Title: Track Aurora MySQL Procedure Performance
Author: user
in AWS Aurora mySQL, how can i see historically, how a specific procedure named usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup took to execute

Author: ChatGPT
To see the historical execution time of a specific stored procedure in AWS Aurora MySQL, such as `usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup`, you can use a combination of performance schema, query logs, and possibly a custom logging mechanism if detailed tracking is needed.

Here are several approaches to achieve this:

### 1. Enable and Query Performance Schema
The Performance Schema can help you track the execution of stored procedures. First, ensure that the Performance Schema is enabled.

1. **Enable Performance Schema (if not already enabled):**
    ```sql
    SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'performance_schema';
    ```

    If it is not enabled, you can enable it by modifying the parameter group associated with your Aurora instance and setting `performance_schema` to `1`.

2. **Query the Performance Schema:**
    ```sql
    SELECT EVENT_NAME, COUNT_STAR, SUM_TIMER_WAIT, AVG_TIMER_WAIT
    FROM performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_program
    WHERE OBJECT_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' AND OBJECT_NAME = 'usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup';
    ```

    This query will give you an aggregate view of how many times the procedure has been called, the total wait time, and the average wait time.

### 2. General Log and Slow Query Log
You can use the general log or the slow query log to track the execution times of stored procedures.

1. **Enable Slow Query Log:**
    ```sql
    SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
    SET GLOBAL long_query_time = 0;  -- Optional: set to 0 to log all queries
    ```

2. **Check the Log:**
    Aurora MySQL logs are typically stored in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. You can go to the CloudWatch Logs console and filter the logs to find the entries for your stored procedure.

### 3. Custom Logging within the Procedure
If you need more detailed or specific logging, you can add custom logging directly within the stored procedure.

1. **Modify the Procedure to Include Logging:**
    ```sql
    DELIMITER //
    CREATE PROCEDURE usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup()
    BEGIN
        DECLARE v_start_time TIMESTAMP;
        DECLARE v_end_time TIMESTAMP;

        SET v_start_time = NOW();

        -- Your procedure logic here

        SET v_end_time = NOW();
        INSERT INTO procedure_execution_log (procedure_name, start_time, end_time, duration)
        VALUES ('usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup', v_start_time, v_end_time, TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, v_start_time, v_end_time));
    END //
    DELIMITER ;
    ```

2. **Create the Logging Table:**
    ```sql
    CREATE TABLE procedure_execution_log (
        id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
        procedure_name VARCHAR(255),
        start_time TIMESTAMP,
        end_time TIMESTAMP,
        duration INT
    );
    ```

### 4. Use AWS Performance Insights
AWS Performance Insights can also be used to analyze the performance of queries and stored procedures over time.

1. **Enable Performance Insights:**
    Ensure Performance Insights is enabled for your Aurora instance.

2. **Access Performance Insights:**
    Go to the RDS console, select your Aurora instance, and navigate to Performance Insights. You can filter and analyze the performance data to see how long specific stored procedures took to execute.

By using these methods, you can track and analyze the execution times of the `usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup` stored procedure historically in AWS Aurora MySQL.

the AVG_TIMER_WAIT column appears to be in picoscends

Author: ChatGPT
You're correct. The `AVG_TIMER_WAIT` column in the Performance Schema is in picoseconds. To make this more readable, you can convert it to more familiar units such as milliseconds or seconds.

Here's how you can convert the `AVG_TIMER_WAIT` from picoseconds to milliseconds in your query:

```sql
SELECT 
    EVENT_NAME, 
    COUNT_STAR, 
    SUM_TIMER_WAIT / 1000000000000 AS total_wait_seconds,
    AVG_TIMER_WAIT / 1000000000 AS avg_wait_milliseconds
FROM 
    performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_program
WHERE 
    OBJECT_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' 
    AND OBJECT_NAME = 'usp_DBA_Emergency_Stalled_Deals_Cleanup';
```

### Explanation:
- **SUM_TIMER_WAIT / 1000000000000** converts the total wait time from picoseconds to seconds.
- **AVG_TIMER_WAIT / 1000000000** converts the average wait time from picoseconds to milliseconds.

This will give you a more human-readable output for the wait times.

in azure SQL database, how can i add a login with a password named 'Suyog Patil'for the ReportingDB and access to teh role 'bi_datareader'

Author: ChatGPT
To add a login with a password and grant access to a role in an Azure SQL Database, you can follow these steps. You need to create the login at the server level, create a user for the login in the specific database, and then add the user to the desired role.

Here's how you can do it:

1. **Connect to the master database and create a login:**
    ```sql
    -- Connect to the master database
    USE master;
    GO

    -- Create the login with password
    CREATE LOGIN [Suyog Patil] WITH PASSWORD = 'YourSecurePasswordHere';
    GO
    ```

2. **Connect to the ReportingDB and create a user for the login:**
    ```sql
    -- Connect to the ReportingDB
    USE ReportingDB;
    GO

    -- Create a user for the login
    CREATE USER [Suyog Patil] FOR LOGIN [Suyog Patil];
    GO
    ```

3. **Add the user to the `bi_datareader` role:**
    ```sql
    -- Add the user to the bi_datareader role
    ALTER ROLE bi_datareader ADD MEMBER [Suyog Patil];
    GO
    ```

### Full Script

Here is the complete script for creating the login, user, and adding the user to the role:

```sql
-- Connect to the master database
USE master;
GO

-- Create the login with password
CREATE LOGIN [Suyog Patil] WITH PASSWORD = 'YourSecurePasswordHere';
GO

-- Connect to the ReportingDB
USE ReportingDB;
GO

-- Create a user for the login
CREATE USER [Suyog Patil] FOR LOGIN [Suyog Patil];
GO

-- Add the user to the bi_datareader role
ALTER ROLE bi_datareader ADD MEMBER [Suyog Patil];
GO
```

### Notes
1. **Password Security**: Make sure the password you set complies with the Azure SQL Database password policy.
2. **Role Existence**: Ensure that the `bi_datareader` role exists in the `ReportingDB`. If it does not, you may need to create it or use an existing role.
3. **Permissions**: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create logins and users, and to alter roles.

Executing the above script will create a new login with the specified password, create a corresponding user in the `ReportingDB`, and add the user to the `bi_datareader` role.

excellent,a nd if i granted the user a default password, what tsql command would he need to change his password

Author: ChatGPT
If the user was granted a default password and needs to change it upon first login, the user can use the `ALTER LOGIN` command to change their password. The user will need to connect to the master database and then execute the command.

Here???s how the user `Suyog Patil` can change their password:

1. **Connect to the master database:**
    The user should connect to the Azure SQL Database using a tool like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), Azure Data Studio, or any other SQL client, and ensure they are connected to the master database.

2. **Execute the `ALTER LOGIN` command to change the password:**
    ```sql
    ALTER LOGIN [Suyog Patil] WITH PASSWORD = 'NewSecurePasswordHere' OLD_PASSWORD = 'CurrentDefaultPasswordHere';
    ```

### Example
Assume the current default password is `DefaultPassword123` and the new password the user wants to set is `NewSecurePassword456`.

```sql
ALTER LOGIN [Suyog Patil] WITH PASSWORD = 'NewSecurePassword456' OLD_PASSWORD = 'DefaultPassword123';
```

### Notes
- **Password Security**: The new password must comply with Azure SQL Database's password policy, which includes requirements for complexity, length, and characters.
- **Permissions**: The user must have the `ALTER LOGIN` permission to change their own password. This is usually the case for their own login.
- **Tool Support**: This command can be executed in any SQL client that can connect to Azure SQL Database, such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Azure Data Studio.

By following these steps, the user `Suyog Patil` can successfully change their default password to a new secure password.

how can i query which logins currently exist?

Author: ChatGPT
To query which logins currently exist in an Azure SQL Database, you can query the `sys.sql_logins` view in the `master` database. This view contains information about all the logins defined on the server.

Here is the query to list all the logins:

1. **Connect to the master database:**
    Ensure you are connected to the master database of your Azure SQL Database server.

2. **Execute the query:**
    ```sql
    SELECT name, create_date, modify_date, type_desc, is_disabled
    FROM sys.sql_logins;
    ```

### Example
```sql
USE master;
GO

SELECT name, create_date, modify_date, type_desc, is_disabled
FROM sys.sql_logins;
GO
```

### Explanation
- **name**: The name of the login.
- **create_date**: The date and time when the login was created.
- **modify_date**: The date and time when the login was last modified.
- **type_desc**: The description of the type of login (e.g., SQL_LOGIN).
- **is_disabled**: Indicates whether the login is disabled (1) or not (0).

### Notes
- **Permissions**: You need to have sufficient permissions to query the `sys.sql_logins` view, typically requiring the `VIEW ANY DEFINITION` permission on the server.

By executing the above query, you will get a list of all the logins currently defined on your Azure SQL Database server along with some relevant information about each login.

in ssrs how can i script a linked report via powershell

Author: ChatGPT
Scripting a linked report in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) using PowerShell involves using the SSRS SOAP API. Below is an example script that demonstrates how to create a linked report. 

### Prerequisites
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create linked reports in SSRS.
- You need to have the ReportService2010 endpoint URL. This URL is typically something like `http://<server>/reportserver/ReportService2010.asmx`.
- PowerShell 5.0 or higher is recommended.

### PowerShell Script

1. **Load the SSRS Web Service Proxy:**
    First, create a proxy to interact with the SSRS Web Service.

    ```powershell
    # Set the web service URL
    $ReportService2010Url = "http://<server>/reportserver/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl"

    # Create a web service proxy
    $ssrs = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri

i want to read the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog table for reports of type linked

Author: ChatGPT
To query the `ReportServer.dbo.Catalog` table to find reports of type "linked," you can use a SQL query to retrieve the necessary information. Linked reports have a specific type in the `Type` column of the `Catalog` table.

Here's the process to achieve this:

1. **Connect to the ReportServer Database:**
   Ensure you are connected to the `ReportServer` database where the SSRS metadata is stored.

2. **Execute the Query:**
   Use a SQL query to filter out the linked reports from the `Catalog` table.

### SQL Query to Find Linked Reports

```sql
USE ReportServer;
GO

SELECT 
    ItemID,
    Name,
    Path,
    CreatedByID,
    CreationDate,
    ModifiedByID,
    ModifiedDate
FROM 
    dbo.Catalog
WHERE 
    Type = 3; -- Type 3 corresponds to linked reports
```

### Explanation
- **ItemID**: The unique identifier for the report item.
- **Name**: The name of the linked report.
- **Path**: The path of the linked report in the report server.
- **CreatedByID**: The ID of the user who created the report.
- **CreationDate**: The date when the report was created.
- **ModifiedByID**: The ID of the user who last modified the report.
- **ModifiedDate**: The date when the report was last modified.
- **Type = 3**: This filter ensures that only linked reports are retrieved. In the `Catalog` table, `Type = 3` corresponds to linked reports.

### Example Query Execution
You can execute the above SQL query using any SQL client tool like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
2. Connect to the database engine hosting your ReportServer database.
3. Open a new query window.
4. Paste the SQL query into the query window.
5. Execute the query to retrieve the linked reports.

### Using PowerShell to Query the Catalog Table

If you want to use PowerShell to query the `Catalog` table, you can use the `Invoke-Sqlcmd` cmdlet:

```powershell
# Define the SQL Server instance and database
$serverInstance = "your_server_name"
$databaseName = "ReportServer"

# Define the SQL query
$query = @"
SELECT 
    ItemID,
    Name,
    Path,
    CreatedByID,
    CreationDate,
    ModifiedByID,
    ModifiedDate
FROM 
    dbo.Catalog
WHERE 
    Type = 3;
"@

# Execute the query
$results = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Database $databaseName -Query $query

# Display the results
$results
```

### Prerequisites for PowerShell Script
- Ensure you have the `SqlServer` module installed. If not, you can install it using:
  ```powershell
  Install-Module -Name SqlServer -AllowClobber -Force
  ```

By executing the above SQL query or PowerShell script, you will be able to retrieve the linked reports from the `ReportServer.dbo.Catalog` table.

what is the file extention that is typical for a linked report

Author: ChatGPT
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), a linked report does not have a specific file extension. Linked reports are not physical files stored on the file system; instead, they are entries in the SSRS database (specifically in the `Catalog` table) that reference another report. 

However, SSRS reports themselves typically use the `.rdl` file extension for Report Definition Language (RDL) files, which define the layout and query information for a report. When you create a linked report, it essentially creates a new report entry that points to an existing report (the original `.rdl` file) with potentially different parameter values and security settings.

### Identifying Linked Reports in the Catalog Table
Linked reports are identified in the `Catalog` table by their `Type` column, which has a value of `3` for linked reports.

Here???s a recap of the SQL query to identify linked reports:

```sql
USE ReportServer;
GO

SELECT 
    ItemID,
    Name,
    Path,
    CreatedByID,
    CreationDate,
    ModifiedByID,
    ModifiedDate
FROM 
    dbo.Catalog
WHERE 
    Type = 3; -- Type 3 corresponds to linked reports
```

### Summary
- **Linked Reports**: No specific file extension; they are entries in the SSRS database.
- **Report Files**: Use the `.rdl` file extension for Report Definition Language files.

Linked reports in SSRS are purely metadata entries that point to the original reports and do not have a standalone file representation on the file system.

i have a folder named "C:\_Data\ANCPWarRoom\SSRSProd\Compensation Reports - June Pay Period 2 Only" that full of ssrs reports  in subfolders. i need to deploy them to an ssrs instance. how can i do that

Author: ChatGPT
To deploy SSRS reports from a local directory to an SSRS instance, you can use PowerShell along with the SSRS web service API. The following PowerShell script will help you automate this process:

### Prerequisites
1. **SSRS Web Service URL**: Typically, `http://<server>/reportserver/ReportService2010.asmx`.
2. **PowerShell**: Ensure you have PowerShell 5.0 or higher installed.
3. **SSRS Tools**: Ensure that you have the necessary SSRS permissions to deploy reports.

### PowerShell Script to Deploy SSRS Reports

Here's a step-by-step PowerShell script to deploy reports:

1. **Define Parameters**: Set up parameters like the SSRS web service URL, the path to your reports, and the target folder on the SSRS server.

2. **Create a Function to Deploy Reports**: Use a function to upload the reports recursively.

3. **Deploy the Reports**: Call the function with appropriate parameters.

```powershell
# Define parameters
$ReportService2010Url = "http://<server>/reportserver/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl"
$ReportsPath = "C:\_Data\ANCPWarRoom\SSRSProd\Compensation Reports - June Pay Period 2 Only"
$TargetFolder = "/Compensation Reports - June Pay Period 2 Only"

# Load the SSRS Web Service Proxy
$ssrs = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $ReportService2010Url -UseDefaultCredential

# Function to deploy reports
function Deploy-Reports ($sourcePath, $targetFolder) {
    Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath -Recurse -File -Filter *.rdl | ForEach-Object {
        $filePath = $_.FullName
        $reportName = $_.Name
        $reportBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($filePath)

        # Create the report
        try {
            $ssrs.CreateCatalogItem("Report", $reportName, $targetFolder, $true, $reportBytes, $null)
            Write-Host "Successfully deployed report: $reportName to $targetFolder"
        } catch {
            Write-Host "Failed to deploy report: $reportName to $targetFolder. Error: $_"
        }
    }
}

# Deploy the reports
Deploy-Reports -sourcePath $ReportsPath -targetFolder $TargetFolder
```

### Explanation
1. **Parameters**:
   - `$ReportService2010Url`: The URL to your SSRS ReportService2010 web service.
   - `$ReportsPath`: The local directory containing your SSRS reports.
   - `$TargetFolder`: The target folder on the SSRS server where reports will be deployed.

2. **Loading SSRS Web Service Proxy**:
   - `New-WebServiceProxy`: Creates a proxy to interact with the SSRS web service.

3. **Function `Deploy-Reports`**:
   - **Get-ChildItem**: Recursively gets all `.rdl` files in the specified directory.
   - **[System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes**: Reads the report file as bytes.
   - **CreateCatalogItem**: Uploads the report to the specified SSRS folder.

4. **Error Handling**:
   - `try` and `catch` blocks are used to handle any errors during the report deployment process.

### Running the Script
- Save the script as a `.ps1` file, for example, `Deploy-SSRSReports.ps1`.
- Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the script:
  ```powershell
  .\Deploy-SSRSReports.ps1
  ```

This script will recursively deploy all SSRS report files (`.rdl`) from the specified local directory to the target folder on your SSRS server. Make sure to update the parameters with your specific SSRS server details and paths.
