Hi,
I have a database which has two db_owner (dbo and a user).
The user has left the organization a while ago.
Can I remove him or do I need to replace him?
What will happen if I remove him?
Do I need to keep dbo there also?
I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Because I got a number of errors I went back
to 6.5. Now I want to try again to upgrade to 7.0. How can I do that?
Do I have to uninstall 7.0 and reinstall?
If I uninstall 7.0 will that blow away 6.5?
Thanks

I would like to dynamically copy a table in Transact SQL, like this:
SELECT * into NEW_TABLE from MY_TABLE where 1 = 2
This creates an empty NEW_TABLE as desired. However, NEW_TABLE retains the column nullability of MY_TABLE; I would like NEW_TABLE to have all its columns nullable.
I tried to write Transact SQL logic to update the isnullable column in syscolumns for NEW_TABLE, but was told that the entire SQL Server would have to be reconfigured to allow this.
Does anyone know of another way to do this?
I've got a service that waits for a file to drop and then calls a ssis package that then gets a date from the first line of the file, sets it to a variable, then imports the rest of the file using the flat file import through a data flow task.
Occasionally the script task fails with this error message:
The script threw an exception: Access to the path 'C:pathflatfile.txt' is denied.
Here is the code of my script:
Public Sub Main() ' ' Add your code here ' Dim vars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForRead("User::FullFilePath", vars) Dim filepath As String = vars("FullFilePath").Value.ToString() vars.Unlock() Dim file As File Dim reader As StreamReader reader = file.OpenText(filepath) Dim line As String line = reader.ReadLine() reader.Close() 'MsgBox(line.Substring(29)) Dim asofdate As String asofdate = line.Substring(29, 5) asofdate = asofdate + "20" + line.Substring(34) 'MsgBox(asofdate) Dim writeVars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("User::AsOfDate", writeVars) writeVars(0).Value = asofdate 'MsgBox("done") writeVars.Unlock() Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub
Does anyone see anything that I'm not. I believe i'm closing all necessary resources and streams. Does anyone have suggestions.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi folks. Thanks for the opportunity to get a bit of help here.
I've got two tables. Say, table "foo" and table "bar".
I LEFT JOIN them on a key, say, foo.id and bar.fooid.
For some reason, when I do this join, I get only records from "foo" which have a mate in "bar".
What I really need is all records from "foo", but the columns from bar when there is a match. I don't want to exclude records from "foo" just because they don't have a match from "bar".
Am I just misusing LEFT JOIN?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, everyone!
I have this strange problem... After every time my application leaves sql-server idle (doesn't send anything, doesn't retrieve anything) next command to sql-server processes really long.
I've also noticed this bug/feature/misconfiguration even if I open a DB in Management Studio...
Please, could someone tell me, is there any timer that "puts a DB to sleep" if no one is using it for some time? Can I change the way server behaves in this situation?
when i try to create an ER diagram in VB Web Server Express it tells me that You do not have the required permissions..
What's up?
I have a stored procedure that I believe is not executing as the specific db in question has no owner(shows as "unknown"). What is the solution?

I have a database which contains 5 db_owner. If I need to remove two of them (they have left the company and are not being replaced) so db_changedowner is out of the question.
What is the proper way to do this?
Do I need to transfer their ownerships to one of the existing db_owner?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm duplicating a database by running the script below. This works fine. My only problem is that the dbo user does not by default have any role memberships in the new database hence no access. I have tried using sp_addrolemember but dbo is not a valid user for this procedure. Adding dbo to the db_owner role through the sql2005 MS works fine, but I would very much like to script this. Any suggestions?

Whats the difference between db_owner and public role...
I want to create a role and add user to it..that user will have all the permissions on all the tables (our tables), all permissions on all stored procedures, triggers, views...that user is owner of all objects....right now we have to manually grant these permissions to each user, and I was think if I create a role I don't have to what happens with stored procedures and jobs ??
Can some one help me the script to do this... am reading lots of articles about these but none have clear instructions...
How do you create
db_datareader, db_datawriter roles ??
I cannot use EM as I have to send this script with our application..
Thanks

I have a server that was upgrade to 7 several months ago. The cmptlevel was set to 7 once upgraded. I have a developer group as dbo_owner role on a database and now on certain tables (not all) they can add fields and save. But then go back in and remove the field then try to save they get the error message "- Unable to modify table. ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SETUSER permission denied, database 'XXX',owner 'dbo'."
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a number of user databases who have lost their owner. That is, displaying properties for the database says the owner is unknown.
I assume that any user for such a database that's assigned to the db_owner role can admin everything in this database? Which means that the lack of a dbo doesn't cause any other problem than making it impossible to run a sp_helpdb for the database, or...?
Of course I'd like to make someone the owner, but it seems difficult to make an already existing database user the owner, without dropping the user and re-creating it.
I have some users that I need to run stored procedures, but they can'tseem to run them unless they are in the db_owner role of the database.How do I give them access to run the stored procs without giving themthe complete rights of the db_owner role?Thanks in advance.

I am receiving this message in my MOM Server:
The system stored procedure sp_helpdb, which is used to gather information about the databases, has returned an error that may indicate that it cannot determine the db owner for the database [model]. Here are the details: sp_helpdb @dbname='model' on SQL Server Instance: INSTANCENAME. Error number: 515, Error Information: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table ''; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
So, I run this script in the Master DB:
select name, suser_sname(sid) from master.dbo.sysdatabases where suser_sname(sid) is NULL
And I get the result that the db_owner is set to NULL!
I know that it is not possible to change the DB Owner of the model database but is there any workaround to solve this without reinstalling or similar solutions?
We have several departamental "database administrators" that needs access to their databases "only" and cannot perform maintenance tasks administrative tasks such as backup and create new server login. We basically function as a "database hosting services" to these departamental dbsa. I granted rights to these departamental dbas to their database and I assigned the db_ddladmin role to them. They can create the objects within their database but they cannot read the records because when the table was created it belongs to the dbo schema - I don't want to assign them to the db_owner role, this role is much more permission that they need.
My question is: What is the best way to give these departamental dbas rights to manage their databases without having too much permission to maintain the database permission and settings?

Hi All,
I created SP and enabled db_datareader and db_datawriter for roles for BUILTINUsers on database level.
I can call that SP from my application if I am accessing DB from my app running on the same machine. If I run app on other machine SP throw exception related to lack of permission.
I fixed that by enabling db_owner roles for BUILTINUsers. But it is not good fix from security point of view.
My question is: is there any other way to allow regular user to run that SP by not giving him db_owner privileges?
Also I have to mention that my SP procedure has some dynamic SQL code.
I would greatly appreciate any help,
Thanks,

I have granted db_owner to a user id. This userid was able to take a database offline, but when trying to bring the database up online, I got an error message 5011, user doens't have permission.

Hi,
I have given a user db_owner role in a database. When he creates a table using Enterprise manager the table owner is dbo. When he creates a table using Query Analyzer the table owner is the user. eg
Enterprise Manager = dbo.Table1
Query Analyer = username.Table1
This causes a problem when the user is writing web applications. Is this an error in the way i have set up permissions ? How can i make them behave the same way?
Thanks for your help.
When granting db_owner to the SINGLE user, it's automatically set the DEFAULT_SCHEMA to dbo so when the user created the table, the table will be owned by "dbo"
When granting db_owner to the Window group, DEFAULT SCHEMA WILL NOT be "dbo", for this reason when the user A(belonging to this Windows Group) created a table, that's table will be owned by user A instead of dbo.
1. is it normal behavior for the Windows group?
2. Is there any way you can grant to the group so the objects will be owned by dbo instead of the user who created the objects? or this is a behavior when MS introduce SCHEMA in 2005.
Thanks,
I am trying to come up with a stored procedure to grant all usersdb_owner role (rather than have to manually check the users eachtime)Thanks in advance for your helpTY

How do I get a particular user to be a choice under the db_owner role for a particular database?
The user is listed under logins and even shows to be the db_owner for the database under the database access tab of the login properties. This is SQL 2000.
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a script that will check is a MemberName belongs to the Db_Owner role and if it doesn't I then want to add that membername to the role. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have managed to list the Db_Owner MemberNames by using the sp_helprolemember stored procedure, and I can use the following:
SP_addrolemember 'db_owner' , 'ASPNET'
to add the membername to the db_owner role, it's just conditional only do it if it doesn't exist that is causing me grief.
Many thanks,
Damien
OK. I screwed-up. SS2005. I gave a user ownership of schema "db_owner" and now I can not change it back to what it was (unknown) so I can delete the user. So how do I change ownership of "db_owner" back to what it was so I can delete the user???
Thanks,
Michael
