directors, actors, films (was "SqlPlus query. Need some help")

What i want to find is the following:

Find first and lastname for all female directors who have directed more than 5 movies,
and have used the same actor in all of their movies.

I've done the first part of this query which lists female directors with more than 5 movies:

select firstname, lastname
from person
where gender = 'F' AND personid in
(select personid
from participation
where partname = 'director'
group by personid
having count(personId)>5)
order by surname;

Now, how do I find the directors that have used the same actor in all of their movies?

5957HOMEWORK! :) :)

how do you define an actor? and when you say "have used the same actor in all of their movies" does this mean any actor or all actors?

by the way, you shouldn't have participation_id as the primary key of Participation -- the primary key should consist of the pair of columns person_id, film_id|||1. an actor is defined to participate in a film whenever partname = 'actor'.

2. Any actor is sufficient

Directly printing Report from RS without previewing

Hi All,
Is there a way to send a report from Reporting service directly to the printer without previewing in VS 2005 web application? I tried out an example which exports the report into a pdf and then sends it over to the printer but apparently it did not print. It stopped working after saving the reoprt on the client machine. The article is located at

http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/RSPrintLandscape.asp

Thanks for the help in advance.

what version ? 2000 or 05 ?

printer on the server or on the client ?
if you look at the samples there is a printer delivery sample.

in rs 2000 I hacked that up some to output to a printer w/o the subscription stuff.
basicly when Render() is called it makes a windows EMF file that can then be sent to a printer as a page of output.

do that in a loop and you get printed copy.

just set the page up at the start with the right settings...

|||

and, you know how send the emf correctly to a printer?...

mm.. or how to construct a Printer Settigs or PrinterDocument?...

what should i do?

this is a part of code, and

PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings();
printerSettings.MaximumPage = m_numberOfPages;
printerSettings.MinimumPage = 1;
printerSettings.PrintRange = PrintRange.SomePages;
printerSettings.FromPage = 1;
printerSettings.ToPage = m_numberOfPages;
printerSettings.PrinterName = "Hp Dj 550"; //here goes printer's name.
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();

pd.PrinterSettings = printerSettings;

pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(this.pd_PrintPage);

pd.Print();

Inside of pd_PrintPage method, i don't have anything about the printer, just code to conver a byte[] into a graphics file... what ever, nothing goes to the printer... thanks in advance for your attention.

|||Have you taken a look at http://www.gotreportviewer.com/? There is a sample called "Print a report from a console app" that uses the ReportViewer control to do this.|||

Thanks for the link Brian - this is almost exactly what I need to do (automatically print local reports).

My ADO.NET skills are not quite up to par - how would I modify the Run method of this example to execute an existing server based report that I have? I have managed to convert the report from an RDL to an RDLC, and added it to my Console Project with VB.NET. In addition, I created a new Data Set within this project that returns the data from the original stored procedure that was used for the RDL file. I now need to associate this new Data Set with the RDLC report, as well as pass some parameters to it, but I am not sure how to proceed.

Any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Directly print to Printer

Hi,
I have a VB Application with Crystal Report 8. If I click the print button in VB, I dont want to show the Crystal Report. I want to print the contents of the report directly to the Printer without showing the report. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance
MadhivananFrom memory, so.........please forgive any errors from failed memory......:-))

assumes using CR active x control:

Dim objPrintApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim objReport As CRAXDRT.Report

Set objPrintApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
Set objReport = objPrintApp.OpenReport(strReportSourcePath & strSourceFile)
objPrintApp.LogOnServerEx "pdsodbc.dll", "database", "database", "user", "pwd"

' set PromptUser to False, NumberOfCopies to value >=1
' all parameters in brackets are optional.
objReport.Printout [PromptUser], [NumberOfCopies], [Collated], [StartPageNumber], [StopPageNumber]

dave|||Thanks springsoft. I think this is for CR9 but what is the code for CR8?.

Directly generate PDF file

Is it possible to generate directly a PDF file with a name, and not first
come in the HTML page and then eport to PDF.
I hope someone knows how.
Kind regards
A. MoeskerSure, you can do this with either web services or URL integration. You
specify the render method. The default is HTML. If you have a link in your
report use the jump to URL instead of jump to report. Look at books online
and search on URL

The URL is built up and then calls a window to open up the new URL which
automatically causes the document to either open or be saved (users selection
via dialogue box).
var HLINK="";
HLINK = HLINK + "http://{RS Server Name}/ReportServer"
HLINK = HLINK + "?%2f{Folder Name}%2f"+sReportName
HLINK = HLINK + "&rs%3aClearSession=true"
HLINK = HLINK + "&rs%3aCommand=Render"
HLINK = HLINK + "&rs%3aFormat=" + aFormat //HTML4.0 - PDF - EXCEL
HLINK = HLINK + "&S_Customer="+S_Customer //Params go here
HLINK = HLINK + "&rc%3aToolbar=True"
HLINK = HLINK + "&rc%3aJavaScript=True"
HLINK = HLINK + "&rc%3aLinkTarget=_top"
HLINK = HLINK + "&rc%3aArea=Toolbar"
HLINK = HLINK + ""
You can see how the URL is built up. I use some 12 or so params with this
page and thay can be bolted on where I have indicated.
Best of luck,
