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]

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

Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane. Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer. One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data. The data is editable and instantly updated. We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005, and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor. I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose this functionality. I have SQL 2005 Standard Client Tools installed with the SQL 2005 Express Engine, as well as SQL 2000 Client Tools.
The question is this: How do you edit data in the results grid in SQL 2005 Management Studio as you would in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager when you Open Table via Query (Action->Open Table->Query), and what option/configuration setting or panel would you need to enable/show to make this a permanent feature? In other words, what is the equivalent of Action->Open Table->Query in Management Studio? And how do you make it the default setting?

Can this be done in SQL 2005? Or only in SQL 2000?|||You can use the Open Table functionality to modify the data in a table or schema-bound view. To do this, right click on a table (or view) and select Open Table (or Open View).|||I'm looking for Open Table via Query, not just All Rows.|||bump|||

Open a SQL Editor window, type some text, highlight the text, and select Design Query in Editor. This will bring up a modal dialog containing a Query Designer with your SQL.

Is this what you were looking for?

|||

I too have spent hours trying to figure out how to do tasks that were easy in SQL 2000 EM. If I open a table, it retrieves all rows, not something I want to do with a remote server.

I'd like to query a table, and be able to add or delete records, as well as edit data. SQL Management Studio seems to be lacking this feature of Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer.

If I save a query to an .sql file, I can't add new records. There's got to be a better way.

|||

Can you safely use SQL 2000 client tools (Enterprise Manager/Query Analyzer) with SQL Server 2005? Is that a viable alternative to Management Studio?

|||

I searched for a possible solution and the only one is using SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager. If you want to use Management Studio this is bad, because we were using this feature for querying one or two records and changing some simple data. Now we have to write update queries, be aware of rowcount, take care of transactions, etc. Maybe this is the way MS wants people to do.

Also our DB admins will not be happy when developers use "Open Table" in Management Studio and query all data in tables which has millions of rows.

|||

I created a small table with just a few records. I open the table, and then paste my SQL query into the SQL pane, so I can query any table I want. I'll probably create a few more small tables so that I can use them for opening multiple queries at the same time.

This gets me by for now. I suspect Microsoft wants me to develope my own application or web pages to manage data, or use MS Access. It just seems that Management Studio should do the basics, and do them well. Wordwrap and pressing the INS key to toggle insert mode in the results pane don't work either, by design i've been told, which is unbelievable. I guess as a server product it's not designed to be as user friendly as I expect.

|||

I can't get the "open table" command to work. Was I suppose to set this function up during install or is it something within SSMS?

|||In SQL Management Studio, just right click a table.|||

Topm,

When I tried doing this I got this error,

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (SQLEditors)"

This doesn't tell me anything.

|||I was running SSMS remotely, apparently it doesn't like this. When I remote to the server then run SSMS it works fine.|||

The 'Open Table' command opens a grid with a * 'new row' at the end.
When I enter some data there it says always:

No row was updated.
The data in row 1 was not commited.
Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataTools.
Error Message: The update row has changed or been deleted since data was last retrieved.
Correct the errors and retry or press ESC to cancel the change(s).

If I link that table from an Access database I can enter new data as it should be.

What is wrong here?

|||I have a related problem. In the query designer of Server Management Studio I can't enable the results option in the Pane. So I have to close the query designer to execute it. Does anyone knows how to enable the results pane in query designer?

I too have spent hours trying to figure out how to do tasks that were easy in SQL 2000 EM. If I open a table, it retrieves all rows, not something I want to do with a remote server.

I'd like to query a table, and be able to add or delete records, as well as edit data. SQL Management Studio seems to be lacking this feature of Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer.

If I save a query to an .sql file, I can't add new records. There's got to be a better way.

Can you safely use SQL 2000 client tools (Enterprise Manager/Query Analyzer) with SQL Server 2005? Is that a viable alternative to Management Studio?

|||

I searched for a possible solution and the only one is using SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager. If you want to use Management Studio this is bad, because we were using this feature for querying one or two records and changing some simple data. Now we have to write update queries, be aware of rowcount, take care of transactions, etc. Maybe this is the way MS wants people to do.

Also our DB admins will not be happy when developers use "Open Table" in Management Studio and query all data in tables which has millions of rows.

|||

I created a small table with just a few records. I open the table, and then paste my SQL query into the SQL pane, so I can query any table I want. I'll probably create a few more small tables so that I can use them for opening multiple queries at the same time.

This gets me by for now. I suspect Microsoft wants me to develope my own application or web pages to manage data, or use MS Access. It just seems that Management Studio should do the basics, and do them well. Wordwrap and pressing the INS key to toggle insert mode in the results pane don't work either, by design i've been told, which is unbelievable. I guess as a server product it's not designed to be as user friendly as I expect.

I can't get the "open table" command to work. Was I suppose to set this function up during install or is it something within SSMS?

Topm,

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (SQLEditors)"

The 'Open Table' command opens a grid with a * 'new row' at the end.
When I enter some data there it says always:

No row was updated.
The data in row 1 was not commited.

Error Message: The update row has changed or been deleted since data was last retrieved.
Correct the errors and retry or press ESC to cancel the change(s).

Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane. Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer. One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data. The data is editable and instantly updated. We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005, and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor. I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose this functionality. I have SQL 2005 Standard Client Tools installed with the SQL 2005 Express Engine, as well as SQL 2000 Client Tools.
The question is this: How do you edit data in the results grid in SQL 2005 Management Studio as you would in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager when you Open Table via Query (Action->Open Table->Query), and what option/configuration setting or panel would you need to enable/show to make this a permanent feature? In other words, what is the equivalent of Action->Open Table->Query in Management Studio? And how do you make it the default setting?

Directly edit table data?

Here is a most basic of questions from a past user of Enterprise Manager where I used to simply connect, hit the database, open the data in table view and voila, edit, add or delete table data when such a thing was needed in a pinch.

I've downloaded and installed MS SQL Server Management Studio and worked with the table structure (columns, field types, etc) but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my hands on the actual data as I used to so simply!

Help! What am I missing! I searched here as well and found entries noting how to build an application to do such a thing, but surely that functionality hadn't been lost, has it?

alyoung *at* bluemarble *dot* net

Just try right-clicking on the desired table and select "Open Table".|||Oh.My.Gosh. How dumb am I!? If only all life's questions could be answered so easily!

directly deleting sql view

i have created a view. And deleted it directly from the database. using Shift+delete. WIll it affect the tables, which has used in that view?No, data and tables are OK....
Dont worry.... :)

You have to be careful thou on what you do with a database it could be millions of dollars lost for the company or not accounted for.
Get yourself test database or play with Pubs first.

Directions on how to install SQL 2000 not as Windows admin

Hmmm, typically you need to have local administrative rights to perform
application installs. Perhaps you could negiotiate, or create (depending on
your position on this ;), a local account that has administrative rights,
use that for the install, then disable the account once SQL Server is
installed.
Steve|||I appreciate the response, but it wasn't helpful.
I am certain Microsoft has produced a guide to setting up a SQL Server 2000
with an account that is not SysAdmin. I want a link to that guide.
If there isn't a guide, then someone should surely write one.

I don't think you can do either of the first two, simply because the
installation makes changes to both Windows and SQL Server that should
not be allowed by someone without administrator privileges.
In any case, it would help if you could be more specific about whether
"account" means Windows account, SQL Server account (login), or
something else, whether SysAdmin refers to the SQL Server system
administrator role or something else, and what you mean by "setting up".

If that's the case, create an account you want the service to run with and
then specify that account
during the install. If you've already installed, then go into Enterprise Ma
nager and select the Security Tab. Type in the account info there and click
on OK. SQL with then apply the correct security permissions to that accoun
t. If you do it in the Ser
vices portion of computer manager, the security permissions won't be applied
and the service will not start.

Sometimes the chart axis labels are horizontal.
How can I control this?
Thank you in advance.

In RS 2000, the orientation is determined automatically based on the
available space. Providing additional manual and automatic label modes is
under consideration for a future release.
