When trying to delete a user on SQL server 2000, we recieve the message "You cannot drop the selected login ID because that login ID owns objects in one or more databases."
We've tried a number of operations to find the objects owned by the user by searching for this error message in Google but, none of those suggestions work.
My questions are; Why does this happen, How can we avoid it in the future?
Our software applicaiton is case sensistive, and if a SQL security login is not created that matches the Domain login to the method used in the application - somehow we are suck. We can't create a new security for the login, nor can we delete or use the existing one.
Please help, it's urgent!! We are using sql server 2000 DB, Sa is trying to delete a user from the Great Plains application and got the follow error: Deleting the login failed for an unknown reason, contact your sql server administrator for assistance.
I have several reports for users to view on our Intranet. After installation of SQL 2005 SP2 patch, I cannot delete user or user's authority from Report in Properties Tab. An error message was shown on the status bar. It indicated that JavaScript Error: 'Return' statement outside of function. Seems something wrong with the 'Delete' funciton in SQL 2005 after update. The other functions worked fine. Could you point me out how to fix it or need to install any updates / hotfix. Thanks a lot!
Is there any way to delete an unwanted row on a table with 300 or more constraints with less modifications to contraints? Or is there any other way that can remove the unwanted row without much risk? Dropping the constraints is possible but re-adding the constraints may not be possible because the create constraint statements are not known. And readding the constraints may take time because the database physical size is around 1GB... Please help
I've got an application I've written that should be able to (using a table) insert, update or delete records in SQL Server 2005. It can insert and update fine but it cannot delete any records. I'm totally stumped for how to figure out what's going on. I can remote on to the Windows 2003 Enterprise Server without any trouble so I should be able to read any log files or open the SQL Managemenent tools. How do I figure out what the issue is? It's a very strange thing and I'm stumped.
I created and scheduled a test snapshot publication and a push subscription using the sql server replication wizard. Tested it and it worked all fine as the data was regularly replicated to the destination server correctly.
After I was satisfied with the test I deleted the replication and subscription without any problem. But I noticed that the jobs created by the replication wizard had not been deleted. I was disappointed as I had also expected these to be deleted because there are no more any local publication or replication on the server.
I, then, tried to delete the job by right click - and then delete. But I am unable to delete the pubilcation and subscription jobs at all. When I try to delete the sql server 2005 the following error message appears:
--start-------------------------------------------------------------------- "Attempt to retrieve data failed for object for server <MYSERVER>" (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo ) Addional Information
The job <jobname> does not exist on the server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) --End--------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone help me on how to delete all replication jobs.
I was importing records via DTSWizard, and I was having problems so I turned off Enforce Replicaton, Enforce FK Constraints on a couple of fields. I'm new with SQL Server so I'm not sure if this even caused the problem. (Do I need to turn these back on, or is this a Developer switch of some kind?)
The end result left me with duplicate records in the table, and I'm not able to delete any of them. This is the Error I got...
A problem occurred attempting to delete row 1. Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio,Datatools. Error Message: The row value(s) updated or deleted either do not make the row unique or they after multiple rows(2 rows).
If someone could tell me what I need to do so I can delete the records I'd really appreciate it.
Hello, I have been serching for weeks to resolve this problem. I am new to ASP.NET and trying to make the migration from ASP which I have programmed in for years. I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and SQL Express Edtion. I have been working through the Microsoft Video Training at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/learningpath/ and created a web site using Tier 3 Lesson 8 as the model. My new web site which is a simple phone book applicaiton lets me read the table and select the record without any problem. But the update form lets me edit but when I attempt to Apply the update I get the following error. Server Error in '/Phonebook' Application. ObjectDataSource 'ObjectDataSource1' could not find a non-generic method 'Update' that has parameters: FirstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, BossGroup, Department, BossPickup, ShowInPhonebook, Type, Original_FirstName, Original_LastName, Original_PhoneNumber, Original_BossGroup, Original_Department, Original_BossPickup, Original_ShowInPhoneBook, Original_Type, Original_ItemID. Description: An unhundled expception occured during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originiated in the code. The Stack Trace basiclly showes the same error as above. Also, when I attempt to delete the record I do not get an error but the record does not delete. What is interesting is that I can add a record so I do not believe that it is a security permissions issue. I have the ISS Authinication Method Enable Anonymous Access set on with full control. If anyone has any insight as to why this is occuring please let me know.

We have created and scheduled some test reports via Idera performance tool but we are unable to delete the reports. These are not custom reports and reports created with Schedule Email option in Idera. Unfortunately, I dera does not have any option to delete these reports and support is asking me if I tried this by deleting from SQL Server Reporting Services.I looked at the Reporting services but can't find any place to delete these reports. This link does not provide any support because I don't have these (Or Report Manager)----> Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Reporting / Reporting Services.
URL....All I have is "Reporting Services Configuration Manager" under "Configuration Tools". How can I delete these reports from SQL Server Reporting services ?. Can I delete them from some tables in Reports databases ?. If so, what are the tables ?. I delete the jobs from SQL Server but the jobs are automatically created the next day emailing the reports again..
Somehow I got the value -1.#IND into several records in a table in SQL 2000 DB.
I assume that it is a kind of €œNot A Number€??
The problem I am facing now, is that I can not modify the value to a legal value. Nor can I delete the record that holds the number. I get the error message:
€œAnother user has modified the contents of this table or view, the database row you are modifying no longer exists in the database. Database error: €˜[Microsoft][ODBS SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] A floating point exception occurred in the user process. Current transaction is cancelled.€?
I'm using below script within the execute T-SQL statement task of the maintenance plan, which is created to delete the zip files older than 2 days, the task runs before the backup database task gets kicked off, but some how the task is not deleting the old .zip files.
Code being used within the task: output of the @delete_file variable within the delete command is Del X:SQLBackup*2015_05_06*.zip before it is passed to the final exec statement, the server is in EST time zone.
We were using sql authentication on our sql server 2000 servers, Butneed to use windows authentication. I have an sql user jdoe that ownsmany different objects in multiple databases. I have tried adding thewindows login of jdoe with the exact same permissions as the sql userjdoe, but it complains because it says jdoe already exists. So Iattempt to delete the sql user of jdoe (remembering the permissions soI can reapply them to the windows user soon to be created) But it says"you cannot drop the selected login id because that login id ownsobjects in one or more databases" So now I am trying to figure out howto change the ownership of those many many objects in the manydatabases from jdoe to dbo so I can delete this sql user of jdoe. Doesanyone know of a way to convert an sql login to a windows login? Or ifthat can't be done, how to change the owner of many objects to dbo so Ican delete this user? Maybe a T-SQL script or stored procedure. Thereis a stored procedure called sp_changeobjectowner but that only worksfor one object, how would I do that on all the objects that jdoe owns?As you can see I am a newbie but I appreciate any help you canprovide!!! Thanks in advance!
I restored a user database from another server and created a script to drop and recreate the users. This has worked for me in the past to synchronize logins/passwords. Recently I have been unable to drop two users and get the following error message:
Server: Msg 15183, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything, Line 17 The user owns objects in the database and cannot be dropped.
I'm unable to find any objects owned by the user and have unsuccessfully been able to drop them. Has anyone else anything similar to this error?
I am novice to SQL, I have a software which uses SQL as backend. The software is made in such a way that during its installation it runs a stored procedure which deletes all users except SA. Now when I try to login to SQL either via Enterprise Manager or via query analyser it asks for password. When I put the password it gives error "Unable to connect to server. msg:18456, level 16, state 1[microsoft][odbc sql server driver][sql server] login failed for user SA. Someone told me that it is unable to connect to server. But the main thing is that I dont have any client I have only server. What could be the possible reason. 1)Is there anyway of creating a user in SQL in such a situation when there is only one user SA and it is unable to log in SQL server. 2)Or is there anyway of removing SA Password. 3)Or is there anyway (in SQL SERVER) of stopping a particular procedure from getting executed while software installation.
Im new to SQL Server so please forgive me if I seem a tad ignorant. Any help is much appreciated.
I have just installed SQL Server 2005 CTP on my machine at home in order to learn more about it. The istallation completed successfully on my home pc under XP Pro w SP2.
I use the machine with Administration priveliges. There is also a local account on the machine I could use, but I never do. No password entry is required.
When I launch Management Studio it gives me the option to connect to a server and lists myself as the only option. When I select this account (the same one that has administration privelidges) it attempts to connects but times out.
I receive an error message saying the server actively refused the connection.
I am a little confused as to the architecture of SQL Server I suspect. I have installed SQL Server on the machine, but it seems to be behaving like a client installation.
If anyone knows of any articles that may help me, or if there is a simple explanation to help get me connected, I would be most greatful.
I am trying to recreate a user, using an NT account that changed.
First I got rid of the user using sp_dropuser, and this seemed to work. The user has certainly gone from the sysuser table. However when I try and create a new user it throws an error, telling me that the user already exists.
hey, i'm trying to delete everything record that is connected to a user i want to delete..however, i've been getting error due to the fact that the username also serves as foreign keys..is there anyway i can solve this?

I created many test users in my application while trying to get a custom registration process to work, and now I would like to delete those users so they don't use up space in my database. When I go into the aspnet_Users table and try to delete a user, it gives me the following error:-------------------------------- DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint 'FK__aspnet_Me__UserI__0F975522'. The conflict occurred in database 'DB_83996', table 'aspnet_Membership', column 'UserId'.DELETE FROM [DB_83996].[dbo].[aspnet_Users] WHERE 1=0 OR ( [UserId] = '{7E864A07-6FE8-46EF-A2B8-354646D57C76}' )-------------------------------- I don't know much about SQL statements, so is that statement it gave me the statement I need to use to delete that particular user? If not, how would I go about deleting these users I don't need anymore?Thanks so much. :)
Can anybody explain what database user with a prefix of "" in the public role indicates. I have the same two users in every database and cannot remove them?
