Hi,
I am having problems logging into my reportserver on our 64bit sql server 2005, which runs on Windows 2003 server. It works 100%on the test machine, which is a 32bit normal WinXP pc, with sql server 2005 enterprise.
I noticed that if I browse to the reports (localhost/reports) on the 64bit machine via IE, I cant open the page - get "page cannot be displayed" error. I also get an error in the event log that says "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'. [CLIENT: <local machine="">]". My Reporting Services Configuration tool says everything is ok, and working.
I am very new to reporting services, and dont know where to start debugging, or look for help.

Hi,
How can i concatenate two rows together? I have a table with id and three columns. I want to display all the colunms with same id in a row.
Original Table:
id column1 column2 column3
1 a b c
1 d e f
2 g h i
2 k l m
Desired Result:
id column1 column2 column3 column4 column5 column6
1 a b c d e f
2 g h i k l m
So rows are shifted up where ID is same. Is it possible to get this result through query? I'll very much appreciate any help.
Thanks

Maybe someone else has a better idea, but I can't think of a pretty way to do this. If the data is ALWAYS in two records, you could try something like:
select ids.id,
(select top 1 column1 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1) as column1,
(select top 1 column2 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1) as column2,
(select top 1 column3 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1) as column3,
(select top 1 column1 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1 desc) as column4,
(select top 1 column2 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1 desc) as column5,
(select top 1 column3 from mytesttable t2 where t2.id = IDs.id order by column1 desc) as column6
from (select distinct id from mytesttable) as IDs
Any other solution would probably involve a cursor and/or temporary table.

Thank you for your solution. I have over 100 colunms in some of my tables so i guess using cursor and temp table would be the choice. Anyway, thanks for the idea.

Hi.
I use sql parameters every time i connect to a database, so it's about time i know the truth 
Does SQL parameters block SQL injections 100%? and how is parameters different from normal SQL strings? (In the way it works)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, i have read it, understand SQL injections and how to prevent it.
But is sql parameters really 100% secure, and how does it work? (does it put '' around the data input or/and does it have any checks against the attacks?)

Thanks for the link. Nice to know, but unfortunaly it does not answer my question.

As far as I know it is secure. I haven't run into any security breaches using SQL parameters. I pretty much stick to stored procedures. You may want to contact the author of the article I mentioned

I have never been able to execute an SQL injection attack on any on my applications that uses SQL parameters, but there is always someone better knowing out there
I will contact the author of the article you mentioned, did not even think of that for some weird reason.

Same here and I'd like to also know if it's 100% secure. I am for the time going with that until someone out there proves otherwise

Hi all.
I'm wondering if any of you would know of any articles and/or books regarding ways to keep track of who's been entering a particular record, modifying it, etc. I'm working on something right now that I would like to have something like it in place.
I can think of putting a couple of fields, last_modified_by and date_of_mod, into each table which see the need for tracking, but that seems clunky. It would work well enough for this project as only a few people will be using it and it's not very big but when I start getting into the bigger stuff, I'm sure that will break down.
So, if anybody knows of any good references, please, send it along.
Thanks,
Keith

That is a start. I don't see why it would be an issue when you add more users to the system would be a problem, though.
You might want to have a separate table for keeping the audit trail rather than adding fields to the existing tables.

I have seen and used that strategy in many projects and it generally works well. On projects that require closer auditing, I use triggers to log changes to another database. That way, even admins changes through queries are logged. The data generated by this method is heavily taxing on database resources and may not scale well to very high transaction volumes (only load tests can show the truth).

Thanks.

OleDb[^] allows connections to many different DB types including SQL Server.
Why don't you want to use the native Sql class?

oledb use to all data base like oracle, sql server,ms-Access etc.
