Hi Folks,


Hope you all are doing good. Would like to start with praying for all those who have been affected by a deadly earthquake in Nepal. Just when it seems that life is good something like this happens, to remind us of that we are not permanent here. Death is a bitter truth.


Moving on this week I again ran into one of the bugs in reporting services 2005 i.e. we cannot have aggregates of aggregates in a situation where we have a parent group and a child group.

Requirement -    See the resultset below

pid pdesc cid cdesc
1 harish 1 ninu
1 harish 2 lovely
2 asha        3  ricky
2 asha   4 hina

We have 2 groups one is parent having pid has the identifier and second group is child having cid as the identifier

We want to calculate the sum of cids accross parent and child group (off-course at child level it would be the individual cid itself)



Implementation - so I have written the expression sum(Fields!cid.Value,"details") adjacent to column cdesc inside child group

After this I have written the expression sum(sum(Fields!cid.Value,"details"),"pdesc") adjacent to column pdesc inside parent group.

details and pdesc are the name of child and parent groups respectively.

The above scenario works fine in sql 2012 reporting services, however in sql 2005 we cannot implement sum of sum.



So as a workaround, try to implement this logic inside the sql query by adding group by clause,

I hope it is clear.


Have a safe life.

Thanks
Lokesh

SQL QUERY NIGHTMARE

-

Last week, we faced a basic and yet the only major problem that sql developers/admin had to deal with and yes your guess is right, It was with SQL QUERY RUNNING SLOW.  I will be explaining the problem below, however I want everyone reading this to help me find answers because I still haven't found one! One more amazing aspect of the issue was that it worked fairly quickly in Development but was running like a tortoise in Production even though the number of records were practically the same. I'll start by throwing some light on to the execution plan, so that we narrow down to the code which was the culprit here. The code is enclosed into a stored proc. On contacting my dba to enquire about the issue, I got the following replay:- I must hand it to our dba to provide such a detailed response.  So my job was now to look at the code and modify it. What I did was to shrink the calender table into a temp table consisting of few rows that would speed up the operation. Be...

Visual Studio Git Error | "terminal prompts disabled"

I was trying to sync our team's database project and was getting the below error git: 'credential-manager-core' is not a git command could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled One thing to call out here is that I had not synced the changes in the database project for over a month and there were no issues before.  My guess is that somehow the OWA authentication got wiped out from my system and this might be the reason for this issue.  In terms of the Solution I tried searching online on  terminal prompts disabled and got a plethora of solutions mostly suggesting some git commands. I tried a few of the suggestions and didn't get any luck. This morning I started searching for  git: 'credential-manager-core' is not a git command   and came across the following issue reported on Microsoft forums  Warning/error message when running git fetch within Visual Studio 2019 It basically suggests downloading/updating the latest versi...

Issues Integrating Azure Data Factory with GITHUB | IN spite of admin rights on repository

-

Although I have been aware of GitHub for quite a while but got a chance to use it as a repository in the project for storing artifacts only over the past few months.  We use GitHub as the sole cloud repo for storing SQL, Databricks, and Azure Data Factory artifacts.  Got an opportunity to set up GitHub with ADF right from scratch and all the excitement to learn more about GitHub took a back seat when I stumbled upon the following issue Problem Statement - You are an admin on a repo in GitHub and even then get a permission error while linking the ADF to GitHub Solution - After scratching my hairs and going on a searching spree on google for some days, I was able to figure out what needed to be done, however was not aware of how to implement it. Finally thanks to Microsoft for getting on a call and helping me resolve this issue. What needed to be done - Need to authorize AzureDataFactory service so that Github can communicate with it.  How it should be done -  Basicall...
