SQL Security :: Sysadmin Role Not Taking Effect For Windows User?
Aug 11, 2015My company has a Windows 2008 R2 server which is running SQL Server v11.0.5058. Â This server was previously running SQL Server 2008 and was recently upgraded. Â Since the upgrade I have noticed that when I connect to this server using SSMS and Windows authentication it seems as though I have a limited user context as I cannot see SQL Agent in the server tree at all and underneath the server security > logins folder I can only see the sa and SQL Server Windows service accounts (there are many more).
If I connect to the server using SSMS and the sa credential then I can see everything I expect to be able to see as a sysadmin.
I tried connecting as sa, then deleting my Windows AD account from the security > logins folder and reading my Windows AD account with the sysadmin role however this yielded the same result, when I connect using Windows authentication I still appear to be in a limited user context.
We have several other SQL 2008 / 2012 servers within our organization and all of them appear to be working fine / none of them exhibit this problem.
Which Comes First: Upgrade Windows Or SQL Server?
May 30, 2007I've got a box running Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000. This summer I plan on upgrading to Windows 2003 Standard and SQL Server 2005, but which do I do first?
My guess is that I shouldn't mess with upgrading SQL at all. Just dump the data, uninstall, upgrade the OS, install SQL 2005 and reimport the data back in. Is that a really bad idea?
I would think that if I wanted to upgrade both, then Windows should be upgraded first, right?

Repost: 00000 Display On Upgrade To Windows XP
Jul 20, 2005I posted this under 'microsoft.public.sqlserver.client' but got no reply.Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated---------------------I developed a database under SQL Server 2000, with Access 2000 on Windows2000 as client.

Apr 29, 2015This morning I attempted to connect to my local copy of SQL Server (2012) (Win 7) using Windows Authentication. I was unable to do so and per the error log it was due to error 18456 (invalid credentials).
Yesterday I changed my windows password. Is it possible for this to be the cause?

Also, per the configuration manager SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) (and all other services) is stopped and I was unable to start it ("The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion).
Integration Services :: Cannot Edit Package In Data Tools After Upgrade To Windows 10
Aug 24, 2015I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (I was installing a new c: drive anyway). Â I installed SQL Server & SSIS, Visual Studio 2012, SQL Server Data Tools 2012, etc. When I try to load up my project (.sln) in SQL Data Tools I get the following warnings/errors:

Credential Does Not Take Effect
Mar 13, 2008I have a sqlserve, which service account is 'local system', running in machine A.
A credential ,which associated a windows user U1 in machine A, mapped to a sqlserver login Login1.
A file named 1.txt that only can be accessed by U1 in machine A.
A CLR procedure P1 that would read the 1.txt file.
I encounter a error when i access the 1.txt file through P1 as Login1:
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "HelloWorld":
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:1.txt' is denied.
System.UnauthorizedAccessException:
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)

at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(String path, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, Int32 bufferSize)
at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(String path)
at StoredProcedures.StoredProcedure1(SqlString fileName)
.
I think it need a credential when a sqlserver login access some resource outside the sqlserver, so i add a credential and mapped to the login
any suggestions would be appreciated.
And please correct me if i have any inaccurate concept.
HAVING Clause Has No Effect
Nov 12, 2006I have this stored procedure. I want to run a few simple SQL functions against my tables. In particular I want to take a subset of records (One or Two years worth) and calculate AVG, VAR and STDEV.
It does not work the way I thought it would. I end up with the whole input table in #tempor1 which is about 6 years worth of records.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[findAve1YearDailyClose_MSFT]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT adjClosed, volume INTO #tempor1 FROM dbo.dailyCl_MSFT
GROUP BY dateTimed, adjClosed, volume
HAVING (dateTimed > DATEADD (year, -1, MAX (dateTimed)))
SELECT AVG (adjClosed) AS "AVGAdjClose1Year",
VAR (adjClosed) AS "VARAdjClose1Year", AVG (volume) AS "AVGVolume1Year",
STDEV (volume) AS "STDEVVolume1Year", COUNT (*) AS "total"
FROM #tempor1
END
Thus if I change the number of years I subtract from the latest date from 1 to 2 I end up with the same result. What is the problem?
Thanks.

Any Effect Of SQL Agent On REPLication?
Feb 4, 2004Hello,
What happens to these REPLication agents if SQL Agent is stopped and started:
Snapshot Agents
Merge Agents
Misc Maintenance Agents
Can the agent be stopped and started with no thought to the status of replication, or should the replication state be modified in some way before any change to the status of the Agent?
(I know REPL depends on agent, so wuestion is, can REPL simply resume or not when agent is re-started.)
Thanks.

Effect On Snapshots While Reindexing
Apr 30, 2007Does someone know if doing a reindex on a clustered or non-clustered index cause the snapshot file to grow? In other words, is the data that makes up the snapshot copied from the source to the snapshot database? If a normal reindex is done on the underlying database, will it block users from acessing the snapshot? Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSame Effect As Cross Join?
Jul 7, 2006How can I achieve the same effect as a cross join (since the merge operator doesn't have a cross join)?
Situation is this... a flat file has some header and footer information that I need to keep and attach to each row. So for simplicity sake of an example lets just say header has only 1 thing we care about - a row that says DATE=01/01/06.
I take the file and run a split to split into "Date" "Data" and "other" (other has all the throwaway rows in header and footer I don't care about). Then I use a derived column object to get all the columns out of the "Data". Finally I want to add that Date metadata back to every row in the data...
I thought this would be an easy thing to do.. but I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate that Date info into every row.. Hopefully I am overlooking something simple.
Thanks in advance.
Effect Of Joins On The Speed
Aug 6, 2007Hi..
I want to know that when I do something like..
Select Query
Left Join
Select Query 2
Left Join
Select Query 3
How does it work actually?
As in, whether Query 2 & Query 3 will work only on the records retrieved by Query 1 only.
Or, all the select statements retrieves all the records and then the condition is applied to filter out the results.
Also, does the order of the Select statements make any difference on the speed?
Thanks

Effect Of Shrink Database Question
May 1, 2008Hello all, thanks in advance for any advice here.
My question is, what's the effect of the Enterprise Manager > Tasks > Shrink Database function? It seems to reduce the used space on the device. Testing it on some dev machines, I've seem to have gotten back as much as 20g of space. I know it should grow back to that, but the time it took was minimal, and it didn't seem to affect my developers. They tend to add alot and delete alot during testing. What negative effects of running this should I look out for? Will it affect the DB long term? Is is preferable to schedule once a month or so? Is this done on Production DB's?
Thanks for any guidence on the usage of this.

The table contains about 2.5 million rows, so I don't want to mess anything up. I'm aware that the script may take a while to run and finish, but I'm only concerned about data integrity.
Here is my example script syntax to show what I'm planning to do:
Code Snippet
alter table credit alter column writeoffreason char(75) not null;
Does it matter what type of data is in the columns? For now, it's only CHAR and NVARCHAR.
I also read somewhere that you can increase length but cannot decrease without repercussions?
Thanks!
Allow Blank Value Does Not Effect When Parameter Is Multi Value = Bug!
Jan 3, 2008I build reports using reporting services 2005 sp2.
I have 3 parameters---> 3 multi value combo box .
However when I tick "allow blank value" within the report parameter
properties for this drop menu, report WILL NOT run without making
selection.(The xml is ok allow blank value set to true)
the reports still require you to enter a value for all parameters in the report when the report can and should be able to be run with no parameter defined.
the trick "default values for all of the params to "=String.Empty"" is not good .
I found this article but i can't find microsoft hotfix for it .

Am I missing something obvious here?
Effect Of Update Statistics On Database And On An ASP Application
Jun 13, 2001Hi
I had run a stored procedure in my server that update statistics against all user defined tables in my database (MSSQL 7.0).
Since then I am getting errors in my ASP application where I am reffering to adovbs.inc.
Here is an example of errors I get.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0411'
Name redefined: 'adOpenForwardOnly'
/Essai/adovbs.inc, line 14
Below is the stored procedure I have run against the database.
Can anybody help tank you guys.
CREATE PROCEDURE update_all_stats
AS
/*
This PROCEDURE will run UPDATE STATISTICS against
ALL user-defined tables within this database.
*/
DECLARE @tablename varchar(30)
DECLARE @tablename_header varchar(75)
DECLARE tnames_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM sysobjects
WHERE type = 'U'
OPEN tnames_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @tablename
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
SELECT @tablename_header = "Updating " +
RTRIM(UPPER(@tablename))
PRINT @tablename_header
EXEC ("UPDATE STATISTICS " + @tablename )
END
FETCH NEXT FROM tnames_cursor INTO @tablename
END
PRINT " "
PRINT " "
SELECT @tablename_header = "************* NO MORE TABLES" +
" *************"
PRINT @tablename_header
PRINT " "
PRINT "Statistics have been updated FOR ALL tables."
DEALLOCATE tnames_cursor
Need To Know Why Two Calculation Methods Result In Different Rounding Effect
Feb 23, 2004Hi All,
I have a view that does some calculations on data in the database. Note in the two code snippets, that the columns being used in the calculations are all type FLOAT(53).
My confusion stems from the fact that both code snippets should be functionally the same in my "view" (*snicker* I kill me...), but they return different results which I think are related to rounding issues.
The first snippet:
CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW_Calculate_PortfolioIndex
AS
SELECT PP.PortfolioID AS PortfolioID,
PP.CreateDate AS CreateDate,
(ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2) * PP.AvgHighPriceRatio) AS HighIndex,
CASE WHEN PPI.CloseIndex IS NULL
THEN 100.00
ELSE ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2)
END AS CloseIndex,
(ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2) * PP.AvgLowPriceRatio) AS LowIndex,
PP.Volume as Volume
FROM dbo.PortfolioIndex PPI INNER JOIN
dbo.PortfolioPerformance PP ON
PPI.PortfolioID = PP.PortfolioID AND
PPI.CreateDate = PP.PrevDate
GO
and it's result set:
PortfolioIDCreateDateHighIndexCloseIndexLowIndexVolume
102/20/2004781.11774.17769.53527896
112/20/2004757.97750.36742.93605740
122/20/2004509.92501.72494.854180516
132/20/2004988.23980.65973.58632337
142/20/20041283.261269.571259.37416145
And the second snippet:
CREATE VIEW dbo.VIEW_Calculate_PortfolioIndex
AS
SELECT PP.PortfolioID AS PortfolioID,
PP.CreateDate AS CreateDate,
(CloseIndex * PP.AvgHighPriceRatio) AS HighIndex,
CASE WHEN PPI.CloseIndex IS NULL
THEN 100.00
ELSE ROUND((PPI.CloseIndex + (PPI.CloseIndex * PP.DailyPerChg / 100.00)), 2)
END AS CloseIndex,
(CloseIndex * PP.AvgLowPriceRatio) AS LowIndex,
PP.Volume as Volume
FROM dbo.PortfolioIndex PPI INNER JOIN
dbo.PortfolioPerformance PP ON
PPI.PortfolioID = PP.PortfolioID AND
PPI.CreateDate = PP.PrevDate
which returns a different result set:
PortfolioIDCreateDateHighIndexCloseIndexLowIndexVolume
102/20/2004784.52774.17772.89527896
112/20/2004755.64750.36740.64605740
122/20/2004512.43501.72497.294180516
132/20/2004989.77980.65975.1632337
142/20/20041285.991269.571262.05416145
Specifically, I am concerned with the HighIndex and LowIndex values...since the only modification between the two code snippets is that in the second one, the HighIndex and LowIndex calculations use the column name of CloseIndex (as calculated in the select) in the calcs for those two columns, rather than repeating the code used to calculate the CloseIndex column's value.
I am confused as to why the results of the HighIndex and LowIndex caculations are different in the two selects, when the only change (in my view/expectations) is that one references the CloseIndex column, and the other one just reproduces the calculation itself
*scratching head*
any thoughts? Thanks,
Paul
Report Model Item Security Has No Effect
Apr 25, 2007Hi,
I am trying to use a very easy and simple feature of a reportmodel, model item security.
In my example i have two users; HGHJohn and HGHJKooi
I want to test if I am able to restrict access in the model to a whole entity. HGHJKooi shouldn't be able to see the entity 'Customers'.
These are the steps I executed:
1. In Sqlserver management studio I opened the properties of my model and navigated to the tabpage 'model item security'.
2. I activated the option 'secure individual model items...'
3. In the root of the model I declared two users(groups) as specified above
4. Automatically all nodes inherit these settings from the root.
5. For the entity 'Relations' I change the default, by selecting 'use these roles for each group or user account'
6. I removed HGHJKooi from this list, leaving only 'HGHJohn as model item browser
What I expected at this moment is that when I login the system as HGHJKooi, then I won't see this entity, but I still can! Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
