SQL Security :: ALTER DATABASE Failed Because A Lock Could Not Be Placed On Database
Jul 20, 2015
I have a script that automates some db drop/restore operations and bringing the database to single user mode is part of it: ALTER DATABASE ... SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE...I want this to executes under a login, that has restricted privileges, so I've created a login and granted it a dbcreator role + ALTER ANY DATABASE privileges.
Problem: When I run the script against a database with an active/sleeping connection:It fails when using the restricted login: "Msg 5061...ALTER DATA BASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database ..."It completes successfully when using a sysadmin login According to stackoverflow.com the solution is to kill the active/sleeping connections to the database, before ALTER-ing it, which works fine, but the question is....
Questions: Why the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement works under the sysadmin login, but not under a dbcreator one?Does this mean the sysadmin login kills the connections to the target database in the background?Is it possible to grant additional privileges to the restricted login, so the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement won't need preventive killing of the connections?

Hi,
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042.
I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs
fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection
Databases: <list of databases>
Include indexes
Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42.
Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46.
Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time.
If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I want a database user to be able to alter login, database user and database role from my application. so, i assigned that user to sccurityadmin server role, db_accessadmin and db_securityadmin database roles....By now, the user can add or remove login and database user. However, the user cannot add or remove any database role membership. What am I missing here?? What should I do so that the user can create, and alter database roles in the database??

I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.

Hi!
I use proc handling special business logic (I also use constraints, indexes for that ;-)
Now I have a situation where I should check multiple rows with an proc.
Preventing multi-user issues I want to lock the table (yes, yes potential performance issue, but in this case there are few simultaneous jobs) - in Oracle I could lock the table, but what to do in SQL Server?
Maybe you have an better alternative, then let me hear ;-)
Or should I use "begin transaction"...
Thanks for help

In SSMS, I connect Object Explorer to a partially contained database using a contained user login with password. This user has a database role of dbdatareader. When I try to expand the Tables in the database, I get the error:Â
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'extended_properties', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Is there a way to set permissions for the contained user so that this could be done?

I had created 2 Sql server instance in 2 servers created using VMware. From the primary server I log shipped the required databases into the secondary. Both the servers were in the same domain whose active directory was also in another server in the same virtual lab environment. My question can we have the primary sql server in one domain and the secondary sql server to which the logs are shipped in another domain by including a router also between the 2 networks for connectivity?

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

i have a development database that has updates and changes to a production database. rather than go through individually and alter all relevant tables and stored procedures, id like to back up the database on the development side and restore it on the production side as the production database. is there a way to restore the database on the production server but preserve all the security settings (ie logins and such)? i noticed on our development server, that if i try to restore the database with my development database, it overwrites the users and/or if the user is the same on both, it removes the login name for that user.

I am using SQL Server 6.5 and this database has 50 database tables and each table has 10000 records in it. So, in short it is very big database. Very often I get the "Database Lock" problem. I tried to tune the database but no help. Is it like that if I upgrade SQL Server 6.5 to SQL Server 7.0, will it help me ? If yes, how ?

I'm new to ASP.NET (I normally work with Windows Forms) and have installed the Club Website Starter Kit. I created an Administrators role and a user called "admin". When I run the project locally, everything works as it should - I can log in as admin and I can create new users.
I then copied the site to localhost (C:Inetpubwwwroot), but when I run the site from localhost, I can't log in (as admin or any other user); instead I get a message that says, "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again."
Also, I can't create a new user. When I try, I get the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I figure there must be a simple(?) explanation and solution for this problem, and ideally, some sort of step-by-step procedure that new users to ASP.NET can follow to configure a site - such as one of the starter kits - to work correctly. I can honestly say that trying to get this working has been an extremely frustrating experience.
If someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. I've been working on this for two days and feeling I have hit the wall.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,I am getting a real problem with ASP.NET 2.0, all i am trying to do is run a recovert password (using the login controls) and i got the following error.Does anybody know how to fix this? I have tried the SSEUTIL answer here and it didn't work. http://forums.asp.net/909168/ShowPost.aspxI also ensured that Network Services user has READ/WRITE/EXECUTE premissions on the directory below and that each file isn't read only and also that it inherits ACL from the directory which it seems to do..Bit of strange one this, it isn't created (and i am not using) a beta version of VS 2005 Pro... but a full retail version.The PC is the local PC with IIS 5.1 and VS installed... it is the one i am using for developing.. I don't need to copy my files to the IIS directory below as that is where i have created it and open it in VS 2005 from there..I did read that if you use IIS 5.1 then the user should be ASPNET ... but i don't seem to have that use but a Network Services user...Any help or guidance would be really appreciated... i have come to a stop stage and can't get any further..Thanksian

Hi,
How do I lock entire database? I want an exclusive lock on the db by
a user
who is the dbo of that database only (not sa
user).
The
scenario is we have a web application and each week we need to do data
uploads (with etl). During this upload, the users accessing the website
should not be able to read data. This is why I want database lock.
Now
the catch here is, the application access the data using user say abc.
Abc is dbo for that database and the etl is also done by abc login. So
will db locking help in this case as the website can also read the data
being a abc user?
Thanks,
Tanmaya

I am building a Windows Forms application in VS 2005, using C# and SQL Server 2005 Express as the backend.
When I try to accessd data from the db, it works with no problems.
When I try to insert/update/delete, I get the following error message
Failed to update database "DBNAME" because the database is read-only.
I am using a connection string with the following syntax:
"Data
Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=c:PATH_TO_DBdb.mdf;Database=MyDB;Integrated
Security=False;User Instance=False;User ID=USR;Password=PWD;"
I have made sure that the permissions on the DB are set (in Windows) so
that all users can modify. The user that is logging in to the DB has
status set to DBOWNER.
I have seen others experience the same problem - with ASP.net sites,
not Windows Forms sites (thus most of their solutions dont apply to me)
Any ideas on what is wrong and how I can get this to work?

Hello,Could some clarify for me? I’ve been told that I should add lock statements to my database write querys (update, delete, insert). I’m not sure If it’s necessary though. The only documentation I’ve found so far is how to implement a lock statement with threading but I’m not using the threading namespace. What best practice and how would I implement this without threading or should I be using threading?Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of writing a stored procedure that takes data from a table, within a cursor, and puts that data to the network server via the xp_cmdshell procedure. The xp_cmdshell command is at the end of the cursor in the SP.
I have worked with the admins on getting the proper permissions to execute this procedure and have tested it by running the procedure directly in Query Analyzer and by calling it in Query Analyzer successfully.
However when I try to call this procedure from another programming envirnoment, once the xp_cmdshell process is called, the procedure locks up and blocks the rest of the process, including the other software programming environment. When I look at the error log, it indicates that correct command, as a matter of fact I have copied the log file command into Query Analyzer and ran the procedure successfully. So for some reason, the statement is not being committed or there is some kind of threading issue I do not know how to address.
If anyone out there has any suggestions or has a simular problem in the past and knows how to address it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have question on lock on table in SQL Server while inserting data using multiple processes at a single time into same table.Here are my questions on this,
1) Is it default behavior of SQL server to lock table while doing insert?
2) if yes to Q1, then how we can implicitly mention while inserting data.
3) If I have 4 tables and one table is having foreign keys from rest of the 3 tables, on this scenario do I need to use the table lock explicitly or without that I can insert records into those tables?
