Symptoms
When you run a SQL Server 2008 R2 report under the following scenarios, you may encounter an issue.
Scenario 1
-
The report uses a shared dataset. You specify collation, case-sensitivity, and other options for the dataset.
-
You set a filter in the dataset.
In this scenario, the report displays incorrect results.
Scenario 2
-
The report uses a dataset. You specify collation, case-sensitivity, and other options for the dataset.
-
You set a filter in the dataset.
-
You create a parameter that is bound to the dataset.
In this scenario, the parameter lists incorrect values for selection when you run the report.
For example, assume that you create a shared dataset that contains the following data.
|
Color |
ID |
|---|---|
|
Black |
1 |
|
black |
2 |
You set the case-sensitivity option for the dataset to false. Additionally, you set a filter that uses the following expression:
[Color] <> black
When you run a report that returns the shared dataset, the following data is displayed.
|
Color |
ID |
|---|---|
|
Black |
1 |
However, you expect the "black" row to also be displayed.
Cause
This issue occurs because the collation, case-sensitivity, and other options are not considered when SQL Server processes the filter of a shared dataset or the parameter of a filtered dataset. If a different filter or parameter is used, this may cause an error.
