Dear All,
I need experienced advice on Security in SQL Server 2005. All I need specific advice on restrcting users to access SQL Server database to have only READ access for certain tables.
Thanks,
Hi,
We have a SQL server database on remote server. We are using ODBC connection to read and write into the table. But we have another user wants to retrieve(readonly access) our data on his pages. How can we create a user on our database and grant readonly access to that user?
Thanks..
I have two replicated databases i.e.
1. Database 1 is a live database where all live applications point
2. Database 2 is a replica of Database 1 and all reporting / BI applications point to this db. This is read-only.
Is it possible for reporting applications, pointing to Database 2, to create temporary tables in the read-only database?
Thanks
Hi,I have a prod database (main bread & bread DB) and have a small accessdatabase that sales team is using... I created a login inside SQL 2000and gave db_read permission and SELECT permissions... and public.Role of public is EXEC store procs and view some systables...I linked those tables that I gave permissions through ODBC link intoaccess db with the user that I created inside SQL as readonly user...but to my surprise when I ran a insert query from access on SQLtables... I was able to update and insert data... if my ODBC link isonly for readonly.. why was I able to unpdate & insert data into SQLtable?I don't want to give write/update/insert permissions for SQL tables tosales team... or anyone outside SQL 2000 server DB.Is there any easy way to create viewonly users inside SQL?I created users like this: security -logins -new login...select none serverrole.. db access (bread & butter DB)Thank you,hj******Pardon my English...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,

Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

i am currently working on designing a database for a bank as a school project for my database class. We have to draw up an entity relationship diagram, Sql tables, database size estimate etc. I am currently working on the security portion of the project. I need to list the groups that have access to my application and use a grid format to show access to specific tables.

We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Thanks!
I have downloaded and installed ASP.NET Ajax Sample applications from

I am trying to run the AJAX TaskList example under C:ProgramMicrosoft ASP.NETASP.NET AJAX Sample Applicationsv1.0.61025TaskList
First I moved the content of the TaskList folder to a virtual IIS directory, making it possible to debug the website on my local IIS server.

Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTTASKLISTAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
How can I modify the permissions for ASPNETDB.MDF in order to run the TaskList example.

I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.
we have a database that only serves Select requests (no OLTP) for our very high traffic websites.
what are the benefits of turning on read-only setting for the database if there are no transactions occuring in the database?
does sql server put locks on tables for SELECT statements?
is it the same as using HINT (NOLOCK) ?
thanks

Using SQL Express in this case, I have a database on one machine using one instance of SQLExpress that I detach. I then copy the database to a USB drive and take it to a different machine and attach it to a different SQL Express instance and it comes in as ReadOnly and I know of no way to change it.
One difference is that I have different users on the two systems, is that the cause? I wouldn't think that this would cause the database to show as ReadOnly, thoughI would just think that I may not be able to access it aside from using sa.
What is the likely cause of this?
Thanks
I am having a SSIS package which imports data from Excel (2003) files on the netoprk.
Its so happenning that one of those files are opened by someone else & package is giving AcquireConnection error.
As Package is only reading data from the files, i want to open the files in ReadOnly mode
How can remove this error ?
Is there any way to provide a readonly custom property in the ProvideComponentProperties() method of a custom PipelineComponent implementation?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with a script component in which I'm trying to use two ReadOnlyVariables. If I use only one of the two variables, everything works without issue. If I use both of the variables (as part of a comma-delimited list) I get the following:
The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.
I don't believe the variables themselves are the problem. Both are scoped to the package level and I can use either of them if I have it as the only variable. Seems bug-like, but thought I'd get some ideas before pursuing that route.

Hi,
I have a database running on sqlserver 2000. This database (let's call it TestDatabase) has 2 filegroups called 'PRIMARY' and 'SECONDARY', and is bulk-logged. The 'SECONDARY' filegroup is set to readonly since no data gets changed there by the applications, it is read-only data. Sometimes this read-only data needs an update, so I need to update the data in the 'SECONDARY' filegroup by running some long data-operations. These data-operations are executed and checked on a another database (which is a backup of TestDatabase) called TestDatabaseDemo. When everything is correct in TestDatabaseDemo we can copy all objects from the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabaseDemo to the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabase using DTS. This takes a long time and I want to try if I could speed up things by using the following strategy:
Take a full backup of TestDatabase
Restore full backup as TestDatabaseDemo
Run long-running data-operations on TestDatabaseDemo
Take a backup of TestDatabaseDemo
Restore only the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup from TestDatabaseDemo to TestDatabase, and keeping the 'PRIMARY' filegroup from TestDatabase as it was at that moment.
Suppose we arrived at step 5, I am executing the following commands:
Code Snippet
--make full backup of TestDatabase
backup database TestDatabase to DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak' with init
--make full backup of TestDatabaseDemo
backup database TestDatabaseDemo to DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak' with init
backup log TestDatabase to DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log'
--restore secondary filegroup from TestDatabasedemo-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='SECONDARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data_Secondary' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data_secondary.ndf', NORECOVERY
--restore primary filegroup from Testdatabase-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='PRIMARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data.mdf', NORECOVERY
--restore log and try to get db onlin
restore log TestDatabase FROM DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log' with recovery
I get the following error:
The log in this backup set terminates at LSN 6000000021500001, which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backup that includes LSN 6000000022400003 can be restored.
When trying to execute "RESTORE DATABASE TestDatabase WITH RECOVERY; " as last statement
I get error:
The database cannot be recovered because the files have been restored to inconsistent points in time.
How i can restore the read-only filegroup correctly?

View 0 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to implement a log shipping scenario in sql 2005 where the secondary server is in standby mode with the ability to roll change during failover.
With the help of BOL (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/2d7cc40a-47e8-4419-9b2b-7c69f700e806.htm) I can implement my scenario in Recovery mode, but not in standby mode. I use the following sql to put my primary in standby
BACKUP LOG [database]
TO DISK = @filename
WITH STANDBY = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupROLLBACK_UNDO_database.BAK'
GO
which works, but then my restore job fails on the last step. How can I put my primary db in standby mode in such a way that the log shipping restore will work?
Thanks

Still really new at all this, but learning lots thanks to this forum.
I was wondering - is there a way to import Access tables into my SQL Server 2005 ?
(The Data and the Table Design?)
The problem is we need local tables in Access for SubReports (can't use store procedures as record source for this), therefore trying to create temp table and link to Access for each report instance.
When we create the ## type table in tempdb this cannot be linked from Access (cannot be seen via DSN).
The only other option we can find is doing
CREATE TABLE tempdb.dbo.[tablename]
but this requires the user to have admin permissions and therefore be 'dbo' on tempdb and not 'guest'.
Any clues?

I have a procedure that takes database name and queries some tables in the database specified. I am trying to access tables like this:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM @dbname..sysobjects WHERE type='U'
How can I access the tables while the database name is in a variable.
Thanx.
I have linked a number of tables from a SQL database to a Access front end. I am able to update all but one of the tables (the main table I need!!!). I get the error, cannot update record as it has been changed by another user although there is no other user. I believe it may be to do with the way the recordset is linked to the access database or the referential integrity of the table associations in the SQL database.
I can change the data using query analyser without issue.
Any help would be greatfully apreciated.
