Changing The Sqldataroot
Dec 14, 2000
A college forgot to change the data root when installing a developer server. My question is can this be changed whitout reinstalling the server and restoring the developer databases.
I found sqldataroot under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerSetu pSQLDataRoot]
If I stop the sql server and change this value and move the *.mdb and *.ldf files. Would I risk currupting the databases and do I need to change something else? For example would changeing this value change the default path for backupdevices?

I have a problem where our developers would like to change the passwords of the SQL Logins without knowing the users old password.
The only way they can use the below syntax is that they must be a member of the SYSAdmin Server Role.
sp_password NULL, 'newpassword',Max
I need a way to allow them to change the passwords without making a user a member of the SYSAdmin Server Role.
Any thoughts would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks in advance.

I need to change my security settings from "Windows NT Only" to "SQL Server and Windows NT". Does anyone know of any issues with doing this? Does this subtract anything or does it only add access??

I`m running SQL 6.5 with standard security. We`re running NT 4.0. I am a member of the NT Admin group - which, of course, has sa privileges in SQL Server. I changed the sa password (via Enterpise Manager on my client machine); and it worked. I tested the password change by connecting to ISQL/w - both on my client machine and at the server machine.
However, when I attempted to connect to the server via Enterprise Manager (SEM) - on my client machine - my login attempt failed. But at the server machine, I connected just fine.
Somehow, even though we`re using standard security, I`m getting locked out of SEM because of the new password. Changing the sa password back to what it had been resolved the problem; but the old password was only meant to be temporary.
Any suggestions or explanations?

Hi,
During SQL installation I left the SA password blank. Now when I try to change it, the event log fills up with the following errors:
Mesg 18456 : Login failed- User: sa.
I am using SQL database for SMS and I have a SMS service account.
The error type in event viewer is "Failure Audit".
I am stopping and starting SQL once changes are made. I am also registering server with "Use Trusted Connection". I have also tried with "Use Standard Security" and the SA account.
Can anyone tell me how to change my SA password without affecting my SMS service account?
Thanks,
Terry

Hi all,
I have a table that has integrity constraints in place and it is populated with the data. I need to rename one of the columns in the table. I am hesitant to use sp_rename procedure because when I used it before I get a warning message that says "changing any part of an object name could break scriptd and stored procedure." how big of a problem is it? Is there any other way to do it without hearting anything? Thanks.

I have looked thru the forum but have a couple of questions:
1) data base was created with case insensitive collation
2) all the tables were then create (72 tables) and by default got the CI collation on all columns
3) lots of data was added 2GB
4) discovered mistake and altered the database to have case sensitive collation
5)..... how to change all the collations for all the columns without doing them all manually
can i backup the database and change some settings and restore it?
export all the data, drop and recreate tables and import data?
????

We are building an inventory management system complete with BOM. It is important to track what employee is updating what tables. Currently all such tables have a Date field that is updated when a change is made, and an EmployeeID field which records the employee making the change. I am wondering if someone knows of a better way to track this information. Any suggestions?

Finally, I may have a good enough excuse to justify changing the compatabilty level of one of the biggies I look after!
Before I go ahead with the change I just wanted to run a couple of questions passed the community.
I know this is very vague, but what sort of problems should I expect? I know there are a few syntax changes, but I don't imagine I will have a problem going up in compatability level!
What is the best method to perform this?
A very simple
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
Or
ALTER DATABASE SET SINGLE_USER
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'playdb', 80
ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER
How long does this process take; are we talking seconds, minutes, hours? I imagine it's seconds, but I pose this question because a colleague reckons it will take longer because of the database size. I argue that because it's a db configuration setting, it will make no difference...
Thanks a bunch,
George

I have read all the FAQs on restore and find myself still confused.
So I apologize if the information is there and I am missing it.
I want to move the databases from an old server to a new server, brand new, will be the same name and IP address once the database is transfered.
Everything I have read says do a full back up and then restore onto the new server. Makes sense so far, my question is how does the Database Master get handled?
Is it necessary to restore it?
If so what is the best way to go about it?
Thanks for your help

Is there a thread that says what should we be looking for if I change password for SA?
I am new to the org here and have to clamp down on the SA logins.
This is what comes to my mind:
1.Client apps:
====================
a.Hard coded into VB apps
b.File DSNs
c.System DSNs
2.Web app:
================
a.Hard coded into .asp and .aspx
b..inc files that have collective connection strings.
c.Possible use of file DSNs
d.Possibly use of system DSNs
3.Ad-hoc Queries by Users
===============================
4.Maintenance Plans and Jobs etc.
=======================================
a. DTS packages
b. Replication
Is there anything else that you can add to this list will be helpful.

After I have changed the SA password and attempt to login I get the following error.
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider:Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:233)
If I change the password back I can login without any problems. I need to change the SA password.
Thanks for any suggestions.
