Creating objects on SSMS and merging with VS project

Next let's create a function in SSMS. Then we can see how to incorporate that into the SSDT project.

This changes a date string into the format of our DateSIDs.

To pull this into the VS project, click on Tools > SQL Server > New Schema Comparison.

We use the database on SQL server as the source, and we happen to already have that as a connection.

Select the connection, and click OK.

For the target, we can use the SSDT Project.

And click on OK.

Now the Compare button above the source is active. We can click that and see what happens. We can see the list of differences between the source and target. You can turn off the items to not make changes to by clearing checks from the boxes. To actually make the changes, we click on the Update button.

We confirm we want the changes made. Then we can drill into the project in solution explorer, and see that the dbo schema now has a function.

OK, now let's go the other direction and push changes to the database. We create a dapac file for our project by right-click on the solution's name, then click Build.

Then we can right-click on the solution's name, and select Publish. We need to select a target database. For now, I'm just reusing the same database, but it could go to a different SQL server for testing.

Now we can click on publish, and all the new items are placed into the SSMS database.

It's one way to keep everything in sync and stored.

I am very pleased to announce my first book, DRILL. This body of work was the recipient of a photobook award by @booooooom . Thank you for believing in the project and the opportunity to publish this work.

This work is a celebration of the South Shore Drill Team, a non-profit organization based in Chicago that uses performance art to empower the youth. In 2020, the SSDT halted their performance due to Covid-19 pandemic, and for the first time in 35 years , the team could not perform at the Bud Billiken Parade. The restrictions also interrupted the close knit community and bonds that developed on the team. As restrictions eased in 2021, I was introduced to the team and spent the year documenting the team’s preparation for their much-anticipated return to the parade. The time spent with them has since culminated in my most recent project, DRILL. Incredible proud of the work and thankful for the team.

my hackintosh journey

formatting usb's to a gpt partition without gibmacOS's python script (only on windows with the bat cmd launcher script) was a pain for about a day or two and I wasn't aware it existed until I found it and it's still broken write to usb command is unavailable because the download server is off so writing the OS dmg images required transmac and that's if you can even find a proper installer. I also realized I was copying the ventura mac installer incorrectly to the drive then figured I should just boot efi's in a seperate usb drive to solve partitioning or read/write issues. My config.plist file had many things inaccurate and proper tree manager and ocat auxilary tools don't come with manuals. After finding a proper coffee-lake efi without any model identifiers, I used OCAT to generate an SMBIOS of iMac 19,1 and proper tree to edit some values like securebootmodel to disabled and enablewriteunprotector to true then rebuilt it, saved and pasted some prebuilt ACPI SSDTs then rebuilt the config file again. This is all after the original high sierra install which needed a proper clover EFI so I had used the one I found from AIO Clover Boot method's img file off an abandoned blog. Once I had High Sierra running I used a script from tonymacx86 to install web drivers for the OS but it broke for some reason after many reboots of the ventura installer. So I had to then update the OS and then installed the original web driver from nvidia. After that installation, you are required to use opencore's legacy patcher to build the new OS usb or off the app store with the dd to usb terminal command but opencore's method is easier. My take is... If you want to be able to run mac OS X on a PC just buy one. KVM's on Qemu with linux using Sosumi are outdated, they don't support usb passthrough correctly if you don't have the USB Kext installed for your mobo or Qemu updated and set up with virt-manager which is some other nonsense of it's own. The whole thing is a mess all over the internet without any proper guide to complete it all in 2023. That's even after you figure you can run the legacy patcher's root patch for GPUs - says it runs on ventura but I didn't test it and without metal app support.. and you still need to know the secret boot arguments for your GPU if it's not AMD based and you'll likely get some Invalid X symbol at the second boot for not disabling system integrity protection while rooting or not copying over the EFI bc I don't even know how to safe boot to a hackintosh for turning off SIP if it doesn't boot in the first place. I will stay on Windows 10 and keep my High Sierra installation though because old software is kinda neat, less broken, and faster than whatever is out in the wild. Manjaro Linux running gnome on the other hand, or Fedora are really good for running servers without needing windows license keys and it's probably why sysadmins like linux so much tho the other software on it mostly sucks and so without maiOSX running on edge and all the web apps it's toast and the safari developer thingy on iOS doesn't work on high sierra unless you update iTunes probably which is a security update of 2gb that will break the GPU again.. it's just awful how de-constructing updates and things are on all those mac OSes are. ventura looked neat though but, too grey for me. not dark enough.

How to Create Custom Functions with the SSRS Split Function

Introduction

Delivering intelligent reports in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) requires the ability to change and show data efficiently. The SSRS Split Function is a potent tool for accomplishing this. You can write your own custom functions to divide texts based on a delimiter even if SSRS does not come with a built-in split function as some computer languages do. You can use the SSRS Split Function to create and use custom functions by following the steps outlined in this article.

Comprehending the Split Function of SSRS

You can split a string into many sections using the SSRS Split Function by providing a delimiter. When working with data that has concatenated values, like lists of names, categories, or other delimited data, this is quite helpful. By dividing you can communicate these beliefs in a way that is more orderly and understandable.

A Comprehensive Guide for Developing Custom Functions

Step 1: access your SSRS report.

Open the SSRS report you already have open or create a new one using Report Builder or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

Step 2: Open the Properties of the Report

Use the right-click menu to select the report body or any blank place inside the report design area.

From the context menu, choose Report Properties.

Step 3: Go to the Section with the Code

Pick the Code tab in the Report Properties box. You can create your own custom code functions here.

Write the Custom Split Function in Step Four.

For your custom split function, enter the following VB.NET code in the Code window:

vb Copy public function code DivideString(input_ByVal as String, delimiter_ByVal as String) as String()

If input is String.IsNullOrEmpty, then return New String() {}

Close If: Return input.Split(StringSplitOptions.None, New String() {delimiter})

Final Operation

The input string and the delimiter are the two parameters required by this function. If the supplied string is null or empty, it checks for it and returns an empty array. If not, it divides the string according to the designated delimiter.

Step 5: Utilizing Your Report's Custom Split Function

You can utilize the custom function in your report expressions now that you've developed it.

For instance, you can use the split method as follows if you have a field called FullNames with values like "John Doe, Jane Smith, Mark Johnson":

Include a fresh textbox in your report where you like to see the list's first name displayed.

Put this in the textbox expression:

vb

Copy the code (Code).SplitString(",")(0), Fields!FullNames.Value

The first name is obtained from the split string using this expression.

Step 6: Presenting Several Values

You can use the split function in conjunction with a List control to display all names in a list format. Here's how to do it:

In your report, drag a List control.

Choose your dataset as the List control's data source.

Include a textbox in the List control.

Set the textbox's expression to:

vb

Copy the code (Code).Fields!FullNames.Value, ",")(RowNumber(Nothing) - 1) SplitString

Based on the row number, each name in the list will be displayed as a result.

Top Techniques

Performance Considerations: Use caution while utilizing functions that manipulate strings particularly when working with big datasets. Optimizing the data via SQL preprocessing can improve performance.

Testing Make sure your custom function can handle a variety of instances, such empty strings or uncommon delimiters, by thoroughly testing it with a range of input conditions.

Documentation: If you intend to share the report with other developers or report users, be sure to include documentation about your custom functions in the report for future reference.

Summary

Using the SSRS Split Function to create custom functions is a great method to improve your reporting capabilities. Data can be presented more dynamically and clearly by dividing strings based on a delimiter. The quality and usability of your SSRS reports will be much enhanced by learning this technique, regardless of whether you are working with names, categories, or other concatenated data. Through exploration and practice, you may make the most of the SSRS Split Function to produce reports that are both informative and easy to use.

Setting References, Adding constraints

We need to set up some items so that eventually this project will actually run. First off, we need to set up a reference to an existing server where the project will be exported when we're finished.

Under the Solution's name, there is a entry for References. Right-click on that, then select Database References. Change the database reference type to System Database, and select the master database.

Just to be fair, I had trouble with adding the default as below. I kept getting an error SLQ17501, meaning the editor was unable to find the referred to item.

There is an equivalent of SSMS' Crtl+Shift+R, which in the Project menu then Reanalyze Project. And that didn't work. It's supposed to take a little bit like the refresh of the table data into IntelliSense does in SSMS, so I waited. Hours.

Then I deleted the offending item and tried to add it again. Still there.

Then deleted the entire project and started over. At that point, in the error listing, I noticed the project was set for "Build + Intellisense". Clicking the other options confirmed that the problem was in IntelliSense, not the Build.

Next day, I started off with a new and smaller build and planned on using VS to report the issue to Microsoft. And it never came back. Anywhere. Computer Science is in the next classroom, this is working with software, which is a whole different beast. End interruption.

The source table has the one constraint already, which is the clustered primary key. "Clustered" means that the data will be put in the specified order onto the drive. Primary keys have to be non-null and unique, and are often what is used as a foreign key in another table.

This is a table of dates, and there's already date functions and tools built in to SQL. Why add more? Mostly so that we have a simple table to join on for long calculations. You can figure out if a given day is a weekend by looking at the DatePart() function with the first parameter set to DW. But is it a holiday? That is a bit harder to work out. This table does the calculations so they don't have to be repeated endlessly.

First off, let's set the FederalHolidayFlag to default to the character 'N'. We do the right-click on the solution's name, then Add, then New Item. Under Tables and Views we can select a Default Constraint. And it wants a name again.

And VS is helping where it can.

There's a related Check Constraint. Everybody is going to have opinions about where each of the files should be one single step, or if all the related steps should stay together. Make a choice that appeals to you, and realize unless you're the project manager it doesn't matter. I want the practice using the different templates.

The blue squiggle is error SQL70588 - since there's already a data enforcement check on that column, the WITH CHECK part of the statement will be ignored. I'm making a note that the Test Suite needs to look at that.

Document it. Always. Or you will forget.

Why use 'Y' and 'N'? One byte is the smallest column size. The boolean columns do only take up one bit in some byte, but unless you have a lot of booleans (8 or more), it's not much of a savings in space and a tad more work in CPU - probably breaks even in the long run. We could have used 0 and 1 in a tinyint column. It was an aesthetic choice on the part of the Data Architect team.

There are a bunch more constraints we could put in. Which ones matter to you?
