Hi
I have a table called my_history that has columns like this
column_name , old_value, new_value, key, date
bankaccount 30 50 1 01-Apr-2008
bankbalance 10 14 2 04-Apr-2008
and so on............
The history table is populated using triggers
The main table called my has a structure like
bankaccount bankbalance bankname name address key
50 50 xyz abc ford 1
30 14 abc xyz east 2
Now using this information can i reconstruct the records in my table before the update happened ?
I am finding it very difficult to do this is there a way to do this in t-sql ?
The problem is my_history table where the column_name keeps on varrying

I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on
I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???

I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.

i am creating a model in which the control panel i am building for a web application, i can write sql statements in a textbox and the query will be done in my application. But i am have a problem creating a table.

How can i permit my sql server to allow creation of tables from my web application.
Thanks
I have a VB application using an SQL server database. I've created two groups in SQL Server for the database, one called APPS Users and the other called APPS Admin. So far, so good. However, when I place users into the APPS Admin group, it seems that besides getting to my application via a connection string, they also get complete access to my SQL Server. I don't want them to have total access to my SQL Server, only to the application's database.
In short, I want to limit them to nothing more than my application and its related database. In my application, these APPS Admin users will see a different group of menus than the regular users.
Since some of these APPS Admin users are also DBO's, how can I set up my group to limit them?
Hope I made my plight clear.... any help offered is most appreciated! Thank you!
Wherever you go, there you are!
I am always not sure whether to consider create another DB for Logging usage.
As my habit, i love to create 2 DBs for one apllication, for example the applaication name is HHH, i would love to create two DBs named HHH and HHHLog.
For HHH, recoording any transaction , for HHHLog, it's only for log alll knids message and archive some transaction tables monthly.
Is this good?
or just one DB is OK.
Give some feedback, thanks.
I am trying to run an ssis package from a classic asp web page.

Hi,
I want my application to create database and I do the following things:
1)Create application role
2)Grant create database to application role
3)Activate application role
4)Create database
and I get the answer:
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
I would like some help creating a view that will display the latest status for each application. The lastest status should be based on CreateDt.
For example:
Table Structure:
============
Application: ApplicationID, Name, Address, City, State, Zip, etc..
ApplicationAction: ApplicationActionID, ApplicationID, Status (Ex:new, reviewed, approved, closed), CreateDt
View should display:
==============
ApplicantID, ApplicantActionID, Status, CreateDt
Example:
==========
ApplicantID=4, Name=Bob Smith, etc....
ApplicantActionID=1, ApplicantID=4, Status=New, CreatDt=1/3/20071:00
ApplicantActionID=2, ApplicantID=4, Status=Reviewed, CreatDt=1/3/2007 2:00
ApplicantActionID=3, ApplicantID=4, Status=Approved, CreatDt=1/4/2007 1:00
.... etc....
View should return:
Applicant=4, ApplicantActionID=3, Status=Approved, CreatDt=1/4/2007 1:00
etc....
from with in an application using the report view can you puase a report that is taking a long time to complete and then at a latter date resume where you paused the report.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello all,
When I create a new database and replicate to it using BeginMonitoredBackgroundSync :
Code Block
public void BeginMonitoredBackgroundSync(string User)
{
CreateReplicationInstance(User);
repl.BeginSynchronize(
OnSimplifiedSynchronizeComplete,
SqlCeReplication_OnStartTableUpload,
SqlCeReplication_OnStartTableDownload,
SqlCeReplication_OnSynchronization,
repl);
}
private void CreateReplicationInstance(string User)
{
repl = new SqlCeReplication();
string host = repl.HostName;
repl.HostName = User;
string dbFilePath = "";
dbFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase) +
"\" + repl.HostName + ".sdf";
string myConnectionString = string.Format("Data Source = {0};PWD = {1}", dbFilePath, sqlSettings.Items["SqlPassword"]);
repl.InternetUrl = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["InternetUrl"];
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.DBAuthentication;
repl.Publisher = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["Publisher"];
repl.PublisherDatabase = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["PublisherDatabase"];
repl.PublisherLogin = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["PublisherLogin"];
repl.PublisherPassword = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["PublisherPassword"];
repl.Publication = dynamicsReplicationSettings.ReplicationSettingsItems["Publication"];
repl.Subscriber = "RemoteSubscription" + repl.HostName;
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = myConnectionString;
repl.ConnectionRetryTimeout = 120;
repl.LoginTimeout = 120;
repl.CompressionLevel = 6;
if (File.Exists(dbFilePath))
{
FileInfo info = new FileInfo(dbFilePath);
if (info.Length <= 20480)
{
File.Delete(dbFilePath);
repl.AddSubscription(System.Data.SqlServerCe.AddOption.CreateDatabase);
}
}
else
{
repl.AddSubscription(System.Data.SqlServerCe.AddOption.CreateDatabase);
}
primeConnection();
}
After the replication finishes, I dispose the replication object like so:
Code Block
void OnAsyncSynchronizeComplete(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
try
{
repl.EndSynchronize(asyncResult);
if (repl != null)
{
repl.Dispose();
repl = null;
}
if (ReplicationComplete != null) ReplicationComplete(this, true);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
if (ReplicationComplete != null) ReplicationComplete(ex, false);
}
}
Then later, if I try to update, insert or delete to the database, the application will hang. I can read from it, but I cannot write. If I close the application down and open it back up without replicating, I will not get any lockups. It also will not hang up after any replications prior to the create replication. I think I am doing something wrong in the initial replication that is holding on to some connection to the DB causing it to lock up. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
I saw a video on how its possible to create a local database so that when the application is being deployed, the mdf file will be deployed with it and will contain the enter data. The instructor(Beth Messi) showed that all I need to do is to add the .mdf file using the "Rightclick Project name in solution explorer > select add > add new item > then in the dialog that opens, select SQL database and click ok. I did this but the Visual Studio kept saying: "An error occored while extablishing a connection with the server. When connecting SQL Server 2005, this failure may have been caused by the fact that under the default settings of SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Shared memory provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Honestly, I don't know how to go futher with this. The SQL server am using is the professional edition and I have been able to use it through Visual Studio to create Databases. It connects alright in that senario. Please I really need help here.
Hi,
autorized user: sa
any user : nuran
temporary table: birtablo
I need a stored procedure will execute by sa and it will create some required temporary tables for each users. For example table name is birtablo. I mean sa will create table for nuran, and when I checked the owner of the table (birtablo) I want to see nuran not dbo.
sa will execute following command:
create table nuran.birtablo (...........)
Is it possible to cerate a table by sa on behalf of any user? If it is, could you please explain?
Thanks

Good morning,
Im having a little problem with this report I need to generate, so I thought I would ask for some advice.
I have 2 tables. The 1st is the actual table and the 2nd is the log table (Employee; Employee_log). the '_log' table is an image of the Employee table except it has 4 extra fields (recID, last_updated_employee_id, operation and operation_date) recid being the PK of the log table.
I need to generate a report that contains some thing like the following:
Table_Name
Column_Name
Old_Value
New_Value
Employee_Modifier
Operation
Operation_Date
Employee
LastName
Reid
Blevins
Jessica Bluff
UPDATE
2/2/2008
Employee
FirstName
Bison
Blison
Jessica Bluff
UPDATE
2/1/2008
Employee
EmployeeID
1234
Jessica Bluff
INSERT
2/1/2008
Employee
EmployeeID
75
Bill Thompson
DELETE
1/28/2008
To do this, I compare the Employee table to the Employee_log table. If I find changes (the two columns do not equal), I add that columnName and the column value for the regular table(new_value) and the column value for the log table(old value). If anyone has a solution or some sql to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. (A query that will give me each columnName with the value per row would help; Somehow possibly joining my Employee table with 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS' ??) Thanks!
Hello,
I wish to track changes made to a table, including login who made the change, time of change, etc, without having to change the existing table structure, stored procedures, application.
If anyone has any strategies (with a brief explanation) or articles they could point me to, it would be very much appreciated.
My thinking is to set up a trigger to write both old and new data to a audit table but considering different strategies may be helpful.
Thanks for your time,

Hi,
Is there anyway I can audit the data imported by BCP or DTS into the table ?
Thanks,
Mano.
I have tried to make my basic audit log do more, but i haven't gotten very far;
In my basic audit log, i record this information:
table
type of change
field modified
old value
new value
db user
date/time
This audit records everything, which is great, but it cannot relate information when i go back to analyze the changes; for example, when a "directory" record is added, a user's information may be entered into several different tables, such as:
name (different table)
addresses (different table)
phone numbers (different table)
If one wanted to look up the changes to addresses of a person in the directory based on the person's name, i could not do it with my existing audit log because the addresses would be in a different table than the name table and there is no relating data in the audit log to relate the address changes to a persons name;
What might be a solution? I have tried a few approaches and am at a loss;
Thank you!

I am currently developing a system which uses SQL Server 7 as its repositry. One of the systems requirements is the ability to be able to record any changes made to the data, and by whom. In other words I need to store the before and after with a userid.
Has anyone any experience with the matter.

Is there away to track which user had deleted and object(table),
the transaction log has that information but you can't read it and
the error log doesn't log such info. Any advice would be appricated, thanks.
