Is there any tool available that can encrypt Credit card numbers or other fields stored in the database? For example, when a customer enters his credit card number or his password on the site, is there a way by which the Front end can encrpt the field before storing it in the database and decrypt it when it the customer requests it, through the application?
table Orders ord_id int ord_CudtomerID int, ord_CardNo char(16)
Example values in table CreditCardRange 1 , 5000 0000 2000 1234 , 5000 0030 3000 1356
Example values in table Orders 1, 1, 5000 0010 2000 2333
Does sql provide any magic finction to help in following select
select T1.* from Orders T1 join CreditCardRange T2 on T2.ccr_CudtomerID = t1.ord_CudtomerID and SQLMagicFunction(T1.ord_CardNo) between SQLMagicFunction(T2.ccr_CardRangeFrom ) and SQLMagicFunction(T2.ccr_CardRangeTo )
I am new to SQL developement ( am .Net developer). I need to implement a stored proc in sql 2005 on CC expiration task.
I have CC exiration date. By using expiration date (like '01/08'),
Conditions are:
1. If CC expiring within 31 days. Stored proc will write the Customer data in EmailNotification table with message type =1. (Customer will not get second notification until 14 days before expiring)
2. If CC expiring within 14 days. Stored proc will write the customer data in EmailNotification table with message type =2. (Customer will not get second notification until 11 days before expiring)
3. If CC expiring within 11 days. Stored proc will write the customer data in EmailNotification table with message type =3. (Customer will not get second notification until 2 days before expiring)
4. If CC expiring within 2 days. Stored proc will write the customer data in EmailNotification table with message type and update orderStatusID to On Hold CC Expired in order table.
My Tables are
1.
TABLE [dbo].[Order]( [OrderID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CustomerID] [int] NOT NULL, [CustomerCode] [nvarchar](12) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DateCreated] [datetime] NOT NULL, [DateOrdered] [datetime] NOT NULL, [OrderTypeID] [int] NULL, [OrderStatusID] [int] NULL, [LastProcessDate] [datetime] NULL,
2. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Payment]( [PaymentID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [OrderID] [int] NOT NULL, [OrderPaymentType] [nvarchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [PaymentType] [nvarchar](2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [CreditCardNumber] [varbinary](max) NULL, [Last4DigitsOfCreditCardNumber] [nvarchar](4) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [ExpirationDate] [varbinary](max) NULL, [CVV2] [varbinary](max) NULL, [Amount] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL
3. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer]( [CustomerID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CustomerCode] AS ([dbo].[udf_FormatCode]('RS',[CustomerID])), [Email] [nvarchar](100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [FirstName] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [MiddleName] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [LastName] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DateCreated] [datetime] NOT NULL, [DateModified] [datetime] NOT NULL, [MembershipTypeID] [int] NULL
Please atleast basic structure of stored proc code. It will greatful to me.
We need to store credit cards for a limited amount of time because we charge for orders as they ship and occasionally the authorization expires before the item can ship.
I know I can use AES_256 to encrypt our credit cards but I am not sure if all I need to do is follow the directions in the "How-to" for encrypting data.
I created the master key, backed it up off the server the certificate and the symmetric key and I can encrypt and decrypt data.
Is this all I need to do or am I missing something?
Hi friends, i got an issue on my website regarding theft of cc details...sql db contains credit card details table ... it has been hacked by someone...we have analysed that latest cards are misused.. i have tried different scenarios(sql injection) ... what are all the key things have to check and implement .can any one advise please..
I have typed a query by combining multiple tables to show sum of TotalReceivedAmount by MRN. It also have payment mode which is paid by cash or credit card. Now the query shows the sum for MRN combining all the payment done by credit card and cash. How am I supposed to show the amount paid by credit card and cash separately?
Here is the query :
SELECT Distinct dbo.CA_Payment.MRN, dbo.CA_Patient.FirstName, dbo.CA_PaymentModeMaster.Description AS PaymentMode, CASE (dbo.CA_Payment.PaymentModeID) WHEN 2 THEN dbo.CA_Payment.CardNumber END AS CreditCardNumber, CASE (CA_Registration.PatientTypeID) WHEN 1 THEN dbo.CA_PatientTypeMaster.Description WHEN 2 THEN dbo.CA_DebtorMaster.DebtorName END AS Debtor,
Hi,A co-worker is creating a vb.net web application which uses theCryptKeeper.dll to encrypt credit card numbers into a sql database.It is my job to pull these encrypted numbers and use the decryptmethod of this dll to show the credit card numbers on a ReportingServices report. I'm not even sure where this should be done. In thesql stored procedure or in the report itself? Any help would begreatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Amy Bolden
I have a question in one of the interviews relates to MS Certification.
Is it require to have the MCDBA in SQL Server 2000 certification or required 2005 version certification?
If so, What is the main difference in having that over 2000 version.
Then it went like What the difference it makes having certification and what are the general comments about it.
I know 2005 definetely have the edge over the 2000 certification but I didnt understand what the major advantage in having and have not such certification.
I was thinking of doing certification from Microsoft. I was first intending to write exam 70-229 which is : Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition.
The Microsoft site http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/exams/70-229.asp#TOOLS has a list of topics that I need to be familiar with in order to pass the exam, but it does not have the detailed information. Can someone guide me to a place where I can go to get the detailed information about these topics so that I can prepare better for the certification exam? thanks Aslam
I have been working with Ms access Database the last four years and have gained a lot of experience which help me to have extensive knowledge of Jet, Dao and Ado. Since The Begining of this year i hv been migrating to SQL server server and for that i bought two books :Programming Access project file with Microsoft Sql server and Access Developers Guide to Ms sql server : Chipman & Baron ( this oner is simply a great achievement ). They help me out in the very near past to complety migrate a two database approch Jet Application to a reliable (Adp/ SQL Server client server ) where major parts of the code business logic has been transfered to run on the server as stored procedures and all forms re-built as unbound. these merely leads to a great enhancement of the applications.
My goal now is register to MCDBA and get the certification. I am not interested by classroom training from Microsoft Parterns or online training. I am looking for books that can help to get well prepared for the exams.
Have found this two books in Amazon:
1 - MCAD/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation, Exam 70-229, Second Edition
2- MCSA/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 System Administration, 70-228, Second Edition
However their rating didn't encourage me to place directly my orders.
Does someone have any experience with them ?
Do you think they will considerably help me to add value to my knowledge of SQL Server and get ready for the exam ?
Do you know some others books you woul rather encourage me to buy ?
I am interested in doing SQL server certification. I don't know any information abt this. It would be gr8 if u ppl could give some details as to how many levels of certification are there, how much is the cost of certification, is there any pre-requiste for the same and so on...
Hello everyone. This is my first post on this board. I've been working for an investment bank in London (via an IT services company) as a DBA for a year now. It's pretty much my first real job since graduating from university. I did a bit of SAP before this job but it didn't really work out.
The work has been almost entirely on SQL Server 2000. I've done a bit of 2005 such as installs, backing up/restoring databases, setting up security.
I was thinking of doing an MCITP course in SQL 2005 in India early next year (my company will not pay for training - cheapos). The bank has recently been taken over by another bank and I don't know what the future holds beyond February, it's probably likely that the DBA's from the other bank will take over.
Do you think certification is needed? Would it be hard for me to get another job with the experience I currently have?
I find it difficult to study at home and the idea of going to India and getting the certification in 2 weeks appeals to me. Has anyone else ever been to a boot camp in India or elsewhere? Just how important is certification?
If you could provide me with some advice I would be most grateful.
I am reading Administering SQL Server, a study guide for 70-228on page 27, it says:"INSTEAD OF triggers are useful when a DML operation is unsuccessful."I think this is nonsense. Any comments?
I have planned to take up the exam 70-229 "Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition" as a select exam for MCAD".
Any links to sure shot Dumps avialable for the above exams OR any good E books.
I know this is not the forum for this question however i dont know where else to post it.
I am about to write my MCITP DBA Admin for Sql server 2005, however now that 2008 is being released this year i was thinking about maybe waiting and just writing 2008.
But i have had little luck finding out how the certifications will work.
Does anyone know if it will still be MCITP DBA Admin and Dev certifications but for 2008. Or will it be a whole new kind of certification path ?
Bottom Line is it worth while to do 2005 MCITP right now ? Perhaps 2008 certifications will only be available in 2009 ?
As part of UK compliance, we are going to start use an encrytption package (GNUPG), which will be running on a different Server to Reporting Services. A program has been written in C#, to handle requests (from mainframe and PC applications) to encrypt/decrypt credit card details. The encrypted card details are held in an NCR Teradata data warehouse, which Reporting Services can access. The encryption can be called using a http://server/folder/program?DATA=
In Reporting Services, a Data Source connection will be made, using an OLE DB .NET connection to the Teradata machine. SQL code will be included, which will link tables and retrieving the required fields for use in the report. I want to call the encryption program to decrypt the card number, so the actual card number can be printed in the body of the report.
There will probably be a requirement to write some parameter selection SQL as well, so a card nmuber can be entered as a report parameter field, which the SQL will have to either encrypt first, then process the SQL statement down the tables.
My employer has recently offered to pay for my certification exam (70-229) so I am about to start preparing/revising. Having visited numerous sites to get an idea of what is needed, I am now overwhelmed with info.
Has anyone out there successfully completed the exam and if so can you recommend any sites/resources that you found useful (or any to avoid).
I am about to start revising for exam 70-229 as part of my MS certification and was wondering if anyone has any advice/tips etc on revision material.
Having visited a number of sites I am now overwhelmed with the amount of study material. There are hundreds of sites offering exam training, others offering braindumps and others selling practice tests.
Does anyone know the best place to start and what material will get me up to speed the quickest. (Time is of the essence and I cannot afford to pay for training)
I'll be taking this test and was hoping for some input, please. 1. How long is it ? 2. Anything in particular I should look out for ? 3. Should you only spend a certain amount of time on each question ? 4. Any place I can find any coupons for the heavy $125 fee ? 5. What company did you sign up through ? 6. Any other input, would greatly be appreciated !!
I see that part of SP2 is the new CC certification -- can anyone give me some more details. What level is it at? EAL4? I can't seem to find the certificate on the CC Web site but it could be because it's not SP2 yet.
