I have downloaded the Express Edition of SQL Server 2005 to try to learn the software to take the MCTS test for certification. I have installed the software and the SMS. I have downloaded the AdventureWorks database files and installed everything as directed. I use Windows authentication to log in (it's my own home PC). I have followed the instructions to attach the database to the instance I am using.
The problem I'm having is in trying to run examples from the book I'm using on the database. For example, I'm trying to run a simple query like "SELECT * FROM dbo.DatabaseLog;" When I click execute, I keep getting this message:
"
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo.DatabaseLog'.
"
When I look at the Object Explorer pane, I can clearly see the table and see that I am spelling it correctly.
I have set my login up as the owner of the database and when I try to set up permissions on the table, I only see the roles [user] and [guest]. I tried setting up permissions for both, but that didn't help.
Re: Possible Vista-only security issue opening a TCP connection to SQL2005
Please help. I have a problem that appears to be rare. I'm testing the culmination of a year's work and the error I'm getting is at the most basic level (the SQL connection) while everything else so far is working as coded.
My client is Windows Vista, apparently no firewall (I say apparently as in recent years MS have put more and more facades over the actuality of the operating systems), my server is Windows 2003 Server b3790 SP2 with SQL 2005 Standard 1399.06, again no firewall.
PortQuery 2.0 reckons that the server is listening on port 1433, too, so it doesn't seem like a firewall issue.
Nothing reported in either Event Viewers.
Here's the stack dump:
Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

And here's the connection string, which is built using the SqlConnectionStringBuilder:
I have tried an old project which used to connect to the same server using a more basic connection string (it was a project which populated my Research db with fake data) and it also fails. When I ran this project successfully I'm pretty sure it was on an XP client.
I have also ran my TestHarness .exe on another client (WinXP) and it appears to pass this point and raises an exception that I believe is caused at a later point - so it looks like a Vista client issue.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Luke
P.S. Some losely related thoughts; the MSDN forum system still logs me out on Vista when I try to submit a thread, please sort this out! You can't expect your customers to run around deleting cookies. Also, when will you finally deprecate the default Named Pipes!? And finally, having that "does not allow remote connections" error spewed out with all connection errors is a really bad design choice, in my opinion.
I have trying to execute the Sendmail task in my development envinorment i face this error..I have given the clear details error message below,Please have a look.

hi all,i have created a new login say "me" with the same userid and the password to access my database "test".I created this using the Enterprise Manager so i am not well aware of the securities and permissions in the sql server 2000.The problem is that with this login "me" i can access the master and pubs database which i dont want as i have set the permissions to access only the "test" database.I have checked this in the securties-->Logins-->Database Access tab.Any help on this pls.
I have a permissions issue where I have created a database for a user and made him dbo. He wants to create a new SP in the database so he is connecting to another SQL server (where he has sa priviledge) and copying the contents of a SP.
When he creates a new SP in the database I created for him he gets the following error message:
"Error 118:Only members of the sysadmin role can specify the WITH LOG option for the RAISERROR statement."
The SP procedure is as follows:

Hi I am using SQL Express2005 on my local machine. How do I grant access permissions to ASPNET in order to log onto a database? I have the SQL management studio installed to do this but I can't seem to find the option to grant permissions. At the moment the access is granted to MYMACHINE_NAMEMY_USER_NAME. I am using VS2003 Thanks
Hi, I am having 10 tables in my database. Some times users are complianing that they are not getting permission to one particular table. I checked the table and the owner is dbo only. Why it is behaving like this. the users having all permissions on the database. Pls suggest me.
I am converting a multitude of Access databases from 2.0/95/97 to xp and at the same time moving to a client/server model using SQL Server. This is the first time I have used SQL Server and I am having problems that seem to be related to permissions: I am unable to select, go to, update or delete a record via the application I have built. This may be a flaw in my development skills or a problem with permissions. I cannot find how to apply universal permissions to every column in every table (which is what i want at this point) and any changes that I do make are not reflected in Access. Any ideas are gratefully received.
I have created an adp, and have created stored procedures for all of my forms. In the SQL Server database I have given my users permissions as db_datareader and db_datawriter, however they were unable to open any of my forms because they didn€™t have execute permissions on my stored procedures. I finally had to give them permissions as db_owner so they could use my forms. Do I have to give them db_owner permissions to execute my stored procedures? I know I can go in and assign them execute permissions for my stored procedures, but there has to be a better way. Does anyone know how to give users execute permissions on stored procedures without having to give them db_owner permissions or having to grant execute permissions for each stored procedure individually?
I am still in the development phase of my project and having to assign users or groups with each stored procedure I create could really be a pain. Can someone please help me?
What kind of permissions do you need to be able to run a job created by another user or sa if you are not the job owner and don't have any sys admin priveldges??
Hi all,I need some help to access an SQL db on another machine. I am using VB.NETand remoting to make a client/server connection...although I don't thinkthis is relevant to the question.I have been asked to help with a small db project that will reside on ouroffice server and have approx. 5 users.I have installed a copy of MSDE on my development machine and plan on doingthe same on my office 'server'....in fact it may well already be on there. Ialso have another testbed to act as the client.Because I don't really know what I'm doing...........I have copied the dbcreated on my client to the server. I have done this by 'cheating'. I usethe VB.NET IDE to create the correctly named db under the sql server. I thengo to this file in windows explorer and write over it (and the .LDF) withthe file from the client.When I try to connect to this db remotely I get a fail to connect errorabout not recognising 'localmachinenameguest'...sorry, not the exact errorwording. I can provide this if it will be helpful.Can anyone point me in the right direct?I don't have any sql/db tools other than anything that is included with MSDE(which I don't think is much).I will be posting other Q's for any experts out there!Thanks in advance.Phil
Hello,We have a database in MS SQL 2000 and I'm trying to link to it from MSAccess XP. I've created a user with full access to one specific tablein the MS SQL database, but Access won't write to it.I can open this table in MS Query Analyzer and log-in as the user, andI can do update, delete, and select queries just fine... but when Ilink to the table from MS Access using the same MS SQLusername/password, I can only read the data... no write or delete.Since I can update data fine in MS Query Analyzer, I assumepermissions are setup properly. Anyone know why I can not edit thelinked data from MS Access?Thanks,Alex.
I want to allow a user to only select from certain tables in a SQL 2005 database. Without granting any permissions, the user can select from any table.
All tables are owned by dbo. I am using a Windows login and it is not a member of any groups other than one to allow Terminal Server logins.
SQL login properties: Only server role is Public Mapped to a user with the same name Default schema is dbo No securables listed
User properties: No owned schemas No role memberships No securables listed
Database permissions: Under explicit permissions, this user is only granted Connect Effective permissions lists everything!!!
Where are these effective permissions coming from? TIA
Hello team, I have learned quite a bit from everyone here. I have decided to post a question for you guys and see what the best method is. Our Sr. DBA has asked me to get a list of all of our users permissions on all of our databases. We have about 20 SQL servers some of which have more databases and instances than I have fingers and toes. Can anyone recommend any solution to this problem? Perhaps there is a script I can download/write which will help me on this? Thanks in advance.
I am a newbie and i need to provide access for developer for him to use bulk insert ... on temp tables. what permission do i need to provide the developer i cannot provide bulkadmin permission to him what are the other ways to provide him the access.
We are having problems with the response times from UPS WorldShip after switching from SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
I think that the problem can be fixed from the database end by setting the permissions correctly for the user/role/schema that is being used by WorldShip to connect to the server but, I'm not sure how to do it.
The Setup
Client UPS WorldShip 8.0 running on XP Pro SP2 Connecting via Sql Native Client via SQL Server Login Connection is over a T1 via VPN
Server - SQL Server Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003 2x3ghz Xeon processors w/ 4gb ram
The user that is being used to connect runs under it's own schema and role and only needs access to two tables in a specific database on the server.
What UPS WorldShip seems to be doing is on a continual basis retrieving information about the layout of the database via calls such as the following
This seems to happen whenever WorldShip contacts the database to find out information in order to be able to create a mapping to the database as well as exporting information to it. Because of the VPN connection these calls take anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes.
I am fairly confident that the problem lies with these calls to the database which I was able to capture using the SQL Server Profiler. We have experimented with the following setups.
1. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Native Client - No noticeable lag 2. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Server 2000 driver - No Noticable lag 3. Connecting to SQL 2005 locally with SQL Native Client - No Noticable lag 4. Connectiong to SQL 2005 over VPN with SQL Native Client - Lots of lag
Our network admin has been testing the network connections over the VPN and it is very responsive with none of the long wait times found when using UPS WorldShip.
Now for a possible solution other than getting UPS to fix their software. I think that by limiting the tables and views that the login is able to see will cut down significantly on the lag times that are being experienced. The problem is that there were 264 items that were being returned by sp_tables. I was able to cut that down to 154. I am unable to disable access to any of the rest of the items because they are server scoped.
Take for example the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS view. When I try to deny access to it in any way I get the following error:
Permissions on server scoped catalog views or system stored procedures or extended stored procedures can be granted only when the current database is master (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4629)
Am I able to deny access to these types of object and if so how? Also, what objects should be accessable such as sys.database_mirroring, sys.database_recovery_status, etc?
How do I grant a user permissions to only one table in a database.  How would it affect him using our Main App which is NAV with regards to his user's permission in NAV
Goodday all I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to work through a tutorial using a sample database , Adventureworks. When I drag a table "Address" onto my page to set up a grid veiw , and start debugging , the error message reads "invalid object name Address" On the database explorer the table has (Person) next to the name Address. This I think has something to do with the schema. I cannot get it right to change anything , no matter what I try. I have used this data base in a windows application and it works fine. No (Person ) attached to the table name. Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks Rob
I've download and installed the sample database but the Server can't see it .. it doesn't appear in the User databases. I installed using the defaults. Anyone ha d the same problem and solved it?
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.
I downloaded and installed the .msi from codeplex. After installation I open SQL Server Management Studio but don't see AdventureWorksDB in the list of databases. How is this possible? Should I not be seeing this new database? Do I have to do something else?
I am unable to attach the AdventureWorks database in management studio. I installed it when I installed SQL Server 2005 but can not find the mdf or ldf files anywhere. When I inserted the installation disks again to do a custom instal, and selected AdventureWorks, the response came back that it was already installed. What do I need to do to be able to attache this db in the management studio?
I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 express Edition with advanced services.
My attempt to install the AdventureWorks from "Add or Remove Programs" failed for I was not able to see the "Documentation, Samples, and Sample Databases" node from "Feature Selection".
After reading a little bit I discovered that I had to download AdventureWorks from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/librry/ms144235.aspx
First I downoladed and installed SqlServerSamples.msi and then AdventureWorksDB.msi however I cannot find AdventureWorks.mdf to attach to my instance? Inside the folder C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQ.1MSSQLData I have AdventureWorks_Data.mdf and AdventureWorks_Log
I've installed AdventureWorks, attached it to SQL Express and wanted to see its Database Diagrams. When I click on the Database Diagrams, I get this error message:

Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
I really see that in properties for this database there's no owner, while if I do
sp_helpdb 'AdventureWorks'
It shows that the owner is 'IDB-SERVMichael' , which is my user.
I further tried to set this user as an owner in AdventureWorks properties-files window (where it showed no owner), but it says :
