View 1 Replies View RelatedMy clients hosting company does not allow any direct interaction with SQL Server ie no Enterprise Manager/ Query Analyser access!
Are there any free web pages that i can download and then host on the clients server that allow me to create tables and stored procedures simply without writing a script for everything?

Our client is asking to display the 'parameter panel in right side of the report' insted of top.
how can I do this?
I have a gridview that is tied to a SQLDataSource control which is inside an update panel.
What I'm trying to accomplish is when the page is loaded the gridview is filled from the SQLDataSource. I have some textboxes also on the page so that the user can add new items to the gridview. The update panel trigger is tied to my code behind page through a button click which added the new data to the DB with an INSERT statement. Since the gridview was inside the update panel I thought when I placed the new data into the DB and the update panel caused the portion of the page that holds the gridview to refresh that the gridview would show the newly added data but it is not.
I am missing something but I do not know what. I tried adding a gridview1.databind() and SQLDataSource1.DataBind() but niether caused the update of the gridview as I had hoped.
Thanks for any of your help.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've a slight problem with configuring my Report Server. I have set up everything apart from the initialisation and and the Windows Service Identity, however when I select the panel for the latter I am presented with a message box displaying the following:
" Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
There was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an error retreiving WMI properties. The exception details are:
InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'SelectedIndex'.
Parameter name: SelectedIndex "
I have tried re-installing the entire SQL server setup and this made no difference, I followed this by removing then reinstalling just the Report Service. Still nothing.
Any ideas as to what it is doing and how I should go about fixing it?

Hi all,
I tried to remove AdventureWorksDB in the "Add or Remove Programs" of Contol Panel and I got the following errors: (1) AdventureWorksDB Error 1326: Error getting file security: CProgram FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL1MSSQLGetLastError: 5. |OK| and (2) Add or Remove Programs Fatal Error during installation (after I clicked the |OK| button). Please help and tell me how I can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,

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.
We are using Win2k3 R2 with SQL 2000 in a domain environment.
Is it possible to create a domain group to grant admin level and user level access to SQL2000/2005 without giving users server admin or domain admin access?
It has always been my impression that to have admin access to SQL that you had to at least had admin level access on the server.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Does anyone know of a web based front end to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition? I tried using the SQL Server 2000 server web admin tool from microsoft, but it will not allow me to install it because it says it need the 1.1... framework installed. I have 1.0,1.1,and 2.0 installed, is there anyway to circumvent this? Or has anyone else figured another way to get the webadmin tool to work with 2005 express edition.
Thanks!
Hi,
I've been having trouble getting this tool to work with my server/database. I'm using XP Pro, MSDE, .NET 1.1.4322 and IIS 5.1. IIS has been installed and tested with the help of others. .asp pages are being served locally and to another PC on the network. No obvious problem here. When I installed MSDE I used the SAPWD='strongpassword" command to create a password. I also built a new database. I had positive feedback on both of these actions.
Now to the tool - when I activate the administrator it pops with the little window saying Web Server Configuration. It lists the following options:
Desired Port:
IIS
Cassini Personal Web Server
Restore Faults
and Start and Stop buttons.
If I leave the setting on IIS and click Start it opens a webpage entitled Web Data Administrator. Moving further down I have a welcome message and then the line -
Please enter a SQL Server name:
Username: [Desktopob shadowed entry]
Password
Server (local)
Authentication Method:
Windows Intergrated
SQl Login
and then a Login button
If I select SQL Login and enter "sa" as the username and then my password leaving (local) as the server I get the following error:
Invalid username and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist.
I have tried all combination of \desktopsa, sa, you name it. The password I selected is correct because I made a point of writing it down so I wouldn't forget it. I have also tried all the combos using Cassini as well.
This is where I'm stuck at this point. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
Is there a web based admin to administer MS SQL? If there is a free one, that would be better.

I am fairly new to SQL server admin.
What sort of wages are paid for this type of work.
Is there a shortage skilled administators in this area?

Hi Guys
I have just been trying to install the Admin tools from the SQL 6.5 setup CD on a Win NT Workstation 4 SP6 system. Everything seems to go fine until the icons are addded into the program group, these come up as system default icons and don't link to any programs. If I go into the installed directory and execute the programs then I get the following message:
The SQLOLE OLE object could not be registered. Class not registered (80040154)
After clicking OK the program terminates. I have tried diferent install directories, even diferent partitions. I have also deleted the directory and removed the Registry entries manual - this is because it cannot be uninstalled.
Still no luck.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

A couple of newbie questions:
1) Do Domain Admins have SA rights by default in SQL7? If so, is there a way to keep domain admins out of particular databases.
2) Is it possible to create a database or table that even SA can't get into?
Thanks

Has anyone who has taken and passed the SQL 7.0 test for SQL Admin
have any recommendations on the best sources to help pass?
Any recommendations on a good SQL 7.0 Systems Admin book for future DBAs? Too many books at the store, so i'm wondering how i can narrow it down. I'm looking more for the Admin side rather than developer side type book. Thanks.

Hi
Here is a mcdba admin question
Consider the following time line:
8:00 You accomplish the full database backup.
8:10 User1 enters the order 53 for customer 10, whose name in the database is
XXXXX (I
can't remember, but not Bill Smith)
8:12 User2 at remote server changes the name XXXXX to YYYYY
8:13 User3 changes the name YYYYY to ZZZZZ
8:14 User3 commit the transaction.
8:20 Media fails for database.
8:30 You restore the database from 8:00 backup. What is the status of the order
53 in the
database?
a) The order 53 is not in the database.
b) The order 53 is in the database and name is XXXXX.
c) The order 53 is in the database and name is YYYYY.
d) The order 53 is in the database and name is ZZZZZ.
Ans: B The name was already there.
The answer is B but I think th answer is A
becouse He or Her restroe the database from 8:00
I think the 53 order maked after 8:00 so
there is not order 53 in the backup database
How about you think and why !!!
Thanks kjs
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?
Can anyone tell me whether there is any way to automatically genereate SQL script for all SQL jobs on a server?
I need to create the script for about 30 jobs and dont want to spend hours getting RSI clicking on each one and exporting the script if i can avoid it!!!!
TIA
