Transact SQL :: Database Audit Specification On Specific Users
Mar 30, 2015Currently I am using SQL server 2012 and would like to implement database audit specification on specific users in my database. These are the users in my database name Payroll :-
PayrollAndy.Bred - db_owner
PayrollArpit.Shah - db_owner
Payrollwebapp - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
web_payroll - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
In my database audit specification settings, I would like to capture any SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE and EXECUTE command for users PayrollAndy.Bred & PayrollArpit.Shah only since they owned db_owner access. However, I am unable to capture any single command from both users. I do not want to put 'Principal' as public since I just want to capture both users activity.
Is it I miss out anything? Is it because of windows login account?

DB Engine :: Index Defrag Routine Audit Frag Values
Aug 26, 2015I am currently re-writing an overnight index defrag procedure and would like to audit indexes in my database - logging the before defrag action" avg fragmentation value and "after defrag action" frag value in an audit table. Â This will be for all databases on the server. Â I have completed the vast majority of it (cycling though all the databases, detecting which indexes need reorganising or rebuilding and inserting the information into a table) but I cannot get the audit values working properly. Â For example, a sample row in my audit table would look like this:
ID Name DB Table frag_before frag_after
1 Index2 DB1 Table6 70.33456 0.03
2 Index7 DB1 Table9 45.98 1.2567etc

The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure.

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Error Upon Importing Text File
Apr 23, 2007Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE"
"108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";""
"109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";""
"FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""
...
Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?
Thanks in advance,

[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] In The File Specification '...', The Col1 Option Is Invalid.
Mar 23, 2007I'm trying to connect to a tab-delimited text file using the ODBC data access. I set it up using Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) from the start menu, and clicked the 'Guess' button under Define Format.
The schema it created looks like this:
[cims_output_data.txt]
ColNameHeader=True
Format=TabDelimited
MaxScanRows=0
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SIMNAME
Col2=TIMESTAMP
Col3=SIMTYPE
Col4=REGION
Col5=SECTOR
....etc.
It looks OK, but if I go back to Define in Administrative Tools and try to review it, I get a similar error message:
Ini File (or Registry) C:Program FilesCIMSschema.ini is corrupt.
Section: cims_output_data.txt, Key: Col1.
Has anyone seen this before? There is nothing on MSDN as far as I could find. I read on another forum that if you replace the label 'Col1' with 'Col' the problem is solved but it still reports that the schema is corrupt when I try to open it in Administrative Tools.
Bill.

SQL Security :: How To Create Database Specifications On Newly Created Database Automatically For Audit

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 having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

Possibility In Enterprise Manager
Jun 15, 2004Hi,
I'm using enterprise manager to remotely connect to a MS SQL Server for one of my client's websites. The problem I'm having is that the connection times out when I try to expand the "Databases" folder. The reason that it's timing out is because the company that hosts the DB has hundreds of other clients who all share the same IP, but each with their own seperate login/password/database, but even though I don't have access to all the rest of the DBs on the server, it still wants to list them all for me. What I'm wondering is is there a way to set EM to ignore all of the databases on the server that cannot be accessed with my credentials? So basically when I expand the Databases folder all that appears is the one that I can access?
Thanks,
Dante
SQL Express SP2 Upgrade Possibility
Sep 4, 2007I am planning to create an application in SQL Express Advanced SP2, and later upgrading to Standard Edition. The Express SP2 Readme states somewhat unclearly that this might not be possible, that upgrading must be done prior to installing SP2, and then SP2 can be applied. I'm confused about my options.
Right now, I need to use Express Advanced for the reporting capabilities, etc., but the only available download I can find is Express Advanced SP2. If I install and use this, will I later be able to upgrade "seamlessly" to Standard Edition? Or should I install an earlier version of Express Advanced? Also, I haven't seen a lot of advice about the "seamless" upgrade from Express to other editions. If any help can be provided to answer the first question and/or point me toward upgrade documentation, it would be appreciated.
Audit Logon / Audit Logoff Problem With SQL 2K
Jan 18, 2006I 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???
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs There Any Possibility To Sync Databases Directly?
Aug 31, 2012Currently our client has a website where they are using aspx as front end and SQL server as back end. We are developing same functionality using php and my sql.Currently 1 phase of development is finished. They are using both applications to do the job. Now in 2nd integration they are asking the data sync from one database to other.
We have decided once the user enters the aspx form the data will be stored in client sql server but we though of writing a script to enter this info into a csv file so that from our side we access that file and update in mysql.
Other than ftp any other better approaches to access that file on client server?Is there any possibility to sync databases directly?
DB Engine :: How To Restore From Current LDF Log File And Old BAK Backup File
Jun 11, 2015My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deletedÂ
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
  BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.
Database Audit
May 2, 2006Does MSSQL 2000 and above have an auditing feature? We have a requirement for tracking activity and history on a particular table. I realize this can be accomplished by a simple trigger but I was wondering if MSSQL had a feature that would accomplish this.

Database Audit
Jul 5, 2007Hi,
We are currently porting our POINT OF SALE system to SQL Server 2005. In our existing software we log database changes (inserts, amendments and deletions) to a flat acsii files so that these files can be FTP'd to remote sites (largest number of sites 100+) and processed on to replicate the data.
I have looked at REPLICATION in MSSQL 2005 but we need two way replication and additional processing. Therefore I dont think we will be able to use this feature.
Therefore what I wanted to do was to try and setup an automated way of capturing database changes to all tables within the database and log these changes to XML to be shipped out to remote sites. Unfortunatly I can only find TABLE TRIGGERS which would require creating 100's of triggers as we have 100's of tables.
Is there anyway of setting up MSSQL server to automatically do something like this... I was looking to see if there was a DATABASE TRIGGER which could perform this action but I cant see anything...
Can anyone advise or is there a simpler way of doing this ??

Any Possibility Of Creating A MUTUALLY Dependent CHECK
Jul 20, 2005Hi,DDL:-- create table #task (taskID int identity(1,1) primary key, taskNamevarchar(25) unique, taskCompleteDate dateTime, taskComplete bitdefault(0));/*Business Rules:a) if taskCompleteDate is NULL (like default) then, taskComplete maynot be set to 1 (attempt to update it to 1 would fail);b) else automatically set taskComplete = 1*/I was thinking using CHECK constraint (mutual constraint if possible),along the following line:CHECK (if taskCompleteDate is null set taskComplete=0 else settaskComplete=1)Hmm, your thought?Thanks.

DB Engine :: Extension FILE Among Backup File
May 8, 2015I checked quickly one network  and I ran into the folders; I found out the folder MSSQL backup, nothing strange so far. Within that folder, anyway, I found out several backup and one very huge file (datawarehouse) with extension FILE. I am wondering what can be? I got datawarehouse mdf of course and datawarehouse log but what is that huge file (1 TB)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedDatabase Audit Trail Question....
Jan 2, 2001Hi All....
First a bit about me. I'm a developer in Atlanta. My background is mostly in Unix, but am working in NT at this job. I am gearing my skills towards enabling products on the web for people. I have experience in PHP, HTML, Javscript, C/C++, MySQL, a little Oracle and now getting fimilar with SQL Server.
What i'm trying to do....
Track all changes to data in the DB.
Why i'm doing it....
Banking application, any account changes need to be logged with which employee made the change.
How I want to do it....
Currently the app is a web app that accesses VB for the backend. There is a single SQL Server user accessing the DB. I want to use triggers on INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE to copy the new row to any audit table. This will be identical but with user, action and time.
Problem....
Single user connection will hide acutal app userid. I want to have the VB app get the "SQL Server Session ID" (if one exists) and store the app_userid in a table with the session ID for cross reference by the trigger.
Question:
Does SQL Server have a "session id" for multiple connections for a single user? Where is it located? Can VB access this information?
Thanks,
Brian
