Microsoft Best Practices For Implementing Windows Authentication For Sql Server 2005
Nov 10, 2005Microsoft recommends using Windows authentication instead of SQL Server authentication in SQL Server 2005 for improved security. What are the Microsoft best practices for implementing this? Will be helpful if someone also provides some links that talks about this....
View 5 Replies View RelatedBest Practices Analyzer Contradicts BOL For SQLSERVERAGENT
Jul 5, 2007The 2005 Best Practices Analyzer (July 2007) contradicts Books Online about what account to run SQLSERVERAGENT under.
BPA says use Network Service Account, BOL explicitly says not to use Network Service Account:
BPA gives a warning saying "SQL Server Service [MY-PCSQLSERVERAGENT] In Unrecommended Account On Host [MY-PC]. We recommend that the service [SQLSERVERAGENT] on host [MY-PC] be run under Network Service Account. Currently it is designated to run under the account [SOMEDOMAINsomeaccount]."
BooksOnline says "Security Note: Because multiple services can use the Network Service account, it is difficult to control which services have access to network resources, including SQL Server databases. We do not recommend using the Network Service account for the SQL Server Agent service."
So who's right ? BPA or BOL ?
SQL Best Practices Analyzer Rule: Use Of Schema Qualified Tables/Views
Dec 17, 2005SQL BPA says the following:"One or more objects are referencing tables/views withoutspecifying a schema! Performance and predictability of theapplication may be improved by specifying schema names.""When SQL Server looks up a table/view without a schemaqualification, it first searches the default schema and then the'dbo' schema. The default schema corresponds to the currentuser for ad-hoc batches, and corresponds to the schema of astored procedure when inside one. In either case, SQL Serverincurs an additional runtime cost to verify schema binding ofunqualified objects. Applications are more maintainable andmay observe a slight performance improvement if objectreferences are schema qualified."How important is to specify the schame (dbo. in my case) instored procedures? Will it really improve performance if I goand fix each object that is missing "dbo."?The problem is I have thousands and thousands of themwith no schemas. Before I invest a lot of time fixing themI am trying to determine if it's really worth it or not?Thank you

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer Error
Mar 13, 2014I'm trying to run the SQL Server 2012 Best Practices Analyzer. After learning that I first had to install the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer, I did that.
When I tried to run the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer/Best Practices Analyzer remotely, though, I got an extremely verbose error message and want to confirm if I really need to do all of the steps involved on each target server that I want to analyze.
Here is what I tried after launching the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer application (I'm using 'MYSERV' as the target server name):
1. Clicked on "Connect to another computer"
2. Clicked "Another computer:" entered: MYSERV
3. Checked the "Connect as another user:" box
4. Clicked "Set User..." added by Windows credentials.
5. Checked the Use CredSSP box
6. Clicked OK.
After a second or two, the error below came back. Is that what I have to do on each remote computer to run the analyzers?
Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer
Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process this request. CredSSP authentication is currently disabled in the client configuration. Change the client configuration and try the request again. CredSSP authentication must also be enabled in the server configuration. Also, Group Policy must be edited to allow credential delegation to the target computer. Use gpedit.msc and look at the following policy: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation -> Allow Delegating Fresh Credentials. Verify that it is enabled and configured with an SPN appropriate for the target computer. For example, for a target computer name "myserver.domain.com", the SPN can be one of the following; WSMAN/myserver.domain.com or WSMAN/*.domain.com For more information

Microsoft SQL Server Express And Microsoft Visual Studio...
Mar 17, 2008I have a query that executes just fine except that it won't recognize varchar(255) ( or any other value within the () ) and if I leave it off like this: varchar, then it executes but it leaves that value as 1 and that is just not very useful for my purposes. This also happens with anything else that requires () to add length such as char(), or nvarchar(), etc... Any ideas?

Sep 5, 2007I am hoping someone can give some advice on the following things:
I have read a few times about a data access layer in an n-tier application. I am assuming that this should be done
using sprocs. Is there an advantage of using sprocs instead of views ( in situations where the same thing could
be accomplished using either)? Will a sproc run faster than a view? Can any share any info?
Are sprocs best suited for data access and to enforce business rules?
I know SQL Server has reserved words that shouldn't be used. I am wondering what the best thing to do is
in the following situation? What is the best way to handle storing a customer or clients address? I am working from a book that shows the name of a column as "Address". I have found that with SQL Server 2005
Express that this is a reserved word(it is shown in blue in the query window). I want to keep my names short. I am trying to avoid a name like "StreetAddress". Is my book teaching bad habits?

SQL Server, C# .NET 2.0 -- Speed Best Practices
Feb 21, 2008Greetings,
I'm developing a trading application in C# that processes streaming data that can be very heavy at times. Transactions are occuring, logging information is stored, etc., often at a very rapid pace. Up until recently, I had been storing all of this information in memory in DataSets -- upon a graceful exit, the application would call DataSet.WriteXml() to a file, and then next time the application was opened, it would consequently call ReadXml() to obtain its last state. This is all great in theory because it is super fast, there is negligible lag when I add a row to a DataTable that already has 12,000 rows (at a rate of 300 per second), however if the program were to crash, without a chance to write the data to file, then I'm screwed.
My solution is to have the various DataSets bound to a SQL Server database -- I've created strongly typed DataSets and TableAdapters to help aid this process. Because often I'm adding rows VERY quickly and in large numbers to these tables, having an INSERT command execute on the database for EVERY transaction is prohibitively slow.
What I would like is to have some mechanism in place where I only affect the local DataTables on the fly, and then occasionally make calls to TableAdapter.Update (on their respective TableAdapters) during slow periods (or lulls in the message traffic) so that any changes to the in-memory data is persisted on the database. I'm looking for general "best practices" in this regard -- nothing specific, just advice from people who have dealt with this type of application/environment before and might have some tips.
The first thing I thought about doing would be a relatively simple algorithm that, upon receiving a new transaction, sets a timer (for, say 500 ms). When this timer is triggered, it calls the Update command on the DataSet that was updated. If another update comes in before the 500 ms, it first checks to see if there's an active timer for this DataSet, if so, it cancels it, and sets a new timer for 500 ms. This way, if I have a very rapid set of transactions that all occur within a few ms of each other, it will not make any calls to the database during the "peak" of data -- only when there's a 500 ms gap will it make a call.
Does that seem like a viable approach?
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated.

Best Practices (set-up): Should SQL Server (2005) *not* Be Installed On The Same Physical HD As The Windows OS (Server 2003 R2

Hi,
We're setting up some new servers, and today I'm looking into best practices for the SQL Server Setup portion of it.
The servers have include 2 x 250G HD, and from what I've read, where IIS is concerned, it should not be installed on the drive that has the OS on it, for security reasons. I was wondering if the installation of SQL Server should be on the non-OS drive as well ?

Hello all,
I'm finding the documentation online to upgrading from 2000 to 2005 fairly poor.
What are the upgrading options and which one is the best option for a web server database.
Also what are best practices pre-upgrade, during upgrade and post-upgrade.

Also since this question will be asked often might as well make it a sticky.

SQL Server Stored Procedure Best Practices? - Long
Jun 13, 2007I'm an experienced SQL Server and .NET developer, but I wanted to expand the way I look at things and see how other developers approach the situation I'm going to outline in this post. I'm going to be engineering a large, new project soon and I want to examine how I approach this and see if there is a better way.
I work in a small development group with two developers (myself and another). We pretty much wear all the design, testing ,and development hats during the course of a system's development. I had a discussion today with the other developer about creation of stored procedures.
I like to create small specific stored procedures for whatever I'm doing. I will usually have at least 4 stored procedures for each table; Insert, Delete, Update, and Select. Frequently I'll have more Select procedures for special cases. I do this for several reason. One I can get Visual Studio to generate the basic procedures for me and utilize them in a typed dataset. Secondly I can keep all my SQL code server side, and in small maintainable chunks. It is also fairly obvious what my stored procedures do from the name. The main drawback is that the list of stored procedures gets huge.
The developer I work with likes to create a single stored procedure for Insert, Update, and Deletes. Based on the passed primary key, the procedure determines what it should do. For example:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE udp_users_processing
@key int output,
@name varchar(200),
@status int
AS
IF IsNull(@key,0)=0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ut_users(key, name, status) VALUES (@key, @name, @status)
SET @key = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
END
ELSE
IF KEY > 0
UPDATE ut_users SET key = @key, name = @name, status = @status
ELSE
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ut_users WHERE key = @key
END
This has the advantage of being compact, but it has issues with VS.NET and designer support. Loss of designer support isn't a huge problem, but it can be handy to have. I'm also not certain how this approach would work when using typed dataset and the table adapter to do updates.
What is YOUR opinion? How would YOU approach this in your situations? Are there other alternatives that might work just as well?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBest Practices White Paper On Pre-Installation Server Setup
Oct 17, 2007Evening,
I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
Thanks and have a great day!

Mar 27, 2007what pro's cons would there be to having a linked server run a local stored proc against another sql server or create that stored proc on that other sql server and call it from there in the c# code.
i would think that calling the stored proc would be more efficient that running a linked server - but please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure i can have permission to add a stored proc on that server, so possibly the linked server is the only solution - but if i can put a stored proc on that server should i?

Encryption Choices / Best Practices For Hosted Environment (shared Server)
Aug 29, 2007I'm building a hosted website and I am using SQL 2005.
The DBA for the host has told me that i can not encrypt a symmetric key with a certificate, when using that symmetric key for encryption. As i read that this method provided optimum performance/ security for encrypting columns of data.
The DBA told me i can use a cert or a symmetric key for encryption.
I have searched for comparisons and found a blog entry by Laurentiu Cristofor comparing certs with asymmetric keys. Which leads me to believe that certs and asymm are very different than symmetric keys.
My question is which is the best choice in a hosted environment for column encryption, a cert or symmetric key.
Which is more secure? Does one offer a significant performance (dis)advantage?

Best Practices SQL Server 2005, SSRS, SSAS, SSIS Setup
Oct 8, 2007I would like to know best practices for setting up my environment. To date, I've had everything running on a single server. That would include the database engine, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. The box configuration is dual hyperthreaded 3.6GHz Xenon with 4GB of RAM on Windows Server 2003. I just received a much larger server and want to configure it to maximize our environment. The new box contains four 2.6GHz Quad Core processors with 16GB of RAM. I would like to know if I should split the ETL and database engine from SSAS and SSRS, or should this box have enough horse power to house it all and use my other box as a dev environment. Also, we are planning to purchase Performance Point 2007 primarily for PAS and Scorecard Manager so please take that into consideration as well. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
