Is there a way in SQL to drop any users from a database. I am trying to schedule some nightly DB maintenance and some users are still in there sometimes. I need to be able to kick the out to do dbcc checkdbs, etc. Is there a way for me to do this without stopping the SQL services?
View 3 RepliesAnyone know how to drop all users associated with a particular login not matter what database they're contained in?
ie login AdminUser / User AdminUser (in databases master, Dev1)
....
Thus, is there a way to drop the AdminUser login above and associated user
AdminUser in databases master, Dev1 in example above.
Thanks
I have had this issue just pop up. I have local users who can connect fine, but my users that require connection by VPN cannot connect. I get the server not available or access denied error. I did confirm that the VPN'ers are connected to the network correctly and can see that their shares and mappings are correct. Any ideas? Thanking you all in advance!!

In SQL Enterprise Manager, when we expand "Database -->Users", we see the
users there. When we expand "Security --> logins" we see the same users there.
Can you differentiate these two.
Thanks

Hi,
After I drop the database, I backed up the master database, I recreate the database with new name. When I tried to do the import on the command level,
It gives me the error:
Attempt to locate entry in the sysdatabases for database 'db1' by name,
failed -- no entry found in that name.
What should I do? Thanks.
Hi friends,
How I can drop a database insatance from a different server ( data base is SQL Server 2005) from my code
Hoping a early reply ....
Thanks :)
I am trying to run a dymanic DROP DATABASE <dbname> command in a stored procedure called from ASP.NET. I typically connect from the .net using a SQL builtin account. I am getting this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop the database 'db_testco', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
The database is there for sure asI can browse it via the Studio manager. What permission do I need to set for my .net login to allow it to drop ? I tried adding the Delete permission to the database and still no go...
Setup: SQL 2005 SP2 2 Node cluster.
Thanks.

Hi,
i have a problem dropping a database?
I have a WinForm and i can create DB, create the Tables and drop the DB via buttons.
When i start myProgram it's no problem to drop the Database.
Then i can create the database without problems.
The tables also without problems.
Now if i try to drop my whole DB, i get the error message:
SqlException Handle :System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop database "XtmsDb" because it is currently in use.
The code for dropping db:
public void deleteProjectDB()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
sqlStr = "Drop database XTmsDB";
try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlStr, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
System.Console.WriteLine("Database dropped!!!");
}
catch (SqlException dropEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlException Handle :{0}", dropEx.ToString());
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}
The code for creating db:
public void createProjectDB()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
sqlStr = projectDBStrings.getDBCreateString();
try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlStr, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
System.Console.WriteLine("Database created!!!");
}
catch (Exception)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Could not establish Connection!");
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}
The code for creating Tables:
public void createProjectTables()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=XtmsDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
ArrayList createList = projectDBStrings.fillProjectSchema();
SqlTransaction tx;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("", conn);
IEnumerator createListEnum = createList.GetEnumerator();
try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");
try
{
while (createListEnum.MoveNext())
{
sqlStr = (String)createListEnum.Current.ToString();
tx = conn.BeginTransaction();
cmd.CommandText = sqlStr;
cmd.Transaction = tx;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
tx.Commit();
}
System.Console.WriteLine("Schema created!!!");
}
catch (SqlException deleteEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlException Handle :{0}", deleteEx.ToString());
}
}
catch (SqlException connectionEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlConnection Handle : {0}", connectionEx.ToString());
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}

Hello all,
I need to restore my database and I keep getting a database in use error. Can someone tell me the easiest way to drop all connections to a database and open it exclusively?
Also, I'm not sure where this connection is coming from, there is another database on the same machine that has user connected, can these connections be the problem?
Thanks

I am trying to delete a database that currently subscribes for replication. The problem however, is that the publishing server no longer exists and I can't disable the subscription therefore I can't drop the database. When I try to disable the replication the server tries to communicate with the old server. Is there anyway to force the dropping of the database or to force the server to disable replication.
thanks in advance

I have managed to successfully connect to another SQL Server instance using a linked server.
I can then do my select statement like this: select * from [servernameinstancename].[databasename].[databaseowner].[tablename]
I just wanted to know how I can drop the database on the other instance?I have tried doing: DROP DATABASE [servernameinstancename].[databasename].
Does anyone have a script that will iterate through a database and drop all objects in order of dependencies? I need a way recreate all objects in database through SQL script in a development environment without having to recreate the actual database. Therefore I need a way to clear out the current database objects first without running into a problem with dependencies. This needs to be dynamic so that if a object is added, it is automatically included in the drop scripts.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWith some performance issues faced as I checked on Google came across Paul Randal's article on Logging & Recovery: URL...In this regard, and with some schema changes required, ended up with a decision to drop and re-create a database. What are the proper way to do the same and following queries:
A) What would be the recommended way to shift data from some tables of former database to that of the newer one (The latter ones created with the Script Table transaction)?
B) Would a simple Drop Database completely delete the former database completely and clean up the memory (database pages etc.) or I need to take some additional steps for clearing up the space?
C) Most of the data tables have been updated via loading the Bulk Insert commands time to time from CSV/flat files. Could that be somehow the cause of enlarging the the size of Database and Log?
Why in the hell doesn't SQL Server provide a facility for dropping anactive connection on an attached database in SQL Server Managementconsole? I can't detach an attached database because apparently thereis an active connection.I know you can use SSEUTIL but it seems like kluge for a poorlythought out function.Crazy
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,A while back I dropped a text column from a SQL Server 7 databaseroughly 3GB in size. I expected the size of the database to decreaseby around 1GB, but no change occurred. After searching usenet, Idiscovered that SQL Server 7 has no way of reclaiming that space, butthat there is some command that can be run in SQL Server 2000 thatwill reclaim it.I have since migrated this database to SQL Server 2000, and am nowtrying to figure out what that command is, but cannot locate anyusenet posts about it... also tried searching books online, but can'tfind anything that way either.Does anyone know what I should run?Thanks,Tom
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a database consisting of two main tables and 12 sub tables.
This was leading to increase in database size. So we thought of storing the sub tables data in the main tables in form of xml in a column of varchar(2000) type.
So we created a new database that only had 2 tables and we stored the data of the sub tables in the new column of the main table.
Surprisingly we saw that the database size increased rather than decreasing .
Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
hi there,
After replicating a database, the stored procedures in that same database are not able to edit by other users than service account (sys admin users), When the normal users try to edit any of the stored procedures, sql server 2005 is throwing the following error...
Msg 21050, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 12Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role or db_owner fixed database role can perform this operation. Contact an administrator with sufficient permissions to perform this operation.
any suggessions are most welcome.

EMERGENCY 911 HELP PLEASE
Ok I created a database SQL is the engine and Access XP is the gui. When the users try to access the databae they get error message, it opens up but they cant open the forms for some reason. I was wondering if this had to do with me have Access XP and them having Access 2000, but I highly doubt it because when I had a user log on to my machine (which has access xp) they still were not able to access the forms. Can someone help me out PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... this is so frustrating :(
One thing I'm noticing is that the users connection keeps dropping???
Hi, guys
I has a question for you:
How can i Export the users and permisions and restore it again?
Thanks in advance
I have a number of user databases who have lost their owner. That is, displaying properties for the database says the owner is unknown.
I assume that any user for such a database that's assigned to the db_owner role can admin everything in this database? Which means that the lack of a dbo doesn't cause any other problem than making it impossible to run a sp_helpdb for the database, or...?
Of course I'd like to make someone the owner, but it seems difficult to make an already existing database user the owner, without dropping the user and re-creating it.
Hi,
I looked everywhere in System Stored Procedure docs for MSDE 2005 and I cant find a stored procedure that will force logout users from a database.
Is there such a thing? If not, is there another way?

Ok I just installed SQl 2005 for the very first time. I used a service account(domain admin)and Windows NT authentication to install SQL.
Now I am setting up Mcafee EPO on a different server. This application can either install MSDE or use a sql database. I want to use my new SQL server.
What are the best practices to :
a)create database on SQL
b)create a user
c)what permissions to give this user
For example during installation of Mcafee EPO it is asking me name of the remote SQL server, authentication method(Windows or SQL)and the user account.
I am starting to read about SQL but need some quick answers. I need to do the same thing for my SMS 2003 installation. Thanks.
Hi
As a newbie to DBA type tasks, how can I trace who has accessed the server/database. I know there is a SPID in the Server log but what does this represent?
Thanks!
I am an advanced user of MS Access and other databases but relatively new to SQL Server. I am utilizing SQL Server Express to analyze a database that was created by another entity. I am interested in looking at any specific record in any table and seeing who created that record, what date/time the record was created, who edited the record, when that edit occurred, etc. I don't see any such fields in the database. Would the designer of the database have to have explicitly added such functionality, or is this information available but just hidden from the novice's view?
Thanks for your help.
Alrighty.... I'm a long time listener and a first time caller here.
I've been reading multiple topics dealing with my issue but none seem to really address what I'm doing.
We have 3 separate enviroments, Dev, QA, and Prod. Quite frequently we have a database that gets moved from our Dev Server to QA, or QA to Prod, or Prod to QA ect...
What we have been doing is when a database is moved, it holds all of the actual database logins, but when you look within the actual server logins there's nothing there (dealing w/ that specific database). So we then have to go first through all of our logins on the database write them down, then go one by one and create them on the server.
I'm wondering if there is a more simple way to be doing this to cut down on our administration time?
3/4 of our ID's on the database are all linked through our Domain using windows authentication. And since we keep all of our "application/local SQL ID's" enviromentally separate. (each ID XXX has its own ID for Dev, QA and Prod... XXXdev, XXXqa, and XXXprod) so we'll have to do those manually anyways, but I'm really hoping someone has a solution to this timely administration process!
Thanks for all of your help!
