Prevent One Single Row From Being Updated


I am doing customization for microsoft POS. I manually added a record
to a table. The manage and maintenance of this table are done by POS,
and user can update the contents of this table. Is there any way I can
lock this single row at database level to prevent it from being deleted
or changed by user? I am using SQL 2000 and vb.net.

Thanks.

Linked Reports Not Being Updated When Master Report Is Updated
Since updating to SQL Server 2005 SP2 I've noticed two things about Linked Reports.
 
1.  I do a lot of 'Snapshot' reports.  With SP-1 if I updated a master report and made any changes to the Parameter List - it undid all my custom parameter changes on linked versions (restored to the Master Reports Defaults).  While this is no longer happening with SP2 - it is still 'unhiding' the parameters.
 
2.  With SP-1 if I added/deleted columns or made other changes to the report structure - the linked reports would pick up on the changes with their next refresh.  With SP-2 I'm finding that I have to 'Re-link' the linked report back to the master report before the changes are refreshed.  This is very time consuming especially with each report having 8 or more Snapshot reports pre-set up.
 
Am I missing something - or is this a 'bug'...
 
Any help would be appreciated...

Hi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date.

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

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.

Best Way To Prevent Deadlocks

In general, what's the best way to resolve this ?

Should I see if I can apply "WITH (NOLOCK)" to my data ?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !

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

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?

How To Prevent SQL Injection Attacks
Hi,

On my site I have a simple textbox which is a keyword search, people type a keyword and then that looks in 3 colums of an SQL database and returns any matches

The code is basic i.e. SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column1 LIKE %searcg%

There is no validation of what goes into the text box and I am worried about SQL injection, what can I do to minimize the risk

I have just tried the site and put in two single quotes as the search term, this crashed the script so I know I am vunerable.

Can anyone help, perhaps point me in the direction of furthur resources on the subject?

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!!!

Is That Possible To Prevent Modifying The Name Of An IDTSInputColumn90?
Hi,

I'm building a custom SSIS data flow component and I create myself input and output columns from a custom property of my pipeline component. That's why I don't want the user to modify the name of the input and output columns by using the advanced editor.

Is there a way either to make input/output column properties - at least the name - readonly or to override any PipelineComponent method to throw an exception like we do when we want to prevent the user from adding/removing input/output colulmns with methods like PipelineComponent.DeleteOutputColumn?

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,

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,

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 = "";

Prevent Duplicate Entries In A Table
I have an ASP.Net Web appplication with a Back-End SQL DB. There are 3 Tables; Users, Groups, and GroupMember.

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.

Is there a simpler way to prevent duplicate entries in a table using sql?

Does Using Isnull() Prevent The Optimizer From Using The Index For That Col.?
Hi all,
This table,

create table test (
t1 int,
t2 char(4) )

has about a few hundred rows. I have created a nonclustered index on column t1.

When I execute the following query, the query execution plan shows that the optimizer performs an index seek using the index on col. t1.

select * from test where t1 = 4

But, when I run the following query, using isnull(), the optimizer always performs a table scan.

select * from test where isnull(t1, 0) = 4

Could someone please explain why?

How Do I Prevent A SQL Error Terminating My Package?
I am getting the ubiquitous error....

"The statement has been terminated.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I have a stored procedure that performs a task on a loop.  Sometime it fails, somtimes it succeeds and that's just fine, the errors are handled within the stored procedure and I return counts of success and failures.

The trouble is that the package execution terminates when even one of the task fails.  I don't want it to, I just want it to continue as the pakage should then go on to extract the source of the failues and post them back where they came from.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

I have tinkered with the MaximumErrorCount setting, but I get the same result regardless of whether this is set to 0, 1, or 99999.

I also have a 'failure' path leading from the SQL task, but the package does not follow it.

I'm using an OLE DB connection and when none of the tasks fail, the process works perfectly.

Any ideas, most appreciated.

Prevent Simultaneous Package Executions
How can I prevent a package, or a section of a package, from being run more than once simultaneously? The package makes use of a staging database table, and if two copies of this package are run at the same time, there will be a race condition and possible corruption of the data in the database table. I have also noticed that the SSIS logging gets messed up and starts overwriting itself if I have more than one of these packages run at the same time.
 
What I am thinking of should work the same way as a serializable transaction lock on a normal query, where one query has to wait if another query has a lock on the table. I don't want the package to throw an error, I want it to wait until the other one is done.
 
I have been trying to use transactions in a test SSIS package, but they are not quite doing what I want them to do. I put various SSIS steps in a sequence container and require a serializable transaction. I have also tried putting the transaction at the package level, but that is not preventing simultaneous package runs.
 
Is there a built-in way to do this that is easy to implement? Otherwise, what I could do is insert a flag into the database indicating that a package is running, then make sure to reset the flag on any error or on completion. It seems like this alternate method could be error-prone though.
 
I am using SP2.

Prevent Invalid Characters From Being Entered
Hi,

I need to be able to prevent an invalid character from being entered into a sql 2000 databae on import from oracle. 

In short, I need to exclude a certain character from being entered and need to be able to send an email which specifies that an attempt was made to enter this character, if the change was due to an insert or an update, the row to be affected in the target database, date and time info. Also the source of the data.

If this is not possible, is it viable to remove the character after insert and still send the email with the required info?

 Any one any ideas?

 

Thanks

Prevent Backup And Restore On Different System
 

How do I prevent someone from backing up the data / copying the mdf and then mounting it from a different server or instance to gain access to the DB.
 
I do not have control over the physical file.
 
Basically, I want to make sure that only authorized applications and users can access the data.

Any Way To Prevent Parameters From Collapsing On Click Through
Hi,

 

I have a standard clickthrough from a master report to a detail report and would like the parameters to remain visible in the detail report, however reporting services likes to minimise the parameters bar when you click through... does anyone know a way to keep the parameters maximised in this situation?

 

Cheers,

 

Alex.

Any Way To Prevent The Parameter Bar From Collapsing On Click Through?
Hi,

 

I have a standard click through from a master report to a detail report, and I would like the parameters bar to remain expanded in Report Viewer when the user clicks through.  The bar always minimises, so the user can expand it using the arrows on the right hand side... however I would like it to remain expanded by default.  Does anyone know a way of fixing this?

 

Cheers,

 

Alex.

Any Way To Prevent SSAS Memory From Paging?
This morning msmdsrv.exe looked like the following in Task Manager:

Memory Usage: 600,000 K

VM Size: 2,500,000 K

 

If I understand correctly, that means that a good deal of SSAS memory has been swapped to disk by the OS. Is there any way to prevent this? (I have read about using the Lock Pages In Memory privilege at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179301.aspx which lets SQL prevent the OS from paging sqlservr.exe memory. I don't suppose there's an equivalent SSAS setting.)
 

In particular, the symptom I'm seeing is that after we finish processing, all that paged memory has to be loaded back into memory before the transaction can be committed. Committing the transaction is usually very quick. But when most of the SSAS process memory is pages, it takes quite a while, during which I can see the Memory Usage number in Task Manager growing. (I don't think it's a blocked transaction commit.)

Prevent An Unused Dataset From Querying?
Say you have 2 datasets for 2 tables, respectively.

If one table is hidden, why does the query for its dataset still execute when it's not needed anywhere else?
I looked through the properties of the table, but i didn't come across anything that I think would work.

Does anyone have some ideas as to how to stop the dataset from querying the database?
