Hello -
I am aware of the new password policies in SQL Server 2005, but I have not seen this yet. Can anyone please tell if it is part of the new software?
When a password has been reset, you can force the user to change it upon initial login?
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks,
David
Hi,
I reset user passwords on SQL Server 6.5 when users forget them. How can I do this without
using Enterprise Manager? Is there a stored procedure that I can call from iSQL?
Thanks,
girija
is there a standard for forcing a timeout on a stored procedure? id like to test the exception handling on an application that calls some stored procedures and cant think of a way to test a timeout that is reliable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd heard that upgrading SQL 05 to SP2 forced any databases at SQL 2000 compatibility (80) to SQL 2005 compatibility, but I can't find any documentation that says one way or the other.
Can anyone provide insight as to whether or not this is true?
Thanks,

I am having a problem with Cascading Parameters in a RS2005 SP2 report.
In the report the user selects the part # (param 1) based on the part number selected the
serial # list (param 2) is populated. This all works fine.
The problem is that when the user clicks on the View report button the report is generated and the part # stays the same but the serial # parameter is "reset". On the development box it gets reset to the last serial # on the list. When we deploy out to our production environment it gets reset to the first serial # in the list.
Is there a way to stop the serial # (param 2) from being reset and to have it stay to what the user selected.
Thanks.
Hi-
Whenever I apply a hotfix to my SQL 2005 install, the folder permissions on :Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL are always reset. Any reason why this happens? I have explicit permission set on that directory to allow our DBAs access as they are not admins on the server.
Thanks.

A few details first:
The report server is remote to the development server (VS 2003).
The web application that will be calling it is ASP.NET 2.0 and developed in VS 2005.
I have a couple of questions:
a: Can I link to the report from the web application using a basic Hyperlink control rather than using a ReportViewer control?
b: How can I force which format it opens in? Say I want it to be rendered as a PDF in one instance but at an XSL document in another.
Many thanks and kindest regards,

Hi all,
We have to support forced failover under certain scenarios. Whilst using 'ForceFailoverAndAllowDataLoss' work perfectly the database is not available for several minutes. The failover command returns very quickly, but the database enters a recovery/restore state and will not accept connections for up to 2 minutes.
Am I missing an additional step that would speed this up?
Many thanks,
Nick
I discovered that everytime I need to add a database to my backup Maintenance Plan, after I select the new database from the drop-down of databases, the Destination automatically resets back to a default location.
I'm assuming this is a bug that will be resolved at some point, but in the meantime, I need to see if there is a way I can deal with this permanently. I am not the only one adding databases to the backup routine so I can't verify that this setting is properly changed every time we have a new database (which is about once a week).
Thanks in advance.
I have query that calculate a running balance, but I need to reset that balance when it reaches 240. Then start calculating the balance again from that value. For instance, let's see we have the following table:
YearAmmount
200049.95
200179.92
200279.92
2003114.99
2004120.00
[Code] ....
If I run the following query to get the running balance:
SELECT Year,
Ammount,
SUM(Ammount) OVER(ORDER BY Year ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) AS RunningTotal
FROM _YearlyTotals
I get:
YearAmmountRunningTotal
200049.9549.95
200179.92129.87
200279.92209.79
2003114.99324.78
2004120.00444.78
[Code] ....
I'm looking to reset the Running Total if it reaches 240, and continue calculating from there: Something like this:
YearAmmountRunningTotalAdjustment
200049.9549.9549.95
200179.92129.870.00
200279.92209.790.00
2003114.99240.00-84.78
2004120.00240.00-120.00
[Code] ....
Here is the code to create the table and insert data:
CREATE TABLE _YearlyTotals(
[Year] int NULL,
Amount numeric(18, 2) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO _YearlyTotals([Year],Ammount) VALUES (2000,49.95)
INSERT INTO _YearlyTotals([Year],Ammount) VALUES (2001,79.92)
[Code] .....
Hi Folks,
I have a 3 tier app and want to build a dedicated network between the app server and it's DB server. Both machines have an interface on the main network and also an interface on the dedicated network. I want to force all the SQL traffic (or even all traffic if that is the only solution) between the app and it's SQL server onto the dedicated network......?
We're using SQL Server 2000.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers
On Visual Studio 2013 with SSDT for SQL Server 2014
I noticed something very strange.
I am viewing the package configuration selected option for a package:
Now, i just click on the - sign and then on the plus sign on the "Properties" branch. And the option is cleared:
The ONLY way i found not to mess everything is just to have ALL the options FULL expanded and THEN to select what i want.
The following objects are placed on the Report body of the Report pane of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services :
<textbox: expression1>
<textbox: expression2>
<table:table1 with at least 30 columns and 30 expressions>
<textbox: string1> - considered as the Title in the Footer section of the report
<texbox:string2> <textbox:expression3>
<textbox:string3> <textbox:expression4>
<textbox:string4> <textbox:expression5>
<textbox:expression6>
I can't find any explanation why is it string1 and string 2 of the footer section of my report displayed separately from the expression3 which is aligned on it and the rest of the object on the second page.
The expected design is that all Footer items should be displayed together of whether it is placed on the first page or on the last page.
As a workaround of this, I converted string 1 into an expression (Added = and enclosed the string with double quote).. As a result, all of the items in the Footer section are now placed together on the last page of the report.
I also remember one of the issue I encountered before where the Footer items where placed together on the first page and still have space at the bottom of the page, but then expression 6 is forced to display (alone) on the last page of my report.
I can't find any discussion related to this, I wish somebody could give me an idea why RS behaved like this.
Thanks in advance
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,

I put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)

FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r

This works but I don't get the headers in the file. How can I include the headers?
I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
I am building a website in Dreamweaver. I have tried and tried to get a connection to SQL 2005. Everything works on the web except the stuff that requires the use of my SQL tables. With OPEN_Conn ="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=master" I get an error at the bottom of my page saying this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Invalid authorization specification
When I add a password and ID to the string the pages become very slow and I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Using windows authentication when logging into SQL Server doesn't have a user id or password so maybe I just don't know what to put there. I have tried a mix of all the passwords and ID's I use on this computer. Do I even have to have the user ID and password and if not how do I fix the first error? All help appreciated.

Hello ,
Is is correct that the 'sa ' passoword is stored in one of the files of the SQL Server and is easily readable if the location of the file is known ?
If not , then is the password encrypted when i try to connect to the SQL server on the Internet ?
Thanks.

I am designing a DTS package which i need to update every so often to change the name of the source file(it's a text import). Every time that i change this, then click save, the DTS job begins to fail, with password errors. I put the password back in correctly( i still don't know why it gets lost in the first place), and click save - same result. this is getting tremendously frustrating, so i really appreciate any answers.

Is there anyway to "get in the backdoor" if you have installed SQLserver and assigned sa a password (no other users are set up with admin rights) and then forget what the password is.
In the online doc it says you have to reinstall SQL server....isn't there any other way to get in??? For instance in SYBASE you can log on to the console and "go thru the backdoor" and issue a command from there.
Please advise.
