If I have two NT accounts and performance using one account is pretty
awful what might be the most likely reasons for the difference in
performance?
We're talking about a few hundred thousand rows being returned from a
SELECT statement within a stored procedure with a few INNER JOINS.
I have been running a script in SQL Server 2000 as sa also as a Active Directory user who has administrator rights (I tested both approaches SQL Server then Windows Authentication) in Query Analyser which grants execute rights to the stored procedures within the database instance and Query Analyser does not give any errors when I run the script. I have made sure that each transaction has a go after it. I then return to Enterprise Manager, check the rights (I apply them to roles so that when we create another SQL Server user we just grant him/her rights to the role) and discover that the role has not been granted the rights. I seems to be occurring only with 2 of the procedures. Is there a known bug that might be causing this?

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

I want to connect to an SqlServer database and I have given the connectionstring on an WinXP computer as Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='localhost'; trusted_connection=true; Database='domains'"
Now, when I copied the files to another computer which is Win 2003 Server, I had to give the connectionstring as
Dim ConnectionString As String = "workstation id=INFO0;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=INFO0;persist security info=False;initial catalog=domains"
Now, I want to upload the files to a website called "BrowseNow.com".
What should be the connectionstring when the files are being uploaded to the server.
I want the public to read from and write to this database tables.
Is there anything I should do witht the SQL Server Enterprise Manager?
Thanking you in advance,

Every night we use sp_attachdb to attach a 1TB database to our datawarehouse server. Each night we kill off all nonsystem related spids, setall the other databases to DBO only and then attach. The attach seems totake between 4 minutes to an hour. With an idle server and filegroup sizesthat have not grown what could be causing the variance? The number oftransactions to rollback or forward doesn't seem to have an impact. The logindicates that the attach is spending almost all its time in phase 2.Anyone know exactly what happens in phase 2?Books online and reading the sp_attachdb proc weren't much help.sp_attachdb is simply a derived call to create database ... for attach.Any insight is appreciated.Thanks,Ray
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a query that varies depending on control values. For example, what comes after the SELECT, FROM, WHERE, or ORDER vary with what table they need to look in, how they want to look it up, what value they are looking for, and what order they want it displayed in. There are too many possibilities to write seperate queries for. The data found goes to a dataset and gets bound to a gridview. This is done inside a vb sub.
I tried to make a similar query in a selectcommand inside sqldatasource tags with if-then-elses in <% %>s but got an error saying something like "constructs were not allowed inside tags."
How do you make a varying query as a selectcommand inside datasource tags?
Greetings,
I have a somewhat complex stored procedure running on 3 production servers. On 2 of the 3 servers the stored procedure executes in three seconds. The stored procedure runs to completion on the 3rd production server but requires 8 minutes to complete.
The sproc contains a single query that contains correlated subqueries that each call the same user function. If I copy the sproc's query and execute it directly from Management Studio, the query runs in 3 seconds, just like the stored procedure on the other two production servers. The sproc has one parameter.
I have updated statistics and recompiled the stored procedure and user function (on the 8 minute server). That doesn't help. I have used the WITH RECOMPILE option in the stored procedure. The query execution plan for the stored procedure is not the same execution plan prepared for the sproc's query when it is run on a standalone basis. I'm no expert with execution plan analysis but I can see significant differences between the sproc and the sproc's query.
The 3 servers are supposed to be identical in hardware and software configuration.
Can anyone provide any insight into what might be going wrong on the 8 minute server?
Thanks,
BCB
I know that if I set the Package.MaxConcurrentExecutables Property to -1, it will execute the maximum number of concurrent running executables to equal the number of processors plus two.
I have a requirement where I have to run the maximum number of concurrent running executables. However, the number of concurrent executables to run varies each month (it is not fixed).
If I have a loop inside the package that executes each stored procedure (same sproc, different parameter), will SQL Server execute the maximum number of concurrent running executables possible? (It may execute 4 or 8 at a time and that is fine.)
Thanks,
Michael
We have a winforms application with local rdlc reports. On Surface Windows 8 Pro devices only, reports render such that they are scaled down and don't fill the page. If resolution is lowered on the device, the report scales up to fill the page.
This affects the appearance in print layout and well as the actual printed size.
If we export to pdf, it renders to fill the page (as expected). If you print to pdf or to printer, the scale is shrunken.
If we change the resolution settings so that "Make text and other items larger or smaller" is set to small, the issue is resolved except the tablet is not very usable on this setting.Is this a bug?
I have several DTS jobs that runs well as a job with my nt login account for the SQL agent service startup account, but if I use the System account

The data has change access to the System account under the NT security.

Hi all, i hope you can help me.
Basically a dts package has been setup that pulls in data from another companies server, this data requires to be on-demand i.e individual users can pull in updates of the data when they require it.
I am using xp_cmdshell and dtsrun to pull in the data. This obviouly works fine for me as i am a member of sysadmin.
Books online quotes " SQL Server Agent proxy accounts allow SQL Server users who do not belong to the sysadmin fixed server role to execute xp_cmdshell"
So i went to the SQL Server Agent Properties 'Job System' tab and unchecked 'Non-sysadmin job step proxy account' and entered a proxy account.
The proxy account has been setup as a Windows user with local administrator privilages and even a member of the sysadmin server role - just in case.
Now when i log onto the db with my test account - a non-sysadmin - and attempt to run the stored proc to import the data i recieved the message 'EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'master', owner 'dbo' '
hmm... so basically i have either misunderstood BoL or there is something not quite right in my setup.
I have search the net for a few days now and yet i can find no solution.
Can anyone help?
Hi there,BOL notes that in order for replication agents to run properly, theSQLServerAgent must run as a domain account which has privledges to loginto the other machines involved in replication (under "SecurityConsiderations" and elsewhere). This makes sense; however, I waswondering if there were any repercussions to using duplicate localaccounts to establish replication where a domain was not available.Anotherwords, create a local windows account "johndoe" on both machines(with the same password), grant that account access to SQL Server onboth machines, and then have SQL Server Agent run as "johndoe" on bothmachines. I do not feel this is an ideal solution but I havecircumstances under which I may not have a domain available; mypreliminary tests seem to work.Also, are there any similar considerations regarding the MSSQLSERVERservice, or can I always leave that as local system?Dave
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a situation that I have discovered in our QA database that I need to resolve. When I looked at the Activity Monitor for our server, I discovered that a process is running under a domain user account for one of our .Net applications. The problem is that that domain user account has not been created as a SQL login account on the server. I am trying to figure out how someone can log in to the database server with a domain user account that has not been added to SQL Server as a login account.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I don't like the idea of someone being able to create domain account that can access the database without me granting them specific access.

i am currently trying to connect to sql server with one of the windows user accounts. I am trying to connect to it via a browser using a dns-less connection. I have put in all the correct user name and password details and it comes back with Login failed for user xxxxxxx.
If i create a user in sql server and put those login details in, it works fine.
Can i use windows users with a dns-less connection???
I wanted to make SQL Server starts up with a certain user account.
But when I entered a user account and password, a message appeared saying something like "user account and Security ID have no mapping......If you choose to proceed, SQL Server might not be able to start up".

Hi,
I know it's bad to use the built-in SA account to access SQL Server from my ASP.NET application.
I did some reading but would like some suggestions as well. One article I read talked about Application roles in SQL Server. Is this the best way to handle SQL Server access for read/write/update/delete privileges from an ASP.NET application?
If this is the way to go, how do I set it up? Can anyone suggest a good web site to read up on this?
We are debating whether to run the SQL Server service as Local System, a domain user without local admin rights, or a domain user with local admin rights. MSDN recommends local admin rights, but doesn't require them.
I would like to get some idea of how the real world handles this. If you run as a local admin, how do you handle the security implications? And if you run without local admin rights, what gotchas have you run into with extended stored procs, replication, etc?
Thanks,

I have a SQL 2000 (SP3) running on a Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) box used in our test environment. The SQL Server was configured to run under the local system account before I got here. In an effort to standardize things, I tried changing the SQL Service account to run under a designated domain user account purpose built for the job. We use this particular account for all of our new-build servers (which are W2K). This domain account is configured to be a "Power User" on the NT 4.0 Server in question.
Soon after changing things over to run under the new account, all the developers complained that they could no longer connect to the server. I could through QA and EM, but none of the developers could.
The developers are using WebLogic and JDBC drivers for the most part. I wasn't aware that the SQL Server service account affected client connectivity. Was I wrong or is there something else at work here?
Thanks,

I have recently installed 2005 Standard and 2005 Reporting Services (on a separate server), today we built a service account for the SQL services in Active Directory. I planned to use SQL Configuration tools to change the account but it fails with the message:
'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done'
I ended up going through and following the manual steps outlined in KB article 283811 - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283811
But I am baffled and concerned as to why it failed.
Any advice?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell, this is very confusing.
I have 2 servers that are members of the same AD Domain.
I need an account that can login to either one, but needs to be able to start a service, which my network admin says a local domain administrator cannot do.
So, I just decided to create an account with the same name, properties and password on both machines.
This I did. The account is a member of local Windows Administrator group on each server. Additionally, it is an SQL account on the SQL Server local instance, and a member of the SysAdmin group.
I can assign this account to SQL Server as the startup account (Log in with this account). That works fine.
However, when I assign this account to SQL Server, then SQL Server Agent quits running. So I try to assign this same account to this service and I get an error that the account 'Unknown' cannot login and needs to be a member of the SysAdmin group!??
This is a completely confusing error message since the account is a Windows Admin, SQL Server SysAdmin account and can start SQL Server fine without a hitch.
Anyone else having this very annoying problem ?!

Guys,
I have got WINDOWS 2000 Advanced Server and MS SQL SERVER 7.0 running on my live server. Now when we are planning for replication, we have found that SQL server will require to run under a domain account. At the moment there are so many ASP pages running on our server accesses different databases created using SQL server 7.0. Most of them are DSN connections to the database. Now if i create a domain account and restart the server and MS SQL services with the domain account, how is it going to effect the current web pages running on it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
