Prior to our move to 2005...permissions were granted to developers by adding them to the following fixed database roles...db_ddladmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter, and db_securityadmin. They created their objects using 'dbo' as the owner.
After upgrading to 2005, suddently they are having difficulty accessing their objects with this same security. Do they need permissions on the dbo schema?
I have downloaded SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe and attempted to update to SP2 with no success.
SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition is installed on my computer as part of a Visual Studio 2005 installation.
When I try to run this package under my admin account, I get through the Feature Selection (selecting everything) to Authentication.
When I press the Test button or the Next button, I get "Your account information could not be verified. Press Ok to return to Authentication Mode screen to determine the reason for failure. For setup to verify your credentials the services must be startable, connectable, and you must be a SQL Server administrator."
The Authentication screen shows "Database Services, MSSQLSERVER, Windows, domainusername, Service Failed to Start"
I am a novice SQL Server user, Clearly I am floundering! Any observations, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Everyone,
Were looking from some feedback, thoughts, comments, suggestions on a permissions issue in our SQL Server 2005 environment. We have a Development (stand-alone server) and Production (activepassive cluster). Both running SP2. We're looking for the best way to manage permissions for the developers without giving them dbo privileges.
As background information, here's a note / response from a developer outlining the permission they need.
-----------------------------------------
"Our team needs enough permissions on DB database to:
Create and modify DB object such as tables, stored procedures, keys, triggers, views, ...
Be able to execute stored procedures and other basic DB objects
One of the issue I had when working on DatabaseA which was never resolved was that I could create tables, but had no rights to modify them once created.
I could modify them via scripts, but not via graphical interface which is a pain.
I think we should have full permissions to dev DB other than to drop DB, and modify system DB settings.
So that we can work within the created DB shell completely."
-----------------------------------------
Previous to supporting the current SQL Server 2005 environment, the developersapp owners had db_owner for their databases. Definitely not a best practice as with 2005 db_owner is ablke to delete databases. Moving away from this, we thought we would scale them back and only grant them the following database roles:
db_datareader
db_datawriter
db_ddladmin
With these roles, they were able to create the tables, views, stored procedures, etc...... but problems arose when they tried to modify the objects they created as well as execute stored procedures. It's going to be a pain to grant permissions on each stored procedure. More of a mystery is allowing them to make design changes within Studio Manager. Given they can already do this using scripts but not the GUI.
So there is an issue with using GUI tools to design the tables.
Here's a thread we found that tries to explain the reason why they can't use the GUI to make design changes.
Even if you have CREATE TABLE permission, there are limitations to the modifications you can make. Remember, as you modify an existing table or design a new one, your work can induce attendant modifications in other tables. For example, if you change the data type of a foreign-key column, the corresponding column in the primary-key table will be automatically modified by the Visual Database Tools. If you do not own the primary-key table, and you are not logged in as the system administrator, database owner, or a user that is a member of the db_owner role, your modification will fail.
When we created the accounts, we assigned the default schema to be 'dbo'. This was thought to simplify administration of the objects. In SQL Server 2000, this was a best practice. Now, in SQL Server 2005, they changed everything with the user schema separation.
So we have a developer (devuser) - created with default schema (dbo). Any object that are being created are owned by dbo. (ie... dbo.table1, dbo.storedproc1, etc..) So dbo owns the objects, not the user.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do we create a new schema and assign permissions? Do we create a new fixed database role for the developers? I'm curious as to how others are assigning permissions to developers on development and production servers.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi all,
What are the minimum permissions required by the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (UA)? I could not find it in the documentation.
Obviously being a local Administrators Windows group and a member of sysadmin SQL Server role will do the trick.
But will being a member of only the sysadmin SQL Server role be enough? I know that the UA does want to read the registry.
Running it under just sysadmin generates the following type of errors:
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
WINSOCKPROXY
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
FTUNSIGNEDCOMPONENTS
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
NETPROTOCOL
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
FTMULTIPLEINSTANCES
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
INVALIDNAMEDPIPE
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
FTCOMPONENTREG
Database Server
PreUpgrade
Requested registry access is not allowed.
FTACCTPASS
The issue then is whether these are significant or not. If the UA is only reading the registry to determine if SSAS, DTS, etc is installed then that is not important. But if it is affecting the end result because it cannot read critical information from the registry that is another matter.
TIA

I have both VSTS 2005 for Developers and VSTS 2005 for Database Professionals installed on my PC. I can't find any BI or SSIS projects in File->New Projects. The only database-related projects are to write Stored Procedures, Views, etc. Where is it? Did they break it when they added the Database version on top of the Developers version?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm working on upgrading VB6-based application to employ SQL Server 2005 Express (it currently uses MSDE). I'm using the following connection string -
Provider=SQLNCLI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=my_user;Password=my_password;Initial Catalog=my_database;Data Source=my_pc;Packet Size=8000
The application runs exceedingly slow. As soon as I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express edition and install SQL Server 2005 Developers edition speed increases in 5 to 10 times. Once I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Developers edition and install SQL Server 2005 Express edition the application's speed drops again.
I have repeated this "cycle" several times: install express -> running slow -> removed express, installed developers -> running fast -> removed developers, installed express -> running slow -> removed express, installed developers -> running fast, etc. etc. etc.
Some SQL2005-related articles I read stated that Express edition equals in performance to other editions. This turns out to be untrue.
Anybody please suggest any explanation to this misfortune.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I need to install Database services and I get the following error:
"The error was [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server] CAnnot alter the login 'sa', because it does not exist or you do not have permissions..."
Can you help me?
I have a problem. I am using the developers version of SQL Server Enterprise edition.
I am trying to run a command in MS command prompt:
Aspnet_regsql -E -S localhost -ssadd -sstype p
After I execute this command, I receive a Name Pipe
error that under the default settings, SQL Server
doesn't allow remote connections. I took some steps
to try to resolve the problem:
1) I googled the interrnet to see if there was any one
else who ran into the same problem and if there was a
quick resolution.
2) I check SQL Server Books on line about SQL server
configuration manager and how to enable remote
connections using Name Pipes and TCP/IP.
3) I used C:WINDOWSsystem32cliconfg.exe to enable
Name Pipes and TCPIP to be enable on the client.
4) I enabled SQl Server Browser to help me with my
problem
5) I stopped the Database engine, enable local and
remote connections using Name pipes and TCP/IP,then I
restarted the database engine along with SQl server
Agent.
6) I did check SQl Server error logs to see what port
it was listening on , but I thought that SQl Server
was suppose to listen on port 1433 by default, and
Name pipes /SQL/query.
7)I have check the error logs to see what port that SQL Server was listening to
and trying to use the port number in the client config utility. I am still getting the same error.
8) I tried to remove name pipes in the SQL Server Surface Manager and allow local and remote connections using only TCP/IP. I still get the same error. I did stop and restarted the Database Engine.
What steps have I not taken , and what should I do to correct this problem?
I've been coding for a few weeks now, building an ASP.NET application. ran the aspnet_regsql.exe wizard and it created my table and procedures correctly within the live SQL 2005 server being run by my host (ASPNIX.COM). I've been able to run my app just fine locally saving to my remote SQL server. However, now that I've moved my code onto my hosted server, my app stopped working. You would think this would "jus work" since I've been using the same SQL server throughout...BUT NOoooo! I've scoured the net trying to find any hint about what might be happening. The ONLY thing I've been able to find is a story in the May issue of asp.netPRO that says "Once the scripts have been executed, grant the user account used to access the database from the Web application Execute permissions on all the new stored procedures and Selection permissions on the views that were created"This may be my problem, but I haven't figured out how to accomplish this. Within the SQl Server Management Studio Express, I can pull up the properties of each stored procedure and place a check next to my "USER" account. However it does not appear to be saved.My symptoms at this point are:It will not log me in under accounts I'd already created.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a number of jobs which were backing up system and user databases under SQL 7 using SQL ServerAgent. Over the weekend I upgraded SQL 7 to SQL 2K.
All backups work except for one, which gets the following error message: Executed as user: SANDIEGOSvcSQLServer. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
As best as I know SQLSTATE 42000 is an ODBC message indicating a syntax violation or an access violation. I have recreated the maintenance plan in an attempt to rule out a syntax violation. During the upgrade process I did not change the account under which SQL Server Agent runs, so it seems like it should not be an access violation.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!!

I recently moved a database from a SQL server 2005 box to new server running SQL server 2012. The update/insert triggers that were working on the tables to handle referential integrity checking are no longer working. Running the same database on SQL Server 2008 and everything works.
Here is one of the trigger that throws the error 44446
USE
[M2Data]
GO
/****** Object:
Trigger [dbo].[tblContacts_UTrig] Script Date: 3/11/2014 9:07:13 AM ******/
SET
ANSI_NULLS ON
[code]....
I have verified that there is a matching key in tblCompanys. Also, when I run a query to update tblContacts the error message appears but the update does take. If I try and edit the row directly by selecting edit top 200 rows - the error message appears and the update does NOT take.
These triggers were probably added to the database during an upsize from MS Access to SQL Server 7 way back. What am I missing - is it something in the syntax?

This 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?

The logs showed the error occurred yesterday (4/28) which is about when I changed my password. The 17:09 log (last one) is when I shut down my computer. Note that I was logged into SQL Server when I changed my Windows password and worked with it several times through out the day.
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).
I upgraded to Sql Server Express 2005 w/Advanced Services, chose to install full-text indexing, rebooted, but appear to be unable to set up full-text indexing for a column. After attaching the old mdf file and opening any table in either Management Studio Express or Visual C# Express, I don't get anything but a disabled (Is Full-text Indexed) property for the fields I want to set up. I have verified that FullText Search service is running, and have tried restarting the service. I have also checked that full-text indexing is enabled on the database.
I just feel like I am missing some simple step. Any info would be welcome.
hi
I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.
I am out of brain cells. I can not figure out how to upgrade instances of sql express to sql 2005 or even add an instance of sql 2005. I have installed/upgraded everything else (SSMS, etc.) to SQL 2005.

Where do I start in figuring this debacle out???
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.

I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer
ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.

I've been reading and looking over what to do for my situation for several days. I need to ask and see if I can get a clear answer.
My Scenario:
I have a SQL Server 2005 Eval installed that is currently running with live data. I need to upgrade that to a recently-purchased full version. I have several databases set up. I have ready the article 914158 that states it will fail. It's still running so I can access everything. If I restart or stop the service I'm screwed.
That do I do?
Thanks so much!
Can we upgrade from Express 2005 to Standard/Workgroup 2005??If possible with what complexities can it be done??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am update/inserting records threw a web form in vb.net. I need to insert 'NULL' into my microsoft sql server database. I am not talking about the below line of code where website is the name of my paramater. If i do that it will just place a blank into that field in the database. If i dont enter anything into that textbox I want it to to say NULL in that field. So if I go into the actual table in the SQL Server Management Studio and look at the website field of the recored I just added or updated and did not type anything into the web site textbox it needs to say NULL. I also tried the second line of code but that places a single quote in front and behind NULL. So the field will have the value 'NULL'.
website.value = txtwebsite.text.tostirng
if txtwebsite.text ="" then
website.value ="NULL"
end if
The reason why I need the NULL there is because I bind the website filed to a hyperlink template in a gridview. The actual text of the hyperlink is bound to PAYER which is a name of a insurance payer but the navigateto is bound to the website field. If i do not enter any data into the website field and it stays as NULL, then when my gridview is loaded, payers that dont have a website will not be underlined and user wont have the option to click on them since there is no value for the navigateto. But if i use my form to update/add a payer and leave the website textbox blank in puts a blank into that field in my database and when it loads that new row into the gridview the PAYER is underlined and u can click on it but it will just take u to the web site is unavailable page. So is there anyway to actaull have NULL placed into a filed and not just blank space
