When I a set of databases from backup all login information is lost. The front end of the application provides a way to create new users, but it is a very long process. I am looking for a script or stored procedure that will help attach the users to the database.
View 3 RepliesI backed up and restored a database successfully except for the users. The only user that shows is dbo, but I can't add a user with the proper user name from my old server; I get the error that the user or role already exists in the current database.
When I go to role, name of public, there is the user I need to add. I can't remove it as it's a table owner, but I need to add it to the list of users, so I need to remove it then re-add it.
I tried using EXEC sp_changeobjectowner to no avail.
Thanks for any help/guidance.
Hi all, plz help...

The problem is when I back-up my DB from my PC and restore it to my server; the logins doesn't work anymore. I mean the user I've created on my PC can't login on the website on the internet...
Thanks a lot...
I am doing a complete backup on a sql 7 db and then doing a completerestore (with overwrite existing db) on a sql 2000 server. This is nowour hot standby server. I have the process automated and it worksgreat. The only problem I have now is the logins dont work.I have tried running EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Report', and thelogins appear.However, when I run EXEC sp_helplogins 'joe', the results are empty.So, I am guessing all I need is a sp that will re-associate my loginswith the correct db and grant the appropriate permissions.If anyone has any ideas that would be great.I have also considered doing a log ship instead of a full backup andrestore. Does anyone have any suggections or good examples of how tomake that happen?Thanx
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
Hello,
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem?
Please, help
Thanks
I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service.
When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include:
Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts.
SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names.
We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login.
I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login.
And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done.
How do you associate db users with a Windows login?
When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
Hope this all makes sense.
Hello EveryoneI am in the process of creating a web application that will allow me to have one place to go to see all of my SQL Databases. I would like to have one of the pages that showed the current status, or maybe next to the name of the server, have the status listed.I know how to create a database connection string using the web.config But I will need to have a query that loops thru a list of database server names, and each of them returning the status. Being able to connect, query the status of the server, show the status of each database. My database connection string will only log into one database. How can I code this to be able to loop thru the list of stored database server names, and then be able to log into each database server?Can I use a separate class with a method, and pass in the name of the server? That means that I would have to have the same user name on all the database servers, wouldn't I ?I am looking for a way to accomplish this. I am open to suggestions. I am coding my web app using C#. ThanksAndrew SQLDBA

I can't figure out what the purpose of having seperate users is as I can't actually login to the database using one.
Here is my scenario.
I have a single login called LoginA and I have a database which I want to carve up using schema's. At the database level I need to create a user, associate a login with this user and can set a default schema and specifiy what schemas this USER can access. The login created can access multiple schemas.
So..
I created a database login called loginA.
I created a user for the database called UserA set it's login name to LoginA and
I then created 3 schemas called SchemaA, SchemaB and SchemaC and set their schema owner name to UserA.
I went back to UserA and set their default Schema to SchemaA
How can I login using the new user created as it has no password associated with it. If I login using LoginA then I have no default Schema set becuase the schema is associated with a USER not a LOGIN.
I can understand why you can only have one login account assicated with one user account for each database but I can;t understand why you can specify a user name if you can't use it to login.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
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.
I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:
SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)
I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.
Hi,
We are running MSSQL 2000 on a reasonably powerful dedicated Win2k system Dual 2.4 Xeon Procs, 2 GB of RAM, Ultra 160 SCSI disks.. blah blah blah.
Our primary use this database server is for our Coldfusion Application servers. We host about 50 or so databases.
Of late, we have been experiencing random failed logins for certain databases. These failed logins are logged to the event log on the server. They randomly; queries executed against a datasource configured on our application servers trying to get data from the database fail with a login failure when other times they will succeed. I am confused about this issue. Could an issue where the SQL Server is overloaded cause a login failure for a database?

Does anyone have a script already which pulls all the logins and what databases they have public/dbo access to? I'm looking for something more than just pulling syslogins/users and their default dbname, I need a list of all the databases they have dbo access to.
Thanks, Jim
Hi I took a Full Backup on Production Server and Restored the Same Database on Testing Server, i am able to see all the Tables Stored Procedure and View except Logins, i am not able to see any logins, there are total 650 Logins under the Database how can i see the logins and how to restore the logins, while i am trying to create any logins it is saying Error Occured login is already existing in the Database..

We have a particular database sat on SQL Server 2012 box along with about 20 other databases.
What I require is a method/Script/Audit that will simply track anyone who logs (successfully / unsuccessful) into this one particular database on the server (The single database is the key as the end user does not want information on any of the other databases that sit on the server), it also has to log time the attempt was made and it must track the logins via SQL Server or the application itself that is attached to the database.
I use detach/attach method to move database to a new SQL Server 7 on MSCS. The security information was lost in the new server. Database Access permission was gone and I failed to select it again because message showed the database role is already exist. The default databases were also posted incorrectly. Would you please to tell me how to fix this type of peoblem or let me know how to move the login info such as login id, password, database permisson to the new server which locates in a different machine.
Thank you very much.

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.
I am working on a Login migration issue. I have the Master database from the original database, that I have attached as a User Database, call it OriginalMaster. I also renamed the mdf and ldf files, before attaching, just in case.
I want to select the logins from the OriginalMaster, and using sp_help_revlogin script all the Logins out. I know there were many logins in that database. But what I am seeing, are all the Logins from the Current Master database. Which are only 7 Logins.
How can I select the logins, or script out the Logins from the OriginalMaster database?
Our company has 2 Database Roles (DBE and DBA). The DBE creates
database schema, performs SQL Server Administration, and manages server
security. The DBA writes data access, ETL, and manages database
security. In 2005, we're struggling with how to allow the DBA to see
all of the logins on the server in order to add them as users of their
database. What permissions does the DBA need to select from any of the
logins on the server to add them to their database?
Michelle
Hi there,
Does anyone know a way (a query perhaps?) to determine which logins have write permissions to a specific database on SQL Server 2005? Ive thought about joining sys.syslogins & sys.sysusers but looking at the columns, not sure which one would render me that info.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks!
what is maximum no. of concurrent Logins Possible on a SQL server 2005 Database?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of implementing database mirroring. I am trying to get an understanding about manageable ways of keeping sql user logins synced between instances.
I have looked at KB918992 which makes sense for the initial intallation, but what about keeping passwords synced in the long-term. I don't want to have to manually set a users password on the failover every time they change it.
How is everyone else accomplishing this using sql logins (not windows auth)? Pointers to articles and/or documentation would be great.
Thanks.
I have a Subscriber database updated using transactional
replication and want to create a copy for development & testing. The Distribution database is running on the
same 2005 instance as the Subscriber and the Publication database on another
server running SQL Server 2005.
If I use a TSQL script to run the restore, the database is
restored to a usable state but I get the following messages:
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_MSrepl_check_job_access, Line 112
User does not have permission to perform this action.
The replication agent job [job name] was not removed because
it has a non-standard name; manually remove the job when it is no longer in use.
(I€™ve removed the job name from the message)
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 46219 pages in
935.413 seconds (0.404 MB/sec).
It looks like an attempt is being made to restore
replication information too. I note that
the RESTORE statement has a KEEP_REPLICATION options which implies (I would have
thought) that by default the replication information is not be restored.
Incidentally, before implementing replication, backing up
the live database and restoring the backup to a new database took < 7
minutes but running the same process with a Subscriber database backup takes
about 15 minutes.
I€™d be interested to know if anyone has any idea what I€™m
overlooking or doing wrong.
ThanksTim
Hi All,
I have just migrated couple of test databases
from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 (side by side).
I also migrated the server level logins using SSIS transfer logins task, available on SSIS 'Transfer logins', I selected all the databases that I have migrated so that I have all database users account in server logins (to avoid orphaned users); but I don't have all the database users in server logins, also the sys.sysusers doesn't have the database users, that I have moved to SQL 2005. Can anybody help?
Also do I need to back up the SQL Server 2000 database and restore it on SQL 2005? What impact this operation can have?
Thanks for your time..

1) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?
2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?
I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi there...
can any one help in following situation.
Suppose in a network I have two sql server ABC and XYZ and XXX (NT server) on same sub net.
1) I take a backup from server ABC on XXX (NT).(ie.. backup on network)
2) Can I restore database in XYZ which was backed up by ABC? How???
3) Suppose My ABC machines fails and I have to again install SQL Server 7 on it, will I be able to restore database from XXX(NT)? how???

Currently have large database in three devices, named Cabinet cab2 and cab3. Cab3 device has been expanded twice. We are upgrading the hardware and would like to get the database into one device named cabinet and clean the mess up our vendor initially created for us. Any Ideas/steps on how this could be accomplished??? TKS Jerry
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing SQL 7.0, has anyone backed up a database and restored on to a different database without the device files being moved around.
For example, With SQL 6.5 we used to backup PROD (source) database and restore to TRAIN (target) database. It worked just great regardless whether the databases are located on the same drive or not. We loved it and used it to refresh TRAIN from PROD on a weekly basis.(using sql Enterprise Mgr)
However, in SQL 7.0 when we attempt this procedure the database and log files of the TRAIN (target) are getting relocated to the drive location of PROD (source) database. Very strange.
Though thru object transfer i.e. import ,we can import data from PROD(source)
to TRAIN (target) database, but it is very slow and takes lot of time and performance degrades for source database (PROD)
Any input on above will be appreciated if backup / restore thru
enterprise mgr or TSQL procedure works in SQL 7.0 for restoring another database which is also on different drive i.e PROD (source) database on
drive C and TRIAN (target) database on drive E.
Thanks

While this may be in the wrong forum, I thought that I should try here first.
One of the developers that works for this company would like to restore a sample database to the SQL server after installing our software.
Is there a command line command that can be issued to restore/create a database with a file (.bak) of an SQL database (sample)? If this can't be done, can it be done with VBScript or something similar?
SQL is not my strong point, and neither is development. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

Hi,
Two of my hard drives went down yesterday. and with it went the Sql server database.The data recovery guys recovered the back up database (.bak) file.I have since reinstalled SQL Server 2000 and now when i try and restore the .bak file it says the Microsoft tape back up file set is not valid when i try and open the .bak file.
Whats the right way to add my databse to the SQl Server2000 using my .bak file and if anyone has come across the error they could help.
Thanks

hey...
when i try to restore my database... they gave an error. the database is still in use.. is there a way to kill all the connections to that database ?
