SQL database and SharePoint integration

I am looking for material on how to work with sql databases and sharepoint.
Is it possible to use an SQL database, with foreign key relations, in a sharepoint list?
What I am looking to is as follows:
Have 2 tables in SQL Server, with a reference from one, to another.
Have the ability to input and edit both tables from a sharepoint online external list.
SQL Table 1:
Id code
name
SQL Table 2:
Arrival Date
lot #
idCode
idCode references Table 1 id Code
Sharepoint List A
List of Table 1
Sharepoint List B
List of table 2, with the ability to add its to it, that will reference table 1.
I can not find any material or other ares focusing on this subject. You assistance would be appreciated.
Brandon

What you're after is an External List. There are some details (and much of the configuration is on links in this page) here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683119(v=office.15).aspx

Count number of rows from oracle and sql database and generate a report

Hi All,
Can someone help me in writing a java program for the following scenario?
1. Read the number of rows available from oracle table and print the total row count in a Report.txt text file.
2. Read the number of rows inserted in a sql database (after a specific process-just an information) and print the total row count in the same text file Report.txt .
3. Read the Error Log file (which is generated after a specific process say it has success and failed report for each iterations) and print the number of success and number of failure in the same text file Report.txt .
I need the final Report.txt file in the following format:
1. Oracle table <table name> has 500000 rows.
2. After completion of the specific process 300000 rows were added to SQL table <table name>
Error Log Report:
300000 successfull entries and 200000 failed entries were found from the Error Log file.

Thanks for your immediate reply.
I'm just a beginner in java so if i make any mistake please correct and excuse me. :)
This is the code i have for connecting to two different database.
package connectDatabase;
* @author
import java.sql.*;
public class ConnectTo
     public void OracleDB()
          Connection dbconn;
          try {
            DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
            String connString="jdbc:oracle:thin:@SYS_IP:1521:oracl";
            dbconn = DriverManager.getConnection(connString, "uname","pwd" );
        catch(SQLException sqlex)
             sqlex.printStackTrace();
        catch(Exception excp)
            excp.printStackTrace();
     public void SqlDB()
          Connection conn;
          try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:connectDB";
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"uname","pwd");
          catch (Exception e)
            System.err.println("An Exception occured! " +e.getMessage());
}I'm just codding the second half which is for connecting to oracle databse and calculates the row count and displayes in the command prompt.
then connects to SQL database and counts successfull insert in the table.(row count) and displayes on the command prompt.
can you simplify the above code so that i can call the oracleDB() method and SqlDB() method seperately from another calss file using the object of this class?
I'm ok if the report can be seen in a command prompt. FInally i need to calculate the success and failure count from the log file. will let you know once i'm done with codding.

How to select from drop-down menu connected to SQL database and then autofill?

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a series of forms and I need some help if working out how to do the following.
I have already set up a data connection to an SQL database, and I have three fields connected: Job Number, Job Name and Customer Name.

Is anyone able to help me do this please??
Thank you!!

Save files from SQL DB and Sharepoint 2003

I am needing to save a bunch of files from our Sharepoint 2003 site. I have figured out that they are stored in an SQL database on the server. The only problem is, I honestly have no clue how to retrieve them. Help? Please?

Nope, you can patch in either order. Should not be any conflicts.

DITA and SharePoint Integration--FM11 (TCS4)

We're moving to DITA and exploring our options for tools. We're currently considering TCS4; we'd use FM for authoring and publishing and RH for additional publishing outputs. We're also interested in using a DITA CMS, but since we're already a SharePoint 2010 site, we're wondering if we can leverage the new SharePoint integration instead. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

We're trying to use FM10 and SharePoint with DITA. It looks like it can be done, but only with a lot of customization. And I mean a LOT.
The main sticking point (it seems to me after a few months of on-and-off work in the area) is that SharePoint lacks the concept of interdependent files. In the SP world, every file is assumed to be self-contained. When you work on a file, you're not concerned with how it relates to other files in the repository.
With DITA, on the other hand, relationship is everything. If you update a file or rename it or remove it, you care very much about the effect on other files that might be referencing it. So you need to add something that SharePoint does not have, namely, a file relationships database of some kind. And then you have to provide user controls for it.
FrameMaker has dependencies. For example, when you open a topic or an unstructured chapter, you need access to any referenced images. To reconcile this with SharePoint's lack of dependency awareness, Adobe's CMS Connector sets up a SharePoint field called "FMDependency" that lists all the files that are referenced by a file. This helps Frame keep track of dependencies, but compared to a database, it's a clumsy solution. In fairness, it's the best Adobe can do without seriously invading your SharePoint installation.
The trouble I'm facing now is that, if I do decide to make SharePoint relationship-aware for the sake of our DITA implementation, and I want to continue including FrameMaker in our selection of DITA editors, I have to work with or around Adobe's less than optimal solution.
Another issue concerns metadata. Say you want to be able to select topics by title or shortdesc. First you have to get the metadata into the SharePoint list. (We've set up some code that runs at checkin to do this.) But then you want to use it -- and there's no provision for that in the CMS Connector. So now you have to use a browser to find your files, and then open the Connector and hunt them down from the full list in order to check them out and work on them. The same goes for audience or product metadata.
We're pressing on because the company is just rolling out SharePoint, and is hell-bent on using it for everything. If it's an option for you, I recommend finding a real DITA CMS.

Questions on SAP BI and SharePoint integration

Hi all,
I was looking into how we can integrate SAP BI with our SharePoint server.
Does anyone has got exposure to this type of integration?Is there anyway that we can achieve this integration using SAP Business Objects or Performance Points?
Please advise.
Thanks
Kukku

Hi all,
We would like to get some thoughts on SharePoint integration with SAP BI.Could you please help us in solving the following questions:
1. Which one is better? SharePoint integration through PerformancePoint Server 2007 or SAP Business Objects(SAP BO XI integration kit)?
2. What are the starting point(system requirements) to develop a prototype on both the methods?
I was able to find some info on both PPS and SAP Business Objects from the above link and also from sdn documents(those were really helpful,thanks!) but none of them provide some detailed insight into which one to opt for or how you can goahead.If someone has got more info on this please let us know.
Thanks

Running Azure SQL database and reporting services native mode?

I would like to stand-up a remote Azure SQL Server to do Master Data Services (MDS) and SSRS in native mode. Can this be done from one Azure SQL Server instance?
William H. Neville Jr.

Hello，
Master Data Services (MDS)not supported by Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
In order to meet your requirement, you can try to create a SQL Server virtual machine in Azure, it similar to on-premises SQL Server installed on VM. It also install the SSRS and you can try to configure the SSRS in native mode.
To run Master Data Services in a virtual machine in Azure, you should also install the Web Server (Internet Information Services) and Silverlight, and also configure Master Data Services by using Master Data Services Configuration Tool (MDSConfigTool.exe).

Content of SAP SQL Database and backup

1. The SAP database / data files store in the folder <SID>DATA with extension mdf, what does it store? Does it content the structure of the database only or inclusive of the daily entry of the SAP data?
2. Will it be sufficient to backup the SAP SQL Database with the SQL database ONLINE for recovery purpose in case of server crash?

Alvin Teo wrote:
Markus,
Thank you for your response.
I would like to clarify further that other than the database is required to be backup, any other SAP related system file that require to be include in the backup file occasionally, like during daily or weekly backup?
Yes - the instance directory and the Windows OS including the registry
Apart from this, do you happen to know where can I obtain the documentation which can assist me to do hardware sizing for SAP systems?
Usually it´s done the following way:
- the customer creates a project under http://service.sap.com/quicksizer
- the hardware partner takes this project and offers a machine that fits

BO XI3.1 and Sharepoint Integration

Hello,
I am looking for some advice regarding sharepoint integration.
Scenario:
1. BO Server with XI3.1/SP2
2. Seperate Sharepoint Server 2007 - sharepoint site.
We want to access BO reports through the sharepoint site.
I have been reading the installation guides /pre-requisites and have got a general idea , however there are possible downloads both under BO Enterprise folder ( portal integration) as well as a seperate Integration kit.
Would appreciate any advice for integration for this particular scenario.
Regards

Hi,
Use IOMS or integration Option for Microsoft SharePoint software.
It supports on XI3.1 and Sharepoint 2007 32 bit.

SnS and Sharepoint integration

Hi All,
I would like to learn which features (such as Live Events Calendar, Social Video, Employee Generated Content etc.) we can support for SnS-Sharepoint integration. I know SnS can integrate to Share point through APIs. However I can not find any detailed integration document. We are competing with a different vendor. It is important to highlight the capabilities of SnS integration.
Best Regards,

Atrion Networking has a product that fully integrates SNS with SharePoint. I heard about them from Cisco and recently had a demo of it through Webex.

ADFS and SharePoint Integration: How to use ADFS Roles?

Hello,
I've successfully integrated SharePoint with ADFS2 and users can login by ADFS. One of the claims mapping in ADFS and SharePoint is SAM-Account-Name->Windows account name.
Is there any guideline how to grant a permission to an specific role? For example I want to grand read access to an specific list to a specific AD group called "ListReaders"
A link to an online article explains how to use ADFS Roles in SharePoint would be a great help.
Thank you,

Hi Allan,
According to your description, my understanding is that grant permission to ADFS roles.
Please refer to “A Fellows” last suggestion to grant permission to ADFS roles in the link below:

Report service Integration (sql 2012 and SharePoint 2013) error Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace

Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace
Domain Server, Sql2012 server and SP2013 Server (3 vm servers)
the sql server reporting services service application and applications Proxy are installed and started (SP2013 Sever)
the sql server PowerPivot system Service and SQL server Reporting Services Service are Started (in Services on Server)
in sql server 2012 sp1 reporting service configured (web service URL and Report Manager URL are configured and tested, the database report server mode is native) (SQl 2012 Server)
under general Application Settings .. trying to setup the "Reporting Service Integration" give us the above error message (Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace)
I was looking for all blogs and TechNet material but without success.

Follow these steps:
1) Uninstall SSRS from the Database Engine server (MSSQLSERVER instance).
2) Install SSRS on the SharePoint server using the "Reporting Services - SharePoint" install option during SQL Feature selection, no other services are required (e.g. you do not need to install Database Engine services).
3) You should then see SSRS as a Service Instance in Central Admin -> Manage Services on Server, at which point you can also create an SSRS Service Application.
While this guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx#bkmk_install_SSRS) walks you through it, this is for a single server install where the Database Engine is also installed on SharePoint, not something you want to do.
