Guys!
I'm using SQL Mail to send out Emails to Customers re: outstanding Invoices. I also use SQL Mail on the same box to send out emails to our Sales Reps with summaries of outstanding invoices. Now, I've set up multiple outlook profiles on the server. I tried using
DOES NOT WORK!!! the profile does'nt switch at all. SQL Mail sends out all the emails using the profile that it started with. How can I use xp_startmail and xp_stopmail to switch between different user profiles.
xp_startmail is documented as returning two code: 0 success, 1 failure.It would be nice to check the return code.When mail has already been started it returns a 1. This case appearsindistinguishable from a failure to start. (MSFT should have providedseparate return codes for failure-already started, and failure-cannotstart, but they did not.)Does anyone know how to distinguish these cases. Text is printedindicating that it has already been started but I don't know how toprogrammatically grab this case.It seems the conventional workaround is not to check the return code atall (or to start mail once at server startup and never start it again).Neither is ideal.Suggestions?Thanks,Mark Andersen
I am having this issue with my application developed in VB.Net. The thing was working properly for the last couple of years. But suddenly it is giving me this error message when ever I try to execute the following code.
mycommand = New SqlCommand(sqlstr, SqlConnection1)
SqlConnection1.Open()
mycommand.ExecuteReader()
The operation is never related to sending e-mail and even the master Database, it is used just to display records on grid.
Here is the error message comeing out when it reaches the mycommand.ExecuteReader():
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_startmail', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.
I've created a website using Microsoft's built-in profile/membership system. I'm used to referring to these elements without actually having to interact with the underlying tables. Thus, I type:Profile.UserName when I want a users UserName rather than querying the database manually.Now, I need to create a scheduled job in SQL that sends emails out based upon user preferences specified under Profile. Is there a way to use Profile within SQL Server 2005?David.
HiI'm trying to make a transaction with the TransactionScope class and if I modify a profile and call ProfileBase.Save(), it throws an exception with the message: "MSDTC is unavailable".thanks
Hi folks I have a section in my networking site where people can write things about themselves, such as likes dislikes, hobbies etc for their profile. I am looking to provide a very basic profile matching service, and have done a bit of searching to find out what the best way to approach this feature is. I have looked at using the sql LIKE clause, but since the profile information can be any length, there seem to be too many variables to account for. I have also looked at identifying keywords in profile blurbs to do the matching too, but I am struggling to see how this could be done with relative ease. My reason for posting this is simply to get some experienced knowledge about where to start the problem, of even some resources to look at that I may not have found yet. If anyone could give me some advice on where to start i would be very grateful I am develping in vb, with an sql server 2005 back-end
Hi, I want to configure SQL Server 2005 Express to work with profiles and that kind of ASP.NET 2.0 things :) The problem is, when I run aspnet_regsql.exe I can't get a list of databases, and when I manually enter the database name, I get the same error."(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)" I've enabled the named pipes and tcp/ip connections in the Server Configuration Manager.I've also tried multiple logins. I run the sql server locally.I can connect with my website to it, I can use the Management Studio Express (with win auth). But I can't get those tables configured :( Anybody got an idea? Thanks in advance.
Users have to answer 17 simple yes/no questions and the answers are stored in an column for each question as tinyint 0/1 values.
At least that's what seems reasonable to me at the moment.
The table is under my control so I could change it if needed.
Now from several tenthousend or maybe hundreds of thousends of entries I need to find those with the closest match. Of course, I need all of the entries that have the exact same answers and this is no problem. But - at least if there are not enough full matches - then I need all records that have maybe 16,15,14... matches out of the 17 answers.
I have not yet the idea on how to handle this without quering 17*16 different answer schemes.
Hi Everyone, I have an e-commerce site that uses Profiles in ASP.NET 2.0 to store items in a shopping cart. The problem is that we are now using LDAP authentication, so we are getting rid of the ASPNETDB membership database that stores the profile values. How can get the shopping cart functionalty to work with SQL Server 2005? How can I store the profile object in a SQL Server instead of the ASP.NET memberships database? Here is the profile field: <profile enabled="true"> <properties> <add name="Cart" serializeAs="Binary" type="Commerce.ShoppingCart" allowAnonymous="true"/> </properties> </profile>
Scenario:DBMS: SQL Server 2000OS: Windows Server 2003Goal:Enable SQLMAIL via Internet MailProblem:How do I set up the MAPI profile for the SQL Server service account?On Windows 2000 Server, I can use "Control Panel"/"Mail" tocreate a MAPI profile for the SQL Server service account, and thenreference that profile for SQLMAIL in SQL Server and SQL Server Agent.But on Windows Server 2003, there is no "Mail" applet in "Control Panel".How do I create a MAPI profile, for the SQL Server service account,on Windows Server 2003?
At the moment my asp.net app is working ok and I can connect to the database using windows authentication, however i'm trying to use sql authentication on my local computer.i'm using sql server studio at the moment to manage the database. And tried numerious combinations of things to try and get it working and allow me to connect to the database using SQL authentication but still no luck :(can anyone give me some rough step by step instructions to setting up the sql username and password for forms authentication and activating it for a certain database?thanks
If I have a connection open which is in database master, can I switch to another database within that connection without having to close the connection and recreating it?
If I dump a replicated Db and restore it onto another DB, how do I switch off replication from the restored DB. I believe there were some scripts developed for this in 6.5.
We have an active database that sits on SQL Server 2000 that currently has per seat license...but now want to switch to per processor. If I go to ControlSQL Server 2000 License Set up...it doe not give me the option to choose per processor.
Do I need to un-install/re-install SQL Server 2000 and choose the per processor choice and then re-attach our database ?
I sometimes have problems when running index rebuilds due to the tran log growing too big. MS suggest switching the db from full recovery mode to bulk-logged mode fur the duration of the rebuild. Question is, when you switch a db from full recovery to bulk logged, does that invalidate the tran log backups up to that point? When the db is switched back into full-recovery mode, are the following tran log backups still in sequence?
I would like to know how I can switch from one database to another within the same script. I have a script that reads the header information from a SQL BAK file and loads the information into a Test database. Once the information is in the temp table (Test database) I run the following script to get the database name.
This part works fine.
INSERT INTO @HeaderInfo EXEC('RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = N''I:TESTdatabase.bak'' WITH NOUNLOAD') DECLARE @databasename varchar(128); SET @databasename = (SELECT DatabaseName FROM @HeaderInfo);
The problem is when I try to run the following script nothing happens. The new database is never selected and the script is still on the test database.
EXEC ('USE '+ @databasename)
The goal is switch to the new database (USE NewDatabase) so that the other part of my script (DBCC CHECKDB) can run. This script checks the integrity of the database and saves the results to a temp table.
My C# application has a DataGridView which is bound to a DataSet. I used Visual Studio to add/configure the data source. Everything works fine on my computer. When I try to run the application on another computer I can't connect to the database, because it uses a wrong connection string.
How can I make a specific connection/connection string permanent for a specific application?
I've got a situation where I need to execute portions of a script against every database on a given instance. I don't know the name of all the databases beforehand so I need to scroll through them all and call the "use" command appropriately.
I need the correct syntax, the following won't work:
DECLARE DBS CURSOR FOR SELECT dbname FROM #helpdb ORDER BY dbname
OPEN DBS
FETCH NEXT FROM DBS INTO @dbname
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
USE @dbname
The last line - the "USE" statement - is invalid. The following for example works:
USE master
But when supplied a declared variable a syntax error results for the use command because it expects an identifier.
So .. what is the correct syntax to pass a declared parameter to "USE", or is there another way to meet this requirement?
i want to upload reports in ssrs , when i trying to configure reporting service configuration manager, getting error" there was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an error retrieving wmi properties. the exception details are access is denied . You must have an administrator on the report server computer to use this tool".
It is simple question, just slipped out of my mind at this time...... how do we change Security Context for 2005 version from network to local system. thanks,
One of our client application launches a execuatable on server by calling master..xp_cmdshell. We are migrating to SQL 2005 and I would like to use the Context Switching feature
We have sql login €œclient€? which is used by clinet application and has very least privelge and have only required access to requried database and tables. xp_cmdshell is disabled by default on our server and I would like to enable xp_cmdshell, launch the executable on the server and disable xp_cmdshell.I have created another SQL Login €œBob€? and is member of sysadmin. The below SP is created by logging in as €œBob€?. My objective is to grant execute access on this SP and grant impersonate access to sql login €œclient€? . So that client application connecting to SQL server can launch the executable by calling the SP
create proc Bob.[Bob_enable_xp_cmdshell] with execute as 'Bob' as EXEC sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'1' RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE EXEC sp_configure N'xp_cmdshell', N'1' RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE EXEC sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'0' RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE -- launch the application using xp_cmdshell and disable the xp_command shell
When I try to execute (exec [Bob].[jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell] ) the above SP by logging in as €˜Bob€™, I€™m getting the below error
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 94 User does not have permission to perform this action. Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 4 You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement. Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 51 The configuration option 'xp_cmdshell' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option. Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 6 You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement. Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 94 User does not have permission to perform this action. Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Procedure jtr_enable_xp_cmdshell, Line 7 You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
Please note the SQL Login €œBob€? is a member of sysadmin fixed role. Thank in advance for you help.
I need to allow only a specific group of users to use a linked server. Rather than granting each user access in the linked server I create and give access to a local SQL login "link_user" and then grant the group impersonate to "link_user". The folllowing statements then work fine:
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'link_user'
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(linked_server, 'SELECT * FROM ...)
But when I use the exact same statements in a stored procedure I get the folllowing error:
Msg 7416, Level 16, State 1, Procedure linktest2, Line 5
Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists.
I need to be able to work with the result set which is why I use OPENQUERY rather than EXECUTE... AS... AT which works fine also in stored procedures!?
Is there another workaround then to create all users in the linked server security?
I need to pull data from an Excel Workbook (DTS Excel Source) where the data is stored in worksheets that are each named one of the twelve months of the year. The package is fired by a job that runs once a month. Currently, I have to go into the select statement of the Excel source before the process runs and change the name of the Worksheet that the data is pulled from.
How can I set up the sql statement for the Excel source so that I can pull from the Worksheet that contains the name of the current month?
Hi all--I used the following type of script to migrate tables, views and stored procedures from 'dbo' to 'hqmsuser': alter authorization on dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER to HQMSUSER alter schema HQMSUSER transfer dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER go
This was per recommendations from the BOL to use instead of the 'sp_changeobjectowner' procedure. I returned the following error:
Msg 15346, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot change owner for an object that is owned by a parent object. Change the owner of the parent object instead. Msg 15347, Level 16, State 1, Line 4 Cannot transfer an object that is owned by a parent object.
How do I find and change the parent object on this from 'dbo' to a non-dbo schema ownership?
I’m looking for clearity on partition switching. The idea is to use many BULK INSERT statements into table dbo.X_n in parallel and when BULK INSERT for table dbo.X_n is completed, switch dbo.X_n into dbo.bigdaddy. I think this is the fastest way to upload a couple hundred GB of data.
In learning about partition switching (in part) from The Data Loading Performance Guide under Partition SWITCH, I hear the instructions to say copy the main table exactly to become a target. But in that same step (#1), I read that we need to change the default file group of the target (dbo.X_n) from the default file group. Then it says I need to match indexes and lists the filegroup as something we need to match with the main table.
As an overview of the partition switching strategy, I think the whole point of BULK INSERT with partitioning is to have seperate files (in same group) to enable concurrent uploading where each table has its own file. Once the upload is completed to a table (dbo.X_n) then we do the partition switch into the main table (dbo.bigdaddy). The data we just uploaded doesn’t actually move, just the metadata for it.
When I read the instructions linked above, I hear “Don’t have the same filegroup on your target as the main table. You must have the same filegroup on your target as the main table.â€
