SQL2005--How To Prohibit BackupOperator To Restore The Database To Local Workstation Server
Sep 25, 2007
We currently built a new SQL2005 server and have serveral sentitive Payroll database hosted in it. I managed to seperate some roles to various users to prohibit them to direct access the data but can access it via front-end application.
The problem is I setup a backup operator with the following rights
Server Roles -- Public
User Mapping
User Mapped to this login / Database membership for
PayrollDataBase_1 BackupOperatorName
db_backupoperator / db_denydatareader / db_denydatawriter / public
However, I try to login using the 'BackupOperatorName' in my workstation and Backup the PayllrollDataBase_1 to a server shared path says E:SqlDataBacupPayrollDataBase_1.BAK. Afterward, I copy it over the network back to my workstation and RESTORE in back to my local SQL2005 instant using the local SQL2005 SA user. All data CAN BE browse
Anyone please help to post how to restrict the Backup operator can only Backup the database but cannot restore to its local SQL2005 instant

Please quote some example right assigment so that I can replicate to our environment
I have installed the Workstation components on my local PC, which also contains VS 2005 and SQL Express. I installed the WS components so that I could run the full blown version of SQL Management Studio from my PC, to remove SQL 2005 servers.
I tried to update the Workstation components to SP1, but the SP1 package stops at the Setup Support Files, step and terminates claiming the package does not support SQL Express. I realize the package is not intended for Express, I simply need to update Management studio.
I tried running the Post SP1 Tools hotfix and it complains that it will not update SP0 of the tools.
I have successfully updated Express to SP1 and applied the Post hotfixes as well. Is there any way to patch just Management studio on a system with Express installed?
I backup the database into tape0 using management studio and can see the contents in the backup media.
However when I tried to restore, the error "timeout expired" appears and sometimes together with the error "restore headeronly is terminated abnormally".
Please advice and thank you in advance!

Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server. We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Sql server type: database engine server name: authentication: sql server authentication login: sa password: xxxxx
I remember the server name being sqlexpress (I think that was the default name during the install).
OR are they asking for my computer name? because I tried that also and it gave me an error saying "the default installation doesn't allow remote connections"
I have an interesting problem. I am running xp pro and when I try to connect to an instance of SQL2005 running on WIN2003 using SQL Sevrer Management Studio, I get the following error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
This instance is protected by a vpn and is running on a clustered environment. I can connect to other SQL2000 servers that are running on a clustered environment and SQL2005 that is not clustered.
After adding a host file entry, I was able to connect to the server using OSQL. I was able to telnet into the port the server is listening on.
Others in my group can connect to the server using SQL Server Management Studio with no problems. They are running Win2003 Server. I originally could connect to this server, but I needed to change my password. After that I lost my remote connectivity. I can RDP into the server and map drives to the server. I map to a local administrator of this machine.
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Restoring a DB from sql 2005 (which is located on my local computer) into sql 2000 (which is located on the server) and I am getting this type of message:

We have a SQLSERVER database that is replicated to many users.We are currently in an expansion phase where we need to make changesto the server database. Each time we rollout a new release, we aredeleting the local replicating database and recreating.Is there any way to automatically transfer the changes from the serverto existing local database without deleting?
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases

If I restore a SQL 2000 DB into 2005 it upgrades it for me. When restoring a DB to a new server/instance of SQL, in SQL 2000 I had to carry out the sp_changedbowner procedure after the restore was complete. Is the equivalent procedure when restoring a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 to go to the schema for the restored database, find the schema with the name of the SQL 2000 db owner and change the schema owner? OR alternatively run the following query where mark is the db owner in 2000 and lladmin in the new user in 2005 ;
I have SQL Server Management Studio. I can access some databases to which I have been given access to. How can I create a sample database to which I can upload excel files as data fields.
This is for testing purposes. Any help appreciated.
I have an automation project to review the software. The software is using MSVS2012 and uses DBs from MSSQL2012. Is it possible to restore the DB files on my local laptop to review the code completed thus far? If so what other software would I need besides MSQLserver 2012 on my local laptop. I'm able to use MSSQL server 2012 on my local laptop, but the DBs are on servers.

I recently installed VB6.0 Enterprise on my system. As a part of the installation is the option to install SQL Server 6.5 Development. I elected to install SQL. The install went without any glitches. Upon going into SQL Enterprise Manager, I was asked to register the server where SQL was running. My understanding was that SQL would allow me to register the name of my host system. (This is a stand alone system with VB6.0 and Sql development 6.5 installed - no network attached). SQL will not allow me to register my server's name as the host server. It says that if cannot connect to the named server. SQLSERVER and SQL EXEC services appear to be running without any problems. Anyone have any idea where I should start or what could be disallowing my connection/registeration of my server. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... Thanks... Tom
Developers wanting to access sql server developer edition on XP workstation in small office network (workgroup) will have problems using windows authentication (trusted connection) if the XP "server" machine has "simple file sharing" enabled.
Simple file sharing in XP can be disabled in control panel - folder options.
For this sneak mode to work accounts with the same user and password should exist on both "client" and "server".
Server Error in '/QuickStartv20/aspnet/samples/data' Application.
This is the error i am getting when i was going through the asp .net quickstart tutorials to learn using the databases. I have installed sql server 2005 on windows xp along with asp .net framework 2.0 on my system. i am student, so i dont how to configure a database. i went through a lot of tutorials of microsoft and macromedia but was unable to get the information requirred to create and access the database on asp .net and sql servers. they assumed that all know how to configure the database to work with the dynamic pages.

this was another line from the error page.i need help in configuring the sql (and asp .net) server to use the database. i have been getting a lot these error pages when i tried to open (local)database related pages on my system.
i am very much thankful to any help given in this regard.
here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?
I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work. 1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company. 2.Move the database to the server. 3.Setup the users permissions. 3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?
Hi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.
I have a application which uses the automatic asp.net membership stuff to make it work. (In app_data). It works fine on local host, but when I use it on the web server I get the error message (after clicking the log in button):An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Please help me fix this. Thank you for your help,Sam
I am interesting in knowing how to connect to database files that are not kept local to the SQL server? If you have any familiarity w/ this, can you please help me out w/ some information.
First of all let me explain that I am a complete newbie to this SQL stuff. I am in the process of reading a book, and followed the books suggestions for what I want to do, but it doesn't work. I know this has been covered several times in this forum, but no one post in particular covered exactly what I want to do.
I want to copy the database from the server to my local machine.
First, do I need to have SQL running on my machine in order to copy the database? I do have Enterprise Manager running, does that mean SQL Server is running locally?
Secoond, I tried using the Copy Wizard, but when I get to the target list, my local machine is not listed. How do I get it listed so I can copy the database?
I hope my questions are not too stupid... but then I'd be stupid if I didn't ask questions.
