Securing Production Environment
Feb 18, 2008Hi,
I want to make some steps towards securing production database.
1. Give limited rights to Developers, i.e. db reaonly, db writedeny
2. Make strong password for local and Domain
3. Use Windows authentication
4. Enable log for 'Failed Login' attempts.
What steps I need to take in addition to those?

Not Returning Results In Production Environment
Oct 7, 2015I have this script that captures metrics and sizes using T-SQL. When running in development I have no issues. I can run under the context of any database and get results back. When deploying to production servers no results are returning. I'm trying to figure out what permissions are needed for this to return results.
No error message is being returned either. My access is limited for triage against Production? I need to be able to have Production DBA set the right permissions so this job can run correctly.

Install SQL2000 And SQL2005 In Production Environment?
Dec 2, 2005Hi,
Is it possible to deploy both SQL2000 and SQL2005 on the same server in the production environment?
Is it recommended? Next year we will be deploying a SQL2005 solution and was wondering if we could get away with installing it on the same server as the SQL2000 server, or whether we should put it on another server.
We have up to a maximum of 50 concurrent users.
Thanks.

How To Copy A Database From Production To Training Environment
Oct 21, 2015Our DBA is out for about 6 weeks. One of his regular jobs is to take a Database that is in our Prod environment and copy it to our Training environment.
I have backed up and restored to different servers before, however the Database name in Prod is different than in the Train environment in this case.
In other words I have a PROD database named DATABASE-XX that I want to copy to another SQL server and restore it to DATABASE-XX-TRAIN.
Is there anything special I need to do, other than backup on PROD, copy to TRAIN and restore to the corresponding DB in TRAIN?

Is It Necessary To Have A Clustered Test Environment To Support A Production Cluster?
Nov 27, 2007We will be implementing our first SQL cluster in December. Our current plan calls for a shared development/test database server with one physical server, but two SQL Server instances. Our production environment will be a SQL cluster. Is it necessary to create a clustered test environment for testing patches, hot-fixes, etc...?

Turning Off Parent-child Relationships (one-to-many) Off In Production Environment Is Beneficial?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: Setting Up Transaction Replication In Test Environment From Production
Mar 3, 2015Setting up Transaction Replication in test environment. I am willing to bet that most of you take a production backup (if so, how, and using what?), restoring the database to your test environment, then running a snapshot to your subscriber and away you go.
But perhaps you take a backup of your publisher and subscriber, if so, how do you know there are no inconsistences because there were transactions sitting on the distributor?
What do you do if you have additional indexes on the subscriber for reporting, that are not on the publisher?
Here at work we are having issues with getting consistent databases set up with T Rep, missing rows, duplicate keys at subscriber etc. How to avoid these issues.
SQL Server Express In A Lab Environment
Aug 18, 2005I'd like to allow students in a lab to use the Express Manager and T-SQL to create their own databases. I think I've figured out just about everything - but the last step. Here's my thinking on how to do this:
1. Students are power users, not local admin
2. Created a login for the builtinpower users group as follows:
create login [BUILTINPower Users] from windows with default_database=[master]
go
exec master..sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'BUILTINPower Users', @rolename = N'dbcreator'
go
3. Now students can start the Express Manager and connect to:
localhostsqlexpress using Windows Authentication
4. After they do, they can open and run a script creating a database and populating it with tables and records.
5. All good up to here... but when trying to access the new database using VB Express (file based, not a remote connection) access is denied.
The problem is in the NTFS file permissions being assigned to the new database mdf and ldf files. Local administrators and the builtin Network Service accounts have permissions, but the student who created the database gets nothing... So the student is denied access to the mdf and ldf files when trying to make a connection to them using VB Express.
I can go in with a different account having admin privileges are assign privileges to power users for the mdf/ldf files after they're created but this isn't what I need (students need to work whenever they want without waiting for an admin to fix the file permissions).
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong? If I have to I can insist on students always using VS 2005 instead of VB Express and use connections to a remote database (no problems doing this), but I'm still hoping for an express solution.
I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this is a dumb question (but even if it is - can anyone point me in the right direction?)
Thanks

How To Use SQL Server Express Effectively In Development Environment?
Jan 31, 2008Hi all,
I must be missing something obvious. I'm not clear on how SQL Express can provide a decent development experience. Consider:
1. I have a class library that includes an express database file, set to always copy to output folder.
2. I have code that attaches to the database in the output folder at runtime.
As a result of the above, the first execution after restarting SQL Server will work. Subsequent builds will fail because SQL Server has a lock on the database file in the output folder. Or one of the two files will be copied (DB and log) and therefore they will be out of sync and detected as corrupt when the code attempts to connect. Either way, I have to restart SQL Server and rebuild before the DB connectivity will work again.
I figured I might need to detach from the DB in my shutdown code, but I cannot execute sp_detach_db from my code because it cannot be done through a connection to the database (database is in use). Moreover, I'm not sure I want to because the user might execute multiple instances of the application.
What am I missing here? Do I need to put steps in my build script to stop and start the local SQL Server instance?
Thanks for any help,
Kent
Enable Production SQL Server Express For SQLCacheDependency?
Aug 1, 2007Q1: Can I just open these protocols I need (see web links below) and then close them down again after SQLCacheDependency has been enabled? Note: The website (asp.net 2.0/SQL server Express) operates OK right now with asp.net - but it does not have SQLCacheDependency enabled.
Problem: When I try to do this I keep on getting this error message:
"An error has occurred when 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."
None of these 3 commands have worked (all give the same message above):
aspnet_regsql.exe -U user1 -P pwd1 -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed
I am trying to run these commands via a MSTSC connection. Q2: Is that (terminal server) the problem (the "remote connection") complained of above ?
This is the command that worked on my local dev machine:
aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed
Q3: Must I really go through the procedure "How to: Configure Express to accept remote connections" at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
I don't really want to have SQL server accepting any connections as the last time it was listening on these ports we had so many attacks being made that it was filling up the logs!
What I can't understand is that every night the database is backed up with the following command line code (operating as a Scheduled Task):
sqlcmd -s server1/SQLEXPRESS -i MW4BAK.SQL -E
Q4: So if the server is happy receiving commands from 'sqlcmd.exe' why does it have such problems with 'aspnet_regsql.exe'
Q5: If I grouped those statements I need to setup SQLCacheDependency under a Scheduled Task would they work (as there would presumably be no remote connection then) or is it something in the nature of the connection established which allows sqlcmd.exe to work but stops aspnet_regsql.exe?
SQL Express Database On Production Server Not Working
Aug 6, 2007Hi all,
I have a site which used a SQL Express database. On my development machine, it works perfectly. As soon as I move it to the production machine, it doesn't work at all. I am pretty confused by what is going on and I really don't want to install Visual Studio on my production machine just to debug it. I am hoping someone might have an idea what could be happening.
Oh, and I have tried setting Everyone to Full Control on the App_Data directory just to test. Still breaks. Below is my web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings> <add name="database_sqlexpress" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf; integrated security=true; user instance=true"/></connectionStrings>

Windows Forms - How To Use SQL Server Express Database In Production
Feb 11, 2008I have a windows forms application that I would like to put in production on several machines. Each machine will contain it's own data and does not need to be networked.
I can use my local connection right now to access the data, but I would like to change my connection so that it will work when installed on a client's machine.
My Current connection string looks like this:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMYNAMEMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsInterimApplicationInterimApplicationInterim.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I believe I could use something like this:
Dim connectionString as string = "Data Source=" & Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) & "/InterimApplication/data/Interim.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
However, I am not sure. Also, if the client does not install to the default directory, then this may cause the application to not work properly.
Lastly, I am not sure if the client machine needs any additional software on their computer in order for the application to be capable of connecting to the data source.
Any recommendations, ideas, comments, or general help is greatly appreciated.

What About Re-applying SQL 2005 Service Packs When Upgrading Express SP1 To Workgroup, Etc.?
Aug 8, 2006 How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack(SP).
What about re-applying SQL 2005 service packs when upgrading Express SP1 to Workgroup, etc.?
SQL Express Environment
May 5, 2006Novice SQL Express User...
Now that I've installed SQL 2005 Express Advanced, shouldn't there be a DB Environment I can work with? There must be a configuration mistake because I can't see the "container?" Prior to SP1 I had SQL 2005 Express installed and I could open and use SQL; however, once I loaded SP1 that stopped. I thought if I load the "Advanced" I would be "back in business."
Thanks,

Problem Deploying SQL Express Database To Hosted Environment
Nov 2, 2007I have a web app that uses two SQL Express databases. One of the databases is the membership database. I am deploying the app to a hosted environment. Here is my connection string:
<add name="Akamojo_APSNETDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress; AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|Akamojo_ASPNETDB.mdf; Initial Catalog=Akamojo_ASPNETDB; Integrated Security=true; User Instance=true"/>
Here is the error that I get:
Could not open new database 'Akamojo_ASPNETDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Cannot attach the file 'e:hostingmemberakamojoTournamentLogApp_DataAkamojo_ASPNETDB.mdf' as database 'Akamojo_ASPNETDB'.
File activation failure. The physical file name "c:inetpubwwwrootTournamentLogApp_DataAkamojo_ASPNETDB_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.
The mdf file is not read only. In the hosted environment the database is on the E drive. In my dev environment the database is on the C drive. From the error message, it appears that when it tries to build the log file it is trying to build it on the C drive in a path that doesn't exist in the hosted environment.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
