Starnge Behaviour With Encrypt Sensitive With User Key ???

May 28, 2008

Hi There

We had a simple setup.

All packages were encrypted with a user key, since everyone logged in and developed with the same user.
DOMAINi.user. Who was a local admin on the servers. The Sql Agent also ran under this account. So everything worked 100%.

We have had a security overhaul, each user now has hisher own login. So when DOMAINi.UserA now saves a package it fails when the Sql Agent runs it. Obviously becuase the agent does not run under DOMAINi.UserA , this is fine we created proxies etc.

BUT i only recently noticed that they also changed all the Sql services including the agent to run under a new account. DOMAINserviceAdmin. But all our jobs and packges ran fine after this.

I dont get it ? All the existing packges were encrypted with the DOMAINi.user login , which the agent ran under, so why when the agent account was changed do all these packages not fail with the usual failed to decrypt error ?

Basically i dont understand how packages encrypted under one user can now be executed by the Sql gent running under a different account ??

Thanx

Question About Encrypt Sensitive With User Key

Jan 17, 2008

Hi,

If you use "encrypt sensitive with user key" with windows user "Fred" and the "Fred" windows user is subsequently deleted from the server, can you then change the encryption level by using another person's login? Or is the package forever gone?

Thanks

SQL Server Agent Job Will Not Retain Package Password (encrypt Sensitive With Password)

Apr 1, 2008

I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.

I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.

This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..

The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E

and I get

SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF

although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.

Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?

Thank you

DTS Package Behaviour When Used By &> 1 User?

Apr 20, 2004

Hi all

I have a DTS package that users of the database can run which basically acts like a 'live update' (as the database is based on a values produced from another system) and it takes roughly 30 or so seconds to run...

The dts package is not going to have a particularly large hit rate but i am interested in knowing what will happen if a user (user 1) attempts to run the package when it is in already in use by another user (user 2) ?

Will User 1 simply have to wait untill the package completes for User 1?

OR

Will a new seperate 'instance' of the package be used by User 1?

Any info would be very helpful

Cheers

DTS Global Variables Behaviour With &> 1 User

Jun 22, 2004

Hi all

I have a DTS package that users of the database can run which basically acts like a 'live update' (as the database is based on a values produced from another system) and it takes roughly 30 or so seconds to run...

The dts package is not going to have a particularly large hit rate but i am interested in knowing what will happen if a user (user 1) attempts to run the package when it is in already in use by another user (user 2) ?

The dts package is from a sp using the dtsrun utility (passes in global variables).

I know that a second DTS will start before the first has finished but what i am not sure about is what will happen to the Global Variables when the second DTS package starts - i.e. will starting a second instance of the package with different variables have an effect on the first DTS's global variables while it is running?

I hope the answer is "No Tom, it work fine!"

Why Are CLR User-defined-types Case-sensitive?

Aug 24, 2006

Hi,

I'm wondering, why CLR user-defined-types are case-sensitive in T-SQL?

When I create an udt with vb.net, e.g. udtPoint with properties X and Y and a method ToString(), I have to write udtPoint.X ..., udtPoint.x would raise an error. udtPoint.tostring() isn't working, too.

I like vb, because you don't have to remember whether syntax is upper or lower case. Same is with T-SQL, there's no difference between select * from table and Select * FROM Table. Intellisense would by great, but is not yet implemented .

I'd like to put this topic under suggestions (in my opinon it's a bug), what do you think about it?

Many thanks for your answers!

Package With File System Task Doesn't Work Without Sensitive Data With User Keys

Dec 14, 2006

This problem is a bit weird but I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced this.

I have a package that has file system tasks (copying dtsx files actually). Basically the package copies other packages to a pre-defined destination. Thing is, it only works if one of the packages it is configured to copy has some sort of sensitive data (e.g., a connectionstring with a password), otherwise it reports a success message on execution but doesn't actually do anything. I've checked the forcedexecutionresult and it is set to None for that matter.

Just wondering if anybody else experienced this problem and of course if there's a way to solve it.

Thanks.

Strange Behaviour

Oct 3, 2006

This is the actual statement displayed from Response.Write in classic ASP. INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '06-012497',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'2006-Oct-3',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum = '000002' There are 4 records returned from the SELECT part of the statement. In some situations, 4 records are inserted to WOTasks table, in others, only 1 record is inserted. I can't find out why 1 record, instead of 4, record is inserted. A form page submits the form to the save page using post method. The above statement is contained in the save page. When one of the form textbox is filled, 1 record is inserted. When the textbox is not filled, 4 records are inserted. You may think the textbox has something to do with the behaviour. I also think so but the content of the textbox does not affect the sql statement. In both cases, the insert statement is the same. In the actual codes, only strings in quotes are variables and the rest are hardcoded. When I run the statement in SQL Server, 4 records are affected. No such problem when connected with Access.The actual code belowSub AddTask(ByVal proc, ByVal wonum)   Dim sSQL   sSQL = "INSERT INTO WOTasks (WoNum,TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,ModifyDate,Estimate,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost) SELECT '" & wonum & _          "',TaskNum,TaskDesc,TaskMemo,Account,'" & curDate & "',1,TaskHours,Unit,UnitCost,TotalCost FROM Tasks WHERE procnum='" & proc & "'" 'Response.Write sSQL:Response.End   conn.Execute sSQL, , 128 End Sub

Odd Order By Behaviour

Feb 24, 2004

Might be out to lunch, but I can't figure why this is being ordered the way it is:

SELECT '1' as t
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A' as t
union all
SELECT '['as t
ORDER BY t

I'd expect it to be 1, A, [ but instead it's [, 1, A [ is ascii 91 which is greater than both 1 and A, so why does it come first?

Weird Behaviour On Net Use

Jul 5, 2004

When I run the command:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'NET USE'
from the analyzer the box responds there are no entries in the list.

After that, I run the command:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'NET USE Z: /DELETE'
after which the box responds with a "network connection could not be found."
and that's all okay.

The weird thing is:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'NET USE Z: \MACHINESHARENAME'
results in a "The local device name is already in use.".

The machine in this particular case is the box itself. I have no problem accessing other disks on other systems. I can see the share using the view command. There's no maximum on the share itself and I can connect to the share using another sql box with the same user.

I don't know why it won't budge, worked before like a charm. After six months or so it just stopped. Anyone seen/solved this behaviour?

thanx,

Query Behaviour

Dec 2, 2005

Hi there,
I wonder if one of you worthy folks can help me out with some strange behaviour exhibited by a piece of SQL. Its my first post here , so please be gentle. :)

Here is my simple example :-

<my test table>

create table test
(ind int,
message varchar(255))

insert into test (ind, message) values
(1,'date=01/06/2006')

insert into test (ind, message) values
(1,'date=20/12/2005')
insert into test (ind, message) values
(2,'test')

The first query is

select * from test t1
where t1.ind in (select max(ind) from test t2
where t2.ind = t1.ind
and t2.message like 'date=%' )

fine.... 2 rows

second query

select * from test t1
where t1.ind =1
and convert(datetime, (SUBSTRING(Message, CHARINDEX('=',Message,0)+1, 10)),103) > getdate()

fine same 2 rows...

but If I try to combine the 2 clauses in


select * from test t1
where t1.ind in (select max(ind) from test t2
where t2.ind = t1.ind
and t2.message like 'date=%' )
and convert(datetime, (SUBSTRING(Message, CHARINDEX('=',Message,0)+1, 10)),103) > getdate()


I get a
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Please can anyone help me on this?

thanks

Sp_getapplock Behaviour After SP2

Mar 23, 2007

We have an application that executes a few queries against an SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) database. Since there can be several instances of the application running at any given time, and parts of the logic must be serialized, we've been using sp_getapplock and sp_releaseapplock. This has all been working fine since RC1 on which the system was released. However, after installing SP2 about a week ago, we have been having problems. The serialized portion of the code almost always stall now.

To see what is happening we've been using both Management Studio and Profiler. We have two applications running, let's call them A and B. Both create a prepared statement which begin with a call to sp_getapplock and ends with sp_releaseapplock. In between some tables are queried and inserts may be made in others. The accessed tables are never used anywhere else but in the serialized code. This is what is happening:

Application A: Calls sp_getapplock.
Application A: Queries a table.
Application B: Calls sp_getapplock.
Application A: Inserts a row in a table.
Application A: Calls sp_releaseapplock.
Application B: Waits indefinitely (or at least more than 4 hours, after which we killed the spid).

Profiler cannot detect any deadlocks when this is happening. There are no blocking operations according to Management Studio. I can see the application lock having been set when I look at the spid for Application B in Management Studio.

Since this started to occur frequently after installing SP2 and had not been seen before, we are wondering if any changes has been made that could cause this behaviour? Has anyone else had problems using application locks, where a query would stall indefinitely waiting for the lock to be released? How then did you resolve it?

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome,
Thanks,
Lars

DBDate - Different Behaviour

Nov 20, 2007

When I run the package from business solution environment, DBdate cast converts my date column (correctly) into a European date format dd/mm/yyyy and as such is inserted into sql server table.

When I run a package as a job, the same date in inserted into the database as mm/dd/yyyy.

So, if I have 3rd January 2007 in the source, in the first case i'll find 03/01/2007 in the database.
When I run the package as a job, I find 01/03/2007 in the db.

The problem comes when I run different select statements - the 01/03/2007 behaves as if 1st March 2007

How can I avoid inserting of American data format into the db?

SetRange Behaviour

Jan 22, 2008

I'm trying to use SetRange method on a table with multi-columns index, but I didn't get the result I was hoping for from the query.

Here is the DDL for the table






Code Block

CREATE TABLE [Products] (
[ProductId] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL ,
[ArrivalDate] DATETIME ,
[Name] NVARCHAR(100) ,
[CategoryId] INT,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Products] PRIMARY KEY
(
[ProductId]
)
)
;
CREATE INDEX IDX_ProductArrival
ON [Products]
([ArrivalDate], [Name], [CategoryId])
;


--insert some sample data


Insert into [Products] ([ArrivalDate], name, categoryid) values ('2008-1-22 13:00:00', 'PC 1', 1);
Insert into [Products] ([ArrivalDate], name, categoryid) values ('2008-1-22 13:00:00', 'PC 2', 2);
Insert into [Products] ([ArrivalDate], name, categoryid) values ('2008-1-22 13:00:00', 'PC 3', 3);


And here is the code I'm using




Code Block

using System;
using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
using System.Data;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection(@"data source=d:mydb.sdf"))
{
conn.Open();

int counter = 0;
using (SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand("products", conn))
{

cmd.CommandType = CommandType.TableDirect;
cmd.IndexName = "IDX_ProductArrival";

object[] start = new object[3];
object[] end = new object[3];

start[0] = new DateTime(2008, 1, 22, 0, 0, 0);
start[1] = "PC 2";
start[2] = 2;

end[0] = new DateTime(2008, 1, 22, 23, 59, 59);
end[1] = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz";
end[2] = 3;

cmd.SetRange(
DbRangeOptions.InclusiveStart | DbRangeOptions.InclusiveEnd,
start, end);

using (SqlCeDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
counter++;
}
}
}

conn.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Row count {0}", counter); //should show row count 2 but shows row count 3 instead
}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
I'm setting the starting range to a date and a product name (PC 2) but it seems that the datareader only see the first array member and completely ignore the product name and show all 3 data instead of 2.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

SQL Express' Strange Behaviour

Oct 25, 2007

We have this webiste which uses SQL express as database engine. Sometimes certain features of the website stop working. Like membership provider and other database related things. I have described the problem in more details here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1172253.aspx
In consice the problem is: One query with fixed inputs does not always return the same results, though the data has not changed, you restart the SQL express and the problem resolives!
I think thats a problem with SQL express, because when you restart SQL express everything starts working. Our database is kinda big. Like above 500 MB with up to 50 concurrent users. And our machine got a 3.2 CPU with 512 MB of ram. And our application is the only application runing there.
What do you think please?

Strange Query Behaviour

Aug 12, 2000

Hi...

Not sure what's wrong with the query or table, but I just can't get the result I want.

The column is varchar(35) and contains toll free no, like 18001234567...

But when I queried using the query below, I can't get any results. Same if I use 1*, 18*, 180*...

SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE CONTAINS(toll_no, '"1800*"')

However, if I used 18001* I do get results.
Can anybody show me how to get result for these cases?

Thanks.

Strange Shceduled Job Behaviour

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_FuturesOut'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'FuturesOut'. [SQLSTATE 23000] (Error 2627) The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 3621). The step failed.

The strange thing about this is, if I copy the SQL statement from the job and paste it into Query Analyzer, it works without any modifications.

If anyone can explain this I would be most grateful.

View Behaviour With Index.

May 12, 2006

Hi

If I have a view:

SELECT A,B
FROM tblTable
WHERE A = 1

And then I have a s-proc using that view:

SELECT *
FROM MyView
WHERE B > 6

My question: If I add an index to tblTable for the column B (not used in the view's WHERE clause, but used in the s-proc), will it have a performance improvement, because of the WHERE B > 6 on the view, assuming that this condition would benefit from the index if it were in the view itself.

I guess I could also put it this way: can an index on a column in a table improve the performance of a condition on a view using that table.

Thanks

Bcp Queryout Strange Behaviour

Aug 3, 2007

I use bcp fairly often in SQLServer2000 but have never run across this before. In a 512 SQLCHAR column containing notes, when two spaces are encountered (i.e. ' '), bcp is replacing ' ' with '
'.

I figured it was a problem with my format file, but I have not found enough specific info on the MSDN site to resolve this.

This is my bcp command:

bcp "SELECT DivCode,CommCode,ContactID,substring(Notes, 0, 512) from frep.dbo.BeBackExtract" queryout "D:BeBackDetail.dat" -f "D:BeBackDetail.fmt" -e "D:BeBackDetailErrors.dat" -U user -P pass -S server

And format file:

8.0
4
1 SQLCHAR 0 2 "" 1 DIVCODE ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 3 "" 2 COMMCODE ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 10 "" 3 CONTACTID ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 512 "
" 4 NOTES ""

Has anyone seen this?

Incidentally I also tried using the REPLACE function which seems to work great until trying to replace 2 spaces with 1 space, in which case it doesn't do anything.

Thanks for any ideas -

Locking Behaviour On JOIN

Jul 23, 2005

Hello all,I have what I hope is a simple question:Does SQL Server have an 'all-or-nothing' locking policy? Or does itacquire as many locks as it can and then sit and wait for the rest?Example:SELECT * FROM TABLE_A INNER JOIN TABLE_BON TABLE_A.dbid = TABLE_B.dbidNormally a SHARED lock would be acquired on both objects (pleasecorrect me if I'm wrong). But let's say TABLE_B was being updated byanother process at the same time, and so we couldn't get the sharedlock. Would the dbms go ahead and acquire the shared lock on TABLE_Aand then wait for the other lock, or would it not acquire any lock atall until locks on both TABLE_A and TABLE_B were available?I ask because I'm investigating a deadlocking problem that's drivingme mad :)Thanks,Tommy.

I'm tryingto join this view with a table, in a very simple query.The problem is that the optimizer is not using the table data as inputfor the view (I expect this because I have arguments for the table,but not for the view), but executing the view in a different step andthen joining to the table by a merge/hash join. This is obviously veryslow.I tried to force nested loops by using hints but it still doesn't usethe table data as input.Has anybody ever seen this?Thanks in advance...

Sql Management Studio Behaviour

Nov 14, 2006

Hi everyone,

I wonder if it's possible keep the connections previously opened in your Sql Management Studio.

I mean, I open it and connecting to sql1,sql2,sql3,etc.. without using queries or something like that and then, close and re-open again. What happens? Neither of them appearing again. If you create a project, of couse...but it's not the same, because when you create a .ssmssln project file is inteded for keep .Sql.

I'm talking about the same behaviour when you ran the old Enterprise Manager inside the Microsoft Management Console and you had the possibility of make groups and whatever.

Weird SSIS Behaviour

Sep 20, 2007



I have 2 exact same sql tasks in different packages. Connection manager is defined for the same database for both. one of the sql task works, and other one throws out this error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "pdsprod.pdsdataread". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.

this is completely mind boggling. I have compared both sql tasks for each and every property and they are exactly the same. what is going on?

by the way I am on 64 bit box with Run64bitruntime= false.

Strange Query Behaviour

Nov 15, 2006

Hi,

I am seeming strange results with a query. I have two tables, lets call them Table1 and Table2. Table1 has an ID field, Table2 does not have an ID field. To be sure I wasn't blind, the query

'SELECT ID FROM Table2'

returns: Invalid column name 'ID'. OK. Now when I run the query

'SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE ID IN (SELECT ID FROM Table2)'

it returns all the records from Table1.

What gives? Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
