UPDATE J SET

WHERE C.[Name] = 'Report Server'

You can add the above script as a job step if the BI Load fails.

You can use the msdb.dbo.sp_start_job procedure to start the job. In SSIS create a new SQL task and run the job wherever required

exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'JobName'

For more information about sp_start_job please refer MSDN

Here is an example from AdventureWorks.

SQL script

SELECT
	pp.ProductLine,
	pp.ProductNumber,
	pp.Name ,
        pp.Class ,
        pp.Color ,
        pp.FinishedGoodsFlag ,
        pp.ListPrice ,
        pp.Style ,
        pd.Description AS [Description] ,
        psc.Name AS SubCategoryName ,
        pc.Name AS CategoryName
        FROM    Production.ProductDescription pd
        JOIN Production.ProductModelProductDescriptionCulture pmpdc
				ON pd.ProductDescriptionID = pmpdc.ProductDescriptionID
        JOIN Production.Product pp ON pp.ProductModelID = pmpdc.ProductModelID
        JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory psc
				 ON psc.ProductSubcategoryID = pp.ProductSubcategoryID
        JOIN Production.ProductCategory pc
				 ON pc.ProductCategoryID = psc.ProductCategoryID
        WHERE pmpdc.CultureID = 'en'
ORDER BY pp.Name

Report Layout

I have not included the Category and SubCategory field in the above report . Instead I have included this as ToolTip

a. Right Click on the ProductNumber Text box
b. TextBox Properties –> ToolTip

I added the following expression for Category and SubCategory

So when you hover over the ProductID, the end result is

You can do the same thing for large descriptive fields

Initially I got the following Solutions
1. Create a frontend app for the user to populate the values (the most common Global solution)
2. Ask the user to populate the values in an excel file with the columns in specific format so that I can use my SSIS to do the lookup with the original table and update/delete/insert based on the values.( But there are lot of things to consider when using excel like Problems with incorrect format of excel files and maintaining them.)

So when I was reviewing the Merge feature in TSQL 2008, an idea stuck in mind

The solution I ended up doing was

Creating a Reporting services Report that takes the values as parameter and use the MERGE statement to insert/update/delete the values in the backend table

Here is the Example of what I mean:

create table CricketRuns
(
PlayerID int identity(1,1),
PlayerName nvarchar(max),
Runs int,
Average float
)
go

insert into CricketRuns
select 'Sachin Tendulkar',17000,45.23
union
select 'Ricky Ponting',12000,41.08
union
select 'Kevin Peiterson',4000,46.00
union
select 'Chris Gayle',7000,34.87
union
select 'Jacques Kallis',11000,42.09
union
select 'Ross Taylor',2500,41.00
go
 

So the table looks like

I created this procedure using the Merge Statement that will insert / delete / update based on the players name

create procedure uspInsertRuns
	(
		@PlayerName nvarchar(max)
		,@Runs int
		,@Average float
		,@status nvarchar(100)
	)
		as
	Merge into CricketRuns as Target
	using
		(select @PlayerName,@Runs,@Average,@status) as source(Playername,runs,Average,Status)
	on
		(Target.Playername = source.PlayerName)
		when matched and Source.Status = 'D' then
		Delete
		when matched then
		update set runs = source.runs , Average = source.Average
		when not matched then
		insert (PlayerName,runs,Average)  values (source.PlayerName,source.runs,source.Average);

		select PlayerName,Runs,Average from CricketRuns order by PlayerID
 

So you can insert,delete or update as below

exec uspInsertRuns ‘Andrew Strauss’,2000,35,” –> Insert
exec uspInsertRuns ‘Virendar Shewag’,5000,37,” –> Insert
exec uspInsertRuns ‘Ross Taylor’,0,0,’D’ –> Delete
exec uspInsertRuns ‘Sachin Tendulkar’,20000,45,” –> Update

Just add the proc in a reporting services and expose it to the business user and thats it..A frontend using Reporting Services

So without any excel management or creating a .net frontend reporting services has done the job.

I also used the following TSQL to get list of objects in any database where the command text includes TableA.

DECLARE @tablename VARCHAR(100)
SET @tablename = ‘%tableA%’

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id) AS OBJECT ,TEXT,* FROM syscomments WHERE TEXT LIKE @Tablename

So far its good. But I found there are some TSQL written directly in the Reports Datasets(which I think is bad SSRS Development) and I cannot search them using the above two procedures.
Upon researching in the ReportServer database the TSQL that is stored in the datasets are embedded in the CommandText tag of contentcolumn in the Catalog table.

The following is the script that illustrates it.
DECLARE @tablename VARCHAR(100)

SELECT PATH
, NAME
, CAST(CAST(content AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) AS ReportXML
FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog
WHERE CAST(content AS VARBINARY(MAX)) LIKE @tablename

You can even update the reports using the ReportXML column which I will discuss about it the future blogs.
