I have been tasked with determining how many licenses of a certain SQL
Server 2000-based application are actually in use: in other words,
record or log connections made to the database by clients.
Client connections will be made with a generic SQL Server ID which has
been granted access to the DB; security is maintained inside the
application, and a user only logs in with their personal ID in the
application itself.
I know I can go in at any time into the management/Current
Activity/Process info and see current sessions against the target db,
grab the host name from that view, and do an "nbtstat -a" to glean the
login ID of the connected user.
If there were a way to record connections made to a DB in the event
viewer or SQL log, I could hopefully get the information I need.
But I see no way to have the SQL Server log connection information like
this.
I have a small project for educational institutuin online examination. But 500 students has to login and save their answers.. Is it possible to have in sql server 2008 for 500 login can access a single database & can save?

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.
I am using the MSDE to connect to my ASP.NET application. I get this error after clicking the login button of my login page. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks for any help,
Cannot open database requested in login 'DataSQL'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'serverASPNET'.

I tried to research on the internet and i got a solution on changing the permissions for this database to enable user SystemName/ASPNET, but iam not able to access this ASPNETDB.MDF from SqlServer and if i go to server explorer in vs2005, i dint know where to chage the permissions.
Hello,How can I record certain type of querys ? I would like to recorddelete command sent to a specific database, and using a specificlogin account.This "query capture" should run in background because I donīt knowthe exact time someone will delete a record.Iīm using SQL-Server 7.0Thank you,Eduardo.
I am looking for information on the SQL server 2005 performance, mainly on the data recording speed. I have a project where I have to save approximately 20000 analogical value per second.
I'm sorry for asking this, as I'm sure tha the answer is in one of the 208 matches I found searching on "ErrorCode". Unfortunately, this project is overdue and I need a solution fairly soon.
I should add that I've only been developing in SSIS since August 2007.
I have a complicated package, loading about 17 outputs of the XML Source into staging tables. I have been using the error outputs of any standard components I use, out of faith that, if Microsoft provided them, then they should be useful for something. I've been directing all of the error outputs for one of the 17 "tables" from the XML Source into a Union All, and then into an "Error staging table", for each of the 17 outputs. This table includes all of the possible columns, but permits nulls for all of them. It also incldues the ErrorCode and ErrorColumn.
Unfortunately, if these latter two are useful for anyting, I haven't found it yet.
Right now, working with our first "mostly real" data, I'm getting 100% of my input rows written into error tables. Unfortunately, the information in the tables are of limited use in determining what went wrong. For instance, the ErrorColumn seems only to be populated if there was a specific error with a specific column. The Lookup component, doesn't seem to populate ErrorColumn, even if only one column was used for the lookup! No information about the component producing the error output is supplied in the error output, either, which makes it difficult to determine which of the five or so possible error outputs is the one that produced the particular error row.
This proves that I'm missing something simple. How do people handle errors? In my custom components, I learned to use the Fire* methods to produce detailed messages before redirecting the row to the error output, but this sort of thing is not available through the standard components.
Do I really have to create a separate "add useful information to the error output" component, and use it on each error output?
Sorry for the attitude, but just when I think I'm winning, SSIS brings me back down to earth!
hi, so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them: "Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'" Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error. I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed' This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Hi I have asp.net2 app using SQLExpress which works fine in VS2005.

Cannot open database "QuoteSystem" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'. Last time I recieved this error I had to add ASPNet, NTAuthority, and myWebSiteUsers USERS under the database properties-->permissions setting for the specific database I am trying to access with the website but this database(QuoteSystem) does not lists any of these objects so I can add them. Does anybody know what I have to do to fix this? I am using SQL Server 2005.

This is from default iso image on the official website.
I create my first project and when I want to do ASP.NET configuration from web site menu, i got this error:
"Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed."
I am just trying to learn here so i even did not create any dB or something, it is 1st time I run configuration to add security roles and users for testing!
I also un-installed all and re-installed, still the same...

I am getting the above error. On server1 I am running a dts package via a sql server job (sql server2005). This has been working perfectly for over a year. This package needs to access a database on server2. The database in question on server2 was recently restored from our produciton environment to refresh the data. Every since thsi time the job on server1 is failing with the above error.
Steps I have taken so far: droped the user from server2 and recreated it gave the user sysadmin rights on server 2 and server1
I'm using Visual Web Developer, .NET Framework 2.0, ASP.NET 20., IIS 5.1. on Windows XP Pro SP2.
I have assigned every possible user i can think of full permissions to the web folder, all of the subfolders, and the database files. This includes Administrator, Administrator Groups, ASPNET user, IUSR_Machine, Interner guest account, Network Group, Network Service Group, Power Users Group, Users.
I'm logged on as administrator.
When i run the web service from within VWD, i get this error.
Cannot open database "eBayTrader" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DHJC2R91ASPNET'.
Does anybody know how to resolve this problem ?
I have been working on it for days. I will gladly pay someone to work this out with me over the phone/email. I'll send you a check before we start.
I have created a new database within SQLServer Express 2005 and have an ASP page in IIS. Any time i attempt to access the database I get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database "testDB" requested by the login. The login failed.
The ODBC connection that I have created works fine if connecting to the same table (literally three sample fields with two records) in an Access database.
The database connection that I am using is:
Set DatabaseConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") DatabaseConnection.Open "DSN=testDB;UID=EINSTEINAdministrator&pwd=password;DATABASE=testDB;APP=ASP Script" Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset") SQLString = "SELECT * FROM testTable" rs.Open SQLString, DatabaseConnection if NOT rs.EOF then Response.Write(rs("testField1") & " - " & rs("testField2")) end if rs.Close DatabaseConnection.Close Set DatabaseConnection = Nothing
EINSTEIN is the name of the server, rs = Recordset. I have tried changing to just Administrator instead of machinenameAdministrator with no success. I have got SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP, and can log in fine to SQL Server using EINSTEINAdministrator.
See previous post with WCF connection working some times for additional info.
I'm checking the server log and my attempt to log into one database works. When I try to login to the second database I get this logged:
Login failed for user 'xxx' (Client {my ip address} )
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16
When I go to the database server and pull up the user, both the original and second database are checked in the User Mappings at the Server Users level. If I set master to the intial database, the first database, or the second database as the initial catalog....I can access the first database but not the second.
No I have not found one word written for SQL Server 2005 that I could find that states THIS IS HOW YOU ENABLE LOGIN FOR A DATABASE, however since I've not found anything different between the DB that works and the one that doesn't then I must assume I've done things right.
The only thing that is odd on the server is that there are two different logins created with different names but for the same user. I've made sure that database 2 is checked for both user records. I tried to purge the duplicate but I get a DROP failure and don't have the time to try and interpret SQL Servers' obscure error messages.
I need to get access before 3PM EST and would love any help on this brick wall ASAP. Thanks.
I get that error.I'm sure you see this question alot, but i'm dumfounded by it. Problem is that i've taken the code directly off the live website, yes i've changed the connection string... Private _connStr As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=EFM;User ID=*****;password=******;Trusted_Connection=true" and am using the database that was originally worked on... Only thing that has changed is my new computer.... had to reload everything... new VWD, new sql express, new sql servermanagement studio express... all semmingly working fine... ie i can see the database and edit it, i just cant connect to it through the localhost to test the program. Any Ideas? why does this error come up... how can i fix it? Thanks in advance Cannot open database "EFM" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'GERTIEIBM USER'.

Hi, we are running a webapplication, using IIS6, Windows 2003 64 bit in classic Asp. In the asp pages we connect to our SQL server (SQL Server 2005 64bit,windows 2003 64 bit), mirrored on a third sql server (same software setup as the first sql server).
The mirroring is without witness.
This works perfectly but sometimes we get the following error :
Description: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot open database "OBJECTS" requested by the login. The login failed.
In the logs of sql, we see that the offending connection does not go the principal but to the mirror. Which would cause the problem of course..
The name of the database varies, and there is no consistent error. Most of the time there are no problems (95%), but sometimes we get these errors.
Connection from the asp to sql is done using ADO, using following driver in the connectionstring :
Driver="{SQL Native Client}"
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem ? We can of course increase timouts for the mirroring, but is this the solution ?
Hi, we are running a webapplication, using IIS6, Windows 2003 64 bit in classic Asp. In the ASP pages we connect to our SQL server (SQL Server 2005 64bit,windows 2003 64 bit), mirrored on a third sql server (same software /hardware setup as the first sql server).
The mirroring is without witness.
This works but sometimes we get the following ODBC error in our ASP application :
Description: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot open database "OBJECTS" requested by the login. The login failed.
No error can be seen in the principal SQL error logs. But a failed authorization can be found on the mirror server.. And this of course this makes sense, as the connection does not go to the primary but to the secondary, which is acting as mirror. And therefore can not be accessed. The question is : why does the connection sometimes jumps in stead from the primary server, to the mirror server ? Nowhere in the code I give a secondary server as reference.
Most of the time there are no problems (97%), but sometimes we get these errors.
The moments that this error occures are random, as are the databases with which the error occurs.
The connection is made through ODBC in an ASP web application (IIS6) , simelar to :
Set oCn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") oCn.CommandTimeout = 180 oCn.Open lconstring
where lconstring is a dsn param : e.g. "filedsn=c:datadsnmastercon.dsn" where the dsn file contains following info :
I tried the above without the DSN, so a dsnless connection string. Nothing changed. I tried following drivers :{SQL Native Client} and SQLNCLI Nothing changed
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem ? We can of course increase timouts for the mirroring, but is this the solution ? Before we started using SQL 2005 and mirroring this problem did not occur. Greets Tom
Have just tried my sql server 2005 connected asp classic website on II7 for the first time and have gotten some errors. First off I have unchecked show friendly errors in IE and have enabled ASP to send error messages to the browser.
My error I get is when I execute a basic .asp page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database "mydatabasename" requested by the login. The login failed. /index.asp, line 10 which is dbConnect.Open cstring
from this peice of code:
sub dbOpen() set dbConnect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cstring = "DSN=mysqldsn; Trusted Connection=yes" dbConnect.Open cstring end sub
I have gone into ODBC and have setup both a user dsn and file dsn that equals mysqldsn and points to my database (I know you only need to set up one DSN but I'm not sure which)
I also notice under mywebsite home panel there is a connection string option. Do I do anything with that?
I am getting the error: Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed. When I browse to my ASP.NET 3.5 LINQ web application on the IIS 6.0 server on Server 2003. I imagine this is because while I granted SQL Server 2005 login and permissions to my database that the application stores its data in, I did NOT grant any rights to the service account the IIS Application Pool uses for its identity to the aspnetdb database on SQL Server which is where all my roles information is stored at. My question is what are the MINIMUM permissions needed for this database so it can perform its roles related functions? I'm using Windows Authentications with the SQL Role provider for authorization.
Thank you.
EDIT: I think I only need to open the aspnetdb database and add my login to the aspnet_Roles_FullAccess role. Is that correct?
I'm struggling to design a music database to track artists/bands, albums, songs, recordings etc. I want to identify the fields (including either solo-artist, band or perhaps duet) that make a Recording entity unique. I've considered that Band, Song and Date Recorded would make a unique key for a Recording (though that won't account for multiple recordings on the same day). I believe a Recording should be unique to a Band or a Solo-Artist (but not both, so which?).
I've considered making a Recordings table, a Bands table and a Band_Recordings table (the Beatles may have multiple versions of Yesterday). That would mean Ringo Starr becomes a band! Not quite right. I could call the Band table Acts or Performed_By to include both solo artists and bands but that seems wrong. What would go in the fields First_Name & Last_Name for the Beatles?
I would like to be able to have an Artists table (Ringo, John, etc), a Bands table (Beatles) and a Band_Artists table (Beatles/Ringo, Beatles/John, etc). With this scenario what foreign key lands in Recordings? Artist_ID? Band_ID? Both? And again, what fields combine to uniquely identify a Recording?
Another part of my problem is that for one Recording (Beatles/Yesterday), I'd like to also identify it as a Paul McCartney Recording (or John, George or Ringo) in addition to being a Beatles Recording.
I'm stuck! Certainly this type of database is often created, but I can't see how. Any answers or guidance is much appreciated.
We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?
