I am converting a relatively large multi-user Access 97 database to
SQL Server 2000. I use about a dozen groups to manage security,
providing graduated levels of access to each group. I read that in
SQL Server a user can belong to only two groups, "users" and one
other. If this is true, can someone point me in the right direction
as to how I could get around this limitaion?
Thanks,

Hi,
This is regarding permission issue in windows-authenticated sql server 2000.
I have two NT groups namely A & B.
Groups A has all permissions on SQLDB1 while group B has all on SQLDB1 and SQLDB2.
Since I dont want B to have INS/UPD/DEL rights on SQLDB1, I revoked those permissions for B on the same. But users belonging to both groups suffer INS/UPD/DEL rights on SQLDB1.
Could anyone help please ?
Thanks in advance.
I am having a problem with permissions using Windows groups. I have a database (database1) that has permissions granted via Windows groups. Two groups (group1 and group2) are members of the db_datareader role in database1, and this work fine. Do to the number of tables that get created during our work, using db_datareader is the easiest way to keep up with permissions without creating a maintenance problem. Now I have a table that I want to add to this database, but I only want group2 to have select permission on this one table which is a problem because group1 has the db_datareader role. So I thought I could create a view in this database to the restricted table that I put in database2. Then in database2 I only added group2 as a user with the permission to select from this table. Unfortunately the group membership does not seem to get interpretted correctly in database2 and no one can successfult select from the view in database1.
In other words, user1 who belongs to group1 connects to database1 and cannot select from the restricted view -- this is what I would expect. However, when user2 who belongs to group2 connects to database1 they also cannot select from the restricted view -- not the behvior I would expect. Now, if I make user2 a user in database2 with select on the restricted table then user2 can connect to database1 and successfuly get data from the restricted view. So it looks like the fact that user2 belongs to group2 is never passed to database2 via the select from the view on database1. Is this indeed the way that Windows group security is working or is meant to work in SQL Server?
I realize I could solve this simplified version of the problem by creating my own role in database1 for group1 etc., but I am trying to solve a bigger problem in our environment that has hundreds of databases across numerous servers.
Thanks

Hi
installing sql express sp1 on SBS Win 2000 box
It's up to database services, and then fails - i've tried this a number of times.
The message box says "The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The code is 2380. Error opening file for write. GetLastError: SoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup"
The admin account did not have full admin privileges for this key and subkey- why ?
I was installing under the domain administrator account....
I fixed this, and now the latest error is as follows from the log

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new SQL 2005 (SP2) Reporting Services server to which I've just upgraded and deployed some SSRS 2000 reports.
I have a subreport that contains a matrix with two groups. The report data seems to be inexplicably repeating the data for the first row in the group for all rows in the group. Example:
ID1

Is this a matrix bug in 2005 SP2, or do I need to do something differently? I can no longer pull a comparison version from an SSRS 2000 server to verify, but I believe it was working as expected before...
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

If you have a SAN, is there any real benefit to breaking out large tables into file groups?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Attendance table named say Attendance which has Class and Status along with some other fields.Class will have the name of the class the student is in,whereas the status will have the Absent/Present data.There is another table named say ClassMaster which is the master which will have all the classnames and there is a column of ClassTeacher which will have the EmployeeCode.This employeeCode comes from a table EmployeeMaster.My requirement is i want to get the count of Absent students in Attendance table depending on the Class.For Example if there are two class say ClassA and ClassB,then i should get the count of the Students from Attendance table that belong to Class A and Class B.How cn i do this in one Query.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking to find out when to use file groups when backing up. When should you use this, what's the benefit over just doing a full db backup? Is it better when you are dealing with large db's?
Also this question has been on my mind for a while. Why shouldn't you shrink the db after every full backup? What is the negative in doing so?
Thanks

In my report I have 3 row groups and two column groups as follows, where measure is number of hours for a given project.
2008/05 2008/06 ........
Demand | Allocated Demand | Allocated
- Project 1 1500 1000
- Department1 500 400
- Employee1 200
- Employee2 200
- Department2 1000 600
- Employee3 300
- Employee4 300
+ Project 2 1200 1000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand Total 2700 2000
My question is, is this possible using a Matrix? I have used matrix in some of my reports but have always used automatic/generic SUM feature it provides.
Note carefully that there are no values for Employees in Demand Column Group. Basically I would have to SUM Department groupings to get the Project level total and then SUM all Project Groupings to get the grand total. The Allocation column is okay since the Employees have values in that column. Can this be done using InScope( ) or some other function rather than simply doing the Generic SUM of Rows and Columns of the matrix which would probably throw error when trying to sum a blank value in demand column.
Thanks in advance.
How do I put information only at the top of a page and have it change whenever a group occurs.
I want to do something like this. Have this on the top of every page:
Country: current country
State: current state
City: current city
There is a group on country, state and city. Whenever city changes the next page will display a new city. Whenever state changes the next page will display the new state in the header.
I have already put Country, State, and City into their own group headers. However, if either of them change in the middle of the page then the group header repeats. I have group header repeat on so I can see it on each page. If I choose the Page break at start then it breaks but I don't want it to break. I want it to run on the same page if it passes a group and then have the next page display relevant information for the group.
Putting it in the table header works as far as keeping them all on the top of the page but it doesn't change when a grouping ends.
Please assist me in anyway you can.
Thanks,
Sarah
I have my first SSRS report going, after years on Crystal and Access. It has several groups, each nested within the next...I think. I'm having a little trouble with the groups...well, grouping the way I thought I had it set up. The groups come out looking like my primary group is second instead of first, although when I look at the groups in "edit groups" it appears I have them set up correctly.
In Crystal, on the preview page you could see the groups idendified so if there was a problem in a report you could tell what group it was coming from. You could also select and change objects in preview, which made it nice to see the impact of changes. I cannot see either of these features in SSRS. I'm hoping that there's a setting I need to turn on, and also hoping that this product has these user friendly features. Any ideas on that?
Also, in Crystal, when you set up a group or a formula, it became available in the field list within the formula builder, so you could use them by picking them instead of typing the whole thing in again, and that's not available either. Or I can't find it!
Since I'm new to SSRS maybe there are features and settings I haven't found yet, but would appreciate any comments from more experienced users about the overall usability of this tool.
Thanks!
Is there any way to keep a table group together. MSFT says no but I can't believe this limitation exists. It's a basic reporting function in any reporting software I've used.
I have one group in a table. I don't want the detail rows to be split when it gets to the bottom of the page.

I'm wondering if there is any way in RS to create what Crystal reports calls Custom or Named Groups. This functionality allows you to define groups based on the values found in one of the fields on your report. For example, if I were grouping on a person's last name and I want 3 groups based on the first letter: A-G, H-P, Q-Z. I would want to keep it contained in one table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a challenging report to create. I need to create a report where I'll have groups then I need to have a ceiling on the group to print only 10 records (if there are more than 10 records) then go to the next page and print the final records for that group. I can do the grouping and I can do the ceiling, but I am having a hard time doing both. I'm open for any suggestions.

Hi everyone,
While creating our database in only one disc(C or D), suppose that we create more than one file group in order to group our data files. However, in this situation; I wonder that whether it brings any benefit or advantage to us.
Also, I wonder that why we always have to put our data file into separate file group if we use separate discs for data files. Is not it allowed to use only one file group even if we use separate dics ?
Would you explain these to me ?
Thanks
Hello,
in a report in Reporting Services 2005 I want to create a top count 100 for groups.
I have a report sheet with a table containing some groups.
Under the groupings there are other groupings and so on.
Now I want that only the top 100, ordered by a value on group level of the 1st group are contained in the report.
Any ideas?
Best regards,

Is it possible that i can create a SQL Server Group in sql 2005. Eg. in 2K when u right click (in Enterprise manager) on Microsoft Sql servers you can see "New Sql server Group". I am talking about this group. I have many servers in NYC and Dallas and in VA. I want to group them in the group names NYC DAL VA. is it possible.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of updating my SQL monitoring application to use Service Broker.
Right now I loop through my list of servers performing various checks on each server. Things like 'check last database backup', 'check for new databases', 'check for server restart'. I loop through, one server at a time, doing one check at a time. The more servers I have the longer it is taking.
So, I want to multi-thread the servers, but single-thread the checks on each individual server. This way I can check say, 5 servers at a time, but on each server I will only do one check at a time. This way I won't flood an individual server with multiple checks.
Is this possible? It looks like Conversation groups might be the way to go but I'm not sure.
I'm having some troubles with conversation groups. I need to send two messages on the same conversation group so I have the following in my SP....
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @providerConversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [ProviderDataService]
TO SERVICE 'CalculatedDataService'
ON CONTRACT [ProviderDataContract]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF
, LIFETIME = 600;
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @curveConversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [ProviderDataService]
TO SERVICE 'CalculatedDataService'
ON CONTRACT [ProviderDataContract]
WITH RELATED_CONVERSATION = @providerConversationHandle
, ENCRYPTION = OFF
, LIFETIME = 600;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @providerConversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [ProviderDataMessage] ( @providerMessage );
SEND ON CONVERSATION @curveConversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [ProviderCurveMessage] ( @curveMessage );
When I query the queue I see two messages, but they don't have the same conversation_group_id.
Any ideas?

I know how to hide groups using Expressions that use parameters that can be passed in, but can you hide groups that are inside other groups. Here is my situation. Our company has different organization levels. On reports the users want to select which organization levels they want to see the #s for. So I set up groups for each org level like so....
Org Level 1
Org Level 2
Org Level 3
The data results are like so
Org Level 1 Org Level 2 Org Level 3 Category $ Amount
USA Midwest Kansas 1 500.00
USA Northeast Maine 1 200.00
And I sum the $ Amount Per Category for each Org Level using grouping in the report.
Then based on the selections they make it hides the org levels they don't need to see. The issue is that the report will not show org level 2 or org level 3 if org level 1 is not visible, and org level 3 can't be visible if org level 2 isn't visible, etc.....Anyone know a solution to this situation, I know this has had to have come up.
Thanks,

I am having a bit of trouble with the sorting of grouped data.
I have a data set that returns sales data for stock items between a user specified date range. As a result I have to group by the stock items (description or code depending on a parameter value) to prevent displaying duplicate stock items and to get aggregate sales data. However I also need to be able to sort this group by three other aggregates but have not been successful. I have done the following:
The group expression is as follows:
Function Group4(fields As Fields) As String
Dim Group As String
If( Report.Parameters!ReportSetting_ReportType.Value <> "1" AndAlso Report.Parameters!ReportSetting_DetailSummary.Value = "1" ) Then
Group = fields!Group2Desc.Value
Else
If Report.Parameters!ReportSetting_SortType.Value = "1" Then
Group = fields!StockDesc.Value
Else
Group = fields!StockCode.Value
End If
End If
Return Group
End Function
The sort expression for this group is as follows:
=Sum(Code.SortExpressionNumeric(Fields), "table1_Group4")
where SortExpressionNumeric is as follows:
Function SortExpressionNumeric(fields As Fields) As Decimal
Select Case Report.Parameters!ReportSetting_SortType.Value
Case "3"
Return fields!TillSalesValue.Value
Case "4"
Return fields!TillSalesQty.Value
Case "5"
Return GrossProfit(fields)
Case Else
Return 0
End Select
End Function
where GrossProfit is another function that returns a decimal value.
When I preview my report with ReportSetting_SortType = 1 or 2 everything displays as expected. However when I set ReportSetting_SortType = 3,4 or 5 the data does not sort how I need it to.
Can anybody see what I might be doing wrong?

The following SQL works on Access and Oracle to return the number of
Groups(Rows) of the SQL. In MS-SQL this SQL is not valid. What is the

from ORDERS WHERE OrderID < 123456 GROUP BY ShipRegion )
