I want to print a certain data for my program, but every time I run the program it shows all the DATA instead of showing the specific DATA that I want to print. how can I do it? can anyone tell me a way to ease my problem?
Is there a way to choose one DATA in my DATABASE? So that I can print it alone.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, Visual Basic Window Form Application, and my DB is in SQL SERVER 2005.
and to show the DATA I used REPORT WIZARD.
I've encountered the same problem before and I took some research. I think you should use 'Filtering and Parameterizing'

I have not seen this one yet, so I am hoping one of you can help me out here.
I am in VS 2013, have a Report Server solution going, and when I click Add New Report, it opens up a report in VS. I can use the query designer to add fields and such, but once I "finish" that wizard, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get back into the wizard.
The reason I ask is because right now, if I want to simply add a field, I need to alter the query, alter the XML, and hope for the best. Ideally, I'd just be able to pop back into the Wizard to grab the fields (and their aliases), and then use the designer view to actually manipulate my tables.
Any ideas? Or am I stuck re-creating the report every time I need to add a field?
Sorry if anything is unclear - this is literally my first day using VS to write reports, and honestly, I Feel pretty good so far!
Thanks!
Use SQL Server Data Tools. Its very easy to use and will allow you to create and enhance your reports. Here is a link to it:

I have an SSRS report that I have updated the sql for one of the datasets. I have ran clean on the project and then rebuild. I deleted the original report from the server. I deployed the new report and then ran it. When I use SQL Profiler I can see that it executes the original SQL for the dataset. When I open the .rdl file in a text editor the SQL for the dataset has been saved correctly. What can be going wrong?
Solved the issue. It was an 'I'm a beepin muppet' problem ;-) There were two very similar reports and I was changing the wrong one! Lesson to learn is remember to dig through the code to determine exactly which report is being invoked via your application before trying to update it!
I want to generate a csv report with the following format in SSIS -
Some Static Text - 1
Data from SQL
Some Static Text - 2
Data From SQL
I was thinking to create a report with these static texts in my report and generate the SQL data at runtime. But i can not fix the position of the Some Static text - 2 as the records from SQL can be 'n' in numbers.
I am newbie to SSIS, any help is much appreciated
You need SSRS. You can build reports for it in Visual Studio. SSIS is an ETL tool (Extract, transform, load) which is primarily used to aggregate data, migrate data, consolidate data, etc. SSRS is a tool that allows end-users to consume dynamic reports that you provide.
EDIT:
Install SSRS and configure it so that it's working:

I assume you already have SSDT since you mentioned SSIS, but just in case you don't:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh500335(v=vs.103).aspx
Then you'll open Visual Studio, create a new SSRS project, make a new report, define your datasource(s), and use the toolbox to add tables or whatever other display you need. It can also use parameters if you need user-input. Static content can be placed wherever you need it - and different datasets can be displayed wherever you need them, as well.
I would like to help more, but it sounds like you are starting from scratch and I can't possibly tell you everything there is to know about SSRS in this forum. So, here is an SSRS Tutorial:

Good luck - SSRS/SSIS/SSDT are awesome tools so I'm sure you'll find what you need.
I have recently started working with SQL databases of which I have no previous experience with. I have added the datasource to my project using the Visual Studio wizard and the DataSet appears in my solution explorer.
Everything that I have read thus far has shown connecting to the SQL server and then sending query commands, but since I have added the direct reference to my project is this necessary. I thought since I had added the reference to my project I would have direct accesbility to it, but it appears that is not so.
Also to help the searching process a view has been created on the SQL server that polls all of my desired fields in a single shot. I have linked this view to my dataset after utilized the datasource wizard. Any recommendations on how I can access the data from that view?
I apologize for the vagueness of my questions, but I am not really 100% sure the questions I need to be asking. I appreciate the help.
Thanks
Turns out the best means to solve this problem was to ditch the Data Source Wizard and use standard SQL queries.
I've got a linux server that already connects happily to a MS SQL Server and I want to know if there is a way to dump the whole thing into a format I can read. I don't have access to the desktop, but I can connect using PHP and I can issue whatever commands I want. I have admin access to the SQL Server, so no problem there.
My main goal is to understand how the people before me set this thing up. I already know how to get the stored procedures as text (SELECT * FROM sys.procedures), but I was wondering if there is a way to get the whole database. I'm not very familiar with SQL Server so I don't know what important bits I might be missing.
And I don't care if the solution is in PHP or not. That's just the thing I've got working right now. Any SQL-ish command that dumps the entire database would solve my world.
To summarize:
I don't have access to the actual machine/desktop
I have admin access to the DB using PHP's mssql libs
I'm on linux
I want a text file I can look at that tells me everything in the database
My goal is not to answer a specific question - I'm looking to understand what the people before me did when they set up this database. Unknown unknowns, and all that.
Okay, hopefully I've made sense. I'm sorry if I've been a complete idiot. Be gentle. Thanks!
I would backup (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186865.aspx) the database to file and then download it, restore it on Windows and then use SQL Server tools like SQL Server Management Studio etc. to look at it.
There is plenty you can do with the metadata, but you could spend a lot of time writing queries instead of using existing off-the-shelf documentation tools.
You can use this script to create insert statements for any given table.
This stackoverflow question will tell you how to generate create table statements.
SELECT NAME FROM sys.tables will give you a list of table names.
You would probably save a LOT of time and pain by just using native SQL SErver Windows tools that work with it.
