Can we create custom object wide roles? In the same manner that db_datareader in effect grants SELECT on all tables, can we create roles that affect all objects without having to explicitly grant the permission on every object?
View 1 RepliesHello Everyone,
I am trying to use a custom role provider, the main purpose so that I don't have to use a database file. My web.config file is posted below. My problem is that I think I have followed all the steps to create a custom role provider using both articles on MSDN and some written by Scott Gu. After Modifying my web.config file I went to the asp.net configuration to test the connection. Users are created in the remote database but roles are being picked up and created in the App_Data folder. Can anyone give me a hint at what I am doing wrong? thanks in advance.

Hi!
I'm assisting in the creation of a development enviroment with SQL Server 2005, and I need to assign some custom roles, in particular, a Stored Developer Role should be able to create, modify and execute Stored Procedures but they should not be able to alter tables or views, but should be able to retrieve/insert data from those tables.
I've tried with the default roles in 2005 to no avail.
Is there a relatively easy way to accomplish this with a database alredy populated with objects of both kinds? (SP's and Tables / Views)
Thanks!
Roles Table:
RoleID, RoleName
<RoleID1>, Allow_ClientFolder
<RoleID2>, Allow_ClientReportA
<RoleID3>, Allow_ClientReportB
<RoleID4>, Allow_CompanyFolder
<RoleID5>, Allow_CompanyReportA
<RoleID6>, Allow_CompanyReportB
UsersInRoles Table:
UserID, RoleID
<UserID1>, <RoleID1>
<UserID1>, <RoleID2>
<UserID2>, <RoleID4>
<UserID2>, <RoleID5>
<UserID2>, <RoleID6>
<UserID2>, <RoleID1>
<UserID2>, <RoleID3>
e.g.
when the <UserID1> clicks on the "home" link show only "Client" folder and when <UserID1> clicks on the "Client" folder only "ClientReportA" will show.
Here is the accessable map for each user:
<UserID1>
Client
ClientReportA
<UserID2>
Client
ClientReportB
Company
CompanyReportA
CompanyReportB
Question:
What is the best way to implement CheckAccess? At first I thought I can access the item names and I can test authorization through that, but AceCollection contains operation permission of the accessing object.
I wrote a C# class that has a couple of methods that can be called to grab data out of a flat file and import it to a DB. This class was written for a web applicaiton originally. (class has many complex business rules in it)
Now I would like to use this same class in a SSIS package.
Is it possible in a script task to create a new object with my class and use it's methods?
In the end all I want SSIS to do is create my object, call a method in that object and be done.
If I was doing this in DTS, I would have to create an .Net EXE that used my class but I'm hoping to avoid that in SSIS.

Hi,Using VB.net I have created a custom object (hope my terminology is correct here), it’s just a class that defines a few string, integer, and hash table variables. After creating an instance of this class and populating it with data I need to be able to store this instance of my object in a sql server data base table. How do I do this? I saw an article that used the image data type to achieve this (code was in java unfortunately) is this the correct approach. Could you please give me some code examples
Thanks
I have a SqlDataSource that has a parameter that I am trying
to set.
The item is stored in a session field called “GameObject�
Game Object is a simple class that has a several variables.
I am trying to access the .name data member of the class.
<asp:SessionParameter Name="GameCode" SessionField="((GamingSystem)Session[‘GameObject’]).Name" />
This does not work. Is there a way to declarative bind to
the item that I am for.
Hello,
I am new user of SQL Server. I have some problems with these words. I want to make my database works in my specified permissions. I will specify permissions with schemas and these schema wants an owner. I want this owner should be my user. When creating a user it needs a valid login. I am selecting my login and it occurs and error says this login has an different user. I am specifying permissions with roles. But i can't make association all of them. I hope i told my problem to you as well. If you explain these words to me and tell me how can i do my database's works with my own schemas, users and roles i'll be grateful. Thanks for advices.
Happy coding...
Can you write a stored procedure to add a user to your DB and set the roles the user belongs to?
I want to write a stored proc. to add users and set roles so it can be used in code instead of doing it manually.
After the user has been added and their roles set, can you write another stored proc. to give you what roles they belong to?
Apologies if my post does not fit into this forum. I initially tried the SQL Server Data Access forum but I now think my question is more security related.
Is it possible for a web user who has been successfully authenticated with forms authentication to be authorised to use a SQL Server 2000 role depending on a particular ASP.NET 2.0 role that they have been authorised to use? I understand that that I can assign a SQL Server 2000 role to the ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE account but this will grant access to anonymous web users to the database role. I can ensure that I only call stored procedures which access sensitive data in web pages that are in restricted by ASP.NET roles. However, it would be nice to also restrict stored procedures via the ASP.NET 2.0 Forms Authentication roles.
If this is not possible have you got any bright ideas how I could restrict access to stored procedures who are anonymous web users.
Many thanks,
Mark
I'm developing an ASP.NET2.0 application which accesses a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I plan to use integrated security for access to the database.
I'm confused about the relationships between Windows groups, the ASP.NET web.config file <allow roles=.../> and SQL Server roles.
I would like to create a Windows group to which I can assign multiple users and grant that group access to a Web Site using windows authentication and also grant that windows group access to the database my web application uses.
I have gotten the combination of Windows Authentication to the web site and to the database to work for a specific windows user but I am having trouble determining the combination of database security entities I must create to allow access to my database by members of the windows group.
For a Windows user:
1. Create Windows user
In SQL Express
2. CREATE LOGIN FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE =
3. CREATE USER FOR LOGIN
4. CREATE ROLE
5. EXEC sp_addrolemember <role-name> <user-name>
For a Windows group, what would be the equivalent commands necessary to grant a windows group access to my database? Specifying the Windows Group name in sp_addrolemember does not appear to be sufficient even though the documentation states that a windows group name is a valid value for the member name argument.
After reading Books Online, I am still confused with Database Role vs Application role.
My intention is to control the end users' authority on the database, where the end users will access through Winforms client application. With proper assignment of schema and database roles to an user, I believe this will enough to control the permisison of an user.
If this is the case, why Application role exists? When and why should I use Application Role? How is it different from Fixed Database Role?
Hi! Can anyone say which ms sql server predefined roles are similar to the following oracle predefined roles: dba, connect, resource. I already know that sysadmin in MS SQL Server is the same as DBA in Oracle but what about the rest?
Thanks a lot.
I am in the process of locking down the SQL Server in an environment that is considered to be in production (pilot stages) and there is no staging or test environment that mirrors it. I need assistance in determining the server and database roles to assign to existing logins, most of which currently have sa and dbowner rights. Because it is not a development environment, I need to be sure that downgrading the server and/or database level permissions will not break any functionality.
I'm starting with the logins that have the SA fixed server role. These logins need to be able to install applications that require the use of a backend database, which will be stored on SQL Server. In addition, through the installation process a new login/password for the newly created database(s) is normally created. For the existing logins with the SA fixed server role, will downgrading to the securityadmin and dbcreator roles be sufficient to facilitate those needs, or are those too much/ too little? And should any user account ever be granted the SA role? If so, what questions could I ask to determine this need?
Since these install process for these applications usually prompt to install using SA or local system account to authenticate to SQL to create the new database(s), that account should have securityadmin and dbcreator roles to create the database and its tables, as well as add a new login to that database.
Please address this question, keeping in mind that the logins will only be performing the described actions, installing apps using SQL Server as the backend database and adding a login to that database (which may or may not be done during the installation process).
Thank you,

Hi,
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In
my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to
edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the
properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid".
In
the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display
data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I
have already created within this UI, and not the actual component
object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
I am writing in C#.
Hi,
I'm looking for some guidance/help regarding setting up a sa - lite account in SQL 2005. I need to give another admin rights to create/monitor maintenance plans, backup and restore databases, monitor performance/logins, but NOT be able to have any rights on several tables (and of course not being able to set user permissions).
I've tried using server and db roles but haven't been able to determine how to give someone w/o full sa rights access to maintenance plans.
If you can think of soemthing, please let m eknow.

I have MS SQL Server 2000 DB.
I have created a User and created some tables for the same.
I created a Role named A and granted Select Permissions for few tables to that roles.
When I created another Role named B and added this role (A) to B, the permissions are not being xferred to B. Bcos of which, if i assign an User to Role B, he is not able to select the tables for which permissions have been given thru role A.
Note : If i give assign directly the user to Role A, it is working. But i want to assign User to role A only thru B.
Is a table 45 columns wide too wide? Most of the data is very small( check boxes, one word fields etc.) I have one giant form that needs to be filled out and uploaded to the database. I don't want to fragment the table too much because it will be a pain to update it. This table will have to be searched, that's why I am concerned with the width. I am hoping that an index would help out and would provide enough performance that I can keep a wide table.
Thanks,
Nathan
ok, i have been charged with the task of searching a server that houses 50-60 client databases. all databases are identical, created from a prototype. i have discovered an issue whereby one of the clients db is missing a required sproc. they now want me to check all db's to see if anyone else is missing the sproc or not. i have a UN and PASS to login to the server that houses all db's. is there a method for me to query all db's at once and check for the sproc? or will i have to go through them all manually (which could become quite time consuming as there are so many db's, and quite a large number of sprocs in each. the sprocs seem to be listed in a semi-random order in each db as well)
thanks all
Is there any way to create Server wide UDFs? We have alot functions that are spread across multiple databases and its time consuming going around databases looking for them. What would be nice is to create functions at the server level which can be accessed within any database, like the GETDate() function.
Thanks in advance.
I'm working on a system that is very address-centric and detection ofduplicate addresses is very important. As a result we have brokenaddresses down into many parts (DDL below, but I've left out somereference tables for conciseness), these being state, locality, street,street number, and address. The breakdown is roughly consistent withAustralian addressing standards, we're working on finalising this.Because we carry the primary key down each of the levels, this hasresulted in our address table having a very wide primary key (around170 characters). We refer to addresses from a number of other tablesand although my instinct is to use this natural key in the other tablesI wonder if we should just put a unique index on the natural key,create a surrogate primary key and use it in the other table. Anythoughts?CREATE TABLE dbo.States (StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,StateName varchar (50) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_AddressStates PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED(StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.Localities (Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_Localities PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED(Locality,StateID,Postcode),CONSTRAINT FK_AddressLocalities_AddressStates FOREIGN KEY(StateID) REFERENCES dbo.States (StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.Streets (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_Streets PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode),CONSTRAINT FK_Streets_Localities FOREIGN KEY(Postcode,Locality,StateID) REFERENCES dbo.Localities (Postcode,Locality,StateID))CREATE TABLE dbo.StreetNumbers (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,StreetNumber varchar (15) NOT NULL ,BuildingName varchar (100) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_StreetNumbers PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber),CONSTRAINT FK_StreetNumbers_Streets FOREIGN KEY(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode) REFERENCES dbo.Streets (StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode))CREATE TABLE dbo.Addresses (StreetName varchar (35) NOT NULL ,StreetTypeID varchar (10) NOT NULL ,StreetDirectionID varchar (2) NOT NULL ,Locality varchar (46) NOT NULL ,StateID varchar (3) NOT NULL ,Postcode char (4) NOT NULL ,StreetNumber varchar (15) NOT NULL ,AddressTypeID varchar (6) NOT NULL ,AddressName varchar (20) NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT PK_StreetNumberPrefixes PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber,AddressTypeID,AddressName),CONSTRAINT FK_Addresses_StreetNumbers FOREIGN KEY(StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber) REFERENCES dbo.StreetNumbers (StreetName,StreetTypeID,StreetDirectionID,Locality,StateID,Postcode,StreetNumber))

I have a requirement as follows:->
I have a table like below
EMPLOYEEID------- OWNS
********** ****
1-----------------car
1-----------------house
1-----------------dog
2-----------------house
3-----------------car
3-----------------bus
3-----------------shop
3-----------------hotel
3-----------------theater
3-----------------casino
Requirement:
I wanted to create another table based on the column values. For eg: I have to take the employee id and check for what value he has under owns column in the table. I take only 3 values and then these values should go to the newly created columns (owns1, owns2,owns3).
if there is no value for any of these columns it should have null values loaded in them.
The result of the modification should look like this:->
EMPLOYEEID-------OWNS1------OWNS2------OWNS3
*********** ***** ***** *
1-----------------car--------house------dog
2-----------------house------Null-------Null
3-----------------car--------Bus--------shop
Note: eventhough employeeid 3 owns more than 3 things we only take 3 of what he owns and populate to above coloumns.
In addition to it, the column OWNS will have more than 500 different values in them.
Its kind of urgent and if anyone knows how to , Can you please help me on this.
Thanks a lot.

Dear All,
what are different types of joins avialable with sql server6.0, 7.0, 2000 and 2005 and now 2008...
the reason behind the question is :
i've used the swiss Sql tool to boost the performance of my join queries. and the tool has given some best options. those are working fine with database but failing at application level.
i found the reason is because of Loop join, Hash Join, Merge join.
your valubel suggsions are needed.
thank you veru much

Hi,
I have an ASP.NET application that uses VARCHAR extensively in the tables and, more importantly, stored procedures (a couple hundred of them).
This app needs to start accepting foreign language in some areas, so I was wondering if there was some way to go through the tables and, more importantly, the stored procedures and change all "VARCHAR" references to "NVARCHAR" ?
Are the stored procedures stored as a text file somewhere on the server? If so I could use some sort of "replace" software utility to go through and change all VARCHAR to NVARCHAR
thanks!

Hi,
Can we set the Uper/Lower case in server wide in SQL server 2000 as like case sensitive.
Thanks,
Ravi
I have a wide fact table that I'm feeding to an SSAS cube. I was advised that splitting the measure group into two will improve performance when querying the cube.
I cannot find any documentation that supports this, in fact I get a blue curved line suggesting that I merge the measure groups since they have the same dimensionality and granularity.
I guess the best practice is what the blue line states, but without knowing the internals of SSAS I can undestand that a smaller measure group may be easier to handle, or create more specific aggregations for.
Hello
I know that the following is possible:
declare @x varbinary(128)
select @x = convert(varbinary(128), 'Some user name')
set context_info @x
Then in a trigger, you can say:
UPDATE tbl
SET who_was_kilroy = convert(varchar, p.context_info)
FROM inserted i
JOIN tbl t ON i.keycol = t.keycol
CROSS master.dbo.sysprocesses p
WHERE p.spid = @@spid
I am searching for a more generic way (varbinary 128 is not big enough) to store and access connection wide variables
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have added several Active Directory groups and set the system roles for each to "System User" and set one of the groups (DBAdmin) to "System Adminstrator"
My issue is that even after doing this, the users in the other groups are able to access the "Configure site-wide security" link under Security and change the permissions. The only system permission these users have is "View shared schedules" so it doesn't seem that this should be possible.
I would appreciate any feedback on this issue. Thanks!
Is there a way to disable referential integrity on all destination tables for an import?
Thanks.
Thanks for reading.
This is pretty long, hopefully it isn't rambling.
I'm building a system that imports data from several source, Excel files, text files, Access databases, etc. using DTS. The entire process revolved around MS SQL Server, by the way.
I figured I would create denormalized tables that mirror the Excel and flat files, for example, in structure, import data to those, clean up and remove duplicates there, then break those out into my normalized table structure later.
Now I've finished the importing part (though this is going to happen once a week) and I'm onto breaking up the denormalized tables.
I'm hesitating because I'm not sure I've made the best decisions in terms of process, etc.
I've decided to use cursors to loop over the denormalized tables and use batch insert statements to push data out to the appropriate tables.
Any comments? Suggestions? All is welcome.
I'm specifically interested in hearing back on the way I've set up the intermediate, denormalized tables and how I'm breaking them up using cursors (step 2 of the process below). Still, all comments are welcome. As are suggestions for further reading.
Thanks again...
simplified example
(my denormalized tables are 20 - 30 colums wide)
denormalized table:
===================
name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
normalized tables:
==================
tblPerson [PK_person, name, age, height, weight]
tblAddress [PK_address, FK_person, street, city, state, zip, addressType]
tblContact [PK_contact, FK_person, data, contactType]
I'm breaking up the denormalized tables like this (*UNTESTED*):
=================================================
DECLARE @vars.... (one for each column in my normalized table structure, matching size and type)
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR
FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
FROM _DNT_myWideTable
INTO
WHILE @@Fetch_Status = 0
BEGIN
-- grab the next row from the wide table
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor
INTO @name, @address, @city, @state, @cellphone, @homephone
-- create the person first and get the ID with @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO tblPerson (name) VALUES (@name)
SET @personID = @@IDENTITY
-- use that ID to coordinate inserts across other tables
INSERT INTO tblAddress (FK_person, address, city, state, addressType)
VALUES(@person, @address, @city, @state, 'HOME')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @cellphone, 'CELLPHONE')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @homephone, 'HOMEPHONE')
END

Report:
-For instance 2 small tables (eg. width 10cm = 3 inch?)
-And one wide table (eg. width 30cm = 10 inch?)
All separated by "insert pagebreak after table".
Problem:
When rendered, the pages with the small tables on have a lot of white blank space at the right of the table. This is probably caused by the big table on page 3.
This report is distributed by email in Excell format. So on sheet 1 and 2 there are a lot of white cells on the right of the tables. When trying to print, they just want to use the "landscape" option and the "fit to page" option. Because of the empty white cells, the fit to page option reduces the first 2 tables to a very small table which covers only 50 % of the page width. The other 50 % is reserved for the empty cells.
Off course, I know that deleting the empty cells offers a solutions, but it would be a lot more handier if there were no empty cells in the first place.
Anybody with a solution?
