I have a SQL-authenticated user that I want to be able to run a pass-thru query. The user was created solely for this particular job. I've given it appriopriate permissions on all the tables, views, and stored procedures directly involved in the task. BUT, the task fails.
If I have the query perform a simple task, like SELECT * FROM TABLE, it works,
but, not on this:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_gtn_RunFromAccess AS
EXEC msdb..sp_start_job @job_name='CA_GTN Download From Mainframe'
GO
If I give the user the DB_OWNER role, it fails; however, if I make it a sys admin, it suceeds. That is obviously no good. It also suceeds it I put sa and a password in the ODBC string, but that is unacceptable, as well.
What kinds of permission am I overlooking?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,

Hi guys, We have a scenario where there are about 50 tables in our database and we want to build an intranet web application for users to with the office to access those tables. Users ability to access tables falls into diferent category:
Some users can NOT view some tables at all Some users can ONLY view some tables but not insert/update any field Some users can view and also insert/update some tables (in the same time they might not have view(select) permision on some other tables) Now, what is the right way to implement this. I say we have to have a Role, RolePermission, User, UserPermission inside our database to implement this (something which would look like the Roles and Users inside MSSQL) and we only have one user for our Database (MachineName/ASPUSER) to access the database and all the tables within My colleague says NO, instead of creating all these tables and implement this, we add every user of our application as a Database user inside MSSQL in the Databse Users. All the web application I have seen so far, DNN, CommunityServer, ... the have tables to implement all these and they don't add users inside the MSSQL. Now which way is the way to go with, and what problem might we fall into if we use SQL users, is this possible at all. How can I convince him that we have to make and use our own tables to manage this. Thanks for any help,Mehdi
There's something I can't quite figure out about user creating
The application that I'm currently working on is interacting with DB, therefore every time you use application you need to login as user which is fine. The problem is that certain users should be able to create new users and the new user may even have the same level of permissions as the one that's creating it ( like admin creating another admin acount or some like that).
Question is how can I allow users to create these user with giving them as few permissions as possible.
If there's is somewhere a code sample on the net I would appreciate the link.
We have a third party application and wish to create a report based upon a view.
The strange thing is logged in to the server as a SQL SYSAdmin account, we cannot view the data via the view. SQL Admin accounts are setup correctly and there is nothing different on this particular server. No errors are returned just a blank view with no records.
Could this be a permissions problem or orphaned schemas in that particular database? I thought SYSAdmin could view and do just about anything and the people who use this particular database would not have the know how on denying permission to the SYSAdmin role.
Is it possible in SQL Server to set the priority at which a query will run for certain users. I have some users who's queries I never want to take over the database. These queries may take 10's of mintes to complete, and will slow down the server and affect the performance of more important queries. Is there a way to keep this from happeneing?
My development environment is IIS 5.1, asp.net 2.0, Visual Web Developer 05 Express, MS Sql 2005 Express with XP Pro. I used a "stored procedure" in a webpage Formview to insert a record in a child table after inserting a record in the parent table. All went well when testing in VWD. After deploying to remote site on same machine, I get an error "EXECUTE permission denied on object 'usp_Insertdataset', database 'Job_Tracker_SQL', schema 'dbo'"
when trying to insert. I know that SQL Express is not suppose to support stored procedures. Is there a work around? I need to host this site on this machine for the immediate future.
We have a DTS which loads files using FTP to another server. This will be used by app groups and will be run via click of button using sp_start_job,
Somehow the userid running the job gets "not sysadmin to run cmdshell.." Top fix that, we granted it to execute the xp_cmdshell and also created a proxy account for SQL Agent which is an admin on server and sql. However, still we get permission errors like "...The needed permission is missing to run command shell.." Please help . The DTS is being called from SQl Agent job and we don't want an admin ID to be used .
I have a stored procedure in my asp.net 2.0 app that will not run. I am using an sqlcommand object and executenonquery. At first I received an error "execute permission denied". I had already given the user on sql server read and write permissions. So -- since I was not passing the sql server userloginid or password in the connection string, I tried changing the connection string in my web.config to:
"data source=xxxSQL2005;initial catalog=AdventureWorks; User Id=myid;password=mypasswd"
now I get an error that the login has failed for user xxx. So I am wondering what I need to do to run stored procedure in a web app. I am using the full sql server version not express.
Looking at perfmon, I can see that SQL Server 2005 is running the CPU near 100% -- but I don't know what it's doing. How can I see a list of the queries that are currently executing?
Better yet, is there a more general "what is the database busy with right now" diagnostic tool somewhere? (I know I can capture a trace, but that won't show me what's already running, AFAIK.)
HelloWhen I use a PreparedStatement (in jdbc) with the following query:SELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = ?ORDER BY group_nameIt takes a significantly longer time to run (the time it takes forexecuteQuery() to return ) than if I useSELECT store_groups_idFROM store_groupsWHERE store_groups_id IS NOT NULLAND type = 'M'ORDER BY group_nameAfter tracing the problem down, it appears that this is not preciselya java issue, but rather has to do with the underlying cost of runningparameterized queries.When I open up MS Enterprise Manager and type the same query in - italso takes far longer for the parameterized query to run when I usethe version of the query with bind (?) parameters.This only happens when the table in question is large - I am seeingthis behaviour for a table with > 1,000,000 records. It doesn't makesense to me why a parameterized query would run SLOWER than acompletely ad-hoc query when it is supposed to be more efficient.Furthermore, if one were to say that the reason for this behaviour isthat the query is first getting compliled and then the parameters aregetting sent over - thus resulting in a longer percieved executiontime - I would respond that if this were the case then A) it shouldn'tbe any different if it were run against a large or small table B) thisperformance hit should only be experienced the first time that thequery is run C) the performance hit should only be 2x the time for thenon-parameterized query takes to run - the difference in response timeis more like 4-10 times the time it takes for the non parameterizedversion to run!!!Is this a sql-server specific problem or something that would pertainto other databases as well? I there something about the coorect use ofbind parameters that I overall don't understand?If I can provide some hints in Java then this would be great..otherwise, do I need to turn/off certain settings on the databaseitself?If nothing else works, I will have to either find or write a wrapperaround the Statement object that acts like a prepared statement but inreality sends regular Statement objects to the JDBC driver. I wouldthen put some inteligence in the database layer for deciding whetherto use this special -hack- object or a regular prepared statementdepending on the expected overhead. (Obviously this logic would onlybe written in once place.. etc.. IoC.. ) HOWEVER, I would desperatelywant to avoid doing this.Please help :)
I'm creating a search function right now and I'm running into a problem where my search function doesn't know what fields the user will search for, and therefore doesn't know whether or not to put quote marks around specific values or not.
For example, somebody might search for somebody else with year of birth in which case I might have a query:
SELECT userid FROM users WHERE yob = 1970
but somebody else might search for a name, in which case I need
SELECT userid FROM users WHERE first_name = 'Andrew'
or somebody else might search for both and need
SELECT userid FROM users WHERE yob = 1970 AND first_name = 'Andrew'
I'm accomplishing this by having the function (this is in PHP) take an array as an argument, where the key is the MySQL column and the value is the required value for that column. So in the 3rd example, it would be a 2-item array:
yob => 1970 first_name => 'Andrew'
And then cycling through that and dynamically creating a MySQL query based on the received array.
So... my problem is finding a way to specify when quote marks are required and when they're not. Is there any way to just have MySQL default to the format of the column? Also, if anybody thinks this isn't the right way to create a search function, let me know because I'm new at this .
Thanks!
PS: Right now what I'm doing is I'm creating arrays that include names of columns that do and don't need quote marks. Then in construcing the MySQL statement I'm checking to see which array a column is in, and making the quote decision based on that.
I have a large number of relatively simple sql queries that each perform tests on different tables returning different columns and rows for each test.
I would like to be able to run all of these at once and get the output in a usable format.
Would it be possible to run a single query or store procedure which could perform each test then output the results from each test to a new sheet in excel?
Could it output the results of each test to individual csvs?
I have written quite a complex query in Query Analyser, now need toknow how to automate the running of the query to dump the results intoa flat file at scheduled times. Am an experienced Unix user, where itwould be quite simple but new to sql server, is there a relativelysimple way to do this?
I developed an application uses sqlserver 2005 express edition
I create all queries in storedprocedures.every things work perfect but some times I get long delay in running queries. but after some minutes it comes regular . I coudlnt find any relation between delay and time of work.it comes by chance . also I set timeout for running query for 30 sec. but some times it took more than minutes.
Hello Could you please help me solving this problem? I have a stored procedure called subscribe for inserting a new row to subscriptions table. Then I added a new query (nonquery) to my dataset called 'Subscribequery' for handling the stored procedure. now, I want to run the query lke this: DataSet1TableAdapters.SubscribeQuery C = new DataSet1TableAdapters.SubscribeQuery(); C.Subscribe(Profile.UserName, Convert.ToInt32(Subscriptions.Rows[1].Cells[1].Text));
but nothing is added to table. what can I do? Should I be looking for something like Update(dataset) method for my query? many thanks in advance

I have queries which take over 30 secs to run, which I wish to monitor. Currently, I am monitoring using sql profiler. Is there any way of setting up mail to e-mail me when such a query happens. Could I set up an Alert, or is there some other method.
I want to be able to react to these events faster before the users complain. I am using sql server 7 enterprise and I have exchange set up.

When I execute this stored proc it runs for more than 5 minutes. Is there anything i can do to speed it up? Maybe there is a faster way of writing these queries?
Is there any way to measure the progress of a long running query, for instance, to find where in a query plan a query is in SQL 7.0?
I have a query I am running that is currently 2 1/2 hours into the query. Since it's joining three large tables, one with 42 million rows and two with 7 million rows, I'm expecting the query to take a while. However, I have no way of estimating exactly how long it will take. Before I ran it, I optimized it the best I could in Query Analyzer using an estimated query plan, making sure I had all the right indexes, etc. I've been trying to use the estimated cost to project query time, but that hasn't been working since queries with similar costs can take radically different amounts of time to execute.
Now I'm sitting here waiting, wondering if the query is just taking too long, and I should stop it and work on optimizing it some more (since I will have to run a couple more queries like it), or let it finish. But I have no clue how close it is to finishing. I've tried looking at the Physical I/O given by sp_who2 and then trying to calculate the number of pages it would have to read if it had to read everything from disk, then estimating it's progress by that, but this seems dubious at best, since I don't know a whole slew of factors (ie: how many pages are being read from the cache, is my page calculation correct, etc).
So, does anyone know of any way to figure out how soon a long running query will finish in SQL 7.0?
Hi,i am having a strange problem running memory intensive queries on SQLserver.I am doing an update on a table with 9 million records from anothertablewith 50 records.the query i am running isupdate table1set var1 = b.var2from table2 bwhere key1=b.key1this query hanges for ever. I had thought that there was a problem withmy machine...but once out of the blue it ran in 16 minutes.I am running a 1 Ghz PIII with 512 MB of memory.Any ideas as to what could be the issue ?RegardsRishi
I can't seem to find a step-by-step guide to how to detect orcontinuously monitor for long-running queries that is suitablefor a comparative SQL Server novice. I know that it is possibleto monitor for such with other database products - can anyoneenlighten me as to how this is done with SQL Server? Ideally,I'd like to snapshot running queries (preferably with querytext) at a particular instant via a script, although any helpto show what queries are running at an instant will be muchappreciated. Any ideas?__________________________________________________ ___________Are you Catholic ?http://www.CatholicEmail.com100s of FREE email addresses --->http://www.UltimateEmail.comSend an Online Greeting Card http://www.UltimateEcards.com
I have a very long transaction that runs on the same database thatother users need to use for existing data. I don't care if they seedata from the transaction before it is done and am only using thetransaction because I need a way to roll it back if any errors happenduring the transaction. Unfortunately all tables affected in the longrunning transaction are completely locked and nobody else can accessany of the affected tables while it is running. I am using thetransaction isolation level of read uncommitted, which from my limitedunderstanding of isolation levels is the least strict. What can I do toprevent this from happening?Below is the output from sp_who2 and sp_lock while the process isrunning and another process is being blocked by it.SPID Status LoginHostName BlkBy DBName Command CPUTimeDiskIO LastBatch ProgramName SPID----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ----------------- ---------------- ------- ------ ------------------------------------------ -----1 BACKGROUND sa. .

We have just implemented our new app and I need to improve performance. We are the victims of not having a very adequate stress testing tool prior to launch. Is there an easy way to track all queries or stored procs longer than a specified time?
