New SQL Database Setup From Access
Feb 6, 2008
Hi,
I currently have a single Access database with the following information:
* A bunch of lookup tables
* A bunch of "main tables"
* A "snapshot" of our entire portfolio created from various joins using the main tables and lookup tables. This "snapshot" is about 22MB and is deleted and recreated sometimes on a daily basis. I compact the database regularly to keep the size down. There are other snapshots.
The snapshots are creates by various Access queries and there are various VBS / VB6 codes that either modifies the data or formats/dumps data from this database into Excel.
I'm planning on upsizing this to a SQL 2005 server and am planning on this:
1 database with the lookup tables
1 database with the "main tables"
1 database with the snapshots
All the databases set to auto-shrink...
Is this the best way to approach this?
The VBS / VB6 modules will be eventually migrated to VB.NET and ASP.NET
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hello
Normally we installs our SQLServers for internal use, but now we've a data supplier which we're going to expose a SQLServer at.
The datasupplier should be able to log on the SQLServer, so I've done the following.
Created an IP-adress from the outside to point at our server
Opened port 1438 in the firewall
Installed SQLServer 2000 Developer Edition as an instance (ie. ServerAINST001)
Opened SQL Server Network utility, selected the correct instance and TCP/IP and altered the default port to 1438
And tried to connect, but with no luck. Can anybody guide me in the right direction?
Kind regards
Janus

I am trying to setup an ODBC data source for Access. The server I'm trying to connect to is 2008 R2. I have SQL Server Management Studio installed on the computer where I'm trying to make the ODBC Data Source from. I can connect the the remote 2008 server through Management Studio, but in the ODBC wizard I do the following:
"Machine Data Source" tab, click "New"
Select "User Data Source", click "Next >"
Select "SQL Server", click "Next >"
Click "Finish"
Name: remote

All:
I am writing an Internet/Extranet based (ASP.Net 2.0) web application that uses SQL server 2005 as the database. I am using forms authentication on my web application. I am also storing the connection string to SQL server in my web config file. The conn string is encrypted using DPAPI with entropy. I currently have created a SQL login account on my SQL server for use by the web application. This is the user ID I am using in my conn string. The reason for this is because all persons using the application will NOT have a windows login.
Here is my question: The login I created currently has defaulted to the "dbo" role and therefore has "dbo" rights to the database. I want to setup up this login account so that all it can do is execute stored procedures. I dont want this SQL login to be able to do anything else. In my application I am using stored procedures for ALL data access functions, via a data access layer in my application. Can someone guide me step by step as to how to setup this type of access for this SQL login.
Thanks,
Blue.

I have report server setup on the same machine where the sql server 2005 db is setup, as well as iis running the website. i simply need to get report server running to allow internet access. I have report server setup so that it is running locally (localhost), however, as soon as I change the iis site settings to a domain name, report server stops working properly. This looks like a permissions issue, Ive tried different combinations of settings, but nothing works. Any insight on how I can get report server setup for internet access (forms authentication), would be much appreciated.
thanks, lance

Here is my situation: I am creating a database driven ASP.Net web application that will be used over the internet. My ASP.Net application connects to my SQL server 2005 database/server by using a SQL server login. I am using the DPAPI API to encrypt my connection stings with a hidden entropy value for extra security. I am using the SQL login for obvious reasons, as my users will not have a windows login.
What I am trying to do: I want to limit this SQL login account to be able to just run/execute stored procedures and NOT access the tables or views directly. In my ASP.Net application I am using the MS applications data block, and I am using stored procedures for every single database access action. There is no inline SQL being executed from my web application.
What I have tried so far:
I created a new schema and made the above SQL login account owner of this schema. I then granted "Execute" permissions to the SQL login and DENY permissions to all other permissions.
I created an database role with "Execute" only permissions and DENY permissions to all other permissions.
What Happened: In BOTH of the above scenarios I tested a direct SQL statement against one of my tables, from my ASP.Net application and I was able retrieve data back, NOT GOOD, exactly what I am trying to STOP.
If someone could give me (Step-by-Step) guide on how to setup the situation I am looking for, I would be very grateful!
Thanks to all that help!

I have a dashboard page that I would like to load fast. But I would also like the user to be able to run the report On-Demand. The report has start date and end date parameters which default to the first and last day of last month. If I use a Cache plan that loads at 6AM the report runs with the default parameters set in the report, the user has to wait until it completes before they can change the parameters.
If I uncheck "use default" parameters in the report I lose the ability to set a cache refresh plan with the default parameters because the option is greyed out. So is there anyway outside of creating a second copy of the report to allow a user to open a report, change the parameters and run it, but also have a way to schedule some sort of Cached report for the default parameters so I can put that on a WebPart page that would load instantly?

When I create logins for SQL Server 2012, something strange happens. When I assign the sysadmin role to a login, the login loses the access to the network drives (for example when creating or attaching databases). The only possible place is the c:drive of the computer that is running SQL Server.

I have been struggling with this for a while and cannot get it right. I have read countless articles on the internet as well as MSDN documentation about SQL Server 2005 and no success so far.
What I want is a database with multiple SCHEMAS, DATABASE ROLES and USERS in order to have a finer grade of security to access the various objects.
My schemas are (in order to simplify the situation and provide an example of the setup):
- [dbo] the standard DBO schema which is always default. Contains public objects.
- [com] a special module integrated into the system
- [ofc] contains objects used by back-office only
- [aud] contains objects used for auditing, etc.
Each of these schemas has their fair share of tables, views, functions and stored procedures which have been created appropriately (i.e. CREATE TABLE [ofc].[Addresses]), in other words prefixed by the name of the schema to which they belong.
Then I have created various database roles (don't confuse them with SQL2005 application roles) as follows:
- PublicRole mostly used for viewing, no data alterations
- WorkerRole used by front end processes that need write access to data in [dbo] and [aud]
- OfficeRole used by back-office for dealing with backoffice data (basically [ofc], [aud] stuff)
- AdminRole used by application administrator
Each of these database roles has been defined with owner 'dbo', none of them own any schemas. And last but not least to each of these roles I have selected the above named schemas (dbo, ofc, aud) as securables and for each of those securables schemas I have then given the correct set of GRANT/DENY on the Alter, Control, Delete, Execute, Insert, References, Select, Update, Take ownership and View definition.
As an example, the PublicRole role has been given the following permissions (Y=GRANT, N=DENY):
Table #1 of Application Permissions [dbo] [com] [ofc] [aud]Alter N N N N
Control N N N N Delete N N N N Execute Y Y N Y Insert N N N Y References Y Y N Y Select Y Y N Y Update N N N Y Take ownership N N N N View definition N N N N
And I have the following minimum set of database users defined (the server login has the same name):
- upublic, assigned to PublicRole
- uworker, assigned to WorkerRole
- uoffice, assigned to OfficeRole
- uadmin, assigned to AdminRole
As I understand when I assign these users to a particular custom Database Role, the users inherit the permissions granted to THAT role thus liberating me from having to assign the permissions to each and every user account on the same role.
What I expected was that when I logged in to the database with the upublic user account I would at least be able to view (SELECT at least) ALL the objects with the exception of those in th e[ofc] schema. Unfortunately the account is not able to access ANYTHING at all, I get an error like
"The SELECT permission has been denied on object XYZ, database DB, schema 'dbo'"
So, when I use Management Studio to look at the properties I selected the PublicRole and it showed the upublic user as a member of the role (Members of this role). So far so good.
Then when I switch to the Securables page for this role it shows all the schemas I defined and for each of them the same list shown in Table #1 except it has two lines for each permission, the first for Grantor dbo and the second for Grantor upublic. The first has the same permissions I assigned to the role (as shown on Table #1) but the 2nd does not show a checkmark on either GRANT or DENY!!! For example ([x] = checked, [ ] unchecked):
Table #2 Explicit permissions for Securable
Permission Grantor Grant Grant-with Deny
Select dbo [x] [ ] [ ] Select upublic [ ] [ ] [ ]
What am I doing wrong here? Apparently I then have to repeat the whole grant/deny for EACH and EVERY USER I define when the idea was that I would grant/deny on the database role and every member of that role would inherit those permissions automatically.

We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?

One structure holds all and have indexed views for current data
separate structure for current and historical data

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.Â
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.

I am trying get a database setup in my new install of VS 2005. I have a project on one PC where I just have VS2005 installed and i am able create a website, go to the APP_DATA folder and add a database. On another PC I have VS 2005 installed and then I installed SQL server 2005. Now I fail to connect to ??? when I try and enter the sercuity page of webconfig or try to add a database when I open the APP_DATA folder. There have been many things done on this PC between the install of the two mentioned packages and trying this database creation. However, I feel that something related to the install of SQL Server 2005 after VS 2005 has done something unexpected. Or, I need to manage something between the SQL Express version that got loaded with VS 2005 and the subsequent install of SQL Server. I just don't know what to look for at this point.

I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?

I am new to SQL Server 7 and am not sure how to handle setting up/importing FoxPro databases. The consultants that setup the database before me have combined all of the FoxPro databases into one big database in SQL server. The reasoning was that for user applications to have access to different databases in SQL they would need a connection for each database they are using, so if all the data is put into one database then the user would only have one database connection instead of 6 or 7.
Does this make sense to anyone? Someone else thought that this might have been true is SQL Server 6.5 but not in SQL Server 7.0.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I'm having an issue setting up Database Mirroring. The environment here could be an issue.
I'm trying to set this up using 2 different servers both are SQL Ent Edition SP2, windows 2003. I'm not using a witness at this time. The 2 servers do not belong to a domain. They are both in workgroups.
I can setup the endpoints and everything up to the point just before I start mirroring. The issues happen when I go to start mirroring. It gives me a nasty error "please use a FQDN to establish the endpoints. The problem here is I don’t have any FQDN for these servers since they're in a Workgroup.
So, my question here is and I haven't found anything stating that you can't set up mirroring in a workgroup environment but is it possible? I'm assuming since its yelling at me for a FQDN that I can't. Is there any other ways to implement mirroring without a domain?
Thanks for your time, help!

Hello,
We have vendor that is implementing an employee self serve application for current and potential employees (employment applications). There is a web server in our DMZ that has the application installed but also on the server is a SQL database that has names and social security numbers. This server will also query the backend accounting server for earnings statements and W2s. We have a Cisco ASA as the firewall and SSL to protect client authentication from the Internet. There is no SSL between the web server and the accounting server. The fact that the SQL database on the web server containing SSN associated with names concerns me. It seems that none of this information is masked or encrypted and can be seen if the server was to ever be compromised.
My idea of such a service involves a web server that queries the backend database over SSL and presents the information to the user over SSL. No personally identifiable information would be resident on the web server at all, just a facade. That is not the case and it is not what we described to them as to what we want.
It seems they have installed it the only way they know how which is not secure, or maybe it is, that's why I am here. They have installed this at numerous locations and they actually wanted any and all ports open between the web server and the backend accounting server. It took us a while to get them to follow the rule of least privilege but we essentially had to do it ourselves.
Also on our main webserver for our Internet site I found the test database they used almost 2 years ago to test this application along with names and SSN. This was before I arrived and there is no encryption or authentication for this server. Is this good secure practice? All my training says no but it is hard to believe a mutli-million dollar organization is this ignorant. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, TJX didn't pay attention either.
I saw this thread which provide some good information but I am not a database admin and I am not familiar with SQL services, etc.
My questions are: Is their implementation secure? Does anyone know where I can find more info regarding web services and HIPAA? I read where 2 firewalls are required but would like documentation to show. Any suggestions on how to implement this securely?
Thanks for the help,
Mike

Good Afternoon all,
We just migrated to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 about six months ago. Everything seems went on very well. Database itself and most of our programs which access the database all are working just fine. But recently we encountered a database accessing problem. We have a program which reads database using a login ID and a password. The program works fine when programmer A log onto the server and run it. But when another programmer, say programmer B, log onto the server and try to run the same program with the same login ID and password. Accessing to the database was denied. Both programmer A and B have the same Database Adminstrator privilege. What did we do wrong is setting up the database? Can any of you help us solving the mystery? Thanks. Happy Holiday.

Im a beginner in ASP.NET and SQL. Please tell me how to run and paste a few tags on "SQLCMD T-SQL execution command line utility" (90ToolsBinn). Its SQL Express 2005. I cant paste a tag of an ASP.NET beginners site http://www.asp.net/GuidedTour/default.aspx). I cant set up a data base without doing it.
When attempting to run this installer (SQLCMD T-SQL execution command line utility), I get the DOS screen but not the 1> command prompt. If I leave the screen alone, the DOD command window closes after about 5 seconds.
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsinnSQLCMD" -S "machine-nameSqlExpress"
If I retry the prompt, same thing happens. Attempts to Paste the script are unsuccessful, and the DOS command screen closes on it's own.
Tank you very much,
