh is not supported in Office Web Apps. Please refer more information in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/01/31/powerpivot-for-sharepoint-browser-refresh-fails-data-refresh-not-supported-in-office-web-apps.aspx
From the error "Call to Excel Services returned an error", please verify the location of the
data source, for example an Excel workbook, is registered as a trusted location with Excel Services:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219699(v=office.15).aspx
Since you are using unattended account for Excel Services to connect from SP to databases, I wonder if the issue occurs to unattended referesh, if so, please refer to:
