I have written some code that selects all the databases on our server then uses a while loop to execute some dynamic sql to query a table in each database. The problem is some of the databases dont have the correct permissions so the query breaks. Is it possible to check to see if the database has the correct permissions before I execute the dynamic SQL and if it doesn't move onto the next one in the list?

I am looking at replacing a polled system with Query Notification. However when I create the SqlDependency I need to be sure I have the correct permissions. I check the SqlClientPermissions via the Demand() method, but also want to ensure I have the correct DB permission given my current connection string. As I understand it I need to have the following permissions:
CREATE PROCEDURE, QUEUE, and SERVICE permissions
SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS
SELECT on underlying tables
RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue
I check most of these via the 'has_perms_by_name' function, but cannot find the correct syntax to check for RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue. I would also love to find a way to do this via SMO instead of issuing SQl commands. Also am I missing any checks ....
Finally, I have also run into the problem whereby SQL issues the following error:
The activated proc [dbo].[SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374] running on queue ImlHostDB.dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374 output the following: 'Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'EMEADyerN', error code 0x54b.'
I ran into this issue when I bought my machine out of sleep mode with it no longer connected to the network. Is their no way to get a error notification. In this situation I will just stop seeing notification and without looing at the ErrorLog believe their is nothing wrong.
Many Thanks, Nick
I am very VERY new to using Visual Studios...
I have a SQL database with a table in it "table1" inside the table there is a field "ID"
I have made a new website project thing, and I have a textbox and a submit button
What I want to do is make a function that will check if what the user has typed into ID is valid, e.g. it exists in the database
Can anyone point me in the right direction about how I could do this?
Thanks very much
Which is the best way to check the size of a database from Transact SQL ? (Selecting from Sysfiles gives a totally different result compared to right-clicking a database and selecting Properties. It's the result from the latter than I want to obtain through Transact sQL.)
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to check if a certain entry exists in a SQL table. Ideally, the output would be a boolean so I can use it in an IF statement which would tell it what to do depending on whether or not the entry exists. Thanks for anyone that helps. :)

hi
i have over 200 tables with all same column and data type locate all over the server(20)different database. so i have table call Tname to stored all the link like (databasename.dbo.tablename) so my job will call the Tname table to use cursor to insert records. but the problem is there's one or more table's column name K datatype has been modify by someone else. so is it cause the job fail.

I am fairly new to SQl and PHP and have a question. I have a database that we enter in when a person buys a season ticket for our baseball team. I want to check and see who bought in 2013 but has not yet bought in 2014. How do I do that?
THID is the ticket holder ID and there is a year. I can do the select * from Passes where Year = '2014' and get everyone who has bought in 2014. How do I compare that with the 2013 and show people who have not bought yet in 2014?
Example entry:
THID PassType Year
15 2 2013
21 1 2013
10 1 2013
21 1 2014
With this - Ticket holder 21 has bought in both years so I wouldn't want his name to come up. I would want to see that ticket holders 15 and 10 haven't yet bought in 2014.
When my app starts up I want to ensure that the database compatibility level has been set to 90. I know about sp_dbcmptlevel, but that only seems to work in an interactive session; the documentation says it can't be used in a stored procedure, and that appears to be true. Does anyone know how I could read the database compatibility level in a stored proc?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
While cleaning up some code, I ran across the following statement in a stored proc - the purpose of which is to determine if a table exists in the local database: SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[XML_PRINTDATE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1of course I removed it from the IF just for testing purposes, but my quandry is this...
Why chose that select (converting table name to object ID) rather than just doing THIS:SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
I first thought it was to gain access to the "id" column value (and that may yet be the purpose of it), but the second code seems to work just peachy (I assume because the id column is present in the sysobjects table itself).
A follow-on question is this:
When I try to do the same check from another server (i.e.SELECT * FROM APRECEIVE1.DailyProd.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'XML_PRINTDATE' and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) it of course fails because OBJECTPROPERTY only looks for the id on the local database.
So, do I CARE if it is a user table? (I am reasonably sure it is, of course) and if so, is there a way to check on the remote server for the object type?
Bottom line is I Think I can just simplify things and check for the object name on the remote server, but just don't want to take away any "warm fuzzy feeling" generated by the original stored proc, if such a warm fuzzy is of any benefit (though don't get me started on the relativity of warm fuzzies, I wrote my Thesis on that ;) )
I have a form view that I am using to insert new data into a sql express database and would like to find a way to avoid attempting to insert a record if the key already exists. is there a way to do this with the formview insert command. Everything works great until I try to add a record with an already existing value in the unique key field, then it breaks.

is there a way to find out that SQL Server 2005 (Express) engine is performing startup checked of a selected database?
The problem we are faced to is that our users shutdown brutally their laptops running their database. When they start laptops again, they impatiently start the application that tries to connect to the database. However, they get an error message:
Cannot open database XXXXX requested by the login. The login failed.
When they try after a minute or two, it works.
What we would like to do is provide an information message that the SQL server is checking the database and that they must wait for a while. Is there is a specific error code for this, can anyone help? We are using .NET 2.0.
Thank you,

I found this script online..
SELECT prin.[name] [User], sec.state_desc + ' ' + sec.permission_name [Permission]
FROM [sys].[database_permissions] sec
JOIN [sys].[database_principals] prin
ON sec.[grantee_principal_id] = prin.[principal_id]
WHERE sec.class = 0
ORDER BY [User], [Permission];
but the results are this: 2 columns - User and Permission
User Permission
User1 GRANT CONNECT
User2 GRANT CONNECT
IS there a way in SQL Server (2005/2008/2012) to run a script against a Database that will show all users that have permissions to that Database and the type of permissions?
Hi, In my web app I've got two databases (the asp profile one and my own custom one). If I take the code and data and use it to create another website on another box, I usually get a database error saying the permissions are wrong. In this case I usually just give everyone full control and it works, but this obviously isn't good practice!So, I'm wondering what permissions on database files does ASP need? Which users need what permissions? Thanks

I am trying to learn ASP.NET with SQL Server and I am having trouble with database permissions...
I am trying to use the following connection code:
Public dbconnstring As String = "Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=tempdb"
Now... this code works fine for the database "tempdb"..... but gives me an "access denied" error with the database "Northwind"...
I have tried to play around with the permissions for the Northwind database... but nothing happens...
Does anyone know haw to work around this??? either through changing the connection code or through changing the database permissions????
I created a database using the sa account !!
I then created another user and made it a dbo of the database and used this account to create the tables etc and load the intital data.
My problem is that the sa account (or any new account that I create - regardless of the role) can not access the data in the tables.
Any help in resolving this would be appreciated.

I have a user that need to create stored procedures but as the dbo account and not his own account so that the stored procedure is called dbo.storedprocedure and not domainuser.storedprocedure. He is a database owner but in order to have this happen I have to have him in the local Server Administrator group. What have I done wrong?
Also, he need to be able to run Enterprise Manager and SQL Ananlysis manager but I do not want him to be a local administrator but they will not start if he is just a local user. How can I accomplish it.
Thanks,

I have db 1 that has a process user called db1process that calls an exec spuserprocess
now spuserprocess has in it a call to
dbo.db2.spnewuser
and i gave spnewuser also permissions to userprocess but spnewuser also does selects from other tables and it is returning a permission error -- do i have to give spuserprocess access to all the other tables? is it not enough to give access to that procedure?
We have a system at work that copies (using DTS) over databases fromone SQL Server box to another every night. The copying process dropseach target object and then recreates them. On the 2nd SQL Server boxI have an account setup that is supposed to only have access to runqueries on the databases that get copied over every night. However,because the DTS packages are dropping the objects first we are losingthe table level permissions for this user, so this user can't accessthese databases the next day. Is there a way to automate resettingthese permissions on each table in the databases? Perhaps I should beusing replication as opposed to DTS packages for copying over entiredatabases? If I used replication, would this avoid losing thepermissions that I need?Thanks,Jeff

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a db that I use as the backend to an Access application. The application looks at 2 databases that are on the clinet machine. A db from a vendor and my new database. I can read the vendor db (with the proper dns), but I can only read my db when the user has admin privileges. I have granted the public all permissions for the table on my db. What am I missing?
Also, this is a db on a Small business Server 2003 so all of the SQL tools do not appear to be there.

Hi,
When a new Database is created ( some , not all. All that begins with 'PW' ) i want to add a windows-usergroup to it so they can access the DB.
Normally I could do this by adding this user to the model-db but it's not for all DB's that are added (The other DB's must not be accesible for this usergroup ).
The DB's are added by an External App so I have no control over it.
So I was thinking, no problem we can just add a trigger to the master..sysdatabases table and add if necessary the permissions.
Not -> Even with allowupdates = 1 you cannot add a trigger to a system table ( a bit overprotection from ms, should be allowed if you know what you are doing ).
I would like to avoid running a job every x time to look if a new DB has been added, the DB must be available within minutes after creation.
Does anybody has any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance,

Our staff login to SQL Server using NT Authentication. The logins have Security Administrator, Disk Administrator and Database Creator Server Roles.
Staff memebers create a new database with Enterprise Manager and are automatically the dbo of that database. They then need to restore the database (again using EM) from a backup file sent to us from various clients. Obviously their login/user will not exist in this external backup file we have been sent. When they restore the database (and they are large so this can take an hour), the restore is almost complete when it gives the error :
Server user 'BLAH' is not a valid user in database 'clientdb'.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally
The user is no longer dbo or even part of the database they just created.
IS there any way for me to get around this error without making all our staff System Administrors ?
Thanks,
Alison
Can we assign serverrole to a database role.
For example i have a new role created as A
Now can i add A to any of the server role..
Please advice..

How do you script database role permissions in Management Studio? No matter what options I select I do not see permissions assigned to a role.
Thanks, Dave
Hello.
I've moved a database from 2000 to 2005 and in 2005 I cannot see the permissions for this Database Role that I created. In 2000 you just right-clicked, selected properies and clicked on permissions. Am I going mad here or is this not an option in 2005. If not, how do I see the permissions that have been given to the role?
The 2005 database I refer to is on standard edition SP2
Thank You

View 1 Replies View Relatedhi,
I created an application using VB.NET, which performs accessto SQL database. the server is MS SQL 2000.
I got a few questions:
a. The application performs access to tables, performs SELECT transactions, and calls stored procedures. I want to define a userlogin that is only permitted to commit UPDATE and INSERT only by the stored procedures, and not by direct commands. Is that possible ? Do I have to deny access to READWRITE in the tables? If I do deny - will the user be permitted to call stored procedures that performs the INSERTUPDATE those tables ?
b. Do I have to create a LOGIN or a USER for the specified requirements ?
c. Where can I find REALLY detailed information about what I need to create (login, user, role ect.) ? I find only general stuff...
d. The user-defined role I need to create - is it considered as an application role (because it grants an application access to the database) or is it called SERVER ROLE ?
Thanks,
Dror.
thanks for reading.
i would like to create a new database role that has exactly the same permissions as an existing database role. the combinations of permissions are complicated enough to make this a time consuming task worthy of a script of some sort. any suggestions?
i'm running SQL Server 2000 and can't find anything about copying roles unless it's through DTS from one DB to another. not sure if this is applicable to basically duplicating and renaming a role in one database.
in case you're wondering why anyone would want to do this you may not be surprised to know that it's a government thing. some policy about differentiating between 2 roles -- even though they currently have exactly the same permissions, the similarities might change in the future.
thanks in advance for your input.
We have a monitor tool to monitor our SQL servers.The vendor has a script to grant permission to application account to SQL server so that they can do the monitoring.
I don't want to grant system admin role, but the script they have is very specific, the minimum is:
must be a member of db_datareader role on the msdb database
must have view server state permissions
view any definition
connection permission to master database
execute permission on the xp_readerrorlog stored procedure
connect permission to the msdb database
must be member of db_Datareader role in the msdb datab ase
connect permission to all databases.
The script given by vendor is as follows in the attachment.I don't like the last execute statement for if a new database is created, we have to remember manually add the monitoring acccount to that database.
I know in SQL 2014 it has a new feature of connect to any database, but unfortunately we are using SQL 2012 and 2008.
script to connect to any database but no need to add that each time we creates a new database.
I have two servers (server 2003) both running SQL Server Enterprise Edition Version 8. One SQL server is Primary, the other is Secondary. The system was doing a daily export from primary and import to secondary, but that quit working a while back. I'm trying to copy the databases from the Primary to the Secondary and than set up replication. I'm already stuck at copying the databases over using the copy database wizard. The servers are not on a domain, and the SQL server service is running as user ./sql. When using the copy database wizard i must use windows authication for it to select the Primary as the sourse, as inputing the SQL Server authication user (sql) and password says it cannot connect. When i select one of the databases to copy and run the wizard it gives me an error code -2147467259, in which google did not help me. It runs through the process of creating a temporary share, puts it in single user mode, detaches the DB, but fails to copy the file. I believe it is some sort of permissions issue on the drive, and gave user sql full access, and after that didnt work i gave "everyone" full access temporary to see if that worked but didnt. Do these servers need to be on a domain for this to work? I also read MSoft knowledgebase http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274463 Id rather not have set these up for a domain. Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedBrief description of the problem:My production server has about 50 databases and various permissions aregranted to public role on all these databases. Because of this any newuser added to any database gets unnecessary access to objects by virtueof being a member of public by default. I would like to fix this flawin the way the server is setup as below:1. Setup a new database role called NewRole on all 50 databases andcopy permissions to NewRole from public.2. Add all existing users to the new Role.3. Remove all permissions from public.Any suggestions on scripting this task are welcome.
