As a developer, can you not write your own? Smile | :)

I am not a developer! I do a little programming but am mainly a T-SQL person as a DBA.

I did think about it though Smile | :)

Your profile says you are.....

If your not looking for anything fancy, then sometimes rolling your own can be the best option. Sometimes giving your brain that little challenge is enought to keep you ticking over nicely.

Actually my profile says I have been programming. That technically is not a developer as they generally (I hope) know what they are doing.

The number of programs being used by people that I have developed is very small and the programs themselves are simple.
Four years ago I could have knocked something out quickly but know I need to refresh my memory on how to do it which I like to do but the boss thinks I could use my time else where. Big Grin | :-D

If you've got Server SQL, why not use Reporting Services (SSRS)?

Good question. Mainly I do not know how to. I guess I can get my book out and see what I come up with.

-- I have a quick and dirt report but need to figure out formatting.

Excel?

I use it and it is easy to manipulate.

I have a text column that is greater than 255 characters. Frown | :(

Excel has a problem when I try to move the info around.

Excel as a reporting tool is a dog, integrating any office product to a database/c# application is always fraught with danger.

Outputting the data to a csv file and manipulating it in excel on the other hand is reasonable.

I write XML and then use XSLT to transform the data (to HTML or CSV).

Get to know SSRS, theoretically as a DBA it does (sort of) come under database.

It's free and you can use embedded reports if your requirements are simple (if you do not need the full server capability).

Hi everyone.

My Problem is:
I'm building a project using entity framework. The data base is generate by a edmx(database project). To implement business logic i use stored procedures, but i only con map the to parent entity funcions. I can't map stored procedures to an associated table.

Hi,
the problem is not the sp. The problem is i can't map it. I only can map sp to an Entity(stored procedure mapping) that exists in the .edmx file. Ex: sp_insertClient is mapped to the addClient at mapping functions. But imagine that is another table associted with the Client table by a many-to-many association. The intermediate table beetwen them has no entity in the designer model(.edmx file). So, i can not map a sp to that intermediate table.

Best regards

send your data as an xml to the sp as

SQL

SET @Sls_Serial = SCOPE_IDINTITY();

DECLARE @insptr Int;
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @insptr OUTPUT, @XML;

INSERT INTO Sales_Head
    SELECT
      @Sls_Serial_No
      -- ,<other columns>
     FROM OPENXML(@insptr,'<element path>',1)
WITH
(<column> <type> '@<attribute name>');

EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @insptr

Sir, I should have thought about about you answer "What error did it give..?" I checked the log file carefully and found a the edge of the thread where i can start "Product: MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 -- (KB973686) Configuration failed." so i got redirected to the MSDN, searched for "(KB973686)" and simply fount the solution. $Shucks | :-\$

thanks for all who participated in this thread and tried to help me.
