View 3 RepliesMy hosting company will give me a user with db_ddlAdmin how do I change my current database which has all the tables,store procedures and views owned by dbo.
I've used a few sql scripts to change the owner using
Exec sp_changeobjectowner 'object', 'user'
and I've used
Grant Execute on object to user
These have changed ownership but the site still doesn't work
Does anyone know what to do to achieve this.
Any help greatly appreciated
Many Thanks

I have a SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?
Hello All, i am trying to create a normal ASP.NET application using VS2005. Yesterday i was adding tables.. entering data from within "View Table Data" tab, but today i am unable to do any data insertion or updating except by entering the insert or update statement by hand. When updating data of existing record or trying to add new data, it reports that "Cell is readonly!". I did not modify any settings or configuration and actually did nothing to set it to readonly! I am quite confused to be honest and writing sql statements by hand is kinda time consuming for me if i want to update a single field. What can i do to re-enable data modifications from VS2005 without reporting readonly? Thanks,Rakan
View 1 Replies View RelatedI must release a new Db on 4/1 into an isolated small network (pier workgroup) and my choices are MSDE or Express. I'm new to both (MSDE yesterday, Express today). I am familiar with SQL Server and prefer using the tools with Express, but is it stable enough to use in this type of production environment?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI will be hosting my website in the next few months and doing more testing and I was having trouble finding a place to host the site that allows enough space for my sqlserver2005 database. I am estimating that the database will be around 40-50GB. Most hosting companies only give about 500MB for the database. Does anyone know of a company that provides more space? Also, is SQL Express production ready, or is it just for developing applications? If it is production ready, is there any "major" performace impact in using it over the full version. The reason I am asking is because hosting companies only give 500MB for a database, but alot more space for the web page. If I can put the SQLExpress file in the App_Data folder, then I will have more space. Does this even sound like it will work? Opinions are appreciated!

Is SQL Server 2005 mirroring production ready yet. We have two servers and plan to set up mirroring between them. We have the Standard Editon installed on them.
Is Standard Edition sufficient or does it need Enterprise Edition?
Thanks in Advance,

I just set up a server with Windows 2003 Standard x64. I have a copy of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition that I got from the Microsoft Launch event. On the back of the case, it gives version requirements for both the x86 and x64 versions. When I went to install it, it didn't ask me which one I wanted to install. When I look on the CD, I see different installers for x86 and x64 for various pre-requisites, like MSXML. As I'm installing SQL Server I see that it is installing most things to "C:Program Files (x86)" which is where 32-bit programs go.. I decided to let it finish. Most of the binaries and everything, include sqlservr.exe, are in the Program Files (x86) folder, but it did install a few things in Program Files, so it must be aware of the difference.
I checked task manager and, I see that the sqlservr.exe and SQLAGENT90.exe are NOT 32-bit processes. So, great, they're running natively in 64-bit mode! But when I look at the server options in SQL Server Management Studio, the patform is listed as NT INTEL X86. The memory page also shows an option to use AWE which according to the documentation is only available and relevant to 32-bit installations.
SO I'm pretty confused. Almost everything points to this being an x86 installation, but the running processes are running natively in x64. Does anyone know what's going on here?
I just tried to run the x64 version of SP1 for SQL 2005, and it told me that it cannot update x86 products, so I guess that clinches it. I'm still pretty confused and annoyed though. If this isn't x64, how can I get an x64 version of the same product, and will my license key work?
We are using SQL Server CE 3. So far, the product gets an A for ease of installation and its ability to deal with complex queries and but fails in a number of other areas. This is causing mjor project overruns.
1. Speed is a major concern. Small simple queries take an unreasonable tme to execute. This has required fundamental changes to current design patterms and a major re-write.
2. Bugs: Set identity_insert tablename on: tablename appears to be case sensitive (10 hours to track this beasty down)
3 Vista seems to have its own issues - refusing to cast fieldnames for simple column names
eg 'Select UID as DepositID ...' returns a "DepositID" under Windows XP but returns "UID" under Windows Vista.
Does this mean there is a different engine operating in the Vista environment. [I have since tracked this to a quirk in the SDAC interface ]
All this in a product we are intending to ship in the near future.
Ar others having these / similar problems?
Is there a register of known issues and workarounds?
Is the product under active repair / development ?
Why is behaviour different under Vista?
I created a little test application with SQL server. After everything was tested successfully I builded a setup file with Installshield. I installed the setup file on a different mashine. Everything runs without problems, but when I make entries to the database and I reopen the application no entry is saved. I am new to SQL server.
thx for any help
I am getting alerts as Availability group not ready for automatic failover , how to check and resolve the issue ?
How to check the databases status whether they are in sync unsync in High availability ?
We're using ADO disconnected recordsets. On SQL 2000, we could update these on the client (without propagating the changes to the server) even if the underlying view or table was non-updatable.
When running our apps against SQL 2005 (using the same client-side environment), we can no longer change any attributes of those disconnected recordsets, that connect to a non-updatable database object (the rest of the app runs fine, we can update all updatable database objects through disconnected recordsets) . Does SQL 2005 respond to such calls differently from SQL 2000, so that ADO recordsets are built in a new way (which makes them read-only in our setting)?
Thanks for any suggestions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,Is the multiple instances capability of SQL2K mature enough for aProduction system?We're looking at upgrading our hardware but the proposed solutioncalls for consolidating two currently separate SQL Server's onto onemachine with two CPU's.Of the current two servers, one is for OLTP (~800Mb) and the other forreporting (some ad-hoc, some canned queries, 2-3Gb). We purge the OLTPdb nightly and archive the purged data in the reporting server whereit stays for a couple of months before getting purged from there.Maybe I'm being overly cautious here but the OLTP system is especiallytime-sensitive. If anything causes it to slow down significantly welose $$$.Thanks,Martin V.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot understand how this was allowed to happen, but I can recreate the situation all day long. Someone, please tell me that I have missed an obvious solution to this;
With a fresh install of SQL 2005 Express (SP2) I have 4 databases installed and two service-based applications running. One of the service applications uses/requires three of the four databases and the second service application uses/requires the fourth database.
On boot, with the above described services set to depend on SQL Server service startup I get repeated failures on initial database access. Looking at the event log reveals why (in sequence):
SQL Server Startup...
Event: Server local connection provider is ready to accept connection on...
Event: Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on...
Event: Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1911]
Application Service Startup...
Event: SQL Server is not ready to accept new client connections. Wait a few minutes before trying again. If you have access to the error log, look for the informational message that indicates that SQL Server is ready before trying to connect again
Moments Later:
Event: SQL Server is now ready for client connections. This is an informational message; no user action is required.
Now, its clear that the SQL service has started, and that this opens the floodgates for dependant services to start, each of which is told - essentially - to go away and come back once the SQL server has **really** started. With the accompanying suggestion to 'look for the informational message that indicates that SQL Server is ready' in the event log.
Am I reading the situation right so far?
In response to this, with my developer way of thinking, I could probably script the startup of application services rather than have them start automatically at boot or some such insane idea. But its not really the way that I had planned to spend the next few hours of my life, and it seems to me that I should not have to do such a thing.
Our in house service application (one of the two described) is in fact robust enough (just enough) to survive and to try the connection periodically, accomplishing a successful startup even with no database available.
The second of the two services is external and is unfortunately unable to start with no database available (Business Objects XI CMS). The normal means of making this service robust against database outages is the service restart procedure setting. But since the service doesnt ever start successfully, this doesnt work (learn something new every day - the restart is literal. It does not provide an initial startup retry and the service must have been started and fail for the retry to kick in)
Now, im not trying to bash anyone over this situation and regardless of the inflexible nature of the external service application and the general sillyness of the SQL server startup sequence - i mean c'mon... we are started but not ready? How about dont report startup until after you are ready? - the end result is that I need to come up with a solution to this problem.
I cant imagine that this is the first time that this behaviour has been questioned and I have to believe that there will be a simple, reliable workaround. I will keep looking for myself, but if any of this sounds familiar and you have a suggestion, your response will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have a package which reads an XML file from a certain folder and parses it.
I deployed my package onto the server. Copied XML files on the D: drive the following folder on the server.
Dim reader As New Xml.XmlTextReader("D:AppsRequestClientsClientsStatus.xml") is fine.
But
Do While (reader.Read())
generates "The Device is not ready"
I think it is still trying to read it from my desktop on which I don't have a D drive.
Any help is appreciated.
When I execute the following transaction log backup TSQL in SSMS
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn';
I get this error:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot open backup device 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn'. Operating system error 21(The device is not ready.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
I also have a daily database backup job that puts the backup file under this directory.
D:Database_BackupData
So I changed the path to this and it still fails.
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupDataProductDB.trn';
However if I change it to this path, it works:
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'MyServerDataProductDB.trn';
This turns out to be the path I used a few weeks back when I backed up the log for the very first time. But I now wanted to store my transaction log backups in D:Database_BackupTrans.
1. Created a database with a couple of tables with no data.
2. Taken a full database backup - db.bak.
3. Deleted the database.
4. Restored the database db.bak and filled the tables with some data.
5. Taken log backup - dblog.trn
BACKUP LOG <dbname> to DISK='D:Demodblog.trn' WITH NO_TRUNCATE, INIT
6. Dropped the database again.
7. Restored the database again from db.bak.
8. But when I am trying to restore log file dblog.trn on this database, i keep getting this error :
The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Hi folks
I attended one of the SQL Server 2005 "Ready to Launch" parties a couple of years ago and was given a complimentary SQL Server Standard Edition CAL along with a copy of the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup DVD.
As there's no mention in the "Ready to Launch" pack of an included Server license I was wondering whether it is possible to install a copy of SQL Server 2005 on a standalone server and use the single CAL in a Production environment without having to purchase a Server license? The pack does include a Product Key - is this the Server license?
Thanks
Chris
Hi, I attended the Technet Ready to Launch event and obtained the dvd set, but when I tried to install the sql product, the software won't take the product key (the key is the same as the studio product). Anyone experience the same?
View 16 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Can anyone give me a ready-made sample script to display a search reslut from a database?
My intention is to give a dynamic web page for the search in the BookStore website.
The result will show the following:-
First the picture of the book.
To the right of it, 'Title' field, below that, 'description' field
It should be created programatically as the contents are in the database.
I tried several ways, but could not succeed. I have the BookID, Title, BookPicture, and the Description fields
Thanking you in advance,

Can someone at Microsoft comment on this article, specifically, how it relates to SQL Replication? Will SQL Replication fall into the category of what this article describes, or only the mirroring feature?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI missed the ability to restore based on a time (10/23 6pm) due to our purge cycle in our production environment, but I was able to obtain the 10/18 full backup, the 10/23 differential backup, and the 4, 10/23 trans. log backups.

How do you make a live link in SQL 7 to another database? I currently do such
things in Access 97 but how do you do it in SQL? I just want to keep a permanent live link to a table in another database.
Thank you in advance.

I am looking for a good introduction into the handling of certificates in SQL 2005.
I need to sign a procedure to allow it to access a dm view.
I do understand the theory and the syntax, but I have trouble coming up with an easy but still secure way to create these certificates on all customer servers without allowing misuse.
All articles I could find are going through creating a new database, setting up a certificate with or without password, signing an example proc and then dropping the database.
Non seems to care about the problems that occur later on during the life of a certificate.
Thanks
Hi:I have a site that is getting close to production. I am using SQL Server 2005 express and VWD express. Up to this point, I have been updating the live server by deleting the file and copying the MDF file from my development machine in its place. This clearly won't work once the site goes live - but I still expect to be doing a lot of upgrading of stored procedures etc. Can someone point me to a resource or make any suggestions that would help me in this regard?Thanks,Roger Swetnam

I need to create a DB version upgrade schema on client site that will preserve the existing data.
Provide the user with a patch that he can run on his database that wiil apply changes to his DB structure and keep the old data.
One approach that I am thinking of is to create a differential DB patch - a and apply that to the client database.
Is there any strategy any algorithm to do that. Can it be automated?
If there any accomplishments or approaches known on the subject?
I would greatly appreciate any ideas you can come up with.

I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?
