Combining details from two datasets

Hi. I'm just starting to develop reports using Visual Studio 2005 and
Reporting Services 2005 and am still trying to get my head round things. One
immediate problem I could use some advice on is this.
I'm trying to reproduce a report that, in its original incarnation as an asp
page, displayed data returned by two Stored Procedures. The report displayed
the data returned by SP1 in the first 5 columns and for each Group returned
by SP1, SP2 returned an associated figure that was displayed as column 6.
How would I do this in a RS Report since those report objects that are
associated with Datasets - i.e. Tables, Lists and Matrices - can only be
associated with one Dataset?
I'd appreciate any pointers anyone would care to give me on this.
Regards,
YaHozna.You do this with subreport. A subreport can be put into the field of the
table control. First create two reports. The main one with all the data.
Then the report that will be a subreport. Get the second report to work
stand alone first (create it with parameters). Then drag and drop the second
report into a cell of the table object. Do a right mouse click on the sub
report, parameters and bind the parameters to a field of the dataset.

your patience once more? I can't seem to set the formatting of the subreport
cell in my table to match the rest of the row, which is a different colour
and font. I've tried changing the formatting of the subreport but to no
avail. Is there a way to do this?

Combine 2 datasources in one report?

I have loaded up the newest latests, greatest Visual Studio, SQL reporting etc. I have a need to pull in data from multiple sources. Currently I have DTS packages I have to run to dump information into 1 data source to report on. Has anybody figured out a way to have multipled data sources available when in the query builder?

I am scratching my head on this one.

Your report can have 2 datasets, each with a different datasource, but you cannot combine them into a single dataset within the report.

If you need to combine the data from 2 datasources into a single dataset, you'll need to handle this in your query/stored proc via a linked server or something similar.|||Thanks Andy for your quick response. It interesting that one can pull this off in MS Access with a simple ODBC but I cant in SQL reporting. I am not sure what you mean by linked server in this case.|||Linked Servers:

Column Properties Window Bug in Management Studio?

This issue deals with where to see the default value for a column in Sql Server 2005 Management Studio.

I have a default value of (1) in a column of type bit:

If you right click on the column in Management Studio object explorer and choose properties, the default value does not appear under "Default Binding" or "Default Schema" in the Column Properties window.

If you select the table and then choose View -> Summary, double click on the Columns folder, then right click -> properties on the column, again the default value does not appear under "Default Binding" or "Default Schema" in the Column Properties window.

If you right click on the table or column and choose "Modify", then select the column, the default value appears in "Default Value or Binding".

If you script the table out (right click -> Script Table as -> Create to), the default value for that column appears in the script.

I'm wondering if this is by design or a bug? Obviously right click-> properties is not a reliable way to view the properties on a column.

Hello Eric,

This issue seems to be a bug in Column Properties page. Could you please report this issue through Connect web site

Column length changes back to default automatically

Why is it that when I create a varchar column in a table through the
SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and assign it a length of, say, 10,
when I tab to the next field, the length is changed back to 50? If I
return to the column type field and correct it, it works fine.Because there is a bug in Management Studio. It will be fixed at the latest
in SQL Server 2008; in the meantime, you will either have to live with it,
or use CREATE TABLE in a query window instead of the table designer (which
has about 50 other bugs, FWIW). Here are three issues relating to your
problem:

The last one suggests the bug was being considered for SP2, but I don't
think it made the bar. One of the others suggests that it has been fixed in
an early Katmai CTP. Have you updated your client tools to SP2 or better?

collation settings for codepage 1255

Hi,
I am parsing some HTML and getting text from one of the tags encoded in 1255.
In visual studio everything looks ok, but after the text is saved to the DB,
all I can see is '?' standing for each letter.
I tryed playing around with the collation settings for that colomn, but I
just can`t seem to get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Elad.
Hi Elad,
I understand that you found that when the text encoded in 1255 was added to
the database, the letters were converted to '?'.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
To let me better understand your issue, I would like to know the following
questions:
1. Did you add the text by your application or manually run T-SQL statement
in Query Analyzer?
I recommend that you run the T-SQL statement in QA to see if this issue
persist.
2. Could you please give the table definition and the text content if this
issue can be reproduced in QA?
3. What is the database access provider that you used in your application?
Best regards,
Charles Wang

collation settings for codepage 1255

Hi,
I am parsing some HTML and getting text from one of the tags encoded in 1255.
In visual studio everything looks ok, but after the text is saved to the DB,
all I can see is '?' standing for each letter.
I tryed playing around with the collation settings for that colomn, but I
just can`t seem to get it to work.
Any ideas?
