In my local instance of SQL Server at work (which I use for testing), somehow all of the logins except 2 were dropped. The administrators group no longer exists as a login (nor do any other windows users or groups)-the only 2 remaining are sa (which is disabled) and a SQL login I had created earlier which has no permissions except read permission on master. I can login as this SQL user, but I do not have permissions to create logins or enable the sa account. Do I have any options other than uninstalling and reinstalling my local instance?
We are working on an application but with other users who have been using the SA password. The application is running on MSSQL 6.5 and sp4. We have been generally assigning logins/userids to new users although some people are using the SA id. The SA id password has been changed so that will stop users (really developers) from using it.
Most users are assigned to a group which has select, insert, update, delete permission. Some users will be moved to a group which as only select privilege
I would like to query the system tables and see exactly what permissions are assigned to each user.
I can look at Enterprise manager and cut and paste this information I think.This is cumbersome
1) Does anyone have a query I can run to get the userid/login and the permissions for each userid?
2) How can I make a user a dbo and give him/her the same permissions as a dbo on tablesalready creaetd?
I am at a company with 18 employees and I have 11-12 databases in SQL server. I can't seem to give logins and permissions to groups. Is there a simpler way, or do I have to add every single employee to each database and give permissions?
I need to move several databases to a new server while retaining the same logins/permissions. Books Online indicates that DTS can move the SQL Server logins, but it sets the passwords to NULL in the process. Is there any way to move the logins and keep all passwords/permissions intact?
I know that there is Microsoft KB to migrate SQL Logins but it doesnt take care of Login Server level permissions or User level permissions.Idera used to have a Free tool SQLPermisions.exe but it works only on Windows XP/Vista not on Windows 7. Any third party tool (free or paid) which can migrate SQL Logins and User permissions ?
Hi,I work as an IT Administrator and part of my job role is to useEnterprise Manager and Query Analyzer to backup the logins andpermissions for each database on our SQL Servers. This information isused as a backup in the event of a server failing so we then havesomething to fall back on if we need to add the same logins/permissionsagain.This takes ages to do, as I have to manually enter all the informationinto a spreadsheet.Steps:- In Enterprise Manager I connect to a server then 'Security' tab, then'Logins'. I then enter all items into a spreadsheet.- In Query Analyzer I connect to a server then do 'sp_helpuser' to listall the permissions for each database. I then enter all informationinto a spreadsheet.I was wondering if there is such a program available on the market thatwould do this for me? I know that MS Baseline Security can show flatfile share permissions to a certain degree and was wondering if therewas a similar program out there to help me do my job easier, or ifthere is a simple way of doing this in the future...Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Jenny
Hello all,I am looking for the script, which I believe exists already.I need tobe able to populate the script for security of one database andapply it to another database, even if it is located on another server:1. All logins which not exist have to be created and which existsignored including the NT accounts2. Users same as the old database + the existing ones stay in database3. Passwords for the new logins.4. All permissions/grants on all objects for the users that exists(usually it's the case) and ignore those that don't.I have script which does some of it, but it's not perfect, so everytime there are some errors.Please let me know, if you need me to email script that I have. It'spretty long so I cannot just post it in here.Thank you in advance.
Query to show logins that don't have any permissions within the SQL instance? I'm tasked with doing some cleanup and have found some cases where the database was deleted or moved to another server but the logins that used it were not deleted. I'd like to identify them to research.
For instance a query to show logins that have no permissions in any of the existing databases would be handy. I'm thinking it would be complicated by the need to loop through all of the existing databases and then outer join it to the list of instance level logins. Going to try to write something like that but was hoping that a script already exists.
Our company has 2 Database Roles (DBE and DBA). The DBE creates database schema, performs SQL Server Administration, and manages server security. The DBA writes data access, ETL, and manages database security. In 2005, we're struggling with how to allow the DBA to see all of the logins on the server in order to add them as users of their database. What permissions does the DBA need to select from any of the logins on the server to add them to their database?
Does anyone know a way (a query perhaps?) to determine which logins have write permissions to a specific database on SQL Server 2005? Ive thought about joining sys.syslogins & sys.sysusers but looking at the columns, not sure which one would render me that info.
A question on the permissions hierarchy: Since logins, database users, and database roles are both principals and securables - what does it mean to GRANT permission on a login/user/role to another principal? Does it mean that for a login - you can GRANT permission to EXECUTE AS that login or modify it, for example?
ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem? Please, help Thanks
I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service. When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include: Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts. SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names. We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login. I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login. And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done. How do you associate db users with a Windows login? When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
I am helping another division with a problem of a dropped table. They have no backup and after dropping the table, the server has been re-booted 3 times. Is there a way to recover the table with no backup?
Here's a poser. I run a VB application to import data from a text file into a SQL 6.5 database. Typically, there'll be 300,000 records, all of which have to be processed. Time taken will be in excess of 2 hours.
When the application finishes, I try to go into Enterprise Manager and run a Select Count(*) to verify that the data's been imported. Invariably, I get an error reading: "A connection could not be established to <server> - [SQL Server] Could not allocate a new object descriptor for required system catalog in database '1'. Another database must be closed or objects in another database dropped in order to open this database." I get the same error whether I try to view Current Activity, open the Query Tool or simply expand the server in the Server Manager area. Usually, it means I have to re-boot the server, which is not popular with other users. Does anybody know what's causing this and what might be the solution? Thanks.
I believe I deleted a maintenance plan that was attached to a job and therefore have received the following message:
Drop failed for Job 'Shrink DSS Database.Subplan_1'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
An execption occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlSserver.connectionInfo)
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_subplan_job_id". The conflict occurred in database "msdb", table "dbo.sysmaintplan_subplans", column 'job_id'.
The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 547)
Is there a T-SQL or other means I can use to remove this constraint and delete the job show it does not show up in SQL Server Management Studio any longer?
Somebody has dropped my SQL table in (multiuser environment),now I want to know who has done that. Is there any way by which I can retrieve that(user name or machine name)? I am using SQL 2005.
I'm trying to drop a table onto the design view in Web Matrix and the following message appears: "dropped table does not have a primary key and cannot be used".
I'm using a SQL 2000 database that was previously an MSDE 2000 database. Is there anyway that I can define a column as a primary key?
Hi All, Accidentally I have dropped a table and that is the main table for my application. I dont have a backup of it. Is there any way to recover it.Please help me guys. Thanks, Kumar.
Hi ONLY ONE of our many stored procedure is getting dropped in SQL 7.0. We were not able to find thru SQL Profiler. Let me know any alternate methods to find it or the possible reasons why/how the sp is getting dropped.
I have the following problem that I need to find a solution. I have created a generic user id and login in the model datbase on SQL 7. However the genericuser does not show in the explorer window for some databases, does not work on some databases. I have to go into TSQL and use dropuser to get rid off them and re-link them again.
Does any1 have a clue about why this happening? How it can be solved?
I was doing a DTS import and accidently imported into the wrong database, dropping very critical tables. Please let me know how I can restore these transaction back. My last backup was 24 hours ago, and I just need to restore a few hours back.
Hi..I just restored a databae from backup. After restoring, as usual, from the Enterprises manager, I want to delete the database user and readd again from the DB login name. But when I tried to delete the DB user, it prompts me the following.
"the selected user cannot be dropped because the user owns objects"
why? I never encountered this b4 ? I restored DB again but problem still the same. Any ideas?
After installing a Zen Cart plugin I was getting errors that there was a duplicate entry for the mysql table so I went in and dropped the table assuming that it would come back when I re - installed everything, anyways I have the PHP code that created the table but not sure how to recreate it or if that's even possible. Also my main way to get to change anything is phpMyAdmin, I tried importing the code there but that didn't work.
accidently i have issued a DROP DATABASE XXX command in the sql client, thinking its a local server....... The whole 4 months of database database is now dropped.
Please help me , how can i recover the database ....
I'm in trouble, I have just dropped a table from a sql dbase and now need to recreate it. I have no backup and I am panicking!!! I need to know if I can recrreate them .
I installed 2 SQL2000 servers at a client site, the first acting as a publisher and distributor for transactional replication. The second is a push subscription to the first. The client wanted to change the database name, and some other stuff, so I removed the replication and set it up again for the new database name.
All's fine at the publisher / distributor but the subscriber is showing as still having active push subscription to the old (and new) databases
My sql server is setup to use windows authentication. From time to time one of the applications on that server would have issues connecting to that server. I changed it to use sql authentication and all of a sudden all the problems went away.
