Hi,
How can I encrypt / decrypt whole database (data, objects ... everything) in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?
Quick solution from any champion of Databases would be highly entertained.
Waiting ..
Thanks a lot.
Is there any way by which a SQL Server database can be encrypted.
Regrads
I have been tasked with encrypting an entire database, and I need some assistance.
Everything that I have looked at leads me to believe that the only way to encrypt a whole database is to encrypt each column seperatly. I am completely stumped and could really use some help.
Is it possible to encrypt a whole database? if so, how?
If not, what other options do I have?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Is it possible to encrypt Master database and tempdb? On executing below query result is showing temdb is encrypted.
SELECT db_name(database_id), encryption_state, percent_complete, key_algorithm, key_length
FROM sys.dm_database_encryption_keys
I have a database that is the publisher in transactional replication and also part of an availability group. I have put the pertinent certificates on all of the involved servers, and it is encrypted on all servers and operated as expected. However, we are adding additional security for personal data and we have targeted columns in multiple tables for column encryption. I have a master key and certificates that are stored in the master database. Following an example where I am to create the database master key:
-- Create database Key
USE encrypt_test;
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Password123';
GO
But when I try to create a certificate on the database:
-- Create self signed certificate
USE encrypt_test;
GO
CREATE CERTIFICATE Certificate1
WITH SUBJECT = 'Protect Data';
GO
It get the following:
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find the certificate 'Certificate1', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Can I add a database certificate to an already TDE enabled database and if not to I create the symmetric key through the certificate located on the master database? And how will that effect decrypting the column values in stored procedures and function on the user database?
how can i copy a complete database (tables, views, stored procedures) with/in the sql server 2005 "server mgm. studio". the import/ export function only copys the data (tables).
sql server 2000 had a nice tool for that (import/ export data). but how can i do that with the sql server 2005. can't find anything ...
Hello all! A while ago I started cataloging my collection of old radio recordings and I wrote a simple Visual Basic 2005 program to display them in a nice UI. I have implemented an SQL database with the project and all is fine, when I run the program it connects to the sql server and downloads the data. But when I try and change something by connecting from within Visual Basic at runtime with this code:
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click
Dim ConnectionString As New SqlConnection("Server=MARK-HOMESQLEXPRESS;Database=Library.mdf;Uid=MARK-HOMEMark;Pwd=sodoff;")
Dim sqlString As String
ConnectionString.Open()
sqlString = "UPDATE JackBenny SET Rating='Excellent' WHERE [Episode Number]=" & epNumber
ConnectionString.BeginTransaction(sqlString)
ConnectionString.Close()
End Sub
I get this error code in the log and a general unable to login error within Visual basic itself:
2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.
2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Login failed for user 'Mark'. [CLIENT: <local machine>
The state of 5 refers to "User ID is not valid." but I can login to SQL Server Management Studio Express just fine with the username and password in the code posted. Also of note, I can login to the Server Managment with the sa account username and password. When I use the credentials in visual basic code, same error. Any ideas? I am trying to connect to a database which is on this computer (local) in the root folder of the application, called Library.mdg.
Thanks so much all
Hello,
I want to truncate all tables present in the particular database, Is there any simple way to do it? or do I have to do it on individula basis (table by table)?
regards
A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server 2005 developer. To pave the way for this I removed SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Express. Since then I've been unable to connect from any of my applications or websites in Visual Studio 2005 to either:- my new 2005 Developer database engine- my colleagues 2005 developer database engine. My colleague can connect to my databases from his visual studio on his machine. I am receiving unspecified OleDb errors.Anyone else had this happen? Anyone know where I should start looking? I've uninstalled all .Net frameworks and re-installed 1.1 and 2.0.Many thanks, Sam

I need to move all of the contents of one database into anther with the same schema, and it looks like this might be just what I need. But it is from 2007, so I wonder if it is still current?
Also, having tried to run it on another database to generate the script that will actually do the copying, I have a few questions. It looks like it generates statements to import the data twice. For example:
BULK INSERT [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
FROM 'C:Tempi1.Dat'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:Tempi1.FMT',
BATCHSIZE = 1000000,
ERRORFILE = 'C:TempBI_i1.ERR',
TABLOCK);
And a little later:
INSERT INTO [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Tempi1.Dat',
FORMATFILE='C:Tempi1.Xml'
) as t1;
That does not really make any sense to me. It also generates statements like this:
bcp "[TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[GDB_GEOMNETWORKS]" format nul -n -CRAW -f "C:TempGDB_GEOMNETWORKS.fmt" --S"PGALLUCC-M7" -T
What is the deal with the double hyphen by the servername? Won't it just see that as a comment? It can be easily fixed, but I am just suprised that it is still there after all these years. My purpose in doing this is a desparate attempt to salvege a database that sits on a server with multiple drive errors. These prevent backups, so I cannot just restore the database on the new server. That is why I want to try an approach that goes table by table, so that at least all the tables which are not touched by the drive errors can be moved.
It is a 3 TB database running on SQL Server 2008 R2 std. ed.
Backup failed to complete the command backup database [ ] TO VIRTUAL DEVICE = ' { 853D3FC0 - 45EA -85B1 - 54F0EA379CAC } 24 ' WITH SNAPSHOT , BUFFERCOUNT = 1 , BLOCKSIZE = 1024

I am calling my rports from the server useing URL method.I need to encript this URL please help me.
I have an application that has stores sensitive data in an SQL server and I am currently handling this through my ASP.NET application using the encryption classes in C#.
One of the things we would eventually like to be able to do is use other programs (like Microsoft Access) to run advanced Querys on the tables and retrive the data. With the encyption being done in C#/ASP all that would be returned would be the encrypted data.
I wondering if there is a way to build a layer to encrypt/decrypt data at the database level, my searches haven't yeiled to much info (As well as a trip to Borders) as I haven't seen any books that even touch on this.
I don't know a lot about SQL right now (Mainly only MySQL so Stored Procs and all that stuff are really new to me) so I don't know if I would go about it this way or not? (Using a stored procedure)
Can anyone reccommened where I should start to learn about accomplishing this? Books are usually the best help but I'll take any kind of information that can be thrown my way :-)
Thanks!

Hi,
I have creating a stored procedure in sql server 2005 to encrypt a parameter value that comes from an asp.net page. this value is of type varchar.
Now i have declared a paramater as varbinary to accept this value in the stored procedure. And encrypting it using symmetric key which is encrypted by certificate.
Now when i enter a value into the textbox in asp.net page. it shows
"implicit conversion from varchar to varbinary not possible" pls tell me what is the solution? do i have to convert the value in vb code while accessing the value of the textbox or do i have to convert the value while passing the value when call stored procedure.
pls tell me the solution so that i don't jave to change any coding in vb.
some solution in sql server itselt.
Thank you

I have a bunch of packages that I was working with on a development server and have now moved to a production server. The package protection level was set to DoNotSaveSensative during the development, when I loaded them onto the production server I changed the protection level to EncryptAllWithPassword. I have a few parent packages that call other packages using the execute package task. Since, I now have encrypted packages i had to supply this task with the password, that is where the problem started. The parent package fails when it tries to execute the child package, saying the password was not supplied or it is wrong. I assure you it is not wrong, so is the parent package not storing the password since it was created with no password? Next I created a new parent package and supplied it with a password to call the child package and it works fine. Do I have to recreate all of my parent packages in this way? Is there a way for the parent package to rebuild itself and store the password? Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to encrypt a column, and then do a select and decrypt the results.
I believe that I am encrypting the data properly, but whenever I try and do a select the column comes back as NULL.
If I do a select without trying to decrypt the column (select * from table) I get the following:
Name | Dept | Encrypted_Info
-----------------------------------------------
scott | it | 0x38383131
If I try and decrypt it I get this
Name | Dept | Encrypted_Info
-----------------------------------------------
scott | it | NULL
This is the query that I put together to create the database, table, DB Master Key, Cert, encrypt the column, and then select and decrypt the result:
create database QA_Encrypted
Go
create table QA_Encrypted.dbo.Enc_Table1
(UserName varchar(50),
Dept varchar(50),
Encrypted_Info varbinary(MAX))
Go
use QA_Encrypted
Go
if not exists (select * from sys.symmetric_keys where symmetric_key_id = 101)
create Master Key encryption by password = 'Pa55w0rd'
Go
Create Certificate QACert
with subject = 'Certificate for Testing'
Go
Create symmetric Key QAEncryptionKey with Algorithm = DES
Encryption by certificate QACert
Go
open symmetric key QAEncryptionKey decryption by certificate QACert
update QA_Encrypted.dbo.Enc_Table1 set Encrypted_Info = EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('QAEncryptionKey'), 'AUTHENTICATOR')
Go
use QA_Encrypted
insert into dbo.enc_table1 values ('scott', 'it', Convert(varbinary,'8811'))
OPEN Symmetric Key QAEncryptionKey
Decryption by CERTIFICATE QACert
select * from dbo.Enc_Table1
Select Username, Dept, Convert(varchar, DecryptByKey(Encrypted_Info)) as "decrypted"
from dbo.Enc_Table1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Does anyone know where there is a good summary of what you can do to encrypt data going between SQL Server and it's clients, and for that matter any other security things you can do with SQL Server ? I've been asked to write a document on this for someone and quite frankly I've got too much proper work to do...

What is the problem with this code. It works fine , inserting the value encrypted but when i try to decrypt ,it returns a null value. What is missing. I also tried with symmetric key encryption with asymmetric key. Result is same, returns NULL value. I am using SQL 2005
Happy Coding...
I want to store a function in SQL Server database that when called during insertion, encrypts a value and then stores encrypted text in the column.
