Making Database Changes Without Logging In To The Server.
May 1, 2008
Hi All,
I am a bit new to using MS-SQL, up till now my main adminstration was in Oracle.
I have a question, my developers make changes to my MS-SQL databases, however, they always login as a local admin or use their domain WIndows accounts - with the given privileges. Then they amend the database.
My idea is to avoid logging into an MS-SQL server without using a Remote Desktop. So they will need some kind of a client.
What is your experience and what would be the best way to do this? Meaning, what software can I use that does not require a license fee?
With Oracle I can install the Oracle client which has an SQLPLUS to login remotely. Does MS-SQL have something similar?
Thanks in advance.
I did use Google to search, I also have an MS-SQL Developer Edition, but this seems to come with another server itself.
Regards,
Richard.

Greetings,
I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
Thanks,
BCB

Hi,
I use Sql server express 2005.I have two databases: db1 and db2.I use Studio Management. I connect with my administrator account 'admin'.
1) When i rightclick on db1 (and also on db2) and i take the properties / general, i see for both db: owner = servernameadmin .When i take properties / Files, i see for db1: owner = servernameadmin , but for db2, it remains empty.why and does it mean that db2 has no owner? But then, why do i see in properties / general : owner = servernameadmin?
2) i want to make 'admin' owner of db2 (for creating a database diagram), so in properties / Files, i click on the button with three dots.A windows "select database owner" appears, i click on button 'browse', but then all i see is:built-in administartorsbuilt-in userssa...
Whatever i choose (e.g; built-in administrators), i get the message: an entity of database cannot be owned by a role, group ... error 15353).
Why do i not get the account 'admin' in the browse windows and how to make 'admin' owner of db2?
Thanks for helpT.

I have a 6.5 db that I want to create a copy of, I can move it to eithera machine running 7 or 2000. I am more used to doing this in Oracle sopls bear with me...I don't want to have any downtime on the 6.5 db, so I'm thinking perhapsimport is the best way to go? I am assuming that 6.5 backups are notcomaptible with either 7 or 2000 restore, or I'd go that route.The database in question is fairly simple, pretty well just tables fullof data, no stored procs...suggestions?TIA

Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
Best regards,
Stefoon

VWD 2005 Express. Visual Basic. Sql Server 2005. I am trying to establish a connection to a SQL database. The connection (and all other database reads and writes) work fine in debug and in "view in browser" from VWD. I am running the VWD on the same server that hosts the site. When on my server (Windows 2003 Server) under IIS, the connection attempt times out.
Below is the code that is failing (only on the server when deployed):
Private Shared Sub OpenConn(ByVal cmd As SqlCommand, ByVal Success As Boolean)
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("GoodNews_IntranetConnectionString").ToString)
'The connection string resolves to ("Data Source=HQSERVERHQSERVER;Initial Catalog=GoodNews_Intranet;Integrated Security=True"
Try
conn.Open()
cmd.Connection = conn
Success = TrueCatch ex As Exception
Success = False
End Try
End Sub

I am developing a web site with asp.net 2.0 and c#, using Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ( I am still learning about these technologies and languages ).I transferred my web site files to my NEW computer. The web site worked fine when running inside Visual Studio, however when I tried to run it in its PUBLISHED format it was giving this error message:Server Error in '/MA' Application. Cannot open database "SiteData" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'CENTAURUSASPNET'.I solved the problem by running SQL Server Management Stdio, right clicking “SiteData� database -> properties -> permissions->view server permissions then I chose “CENTAURUSASPNET� and since I DID NOT KNOW what grants are ESSENTIAL for the functioning of the database, I GRANTED EVERYTHING ( I ticked ALL the permissions).
But since, probably, a lot of GRANTS are not only unnecessary but also may compromise the security of the web site, I would like to know what are the ESSENTIAL OR MINIMUM GRANTS NECESSARY for making the database functional to the web site and what grants may represent a security risk.

I I work for a small business who has a somewhat successful ecommerce site. Our website is based on some VERY large DB's with 10's of millions of records, and 40+GB of images, so we choose to self host so we could easily manage the data. As things have grown and we've cobbled a fair amount of integration between the website databases and our internal systems. Fast forward 4-5 years, the website has grown to the point that self hosting is costing us a fortune in bandwidth costs, so I'm thinking of moving to a co-location facility. If I do that, I need to send the website tables along with it. Is there a replication stradagy that would allow us to have two independant DB's, both able to take updates that would sync with one another? My other thought is to spit the tables on two different DB's and let some of the data live in the co-location facility.. but I am worried about the performance impact for local users.

Database 'XXXX' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery.
See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details. Typically, an assertion failure is caused by a software bug or data corruption. To check for database corruption, consider running DBCC CHECKDB. If you agreed to send dumps to Microsoft during setup, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft. An update might be available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or in a QFE from Technical Support.
Msg 3313, Level 21, State 2, Line 1
During redoing of a logged operation in database 'XXXX', an error occurred at log record ID (0:0:0). Typically, the specific failure is previously logged as an error in the Windows Event Log service. Restore the database from a full backup, or repair the database.
Msg 3414, Level 21, State 1, Line 1
An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'XXXX' (database ID 7) from restarting. Diagnose the recovery errors and fix them, or restore from a known good backup. If errors are not corrected or expected, contact Technical Support.
Investigation DONE:
- DBcc checkdb shown CleanÂ
- database is online and able to access
-Detached database and attached with rebuild log, still could not bring database read_only

Hi all!
I have a friend who is a contract developer working remotely for a company on a SQL Server + VB project. He is having difficulty because someone at the company is making changes to the database tables without informing him, and of course then there are numerous application errors. This has happened far too many times for him to dismiss it. Examples of these changes are changing field names, deleting fields, changing datatypes, even changing the server name. My question is does SQL Server automatically log changes to the database, and if so, how can this log be read?
Thanks!

Hi y'all, I am doing some searching in the archived threads, but I have a need to copy a table in a database to a new table in the same database, but the new table will be just a table with test data. There are several million rows in the table and I want to do the copy without logging the new inserts in the transaction log.
Is there an easy way to do this? I found this in my search efforts so far, but am just wondering if there is an easier/better way to accomplish what I want to do.
BTW, I normally wouldn't care, but the boss is complaining that it is taking too long to do the copy for a different team, so asked if I knew a way to copy data to a new table without logging. I don't, so here I am ;)
Here is what I found so far:Following 3 things need to be done
1) create table as not logged initially
2) set autocommit=off
3) and activate the not logged initially option
Now the inserts happen without the use of transaction logs

Hi,
I am using SQL Server Express Edition 2005 as a backend database working with Visual Basic 2005.
I am using Vista and having two users to access to my computer. User-1 and User-2.
I created a database in User-1 and works fine Visual Basic 2005.
Now the problem is when i login to my computer system with User-2. I cannot able to access the database with encountering error like "User-1/SQLExpress". I know that i cannot able to access to database which was created in User-1.
Do you any solution to this problem. when i login with user-1 and user-2 it should able to access database.
Thanks.

Lead information fields (name, address, etc.)
promo_ID: the id of the web form that site visitors filled out to send us their information
PPC_source: If this lead is a result of a Pay-per-click campaingwe capture the name of the search engine
Status_ID: Shows if the lead has been contacted, quoted, sold, bad lead, etc.
I was asked to come up with a summary report calculating the number of leads under each status ID - for each PPC_source
Example:
Total leads |
Google |
Yahoo
Status = pending
Status = contacted
Status = quoted
Status = Sold
Looping over each record (12,000 and counting) to get the sums of each status for each pay-per-click campaign takes a while (not all campaigns / status are listed above).
The question: Is it better to retrieve all records in a dataset and do the math in the business layer or is there a way to do the math in a SQL Procedure, or function.
Thanks.

Hi all,I set up our Oracle Financials as a linked server to one of my SQLServer boxes. On running a test query, I got the following errormessage:OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column.Metadata information was changed at execution time.OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'TEST_NUM'(compile-time ordinal 2) of object '"MYUSER"."TEST_LINK"' was reportedto have aDBTYPE of 130 at compile time and 5 at run time].The Oracle datatype of the column with the supposedly inconsistentmetadata was NUMBER, which according to the Oracle OLE DB documentationactually maps to 139. 130 is a null-terminated unicode characterstring, 5 is a float, and 139 is a variable-length, exact numeric valuewith a signed scale value. Oracle NUMBER is an all-purpose numerictype, apparently they use that instead of int, float, etc. The Oracleguy used it for this column in the test table because in OF it is usedin pretty much every table. (For starters it is the datatype of theiridentity columns.)There is something in the OLE DB spec about all datatypes having to beable to be expressed as DBTYPE_WSTR (130), but what I don't get is thatI can connect to the same Oracle instance using VB6 code and theMSDAORA provider and there is no problem at all interpreting the NUMBERcolumns. So why does it work from VB and not as a linked server? Andmuch more importantly, HOW DO I MAKE THE LINKED SERVER WORK?TIA
