Sql Server Licensing For Internet
Apr 9, 2001
I am so confused and I am getting no help from the Microsoft, two months and only stammering
from their representatives. I need to set up a Sql Server database that will allow internet access.
This is not an e-commerce situation. At most there will
be 10 known users of this system accessing statistical data. I had priced this system to use Backoffice,
but as I now read this is not legal for internet use. It also appears that a processor license is required for
internet access (not entirely clear on this). Access and MSDE also don't appear to be legal for internet access.
The customer is on a shoe string budget. If I use stand-alone
components the budget only covers an one processor SQL Server 2000 license. I don't like the idea of setting up
a database system with only one processor. Is there another Sql Server based option I am not aware of?
Its looking like a linux/mysql option - Yikes!

Hi,
I'm reasonably new to MS SQL server, I've mostly been setting up databases and creating ASP Pages to look at them with.
However recently I've been given a fun job and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
The problem is we have 2 servers located on different sites, one is actually doing stuff the other just monitors some equipment and when status chages on the equipment a report is made to a table. The software doing this is bespoke and it would cost a fortune to have changed, what we want to do is have the monitoring server send a copy of the inserted row as they get inserted.
I've tried linking the servers via ODBC (in the linked servers part) but when a trigger i've put on the insert table fires it throws up an error about ANSI NULLS and WARNINGS and nothing happens.
After a look round on the internet I've found reference to using the 'set ANSI_NULLS' on command but this seems to be for stored procedures, even then when i try to execute the stored procedure as they show it still comes back with this error.
Can anyone suggest any other ways of copying the inserted row across?
Both servers are MS SQL but are not on a LAN so I have to refere to them as IP addresses.
Cheers,
Iain

I know it is possible to establish a connection to an SQL Server overthe Internet via Enterprise Manager. My question is, how secure is thisconnection? Is there a best practices document for this type ofconnection?Here is my scenario:We are looking to outsource our web hosting. Currently, we uploadclient sensitive data to our SQL Server databases within our internalnetwork. If we outsource, the SQL server will be on a differentnetwork. We are behind a firewall here and the dedicated hosted SQLServer will also be behind a firewall. Is the Enterprise Managerconnection succeptable to hackers? If so any reccomendations on how toaccomplish this would be appreciated.Another scenario is connecting to the SQL Server through a DSN. Canthis be accomplished from inside our network to outsourced server? Howsecure would that connection be?Thanks in Advance.

Hi there
We have the following problem. Our DB (MSDE 2000) is situated on remote server on which we
have
administrator privilege. The application which works on Local net connect to every machine in
the
net and see the database on one of the mashine as well.
The connection string is
data source=192.168.0.1XXXX;initial catalog=XXXX;integrated security=SSPI;persist security
info=True;workstation id=XXXX;packet size=4096"
but when we change IP in the connection string to our remote server(in internet with static IP) one we get
an exception says that
SQL server does not exist or access denied.
We opened ports on firewall but problem is still here. Then swithched off the firewall at all
but
same exception comes.
Thanks for answers

I have an Access 2003 application that works well in a LAN environment with a Jet based back end. However, I would like to move this back end to a SQL Server database hosted on a website so that my users could run the application from any Internet-connected PC, using a modified version of my Access front end.
Is this a perfectly normal way of using SQL Server? Is response time likely to be an issue or can careful design make performance similar to that with a LAN based back end?

If SQL Server 2000 is loaded onto a 8 processor machine, can I legitimately
load Standard Edition, which will only use 4 of the 8 processors, or as
some interpretations of the license suggest, must I purchase Enterprise
Edition (i.e. you are not permitted to load SQL Server on a machine which
has more processors than the Product is capable of using) ?.
I know the "reasonable" answer, but what is the legal position ?

Hi,
My company is embarking on a data warehousing project. We are going to purchase a Windows 2003 server. It would be a dual processor. The specs are not certain yet so cannot give more details on that.
1. The data in the warehouse would be close to 150 GB.
2. There will be maximum of 10 users needs a SQL Server license.
3. Do not need analysis services.
What edition do I go with -Enterprise OR Standara? I want the least priced edition. I looked up the various links on Books Online but I am still not able to decide.
Say I need only 2 GB of RAM. Then here are my questions.
1. Since we are going with a dual-processor, do I need to purchase processor license for each of the two? Why can't I have one license on one processor only? What are the implications of this?
2. The 10 users that I am talking about will be remotely connecting to this Windows 2003 server and accessing the databae.
3. What exactly is Failover clustering? Do I really need it for my warehousing project?
4. Please help me pick the correct license. Here is the link -

I have a Windows 2000 Operating System with 4 processor, out of which I'm planning to use only one Processor for the SQL Server and leave the rest of the three processor for the OS.
My question is that do I need to buy the license for all the 4 processors or I can do with the only 1 that will be used for running the SQL?

Sql server agent is running under a domain account that is a member of administrators and domain users amongst others, and the package is executed as the service account. Connecting to servers on the same domain works and when I run it from the msdb package store in ssis (ssis runs under the network service account ...) it will connect to the pop server as well. Permissions, fiddly proxies .. the answer's out there somewhere

Hi,
I'm currently writing a desktop application that communicates directly with a SQL server database on the local network. Ideally we'd like to connect directly to the database via the Internet.
- connecting via the Internet is important because we want easy access from anywhere.
- directly is important because fast data transfer is a requirement.
Not knowing much about the security implications of such a connection, I thought I'd ask here. So what are the major risks and objections? Can the connection and data be made secure?
Cheers, Gavin

Hello,
Sorry for posting this here, I couldn't find an accurate forum name to post this in.
We are using Windows SBS Server 2003 with SQL Server installed. We have a static IP. I am wondering if we can host our database. I am specifically interested in having outside websites access our database. Is there anything special I need to do to make this happen? I am pretty clueless about this.
Thanks!

We're trying to determine the best way to implement an authentication mechanism for our reporting services solution. Basically, we are exposing a web application to the internet, and allowing a forms authenticated user to access our report server somewhere within our intranet to view reports. I've browsed msdn and found that there are two approaches:
1. create a custom authentication extension for reporting services
2. create a restricted domain user that is allowed to access the report server
Going with approach 2 and assuming I'm using a ReportViewer control, in order to authenticate with the report server (using the one domain user created specifically for report server access), are we supposed to just provide an instance of an object implementing IReportServerCredential containing the domain user information to the Credentials property of the ReportViewer.ServerReport before accessing the report? Is this the correct way to implement approach 2? Also, if implementing approach 2 is so simple compared to approach 1, why would anyone choose to implement custom authentication extension if they don't need fine-grain access control on the report server level?
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Couple of questions for the SQL Server Guru's out there.
SQLServer 2005
Web Hosting Provider
Ok I am developing a Web application in ASP.NET with AJAX, etc. etc. It will be some time before it is ready to roll out. As a mockup I created the same application in Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (VS 2008), which I can link the tables to the hosting provider on the internet. Works very well and speed is very acceptable. The want to start utilizing it with the mockup distributed app that I created.
My question is, is how secure is the data that is moving from the local application to SQLServer 2005 with the web hosting provider ? Is there anything that I can do to increase security ?
Thanks, any thoughts ?
Appreciate any suggestions or comments.

For example, I set up a Microsoft SQL Server in one of computers of my company, and every computer in my company has its own IP .They are in the same workgroup. Now, there is no problem with database access with another computer in my company.
Can anyone tell my how to access it through a computer out of my company?

I cannot seem to find the definitive how-to guide for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have SQL Server 2005 (x64) already running on Windows 2003 R2 (x64). I'm having difficulty trying to expose it the Internet.
Using the Surface Area Configuration tool I can see that remote connections using TCP/IP is enabled. I also made the machine administrator a member of the SysAdmin role from here too.
In Windows Firewall "SQL Server" and "Web" are already checked as exceptions.
I know that SQL Server uses port 1433 and I also read somewhere that clients connecting to SQL Server communicate on a random port between 1024 and 5000. So, on my router (Netgear WNR854T) I'm forwarding ports 1024 through 5000 to the machine where SQL Server lives.
In my connection string I'm using the IP address of the SQL Server machine with ":1433" appended to the address. Yet I cannot connect to SQL Server. Am I missing anything?

Hi,
I am migrating from MySQL 5 to SQL Server Express 2005 (SP1) and I am having some remote connections issues. I have tried just about everything that I have read in the forums and in Microsoft's knowledge base about remote connections with SQL Server. I am using Visual FoxPro 9 as my client and connecting with ODBC to SQL Server. The strange thing about my issue is that I can connect just fine with localhost or using my LAN IP address. Before I get to the errors, here is what I have configured:
Remote connections are allowed, TCP is active, SQL Browser service is active and running, my router forwards requests on ports 4567 (my custom port that I setup IP1 in SQL Server Configuration Manager to listen on), 1433 and 1434 (TCP and UDP for all) to my local IP address. My firewall will not block ports 4567, 1433 or 1434 (TCP and UDP for all). I even tried turning my firewall off.
For example, the following connection strings work. The first works when I am at the same computer as my SQL Server, the second works from a different computer on the same LAN.
Driver=SQL Native Client;Server=localhostsqlexpress;Database=xyz;Uid=adm;Pwd=pw
Driver=SQL Native Client;Server=192.168.1.3sqlexpress;Database=xyz;Uid=adm;Pwd=pw
When I try the following connection strings (with either my hostname or internet IP address, I get one of several failures):
Driver=SQL Native Client;Server=my.domain.comsqlexpress;Database=xyz;Uid=adm;Pwd=pw
The above strings yields this error message: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]
Driver=SQL Native Client;Server=my.domain.comsqlexpress,1433;Database=xyz;Uid=adm;Pwd=pw
Driver=SQL Native Client;Server=my.domain.comsqlexpress,4567;Database=xyz;Uid=adm;Pwd=pw
Using either the SQL default port or a custom port yields this error message: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired Connectivity error: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
The fact that I can connect with my LAN and not on the internet suggests that my ISP may be blocking port 1433. For this reason I tried to change the port my SQL Server instance was listening on but I have a feeling it isn't working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been stuck on this problem. Is there any way to test if my SQL server instance is actually listening on my custom defined port? Thanks in advance.
-Tom
