How To Prevent System Administrator To View And Edit A Database Structure And Data
Dec 26, 2007
I represent a software development house and we have developed a client server system based on SQL Server. Most of our customers have already purchased Enterprise License of SQL Server, therefore they own the SA Login and Password. We are bound to attach our Database with their Server on their machine.
My question is how can we stop a System Administrator of SQL Server to view our Database Structure, Queries, Data installed on their SQL Server on their machine.
Our database structure is a trade secret and we cant reveal the structure to the client.
please answer this question by email to me at farhandotcom@gmail.com
Thanks & Regards

Hi everybody,
I have an application in dotnet that uses sql express.
This application will be deployed on the user computer and I have to find a way to prevent the user to be able to read the data and access the structure of the database.
Is there a way to do this ? Even if the user is a local administrator of the computer ?
That's a difficult question, isn't it ? ;-))))
Thank you for your possible ideas,
Ciao,
Aurore

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I got a quite a strange problem with Mining structure for OLAP data source though. The problem is: I am not able to edit the mining structure in the mining structure editor. The whole data source view within the mining structure editor is greyed. Could please anyone here give me any advices for that?
Thank you very much in advance for any help for that.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?

We have a product which uses a SQL Mobile Database under Windows CE 5.0. I would like to be able to change the database structure, i.e. add tables, change table structure , etc. On a copy of the database on my PC and them move the restructured database back to a device. I can access the database from Visual Studio 2005. I can edit tables, add tables, but I can't change the name of a column. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello all,
does someone know where to find information regarding what is accesible to a BUILTINAdministrator which is not accesible to a System Administrator?
Somewhere I have read that a System Administrator can not see the "All users' folders (i.e. the collection of "My folder"s for all users of the Report Server) but I have also experienced a behaviour which has surprised me: as a System Administrator with all permissions I cann't even see folders that a BUILTINAdministrator can.
Does it mean that a System Administrator can not really manage all the resources of a Report Server?
Any ideas will be welcomed. Many thanks.

Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and new to SQL.
I have a stored procedure which sets the value of a variable (@owner_logon_name, type sysname) to sa. It then calls sp_add_job in the msdb database, which in turn calls numerous other stored procedures. The ASP page I post down to the server is coming back with an internal server error and the log file shows the following message:
"Only a system administrator can reassign ownership of a job."
Even though the login name was set to sa, it seems to be using another role.
The code I have in my sp is:
exec @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_job @job_id = @JobID output ,
@job_name = @JobName,
@owner_login_name = sa,
@description etc, etc
Can anyone think why it would do this? An explanation of how sp_add_job works would also be much apprciated.

We recently downloaded and installed SQL Express as it was a required program for our new database management software. When trying to install my database management software I was asked to Login to the SQL server. I entered the SQLEXPRESS server, however, I do not have the SA password. When SQL Express installed it did not ask for a password only for a user name and company. I am running Windows Small Business Server with the Administrator and no password. We did not assign a password to the Administrator account yet.
I have tried to leave the password blank using the login SA and I get error message 28000 Login failed for user. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.
Is there a default password for SA? Or in the alternative, how do I create a user or associate an exising Windows user with a trusted SQL server connection?

I posted this topic and got not response, but I'm pretty desperate so I'll try one more time.
I'm a programmer at a small company but for the past year I've also been relagated to SysAdmin (fun, fun, fun). We less than 25 users (usually no more than 10-15 at one time). We run NT server on a P133, 64MB RAM, 3.5MB & 2.5MB SCUSI hard drives. We run SQL Server on dual P133's, 98MB RAM, 4MB & 2MB SCUSI hard drives. Our systems are pretty junky, they were bought at Microcenter a couple of years ago and some other machines we had bought about the same time have begun dying left and right. Our Server is very slow and we're afraid it's going to poop out on us soon.
I've been put in charge of taking care of this. "Get us a new server, and don't spend too much money." Being a programmer, not and administrator, I have a few questions:
1. Can I buy 1 good server to replace these two? That would mean running our NT File Server and our SQL Server (on NT of course) on the same box. Is that bad or can I do that? The only thing the NT Server is used for is file sharing (mostly images). No applications, no exchange (although maybe in the future), no internet. 2. If yes, should I go with a really fast desktop with a few ATA/66 drives, a smoking chip, tons of memory. Or, should I get a true server with SCUSI drives, ECC memory, RAID capable and all that. Essentially is it better to get a smoking desktop or a lower end/entry level server?
3. I don't quite understand RAID, do I need it? If so, what is it? We need to backup or data somehow.
4. Anything else you think I'll need? Or, could some list some minimum specs?
5. How much should this cost me?
Our main concern is the SQL Server running fast enough. We have a custom Accounting/Order/Inventory system (Access97-front/SQL-Back end ). The database is about 200MB and growing and the largest table has about 100,000 records and we anticipate about 20,000 records a year in that table. We also store tons of images (art company) on our file server and we would like to link our SQL inventory records to those image files.
I'm really kind of in over my head with the administration but the pressure is on. They want me to do this instead of outsourcing and they want to keep in the <=$3500 range (Server & Backup System). Any help or advice of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

How do I prevent someone from backing up the data / copying the mdf and then mounting it from a different server or instance to gain access to the DB.
I do not have control over the physical file.
Basically, I want to make sure that only authorized applications and users can access the data.

I have created a windows library control that accesses a local sql database
I tried the following strings for connecting
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Trusted_Connection = true"
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Integrated Security=SSPI"
I am not running the webpage in a virtual directory but in
C:Inetpubwwwrootusercontrol
and I have a simple index.html that tries to read from an sql db but throws
the error
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.PermissionSet.Demand()
at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.DemandPermission()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.PermissionDemand()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionFactory.PermissionDemand(DbConnection outerConnection)
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection,
etc etc
The action that failed was:
Demand
The type of the first permission that failed was:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
Trusted
I looked into the .net config utility but it says unrestricted and I tried adding it to the trusted internet zones in ie options security
I think that a windows form connecting to a sql database running in a webpage should be simple
to configure what am I missing?

I have written 5 content-management systems and am getting a little bored writing a lot of the same functionality and tweaking it for different datamodels. Is there a way within .NET to have visibility of a database's structure (ie, data type, column names, foreign keys etc)? I'd like to write up a dynamically generated form for any given table, displaying appropriate form controls based on data type and foreign keys.

Hi all!I have an application that needs to copy the database structure fromone database to another without using the "Generate SQL Script"function in Enterprise Manager. I'd like to do this from within astored procedure. Can someone recommend the best approach for this?I've seen references to using SQL-DMO from a stored procedure using thesp_OA* procs in other postings to this group but was wondering if therewas an easier way? Can I use bcp and then use xp_cmdshell from withinmy stored procedure? It's not clear to me from the documentationwhether bcp copies both structure and data or just data? Is there abetter way?Thanks in advance for any help!Karen

I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.
I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.
How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?
Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?

I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.
Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?
Thanks in advance for suggestions...!

I have several views in a database that I need to edit in SSMS 2008.
If I right click on a view, I can select "Design" and do the changes and save. Everything saves ok.
However, I cannot enter comments that way. I have tried View Script As -> ALTER To -> New Query Editor Window but this method creates a new view e.g. SQLQuery1 i.e. I can't save the origial view name.
Is there a way to alter views in code and save them back into the database under their original view name?

I inherited a WinCE.net application that uses SQL Server CE as the database. We use Visual Studio 2003 to write the program. Using the query analyzer on the device is difficult and I would much prefer to do my database views/research on my desktop. I could even copy the SDF over to the desktop, slice and dice it and then return it to the compact unit. But what do I need to have on my desktop so I can view these SDF files? Thanks.

Hi,
I found out that executing the procedure SP_INDEXOPTION and setting 'AllowRowLocks' to false i can prevent the sql server from locking rows in a table and 'AllowPageLocks' prevents from pages being locked. I need to preform same operation
in case of tables. I need to perform insertion operations concurrently and acquire required locks manually. Is there a way to stop sqlserver from acquiring locks on the table. I need to disable all the locks (row, page and table).
Thank you in advance.

Is it possible to purge all records in the database while retaining the the table structures. Even better yet, could I do it on a table by table basis? If I simply delete all the records the identities for the tables do not revert back to 1.

Why do i get the error message ?, is this related to Code Access Security issues with .net framework. if yes
how do i set the Security so the report server or report manager allows embedded custom code to be executed. Any advice ?
