I have a user AD account SOPUSJSmith for example. I have given this account security admin at the SQL Server level and dbo at the database level. Is there any way to prevent them from using ODBC to pull data into an Access DB or an Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks in Advance - SOX is killing me!
Is there a way to use trusted connections in ASP.NET and WinForm applications yet prevent users from accessing databases directly (outside of applications) ? I know the use of trusted connections are recommended for several reasons however I have a lot of applications that I need to prevent users from accessing databases directly outside of the applications themselves.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a SQL database that uses Active Directory with Windows Authentication. Can users that are members of the Active Directory group that has read/write access to the SQL database create ODBC connections to access the database directly and update the data? They dont have individual logins on the server. They are only members of the Active Directory group that has a login?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs stated in the subject I have a situation where if database mirroring is employed for either manual or automatic failover, all the client (including web connections) connections use ODBC not ADO, or OLEDB etc... so what methods are recommended? Client side redirect is not available so I could not employe the "Data Source =A; Failover Partner=B..." option.
Right now the method employed (pre database mirroring and basically employing log shipping on SQL 2000) is to have a DNS alias for the ODBC connection so that if the server were to change in a failover situation the DNS record would have to be altered, so that all the client connections would not have to be reconfigured.

A colleague of mine has a problem;
"Has anyone ever experienced the problem of creating a System ODBC and it doesn't display in the ODBC administrator applet?"
was hoping someone here could help...
Hi.
I'm sorry of my english.
I have to servers.
Server A (local machine).
Server B (Remote machine with Integration Services withpackages after deployment).
In Server B i have some packages with ODBC connection..
In the Server A I have created the same ODBC connection.
I need to execute the packages that are in the Server B in the Server A.
I execute them throw dtexec in cmd in the Server A.
The problem is that it starts to execute but gives an execution error because it gets confused with what Server system should be used (both have the same ODBC connection).
If I run the packages throw cmd in the Server B everything goes OK.
Can anyone help me!?
Thanks.
I have set up 80 connections to the SQL Server - mostly through code. People have been successfully using the database, but then when they come in to use their computer and the database the next day, their connection is completely gone! What is that all about? So far this has happened to 2 or 3 different users. Any idea why?
Thanks.
so im trying to connect to an odbc source and use ado.net to pass some sql queries and then write back into this odbc connection. i am aware that ssis does not have direct capabilities to do this, but i wanted to see if anyone knew of generic help docs/url's that show how to do this? i am new to ssis, and am just trying to get general information.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis morning I found that during the night someone hacked into my remote hosted SQL server 2005 database. Every record in a description field in each of three tables had everything after the first sentence replaced with the same URL. The three pages that used these tables badly infected anyone who viewed them in IE.I had my host restore the 12/30 backup, and I changed all the database and ftp passwords, now I want to be sure my code isn't giving anyone access. I'm using strongly typed datasets. This is my code behind code.Dim sCategory = Request.QueryString("cat")Dim ResourceAdapter As New ResourcesTableAdapters.ResourcesTableAdapterDim dF As Data.DataTable = ResourceAdapter.GetDataByCategory(sCategory)Dim numRows = dF.Rows.CountLabelCat.Text = sCategoryRepeater1.DataSource = dFRepeater1.DataBind() Is there anything I can do to better secure this? Oh, my connect string is in the web.config file only, but it isn't encrypted. I will be encrypting it today.Diane
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi all.. I've been scouring the forums for about 6 hours to no
avail. This is a really simple question. I'm trying to have
a registration page that lets the user input name, email, desired
username, and password. I want to check the username and email
fields to make sure ppl cannot sign up twice. So from what I've
gathered I have a couple of options:
1) i can set up a unique constraint on the database columns,
2) i can run a select statement before inserting,
3) i can store the whole database column in a variable then search through it.
My question is how to do option 2? All of my transactions are through a sqldatasource object in c#.

The database is configured for single publisher, many subscribers,merge replication. The maintenance plan started to fail a couple ofmonths ago and the database would not get backed up. After clearingall the locks, I am able to backup the database manually. The locksreturn again and I'm not able to backup the database with themaintenance plan. How can I get around the lock issue or solve it sothat I can backup the database again?Thanks,Chris
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to move ODBC connections between SQL servers? We are replacing our current server with newer hardware, and I have pretty much everything figured out except this.
Thanks for any help and/or hints.
We have spent days trying to perform a proof of concept and I amdissappointed with SSIS to say the least. We are trying to connect andfetch data from a Double Byte Progress database and the "DataReaderSource" using a ADO .NET ODBC provider does not work! I understandthat SSIS is a totally rewritten version of DTS. What annoys me isthat this functionality used to work in DTS and does not in the muchtalked about SSIS!! Will someone in Microsoft start listening tocustomers instead of gloating on useless features. SSIS is a totalwaste if it cannot connect and fetch data from a wide variety ofsource databases!!
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello everybody!I'm using the 'Data Sources (ODBC)' program that comes with windows tocreate the odbc connections I need. Although that is quite fast and easy Iwould like to have it more automated, since I'm using the same parametersall the time.Can anybody tell me (or give pointers to) how that is done?regards--Johnny Ljunggren
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using ODBC to connect to SQL Server. The documentation says that ODBC transactions are managed on the connection level and cannot span connections.
Does this mean that two instances of my code using transactions (each with its own process and a single connection) in the same machine accessing the same database will not play nice together (violate transaction rules)?
Thanks
I am trying to deploy a SQL Server Express database to a remote SQL Server 2005 host. I was planning to copy and paste the data from my local tables to the remote tables using Management Studio Express but my ISP (NTL) appears to be blocking port 1433 and preventing me from getting a connection to the remote database.
Will an upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition help me? I understand that it has a Backup & Restore Wizard but how does this work? Does it rely on a remote connection and will it fall foul of the NTL port blocking? Or, can the file that the Backup stage produces be copied into the web-based MSSQL Manager, that my web host provides, to restore to the remote database?
Any help would be much appreciated.
we're in a business where customers often ask for a foolproof scheme that even prevents folks with DB privileges from fraudulently inserting, updating or deleting data. The scheme must be so air tight that a judge can be convinced of its reliability.
What are the most effective schemes out there?
Dear All,
I like to know if anyone of you out there can help me solve this issue. I need to generate an SQL Query to access two different FOXPro (databases) connections.
Example,
Connection 1 - has a DSN setup of CMSBM and it sits in the path of D:/CMS/CMSBM/= and the table is bmboml15
Connection 2 - has a DSN setup of CMSMA and it sits in the path of
D:/CMS/CMSMA/= and the table is maprodl15
I am coding in ASP.NET using C#. I have tried the command like:
SELECT codeno, link, type FROM bmboml15 IN CMSBM INNER JOIN maprodl15 IN CMSMA ON bmboml15.codeno = maprodl15.codeno.
Obviously the above query is not a working one and a very poor construction.
Please help!
Thanks

If I have 100 ODBC clients all submitting the following SQL at the same time how do I know that the SQL inside the conditional only gets executed once. It appear SQL Server is preventing it from happening but was curious how. Or do I need to add something to prevent it from happening.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE type='U' AND name = 'mytable)
BEGIN
CREATE table mytable (task int NOT NULL, first_name varchar(128), last_name varchar(128))
END
I have just migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 and in the process upgraded to new hardware. I am now running SQL2005 (64 Bit) on Windows 2003 R2 (64 Bit). The problem is that when i deploy some reports to the new server that use ODBC to connect to the data, reporting services is erroring with :
Data source name not found and no default driver specified
The ODBC connections are set up exactly the same on the old server and the new server. Is it because it is looking for a 64 bit ODBC driver and not the 32 Bit one I have installed. If i go into the SysWOW64 and run the odbcad32.exe i can see the drivers and the connection. The connection test works fine from here.
Thanks
I am attempting to drop a database (sales), however I receive this message: Error 3274 is "Cannot drop the database 'sales' because it is published for replication." Yet, I no longer have any publications in this database. It seems that there is some orphaned information related to a publication that existed. Any help would be great.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are running SQL Server 2014 Web Edition (64-bit). On three occasions now we have had two of our live secondary log shipping databases become unusable through the log shipping process. We ship logs to these databases every five minutes, and generally the process works fine. However, on three occasions in as many months we have suddenly received alerts warning us that the transaction log restores could not be performed on the secondary databases. The SQL Server Error Log revealed the following:
Date,Source,Severity,Message
10/13/2015 04:01:16,spid52,Unknown,Setting database option SINGLE_USER to ON for database 'ObfuscatedName'.
10/13/2015 04:01:17,spid52,Unknown,Starting up database 'ObfuscatedName'.
10/13/2015 04:01:17,spid52,Unknown,Recovery is writing a checkpoint in database 'ObfuscatedName' (8). This is an informational message only.
[code].....
An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'ObfuscatedName' (8:0) from restarting. Diagnose the recovery errors and fix them, or restore from a known good backup. If errors are not corrected or expected, contact Technical Support."
The extract above shows two previously successful restores to the secondary database. Suddenly, at 04:11:16, the database can no longer be started up or restored to. This is despite CHECKDB giving a clean bill of health only five minutes earlier. The result is that the last three lines are then repeated ad infinitum.
The only way we have managed to get around this issue so far is to replace the secondary database with a recent backup of the primary. Once this is in place, any outstanding transaction logs are successfully applied when the log shipping restore job next runs. However, this seems rather drastic.It is rather concerning that our warm-standby databases continue to become corrupted without any apparent explanation from SQL Server.
When I move an SQL group to the other cluster member, it seems that the ODBC connections hang on the client web servers, and do not process any queries until they are rebooted. I'm using IIS/Cold fusion web servers with an SQL 7.0 Cluster (MSCS). Any ideas why this may be happening?

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for

Hi all,
I am fairly new to mobile development and im trying to write a simple application that can read, write from a SQL Server Mobile Database and load data into a list view. The problem im having is trying to find examples on how to do this and i cant seem to get many of the ones i find to work properly. Im still use to recordsets and adodb and if anyone has any examples on how to do this that would be great.
Also, would it possible if someone could explain this code to me as well
Dim conn As SqlCeConnection = Nothing
Dim cmd As SqlCeCommand = Nothing
Dim rdr As SqlCeDataReader = Nothing
Try
' Open the connection and create a SQL command
'
conn = New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = AdventureWorks.sdf")
conn.Open()
cmd = New SqlCeCommand("SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", conn)
rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
' Iterate through the results
'
While rdr.Read()
Dim employeeID As Integer = rdr.GetInt32(0) ' or: rdr["EmployeeKey"];
Dim lastName As String = rdr.GetString(5) ' or: rdr["FirstName"];
End While
' Always dispose data readers and commands as soon as practicable
'
rdr.Close()
cmd.Dispose()
Finally
' Close the connection when no longer needed
'
conn.Close()
End Try

I'm trying to work out how facebook displays so much information easily. Each time you visit your profile a load of new info is shown. Is each piece of info, which is stored in different table, gathered right there and then? If so, isn't that a helluva lot of connections? I'm trying to implement something into my website where it records history, a it like on facebook when it says "Steve has written on Paul's wall" the names are clickable. Has the information been stored like:
Name1ID ActionID Name2ID23432 56 32432
If so, wouldn't 3 connections be needed? 2 to retrieve the names and 1 for the action? It would be easier to store the info as "Steve has written on Paul's Wall" in 1 field, but it wouldn't be dynamic. And if the page shows a lot of information like that, it's hundreds of conections on just 1 viewing. I'm still learning and am also wondering how many connections per page would take up a lot of resources?
Thanks

Hey Guys,We have a merge replication on 2 MsSQL servers and wondering if its possible to allow the 2 connection strings in our application?So if SQL Server 1 doesnt responed, then the other one will take over.we currently have this in our global.asax:Public Shared dbConnString as String = "Server=xxxx;Initial Catalog=xxxx;User Id=xxxx;Password=xxxx;" So is it possible to change this to look up the first server and then connect to a second server if needed?Thank you for any advice at all.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a need to connect to a remote (i.e. database on the clients site) SQL Server database from a live application. It is relatively easy under Oracle, but I havent tried to do to an SQL Server. Has anyone done this? The remote SQL Server database in question is 6.5
You can set up odbc connections to remote clients (99% sure on this) so you could go this way. You can also connect directly to a sql box through an IP address in sql7, but I am not too sure how it is with 6.5.
Is there any way to know the number of current connections to an SQL Server Database? Also how can one change the max pool size (for the number of connections allowed to the database)?
Thanks.
