Hello,
I use a merge replication between Sql Server and Sql Server Express.
When I enable a DB for .NET features (eg RoleManager), I have new tables and roles that are created and some GRANT are given on SPs.
When I replicate these DB to another one, none of my roles are replicated and I also loose my roles. Is there a way to replicate also the roles and the permissions ?
Thanks

Hello,
I am new user of SQL Server. I have some problems with these words. I want to make my database works in my specified permissions. I will specify permissions with schemas and these schema wants an owner. I want this owner should be my user. When creating a user it needs a valid login. I am selecting my login and it occurs and error says this login has an different user. I am specifying permissions with roles. But i can't make association all of them. I hope i told my problem to you as well. If you explain these words to me and tell me how can i do my database's works with my own schemas, users and roles i'll be grateful. Thanks for advices.
Happy coding...
Can you write a stored procedure to add a user to your DB and set the roles the user belongs to?
I want to write a stored proc. to add users and set roles so it can be used in code instead of doing it manually.
After the user has been added and their roles set, can you write another stored proc. to give you what roles they belong to?
Apologies if my post does not fit into this forum. I initially tried the SQL Server Data Access forum but I now think my question is more security related.
Is it possible for a web user who has been successfully authenticated with forms authentication to be authorised to use a SQL Server 2000 role depending on a particular ASP.NET 2.0 role that they have been authorised to use? I understand that that I can assign a SQL Server 2000 role to the ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE account but this will grant access to anonymous web users to the database role. I can ensure that I only call stored procedures which access sensitive data in web pages that are in restricted by ASP.NET roles. However, it would be nice to also restrict stored procedures via the ASP.NET 2.0 Forms Authentication roles.
If this is not possible have you got any bright ideas how I could restrict access to stored procedures who are anonymous web users.
Many thanks,
Mark
I'm developing an ASP.NET2.0 application which accesses a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I plan to use integrated security for access to the database.
I'm confused about the relationships between Windows groups, the ASP.NET web.config file <allow roles=.../> and SQL Server roles.
I would like to create a Windows group to which I can assign multiple users and grant that group access to a Web Site using windows authentication and also grant that windows group access to the database my web application uses.
I have gotten the combination of Windows Authentication to the web site and to the database to work for a specific windows user but I am having trouble determining the combination of database security entities I must create to allow access to my database by members of the windows group.
For a Windows user:
1. Create Windows user
In SQL Express
2. CREATE LOGIN FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE =
3. CREATE USER FOR LOGIN
4. CREATE ROLE
5. EXEC sp_addrolemember <role-name> <user-name>
For a Windows group, what would be the equivalent commands necessary to grant a windows group access to my database? Specifying the Windows Group name in sp_addrolemember does not appear to be sufficient even though the documentation states that a windows group name is a valid value for the member name argument.
After reading Books Online, I am still confused with Database Role vs Application role.
My intention is to control the end users' authority on the database, where the end users will access through Winforms client application. With proper assignment of schema and database roles to an user, I believe this will enough to control the permisison of an user.
If this is the case, why Application role exists? When and why should I use Application Role? How is it different from Fixed Database Role?
Hi! Can anyone say which ms sql server predefined roles are similar to the following oracle predefined roles: dba, connect, resource. I already know that sysadmin in MS SQL Server is the same as DBA in Oracle but what about the rest?
Thanks a lot.
I am in the process of locking down the SQL Server in an environment that is considered to be in production (pilot stages) and there is no staging or test environment that mirrors it. I need assistance in determining the server and database roles to assign to existing logins, most of which currently have sa and dbowner rights. Because it is not a development environment, I need to be sure that downgrading the server and/or database level permissions will not break any functionality.
I'm starting with the logins that have the SA fixed server role. These logins need to be able to install applications that require the use of a backend database, which will be stored on SQL Server. In addition, through the installation process a new login/password for the newly created database(s) is normally created. For the existing logins with the SA fixed server role, will downgrading to the securityadmin and dbcreator roles be sufficient to facilitate those needs, or are those too much/ too little? And should any user account ever be granted the SA role? If so, what questions could I ask to determine this need?
Since these install process for these applications usually prompt to install using SA or local system account to authenticate to SQL to create the new database(s), that account should have securityadmin and dbcreator roles to create the database and its tables, as well as add a new login to that database.
Please address this question, keeping in mind that the logins will only be performing the described actions, installing apps using SQL Server as the backend database and adding a login to that database (which may or may not be done during the installation process).
Thank you,

Hi,
I'm looking for some guidance/help regarding setting up a sa - lite account in SQL 2005. I need to give another admin rights to create/monitor maintenance plans, backup and restore databases, monitor performance/logins, but NOT be able to have any rights on several tables (and of course not being able to set user permissions).
I've tried using server and db roles but haven't been able to determine how to give someone w/o full sa rights access to maintenance plans.
If you can think of soemthing, please let m eknow.

I have MS SQL Server 2000 DB.
I have created a User and created some tables for the same.
I created a Role named A and granted Select Permissions for few tables to that roles.
When I created another Role named B and added this role (A) to B, the permissions are not being xferred to B. Bcos of which, if i assign an User to Role B, he is not able to select the tables for which permissions have been given thru role A.
Note : If i give assign directly the user to Role A, it is working. But i want to assign User to role A only thru B.
I need to replicate from a SQL 7.0 server to SQL 6.5 server.
Has anyone done it, or does anyone know if it can be done?
Thanks in advance

Hi gang,
I'm 99% sure this is possible, but I wanted to confirm before I go upgrading one box in our replication scheme without having to do all the others (which are geographically dispersed):
Can an SP2 box replicate (merge replication in our case) with pre-SP2 servers? Most of our servers don't even have SP1 applied, and we're ready to upgrade, but I want to be sure I can do them one at a time rather than all at once.
Cheers,
Matt
Can we replicate views in SQL 2000 or SQL 7.0 ? If yes please let us know How
Thanks
We are performing snapshot replications from one server to another, however the permissions are not being taken across.
When we manually reset them, the next replication will quite happily remove all permissions.
Any help appreciated.

I am trying to create an auto off-site backup of an entire database. This would include databases and users. It should also include changes made throughout the day.
Something challenging about this is I want it to also include design changes that may have been done throughout the day.
I understand log shipping or replication can deal with the data part of my solution. But how can I copy over the logins, users, and design changes?
Is it possible to have design changes replicated from publishers to subscribers?
I am using Sql2000 and have 6 servers. On this 6 servers 4 servers have the same database
MY QUESTION is i need a script or advice that will help to do this:
Every time data chages in 1 of the 4 servers that have the same database, I want all changes to happen in the other 3 so that they must always have the same information
Good Day Gurus
I posted a question about replicating logins to the database and the answer i got about doing a DTS to transfer logins is not good for me, is it possible to replicate syslogins tables so that i can do this if so, how because they are not listed Database and Publications when i try to create a publication, only individual created databases can be seen.
The reason for this is because when the DBA decides to change the user permission, i want the info to be merge replicated to the subscriber. At this moment i can run the DTS to transfer the login but it won't know when the logins have been updated and hence i won't know when to run it.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Server. Plenty of SQL knowledge but the whoe SQL server enviornment is new.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. My task is to generate reports without affecting our live database. I have setup a second server and installed SQL Server 2005 on that too. My thought was that maybe I could mirror or replicate the table I require over to this new server and run my queries from here. Is this easy to do ?
I read that mirroring might not work as it is solely for back up /fall over purposes and that data on the mirrored server would not be accessible.
I have also been looking at SSIS but at the moment this is all a bit like double dutch to me ! Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably somewhere beginner friendly ie not overly complicated !!
Thanks a mill,
Sophie
I am using Sql 2005 and merge replication. I am relying on the feature where schema changes are replicated to subscribers but I have come across a situation where schema changes stop being replicated.
This is the scenario:
I create a database and publish it for merge replication.
I add subscribers.
If I need to change the published database I can use ALTER TABLE ddl and the subscriber gets the changes.
If I have to add or remove a merge article as part of a database change I specify the @force_invalidate_snapshot=1, @force_reinit_subscription=1. No any ALTER TABLE statements following the article change will NOT be replicated.
Is this a known 'feature'? Is it because @force_reinit_subscription is set to 1?
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
We have four mobile devices that are set up for merge replication via the web. We are not receiving errors but some of the data is not coming over to the devices. If we manually add a record that record will come over, but there is data that is on the server that isn't on the devices. If we run the snapshot for each device (We're using host_name as a filter) nothing happens. If we do validation check we get errors. If we reinitialize all devices it works but the next days data (sql job populates data to the publisher db at night) isn't on the device after syncing the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sql 2005 publisher and distributor and a sql 2000 subscribers. for some reason on one of the subscribers i'm getting errors that it can't replicate the UDT's. i tried a new snapshot and made sure it was set not to replicate UDT's but i'm still getting Create Type errors.
would anyone have any idea why it's trying to create UDT's at the subscriber when i specify not to replicate UDT's?
Hi there,
I'm using Sql 2005 merge replication and I have noticed something, I'm not sure if this is true or not:...
My publication is set to replicate schema changes (replicate_ddl = 1). Now, I have noticed that schema changes are only replicated if the current snapshot is valid. Is this right? If so why?
My next question carries on from the first. If I'm about to run a TSQL script on my publisher that will add a column or two to a published table, how do I ensure my snapshot is valid inorder for the ddl changes to be replcated? Should I be using:
EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn
@publication = <publicationname>,
@article = <article name>,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1,
@force_reinit_subscription = 1
on each table I modifiy, after I have added the new column?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I have a database that is being set up for merge replication (Sql 2005), but there is one table that I only want the schema replicating, not the data - I never want the data to be replicated in either direction. I can see from sp_addmergearticle that you can do something like this for sp's or functions but is it possible to do this for tables?
Regards
Graham
I am wondering if there is a way to replicate changes in a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 without backing up the DB and restoring it in 2005.
We are running an ERP system using SQL 2000 and are moving to a later version that supports 2005 and we want to test it out before going live but I'd like to sync with the current system from time to time instead of having to convert the DB and get it ready again and again everytime I want to update the data.
Thanks for any help you can offer,

Hi,
I have a number of "join" tables ie joins records from two other tables for example, an employee may be responsible for more than one product so the join table would look like this:
table name: employee_products
Employee_id foreign key from employee table
product_id goreign key from products table
My question is, how do I replication this table? Replication requires all table to have a primary key field. In this case, both fields are foreign keys and I dont have a primary key as the same data appears regularly in either field.
How should I get around this so I can implement replication? I dont want to have to add another field to be the primary key field.
Thanks

Are there any known problems with replicating structure changes (New table, etc...), as well as data in MSSQL Server 7.0?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe're considering one database in the far east, using merge replication with a database in London.
There's a time difference of maybe 7 hours between the two sites - has anyone ideas on conflict resolution (thinking about the Far East updating a record at 16:00 their time, London updates the same record at 15:30 GMT - how does SQL Server know that London's time is the correct record to use?).
Any info gratefully accepted.
Thanks

I have a table that is used for reporting, the problem is that the data in the table is refreshed every 30 minutes with a bulk insert. I am trying to find a way to have two tables that are mirror images of each other and when the loading table is loaded, then the table assumes the identity of the reporting table. The basic prinicpal is I need to have the table be available almost all the time and when the bulk insert is happening, users cannot query. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

We have a database that I would like to replicate on another server but am unable to use regular replication via publish/subscribe due to the fact that the production database has no primary keys on tables, only clustered indexes. The backup db needs to be as close to real-time synchronized as possible and will be in fairly active use most of the time. Has anyone had success in developing such a system? How did you do it and what are the pitfalls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have SQL Server running on my internal LAN. I want to have a second SQL Server running on a hosted (shared) website. I then would like these servers to talk to each other. At some scheduled time I need to publish data to the web, and I then need to subscribe to data input on the web by various clients. My internal LAN can see the Internet via our cable modem.
What is the best way to do this? What software will I need to run. I'm looking for the big picture.
Thanks for the help everyone.
I want to replicate to an archive database. This means that the subscriber will have data that has been removed from the publisher. In my reading, I haven't seen any discussion of this specific scenario.
Here's what I imagine the solution might be:
EXEC sp_addpublication_snapshot
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@frequency_type = 1 -- only create the snapshot once
GO
...
EXEC sp_addarticle
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@article = N'My_Table',
@source_owner = N'dbo',
@source_object = N'My_Table',
@del_cmd = 'NONE',
GO
I set the publication snapshot to only execute once, that would be during the maintenance window when it is initially installed. Then, on the tables that will contain archived data, I specify that deletes aren't replicated.
Here's my concern: aren't there times when you need to resync?
If you could push a new snapshot that dropped the tables on the subscriber and built the thing up from scratch, then things would sync-up just fine. But in this scenario if you drop the subscriber tables then you've just lost your archive.
What's the best way to handle this?
Thanks,

I have a single table on database A that needs to be replicated to two databases B and C in as-near-to-real-time as possible. The table is cleared every morning, and receives about 40,000 records per hour. Records are only added to the table, never updated or deleted.
I'm wondering what is the best approach to replicate this table :
1 - Transactional Replication
2 - A trigger on the INSERT on table in A that then inserts the record into B and C
3 - Timed jobs running on B and C that pull new records from A
thanks all in advance.
