Some background: I have a SQL server 2000 server that I just restored from backup after complete OS reinstallation. I have retored all databases (except the master) and I still have the mdf and ldf file from before reinstallation (master.mdf as well).
Now my problem is that I have 1 application that use a specific SQL user with a password that the application choose itself and of course this application doesn't work anymore because I didn't restore the sql users (I use windows authentification as much as possible). I cannot do anything to the application to use another password but I know the login used.
My questions is "How to I recover the password?". Is there a way to log the password that this application send to sql or from the old master.mdf file?
in SQL Server 2005 I have an application role that is being used to limit access to my server data from third party applications. Everything is working well, except changing the Application role password.
I set up a small form that allows an administrator to change the App Role password through the front end app. I cannot, however, seem to get the Password field in my approle to accept a parameter.
For example:
declare @newpassword varchar(128)
set @newpassword = 'foo'
ALTER APPLICATION ROLE MyApplicationRole
with PASSWORD = @newpassword
This procedure gives me a syntax error in the last line. It will accept a string in quotes but not a varchar parameter.
I am building a winforms .net 3.5 application which connects to a SQL Server 2005 database with SQL server authentication. Is it possible to access the SQL Server password policy and expiration through the .NET 3.5 framework? I would like add the following functionality to my login form:
Ensure passwords meet policy standard.
Prompt a user to change their password when it is due to expire in 5 days or less. Thanks in advance.
I'm creating a web application that has user input on 3 seperate pages. Each page prompts the user for specific information and at the bottom of the page the user will click on the "Submit" button to post the info from the form to the database table. Once the user has submitted the first page of information how do I retrieve the ID from the CustID column of that row so I can use the Update function to add additional info to that row when the user clicks on the submit button on page 2 & 3. I don't want to hold all the information in variables until the end in case they bail out of the form. TIA Steve

I have developed a SSIS package on my local box and everything worked fine until I moved it to the production server. I have a Send Mail Task that is triggered by any of the other processes when they fail. It sends an email to the Admin with the current log file. My issue is that when it attempts to grab the log file (as an attachment) it fails with the following error message:
OnError,BILBO,UMIALIKJamesT,Email George,{a73bfc5c-d68e-426a-98ad-55e701670470},{677B8238-8697-454F-8F8A-DD6378E93455},4/1/2008 10:25:28 AM,4/1/2008 10:25:28 AM,-1073573429,0x,Either the file "D:SQL200590DTSPackagesPPROutputoutput.txt" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
It certainly exists and I've open all permissions up on the folder. What I find even more interesting is that the Package is just a single directory up from the Output file. The Package resides at D:SQL200590DTSPackagesPPR and is run via a batch file. It seems to me that it should have no issue grabbing this file and sending it, and when I don't attach the file it sends just fine.
Thank you in advance. If you need anymore information just let me know and I'll dig it up.
I want to allow administrators of the program to change the permissions of the database roles. Is there a way to retreive the the specific permissions granted an denyed to a user and a database role. For instance, a store procedure that you call, pass it the database role and you get whether SELECT is allowed on table1, or if UPDATE is denied on table2, etc.
Hi all, I've been struggling with this one for a while, but am still doing something wrong: I have three tables which need to be updated. I have a stored proc which accomplishes the first writes the data in for the first 2 tables. The last table is a one to many, so needs a seperate stored proc which will be called multiple times depending on the number of items in the order. My only question I am trying to get to here is: How do I get the first stored proc to return me the primary key value from the 1st insert (NOT the second)? I've tried a few different methods: the current one shown below returns me "2", as in the number of inserts performed. Dim InsertCmd As New SqlCommand("WriteOrder", oSQLConn) InsertCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CartTotal", Session("CartTotal")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CARDFNAME", BillingInfo("CARDFNAME")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CARDLNAME", BillingInfo("CARDLNAME")) ... InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CONTACTEMAIL", BillingInfo("CONTACTEMAIL")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@COMPANYMATCH", 0) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RECNUM", 0) Response.Write("---" & InsertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery().ToString() & "---")
I've also tried returning parameters like this, with no luck: InsertCmd.Parameters(32).SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int InsertCmd.Parameters(32).Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue Response.Write("---" & InsertCmd.Parameters(32).Value() & "---")Any help is greatly appreciated!
I am using ASP.NET 3.5 with SQLDataSource, when a record is inserted is there a way to retreive the newly created GUID value in a field? I am currently using SELECT @NewID = SCOPE_IDENTITY() to retreive the newly created record unique ID field, but I need the secondary field GUID field's value instead in this case. Thank you.
Is there a way to retreive the SQL Statement with the values from the parameters merged together? I know how to retreive the SQL Select Statement and the parameters separately but I need to retreive the final SQL. For example: SELECT name FROM employee WHERE id = @id I would like to retreive from SQLDataSource SELECT name FROM employee WHERE id = 1
I use the following query to shred an xml and insert it into a table, but I want to have the whole html structure into the column to be able to present the formatted text in Cognos 8 BI.
WITH xmlnamespaces('http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2007-01-15T13:29:33' AS my) INSERT INTO TMP_ATGFORSLAG (AtgForslagDesc) SELECT AtgForslagRad.value('(/my:AtgForslagRad/my:AtgForslagDesc)[1]', 'varchar(2000)') AS AtgForslagDesc FROM dbo.DeklAtgForslagXml
The structure of the source in the xmlfile I want to import is: <my:AtgForslagDesc> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <ol> <li>Text1...</li> <li>Text2...</li> <li>Text3...</li> </ol> </html> </my:AtgForslagDesc>
How do I shred not only the text but the whole starting <html> to finishing </html> and insert it into a table I would be very happy.
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure! However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it. If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane! I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is: DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
