Well, I want to store my customer records in two tables in an SQL Server 2005 Database. (Visual Studio 2005 with ASP.Net and C#).
I want to create a unique ID for each user which starts with either an IN or a CO (indivudual or Company). This information is stored in two seperate tables, one table called individual and one table called company.
I want my individual table to store a unique ID with IN************, so it should have IN followed by a 12 digit unique ID.
I want my company table to store a unique ID with CO************, so it should have CO followed by a 12 digit unique ID.
I'm afraid Unique IDs are something im not very familiar with, so any help would be greatfully appreciated, but please be clear as I have a bit of trouble understanding. I wouldn't know how to even begin this, as I have trouble using simply the UniqueIdentifier attribute.
I am trying to implement custom paging. I want to get a subset from my Threads and Post tables by userID. But I can't make the stored proc work. Could somebody have a look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong or if there is a better way of doing this?

I have a custom component that takes in unicode stream and converts it to ascii text. However I would like to make my default string length and code page editable in the standard GUI editor. Right now I can set the default to 1000 characters, but when I try to change it, it says "Property value is not valid"
In my site, when a user registers, I need to create rows in additional tables besides aspnet_Users. So, I need to be able to pass the generated userId guid to subsequent SqlCommands. I'm having a terrible time with this. What's the correct way to set up a SqlParameter so that it will accept a guid? I keep getting this error: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier." I've tried creating the parameter both with and without a SqlDbType. cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(paramName, guid); and SqlParameter p = new SqlParameter(paramName);p.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Guid;cmd.Parameters.Add(p); and I get the same error either way. Driving me nuts! Any help appreciated.
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid". In the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I have already created within this UI, and not the actual component object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
Hi there everyone, this is my first post so go easy on me :) Basically I am trying to get my database to copy the value in the UserId (unique identifier field) from the aspnet_Users table to a foreign key UserId in a table called userclassset. I have made this field the same datatype and created a relationship between the two. Unfortunately, when I add a user using the ASP.Net configuration tool it does not automatically copy this value into my own custom table. I have noticed it is however automatically copied into the aspnet_Membership table. Any pointers on how to solve this would be great! Thanks :)
i need to auto generate the user id in id colunm in my sqldatabase table.i want it to generate in this fashion.(mycompanyname-todaydate-number.)eg (ibm-15thfeb-1) (ibm-15thfeb-2) (ibm-16thfeb-1)here i need this user id to be automatically displayed in my web form when doing registration of new user,then only after clicking the savebutton i want all the data along with user id to be inserted into the table in sqldatabase.thanksjack.

I am trying to configure a sqldatasource control using the where clause to grab a single record with a certain UserId. Teh UserId is stored in a variable of type System.Gui and I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Can someone give me a hand please?
I'm trying to sort by domain user id, I can pull the user id fine but now I want to sort my SELECT by that name. How do I put the value of getUserIdentity into my SELECT statment. Thanks <script language="C#" runat="server"> protected string getUserIdentity() { return HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString().Replace("DOMAIN\", ""); } protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) { username = getUserIdentity(); SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=CLIENTELE;Initial Catalog=forms;Integrated Security=True"); SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM formTable WHERE userID = @username ORDER BY status DESC", myConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); myCommand.Fill(ds, "names"); MyDataGrid.DataSource=ds.Tables["names"].DefaultView; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } </script>
Currently, I am using a varchar "UserName" as a primary key instead of an Identity or GUID.
System Info: When user's sign up they provide the "UserName" that is used as a PK. Creating a message board type web application. UserNames will never change. UserNames are used extensively as FK's in other Tables. We want to scale well.
Does anyone know the implications? I understand Joins are faster on numerical values than strings but we will not be performing many joins.
In my case is it better to use Identity as a PK or is it better to use a varchar for a "Users" table?

Hello!I work with oracle, mySQL but im completely new to SQLserver.How can i set a auto-increment unique variable for userID ?After deleted user, the userID should be never used again on a new user.Thank you,
I have a user which has the currect rights to do what he needs but others with the same permissions (from what I can tell) can not do somethings. It looks like I have 2 options
a.) find a way to mirror the working one to 30 others ids or b.) find some tool that will do a detailed comparision of the two ids
Any suggestions/tools(free)/scripts that would work?
I have the following situation: I have a table that is log of transactions of useractions. Each time a userstatus changes, a new entry is made into the table.
The table has (currently) about 4 million records, and keeps growing each day with thousands of records. It logs the status of about 150 users (currently active).
What I now want is to get the log-entry from all the distinct users that have a log-entry on the latest day (so current day, 'where TimeStamp > 2008-04-08').
(extremely simplified) Example: (date is y/m/d)
USERID TIMESTAMP STATUS ---------------------------------------------------- ... (thousands and millions of records above) Ed 2008-04-07 18:00:00 Logged_Out Jim 2008-04-07 18:30:00 Blabla_Status_5 Jack 2008-04-07 19:00:00 Logged_Out Jim 2008-04-07 19:30:00 Logged_Out Jim 2008-04-08 06:00:00 Logged_In (<< notice new day) Jim 2008-04-08 06:01:00 Blabla-Status_1 Bob 2008-04-08 06:03:00 Logged_In Fred 2008-04-08 06:05:00 Logged_In Jim 2008-04-08 06:08:00 Blabla-Status_2 Jack 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Logged_In Fred 2008-04-08 06:20:00 Blabla_Status_5 Jack 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Logged_Out Fred 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Blabla_Status_4 Jack 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Logged_In Jack 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Blabla_Status_7 ----------------------------------------------------
The result should be:
USERID TIMESTAMP STATUS ---------------------------------------------------- Jack 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Blabla_Status_7 Fred 2008-04-08 06:12:00 Blabla_Status_4 Jim 2008-04-08 06:08:00 Blabla-Status_2 Bob 2008-04-08 06:03:00 Logged_In ----------------------------------------------------
I am writing a VBscript which takes my machine details and put in the SQL database.
But after executing the script , i got the following error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
I dont remember the password I have given during installation. Please tell me how to get the password of sql server.
I use DTSRun /Uuserid /Ppassword /Sservername .... in a batch process. I always get the error message to run with a trusted connection. I can run the same batch process from a command line under my own domain id and it runs as if it had a trusted connection. Will DTSRun run only with a trusted connection? Do I need to set something in the package to get SQL Server to run with a userid and password? Why does it always default to using a trusted connection. I need to know what I have to set to tell it that I am using a userid and password. I have included an example of how it's coded in the BAT file.
When I tried to browse the reportserver url. The IE 7.0 asks me for Username and password. I feel, its some settings related to security. But other sites created are working fine. The virtual directories created using Repoting services configuration manager only ask me username and password.
I have recently had a few reports that are built around the userid parameter start failing to pass the userid parameter. If I run the report and hard code the userid everything runs just fine, but I am not able to collect the userid when the user is logging into the report server. Any thoughts or suggestions?
What I want to accomplish is that at design time the designer can enter a value for some custom property on my custom task and that this value is accessed at executing time.
I am writing a custom task that has some custom properties. I would like to parameterize these properties i.e. read from a varaible, so I can change these variables from a config file during runtime.
I read the documentation and it says if we set the ExpressionType to CPET_NOTIFY, it should work, but it does not seem to work. Not sure if I am missing anything. Can someone please help me?
In the Editor of my custom task, under custom properties section, I expected a button with 3 dots, to click & pop-up so we can specify the expression or at least so it evaluates the variables if we give @[User::VaraibleName]
I want to join my existing tables such as ORDERS with aspnet_Users.UserId on ORDERS.CustomerId.But I am confused which data type should I choose for customerId field.The datatype of the of aspnet_Users.UserId is uniqueidentifier, but obviously I cannot assign my customerId field to uniqueidentifier data type. I found that "The uniqueidentifier data type in SQL Server is stored natively as a 16-byte binary value." I wish aspnet_Users.UserId would be an integer IDENTITY field. I also want to ask if I can change UserId field's datatype to integer?There are also some other tables that I want to join with aspnet_Users table on its UserId field. Can you suggest any solutions?

While deploying reports on the reports server, it is asking to supply user name and password. When I entered the same, it didn't accept them. What do I need to do? Is there any specific setting which I need to configure?
Hi, I am using the sql server for creating the database. I want to create the database which is having userid and password. This I require since I wanted to restrict acces to database and also only authorise user to database can use the userid and password created at time of creation of database. So how can I create the database which is having userid and password?
I have to implement table level loggin on a bunch of tables. The problem is that I also have to log the user that made the changes
Obviously the right way would be to run everything tru stored procs - but that is not possible for me because there is a lot of existing functionality built already - some direct sql and a super large number of sprocs.
So I wanted to go with a trigger based approach .However since the changes are being made by a web app SQL has no idea who the actual web application based user is.
I originally tried to solve the problem by adding a LastUpdatedBy column to some of the tables and forcing the functions to update that too - so that the trigger can read that column but that has turned out to be very tedius and buggy.
So I want to try something else - so far it seems to be working but I just want to make sure I am not messing up anything along the way.
There is a function is TSQL called APP_NAME() , this return the name of the application that started the connection that the TSQL is running in. This made scense during the desktop days when it would return the actual .EXE name of the file that executed the changes.
Nowadys it's not so usefull any more becuase in a web based app all changes are being done by aspnet_wp.exe so i don't know if that info is usefull - as a matter of fact all access thru ado.net default to ".Net SqlClient Data Provider" .
So my thinking is like this - if I add 'Application Name= userid" to the connection string before I open it - then I will have access to that userid thruout any changes that usermakes via APP_NAME()
I realize that I may be messing up the connection pool a bit - but I have relativley few (60) users who are on the system for long spans - so each one will be able to reuse their own connectiions.
I just want to make sure before I go off on this that i am not messing things up badly
Im a bit confused on my programming skills. I know how to add a user and password using the Membership.CreateUser class. ' Define database connection Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Server=localhostSqlExpress;" & _ "Database=lnp;Integrated Security=True") ' Create command Dim comm As New SqlCommand( _ "SELECT oldLogId, oldPassword FROM userDetails WHERE (oldLogId = N'chuck') OR (oldLogId = N'top_dawg')", conn) ' Open connection conn.Open() ' Execute the command Dim reader As SqlDataReader = comm.ExecuteReader() ' Do something with the data While reader.Read() Dim partPassword = reader.Item("oldPassword") ' Adds underscore character and first 3 letters of password for distinct USER ID Dim newUserID = reader.Item("oldLogId") & "_" & partPassword.SubString(0, 3) ' Create User if Valid Try Membership.CreateUser(newUserID, partPassword) Catch ex As MembershipCreateUserException ' Code that is executed when an exception is generated ' The exception's details are accessible through the ex object usersLabel.Text &= "<p><strong>Exception: " & newUserID & "</strong><br />" & ex.ToString() & "<br /><strong>Message: </strong><br />" & ex.Message & "</p>" End Try End While usersLabel.Text &= "<p><strong>END OF RECORDS</strong></p>" ' Close the reader and the connection reader.Close() conn.Close() But now I want to do something in a Stored Procedure USE [lnp]GOSET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOCREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_createPortingDetailsWithUsers]-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @passUserId NVarChar(50), @passPassword NVarChar(50)ASBEGIN-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from-- interfering with SELECT statements.SET NOCOUNT ON;Membership.CreateUser(@passUserId, @passPassword)Select SCOPE_IDENTITY()ENDBut when I try to execute this in SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO EXPRESS, I get an error near the line MEMBERSHIP.CREATEUSER(@passUserId,@passPassword)Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_createPortingDetailsWithUsers, Line 11Incorrect syntax near 'Membership'. What I want to do is create a user with a UserID and Password that I am passing from a table and then retrieve the USERID (unique identifier) when I create the new user. Can anyone suggest or show a tutorial on what I am doing wrong? I appreciate any assistance in advance,Chuck
