SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Run Procedures With Execute As Owner
Jun 19, 2015
I have a periodic backup task, and when I need a development copy on which to test code, I restore my most recent backup to a different name, switch the ODBC link to that name on my development machine and have a current copy of the database to play with.
I've been doing this for years, and it works great. Just now I did it, and suddenly my development machine is unable to run any stored procedures that have the 'Execute as owner' clause in their definition. I'm using domain accounts, my personal account is the owner of the database, and everything works on the production copy, which is in the same instance on the same machine.
The test copy is identical to the production copy, which continues to work fine - it was just created using by restoring the backup of the production copy, but I can't run anything with this clause. As soon as I delete the 'Execute as owner' line, the procedure is suddenly available. If I put it back, I'm locked out again.
The error message is: The server principal “sa” is not able to access the database “WhateverDB” under the current security context
I have a column in a table, which have the stored procedure name stored in each row. Now, I need to execute each SP in the table dynamically. I'm trying to construct a SQL but not able to fire them!!
DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX) SELECT @sql = STUFF((SELECT '; GO EXEC ' + StoredProcedureName + '' FROM MyTable FOR XML PATH ('')),1,5,'') print @sql EXEC sp_executesql @sql
We have three programers developping an application with Visual Basic. They have created some stored procedures, each stored procedure is owned by the its creator. So when M. A want to use the stored procedure created by M. B, he has to put B.stored procedure name and so on. It is really not pratical.
Now, we are looking for a method to make the owner of those stored procedures unique and the programers can modify a stored procdure at any time. Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks
Hi , it's sounds me bit stupid but can any one tell me that is there any tables/view that has information about database that who create this procedure or table.?
A former employee at my organization created a replication job to back up our database. The developer has since left and his windows account was deleted. I'm now receiving this error:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Replication agents checkup' (0xFC17DD4EF8E5694E8B786EE54CF8AD0D) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-06-05 15:40:00 - Message: The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (username) of job Replication agents checkup has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'username', error code 0x534. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404) The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 3621)).
How can I fix this? I looked under the Replication folder but didn't see anything.
I have just successfully published an web app and db to a server but when the web app tries to use a stored procedure it says that it cannot find stored procedure.....in my data base......eeeer anyone had this problem
One of our databases has at some point in its dark past had the owner of the guest schema changed to be a named user, rather than the default guest user. Correcting this feels like it would be easy enough by running the following...
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::guest TO guest but that results in.. Msg 15150, Level 16, State 2, Line 3 Cannot alter the schema 'guest'.
I realise the guest schema is a special one, and cannot be dropped, but I'm not trying to do that. End goal is to export the database to a SQL Azure DB, and this guest schema assignment is blocking that process from completing.
I have SQL Server 2005 database, and have linked it with three SQL Server 2000 databases, and using Windows Authentication.
I'm using ASP.NET with my main database (SQL Native Client), which is authenticating to the linked databases with the computer hostname (DOMAINCOMPUTER$) credential, which is all working fine on all databases for doing SELECT queries.
However, now I'm trying to run a stored procedure on the linked databases. Two of the three databases are working flawlessly in this regard, but the third I'm getting the error: EXECUTE permission denied... I've checked the logs, and it's showing the connection as being trusted, and I've already added the execute permission for the stored procedure in question, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I have restarted the database server, but that hasn't helped any.
I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS C:UsersJason KurantDesktop Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.
I'm automating some of the TDE stuff and while doing so stuck somewhere. I'm unable to use section [ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = ''"' + @db_pswd + '"'' ] properly as in if the user (DBA) wants to pass a single quote(') in the password, then it will fail.
I used quoted_identifier OFF/ON outside my proc, no luck still.

awhile back someone (i think it was darren) submitted a post which had a code example of using sql server agent stored procedures to execute a package. i searched for the post, but i didn't find it.
anyway, can someone please re-post that example or provide a similar one?

I am trying to reorganise the log files on a server, (long story short they are fragmented so I want to shrink and reset the initial size and growth) and I am unable to shrink them. When I run the following:
use test DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log, TRUNCATEONLY) --or use DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log,2, TRUNCATEONLY)
I get the following message:
Msg 8985, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate file 'test_log' for database 'test' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped.
I get this message for every database on the server. I got the logical name of the file using sp_helpfile and have checked it against sys.masterfiles, sys.database_files and sys.sysaltfiles, all match up and confirm the name 'test_log'.
I rebooted the server last night and was able to shrink the first couple of .ldf's I tried so I presumed it was fixed. This morning when I try again i get the sanme error, I don't see anything in the SQL server or system logs that indicates a change.
I am able to add new log files and remove log files, however if I add a new log file (test_log2) and then try and truncate that file I get the same error.
We have SQL Server 008 R2 failover clustered instance.
Installation and everthing went smooth. But I'm getting a weired error

I am running sql script inside job.But sql is not saving the results in the file which i specified('Unable to open Step output file'). I tried same thing on different server, it works fine.Both are are 2008 R2.Is there any server level setting that i have to look at.On both servers i logged in as sal. Why is it working on server1 ,but not on server2?
I'm trying to connect to a database using a service account that we got created. The ID is an AD account and was added to the db as such. When I try to connect to the database using the account with the password I get [login failed for domainid]. The DBA mentioned that its setup to use windows auth, however, I can't connect with this service account using windows Auth, due to I'm using to connect via code.
How can I connect to the database from my code using this ID?
I have the ID and pwd in my code to connect with, does the ID have to be setup differently in the Database?
Had some big problems with my SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 during the last maintenance running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ( upgraded from Standard). I'm getting the following error,
"SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_sqlagent_has_server_access' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Agent XPs' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Agent XPs', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online."
I did a google search and found others with the problem but the resolution isn't working for me. I ran the following commands, heck I ran them multiple times. No errors come back running these commands. But the same error keeps happening, I even restart the service and then the server again.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1; GO RECONFIGURE GO
The msdb got too big for the disk it was on. I had maintenance plans to clear out the all of histories but I didn't think of the mail items. When I finally saw this problem I tried clearing them out using the stored procedures only with it finally failing because the transaction log got full. Since we didn't have a lot of jobs scheduled I decided to just recreate the msdb. So I scheduled a maintenance window, download SQL Server Service Pack 3.
my steps are as follows: ->diff backup of msdb ->stopped the service and started it again with: NET START MSSQLSERVER /T3608 ->detached msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb" ->moved it off the drive ->restarted the service without any startup flags ->recreated msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -i"D:Microsoft SQL ->ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb.sql" -o"D:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb62715.out"
I looked at the log file and there were no actual error messages so I applied service pack 3 and restarted server after it installed, was actually prompted to restart. In my tests I was never prompted to restart the server.Now I never started the agent service after recreating the msdb database since I knew it wasn't on the same version. I just went directly to the latest SP. Our applications are running fine but now I cant do scheduled backups.
I am search for coding criteria I need create a stored procedure with execute as and along with encryption. How can I use the same ? My main motive is to create proc with execute as a user also at the same time I need to encrypt the same from other users seeing the code.
The below query is getting errors:
Create procedure testproc with execute as 'user' and with encryption as truncate table some table
I have a database which contains a stored procedure. The stored procedure contains an update script to a different database. The user group have access to the database that stores the stored procedure but do not have update rights to the database that contains the data that is being updated.
Therefore, every time the user group executes the stored procedure it fails because the security permissions do not propagate to the next database.
Is there anything I can do to get around this without grant dbo permissions to the whole user group.
I have built the following query in SSMS, when I add it to an Execute SQL Task in SSIS. I get this error -
"[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT @columnz = COALESCE(@columnz + ',[' + times..." failed with the following error:
"Must declare the scalar variable "@columnz".". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly."
Query:

I have this requirement where some store procedures from a "seed" database need to be replicated to another database (on demand, so replication is not suppose to be use in this scenario).
I know it can be achieved by exporting the store procedures and then execute that at the B database but I want something a bit more automatic since it can be a large number of sprocs. I am trying something like this (still in dev):
SET NOCOUNT ON; -- SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY definition) seq, definition base into #sprocs FROM databaseA.[sys].[procedures] p INNER JOIN databaseA.sys.sql_modules m ON p.object_id = m.object_id
[Code] ....
But I am sure there are way better ways to accomplish that...
Hi!I have a problem. i have created a website with a login page, i have moved all my aspnetdb tables to my remote host. but when iam trying to logon i get this error messages. EXECUTE permission denied on object 'aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion', database 'dbname', owner 'dbo'. Someone? I really need help...
I just installed this application on my new server and I get this error for each object in the database including the tables and the stored procedures. I have been going in for each one and opening the properties and then going to permissions and making the changes for each one. Is there a way to do this for the entire database at once? Thanks

I need the file created by my BCP QUERYOUT command I'm executing from XP_CmdShell in Transact-SQL to have a specific OWNER. I've tried using the sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account to setup the correct owner. The owner is always SERVERNAMEAdministrators.
I am having this issue with my application developed in VB.Net. The thing was working properly for the last couple of years. But suddenly it is giving me this error message when ever I try to execute the following code.
mycommand = New SqlCommand(sqlstr, SqlConnection1)
SqlConnection1.Open()
mycommand.ExecuteReader()
The operation is never related to sending e-mail and even the master Database, it is used just to display records on grid.
Here is the error message comeing out when it reaches the mycommand.ExecuteReader():
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_startmail', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.
