Audit User Activity

Mar 21, 2006

Hi All,

I'm an Oracle DBA that has inherited some SQL Server 2000 databases.
Can you audit a particular user in Sql Server 2000. We need to know exactly what a particular user is doing, (i.e. creating/dropping objects, and what data he is accessing)

what is the best way to do this??

Thanks,
Dave

Disk Activity Audit - Important Metrics??

Apr 19, 2004

Hello All,

I am trying to perform a performance audit on a SQL Server where I am positive my most likely bottle neck is the disks. I assume the primary metrics I should be interested in are %Disk Activity and Disk Queue Length, right?

What are the actually guidelines for these metrics? Also, Are there other perf mons I should be running against the disks?

Thanks In Advance.

Transact SQL :: How Columns Are Populated In ETL Process

Apr 30, 2015

I need to query some hierarchical data. I've written a recursive query that allows me to examine a parent and all it's related children using an adjacency data model. The scenario is to allow users to track how columns are populated in an ETL process. I've set up the sample data so that there are two paths:

1. col1 -> col2 -> col3 -> col6
2. col4 - > col5

You can input a column name and get everything from that point downstream. The problem is, you need to be able to start at the bottom and work your way up. Basically, you should be able to put in col6 and see how the data got from col1 to col6. I'm not sure if it's a matter of rewriting the query or changing the schema to invert the relationships.

DECLARE @table_loads TABLE (column_id INT, parent_id INT, table_name VARCHAR(25), column_name VARCHAR(25))
DECLARE @column_name VARCHAR(10)
INSERT INTO @table_loads(column_id, parent_id, table_name, column_name)
SELECT 1,NULL,'table1','col1'

[code]...

Integration Services :: SSIS Copying Populated Excel File?

Jul 9, 2015

I am experiencing unexpected behaviour when copying an Excel file.

An Excel file from TemplateDir to WorkingDir.

Excel file is then populated in WorkingDir, ok Copy File task copies Excel File from WorkingDir to FinalDir, however non populated version of file is copied.

However, if I stop SSIS and and execute Copy Task only, the populated version of file is copied.

It seems SSIS has a kind of lock on Excel file in WorkingDir.

how lock can be released to enable Copy of populated file.

Some Columns Not Populated In Data Flow Destination

Mar 13, 2007

I am populating a table using a SQL command. very simple.

SELECT RISKID
      ,RISKIDREN
      ,RISKIDEND
      ,PREMIUMSUBTOTAL
      ,PREMIUMTOTAL
      ,SURCHARGE1
      ,SURCHARGE2
      ,SURCHARGE3
      ,SURCHARGE4
      ,SURCHARGE5
      ,COMMPREMIUM1
FROM PREMIUM

However, the first three columns are not being populated in the destination table. The other columns come over fine.

The SQL stmt. returns data as expected when run against the source database.

I deleted the source and destination and recreated the flow to prevent metadata mapping issues. In the source editor preview I see all of the columns and data. In the destination editor preview, the first three columns of data are null ???.

It appears that the columns are not mapping properly even though they are in the source and destination of the mapping editor.

I have made sure that the destination mapping contains all the columns in the UI.

The source and destination have the columns represented in the advanced editor metedata. I also checked the XML to verify that the columns are in the destination.

There is a row count between the source and destination. which should have no effect.

This is a part of a larger DW load where I have 10 other tables populated within the dataflow. I also do not get any validation, or error messages. So, I have eliminated truncation errors or the like.

I am really puzzled.  Has anyone run accross anything like this?

Overwriting An Existing Database With One That Is Populated With Data

Jan 21, 2008

I am tring to figure out how to simplify the process of populating a database created by an application with the same database, only with data already in it. So far i have created a backup of the database and used that backup file with SQL server management express to overwrite the existing database with that backup file on a new computer so the program will have data when initally installed for Demonstration purposes. I was hoping there was an executable script that i could use, so that when someone wants a demonstration of our product, they can see its options and functionallity with data available. Maby i am going about this the wrong way, i need to know if there is a way that when our program is installed an executable can simply be run to populate our database with a backup of our sample database. Any imput would be helpful.
Thanks.

Transact SQL :: Database Audit Specification On Specific Users

Mar 30, 2015

Currently I am using SQL server 2012 and would like to implement database audit specification on specific users in my database. These are the users in my database name Payroll :-

PayrollAndy.Bred - db_owner
PayrollArpit.Shah - db_owner
Payrollwebapp - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE
web_payroll - db_datareader, db_datawriter, EXECUTE

In my database audit specification settings, I would like to capture any SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE and EXECUTE command for users PayrollAndy.Bred & PayrollArpit.Shah only since they owned db_owner access. However, I am unable to capture any single command from both users. I do not want to put 'Principal' as public since I just want to capture both users activity.

Is it I miss out anything? Is it because of windows login account?

Transact SQL :: Simple Trigger To Audit Who When Is Changing A Specific Column

Jul 6, 2015

I need a trigger to know who and when a char(1) column is changed. Would like to write the audit trail to its own table I can query and record before and after values.

DDL:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test](
[Customer] [varchar](12) NULL,
[Active] [char](1) NULL DEFAULT ('N') --Must use char 1 b/c more than 2 possible values
)

Insert into Test (Customer, Active) Values ('Acme','Y')..I want trigger to tell me whowhenwhere this value was changed. If using sql auth capture client windows id if possible and write to audit table Update Test set Active = 'N'

Transact SQL :: Exporting Data To Excel File

Apr 24, 2015

I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.

If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?

Transact SQL :: How To Export Data To CSV File On Scheduled Basis

Apr 17, 2011

I have an existing MS SQL database (2008 R2). I have a very simple SQL script. I need to run this script on a daily basis and save the results as a .csv file.

I've tried creating a job in SQL Manager - that didn't work. Then I found a tutorial that had me use MS Visual Studio... couldn't get that to function either.

what program I should be using, and how to go about creating this as a task / job that can run on a scheduled basis?

Transact SQL :: Can Store File Data Without Streaming On Server

Oct 14, 2015

I need to store file(s) to SQL without streaming / reading at Server. I have created a Web API with AngularJS and SQL. e.g.

var fileType = httpRequest.Files[file].ContentType;
var fileStrm = httpRequest.Files[file].InputStream;
var fileSize = httpRequest.Files[file].ContentLength;
byte[] fileRcrd = new byte[fileSize];
var file_Name = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
fileStrm.Read(fileRcrd, 0, fileSize);

Is it possible to send file data to SQL (in bytes) without streaming / reading at server?I don't want to put a load on server for large files. just read the data and send them to SQL where SQL will do the streaming and store data as varbinary.

Unfortunately, I didn't mention the @stoptime for each of the trace sessions and now I'm unable to delete the trace files. Is there any select statement that will be useful in finding the @traceid for these auditting sessions? Also, how am I able to stop the sessions without stopping the related services?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Database Audit Specification To Audit Select On Certain User And Table

Nov 1, 2014

I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query

"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"

It return a value at which time the query has done

after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on

Transact SQL :: Bulk Insert When Data File Is On Network Share

Dec 3, 2015

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 box. The SQL Server service is running as a simple windows domain user (nothing special, no admin rights, etc.) I am having some issues with using Bulk Insert when the data file is on a network share when using Windows Authentication. What is known is that the SQL Server service account has access to the network resource, which is shown by logging into SQL Server with a SQL account and doing the Bulk Insert. I also have rights to the files on the share, as shown by the fact that I put the files there. My SQL is in the form of:

Bulk Insert [table name] From '[server][share][filename]' With (FirstRow = 2, FormatFile='FormatFile.xml')

Now, when connecting to SQL Server with Windows Authentication and running the Bulk Insert I get the following error:

Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Cannot bulk load because the file "[server][share][filename]" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).

I found this snip at

BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL)Security Account Delegation (Impersonation), which says, in part (emphasis mine):

To resolve this error [4861], use SQL Server Authentication and specify a SQL Server login that uses the security profile of the SQL Server process account, or configure Windows to enable security account delegation. For information about how to enable a user account to be trusted for delegation.

How to Configure the Server to be Trusted for Delegation, and we tried the unconstrained delegation and I rebooted the SQL server, but it still does not work. Later we tried constrained delegation and it still does not work.

I have verified the SPNs:

C:>setspn adsvc_sqlRegistered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=SVC_SQL,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Users,OU=ad domain,DC=ad,DC=local: MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local:1433 MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local:1433 MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local
I have verified that my SQL connection is TCP and I am getting/using a Kerberos security token.
C:>sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLQA.ad.local,1433 -E1> Select dec.net_transport, dec.auth_scheme From sys.dm_exec_connections As dec Where session_id = @@Spid;2>
gonet_transport auth_scheme------------- -----------TCP KERBEROS(1 rows affected)1>

If I move the source file to a local drive (on the SQL server), all works fine, but I must be able to read from a file share?

MS HotFixes/patches Possibly Stunting DB Activity For Certain Amounts Of Data?

Jun 14, 2004

I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on a problem I’ve noticed that's really made for a major thorn in my side. I recently had a Microsoft patch installed on my server, and now for some reason, trying to run INSERT or UPDATE queries against the SQL 2000 database are severely limited. I constantly get the error:

“Error: A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.�?

My Event Logs also return the following:

"Invalid buffer received from client."

I think I’ve isolated the problem to be that I can’t add new or modify existing records that try using a field which is of type TEXT, but now can’t be longer than 4,000 characters, else the error fires. This is really weird, as I’ve used the same ASP.NET script to call a stored procedure to INSERT/UPDATE records thousands of times before with 100% success.

I have a feeling this might have something to do with the patch, but has anyone come across this problem specifically, or know for sure which patch(es) cause it? Why all of a sudden would a TEXT field be so limited in capacity?

Audit Logon / Audit Logoff Problem With SQL 2K

Jan 18, 2006

I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???

Audit Data

Jan 18, 2005

Hi all,
I would just like to ask whats the best way to make some audit on some of the tables in a MS SQL server, what i'm planning to have is to have a table which can contain all changes/inserts/deletion of some given tables, my first idea was to have this:

AuditTable that have the following fields:
AuditID, TableName, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue, UpdateBy, UpdateDate

then in all the given tables, i'll have insert, update and delete trigger, the issue comes down to the trigger, what will be the best way to have that trigger written in a way that it can be use for other tables as well? say if a table have more then 20 fields, I don't want to declare 20 var and compare them 1 by1, and if there is a diff, then i insert to the audittable, I want something that it can loop and (if possible) be able to use by other table as well, so the field name etc can get from sysobjects, but then how can you code it in a way that it can do that?

Or is there any better way to get the same result? currently i have an audit table for each table i want to audit on and its just wasting space, any help will be great.
Thanks,

Here is the situation:Tables:AccountAccountDocumentAccountTestThen we have the following "Activity" table refencing "Account" tableabove:Table: ActivityColumns: ActivityID, AccountNo,...when "Activity" with accountno is created, we'd like to able to takesnapshop or copy all Account related data records from tables: account,accountdocument, accounttestand store it somewhere.This way even if account, accountdocument and accounttest tables changelater, then "Activity" accountno integrity in maintained.Do we need to create or replicate similar tables to store data foraudit?or Which other ways can this be achieved?

Data Type In Audit Record

Mar 30, 2007

Hi,I want my application to audit any data changes (update, insert,delete) made by the users. Rather than have an audit table mirroringeach user table, I'd prefer to have a generic structure which can loganything. This is what I've come up with:TABLE: audit_record*audit_record_id (uniqueidentifier, auto-assign, PK) - uniqueidenfiier of the audit recordtable_name (varchar) - name of the table where the action (insert/update/delete) was madepk_value (varchar) - primary key of the changed record. If the PKitself has changed, this will store the old value.user_id (varchar) - user who changed the recorddate (datetime) - date/time at which the change was madeaction (int) - 0, 1 or 2 (insert, update, delete)TABLE: audit_column*audit_record_id (uniqueidentifier, composite PK) - FK tocdb_audit_record table*column_name (varchar, composite PK) - name of the column with changeddatanew_value (text?) - value after the changeSo every column which changes has its new value logged individually inthe audit_column table. However, I'm not sure what data type thenew_value column should have. The obvious answer (to me) is text, asthat can handle any necessary data type with the appropriateconversion (we don't store any binary data). However, this table isgoing to grow to millions of records and I'm not sure what theperformance implications of a text column will be, particularly giventhat the actual data stored in it will almost always be tiny.Any thoughts/recommendations/criticism would be greatly appreciated.ThanksAlex

Converting Audit Data To Create History

Apr 9, 2008

Hi

I have a table called my_history that has columns like this

column_name , old_value, new_value, key, date
bankaccount 30 50 1 01-Apr-2008
bankbalance 10 14 2 04-Apr-2008

and so on............

The history table is populated using triggers

The main table called my has a structure like

bankaccount bankbalance bankname name address key
50 50 xyz abc ford 1
30 14 abc xyz east 2

Now using this information can i reconstruct the records in my table before the update happened ?

I am finding it very difficult to do this is there a way to do this in t-sql ?

The problem is my_history table where the column_name keeps on varrying

regards
Hrishy

Transact SQL :: Why Does File Seem Displaced When Send Server Results To A File

Aug 24, 2015

I have the following SQL

IFOBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TempTable_Lockbox_File_Header_Record')IS NOTNULLDROP TABLE#TempTable_Lockbox_File_Header_Record
;
IFOBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TempTable_Lockbox_Batch_Header_Record')IS NOTNULLDROP TABLE#TempTable_Lockbox_Batch_Header_Record
;

[code]....

When I send my query results to a file in SQL Server Management Studio, how come I'm seeing the following in Notepad++? FH TEST "FH" which I thought should be in a CHAR(2) data column is there but "TEST" seems to start in Column 6...not column 3 as I would have expected. I was expecting... FHTEST.

Transact SQL :: Output A File With A File Header

Aug 27, 2015

In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..

FHTEST 00000208262015 BH000208262015

I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.

@@ERROR Is Not Being Populated

May 23, 2006

Hi All,

I ran the code below in QA, and @@ERROR never gets populated with any error code, despite the fact that an error occured. This event is very misleading and errors are never caught. Any advice greatly appreciated.

-- Create the table
create table test_table (
test_field int
)

-- Execute the code
DECLARE @err_status int, @row_count int
insert into test_table (
test_field
)
values (
'TEST STRING'
)
select @err_status = @@ERROR, @row_count = @@ROWCOUNT

IF @err_status <> 0 PRINT @err_status

-- Results:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Syntax error converting the varchar value 'TEST STRING' to a column of data type int.
