Is there anyway to really keep replicated SQL Server 2005 Express data secure when it is on a laptop and the laptop is stolen or lost. What would prevent someone from just reinstalling SQL Server on the laptop and attaching your database, or just attaching your mdf file to their own SQL Server. Is there anyway to keep that data secure in that scenerio?
Thank you
I would like to refer to the following technical article
SQL Server 2005 Security Best Practices - Operational and Administrative Tasks
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/sql2005secbestpract.mspx
Among best practices for SQL Server service accounts on page 8, it is recommended to 'use a separate account for each service'. I created separate account for each service as advised and assign account to relevant Windows group created for each SQL Server service during SQL setup.
Now when I run Best Practices Analyzer, its report seemed to contradict what the above article said. For example, BPA reports excerpts:
"We recommend that the service SQLBrowser on host MachineName be run under Network Service Account". I get similar recommendation for SQLSERVERAGENT account as well. Most importantly, it recommends that MSFTESQL be run under SQL Server Service Account.
Can anyone of you shed some light on it?
Thanks,
Asaf
Does anybody have a link to either of these two documents. My company is getting ready to go through an audit and we need some firepower and to know what is expected. Any help with obtaining microsoft SQL Server 2005 best practices documents is appreciated.

Hi ,
I have been using ms sql 2000 database for generating reports up till now . but now as per a new requirement , i have to obtain data for generating the report from sql express & not ms sql 2000 , and that too in offline mode . i do not know how the structure of data is there in sql express .
1)do we have data stored in tables? or do we use xml ?
2)do we write similar queries as we write in ms sql ??
3) and lastly what is this offline stuff ???
Can any one please throw some light on comparison between sql 2000 and sql express in these three points.
Thanks in advance
Greetings,
I think these should be rather simple questions, yet I spent a number of hours last night digging through the forums here and msdn and couldn't find any satisfactory answers. Basically, there tend to be types of information that are commonly saved in most databases, like names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc...and there are a variety of built in data types in SQL Server. What are the best built in datatypes for some of the common entries in a sql database. Also, there are a number of character based types and I am curious why one would be more useful in certain situations than another. Why is there char( ), nchar( ), varchar( ), nvarchar( ) and text datatypes? Why so many? Also, what is the "text" datatype and when is it most likely to be used? There is very little about the text type that I can find in the msdn or SQL Server docs...aside from the fact that it's text. On top of all this, there's numerous binary types as well. I'm really not getting the reason behind all these different basic types and why I would want to use one over the other in any specific instance.
TIA,
Mark
Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a application having SQL Express as database. As the application will be installed on the client system, probably a server as per the user requirements, I require that the database cannot be accessed by anyone. As we know that the mdf and ldf files can be taken away by anyone and they can get the database structure as well as the data from database.
e.g. I install this application on one server, now any technical person can easily take a backup and install it on another server or can get the script of the database even if the db owner user id and password are blocked by me.
Please suggest me how can I block such action so that the database design and data cannot be accessed by any one outside the development team. I don't want the database schema to be revelead to anyone as it can harm the products information security.
We are releasing an application built on SQL Server Express in the next few months. Our clients are mostly small companies with little technical knowledge, and they will be using our application on desktop computers where everyone likely logs in as the same user. As such, my thinking is that we setup SQL Server Express as in SQL Server Authentication mode. This way they could select an Administrator password upon first installation, and manage user names and passwords from within the application itself.
View 22 Replies View RelatedCould somebody explain to me how does database security in the SQL Server Express environment works? It would seem that there has to be some level of "interplay" between the user's basic level of authority in Windows security on the machine (e.g., "Adminstrator" vs. "User"), the implications that that has on their level of access to the hard drive location where the database file is stored, and how security is configured within the database engine.

Is there a way to implement Access-like password protection on a SQL Server Express dataset?
The database will be deployed on individual's PCs with no centralization of control. I want to restrict users from being able to see table definitions, stored procedures, etc. Access-like password protection is what I want, but I don't see any similar feature within SQL Server Express. Am I missing something?
Hi,
I'm quite new to SQL Server Express and am having trouble with security. I have SQL Server Express installed on one of our servers and want to limit access to this instance of SQL Server, and basically grant access to only certain users within our organisation. However it seems that by default everyone can connect to SQL Server.
First of all I enabled local and remote connections. I did not grant anyone access permissions under Logins, and then went back to my workstation and tried to connect to the instance of SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio which I have installed locally. I presumed and hoped that it would come up with a message saying that I don't have access permissions to connect to SQL Server, but instead it let me connect and even create a new database.
I then went back to the server and changed EACH Login to Deny under Login Properties -> Status -> Permission to connect to Database Engine. Then I returned to my client and tried to connect again and it still succeeds and allows me to create/delete tables/ databases/etc.
Can someone please explain why this is? If any more details are required to answer this question let me know.
Thanks!!
I installed SQLE 2005 on vista home prem, and when I go to the studio and attempt to create a database, I get the message below. I am running under an admin account, but the system sees me as a standard user.
Do I need to re-install and tell the system to allow me to log on via. an ID/PW?
Is there a vista patch?
Should I re-install XP?
Also, not having this issue with the same SQLE version and an XP machine.
Thanks

Hi,I'm
building an asp.net website using web developer express and I have a
SQL 2005 express install on the same machine. Using windows security,
everything works fine for development.Now I need to get it working at the client site, where the web server and SQL 2005 Express are on different machines.I'd
tried using windows authentication but that didn't work, probably
wasn't doing it correctly. I'd like to try SQL Authentication, at least temporarily, since I
can replicate that on my laptop at home easily I think.I created a new SQL login but was really baffled by the screens showing roles and schemas, etc. There's so many roles to choose from and wasn't sure if this new login needed to own any schemas. I
did turn on remote connections and mixed-mode authentication, the
probably now is my asp.net membership provider login page isn't
authenticating correctly, maybe my permissions are wrong on the
aspnet_..... tables for users, roles, profiles, etc. Any advice?thanks,Bruce

Hi All,
I have noticed in the database logs that someone is trying to log
into our SQL Server express databases, is there a way of allowing only IP
address on a list to access the database. We really only need the local machine
and the office using SQL Express management studio to access the database.
I would appreciate any help sometimes the database runs very
slow and we do not know what is causing this.
We are running server 2003 and SQL Server express.
Thanks in advance.

I'm suspecting it's a permission error, but I can't verify this. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Say you have a database that had a process run for 2 days in a transaction until if filled the disk. The error causes a rollback (presumable another 2 days). I want to restore from a backup instead of waiting for the rollback to complete. Please to be telling me how to?

Hi!
I am moving some of my db to another disk drive.
Using this t-sql code to stop them before moving:
alter database "databasename"
set offline
go
Using this code to stop the db`s works well on some db`s, but som db`s wont stop at all.
I have to stop the excecution of the query after a few hours.
My system is SQL server 2005, sp2.
I have to design, load and write scripts for a remotely hosted SQL 7.0 Server.
My desktop computers are both Windows 98. What do I need to develop and publish databases from my desktop to the remote host? I have always had the luxury of having direct access to the SQL Server and cannot find any conclusive guidance at Microsoft's site.
Thanks so much for your help.
hi
i executed sp_dboption,'my_db','offline','true'

Please can anyone help me on this
Best Regards

On occasion, I notice that some of my backup devices have become "offline" and the scheduled tasks associated with them will no longer run.
I get this error:
Can`t open dump device `d:MSSQLBACKUPdvbk_AFISlog.DAT`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)
Does anyone know how to get them back online without having to create a new device? Thanks in advance...
I have a customer who's database was marked Suspect due to a drive failure that left a torn page. Before trying to reset the Suspect flag they took the database offline, and now we cannot get the database back online. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
We have a serious problem.
The database in SQL Server 6.5 is marked offline
and the error log displayed the following messages :
udopen : file 'F:Filename.DAT' is incorrect size (614400 bytes, should be 537600)
udactivate (primary) : failed to open device 'F:Filename.DAT' for vdn 131
The entries for the device exists in sysusages and sysdevices.
Anyone encountered this before?
Please help if you know how we can get the database online, again.
Many Thanks.
OK, so I took one of my db's offline for maintenance, then realized that I wanted to be logged in as another user, so I logged out.
Now SS won't let me log in, because every time I try to connect I get:
A connection could not be established...
Reason: Cannot open user default database. Login failed..
The db I took offline is the default db for every single privileged account on the server. Why do I feel like I just locked my keys in the car?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
Over the weekend I had one of my databases taken offline. To my knowledge no one explicitly took this database offline. This isn't to say that someone did and is refusing to speak up. I'm just trying to find some answers.
I do know that our IT dept. did maintenance to a number of our servers and they swear nothing was done to this one. So my question is, "Is there any SQL process that can take a database offline."
I've checked the log files but there isn't anything that directly points to that database being taken offline.
Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4, SQL 2000 SP3 on a NT INTEL X86 platform.
Any ideas or comments are appreciated!
What exactly is database offline? I tried to google it but didn't get what I was looking for.
One of my environments has few users. They attach databases and run an application to produce the results. Sometimes they forget to detach databases after their use and these databases remain in SQL Server. Sometimes they leave the database to use it in future.
At the moment there are about 900 databases attached. I believe these attached databases are using the servers resources and therefore, decrease performance. Is this correct?
I was thinking to force the users to detach databases that they do not need and attach when they need. Then thought why shouldn't just set the database to offline and take it back online when they need. Does this increase performance? Does this save server's resources?
Thanks,
Canada DBA
