I want to configure SQL 2k5 Express so that all connections are
encrypted. I've found the documentation that gives the How-To steps,
but I don't see the SSL option in the Network Configuration.
Is this possible with the Express edition?
Do I need to do something special with the installation?
Thanks,

I am connection to a SQL server that has force protocol encryption checked. From my ASP.net application, specifically in my connection string, what parameter do I need to use to take advantage of this encryption?
Thanks!
I have a SQL Server 2012 Standard and needed to fulfill a requirement to set Force Encryption on the Server with a DoD Certificate.
I will be altering my client connections to use Encrypt=True; TrustServerCertificate=True (The client is a .Net Web Application).
The OS is where SQL Server 2012 Standard resides is Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter Service Pack 1 64-bit.
What I am needing to know is where do I get the DoD Certificate from? and Do I just install it on the server where SQL Server resides?
Hi,
i've enabled the certification authentication login i use SQL 2K5 ENT
my problem is like that: in the client network utility i check the Force protocol encryption and connect
to the server the client can't connect because he doesn't have the certificate install on his machine which it's OK.
the problem is when i remove the Force protocol encryption on the client he connect successfully without the
certificate install on his machine or any thing.
i double check that on the server i've YES on the Force Encryption in the protocols For MSSQLSERVER.
why is that???

Hi,
I am at a loss here, unless I misunderstand the whole point about server encryption. My 2005 SQL server has a certificate from a trust CA, I have turned on the 'force encryption' flags on the server. My understanding is any client will be "force" to connect with encryption?? I found out that unless I turn on encryption on my clients, the server will allow connections without the requiring encryption. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I would like to force only certain users on certain databases to use encrypted connections for accessing our 2005 SQL Server. I've found a clunky way to do it, via registering a login event notification and using the kill statement. However, that's ugly, and I don't think there is any guarantee that the event will always fire before an evil client could get off a few evil commands. Is this supported, or is the only supported feature the forceencryption option, which is server-wide?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a customer who is looking to encrypt their applications connection to the back-end SQL server. I've gotten a valid certificate for the server from a trusted CA, and it's installed on the server (shows up in Personal certificates in the Certificate MMC when selecting the computer) and I can choose it in the drop down on the certificates tab of the SQL Network protocols properties in Configuration Manager.
Now, my question: If I select the certificate but do NOT enable the "Force Encryption" option, the client will be able to request encryption on their end, and the connection will then be encrypted. If the client (other applications) do NOT request encryption, they will still be able to connect, but their connection will be un-encrypted. URL....
Lastly, I could've swore I had found some information indicating that some methods of establishing a connection to SQL can fail when Force Encryption is enabled, as the method doesn't support SSL encryption.
I am accessing a SQL2005 Express SP1 Server via TCP/IP (all machines fully up to date with windows update). For ease of configuration the Server IP is mapped to an Alias in Native Client Configuration Manager. On the Client Force Protocol Encryption is set to Yes and Trust Server Certificate is set to No. The clients are accessing the DB via SQL 2005 Management studio express and Ms Access 2003 (an access adp front end to the sql database).
As a test i turned off force encryption on the server. A Network trace shows no encryption! Turning on force encryption on the server corrects this.
As a further test I configured the server with a certificate the client doesn't trust. No error is generated by the un-trusted certificate! The only way to generate the certificate error is to enable encryption in the connection properties of each application. Why isn't the Native Client Configuration Manager utility enforcing this???
This brings me on to a second (off-topic problem). In my access adp file, if I enable €œuse encryption for data€? advanced option under the database connection dialog all works as expected (encryption + certificate verification). However, I am programmatically updating the connection in VBA
Application.CurrentProject.OpenConnection "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=AliasName;Use Encryption for Data=True;..."
If I do this no encryption is enabled!!! Access seems to just ignore the encryption statement.
Has anybody got any ideas as to why either of these issues are occurring or if there are any workarounds?
Thanks

I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
                    WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.

Id like to know how I force the transaction log to shrink in v2000?
I have sp_force_shrink_log but this only works in v7.
... Also, how do I set the log to truncate on checkpoint?

How to force the primary key for a table to begin at a set Primary Id and not standard count (1,2,3,4,5..10,11,12) etc.
Pretty much how to force it being on number I would like to begin.
Hi All
Forgive my ignorance. I have been told you cannot run a force restore without SQL Agent running? Is that so?
Also, is it possible to execute a force restore from a command line. If so, how would you go about do this.
I ask these questions because recently our database and MSBD files became corrupted and couldn't restore them in the normal way. Had to manually rebuild MSDB file.
Thanks
I have a script or SP that takes a very long time to performmultiple tasks, and after each one there is a PRINT statementthat shows the time and what was just accomplished, to help memonitor what's happening and estimate how long it will take.In a script, I can put a GO after each PRINT to cause the outputto appear immediately, but that's not possible inside an SP.Instead, it seems the output goes to a buffer, and the bufferis only output when a PRINT causes the buffer to become full.Sometimes there is a long delay before the buffer fills. Isthere a way other than GO to cause immediate printing? (Iguess I could just use longer messages, and fill up thebuffer with every one, but that's not very elegant.)Thanks,Jim GCountrywide Home Loans

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
My data flow has several transformations:
1. Search an employee, if the employee already exists, update it, otherwise insert it.
2. Once the new employee is created, i have to get its id (with another search transformation )to update another table with it. This id is an autonumeric , thats the reason i have to get it once the record is inserted.
At this momment this second search transformation to get the assigned id for the new reacord doesnt find any employee... i suppose its because these new data is not commited in the database....
the question is, Its possible to force a commit?
Thanks!
I have a application that runs non-parameterized queries against SQL, that are filling my proc cache. The most common one is like the below:
Code Snippet
DELETE FROM Item_Temp WHERE SessionID = '1232345'
The numeric value of the SessionID changes for every time it runs. How do I force parameterization of this without changing the application code?
I have a report that has multiple graphs on it. I would like to force a page break (new page) in between the different reports causing a report to be generated on it own page. Im assuming that Im missing something here because it seems like a easy/usable feature. Any help would be great.

I have a package that goes out and picks up a file off of a ftp server using the ftp task. How do I force the package to stop running if the file is not there?
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there would be any special way to force drop a database from an ASP.NET page.
When I try to do it in the normal way, it gives me an exception like: Cannot drop the database 'xxxxxxx' because it is currently in use. I'would have to wait until there is a timeout.
In fact that database can be accessed from another pages, but I want to know if I'd be able to force drop database even when another pages are using it.
Thanks in advance
I have a DTS package in which I would like it to fail if the table is empty. I would like to create the first task as this check (i.e. select @cnt = count(*) ... if @count = 0 then fail the task (to prevent further DTS Task processing.
Does anyone have an example or suggestion on how to set this particular Execute SQL Task to fail?
Thank You

I created a view from a table with out any where clause. All the rows from the table will be in the view with some extra info.
The table has a few indexes.
In my stored procedure I am storing two columns from the table ( IdHi , IdLo - primary key ) into a temp table and joining the temp to the view.
Here the query is taking too much time and not using the index. Can I force the primary key index on View?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to force a SSIS step to fail? I don’t want to export a file if no records were written.
I found this but not quite sure how to implement it:
To do this, double-click on the connector line joining 2 of your
ExecuteSQL tasks and change the "Evaluation operation:" to any of the
options that include "Expression". This enables you to enter a
boolean expression that must evaluate to true for the path to be
followed. Assuming you've got an int parameter called "sp1rtnvalue"
which must evaluate to 1 for the flow to continue; your expression
would be: @sp1rtnvalue == 1
Am I suppose to define a @sp1rtnvalue in the stored procedure that creates the file I want to monitor? Do a record count in the stored procedure. In my pkg I enter the expression @sp1rtnvalue == 1 when I run that step the expression will evaluate to false and fail?
If so where exactly do I enter the Boolean expression (@sp1rtnvalue == 1) , what tab in what dialog/wizard??
I hope that made sense.
Thank you
I have a complex query (16 table join) that until five days ago took 30sec to run. It now takes eight hours. I restored a backup of thedatabase from five days ago and the query plans are completelydifferent for the same exact query. Five days ago the final estimatedrow count is 1.6M now it is 1.7E+10 OUCH! The amount of data added inthose five days is insignificant (percentage wise). I rebuilt all theindexes using DBCC DBREINDEX with no change in the plan or results. Isthere anyway to save the query plan (from the backup) and run itagainst the new data?TIA,Tracy
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using some of the data mining capability in SQL 2005, and have been very impressed. But I've mostly been using decision trees/neural nets, and now have a problem that would seem to require clustering, but I'm not sure how to approach it...
Have list of parts by serial number and part number, and in a data cube have crunched a bunch of data to give me each parts' relative reliability.
So what I can do so far is to ask the cube "for a certain part number, which specific serial numbers are our 'bad actors'", ie have an unacceptably high failure rate compared to the average, by standard deviation.
The next logical question would be... what factors do these particular "bad" parts have in common? Environmental exposure, usage rates, a particular repair facility, etc etc. I have that type of raw data in other tables, no problem.
So what it seems like I would want to do is force a clustering algorithm to choose a certain segment of parts as a cluster and then use DM to determine what characteristics those parts share. Then we could see if there was any corrective action we could take, or whether we should just chuck those parts in the bin (if the DM didn't find any reasonable relationships between the parts). But I don't know enough about the clustering/association type DM to figure it out.
How does the group think I could approach this?

Hi,
I've got an IS package which reads a lot of records from a text file and loads that into the database. The text file has column such as Firstname, Lastname, phone number etc and same as the database table.
The problem:
IS works fine if I have the text file columns in the same order as the database columns but for example if have phone number in the place of firstname (in the text file) IS puts the phone numbers as firstname in the database and moves all the columns dow the order.
Is there anyway I could force IS to use the heading names in the text file and put it in the appropriate database columns?
Thanks guys...
Hi to all,
Im looking at the sql server log, and I see a strange behavior.

In some text boxes within the table header, I want to force the text to wrap. This would be comparable to using Alt+Enter in Excel. For example, the text box may read like this...
Customer
Install Date
but I want it to look like this...
Customer
Install
Date
Thanks.
If I do the query below, SQL Server does a table scan (thousands of rows) for fn_TestCol(), then evaluates the CONTAINS clause:
SELECT col1, col2
FROM myTable
WHERE CONTAINS((col1, col2), 'foo and bar')
AND fn_TestCol(col1) = 0
How can I force it to evaluate CONTAINS clause, which returns only a few rows, first? The best I've come up with is this:
SELECT sub.col1, sub.col2
FROM (
SELECT col1, col2
FROM myTable
WHERE CONTAINS((col1, col2), 'foo and bar')
) sub
WHERE fn_TestCol(sub.col1) = 0
It's much faster, but still not as fast as if I could just use the first query, but force SQL Server to evaluate CONTAINS first.
