    Hi
    I need to create Dynamic Reports at Runtime using Reporting Services
    Reason being, I used sun query so I don't know which columns I may need so there are many possibilities in the columns and data that I need to display.
    In fact i need to use * in order get all columns but i dont have any idea how can i bind data to columns in my Reporting services project Because coloumn count and name are created dynamically.
    How can i show the result of select staetment with * for examle
    Thanx in advance

    If you see that its a hard core requirement then you can report in MS connect site at http://connect.microsoft.com and ask to include in next release of SQL.

    I dont think any reporting service would allow it. It is not at all possible to make field alignments in advance and also not possible to make calculations without knowing the actual column names

    Hi Madhivanan,
    I dont agree with you. Coz reporting service pages are rendered at server and coloum names can be predicted easily at run time.

    I'm with both of you, theoritically it is possible but practically it must be provisioned from core database engine to SSRS. Hence my response to post the suggestion to connect site to see if MSFT folks are up for it [:)]

    ,.... well can't say that, every possibility comes with a price [;)].. keep in mind.
    Hope you update your wish on Connect site, before post make sure to search there so that you can vote for it instead of duplicating the same.

    Hi,
    I wrote it Connect site before posting it i had a big research through internet.
    I hope next release of SQL server will solve it :)
