I'm having an issue in encrypting large documents. I know that previous editions ENCRYPTBYKEY had a maximum size of 8,000 byte limitation. Does SQL Server 2014 have any new features that overcomes this limitation?
Using
SQL Server 2014 Std
Symmetric key with AES_256
I'm having problems with the following code:
--DROP MASTER KEY
--GO
USE master;
CREATE MASTER KEY
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Pass@word1';
GO
USE master;
[code]....
What am I missing? What do I have to do if I get in a situation where I need to back out and start over?

I need to encrypt some column level data in multiple tables in SQL server 2014. I've never tried encryption in SQL server 2014. How can I achieve it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to upload a fixed field text file to a sqlserver table using the DTS wizard. The txt file has 111 columns and the total length of a single row is 5897. The problem is when I use the wizard to specify the starting and ending of each column, its not allowing me to specify the columns beyond the position 4095.
Is there a limitation on this? if so is there a work around ? to solve this.
Any help on this is truly appreciated.
Thanks much. :)
I inherited a lot of Servers to upgrade to 2014 to include an SSRS Server.
The encryption Key was never backed up and it seems that no one knows what the password is?
Do I have to manually load the reports? There are a lot of Reports.

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) can be used to encrypt data transferred on our network between our SQL Server instance and a client application. My question is that can I configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on my SQL Server, While this requires a trusted certificate?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement the column encryption on one of the tables, have used the below link as the reference and got stuck at the last step.

I have completed the following steps so far.
- CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = ‘myStrongPassword’

Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Where will I use the convert function, in decrypt function or in select statement?
Using the new encryption included in SQL Server 2005, what is a good way to determine what length I should use for the column?
For example, I am encrypting a column, its maxlength is about 30 characters, but when encrypted, the encrypted value extends from between 50 and no more than 68 characters-
So if I had a column with a max of 500 or so characters, how could I know what varbinary length I should set it to if I were to encrypt it, without actually finding the highest value I could possibly fit into the field?
Is it good practice to just make it a varbinary(max) field?

I have to disable newly implemented database encryption. It's a necessity unfortunately. Can I do this during production hours without much of a hit? I know I have to restart the instance after it's done. Can I expect performance impacts or other issues?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have software that uses SQL Server Express as it's database. I am only able to import so many records until it stops and fails to allow me to import anymore.
I'm very new at this but, is there some type of limitation on Table size that's preventing me from importing anymore data?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me,

For those of you who would like to reference my exact issue, I'm dealing with the RSExecution SSIS package at the "Update Parameters" data flow task, at the Script Component.
The script tries to split parameter data into name and value. Unfortunately, I have several reports that are passing parameters that are very large. One example has over 65,000 characters all in the normal "¶mname=value&parm2=value..." format.
The code in the script works fine until it gets to one of these very large parameter sets. I have figured out what is causing the issue. Here's some code:
Dim paramBlob as Byte()
paramBlob = Row.BlobColumn.GetBlobData(0, Row.BlobColumn.Length)
The second parameter of the .GetBlobData function takes an INTEGER as its count! Therefore, no matter what kind of datatype I pass to the string that the script will later split, it will be limited to 32767 characters.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? I need all of the parameter data to be reported, and I would hate to have to skip over rows like this. Also, if I'm missing something, please fill me in!
Thanks for your help in advance,

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.

Hi all,
I want to enter the below data into a database...
PHP Code:
insert into price_list(price_list, price_list_note) values('MDC2 Close','This price list represents all close prices sent electronically by the vendor (FT InteractiveData ("IC")) for all US Debt securities. IDC data can be looked up through the website or through a Geneva price query');
However the price_list_note data gets truncated. Only first half gets inserted into the database.
Why is this?
I'm using Data Type Varchar with Length=8000
Also tried text(16)
Any ideas?? Thanks.
Hello folks!
I have written a stored proc that selects data from this table:
A1 AA
A2 BB
B1 AAA
B2 BBB
and puts it another table in this manner:
A1 AA BB
A2 AA BB
B1 AAA BBB
B2 AAA BBB
In short, I wanted to concatenate data in the second column.
My question is for some reason, SQL Server is limiting the length of the string to only 256 characters, even though I have defined the local variables in the storeds proc as varchar(1000) and the table has that field defined as text.
Any ideas how I can get around this problem?
Thanks!

i need to store quite along description in the database, which in anyother database i would choose the data type 'text', however, can someone tell me why the length is set to just 16 in sql server..... i have seen a text field with far greater than 16 chars, set at length 16, so what does this length of 16 mean?????
also what is the max length of the text field?
thanks
Hi.
I have a SQL Server 2000 database that contains information I would like to encrypt. The information is a field inside a table, and I would like to encrypt this information using a key, and decrypt it in my asp.net application using that key and use the decrypted data.
Please tell me how this can be done, or direct me to an article or a link on the subject.
Thanks in advance.
I know there is no native encryption in SQL2K, but what 3rd party encryption tools would other forum members recommend from experience? I am required to encrypt data for PCI compliance.
Thanks

Hello,
I store data in an .mdf file (I use SQL server 2005), because this way it's easier to move the application from one machine to another.
I've faced a problem with the encryption of the database.
Is there a possibility/way to encrypt a database file so that, if someone else finds/copies the mdf, he/she won't be able to read it.
I thought about encrypting the string values of the tables itself and decode them inside the application and encide when Inserting, but why inventing somehing that might already exist.
Thank you.
I have a sp which works fine from my local database.
I move the procedure to a different database and modify it to access my data via linked server and I get the following:
provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production" returned message "String data, length mismatch".
Msg 7421, Level 16, State 2, Line 27
Cannot fetch the rowset from OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production". .
Now I've seen references to this error message for ODBC, but as I said above, the same SP works fine if it goes against local data views. I am working with rather long concatenated strings using nvarchar(max) as the data type.
I've tried cast() on just about everything to no avail.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
I read a couple of articles related to encryption topic in this forum and I feel that's really helpful I don't know if anyone has some knoeledge about the encryption issues in replication and clustering environment. I read some documents from Microsoft web site that explains how to move an encrypted database from its original server to another new server instance. That cause a lot manual works, if the database master key has been encrypted by the original service master key and you still want to enjoy the auto-open feature in the new environment. As we know the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has a hierarchy encryption key structure and its top level service master key is really service oriented. For what kind of mechanism or set up, Microsoft makes their encrypted database working smoothly and automatically in a clustered and replicated infrastructure. Is that possible to sacrifice the security a bit by dump the service master key for database master key and make database more portable? I search the web site all the way, but couldn't find the related topic. Anybody has a good idea or experience to share?

I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.
Example of data in CSV are as follows:
"XXX","0001",-990039739 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0
"ABC"," ",-3422054702 ,0 ,481385 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0
"JJZ","0001",0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0Here's my format:

I'm consistently getting >10 minute render times in a matrix based report whose underlying query only takes 1-2 seconds to run in both RS's data tab and mgt studio. The bad render times occur in preview tab, Report Viewer and when requested from Report Manager. I believe most of the time being taken is RS's attempt to pivot and present the data.
I can run a homegrown query that pivots (with unknown number of cols) the data itself in under 4 seconds but would be concerned about mapping an unknown number of columns to a table region in RS.
The matrix I'm testing with is 67 columns across (just over 2 months of daily columns) and is supposed to be 207 rows long. There is no aggregation required by RS when it is pivoting the data because each intersection occurs at most one time in the query's result set. The number of data points actually being "bucketed" is around 13,800 values. Row headers consist of 3 columns.
RS is also cutting off the number of rows it is supposed to be showing. The number of rows cutoff seems to be 100% repeatable based on the date range chosen. RS doesnt tell me when it cuts off rows that should have been displayed. From what I can tell so far, it never cuts off columns.
The number of rows cut off seems consistent across designer's preview, report viewer and when requested thru report manager. The "run" command (exclamation icon in data tab) seems to always return the correct number of unpivoted rows, just as in mgt studio.
Are there known bugs and or limitations in RS's matrix data region feature? Are there some settings or workarounds that might make it work more to my liking?

I want to group the following data attached by CUSTACCT, YEAR, PERIOD(month). As you can see in the attached example, I see duplicates for late fees and Exchange fees but none for FLIGHT_HRS. I want to see the data grouped by CUSTACCT by YEAR then by PERIOD for each of these: FLIGHTHRSSUM, LATEFEESUM, EXCHFEESUM without duplicates.
Is this possible?

Hi,
As SQL Server XE can run on one PC maximum, does it mean that it can't support multi users??? I mean could it be installed on one server and to be used by multiple users connected to server with their PCs?

I'm a web developer who writes transact-SQL to make my web applications run properly. I'm not real strong in other areas of SQL. Let me explain our set-up and then I'll explain what I want to do:
We have an ecommerce web site and all sales are saved in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database at our hosting company. We also have a local Windows 2012 network that has SQL Server 2014 Express installed.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to copy sales rows from the SQL Server 2008 database at our hosting company and save them in the SQL Server 2014 Express database on our local Windows 2012 server. I'd like to automate this if possible so that it happens each night perhaps. I know there is a way to schedule SQL jobs but I've never actually done this. I also would need to know how to attach to our hosting company DB as well as our local network DB.
I want to import the data from specific Access Database and Table to SQL Server, using SQL Script. I am trying to implement the solution as given in this link. URL....Here is the code that I have tried -
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
[code]...
The access database file path is - 'C:SQL ProjectTestDB1001.mdb'.The Table from which I want to import the data is - [Table1001]. but when I run this script, I get this error -9 The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "MSAccessConnect" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Secondly I need to make 2 more changes to the code posted above.
1.If some access database .mdb, has got password protection, then how to include the password in the script, so that one does not have to manually feed in the password during data import work.
2. How to limit the data that is to be imported from the table [Table1001] by including a WHERE Clause, like for example - SELECT * FROM [Table1001] WHERE xdate = '2015-9-16 00:00:00.000')
I Have a table with #Sample like below
=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000 BC
3 995-000-000 CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?
I am trying to import data from an excel Sheet to SQL Database using OPENROWSET. After import I found that all the cells containing data of more than 2000 length got truncated to 255 characters only. I tried finding the solution and found that We need to have the data with length more than 255 in first 8 rows of Excel sheet. It worked for me also. But In real scenario the data that I cant do the manual work on excel. I tried out with Dot Net utility and SSIS package also but the truncation is still the issue.
INSERT into tmp_Test
SELECT
