ActiveX Scripting Transform 'AxScriptXform' Was Not Able To Initialize
Aug 16, 2006I was using the DTS Import/Export wizard and I went to edit the
vbscript that does the transformation. When I run the package I get an
error message --
ActiveX Scripting Transform 'AxScriptXform' was not able to initialize

ActiveX Scripting Was Not Able To Initialize The Script Execution Engine
Aug 9, 2005When I attempt to run my DTS Pkg that contains ActiveX task, I get following error:
"ActiveX Scripting was not able to initialize the script execution engine"
When I run this from another computer, it runs fine.
I have tried reregistrate DTS DLLs:
Regsvr32.exe "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinnaxscphst.dll"
Regsvr32.exe "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinndtspkg.dll"
Regsvr32.exe "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinndtspump.dll"
But it does not help.
I am worried the great site for DTS issues "http://www.sqldts.com " is down :-(
Any ideas ?
My System:
Windows Server 2003 + SP1
MS SQL Srrver 2000 + SP4
I will appreciate any thoughts you have!
Data Scripting Tool ( NOT DATABASE Scripting)
Mar 16, 2004Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

Run DTS In Safe Way.
Jul 23, 2005I have two servers: progress as transational server and mssql as warehouseserver.I did DTS that "pumps" data from progress to mssql (via ODBC). Copying thedata has to be done once a day, but sometimes there is a need to do it onuser's demand.I'd like to ensure that I properly understood the method of running DTS I'vejust found using Google.As I can see, there are at least two methods (except of scheduling):- using dtsrun - which requires user running the DTS to have adminprivileges to use xp_smdshell- using sp_start_job - which requires creating a job prior to running theDTS.I think of using the second one as it seems to be more secure - am I right?Are there any hidden traps? What else should I do?--PL(remove "nie.spamuj.bo.w.ryj" from my email address)
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow Safe Is RS?
Apr 8, 2008I am trying to persuade our security people to allow access to RS from external facing web sites. The web sites will talk to the SOAP interface over SSL so the firewall will need to open port 443 between the web server in the DMZ and the RS server inside the firewall.
Any credentials passed will be encrypted, so the main questions is around parameters to reports and the possibility of SQL Injection attacks. I need a white paper or other document that will convince them that RS will not allow SQL Injection or scripting attacks and properly validates parameters.
Does any such thing exist?

Safe Way To Cast
Nov 29, 2007I have a table that stores a value called "LocationNumber" as a varchar. I didn't create the database, I just use it. Anyway I usually sort the list by Casting the LocationNumber to an Integer. If I don't cast it, it trys to sort it lexiographically i.e. 0, 1, 21, 3, 345, 9 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 9, 21, 345.
It works 99.9% of the time, but the other 0.1% of the time it runs into some text that somehow made its way into the database field, and it causes an error.
Is there a way to safely cast a number in SQL? So that it just returns 0 when the value is not a number.
Safe Columns Names
May 28, 2004Hey,
I'm creating registration form.
To show fields names I thought to read columns names.
It's ok if columns is named like "Name", "Age" etc.
But if the columns is named [Country, Address, PostCode] then, I think, it can course some problems. Am I right?
First problem I thought about - changing database in the future (Now MS SQL 2k to MySQL etc.)
Is this the only problem?
To solve this I think using table which store syscolumn names as user defined columns names.
My system is speed critical and using this I would get less performance.
Which way should I go?
Case saving columns names in table, how to generate safe column name from user specified name, which can have special charters.
Thanks
Source Safe And SQL Server 7.0
Oct 11, 2000I'm in the process of locking down our SQL Server development environment and wanted to implement some type of version control, not just for stored procedures but for all database objects (tables, triggers, etc.)
A while back I read an article that explained how to utilize Visual Source Safe to establish version control for databases. If I recall correctly, I believe it had something to do with Visual Interdev and creating some project with Visual Interdev.
If anyone can provide alittle more insight into how to accomplish this, or at least point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
SQL-safe String Inserts
May 13, 2008We have a VB.Net 2005 application that uses SQL CE 3.1 as its embedded database.
Frequently in the application, we must store strings with apostrophes, quotes, and all kinds of other stuff. It's totally unwieldy to try and manually escape every nonstandard character in every string... this is why we need to know how to handle this issue for all possible input.
What is the best method we can use to store any string, no matter what characters occur in it? The reason we must now improve our string handling is that we are now being required to store MD5 hashes of files for security and duplicate file avoidance, and these hashes usually break our import functions.
We normally enclose strings in single quotes ('). But, with the hashes as mentioned above, none of our current code works. Again: how can we be certain that the exact string we pass in will be stored in its current form, no matter what the characters?

Safe For Image-Based Deployment
Apr 16, 2008My understanding is that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (unlike SQL Server 2008) is NOT safe for image-based deployments or at least is not officially supported. Is anyone aware of what tasks need to be performed if an image-based deployment approach is taken?
I have Windows and SQL Server installed on HostA, and I want to create an image and install a copy of the image to HostB, HostC, and so on.
When the image has been restored to the target machine, I do the following:
1. Run NewSID.exe
2. Change Host Name
3. Change IP Address
4. Change the SQL Server sysservers table via sp_addserver.
I noticed that the SQL Server installation program has created sevral Windows groups and SQL Server has several logins, users, and schemas with names associated with the source machine, HostA.
My question are: What are these accounts used for? Can or should they be renamed (this shouldn't affect the SIDS, right)? Is there anything else that requires changing? Can this be automated? What "gotchas" should I look for? Or is this simply not "doable"?
Any help/guidance is appreciated!

View 4 Replies View RelatedThread Safe Question On Insert
Sep 5, 2007Assume in a table, I have a table structure which contains parentID and childID.
In my procedure to insert a child for example, I begin a transaction, do a select statement see how many children for the given parentID, if is more than 10 then don't insert , otherwise insert the new child in. Then commit the transaction.
I wonder how thread safe such code would be... Quite worry about data corruption.
If 2 threads both updating this table, and the select statement both return 9 children, so both of them think they can do the insert, so the parent will end up with 11 children. Is such scenario possible to occur? If so, how to solve it and make sure the code is thread safe?
Hope someone can give me some suggestions..
Thank you
Is It Safe To Upgrade OS From 2000 To 2003 Without Testing???
Oct 6, 2005I have always upgraded the OS on test servers before upgrading on production. We are in the process of upgrading hardware for a production server and are considering installing Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition vs. what previously existed on the server, Windows 2000 Standard Edition. How much of a risk would this present? I'm leaning towards not changing the OS until we have a chance to upgrade the test servers first.

Visual Source Safe Admin Question
Jan 3, 2007Hi - I am wondering if anyone can give me good advice on the following situation:
I'm a new employee at a place where the SQL Server/Visual Source Safe admin has left. Only his co-worker has a VSS account and the VSS admin never gave her the admin p/w and he cannot be contacted. We need to have an account set up for me.
My question is: How can this be done with the knowledge of the admin p/w? Would we have to backup the files, un-install VSS, re-install it and set up the admin account again, or have I answered my own question? Or are we screwed? I don't have enough experience with VSS to make a decision.
At this point we're considering calling "Geek Sqaud" or "Geeks on Call", etc.
Thanks for any suggestions?
Setting Up SQL Server 2005 With Source Safe
Jul 17, 2006My manager has asked me to install and configure Source Safe so that our team can check out stored procedures, (and other objects), and check them back in when we are finished working on them.
I'm not familiar with Visual Source Safe. Does SQL Server 2005 work with Visual Source Safe in such a way that I can check out/in SQL Server objects such as procedures?
If someone knows the answer, or perhaps an existing thread that covers this, please let me know.

Is It Safe To Use Volume Mount Points With SQL 2005?
Jul 20, 2006Hello,
To implement the new SQL 2005, I plan to make the environment easy to manage. The environment should be simple to document and be automated via scripts. Therefore I plan to use mount points as described below.
On a typical SQL server with multiple drives like C, D, E, F, G, H. Where each drive will have various folders to hold SQL code, data files, transaction log files, tempdb files, snapshot files, and other types of files. This typical environment is not pretty and is hard to write scripts for.
So I plan to standardize on one standard directory structure via volume mount point. On all new SQL 2005 servers, we should see drive E as the one and only SQL Server directory. Other drives will be mounted to drive E as shown.
E:
SQLSERVER local folder -sql code for each db instance
SQLSHARED local folder -sql shared tools for all db instances
SQLTLOG1 Drive H -db transaction log
SQLSNAP1 Drive F -db snapshot files
SQLTEMPDB1 Drive H -tempdb main data file
SQLWORK Drive D - DBA work area
SQLDATA1 Drive G -db data files
SQLDATA2 Future Drive -if SQLDATA1 is too large for any direct attached drive, or to get more I/O throughput.
With this implementation, I can easily write scripts to manage the environment. Also if any mounted volume is out of space, we can swap the based drive without doing any change to database configuration. We can also switch from direct attached drive to SAN in the future.
Do you think mount point is safe to use with SQL 2005? I know it is supported.
Do you have a standard directory structure for your environment? How do you do it?
Thanks,
KTMD

Using Stored Procedures Are You Safe From Sql Injection If Your Not Using Dynamic Queries ?
Mar 12, 2008Im reviewing my stored procedures for a new application and got to thinking about protecting against sql injection. I think im pretty safe since im using stored procedures and none of them use any 'exec' commands within them, but im not sure.
I was reading this article, and again all the examples that list a stored procedure, have an 'exec' command somewhere that is the culprit. So, in my case lets say I was doing something like this:
Im generally using regularexpression validation controls on the client side of the application and limiting the max length of the input there as well.
Am I safe, or do I need further input checking within the procedure ?
