I have 2 sql server 2000 database that participate in log shipping.Server A is the source database, which log ships to a database onServer B. The database on Server B is in a warm stand by/read onlymode. Is there a way that I can add users to the database on ServerB, without having to add the users to the database in server A? I amtrying to use the database on Server B as a reporting only databaseand add more users to have permissions to run reports.Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you.

QUESTION 1 - Will SQL Express be in the Vista bits? If so which versions?
2. Once SQLExpress is installed by whatever means, are there rules about how the instance is used? I have no problems playing well with others so I would be more than happy to create my DB in .SQLExpress.
QUESTION 2 - Are there any rules governing who can play in the Express instance? How should dtabases should be named to avoid collisions with the other kids?
3. I'd love to be able to work in in ClickOnce / user never has to have admin password environment.
QUESTION 3 - Besides UAC are there any constraints on writing to a properly installed Express instance that would get in the way of a pure user application from using the basic instance.
4. Right now - because I can't read directions and still don't understand the smoke and mirrors in VS 2005 when it comes to dealing with databases - I have DDL in my program that allows me to create my database from scratch. Not sure that this is the right way to go.
QUESTION 4. What is the best way for an user software to create its database in an instance of SQL Express.
5. SQL Express is yet another thingie that will run in the background that the typical user won't understand and wont' give a hoot about.
QUESTION 5. Can I / should I programmatically worry about whether the service is up and running? If so how do I launch it.
I know this is a lot for a single post, but it all sort of hangs together.

Is there any need to re-apply SP4 to sql server 2000 if a user database has been restored to it from a non-service packed sql 2000 server.
We inadvertantly did this after a flood and later realised that the log shipped server at the other site was not not service packed.
Does service pack 4 update user databases in any way?
We have not had any major issues with this but I need to rule this out when considering performance issues and so on that have been raised since the recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
We have log shipping for databases from production to back office (BO) environments for users to run reports. In preparation for moving a back office environment to a different server, we want to setup an addition log shipping environment, let’s call it BO2, same as the BO. One of the challenges we had was the amount of time it would take to get the full backup from production to BO2 due to the size of the database. It would take days just to transfer the full backup.
Solution:Let’s just say the database being logged shipped is DB123. Instead of using the full backup of DB123 from production, we use the mdf and ldf of DB123 from current log shipped database on the BO to setup the additional log shipping on BO2.
Steps:1.Setup the directory structure for the undo file (tuf) on the BO2 server same as the BO server.
Note: The undo can be moved to different drive after the log shipping is setup.
2.Stop SQL services on the BO server.
3.Copy the undo file (tuf), mdf, and ldf files of the log shipped database, DB123, from server BO to server BO2.
Note: Keep these files as main copies because they will be used multiple times. Do NOT copy files to where you’ll put the new database files.
4.After the files are copied, start SQL services on BO.
5.On the BO2 server, create an empty database DB123 with database name, file_id, logical names, physical names exactly the same as the ones on the BO server.
Note: Make the size of mdf and ldf small so it doesn’t take long to create the database.
6.Stop SQL Services on the BO2 server.
7.Overwrite the new mdf and ldf files of the empty database DB123 with the mdf and ldf files that were copied over from BO.
8.Start SQL services on BO2.
Note: If the file_id, logical names and physical names are not matching up, the database will be in suspect mode.
9.Do a backup of DB123 with COPY_ONLY.
10.Drop DB123 on BO2 after backup is complete.
11.Use the full backup from previous step to setup log shipping of DB123 on BO2.
Note: Below was the LiteSpeed syntax that was used
exec master.dbo.xp_restore_database @database = N'DB123' ,
@filename = N'F:SQL BackupsDB123_FULL.slsfull',
@filenumber = 1,@with = N'STATS = 10',
@with = N'STANDBY = N''C: MSSQLDataROLLBACK_UNDO_DB123.trn''',
@affinity = 0,@logging = 0
12.Stop SQL services on BO2.
13.Again, overwrite the mdf, ldf and undo file (tuf) of DB123 on server BO2 with mdf, ldf, and undo file (tuf) from BO.
14.Start SQL services on BO2.
15.Replay transaction log from PRD
Note: You can change the location of the undo file by copy the current undo file to the new location and point to new location in “STANDBY” parameter. DO NOT do cut and paste of undo file but do copy and paste.
It works on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4033.0 (X64) . I have not tried it on SQL Server 2012 yet.
In steps that stop/start SQL services, you can bring the database offline/online.
In a way, this is doing detach/attach a log shipped database.
We have a production server "prod" which has a user say 'test' that lets the users connect to the application and a logon trigger which stops them from connecting to the server through SSMS. I log ship 'prod' to the 'rep' database and the user 'test' is obviously created in the logshipped database 'rep' during the logshipping.
Now the login 'test' does not have any login from server 'rep', But people can still login to the 'rep' server and query the 'rep' db . I checked with SUSER_SNAME and found the SID of the user in rep server which I never created and which is not even present in the login names, Even If I create a new username in the 'prod' db, after logshipping the new user is replicated in the 'rep' server.
I need sql query to select max date shipment where sum of quantity required > sum of quantity shipped from sales line table but i dont know how to make my sales line table as following
shipment date quantity required quantity shipped
07/05/2015 200 100
07/05/2015 300 300
07/05/2015 100 50
06/05/2015 200 100
06/05/2015 200 200
Here the result of query i need is max shipment date is 07/05/2015 and quantity required is 600 and quantity shipped is 450 so tat i must select this date because quantity Required is big from quantity shippedmy question How i write the query get result above in sql server 2005.
