I have this Visual Basic program that if you are already logged into the application, the program get the username and password automatically to run the program. If the user runs the program not logged into the application, the program prompts username and password.
I need to know the T-SQL statement that will get the username and password when the user is already logged into the application. Basically I have the username part but the password keeps coming back as NULL and will not allow program to run.
Please help.

Hi all,
I am using Administrator to log in the WinNT and I have just changed the password
of the Administrator. After that, I discover that I cannot use all function in the sql server.
Althougt the server is still running, I cannot open the database, login the security manager.
I have checked that the SQL Executive in NT service is assigned to local system account.
As you know, there is no place for inputting password. Where can I change the password
in order to let the function of sql server run again?
Thanks
I have a MSDE database running with my sharepoint portal and now i want to customize the portal with some pages built in webmatrix, but i am getting a huge problem. i just don't know what he MSDE password is. how may i find it out, change it or even break it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter installing WebMatrix on my computer, I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) in my computer, but I can't see MSDE on my Start menu. I am really new to this and don't know how to open MSDE, so I could work with it. Nothing displayed after I installed MSDE, such as the typical "Installation is complete."
Sorry for such a silly question, but please help me. How can I open MSDE from the Start menu. I have windows XP Home.
Any help or suggestions are truly appreciated.
I have spent megabucks buying a book called MSDE Bible and they have started the book by not telling how you create a database (with all the exact steps required so you can actually work with it. I find this highly unprofessional, and wonder if the authors David C Walls and Denise M Gosnell actually know anything about teaching. (One enormally teaches step 1 before step 2 where I come from - obviously not in some places). Anyway, later on in the book there is an example on creating a database.
My problem is that it does not work because I do not understand what is required in terms of security clearance / user names / passwords / user authority. (They also assume you know all about that too).
All I have done is installed MSDE 2000 Rel A and am now trying to use it. The only question I was asked during the install was to define a "Strong Password" and thats all.
I am now attempting to
1) Create a Database
2) Create a table with some fields
3) See if I can access the database
Now is that too much to ask ?
Here is the code that supposedly creates the database:
The problem is in the connect - something to do with security of some sort that is completely overlooked.
dim oMSDEserver
dim oDatabase
dim oDataFile
dim oLogFile
set oMSDEserver = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer")
set oDatabase = CreateObject("SQLDMO.Database")
set oDataFile = CreateObject("SQLDMO.DBFile")
set oLogFile = CreateObject("SQLDMO.LogFile")
oDatabase.Name = "scheduling"
oDataFile.Name = "sched_data"
oDataFile.PhysicalName = "c:mssql7datasched_data.mdf"
oDataFile.Size = 5
oLogFile.Name = "sched_log"
oLogFile.PhysicalName = "c:mssql7datasched_log.ldf"
oLogFile.Size = 3
oLogFile.MaximumSize = 50
oDatabase.Filegroups("PRIMARY").DBFiles.add(oDataFile)
oDatabase.TransactionLog.LogFiles.add(oLogFile)
oMSDEserver.connect "0kh2h","sa","" <<<<<< PROBLEM HERE
oMSDEserver.databases.add(oDatabase)
oMSDEserver.disconnect
I have not done anymore than install MSDE and run this code - what steps have I missed please ???
Please explain this simply for me.

I have installed the MSDE and use mixed mode authenticaton.
The SQL Server Agent will not start due to login failures.
Normally, I would use the Enterprise Manager Managment wizard to
correct the System Account and Connection Credentials.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this using OSQL?
Thanks
I have installed WebMatrix and MSDE and have been able to successfully make a connection from WebMatrix to MSDE. I am used to using SQL Server with Enterprise Manager but I do not have that available to me right now so I'm using MSDE instead. I followed the setup instructions on the WebMatrix tutorial and setup MSDE with an SA password. I would now like to change the password to something else. Is there a command that I can use to do that? There is no Enterprise Manager so I'm kind of stumped. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am a VB programmer and we have a VB application that uses Access as its db (~500MB mdb file) using DAO.
We want to upgrade to MSDE/Sql Server because we have clients that will use around 5 connections to the db and others with no more then 20 users.
I was asked to build a simple test program in Vb under MSDE that will
enable us to test few clients working simultaneously (I have few days for that).
There is so much material on MSDE and we just ordered an MSDE Developer
guide book from the Amazon that will arrive in a few days.
The amount of material is confusing like hell and I didn't work with ADO
before, I don't even know if to work with Access 2000 or with a different db, can you advice ?
Do you know of a good sample that show a beginner like me how to access
MSDE from VB using ADO?
If you do please please advice it will ease the pressure and the days are
numbered.
Thanks a lot.

the service is already automatic, but when starting Windows XP MSDE "asks" to be installed correctly, run setup again and as you can imagine i did so. I can't find the answer

View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows XP, SP2; MSDE 2000 Release A - on some installs of the XP SP2 MSDE installation fails, the section of the install log that applies is:
View 3 Replies View RelatedNumerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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?

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
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,
Brian
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the
same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that
the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed
from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
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)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r
-c'
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.
Sameer.
