• SQL Server Report Server Setup when query against terabytes of data

  Hi all, Can anyone point me to a resource on the best way to setup and use SSRS 2005 when reporting on tables that could have 1 billion rows. The database in question will have mulitple schema's each being at least 1 terabyte in size. Thanks -JW The size of the database matters much less than the size of the data you want in the report. My advice is to push as much filtering and sorting logic as you can into the back end database and return only the result set you want to display into SSRS 2005. Assuming you filter the data down to 20-100 page reports, going against billions of rows and terabytes of data is not difficult. Thanks. Donovan Smith ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change a (C# winform) Screen Saver's Title (friendly name) in Display Properties?

  Hi there, I have a farely simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I've got a C# Winforms application that after building results in an executable. This executable is then renamed to an .scr file and used as a Screen Saver. How can I get this file to come up with a different name than the filename in the dropdown list in Display Properties/Screen Saver My screensaver's filename is "screensaver.scr" and the dropdown shows "screensaver", instead of a more friendly name "My Beautiful Screen Saver". I've searched everywhere but all I get is things that refer to a StringTable, where you have to add a row with ID 1 and name "title" and value "screensaver title". This ...Show All

• SQL Server SP1 installation problem

  I recently tried to install SP1 on an instance of SQL Server 2005 standard edition, running on Win2003 Small Business Server. The installation ran with no error, except that it took a very long time, almost an hour, much more than the same installation on another similar server. After the SP1 installation, the instance of SQL Server 2005 is still in RTM version (9.00.1399.06) instead of being in SP1 version. We ran the installation again with the same result. Does someone have any suggestion about the cause and the solution Thanks Did you check the sp1 log file for any errors See if any component update failed under %windir%\hotfix\hotfix.log, it has something like following: ...Show All

• SQL Server Questions on translation and naming attribute

  Hello I have a few questions regarding the translations. 1. Is it possible to create this neat auto-generated date dimension in any other languages than english 2. When I use the Currency format string on my autogenerated measure groups they all turn out as $, but when I use it on a calculated member it chooses the correct currency. How can I change this for the auto generated measures 3. After creating the member, how do you define the deafult member show from the dimension. Say for example that I have DimEmpl(Code, Name). I would like the Name attribute to be the attribute showing by default. I know this is possible while creating the dimension, but what if I want to change it later Thanks // Richard ...Show All
