Is It Possible To Prevent Databases From Being Copied?
Hi, We have a point of sale application (C# .NET 2.0) and a Sql Server 2005 database back end. Our customers are concerned that employees could create a backup of the SQL Server database (or even of the MDF file) and use it to steel customer data. Very often, the application is running on a single PC in a shop using Sql Server Express Edition 2005 under Windows XP. The users usually log on as local administrator. It's hard for us to force our customers to change their local security policies. Ideally, I would like some form of security mechanism that prevents a backup from being restored on to another PC without either a password or some other form of authentication. Is this possible? Regards, Sigol.

Replication Monitor Bug - Subscription Names Suddenly Not Displaying?
This is strange. We use Merge (pull) replication to get data from the "mother ship" updated to the laptops of 15 sales reps before they head out into the field, where they work disconnected. At end of day, they all reconnect and all the data is once again shared. We've been having problems with the replication, but that's another topic. This morning, I logged onto the server to check the replication monitor, and found that all of the subscriber names for that particular subscription are blank! They show the open/close bracket ( [] ) followed by the database name. This is under the My Publishers >> [server name] >> [publication name] node in the explorer tree. If I try to double-click on one of the subscribers to get their detail, I get tne message, "Replication Monitor could not open the Detail Window." and "Specified cast is not valid". If I look at the publication in SQL Server Management Studio, all of the subscriber names show up just fine. But they do NOT show up under Replication Monitor. No one touched the database over the weekend, and this was working just fine on Friday afternoon. Has anyone seen this before? What to do?

How To Prevent Domain Admin Users From Accessing SQL 2000 Databases?
Based on our database infrastructure, we need to secure our SQL databases. The security issue concerns on allowing a limited number of Domain Admin users to access the SQL databases. We tried certain ways, based on the documents in the Microsoft web site, but we couldn€™t reach to the point of preventing the Domain Admin users accessing the SQL databases. Thanks in advance.

Are Duplicate Instance Names A Problem If Physical Server Names Are Different?
If I restore the master database from ServerA to ServerB and start the SQL Server services on ServerA and ServerB, the master databases will be identical and running sp_helpserver and @@ServerName will indicate the SQL Server instance for both instances is ServerA. Is this ok considering the physical server names are different? If this is ok, how does SQL Server advertise on the network who it is? Does it append the physical server name to the SQL Server instance name during network communications? Thanks, Dave

DB Mirroring: Different Server Names With Same Instance Names
I'm going to be setting up DB mirroring between two SQL Server 2005 boxes. Since these are on two different servers, can the instance names be the same? Is there any reason NOT to do so if the mirror server is going to be used exclusively for DB mirroring? For example: if the my primary DB is located on SERVER1INSTANCE1, can the mirror be SERVER2INSTANCE1 or do the instance names have to be different even though they're on different boxes. Thanks!

Server Names Or Instance Names
Hello there. I'm trying to populate a drop down box with a list of all available instances of SQL server (express or not) available on a network. To list all instances I'm using EnumAvailableServers() in SmoApplication. The issue is that the Instance column in the returned data table is always empty, and both the Name and the Server columns contain the same string -- the name of the computer the SQL server is installed. Locally I have SSE installed, the instance name is <computer_name>SQLEXPRESS, however, using Smo I can't seem to get to the either full instance name or just the instance name. I can't assume SQLEXPRESS, since there may be more than one installed. Alternately I used EnumRegisteredServers() in SmoApplication.SqlServerRegistrations and that, while returning instance information (can be retrieved from the RegisteredServer in the returned collection), doesn't always return the remote SQL servers in the list. Any idea how can this be done? Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, maybe there's another class / method I need to use to retrieve all instances? Thank you

Looping Through Stored Procedure Inside Another Stored Procedure And Displaying The Category And Then Displaying 1 Item In Each Category
I used to do this with classic asp but I'm not sure how to do it with .net.Basically I would take a table of Categories, Then I would loop through those. Within each loop I would call another stored procedure to get each item in that Category. I'll try to explain, Lets say category 2 has a player Reggie Bush and a player Drew Brees, and category 5 has Michael Vick, but the other categories have no items.Just for an example.. Category Table: ID Category1 Saints2 Falcons3 Bucaneers4 Chargers5 FalconsPlayer Table:ID CategoryID Player News Player Last Updated1 1 Reggie Bush Poetry in motion 9/21/20062 1 Drew Brees What shoulder injury? 9/18/20063 5 Michael Vick Break a leg, seriously. 9/20/2006 Basically I would need to display on a page:SaintsReggie BushPoetry in MotionFalconsMichael VickBreak a leg, seriously.So that the Drew Brees update doesnt display, only the Reggie Bush one, which is the latest.I have my stored procedures put together to do this. I just don't know how to loop through and display it on a page. Right now I have two datareaders in the code behind but ideally something like this, I would think the code would go on the page itself, around the html.

SQL Injection - How To Prevent It?
I am building my first ASP.Net app from scratch and while working on the DAL I came across the problem of SQL Injection. I searched on the web and read different articles but I am still unsure about the answer. My question is should I add db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "AvatarImageID", DbType.Int32, avatarImageID); Add in Parameters to my C# code to avoid SQL Injection. What is the best practice. I am unclear if the stored procedure already helps me avoid SQl Injection or if I need the add in parameters in the C# methods to make it work. I need some help. Thanks, Newbie My C# update method in the DAL (still working on the code) private static bool Update(AvatarImageInfo avatarImage) { //Invoke a SQL command and return true if the update was successful. db.ExecuteNonQuery("syl_AvatarImageUpdate", avatarImage.AvatarImageID, avatarImage.DateAdded, avatarImage.ImageName, avatarImage.ImagePath, avatarImage.IsApproved); return true; } I am using stored procedures to access the data in the database. My update stored proc set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[syl_AvatarImageUpdate] @AvatarImageID int, @DateAdded datetime, @ImageName nvarchar(64), @ImagePath nvarchar(64), @IsApproved bit AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; BEGIN TRY UPDATE [syl_AvatarImages] SET [DateAdded] = @DateAdded, [ImageName] = @ImageName, [ImagePath] = @ImagePath, [IsApproved] = @IsApproved WHERE [AvatarImageID] = @AvatarImageID RETURN END TRY BEGIN CATCH --Execute LogError SP EXECUTE [dbo].[syl_LogError]; --Being in a Catch Block indicates failure. --Force RETURN to -1 for consistency (other return values are generated, such as -6).

Prevent SP Compilation
Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2000 MSDE on a laptop running Windows XP.I have a couple of SP's that that quite some time to compile. So I waswondering: is there any way to have the database *not* recompile them everytime after a reboot?BOL says: "As a database is changed by such actions as adding indexes orchanging data in indexed columns, the original query plans used to accessits tables should be optimized again by recompiling them. This optimizationhappens automatically the first time a stored procedure is run afterMicrosoft® SQL ServerT 2000 is restarted."Now the SQL Server is restarted a lot, because laptops don't have endlessbatteries <g>Cheers,Bas

Prevent Duplication On UPDATE
Hello I noticed a spelling mistake in the data in a column of several tables, I used the following syntax to alter the spelling: UPDATE [dbo].[Prod_Cat] SET [ProdName]=N'merseyside' WHERE ProdName = 'mmserseyside' The above code correctly updated the spelling error, but it also inserted a new row with the corrected data. So I found myself with two Identical rows containing the corrected information. I had to manually delete the extra row. Because if I had put in a DELETE statement, I would have then lost both rows. What do I need to do to prevent this happening next time. As I find that I need to update the names of some products, but I don't want to duplicate them. Thanks Lynn

How Do I: Prevent Race Condition?
I want to be able to read and update a value in the database without entering a race condition. For example: User #1 reads a row from the database, changes a value then writes the value back. User #2 reads the same row AFTER user #1 has read it, but BEFORE user #1 writes it back. User #2 then changes the value and writes it back, overwriting the value that user #1 wrote. I thought I could do this with transactions, but it just makes user #2 wait until user #1 is done writing before user #2 can write. It doesn't stop user #2 from reading while user #1 has it out. Does that make sense?

What Are Sql Injection Attacks And How To Prevent?
this is a question I put in the sql community in microsoft, but havent be answered in full ------------ I am using dynamic sql to do a query with differents 'order' sentences and/or 'where' sentences depending on a variable I pass to the sp ex: create proc ex @orden varchar(100) @criterio varchar(100) as declare consulta varchar(4000) set consulta=N'select pais from paises where '+@criterio' order by '+@orden ------------ I'd like to know it it uses 2 sp in the cache, as I read, the main sp and the query inside the variable of the dynamic sql. if so, as I imagine, then I suppose I have to do the main sp without any 'if' sentence to be the same sp, and so taking it from the cache and not recompile the sp now, I have various 'if' sentences in the main sp (the caller of the dynamic sql) but I plan to remove them and do the 'if' by program -it is in asp.net-, so I suppose it is better because in this way the main sp is took from the cache, supposing this uses the cache different that the dynamic sql in the variable what do u think? does the dynamic sql use 2 caches? if so, u think it is better to try to do the main sp same in all uses (no 'if' statements)? ----- They told me this coding is not good (dynamic sql) because it can give control to the user? I ask, how does it give control to use? what ar sql injection attack and how to prevent them? I use dynamis sql because I have 150 queries to do, and thought dynamic sql is good is it true that dynamic sql have to be recompiled in each execution? I suppose so only if the sql variable is different, right? can u help me?

Trigger To Prevent Duplicates
Hi all, I'm writing a trigger to prevent duplicates. I know that this can be done through primary key or unique constraints but in the real world my uniqueness is defined by 8 columns which is too a big an index to maintain on the primary / unique key. If I create a table with 2 columns CREATE TABLE Table1 (CentreCHAR(10), Month CHAR(3) ) Then create a trigger to prevent duplicates CREATE TRIGGER trigger_Check_Duplicates ON Table1 FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS -- This trigger has been created to check that duplicate rows are not inserted into AudioVisual table. DECLARE @IsDuplicate INTEGER -- Check if row exists SELECT @IsDuplicate = 1 FROM Inserted i, Table1 t WHERE t.Centre = i.Centre AND t.Month = i.Month IF (@IsDuplicate = 1) -- Display Error and then Rollback transaction BEGIN RAISERROR ('This row already exists in the table', 16, 1) ROLLBACK TRANSACTION END Then insert a row into the new table (no other data is in there) INSERT Table1 VALUES('0691040176','AUG') I get the Trigger error message that the row already exists. Why is this the case? I though that Table 1 (target table) would show no entries as it has no data - it should be a before image of the table and the inserted table should be an after image. Please help!!! Thanks Neill

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice
I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime. I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted. If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted. Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00. Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

Prevent MS Access To Connect
Hello I'm facing a dilemma. I have quite a lot of users who need read access to data for analysis purposes. By granting them read access you also give them the option to connect to the database using MS Access which puts locks on the data. First I thought of generating stored procedures for all tables within a database those users need to query but when users execute a stored procedure with the name of the table, they get a resultset of all the data. They cannot filter the data by for example using select top 100* from usp_table where name like '%worf%' I'm sure I'm not the only one here but I don't see any alternative then grant them those rights. Thanks! Best Regards, Worf

How To Prevent A Distributed Transaction?
I have a stored proc that performs some validations and returns a result set. I catch the result set in a calling procedure as follows: declare @tblErr (ErrType varchar(20), ErrMsg varchar(255)) insert @tblErr (ErrType, ErrMsg) exec dbo.spMyProc ...(args) Within the def of spMyProc there is a cross-server call: create procedure dbo.spMyProc (...params...) as begin declare @tblErr (ErrType varchar(20), ErrMsg varchar(255)) ...(do checking, inserts to @tblErr)... -- check other server exec @n = otherserver.mydb.dbo.spCheck ...(args) if @n != 0 insert @tblErr values ('someerr', 'somemsg') ...etc. select ErrType, ErrMsg from @tblErr end Apparently, the implicit transaction of the outer Insert statement is causing a distributed transaction to be started. There is no 'begin tran', distributed or non, and the foreign sp has no data-modifying statements. The call to spMyProc, if done from a query window, works fine, returning the desired resultset. When called from the outer proc, the call fails because the servers are not configured for distributed transactions. When performed without the cross-server call, using a copy of the remote db attached to the local server, the outer proc works fine. I do not want a distributed transaction. How can I prevent one? The local server is 2005 Standard on Server 2003, and the linked server is SQL2000 on Windows 2000 Server.

How To Prevent A Second Entry Being Inserted With Primary Key Value? (C#)
Ok, this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer I understand. In my SQL database I have a a table called MasterSkillList, to which the user can write by using a little web form with a text box and a drop down list. The table has 2 fields, Skill and Attribute. Skill is the primary key, as no skill can appear twice. What I want to do is prevent just that, I don't want people to enter the same skill more than once. So how do I tell the user that the entry allready exists in the database? My C# Code is as follows:1 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 2 { 3 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Skill"].DefaultValue = txtSkillName.Text; 4 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Attribute"].DefaultValue = ddlAbility.SelectedValue; 5 try 6 { 7 srcAddSkill.Insert(); 8 lblErrorMessage.Text = "The skill '" + txtSkillName.Text + "' has been added. It is based on a character's " + ddlAbility.SelectedItem + " score."; 9 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; 10 txtSkillName.Text = ""; 11 } 12 catch (Exception ex) 13 { 14 lblErrorMessage.Text = "An exception has occurred.

Prevent Duplicate Entries In A Table

The GroupMember table is used to link Users to Groups and consists of just two fields; userID and GroupID. Here is a sample of some data: User1 Group1 User1 Group2 User2 Group2 User3 Group1 User3 Group3 Users can belong to multiple Groups. However, you shouldn't be able to have the same user and group comobination more than once. for example: User1 Group1 User2 Group2 User1 Group1 I can stop this kind of duplicate data entry by doing a lookup first (using asp.net) to see if the entry already exists but this seems cumbersome.
