How Can I Find Blank Password Logins In SQL2000???
Oct 31, 2007
Hi everyone ,
i am trying to find logins which has blank password in SQL2000 . i wrote cursor to find these logins. But i cannot catch the logins.Beacuse sp_password sistem procedure does not return @@ERROR.
I can easily do it with SQL2005 (BEGIN -TRY -CATCH).
How can i catch sp_password error in SQL Server 2000??
or are there any suggestions to find these logins.
How can i find blank password logins in SQL2000???
sp_password '','','loginname'
select @@error ''' it is always ZERO
Declare @sql as varchar(255)
Declare @login as varchar(50)
Declare Cur_Login CURSOR scroll FOR
Select name from syslogins where isntuser=0
open Cur_Login
fetch next from Cur_Login INTO @Login
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
set @sql = 'sp_password '''','''',''@login'' '
set @sql = replace(@sql ,'@login',@login)
exec (@sql)
if @@ERROR <> 0
print 'Password is not blank'

SQL To Find Short, Fat And Stupid People
Jul 23, 2005This is a question concerning query optimisation. Sorry if it's a bit long,but thanks to anyone who has the patience to help - This is my first posthere...If I have two tables: 'tblContact' and 'tblCategory' where categories arelike:Code Name010101 Short010102 Fat010103 StupidThe junction table 'tblConCat' has fields CctConID, CctCatCode to tell mewhich contacts have which category codes. These are nchar(6) fields, if itmakes any difference.If I need to find all people who are short, fat and stupid I can see twoways:Solution One:SELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContact WHEREConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010101') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010102') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010103')Solution Two:Build a helper table which contains the codes I'm looking forSELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContactWHERE ConID IN(SELECT CctConIDFROM tblConCat INNER JOIN tblHelperON tblConCat.CctCatCode = tblHelper.HlpCatCodeGROUP BY CctConID HAVING Count(*)=3)I have tried them both out and although I looked at the query analyzer itprovided more information than I knew what to do with. In practise theyboth provide similar working times (I wait about a second) but I thought thefirst looked rather inefficient and thought my helper table might help.There are about 30,000 contact records, 180 category records and 120,000junction table records.All I am looking for comments on any pros and cons of these two approaches -does one look that bad? The database was migrated from Access where thehelper table really did help, but using SQL Server I might not need it.Thanks again, if you got this far!

Feb 14, 2007Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
Thanks once again for taking the time.
Cheers,

Blank Password Policy Problem
Oct 2, 2006Hi all,We recently started to receive complaints about our install project notworking and giving and shitload of error messages related to SQL. Welater found out that the problem was the users we were trying to bindto we're not created because of the domain password policy featureimplemented into SQL Server 2005.After much dabbling around the SQL scripts that created the databasestructure, we came to the conclusion that only this piece of code couldcorrect our problem :CREATE LOGIN mynewuser WITH PASSWORD = '', CHECK_POLICY = OFF,CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFFThis runs perfectly fine on SQL2005, but not on SQL2000. We have beensearching for a way to have code in SQL files executed on install thatdoesn't fail to compile when run against the server and that willbypass the password policy in case it's a SQL Server 2005...Right now we are testing a feature available in MSI that can filterscripts not matching a database version, but the problem with this, isthat we are missing a lot of features that InstallShield has. In short,we need Help to fix this issue and be able to continue withdevelopment.In hopes to receive a a prompt anwser
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL 2005 - Ignore Policy To Allow Blank Password
Feb 6, 2006I've legacy code that requires a blank password for a SQL Server login.
This works fine on 2000 or 7.
How can you allow blank passwords on SQL Server 2005 without changing the windows policy?
Is there a stored procedure to do this?
I know you can now use CREATE LOGIN and set CHECK_POLICY to no on SQL 2005 when creating logins, but this needs to run on SQL Server 7/2000 and so its using sp_addlogin.
(NB: I can't easily change the legacy code to work conditionally on SQL Server 2005)

Question For The 'senior' People
Jul 20, 2005hello,My friend and I are working on a project involving oracle 9i and an oldUnify database. We got the oracle to see the unify (oracle running onwindows) by using the heterogenous services on oracle.However, that was a test environment. The production environment hasoracle running on linux. The problem is that the odbc drivers for theold unify database are only available on windows!So, I was wondering about something.In the production environment, they also have a MS-SQL 2000 database.Does that database have a function similar to oracle's heterogenousservices that will let us connect to the old unify database and passthat data to oracle?We're building custom apps. on oracle 10g application server. Runningoracle on windows in the production environment is not going to happen.Thanks,Dave

Dec 22, 2006I run a report which displays transcripts for members. One page per person with their name, courses they've took, date of the course and their score. The problem I am having is when the report runs and comes across the same last name for many people (say, Hanna and Billy Alexander), it's only giving me the first "Alexander" it comes across and it is putting all the information for the other "Alexander's" in that first transcript. How do I separate out the people who's last name is the same say "Smith" or Jones"?
I have a distinct clause on my query and when I run it I can see the other people with the same last name and their unique courses and scores (each of them have a unique member ID) - it's when I actually run the report that it groups the information (courses, dates, scores, etc) for the same last name people all under the first one it comes across. Hope that made sense.
Thx,

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow Many People Can Login To SQL Server With The Same User Account?
Mar 8, 1999I'm developing a client-server application using Visual Basic and SQL Server
6.5 for 700 users. The application currently requires users to login to the
database using their network account (via trusted connections). Each of the
users takes up a maximum of 6 connections. Unfortunately, other
considerations will force us to discard use of trusted connections. So it
only leaves us either to create 700 user accounts on SQL Server separately
from their network logins or to create one SQL Server account and everybody
uses that same account to login to the database. For political reasons, the
customer would prefer not to ask their support group to maintain 700 user
accounts on SQL Server if it can be avoided.
My question: is there any technical limitation or other negative consequence
of having 700 users login to the same account to SQL Server if SQL Server
can handle that many connections (it would be 6*700 = 4200 connections)
simultaneously? Are we supposed to do things like this? It seems that we
don’t have better choice than this.
People Who Answered Y To 1st And 2nd Questions But N To 3rd (was Statement Problem)

I'm having a problem working the SQL out for the following:
I have a table Person:
personId----------name

and another table Question
personId------questionId---------answer
1-------------1-----------------Y

2-------------1-----------------Y
2-------------2-----------------Y
2-------------3-----------------N
and I am trying to find a way of returning a list of ids of people who have answered Y to the first and second questions but N to the third.
If I try:
SELECT DISTINCT personId FROM Person INNER JOIN
Question ON question.personId = Person.personId
WHERE (Question.questionId = '1') AND (Question.answer = 'Y') AND (Question.questionId = '2') AND (Question.answer = 'Y') AND (Question.questionId = '3') AND (Question.answer = 'N')
I get no records returned.
I've tried putting brackets around the :
((Question.questionId = '1') AND (Question.answer = 'Y'))
bits of the Where clause - but the query analyser takes them away.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
