Change data source for mutiple datasets at once

Hi All,

In the BI development studio when I have to change the data source for data sets within a report, I have to go to each of the datasets individually to do this. Is there a quicker way to do this. Say I want to change data source for the entire report in BI dev studio.

thanks

Use shared data sources across the reports.

Then you will only have to change the data in the data source and not the datasets.

This will automatically be reflected in the IDE.

Obviously this will not be updated on the report server until you redeploy, be aware of the project based setting "OverwriteDataSources" when deploying!|||

thanks Adolf , that helped.

Chaching Sqldatasource datasets... can it be done? and a performance question.

I'm using visual basic coded datasets right now, and caching them, so as all of my web app users access the cache once the first person's gone to my site and initiallized the page.

If Cache("ds_cache")IsNothingThenDim dsAsNew DataSet

blah blah code blah blah blah

Cache.Insert("ds_cache", ds)EndIf

What I was wondering is, if it's possible to cache the datasets that get created and are used by Sqldatasources. Or if by chance caching is automatically done and controlled for these datasets, as it's the server that makes and handles them.

The reason I wonder about this because I'm not sure how you go about referencing one of those datasets, because you can't give them a name/id. And I've not found mention anywhere of you being able to do so.

The real point or question I'm trying to get at is to see which performs better , or uses less requests back to the server for the data as a lot of my data will be repeatedly used by all of my users and so I'd like to save myself from using as many repeated connections as possibles in regards to using a typed dataset versus filling my controls from a sqldatasource?

Thank you in advance for your response.

You know what, I pretty much found my answer:

The question still remains of if a sqldatasource would outperform a typed dataset?

It makes you wonder, as a typed dataset you don't have to worry about time spent on conversions, etc. but you would think that server built and controlled dataset might perform better, or atleast it would probably build faster when it's first created... please do reply if you have insight.

CE 3.5, VS 2008, Typed Dataset: Get the updated identity of inserted row

Hello,

Using VS 2008 Beta 2, SQL CE 3.5, on desktop, and Typed Datasets: The INSERT command of dataset table adapter does not return the updated identity of inserted row. Why?

also every time I want to modify the insert command to return the updated identity of inserted row, i get the error: "Unable to parse query text."

(Should I post this in Orcas forum?!)

Regards,

Parham.

In order to get the last inserted identity, execute: SELECT @.@.IDENTITY against the same still open connection that executed the INSERT statement. You can only run a single statement in a command against SQL Compact (that's probably why you get the error)

Tahnks Erick.

This means that if i have inserted some rows into the table and then updated the table to database with the Update command of my Table Adapter, I should REFILL the table to getback the updated identities of the inserted rows?!

Parham.

This might help you: http://groups.google.dk/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet/browse_thread/thread/3422d5f0774d605f/34a537895803c758?lnk=st&q=dataset+sql+ce+identity+last+inserted&rnum=1&hl=en#

Alternatively you could use uniqueidentifier columns instead, with a new value of Guid.NewGuid() (set in your code, so you will know the value)

I will do some tetsing later today and revert if there are other options.
