How Are Device Cals Managed And Assigned.
Aug 21, 2007
Hello all,
This seems like a simple question but I still haven't been able to get an answer from Microsoft Canada. We're looking at buying 75 device cals to connect to a single instance of SQL Server Standard Edition. Our question is on how those licenses are assigned and/or activated.
Do we need to manually do something for each station or is it an automated process done the first time a station connects to the server? We also wat to understand what happens when a workstation dies and is replaced by another one. Do you have to do something on the server to transfer the license to the new station ?
In other words, when using device cals (and/or user cals), do you have to do any type of license management or is it all transparent ?

Hi,I am slightly confused about the meaning of a 'device cal'(specifically for sql server but I guess the same applies to other mslicences)In the examples about device cals, there is a picture of a number ofwindows desktops connected to a database server. each desktop canpotentially be used by a number of users and requires one device cal.All well and good.Now, say I have a web application hosted hosted on a different machineand connecting to SQL server. the SQL server licencing FAQ says"A device CAL covers multiple users' access to server software from asingle, shared device."is my web server a shared device? so does the web server require asingle device CAL no matter how many users use it?Andy

I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

Hello everyone,
I have live application in Greece with 300 users. VB5 with SQL Server 6.5
SP5a. The system is being totally upgrade to use SQL Server 7, the
application has also been upgraded.
The client therefore has 300 CALs for SQL Server 6.5.
If SQL Server 7 is being installed, do the clients need to purchase another
300 CALs for SQL Server 7, or do the existing CALs allow for access to SQL
Server 7. (i.e are they transferable). In what blocks can these be purchased
in, can you provide a website URL for reference.
An urgent response to this would be appreciated as I have technical people
(not DBAs, nor am I a DBA !) on site.
regards

Hi All,
My company has Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition installed. I am wondering if we need additional SQL CALs (besides the SBS CALs) for the SQL 2000 that is installed with SBS 2003 Premium Edition.
Thanks in advance for all your feedbacks.

Hallo are CALs bought for SQL2000 valid for SQL 2005?
We're going to move the database servers from 2000 to 2005, and would like to know if we need to buy new CALs too.

If someone could please help.
We have a server running Win 2000 Server with SQL 2000 Server.
1) How can I tell which of the 20 network users have SQL 2000 Cals?
2) How can I tell wether a Win 2000 Server client has a Device or User Cal.
Thanks

Hi,
I didn't find any other forum to ask this and I didn't find any matching post for my question, so I post it here:
We have an application that is running on 2 web servers connected to a sql2000 server with a 2-processor license ... so I think there we have no problem no matter how many users are using our web application.
But the web application is producing a huge amount of logs that we want to analyze on a distinct multi-proc sql2000 server with a huge amount of harddisk space that's running with CAL licensing (not really sure how many we have for that server).
In a perfect solution we will provide access to the logs via our 2 web servers using the same application, but only for a given number of users (the number of users we hav CALs for). I think using that approach we get into licensing trouble.
Would it be ok to start a second web site on the same servers with an IP restriction allowing only "n" predefined IP endpoints so that only these machines can access the sql-Server that is running in CAL mode?
I'm not really sure what the CAL model really wants to allow - "n" physical users (persons), "n" end user computers, "n" database connections, max "n" of all together and is it concurrent, in a time of one day, the lifetime of the server? Maybe there's a document with some real world examples that I didn't find.
CU,
Sven

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I am moving some code that was created in visual studio 2002 into Visual Web Developer 2005 express edition and am getting a warning on some of my code before compilation.
The warning is "Variable lSqlTransaction is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime". I experienced no problems in vs2002.
The offending line is the rollback command within the exception. If I move it out of the exception it no longer flags the warning, if I move it after the throw statement it now longer flags the warning. Any help appreciated.
Heres the code
Public Shared Sub ExecuteNonQuery(ByVal lSQLCommand As SqlCommand)
Dim lSQLConnection As New SqlConnection(SQLConnString(enmSQLDB.enmSQLDB_TPSDB))
Dim lSQLTransaction As SqlTransaction
Try
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Try and open the database
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLConnection.Open()
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Create a transaction
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLTransaction = lSQLConnection.BeginTransaction
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Assign the connection and transaction to our object
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLCommand.Connection = lSQLConnection
lSQLCommand.Transaction = lSQLTransaction
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Execute the stored proc
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
'-----------------------------------------------------
'Use the transaction to commit the changes
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLTransaction.Commit()
Catch ex As Exception
'-----------------------------------------------------
'If any errors have been thrown then roll back without
'commiting....
'-----------------------------------------------------
lSQLTransaction.Rollback()
Throw New Exception("An error has occured whilst trying to update the database. " & _
"Your changes have not been saved.", ex)
Finally
If lSQLConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
lSQLConnection.Close()
End If
End Try
End Sub

Greetings,
We have a standard audit trigger on one of our tables. The trigger type is "after insert, update". The trigger populates four table columns, telling us the login and time the row was created and last updated.
We use replication to synchronize three servers. The trigger specifies "not for replication" on all servers.
The code used to grab the identity and time of the last update is shown below.
LastEditedDate = GETUTCDATE(),
LastEditedBy = SUSER_SNAME()
What I observe is that the LastEditedBy value is sometimes different for the same row on different servers even though the time value is identical. I don't know how to explain this. It looks like the login value is being recalculated during replication while the edit time is not.
For the record, the correct login will be something like "MYDOMjoe" while the incorrect value on another server will read "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE". Do these symptoms ring a bell with anyone?
Thanks,
BCB

I have a problem with datatype mismatches. In my Data Flow I am reading a Flat File that includes a DateOfBirth which SSIS correctly assigns a datatype of [DT_DATE]. I need to check to see if the record has previously been submitted, so I do a Lookup that uses a SQL statement that combines fields (LastName, Zip & BirthDate) from three different tables. My problem is that SSIS assigns a datatype of [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] to BirthDate, which I can't use because of the mismatch. I have tried every form of re-formating the field in SQL that I can think of, but it still gets assigned that DT. And I'm unaware of a way of changing the DT once SSIS assigns it in the Lookup task.
Help!...very frustrated,
Dave

I need to update a table using a stored procedure that "UPSERTS". In this case, @OfficeId is passed with ParameterDirection.OutputSo when I update I assign the value to OfficeId like this (the office id value is being correctly assigned): SqlParameter OfficeIdParam = new SqlParameter("@OfficeId", SqlDbType.Int, 4); if (_officeId > 0) { OfficeIdParam.Value = _officeId; } OfficeIdParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; The following segment of the stored procedure is throwing an error that the OfficeId does not exist: Update --- @OfficeId int output if not exists (select 1 from ORG_Office where OfficeId=@OfficeId) begin RAISERROR ('OfficeId does not exist in ORG_Office: E002', 16, 1) -- OfficeId does not exist. return -1 end May this approach work, and if the operation turns out to be an Insert I may do this:select @error_code = @@ERROR, @OfficeId= scope_identity() Thank you,jspurlin

Hello,
Is there a way to assign multiple variables to one select statement as in the following example?
DECLARE @FirstName VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @MiddleName VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @LastName VARCHAR(100)
@FirstName, @MiddleName, @LastName = SELECT FirstName, MiddleName, LastName FROM USERS WHERE username='UniqueUserName'
I don't like having to use one select statement for each variable I need to pull from a query. This is in reference to a stored procedure.
Thank you!

I have a report where certain columns have values that get repeated, but the client has a rigid requirement for not wanting these columns as groups in the reports (other programs and exports doing specific tasks with those values). In these reports, the "hide duplicates" value is checked, so as to give an aesthetic sense of grouping.
The data for the report, in raw form is:
Value 1
A
Value 1
B
Value 1
C
Value 2
D
Value 2
E
Value 2
F
Value 3
G
Value 3
Hetc...
In its aesthetic form, it is:
Value 1
A
B
C
Value 2
D
E
F
Value 3
G
H
My question is, how can I use RunningValue() to give me the following row numbers based upon those repeated values acting as grouping, since I'm not using formal grouping in the report design?
Value 1
1
A
2
B
3
C
Value 2
1
D
2
E
3
F
Value 3
1
G
2
H
Thanks for any input!

At our site, we page DBAs whenever an alert with a severity of 20 or greater is raised. This never was an issue until SQL Server 2005. Now every SSPI error is paged since it is a severity 20. I don't believe the errors are severe enough to qualify an assignment of 20. Anybody else have any thoughts on this?
Thanks.

Hi,
In SQL Server Express Edition, what are the rights that are assigned to a Normal Windows User and PowerUser by default ?
When I install SQL Express on a clean machine and login as Power User I can add/edit/delete data but when I login as Normal Windows User I can see the data but not change it.
Please help me in this regard.

We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.
Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.
(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)

I restored a sql server database today. There is a problem though. In SQL server, right next to the name of the database are the words "Restricted User". Their seem to be some limitations on my access to this database now as I am not able to run some of my C# code against the database. How can I fix this in SQL server so that I am not a Restriced user.
Example of what I am talking about. In SQL server my database is named Gorlaz. Just to the left of this is a yellow Icon that represents the database "Gorlaz". For illustration purposes I will use the character "$" to substitute for the yellow database icon. So this is how it reads in SQL server management studio.
$Gorlaz(Restricted User)

Can anyone help me with this? The objective is to allow an application user (with db_datareader & db_datawriter database roles assigned) to be able to create tables in the assigned schema (dbo) via a new role.
-- Create User
use master
go
create login DBA with password='xx', CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON
use AdventureWorks
go
create user dba from login DBA
alter user dba with DEFAULT_SCHEMA=dbo
go
-- Create Role
use AdventureWorks
go
create role sp_ddl_role AUTHORIZATION dbo
grant CREATE TABLE to sp_ddl_role
-- assign user to Role
use AdventureWorks
go
exec sp_addrolemember sp_ddl_role, dba
go
-- Create Table statement then run with following error
Error:
Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The specified schema name "dbo" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
Remedy: Grant ALTER on schema::dbo to sp_ddl_role
My problem is that I want to restrict user permissions via this role to just the CREATE TABLE and granting ALTER on a SCHEMA will open up a whole lot more permissions from a security standpoint.
Question: How do I restirct this role to just the CREATE TABLE within a SCHEMA?

Hello (help),
In SQL2000, when the Guest account was assigned into a role, such as db_datareader, then querying across databases worked just fine.
Specifically:
I have a Report Writer application that connects to the SQL Server with a login (ReportRunner) that actually has very limited permissions on a database.
The connection is then set (sp_setapprole) to use an Application role (App_RR) that has the necessary permissions.
The report-writer app calls a Stored Procedure that gathers data from several other databases (on the same SQL instance).
In SQL 2000, accessing these other databases was done through Guest - we assigned Guest to the db_datareader role. All worked fine.
We've just upgraded to SQL2005: reports started failing. It seems that although guest is assigned to the db_datareader role, the permissions for Guest don't allow selecting from tables via the db_datareader role: we've had to GRANT SELECT TO Guest specifically on the tables necessary for the report.
Is anyone aware of a design change withing SQL Server such that the Guest principal's roles are disregarded when assessing permission? Is there a new and better way to structure the permissions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

We have been storing packages in the File System folder. We had noticed that there seemed to be times when re-importing an existing package did not seem to update it properly. We tried deleting the existing package first rather than overwriting it, but to no avail.
Today we noticed that there were two DTS90Packages folders, one on the C drive and one on the D drive. The dates on the files in those folders showed that sometimes the import put the file on one drive, and other times on the other drive.
The MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file shows this: "<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath> ".
We intend to stored the packages in the msdb database instead in order to work around this problem.
Has anyone else noticed this happening?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi:
When I restore DB from testing to production, we want to remove extra access rights granted to public group. Is there a simple way to query to find out for which objects (table, view, sp, fn) that public group were granted select, delete, update insert, or execute rights?
My objective is to write a sp to remove all user assigned rights to public group (role), but not to deny any rights. How to do it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Is
there a way to find a list of Windows User accounts that are directly
or indirectly (through Windows Group membership) assigned to a database
role?
I could put work in to CLR programming or using a Linked Server to
Active Directory, but if there is a sys.* view available that can
provide me this
information directly it would be much easier.
I'll be looking into this further myself anyway and posting an answer
if I can find one, but if anyone has suggestions... well, thanks!
