SQL Developer Environment
Nov 6, 2007
Hi Guys,
Im new to SQL Server 2005.
In our organization, I was tasked to implement and maintain
MS SQL 2005 database.
We have several system developer and they are using MS SQL 2005
as a backend database.
Currenty, they are responsible for designing their own databases required by their application.
My concern is that I want to restrict access to my SQL server that only the DB administrator can access the
database server.
My question is that, how they can design their databases without accessing the database server. Is it
possible for them to access SQL Server with some restriction? I mean, I want to impose some security measures
that they can only access objects within their scope.
Our current scenario is that they have MS SQL Express version installed in their pc and from that terminal
they can design and test their application and after everything is in place, Its me who will migrate their
respective databases for production in MS SQL 2005 server.
Hoping you can provide me the best alterntive to this query.
Thanks a lot.

I am experiencing a situation where certain functions work perfectly when I run it on my local machine under MVS, but when I upload it to the server, then it does not?!
Here is an example:
I am using a drop down box (in a FormView) that is databound in an online submission form. When I run the application in MVS, then I can edit the records by opening the form, and selection the new value in the drop down list. The new value is then also saved to the database when I hit the update button. When I upload the code to the server, then the drop down list shows the correct information (so the databinding to the control seem to work correctly), but the new value is not saved to the database.
Here is the code for the drop down list:
"DropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3"DataTextField="UserName" DataValueField="UserId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("UserId") %>'CssClass="text">"SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [UserId] FROM [vw_aspnet_Users] ORDER BY [UserName]"> Here is the code updating the database with the record (I have removed some records as well as the Insert and Delete parts):
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tourism_connect1 %>"UpdateCommand="UPDATE Resorts SET typeid = @typeid, destrictid = @destrictid, UserId = @UserId, WHERE (resortid = @resortid)"OnInserted="SqlDataSource1_Inserted">
<UpdateParameters><asp:Parameter Name="typeid" /><asp:Parameter Name="destrictid" /><asp:Parameter Name="UserId" /><asp:Parameter Name="resortid" /></UpdateParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
What I can mention further, is that if I connect to the database that is on the live server (so the application runs in MVS on my local machine, but it then retrieves the info from the online database), then it also works fine. It is just giving this issue when the online application is trying to update the values.
There is also no errors during the process.
I will appreciate any advise on how to overcome this, as I really do not know where to look anymore...
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Jan

Hello all. I'm giving serious thought on changing gears withing the IT world. For several years I have been a software developer who has been fortunate enough to have been involved in the needed databases. From just sketching out tables for the DBA to doing the database from the ground up and maintaining it during production. Along the way I've known that I didn't do as quality of a job as a knowledgeable DBA would do but given the situations I made do just fine.
I am considering switching gears to the database side only, coding as secondary. Since I am basically familier with most aspects of SQL Server in a general way, I am looking to take that knowledge and become a "Professional". What I am looking for is a few books to help out. Maybe a "Become a DBA for Software Developers" or something. I know that mining these and other forums are very valuble but I'd like some other training materials as well.
Have I been clear enough on what I am looking for? I don't quite feel like I have.
Basically, what would you recommend for a good software developer who is looking on switching to becoming a good database person?
I'd like to stay in SQL Server for now, since that is what they use here and it would give me an opportunity to practice.
Also, do you see value in the studying process for certifications in this area?

I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
Thanks,
Geoff

There are conflicting postings everywhere about this. I built a small site using VWD and SQL Server Express, but need to convert to Sql Server 2005 Developer because the DB will exceed 4Gb. Tried to install and could not connect or use from VWD. Tried to uninstall, got into large mess with the byzantine uninstall process, and have now started with a clean machine.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer first, then installed VWD Express 2008 without installing SQL Server Express. VWD won't let me connect to an existing database, won't let me add a new database and doesn't even show the Database Tools option under the Tools menu.
Is there someone with specific knowledge that can provide any enlightenment? Would be much appreciated.

Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?
I
was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use
with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that
the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if
that is true?
What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web
application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL
Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions
for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs
personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this
for my home business.
Thanks for any advice,
Keith

Hi, all -
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I haven't needed to do this before.
Suggestions?

Good morning,
I am a DBA and my boss recently recommended that we change our QA environment so that we don't have any databases on it unless they are actively being tested. This would be to save hardware costs.
The only issue I can think of at this point is that promotion to our QA environment would take up to 2 hours for some of our larger databases if we have to restore production databases to qa for every QA run.
Is this a good idea? How do you run your QA (full or partial copy of prod)? Any input appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi!
I work on a company where we today have one SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services (SSRS) and Analysis Services (SSAS) installed on the same server.
Now we want to install SQL Server Enterprise Edition, but still have the Standard Edition installed.
We are gonna invest in one more server.
I wonder if its possible to install the database engine for both versions on one server and then install instances of SSRS and SSAS on the other server?
Can Standars Edition have SSRS and SSAS on another server than the Database Engine?
And is it different versions of SSRS and SSAS between SQL SE and SQL EE, or does SSRS and SSAS get the SQL EE benefits if the database engine is SQL EE?
Thanks in advance!

I have about 23 SQL servers running 6.5 SP3 or SP5a in a 24 hour environment. Most of the activity takes place between 6am and 11pm, with few transaction after 11pm. What is best to do with the main DB's transaction log, have the truncate at checkpoint option checked OR back up the transaction log a couple times a week? The Database is backed up every 6-8 hours.
Thanks in advance for your opinions/help.

Jimmy writes "We use a software that stores its database in SQL. We currently have a server box running Windows 2000 Server with SP4 and SQL Server 2005 with SP2 which holds the database. The server is wired in but we have several other stations that connect to the database wirelessly.
The problem is with our wireless stations.
When a wireless client travels from one access point to a repeater, it'll drop the connection for that moment. Once it picks up the wireless connection again, it requires closing out of the software and going back into it so it reestablishes the SQL connection to the server.
Is there a solution for a seamless reconnection with SQL for our wireless clients? Is this a problem with our software or SQL? Please advise. Thank you."

Hi,
I'm currently using the setup below for my RDA testing. Is there any problem with this setup?
connected connected
Client Apps (SQLCE 3.0) -----------------> Windows Server 2003 (Web server) ----------------> Windows XP (SQL2005)
previously was using windows XP to act as web server and have SQL server reside inside the same machine but having 10 connection limitation from windows xp where only 10 client can connect to the machine. The current setup moves the web server out to windows server 2003 and i believe it solves the 10 concurrent connection limitation but how about the SQL server? is it limited to 10 connection from windows server 2003 also? (Windows XP is my testing server, Windows Server 2003 contains important test data for the whole company) . I tried with concurrent RDA pull for 40 client concurrently with 1 pc having 10 client apps but obtain not really satisfying results. Pulling one table (20Mb) needs 1 to 2 mins through LAN networks but pulling concurrently with 40 clients takes up to 20 - 30 mins.
Any advice? Thank you and have a nice day.
Regards,
Ben

Novice SQL Express User...
Now that I've installed SQL 2005 Express Advanced, shouldn't there be a DB Environment I can work with? There must be a configuration mistake because I can't see the "container?" Prior to SP1 I had SQL 2005 Express installed and I could open and use SQL; however, once I loaded SP1 that stopped. I thought if I load the "Advanced" I would be "back in business."
Thanks,
Tony

I just got my first job doing some DBA work (junior level) in a small company using SQL Server 2000.
I would like to make a copy of the production DB and use it for development of SP's, DTS packages and views.
What is the safest way for me to copy the entire production DB, to a new DB on the same server?
Should I create a new DB, and do a restore of the production backup?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you.

I'd like to allow students in a lab to use the Express Manager and T-SQL to create their own databases. I think I've figured out just about everything - but the last step. Here's my thinking on how to do this:
1. Students are power users, not local admin
2. Created a login for the builtinpower users group as follows:
create login [BUILTINPower Users] from windows with default_database=[master]
go
exec master..sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'BUILTINPower Users', @rolename = N'dbcreator'
go
3. Now students can start the Express Manager and connect to:
localhostsqlexpress using Windows Authentication
4. After they do, they can open and run a script creating a database and populating it with tables and records.
5. All good up to here... but when trying to access the new database using VB Express (file based, not a remote connection) access is denied.
The problem is in the NTFS file permissions being assigned to the new database mdf and ldf files. Local administrators and the builtin Network Service accounts have permissions, but the student who created the database gets nothing... So the student is denied access to the mdf and ldf files when trying to make a connection to them using VB Express.
I can go in with a different account having admin privileges are assign privileges to power users for the mdf/ldf files after they're created but this isn't what I need (students need to work whenever they want without waiting for an admin to fix the file permissions).
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong? If I have to I can insist on students always using VS 2005 instead of VB Express and use connections to a remote database (no problems doing this), but I'm still hoping for an express solution.
I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this is a dumb question (but even if it is - can anyone point me in the right direction?)
Thanks

Hello,
I want to offer a SQL 2005 server in back-end configuration for my hosting clients. Basically this means that they administer the DB with a webbased tool and the DB server it self is configured in the backend and has no direct connect to the internet. The DBs can only be access from the frontend web server.
- What security considerations should I take to use this server in a public hosting environment?
- We only allow webbased administration, no direct connect to the server are allow and possible.
- Multiple databases will exist on the same server from different customers.
I really would like to have as many information as possible. There is not much usefull information available on the web or in the books I own about SQL.
The question should actually be: what do you want to prevent from happing on your servers by authenticated users and ofcourse unwanted users. And how to do this.

1. Give limited rights to Developers, i.e. db reaonly, db writedeny
2. Make strong password for local and Domain
3. Use Windows authentication
4. Enable log for 'Failed Login' attempts.
What steps I need to take in addition to those?

We are currently managing about 75 SQL Server instances. Each instance contains jobs (backups, index work, admin, etc) which report back to a central instance for monitoring. This is working well, but each time I need to change one of the jobs, I am having to log into each instance to do so.
I have recently played with Multi-server Environment, using a master and target, to see if this might help. There is relatively little written about Multi-server in books-online, and I am left with a question.
All jobs appear to be exact duplicates. But I don't want exact duplicates. For example, on the various target servers, I would like for the backup jobs to run at different times, and write to different directories. How are the rest of you working around this situation, if you are using Multi-server Environment?

Hi all,
does anybody know if it is possible to use environment variables when calling dtexec utility?
I'd like to run packages stored on server's file system from directory that I've had specified in an environment variable called SSIS_PackagesPath.
Now, I'am trying to write dtexec command, where path to the actual SSIS package would be concatenation of environment variable (i. e. path to package directory) and name of package itself (written explicitly). Is this syntactically possible?
The reason behind is to be able to easily modify package storage directory for multiple scheduled jobs that run SSIS packages.
Any other ideas are hapilly welcomed.
Thanks,
Marek

I have two SQL servers that I am trying to setup log shipping on. I am unable to get the restore of the initial database to work on the standby server. It gets a "unable to open file" error when trying to do the restore.
I have created a "syncaccount" user on both machines, and both have same password. I have used configuration manager to set the user/password for the agents on both servers.
I have given syncaccount admin access. I have added syncaccount to the shares on both servers.
Wy am I getting this error.
Does anyone else think it is VERY difficult to make this function work.

Hi,
I have a SAN and configuring a cluster on SQL 2005. I initially created a Quorum drive when setting up the cluster and now added 4 more drives to the physical node but when I try to install SQL that drive cannot be located.
Do we need to create all the drives when installing the cluster or what is the way to add the drives later on.
Thanks
