Have you switched IDENTITY_INSERT on by mistake?
SET IDENTITY_INSERT table OFF
Maybe a space between identity and insert, check the docs.

Thanks Mark. You are right, it was switched on. Now it works fine.
Thanks.

There are several ways to insert images into a report. The first method I tried was a database based solution. IE 7.0 was unable to render the image. It worked on FireFox 2.0 only. However FireFox had other lacks which obstructed developement.
Then I went on using project based method, wich gave exectly the same result.
The embeded solution is not suitable for us, because we have hundreds of reports and the size is an important factor.
The URL based method worked fine with outer addresses like:
http://szerver1.krk-gyarfas.sulinet.hu/~ref/erdokertes_elemei/kazetta2.jpg
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK WITH local images like:
http://rs1/ReportServer?%2fGrassReports%2flogo.png
In later case the Report Manager truncated the URL of the imeges to:
http://rs1/
This seems to be a BUG. If there is a workaround then please send it asap!

in an insert statement how to insert a row when all the values are not supplied
please help
Thanks

show the table name followed by the columns you have
sort of
insert into table1(name, firstname) values ('Smith','Fred')
where table 1 also contains the address etc
Hope this helps, but I suspect you need a book on SQL before going much further.

I am trying to set dynamic field in the page header .
If the report has multiple pages, header(with the field) occurs while viewing the report.
But while exporting to PDF or Excel , header(with the field) comes on first page only. Other pages do not contain the header information.
Thanks in advance

hai.
currently i m using asp.net with c# (2.0 framework)
sql server 2000.
i need to convert row into column. (without using pivot table. since some days back i found a query to execute it in "google". but i missed the query)
for example...
ID - Name
101 - Rajesh
102 - Jay
103 - Karthick
104 - Vishnu
i need the output as...
ID - NAME - ID - NAME - ID - NAME - ID - NAME
101 Rajesh 102 Jay 103 Karthick 104 Vishnu
how to achieve it? help me - KARAN

The whole technique is pivoting - taking rows and turning them into columns is pivoting.

What happens when you have 50,000 records? You cannot string them together in a single row, and if you could what use would it be?
I think you need to think about what you are trying to achieve and then decide how you need the data.

Thanks Bob.. You are right.

I've written a series of ASP and winform applications for a database my one of my company's software vendors built. The vendor puts user login credentials in the sql connection strings in order to authenticate users. Since the same database is to be used, I have to use the same authentication method to keep users from being confused with additional usernames/passwords to remember.
Other than an attacker appending Integrated Security=True to the end of the connection string. What security issues should I be concerned about with this method?

Make sure that the connecting user only have access to the bare minimum he requires.
Such as only execute on sprocs and not access to change the sprocs, or direct access to the underlying tables.
|
|
|
|
|
<sarcasm>HAHAHA!! Of COURSE all users have very as-needed access to the DB! Our software vendor's thought of that!</sarcasm>
Of course, with any of my tables I try to keep things restricted to stored procs that certain users have access to.
Thanks for pointing this out, though. I appreciate any response.

I would be concerned about storing user names and passwords as plain text.

In the DB, the user credentials are stored in the syslogins table, so there's at least that bit of security.
In most of my user side applications, I've been known to use a 1-1 and onto encryption to store credentials. I've been known to be lazy at times, however.
Fortunately, no one at this company is familiar with memory editors much less CLR reflection.
Thanks for the input.

Keep this in mind for your web apps. It doesn't apply to desktop apps because pooling is rarely an issue there.
Pool Fragmentation Due to Integrated Security
Connections are pooled according to the connection string plus the user identity. Therefore, if you use Basic authentication or Windows Authentication on the Web site and an integrated security login, you get one pool per user. Although this improves the performance of subsequent database requests for a single user, that user cannot take advantage of connections made by other users. It also results in at least one connection per user to the database server. This is a side effect of a particular Web application architecture that developers must weigh against security and auditing requirements.

Firstly, you don't need a trigger to auto generate numbers, have an identity column instead.
Secondly for the basic structure of a trigger try reading the help.
In fact, in light of your question, I suggest you read up on triggers before attempting to use them as you seem unclear about what they are for.

What is the benifit i get using stored procedure instead of tables in my web application using asp.net with c#

Security - If you provide access to the stored procs only and revoke access directly to the tables.
Consistent interface with the database - If you update your table structure it can easily break any applications that rely on the old structure. With stored procedures you get to define exactly what inputs and outputs are meaning that if you change your table structure the only other changes needed are to stored procedures (also in the database) so your applications will never need to be updated and redeployed.

... and performance. I know dynamic sql queries now get the query plan cached, but for anything slightly complex a stored procedure will consistently outperform dynamic sql. You are also (or should be) moving lots less data around the network - consider the select statment for a table of 25 columns compared to a simple "up_getaccount @accountid= 'abc'"

Negligable these days... Also you can really screw up a sproc if it has a conditional statement with each path requiring a wildly different query plan. The first time the sproc is used it will cache the query plan. When it goes down the other path in subsequent calls it will be using an inefficient query plan.

Should not be in the same proc then. Maybe have one main proc which checks the conditional variable and calls a further proc dependant on the value (which will then be properly optimised)
As for using stored procs, if you want more than a reasonably straight forward query there are far more opportunities for perfomance tuning in a proc than a piece of sql.
