Database Admin

Dec 30, 1999

long, bad story here is the brief:

sql: 6.0 w/ fixes
platform: intel NT 4 sp3+

our "dba", i use that term loosly as the person who filled that position had little expertiese in managing sql, found a new job and has left; i worked with him on periphery matters so i'm less effective than he. unfortunatly ..."he with the most experience..." becomes "the man" so now i'm working to become a good dba and require some assistance.

we had a contractor come in and work out a method for archiving data using bcp, some batch files, and sql scripts; prior to this he assisted us in porting from one platform to another, digital alpha running NT to intel platform running NT.

in brief the procedure is as follows:
using options of EM create scripts to create all objects except indexes, again use EM to create sql scripts to create all objectes including indexes.

obtain sizing information and create a device and database, including log etc.

use the create objects script to create objects in the newly created database

use a custom script to create a batch file to bcp data from the primary database into flat files.

use a custom script/batch file to create a batch file to bcp data into the newly created database.

use the create indexes sql script to re-create indexes. we have to modify the sql create all objects including indexes script. i've worked up a batch file using for /f and if == to do this.

do some row counts and spot checks of tables stored procedures to verify conversion.


so now my questions:

using the information supplied causes problems, the tables end up being created but are owned by the wrong user. is there a way to change table, stored procedure, or object ownership? i create the database and objects as sa, then populate with bcp and re-create the indexes as the desired owner. my understanding is that sa has the special permissions needed to create objectes and the create objects script should make the appropriate users, logins, and changes to the db objects... where am i going wrong?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring A Database Even If No Database Or Backup Encryption

Sep 3, 2014

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.

I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1

Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Why Only Admin Can Access SQL 2000 Database?

Oct 25, 2006




We have SBS2003 and SQL2000 is running on it. Recently we built a trips database and
Installed trips application on it but the problem is that only the administrator can run Trips application. Other domain users cannot get access to the new trips program. I added the users on database and double checked.

When normal user logs on, these messages show up:

Message 1:
"MS sql Server login
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 53
Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error:17
Microsoft OBDC SQL Server Driver DBNETLIB SQL Server does not existor denied."

Message 2:
"File dbo.control could not be opened. Error (r=100).
Press OK to end this application."

Any advance is welcome.

DBA Without Admin Access On Database Server

Mar 28, 2007

Hello,



I have been given the responsibility of administering and trying to maintain an enterprise level database (currently 20GB in size) without local admin privileges on the server that houses my database. Is there any documentation available that can either help me get my job done, or help me convince my supervisors that my position requires that level of access?



I understand the concern about the local admins being able to "do whatever they want", as well as the effort to reduce the amount of risk exposure to major accidents. I just want to be able to do my job effectively.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Does Security-admin Role Plus Deny Alter Any Login Cancel Each Other Out

Aug 27, 2015

I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.

I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.

I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).

So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.

Analysis Services Admin Access To One Database Only

Jul 5, 2006

On a given Analysis Server the machine level OLAP Administrators group controls which users have admin access to AS Databases and Cubes on that machine. From everything I have read, if you are in the OLAP Administrators group you have full access to administer ALL the databases and cubes.
We have a need to create a OLAP database and grant a few users (a role) full admin access to create and maintain datasouces and cubes within that database but NOT allow them admin access to the other existing databases and cubes on the server.  This seems like such a common requirement. Has anyones else encountered and resolved this issue.
Thanks,

Aug 22, 2007

Thanks in advance for help.

Could someone please help me for SWL backup restoration and db by user

I restored SQL 7.0 database to SQL 2000. ( by creating empty db on SQL 2000 and restored from SQL 7 backup) -- restore ok..
I need to use same SQL user which is admin for DB on SQL 7, for SQL 2000 also. ( DB user is sql user not domain user)
I put mixed authentication mode ( windows and SQL) in SQL 2000 enterprises manager security tab setting.
I can see DB user is available in DB user list on restored DB but can not access DB when I try to access from query analyser
I tried to create new login with same name as it was in SQL 7 and tried to give full admin access on SQL 2000 enterprise manager but I get error 21002:[ SQL DMO] User 'user' already exists.

Kind Regards

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Logins With No Database Permissions

Nov 3, 2014

Query to show logins that don't have any permissions within the SQL instance? I'm tasked with doing some cleanup and have found some cases where the database was deleted or moved to another server but the logins that used it were not deleted. I'd like to identify them to research.

For instance a query to show logins that have no permissions in any of the existing databases would be handy. I'm thinking it would be complicated by the need to loop through all of the existing databases and then outer join it to the list of instance level logins. Going to try to write something like that but was hoping that a script already exists.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Error - Cannot Drop Database Because It Is Currently In Use

Oct 29, 2015

I have an environment with MS-SQL Server 2014 and always-on availability group configured (on 2-nodes).

I'm writing a Powershell Script which removes the database from the availability group (on the primary server) and then SHOULD drop the database on the secondary Server.

That works most of the time, but not always...

When it fails I get the error message:

Cannot drop database "Customer_2" because it is currently in use.

When i check the secondary DB-Server (sp_who2) while the script is running, i see that there is a process for the DB "Customer_2" with Status="background", Command="DB STARTUP" and LastWaitType="REDO_THREAD_PENDING WORK".

As soon as the script fails, this process for "Customer_2" disapears.

This happens always only on the second database in the availability group.

Why is the process still there, even after I removed the database from the Availability Group on the primary node.

If I remove the database from the availability group manually, the "background" process on the secondary node for that database disappears..

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Copy Resource Database MDF For Upgrading

Copy mssqlsystemresource.mdf of a recently upgraded server and paste to an old server have same effect of upgrading via .exe installation?

My idea is to save time and administrative efforts in upgrades (Service Packs and/or Cumulative Updates) using this method.

According to BOL:

The Resource database makes upgrading to a new version of SQL Server an easier and faster procedure. In earlier versions of SQL Server, upgrading required dropping and creating system objects. Because the Resource database file contains all system objects, an upgrade is now accomplished simply by copying the single Resource database file to the local server.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restore Database From GUI Takes Long Or Never Pop Up

So I tried to click on Databases on Top and Restore Database, and then select the db that I need to restore from Drop down, then it shows "creating restore plan selecting backups" but it takes forever.

We have full backup and trn log backups every 30 mins. So is it trying to get all these backup files in the background causing this issue? If yes then how to overcome this?
