Query to help create RDL

Usually, I would use the SSRS wizard to quickly create my table with all my fields. In this case I have to add more fields onto an existing report that has my custom formatting of each column (eg. showing/hiding columns).

So for a quick solution, I developed this ad hoc query that I can then use to pull the fields I would need to add from a view into the report. This ends up being a lot of copy & paste actions into the xml (view code) of the rdl.

 

CREATE PROCEDURE [hrr].[usp_RDL_ColumnField_XML]

(

       @view varchar(50)

)

AS

BEGIN

       -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

       -- interfering with SELECT statements.

       SET NOCOUNT ON;

 

       --DECLARE @view varchar(50)

       --SET @view = 'V_EVALUATIONS'

Query storage size on your tables or tables in the database.

A helpful query on finding the size of your specific tables in SQL Server. Just replace with your string list of tables.

Code Snippet

1. SELECT
2. sum(RowCounts) as RowCounts,
3. SUM(TotalSpaceKB) AS TotalSpaceKB,
4. SUM(UsedSpaceKB) AS UsedSpaceKB,
5. SUM(UnusedSpaceKB) AS UnusedSpaceKB
6. FROM
7. (
8.     SELECT
9.         sum(p.rows) AS RowCounts,
10.         SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 AS TotalSpaceKB,
11.         SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 AS UsedSpaceKB,
12.         (SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8 AS UnusedSpaceKB
13.     FROM
14.         sys.tables t
15.     INNER JOIN      
16.         sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id

TSQL Function: Count Work Days from two dates.

A T-SQL function to calculate number of business days (work days) given two dates.
It uses CTE recursive to quickly get a row number count.

   SET @EndDate = @Temp
   SET @FlipBitFlag = 1
