Please forgive my post, as I am not a network tech, however I provide pc support to the city offices where I live and they are in need of help.
Physical box and pc's moved to a new location. All setup with proper cabling, etc. At first log on after the move all users to log on as normal, a day or two later, only the Administrator can log on and there is only one administrator profile.
Any duh quick fixes to check out, as this brings down 4 city offices.
With MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, is there a way to allow a user accessto only a few tables, but deny the user access to the rest without having togo to all of the tables and denying access? The database has roughly 50tables, but only 3 should be granted to the new user, so as you can see itwould be a painstaking task to manually do this with the *cough* mouse. Or,if I can run some sort of grant script, that would work too. Thank you!
i am aware that only sysadmin can send attachments using sp_send_dbmail. but the problem is, i don wan my application login to have sysadmin role and wan it to be able to send email with attachments using sp_send_dbmail. i'm using a stored procedure to call sp_send_dbmail, anyway can i impersonate sysadmin inside the stored procedure to execute sp_send_dbmail?
We have a payroll database that needs to be backed up just before completing the payroll for that period. I need to create a batch file that a normal user can run that will tell the database to back up and then tell the user when it is done so they can continue working. Is there an easy way to do this without giving the users special permissions? I don't want to give them backup op status. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a scheduled job backup/maintenance plan. In it I told it to delete all logs older than one day. Does that mean it delete logs for every job or just that job? I ask because for some reason all the logs on every job is being truncated down to one day.

I need to have an Application owner backup a SQL Server dbase after his updates. Im not that familiar with ISQL. He does not have EM installed on his machine. What minimum installments do I have to do on his machine for him to log into SQL Server, after I create a login for him ? Once in the command window I would give him the script of isql -Usa -Ppassword -SSqlServerA -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [test] TO DISK = N'E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBackupdbase1' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'test backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT"
In order to take automated backup of all user databases below is the query. This query will eliminate use of manual backups for user databases, in order to fully automate this just create a SQL Agent job and write this query in the job and forget about taking any manual DB backups.
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name SET @path = 'C:DB_BKPUP'
I wish to create a user that can backup any or all databases in our SQLServer 2000 Instance. I thought there would be a server role for thisfunction, however I can only find that after I grant access of adatabase to the user, then I can choose ds_backupoperator.I want to create a user that will have the ability to backup all thedatabases. I dont wish to have to come back to the server after a newtable is created and add the backup user to that table.I want SA w/o the full privilage...am I crazy?Any Suggestions?TIARobBackgroup: We currently have about 10 SQL servers, and adding more inthe future. I am using SQLBackup from Idera along with HP SurestoreTape library (60 slots,2- DLT8000 drives with 40/80 GB capacity) withArcServe from Computer Associates. I want to have this automated tobackup to file then tape, regardless of what databases get created.
This question came to me from a friend and I don't have a lot of details so I apologize in advance. I thought it might be worth a shot to ask here since I couldn't find anything on point in the MS help or KB. A SQL Server 7 database running on an NT 4.0 box is having a full database backup nightly. The backup routine is pretty standard, created using the Maintenance Wizard. It backs up two databases on the server. The problem is that when folks come into work in the AM, the databases are in Single-User mode and someone has to go in and change this. Is this normal behavior? My (admittedly limited) understanding of SQL 7 backups is that they are relatively transparent, and Single User mode is not necessary. You can operate normally other than you can't to any unlogged txn's while the backup is running. They have not done anything explicit to put the databases in Single-user mode when the backup begins. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? (Or how to automate the switch out of Single-user mode when the backup is completed?)
I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.
Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.
My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to. He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.
The users is using SQL Server authentication.
Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?
What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
I have a problem with databases that are left in single user mode after transaction log backup. I have a database maintenance plan job that backs up the transaction log and checks data and index linkage every hour. Sometimes the job fails and when I look in the report file it says that it has tred to put the database in single user mode and failed because the database is in use and then in the next step it says that it cannot perform the operation because there already is a user in the database.
Why is the database put in single user mode? What can I do to avoid finding my databases in single user mode?

Hello. I am trying to perform a backup and restore of a user's default database. the user- "myuser", was created with a default database. I have backed the user database and tried to restore it in different ways and I always get the same error when trying to connect with the user after restore:
"Cannot open user default database.Login failed (error 4064)".
It happens if I don't delete the user before restoring the database.
If I try to delete the user before restore and create it afterwards, when I try to set the default user database to the same database I get the error:
"user, group or role 'myuser' already exist in the database"
And when I try to delete the user from the restored database (in order to recreate it) I cannot, because the user's schema is connected to objects in the database.
Can anyone help?... How do I restore?? Thanx, Nili.
Hello all, I was just awarded the job of maintaing the database serverfor our company. I have basically ZERO experience using MS SQL Server2000. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good resource forcreating backups of our database? I would love something that comeswith a gui that really simplifies the process; seeing as how i havenever even opened the MS SQL program.Our database is fairly small we have 7 users with access to thedatabase. That is it.any advice or good resources would be greatly appreciated.
vendor did a full backup for his database and put some folder not being backed up by TSM, he is the owner of the database, and delete his backup later. The backup is not copy only, all the differential and log backups taken are based on his FULL backup. so they cannot be restored.
QUESTION: To prevent this happen in the future, what is the normal practices? or any way to prevent db_owner to do the ad-hoc full backup? I am thinking of using DENY backup database, or write a policy  claiming no responsibility if vendor make it happen again.
how can i setup an input field and SQL column to allow a user to enter something such as: '1+' into the field and the db? i get an error due to the '+'.
I created an UPDATE trigger on a table - but there one case where I would not the trigger to occur. I mean, in one procedure it may update this table and I would not the trigger to occur a update occurred because of this stored procedure. I could alter my trigger but I am not sure if I would be able to tell which procedure caused it without adding a special column, but if I have to I will.
I'm trying to set up SQL Server so that people with Enterprise Mgr can create a DB registration to their DB only (sql.yoursite.com). Are there any tutorials out there for doing this?
I installed full version of SqlServer 2005. Iam able to Connect to all the systems that are in Intranet. But iam not able to Connect to the external systems (or) remote Connections. I followed all the steps that are in the following URL support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 Still iam getting the problem. Show me a way in this issue.
I have written a windows service using VB.NET that connects to a database and performs several tasks. The service is working correctly and has been fully tested against SQL Server 2000. I have recently moved to SQL Server 2005 and now, the service will not connect to the database.
I have setup and tried several different users, but none work, I get the following message:
Login failed for user 'OEESYSTEMS'
The server instance, username and password I specify are all correct.
The service is running on the same server as SQL Server. I can connect through a web application, and through ODBC. The server is set to use SQL server and windows authentication, and is setup and successfully allows remote connections.
It looks like SQL server sees that a windows service is trying to connect and does not allow it.
For the love of god, can anyone help with this issue.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

I have recieved this error and i have changed the surface area configuration to allow remote connections but it still won't allow them after i start and restart the server service. is there any way to fix this i have reinstalled several times and that has not yet fixed the problem either.
I have a flat file that I'm reading from and loading my tables with. In that file I have a column that has numbers (2000,1999,1998 and so on) and the column that they are being loaded into is defined as an INT. The issue I'm running into is that the first 50 or so rows in the flat file is empty for this column so I'm getting an error message. If I put numbers in that column in the flat file it works, if i remove them it fails. How can I allow for NULL values for my INT column on the database table?
here is the error I'm getting:

this is the error message i get and i don't know how to correct it. i have tried going into surface area configuration and setting it allow remote connections but that hasn't changed anything. i am at a loss for how to correct this situation.
My users want to be able to enter nothing in a date field.
I'm using asp.net v2, vb.net, and VS 2005 for my application. I'm not sure what to do or what code to write to allow the user not to enter a date and keep from hitting the sqldatetime overflow error.
