Third question:
I'm backing up a database which has some users.
When I try to restore it to another machine which has the same users and already has an old version of the database the database cannot be accessed. I must drop the users from the database by using the stored procedures sp_dropuser <username> and then add it again to the database from the Enterprise Manager.
Why this happens??

Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
What I want to do is :
- restore a backup of a 3rd party database onto one of our servers
- this has no users that I can use
- there is some ETL processing so we're using Control-M to manage the process
- create a database user and grant it db_reader.
I'd like to do this without granting any users elevated privileges if possible.
What I've done so far is grant the Control-M user (this is a domain user) dbcreator rights and made it owner of our copy of the database that is being refreshed.
The refresh is completing, but Control-M is not able to log onto the database to create the user.
What is the best way to accomplish this task without granting the control-m user sysadmin rights?
Would I be able to do it if I used a SQL Agent job for the restore and user creation?
Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

I want to drop users programmatically, is this possible? I tried
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_DelAllUnusedLogins] AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @UserName nvarchar(128)
DECLARE user_cursor CURSOR FOR
select name from sys.sysusers where status=12 and name
not in ('NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM','dbo')
OPEN user_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM user_cursor INTO @UserName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DROP USER @UserName
FETCH NEXT FROM user_cursor INTO @UserName
END
CLOSE user_cursor
DEALLOCATE user_cursor
END
But @UserName isn't accepted..
is this even possible in reporting services? I already deployed reports for our client using Reporting Services 2000, one of their complaints was that the dropdownlist of the reports contains a very long list of data, this list cannot be shorten since all data are required. Is there a way to let the users type in characters, not only one character to find the exact data they want. The data in the drop down list are needed because these data are parameters.
Are there any web based reporting tools which can provide this kind of requirement?

Im running SQL 7.0 in production with no SQL service pack applied. I am trying to copy the database over to a test box running SQL 7.0 SP3. Both servers are NT 4.0 with SP6.1a. When I restore the database on the test box, I do not get the Users restored but I do get the Tables and other items. The SQL backup Im restoring from is a complete backup. Could the fact that the server Im restoring on is SQL 7.0 SP3 and it came from a pure SQL 7.0 server?

HI guys,
I just restored a database on a new server with a backup(complete backup stored in backup device) from another database on another server using the "with move" option. In fact here was my process:
Alter database ngauge SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
restore database ngauge
from disk = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBACKUPgauge1.BAK'
with move 'NGAUGE' to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatagauge_Data.MDF',
move 'NGAUGE_Log' to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatagauge_Log.LDF'
Alter database ngauge SET READ_WRITE
it worked.
But it did not move the 98 or so users/logins...from the source database
what is going on??? what am I doing wrong??!!

Hi Team,
In SQL Enterprise Manager, when we expand "Database -->Users", we see the
users there. When we expand "Security --> logins" we see the same users there.
Can you differentiate these two.
Thanks

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi everybody,
I would like to know if there would be any special way to force drop a database from an ASP.NET page.
When I try to do it in the normal way, it gives me an exception like: Cannot drop the database 'xxxxxxx' because it is currently in use. I'would have to wait until there is a timeout.
In fact that database can be accessed from another pages, but I want to know if I'd be able to force drop database even when another pages are using it.
Thanks in advance
I'd like to write a stored procedure to drop all objects in a SQL Server 2000 database owned by a particular uid. Originally I'd hoped to use these two stored proc built-ins for the task: sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything (to get a list of all objects owned by a uid) and sp_MSdrop_object (to drop the objects). I've run into a few problems along the way:
1. If I run this command
EXEC sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything 5
I get this weird error message:
"The user owns objects in the database and cannot be dropped."
Not sure why that is since I'm just trying to list the objects, not drop them.
2. I tried running a simple query to get the objects from the system table instead:
SELECT * from [dbo].[sysobjects] where uid = 5
This returns a resultSet as you'd expect. When I wrote a stored procedure to loop through these and use sp_MSdrop_object it seemed to fail whenever it encountered a foreign key object. Here is the error message:
The request for procedure 'name of foreign key' failed because 'name of foreign key' is a unknown type object.
Can anyone give advice as to the best way to go about doing this? I'd really prefer not to have to drop the entire database and recreate it. Thanks!

I have a list of 35 tables that need to drop the primary key index from in my database.
My problem is as follows for these 35 tables:
1. How can I get a list of all the primary keys for this subset of tables in my database
2. How can I drop just the PK for each of these tables?
I want an easy quick way to do this without having to manually do this for each of the 35 tables in my database. I dont want to do this for all tables just the subset.
Thanks
