I'm running SQL 2008 R2. I added 3 columns to an existing table. There was not any problem. Then I opened the table to edit with right click ("edit top 200 rows"). When I write a value to the new added columns, it says invalid column name. I cleared the cache of Intellisense, but still the same error.
Try refreshing Tables on the ObjectExplorer, just press F5 to refresh and try again. Also you could refresh only the affected table.

I have created a crystal report with datasets(xsd) , it is working fine. Then i added a new field in xsd and when i open the field explorer it do not show that field, i added source again through database expert but still it is not showing that field. Any other person faced such issue then please help.
After waiting a lot for right answer and searching on internet i tried different options by myself and the problem was solved by right clicking on database fields and then click on verify database. If some one have some better option then please suggest.
I had the same problem and resolved it by adding parameter input and running the report from the designer. Crystal report popped up and said that it was fixing the report and refreshed the connection to the database for the most current fields.
I had a similar easy where Log on or Log off server and Verify Database wouldn't update the database fields list in Crystal Reports. The only thing that worked for me was to physically move the typed dataset to a different location. After creating a new connection within Set Datasource Location I updated the datasource and there it was....
Sap Crystal report has a problem while refreshing database changes to crystal report. I found this solution and it works like a charm:
First go to refresh data base option and then it will ask you to enter parameter values to the stored procedure
then without passing any values just press escape button it will suddenly ask you to confirm the changes made to database when you do it on second time it will say database is up to date
Don't forget to rebuild your solutions before validate your database.
Restarting the Machine did the trick for me.
Some data types in dataset can't show in crystal reports try to change data types ( example don't use System.DateTimeOffset use datetime only)

If your DataSet (.xsd) came by "Add Existing File" and not create one, then you will encounter a problem like mine. to fix this:
-Find the DatasetName.xsd file and all of its name-like file . Copy it EXCEPT THE DESIGNER (DatasetName.Designer.cs) and paste it somewher, you will re-paste it later
-In your VS. Delete the DataSet (xsd File) in your project by right click it in your Solution Explorer. This will delete any traces of file.
-Re-paste the files that you copied in the same location. Then in VS. And add the xsd file that you re-paste.
-Then you can now add columns. And it will update the DataSet, and also the Crystal Report will see the updated column
Reason: For i-dont-know-what-the-heck-happened, if you include the designer file then add it in you project, then you add columns to it, the VS will create new designer.cs file instead of overwriting the existing file. So the column registers only in original but the newly created one only recognized as valid (which is no traces of new added column)
You can press F5 to see preview, if crystal report find out new fields it will verify all field in database, and your new fields will appear.
Hope this will help you!
Log off from server, then verify database, that did the trick for me!
By just updating the entire datasource location did not work for me. I had to expand the source location and then update the individual table. Hope this helps someone.
Right click REPORTDATASET then select Set Datasource Location.
click database files and select your existing *.xsd. then you will see REPORTDATASET.
select it.
update
close
Now you will be seeing the new fields in your *.rpt :)
I use the following technique:
Select datadese expert in crystal report
Select previous added datatable.
Press "<<" to remove it from reporting, its related columns are removed from report automatically.
Then select Project Data>>ADO .Net DataSets>> your updated dataset
Press ">>" to add and click the OK button.
New added field also shows in dataBase fields and then added in report.
I have a Crystal Report I'm working on; last week it was returning results but when I fired it up this morning I was no longer getting anything. Checking the SQL query, I show that the table name is listed twice, for some reason:
SELECT "WMS_TESTINFO"."RECORD_NAME"
FROM "TestEnv"."dbo"."WMS_TESTINFO" "WMS_TESTINFO"
Any thoughts on what could have broken? I've checked that the database is connected and my data is still there.
The table name is listed twice as Crystal Reports creates an alias for every table.
This Crystal generated SQL:
FROM "TestEnv"."dbo"."WMS_TESTINFO" "WMS_TESTINFO"
Is in the format of:
FROM DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME ALIAS
This is normal for Crystal.
I would run that SQL in SSMS (remembering to remove all of the " first) to check that the data really is still there.
If it is, check that a filter hasn't been added to the report, via the Select Expert menu opton, to filter out all the data.
Lastly, go to Database > Set Datasource Location and re-apply the connection to ensure that the report is definitely pointing at the right location.
Is there any alternative way to copy the data from Excel sheet and paste it into a table using Oracle SQL Developer!?
For now I am using (PL/SQL Developer) by writing (for update) at the end of the select statement, Ex:
Select * from ABD
for update
Then paste the columns from Excel to the table...
Regards
Adel
It's not exactly copy and paste but you can import data from Excel using Oracle SQL Developer.
Navigate to the table you want to import the data into and click on the Data tab.
After clicking on the data tab you should notice a drop down that says Actions...
Click Actions... and select the bottom option Import Data...
Then just follow the wizard to select the correct sheet, and columns that you want to import.
EDIT : To view the data tab :
Select the SCHEMA where your table is created.(Choose from the Connections tab on the left pane).
Right click on the SCHEMA and choose SCHEMA BROWSER.
Select your table from the list (by giving your schema).
Now you will see the DATA tab.
Click on Actions and Import Data...
None of these options show up for me. The way to paste data from Excel is as follows:
Add an extra column to the left of your spreadsheet data (if you
don't have row numbers showing in PL/SQL Developer you may not have
to have an extra empty column to the left).
Copy the rows of data from your spreadsheet including the empty
column.
In PL/SQL Developer, open your table in edit mode. You can
right-click the table name in the object browser and select Edit Data
or write your own select statement that includes the rowid and click
the lock icon. Be sure your columns are ordered the same as in your
spreadsheet.
Here's the part that took me forever to figure out: click on the left
side of the first empty row to highlight it. It will not work if you
don't have the first empty row highlighted.
Paste as usual using Ctrl+V or right-click Paste.
I couldn't find this info anywhere when I needed it, so I wanted to be sure to post it.
You may directly right-click on the table name - that also shows the "Import Data.." option.Then you can follow few simple steps & succeed.
Do anyone know how to import a new table with data from excel?
Click on "Tables" in "Connections" window, choose "Import data ...", follow the wizard and you will be asked for name for new table.
For PLSQL version 9.0.0.1601
From the context menu of the Table, choose "Edit Data"
Insert or edit the data

I'm working with SSRS for the first time. When adding a table to a report, is there any way to add all fields of a dataset to it at once or does it have to be done individually? Drag & drop, insert column -> right is a pain when there are a lot of fields that are being displayed.
It's a bit of a workaround, but the "Add new report" wizard automatically creates a table with the specified columns and groups from your given dataset. I don't believe there's a way to trigger this functionality from within an existing report, but you could create a "sacrificial" report to get what you're looking for - run through the wizard, generate the table, and copy / paste it into your original report. As long as your datasets are the same, it should work just fine...
Hope this helps.
I have a similar problem as the op and am new to SSRS/BIDS. And, I am updating a previously created report which (for me) is too complex to just quickly re-create using the "wizard generation" as the datasource is a web service (with code-generated web service parameters, lots of calc'd datasource fields, etc). It is faster to just copy the .rdl, delete all, and create the table manually.
I thought I would add that (only a little better than op's method, but nonetheless it is time-saving) you can just drag and drop to populate columns w/o the "right click > insert column > right". Just drag the dataset field to the place you want it in the table and BIDS/SSRS will automatically insert a new column. It also helps to drag the latter columns first (i.e. always inserting a previous column) so you don't have to scroll to the right all the time.
I was looking for the similar thing and I have figured this out. Open your report in Report Builder 3.0 which is a free BI tool by Microsoft. Go to Insert > Table wizzard. Then just follow the wizard steps to generate auto columns. Save and reopen the file in your visual studio, file will refresh itself.

#Kevin Fisher actually there is no need a workaround. There is way to do this out of the box of Report Builder 3. Open your existing favorite report template. on the tool bar, click on INSERT tab, look for TABLE icon, click on the down-ward arrow at the bottom of the TABLE icon, then choose TABLE WIZARD. Then I guess you know what to do from here. -hope this help.
I agree that there is no way to bring all of the columns over from the data set to a table easily. But I came up with a method that helped me:
Insert a blank table (this usually gives you 3 columns). Then insert columns to the right of the table (right click, Insert Column, To the Right), as many times as you need in order for it to equal the number of columns in your data set.
Once you have all the blank columns created in your table, click inside a table cell box and use the drop-down to select the field. This has the added benefit of allowing you to get the fields in the correct order, since I've noticed that the field names in the dataset don't always appear in the same order as the SQL stored proc output.
I added 2 additional databases to my report(Emp and Unemp). I verified all the links and they were correct. The problem is "when I add the new fields (from the new databases) to the report, all of the fields in my report disappear." This disappearing occurs in while in preview. Also, when I remove the newly added fields all of the fields in the report reappear. Can someone please help?
So, you had a working Crystal Report that originally pulled from 1 table. Then you added 2 new tables and all your records disappear. Are you sure that the new tables (Emp and Unemp) are populated? Are they joined correctly to your main table?
Just because Crystal tries to auto-link tables for you when you add them doesn't mean you should trust it to do the job correctly. It might have added some extra joins that don't belong there.
Check your joins and record selection criteria. Something there is causing zero records to be pulled (look at lower right portion of window for Records Read).
You might also do a Database, Verify Database to verify the database is "synced" with the report.
