What is the way recommended by Microsoft for distributing the MSSQL
database with end-user application if I don't like to use sql-scripts
because I need to hide the stored procedures sources (they are marked as
"encrypted")? Backup/restore? Or something else?

I have several databases that have grown to 300 GB and would like to distribute the data into multiple files across multiple drives. Can I create a new database that is spread across the new drives and use a full backup to restore or am I stuck with unloading the data table by table?

Hi,
I am trying to find something like a light version of SQL Server 2k to store data for an application that will be distributed through a cd.
Since we also have a web front end for this application when the user is online, we prefer that we can reuse the code for connection on both the cd and the web.
Any idea what will work?
I have come accross MSDE 2k but was not able to find any documentation on the pros and cons for this product regarding its capacity, the type of data it can handle, security, ...
Please give me some pointer.
Thanks very much.

I have an ODBC setting on my computer that I need to distribute to numerouse other computers throughout the company. What is the best way to do this? I exported mine and did an import on another computer, it showed up in the HKLM registry key, but did not show up in the ODBC system settings in control panel. Am I missing something? Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
We just bought a server with 2 quad core xeon processors to host a web application with reporting services.
Our reports are quite heavy. I wrote custom data processing extensions for them and some take up to 45 minutes to render.
When a web user runs more than one report at the same time, only one of the eight available cores is processing the request. When two different web users are each running a single report, the same thing happens. It looks like no matter how many reports are running at the same time, only one core chokes.
I would like to be able to execute each report request on a different core. How could a change my data processing extension or my Reporting Services settings to achieve that?
Any help would be appreciated,

I would like to distribute some data in SqlServer Express which only my application can read from.
My question is - is it possible to secure a database so that only a specified user would have read/write permissions. Even the sa acount should not have the permission to read or write to the database although it would retain the right to drop the database.
One option I believe is to encrypt the data but I would prefer not to incur the performance penalty associated with this.
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks
I'm trying to distribute an application but I face a little problem. I
want to install the .net framework and SQL Server Express while my app
installs itself in the host PC. Also I would like to let SQL server
express prepared for remote conections, all of this in a single install
project and totally transparent for the user.
I don't if it can be acomplished using scripts or some other thing, please help...
i've been looking at moving one of our processed from excel (+vba) into t-sql to make life easier but am stuck.
We have lots of tasks that are assigned to work groups which we want to distribute evenly across the work groups. This is a simple task for ntile.. However when these tasks are no longer required they are removed which leaves the groups uneven. When new tasks are added we want to still try to keep these groups balanced.
EG Existing groups :
GroupName - Task Count
Group1 - 1000
Group2 - 999
Group3 - 998
If we were to add 6 new tasks they would have more assigned to Group 2 & 3 as they have less than group 1.
Task 1 - Group3
Task 2 - Group3
Task 3 -Group2
Task 4 - Group1
Task 5 - Group2
Task 6 - Group3
Sample tables
Create table GroupTable
(GroupID int, Name varchar(200) )
Insert into GroupTable values (1,'Group1')
Insert into GroupTable values (2,'Group2')
Insert into GroupTable values (3,'Group3')
Create table Jobs(jobid int identity(1,1), name varchar(100),Groupid int)
--Existing tasks
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task1',1)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task2',1)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task3',1)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task4',1)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task5',2)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task6',2)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task6',2)
Insert into Jobs(name,Groupid) values ('Task7',3)
-- New tasks
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskA')
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskB')
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskC')
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskD')
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskE')
Insert into Jobs(name) values ('TaskF')
This gives us 6 unassigned tasks and a uneven group assignment
GROUPNAME TASK_COUNT
<none> 6
Group1 4
Group2 3
Group3 2
This means the new tasks will be assigned like this
TaskA - Group3
TaskB - Group3
TaskC - Group2
TaskD - Group1
TaskE - Group2
TaskF - Group3

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005.
I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue.
I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....".
Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively.
My connection string is:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I would be grateful if you can help me

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is simple, I'm no DBA but have been tasked with solving this problem...
We have a website that connects via ODBC to SQL Server (2k sp1) and at the moment I am getting back about every other time:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
So this is NOT happening every single time. Now I have seen Microsoft KB - 307864 and I can see that none of the databases are marked as suspect, the database I am trying to connect to does exist and is attached and, I have run the command to switch the database to multi-user mode.
The probable cause of this problem is that a while ago we had a hard-drive failure and I was forced to reattach some old datafiles (mdf,ldf) as the database. This seemed ok and I can view data etc in enterprise manager no problem.
I have checked for orphaned users and the user I am logging in with from the webpage is not listed.
So does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening, and more frustratingly for me, why is it only happening some of the time.
Thanks for your help, appreciated.

I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 (SP1) with default configuration options, which installs the Microsoft##SSEE instance of SQL to my local C: drive.
While attempting to relocate the files to another drive, I set one of the databases (as recommended) to Single User by using the SQL Server Management Express tool.
I cannot now reset that database to Multi User, even by executing the query
exec sp_dboption 'database_name', 'single user', ''FALSE'
again by using the Management Express Tool.
Can someone please help, in plain english???? Thanks
Hello,
We have a new production server with SQLserver 2005.
Our department responsible ofr the installation made it as secure as possible, however.
I have to put a new backup on to the server from the old production server.
We ran into a problem when we removed the old database.
I could not longer logon to the server with an authenticated user.
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but an error occured during the login process"
"Shared memory provider : error 0 : No process is on the other end of the pipe"
Strange thing is when i create a new database with the same name. The user can logon to the server again.
Any idea's ?

i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database.
When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and
push 'Test connection' button.
everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things,
from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore....
it only work when i restart the computer.
why ?
Hi everyone,
I try to add a db_role or a user to all my databases with one script. Although parsing doesn't report any problem I get a Syntax error during execution.
I first select the database names into a #temp table which has two columns, ID and dbname.
After that I use the following code:
DECLARE @Count smallint
declare @dbVarchar(20)
SET @Count = 1
WHILE (@Count <=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM #temp))
BEGIN
Exec ("USE @db")
EXEC sp_adduser 'test'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'my_role', 'testrole'
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
SET @db = (SELECT dbname FROM #temp WHERE ID = @Count)
END
It seems that the "Use @db" part has no value for the variable @db.
Does anybody knows how to solve this?
I inherited a screwed up Database and I have to straighten out the pemissions and owners. There were several tables listed with an owner of DSSADMIN. However when I logged into Query Analyzer as DSSADMIN, I could not query the DSSADMIN owned tables unless I prefaced the table with DSSADMIN as the owner (ex: DSSADMIN.table).
At the recommendation of our Developer we restored the database from tape thinking that this would reset the proper permissions and table owners. After the restore a user called BCUSER had ownership of the previously mentioned tables (that DSSADMIN owned before the restore); however when I open the Users list, BCUSER is not listed as a user.
If I try to add BCUSER to the database I get an error stating that the USER or ROLE BCUSER already exist in this database. There is a role called DSS listed for this Database that BCUSER was listed a member of. I removed BCUSER from the DSS role and yet I still am not able to add BCUSER as a user for this database. (Yet, as I stated earlier BCUSER is now the owner of the tables the DSSADMIN was the owner of before the restore)
BCUSER is a user in the other databases on this SQL Server.
Does anyone out there understand this problem and/ or can suggestion some possible solutions?
Any input is greatly appreciated, Thank you!!!
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database)
Help pleaseee
I'm taking a database(read-only) backup from one server and restoring it on other server. As soon as restore is done it is bringing database into single-user read-only mode.
why it is bringing the database into single user mode ?
While attempting to set up sql replication in MSSQL 2005 one of my user databases is now in the systems database folder. I need to move it back to the user databases folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
View 16 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.
I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).
Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?
Cheers
I want a database user to be able to alter login, database user and database role from my application. so, i assigned that user to sccurityadmin server role, db_accessadmin and db_securityadmin database roles....By now, the user can add or remove login and database user. However, the user cannot add or remove any database role membership. What am I missing here?? What should I do so that the user can create, and alter database roles in the database??

How to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database.
I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility.
Is there a better way of doing this ?
Hi when i try and open a database in sql server management studio i get the error "Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DOMAINUser'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)", what can i do to rectify this, i have googled around and still havent found no answers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.
