I want only SQL Server Authentication not Windows Authentication Because If some one copy database and attach at some other place using Windows Authentication then they can see each and everything.
I want something like Access (I know its password can be broken very easily)
I want to protect Table & SP Schema, Data is not much important.
Its urgent

View 3 Replies View RelatedDear Colleagues,
I have designed a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database application using Visual Basic 2005. I want to control access to the database programmatically, without the End-User opening the database in SQL Server.
I want to protect the database structure such as my tables, code, etc. This restriction should include all the Administrators of the Computers on which my application will be deployed. Any modification of my database or code should be implemented only by me.
What is the best way to do this using (a) Windows Authentication Login? (b) SQL Server Login? How do I configure the User-Login?
NEW: In addition to above question, how best do I achieve this protection if installing the DB with other databases in an already existing server, is it possible to remove the Builtin Admin from the server role?? As in my case, there is no need for anyone else to open the DB in Management Studio at all as my VB application does all that is required.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter
I have a problem protecting a SQL 2005 SP2 server on Windows Server 2008 (64bit), running DPM 2007 on Windows Server 2003 (32 bit).
The following SQLVDI event ID 1 is logged in the event viewer:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS:pen. Desc=BADMEM. ErrorCode=(-1). Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1_SQLVDIMemoryName_0.
The UUID changes each time the event is logged, but the first event is followed by:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Close(channel). ErrorCode=(6)The handle is invalid.
. Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1_SQLVDIMemoryName_0.
Then this is repeated twice:
SQLVDI: Loc=SVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Close(channel). ErrorCode=(6)The handle is invalid.
. Process=2972. Thread=6504. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=.
Event ID 3201 is then logged by MSSQLSERVER:
Cannot open backup device '{CC60D260-C5DD-406A-9E63-64A9503A9763}1'. Operating system error 0x80770006(error not found).
This is followed by Event ID 3041:
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE CommunityServer. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
It looks to me like the virtual device creation fails in the first step, the next three event messages are the cleanup of the failed virtual device, and the final two messages are the failed SQL backup as the expected device doesn't exist.
My question is why? The message seems to indicate bad memory, but I'm sure the physical memory is good - The 16GB in this server has been tested extensively, and I have no other issues. Perhaps its some sort of memory allocation error?
I'm going to apply cumulative update 7 to this SQL server to see if it makes a change. What's the latestest version of sqlvdi.dll available?
TIA,
Karl.
We have a commercial VB.NET winforms client/server application that utilizes SQL Server 2005 express edition. The schema and data that the application utilizes is proprietary and could be very damaging if it got into a competitors hands.
Is there any way to protect the data and schema of a sql server 2005 express edition database?
Will this functionality ever be added?
Thanks
Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen a database is created in SQL Server, 4 files are made:
(example)
DB_Data.DAT
DB_data.mdf
DB_Log.DAT
DB_log.ldf
What do each of these files contain? I can figure out that the main database is the DB_Data.DAT, but why is the transaction log a .DAT and why is there four files instead of two? etceterea.

Has anyone had an issue with SQL Server not being able to expandagainst a RAID 5 file system? My current configuration is that theserver is started and stopped using the local system account. I haveonly one database (besides the master, model,etc)on the server. Whathas happend to me several times is that the primary database inquestion try's to expand the main datafile for the database (.mdf). Isetup the database to not expand automatically initially so that I canbe sure that we have enough file system space. Becuase of problems withthe application I decided to automatically expand. The other day thedevelopers came to me indicating that the databse was full and neededto be expanded. Knowing that the database was in automatic expandingmore I was surprise to hear this. I went into EM and attempted toexpand first the log and it would not indicating that it there was anissue in attempting to do so. I have never heard of a database notbeing able to expand. I ran DBCC's, etc and it came up clean. I triedto back the database up to disk and it would not backup. I finally hadto rename the datbase and rebuild it using DTS and scripts. I thoughtI had fixed it only to find out today that it (again) won't expand. Irenamed the datbase and then tried taking an older backup file andrestore it and it would not restore. This problem seems to be relatedto the file system but how I do not know.So, I am ready to run rebuild master but I have sone this before onlyto have this come back on me. I am at a complete loss. In the past Ihave had to rebuild the entire server and database from scratch. Theonly problem is that this has been done 3 times now with no completesolution or explaination. If any of you have seen this type ofbehavior and know whats going on please, please let me know what youthink the case and solution is!

I tried storing to MSSQL 2000 but the varbinary does not allow me to set "MAX" for the data type.
I am interesting in knowing how to connect to database files that are not kept local to the SQL server? If you have any familiarity w/ this, can you please help me out w/ some information.

I work for a company that makes heat transfers for the imprinted apparel market. We're developing a database of merchandise images for all of our non-design inventory. Using Access we're going to be inserting thumbnails of psd (photoshop) files. We're wondering if there is any way to import multiple psd's into the sql server database into matching records like matching a column named "filename" and the actual filename of the file without having to upload each file individually. We want to be able to dump the files from the database of the matching records, also. This way, once our catalog designer has found which designs they need to put into the new catalog, it will dump the psd's for us. The same for our staffer who does color separations.
Any suggestions out there? If you need me to post further of what we're trying here, I will. This is for the bossman.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can detach/attach SSAS database.But I have a software that protects(backs up) the files of the SSAS Database.
What the customer needs is to be able to take these backed up files and port it to a different server and attach it there.But the new server complains that these files have no corresponding detach-log files.
The customer doesn't want to backup and restore the SSAS databases.
I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from www.pcamerica.com
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often - the last one is dated January 5, 2015.
I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I want to to move all database log files from drive E to F .
There are more than 10 databases so I don’t wanna move them 1 by 1 .
At the moment I use detach – attach method .
-Detach db
-Move log file
-Attach db
How do I do this massively in one go ?
Dear friends
I need to report the amount of free space in each datafile of a database.
I have tried sys.dm_db_file_space_usage , but the documentation says that it only works for the TempDB.
Please help.

View 2 Replies View Related1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
My client maintains its HR data in an application that uses Oracle as its backend. This highly-sensitive data is basically off limits to all but a select few. Presently, I use a program in Access 97 that allows one high level HR person to pass their login to linked Oracle tables and copy a large chunk of this data to Access tables. From there I can morph it as needed for the Personnel, Safety, EEOC and other areas. The client sees this PW-protected, encrypted Access DB as safe because, being "only an Access DB", it falls below the radar of IS. This basically means IS can't get to the data. However, accessibility and scalability are non-existent. I'd like to reduce the Access DB to a shell that simply links to Oracle and SQL Server 7 tables and performs a straight pipe of the raw data between DBs. However, now IS will be very interested (since it's SQL 7) and have Admininstrator rights, therefore causing the HR people to squash the deal. How can I lock SQL 7 up so tight that IS can't get to the data and yet be able to maintain the DB? If this is not feasible, are there any other options that might provide a solution?

I have a report with parameter called "parm1", that gets a value of "true" or "false" depanding on another parameter.
When the report is runnig the parm1 value is "false".
How can I protect this parameter from a change by the user?
I mean - the user can run the report and then add to the url "¶m1 = true".
Can I do anything against that?
I tried marking it as "internal" and I thought that now it can get his value only from inside the report but it didn't worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi,
Just read about SQL injection, and tested it out with sample database, and it does hack my database, the article show to prevent SQL injection by using application code to remove those keywords and change single quote to double quote, is there any method to prevent SQL injection directly using the database system itself, maybe stored procedure or anything?
Thanks.

Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?
