Please forgive my ignorance, I am by no means a SQL Expert, but have encountered a strange issue.
I have 6 SQL Servers, Primarily SQL 2005 (one older SQL 2000) all loaded on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
We use the servers for a proprietary database that we created which is the backend to a software package we sell.
The issue I have is: We have added a Security account to the servers, and in one case we have granted rights for this account to the TempDB system database. However, whenever we restart this server SQL drops this user account, thus severing connectivity for the app that is relying on that account.
I have set the account as DB-Owner etc, but nothing sems to keep it on re-start.
If the only way to truncate the tempdb fully is to stop SQLServer, how often should this be done? OK I know it depends on your system and the amount of up time, but...
Is there a better way of truncating the tempdb, without stopping SQLServer?
hello i make user(name was my_user) in sql2000 and also 2005 and access it in two datebase (mydb and tempdb) as db_owner after i restart my computer in tempdb access will just public and not db_owner and i cant create temp tables what should i do?
(i think make grant user and deny access may help but it dosent seems good)
When i restart my database server, guest login is getting deleted automatically from tempdb. it shudn't happen. please can anyone suggest me solution for my problem.
I'm developing a client-server application using Visual Basic and SQL Server 6.5 for 700 users. The application currently requires users to login to the database using their network account (via trusted connections). Each of the users takes up a maximum of 6 connections. Unfortunately, other considerations will force us to discard use of trusted connections. So it only leaves us either to create 700 user accounts on SQL Server separately from their network logins or to create one SQL Server account and everybody uses that same account to login to the database. For political reasons, the customer would prefer not to ask their support group to maintain 700 user accounts on SQL Server if it can be avoided.
My question: is there any technical limitation or other negative consequence of having 700 users login to the same account to SQL Server if SQL Server can handle that many connections (it would be 6*700 = 4200 connections) simultaneously? Are we supposed to do things like this? It seems that we don’t have better choice than this.

Who needs to invoke the jobs in SQL05? Manually executing the job import_myteam as a user with dbo privileges fails. So, which user account should be assigned to successfully run scheduled jobs (ie, dbo)?
The package file for the job in question is located in the server€™s C:Documents and SettingsuserxyzMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsIntegration Services Project3Integration Services Project3MyTeam (1).dtsx, but this still fails when the user userxyz is logged on and is executing the job directly from the server console.
Step1 of the package executes as userxyz Step 2 fails and runs as cpmc-casql02
The user account userxyz has administrator rights to the server as well as being a sysadmin of the SQL2005 database (named cpcasql02).
The account cpmc-casql02 is a €œpublic€? user of the database and is a member of the administrator group on the server itself.
This same scenario carries for tasks as simple as truncating a table and importing the contents of another table in the same database.
All of these jobs exhibit the same behavior whether run directly from the server console on remotely from a workstation connected to the SQL2005 database.
Attempting to get a really simple job working, we also created a very simple SSIS package which does a select from a database table and writes the output to a text file. When running the same package from the user€™s workstation within Visual Studio, the package executes successfully. Once copied to the server, and run from within SQLServer as MyJunePackage however, the execution fails in the same manner as described above. The first step executes successfully as the logged-in user and the second fails executed under the account cpmc-casql02.
So, again we have the same behavior of sequential steps being run as different users with unsatisfactory results. Please advise as to how to set up these jobs to run correctly and consistently.
The account i setup to access the db in Sql 2005 Proper on the Production serve is Represented by the name in the above example as “aspuser�. I created this user in security, logins. And I gave permissions to this on the Db level “create procedure delete, select, update insert.�
I get a error when i run the page in the browser that says “login failed for aspuser.�
I know virtual directory is configured properly. I can run aspx page in the directory with out a db connection, without and error.
I would like to write code to delete and add a SQL Login to every User database on my development server. Whenever I restore databases to dev using production backups the SQl Server logins are invalid and I need to delete them from the user database and add them again.
I've already hard-coded a sql server job with n steps... a step for each user database to drop and add this sql user to each database. This isn't optimal since I have to add or delete a step everytime a user database is added or deleted.
Does anyone know how to write a loop or cursor that does this dynamically? I am doing something syntactically wrong related to the GO statement.
declare @db varchar(100)
declare @message varchar(3000)
DECLARE user_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT top 1 name
FROM master.sys.databases
where name not in
('master','tempdb','model','msdb')
OPEN user_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM user_cursor INTO @db
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT @message = 'use '+@db + '
GO'
+'DROP USER [SQLLogin.DataEntry]
CREATE USER [SQLLogin.DataEntry] FOR LOGIN [SQLLogin.DataEntry]
I've recently installed SQL-Server 2005 on our production server (win server r2, .net framework 2.0, 3.0 etc ..). In order to improve the security mechanism I'm allowing only windows authentication (not mixed mode).
If each site and the sql-process is given a specific user account, could it have some bad performance issues ? Security-wise, which is better ?
Few things to point out: 1. The SQL process was assigned with a local user account (i.e : [machine name]SqlServerUser) and not using NT AUTHORITYNETWORK_SERVICE. 2. Every ASP.Net site on the server assigned with a local account (i.e : [machine name]SomeSiteUser) through the IIS's Directory Security tab and not using IUSR_[machine name]. 3. Each "Site User" has the appropriate database authorization in sql. Any given help will be appreciated, thanks.
I am supporting a system that needs to allow users to have access to TempDB.
I set these users up using the GUI, but whenever the server is restarted, these users permissions are wiped out and the db_owner permission is lost and I have to manually go in and apply the permissons for the database to work again, it happens on most reboots but not all.
Is there anyway to keep these users permissions when the server is rebooted?
Your help is most appriciated.
P.S Could I create a stored procedure that when ever the Server is rebooted the procedure would recreate these permissions?
If I need to do this how would I go about doing this?
Hi, I keep getting a connection failed error message... CANNOT the DATABASE " " requested by the Login. The Login failed for User 'NT Authority/ Network Service' error and I figure I should create an account for the site to access the Database with but I do not know how to create an account in SQL server using the Management studio?? Anyone willing to give me the exact information I need to do this so I do not do something else and ruin things please??? I am not much of an SQL DBA. thanks in Advance.
I receive an error message in event log when i try to connect to the Database Server using ODBC on a client machine. The database server is running on Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition and the client machine is Windows XP Professional. Following is the error message from the event log:
2147467259 - [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out. The system administrator can unlock it.
What causes the error to occur and how to resolve it?Appreciate for your assistence.
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express edition instance set up on one server, and IIS on another server.
The SQL Server process account is a domain user account, which I have added to the local groups that SQL Server created during installation (I originally used a local user account instead of domain account; however, the problem occurs with both).
SQL Server runs fine, and if I set my IIS application pool identity to a domain admin, my web app can access the database and retrieve the data necessary.
However, I have a domain user account that I want to use to run the app pool and retrieve the data. The domain user account is added to the IIS_WPG group on the web server. On the database server, I have created a login for the account, as well as added it to the db_datareader role of the database that is used for the site.
However, the user is not able to connect to the SQL Server. I get the "Login failed for user <user account>" error in ASP.NET. I also tried connecting with SQL Server Management Studio, and I get the same error. I checked and the user has connect permission to the database server.
With admin accounts, there are no problems logging in, etc.
Any pointers are appreciated,
Thanks,
SA.
Edit: I was able to find out that the State is 11 for the error. According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx, this indicates "Valid login but server access failure." I am not sure how to resolve this.
some times i need to take db in single user mode , which can be done using following
ALTER DATABASE xyz SETÂ SINGLE_USER WITH NO_WAIT
this has other options but each one has some problems like if any single window is open at any location etc etc.
Q1)so the need is i want to honor running transaction from msss or any application then i want db to get into single mode so that i can perform my task.
Q2) some times i need to restart db as it becomes slow , i am trying to find the reason primarily i have seen it is memory.so i want to restart my db honoring all requests.
Does anyone have a good strategy or technique for preventing database drops in SQL Server 2000? I know in 2005 DDL triggers rock, but in 2000 what can you do to audit who drops a database why keeping the same permissions intact.
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?
I have used DTS in SQL Server 2000 to import an MDB filed (MS ACCESS) of a table. When the table is imported the primary key is lost and the memo field data is completely gone.
I use the tranformation option in the DTS wizard to add the primary key and make sure the data type for the memo field is varchar and has a size of 8000. I need that large size since I am storing lots of html code.
When I preview the data I see the html code that is supposed to get imported. However, when I return all rows from the table in Enterprise Manager the field is empty.
So I tried to manually copy the data from the MS Access Database into SQL Server. Could not figure out if SQL Server has an interface like MS Access to simply copy data into a table. So I linked to the tables from MS Access to the SQL Server table.
When I opened the linked table I see the data in the description field. However, if I return the rows from within SQL Server no data is present.
I have some ASP code trying to read the data in the SQL Server table. However, nothing is returned and when I run the SQL Statement, nothing gets returned. The SQL statement returns all rows. All the other data is present but nothing in the description field.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions anyone, please!
We are using BCP in a Process task. The value for the path to BCP's error log requires double quotes around it. We initially put this value in a configuration file, and that worked fine. Yesterday, we eliminated the config file and tried to use the "Set Values" tab of the SSIS SQL Server Agent job to pass in this value.
The package variable was assigned the value of the path -- all except for the leading double quote. The closing quotation mark was included in the value.
We tried adding a second double quote at the beginning of the value, but that caused the job to fail immediately.
For now we will work around this problem by putting the quotes around the value in a Script task inside the package.
I'm using RDA from my Windows Mobile. On my developer computer I've set up anonymous authentication against my IIS. Now I want to set it up for real. What access should the RdaUser account have that I use in IIS to be able to work correct against the Sql Server 2005? Is User group preveliges ok? In Sql Server 2005 do I need to add the RdaUser to Server Logins and map against my database?
Hi all, I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service. What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?) What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Hi all,I would like to know how I can retrieve the user ID and password from the DB if I have created a new user account using SQL server 2000? I want to create a login page in .aspx page but I am not sure how I can pull out the login info from the DB and then compare with the uesr input? Is that any specific table store the user ID and password by default?I would be very appreciated for any code example in both conditions (window authentication and SQL server authentication). Thanks.
I want to do bidirectional transactional replication on two seperate servers. I have successfully achieved the same on single machine with 2 seperate databases. For seperate servers which user account should I use.
My original account on the AD (Active Directory) was Usr129 and at that time I had installed MSDE on my local box - due to which my "local MSSQLServer" was also called Usr129.
Sometime back our LAN administrator renamed the accounts of all users. My new account on the AD (after this renaming) became GBUsr1177. Untill recently, my "local MSSQLServer" also appeared to have easily go through this renaming activity and thus my local installation became GBUsr1177.
Recently I started to have performance problem (on everything that I do on my local SQL installation via Enterprise manager) and I have this "feeling" that probably at the bacground it is still searching for the old SQL installation???
Can someone please guide me regarding how to get out of this (without re-installating everything).
New to SQL Server. Plan to install SQL Server 2005 standard edition on Windows 2k3. After searched a lot of places, still don't understand what exactly "domain user account" is. Could someone explain it to me? 1. Is this a OS account where SQL Server is running? 2. Or, is this an account under domain controller on other machine? Is this an account on DNS srver? How do I create it? 3. Or, is this an account in SQL Server?
Where is this account located? How do I manage it?
ung txtConPass ko is ung Confirmation input textbox ung txtNewPass ko is ung New Password input textbox ung oldPass ko is ung Old Password existing ung highlighted texts ko, dat is not working. That is my problem. I need to check if the old password that he typed is existing. When it is existing, then update the db. But if not, do not update. The problem is, even if the password that he typed does not correspond to the user that he is editing, still the data is being updated. Please help me fix it. Maybe I have to use other codes. Tnx!

i usually use the windows authentication mode when accessing my sql server but now that i need to use the SA account i can't seem to remember the password. is there any way that i could just reset the password for the SA account?
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 have few tables, which are replicated and partitioned. They also have archival process. I want to avoid having to run that same process on the subscriber.
Replication of partition switching is easy. However I am not sure how to replicate merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
There the following article options:
Copy file group associations Copy table partitioning schemes Copy index partitioning schemes
I am not sure if these are enough to implement the replication of merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
I could not find and option to copy partition functions.
I have a user account that needs CREATE TABLE permission in tempdb. I know how to do this using the GUI (Enterprise Manager).
The problem is that this reverts whenever the DB server is restarted. I need to figure out how to keep it from reverting, or it needs to be set in some sort of startup script.
whats the simplest way to migrate a user account from a master development SQL server to local development sql servers and also to a production server?
we can recreate the SQL account everywhere, but if we take a backup from one machine and restore to another, we loose access because the accounts arent truly the same account.
