I'm looking for some views/ideas on the following problem that I currently face:

We have a SQL 2000 Application with all the back end code written in SQL, controlled by a VB GUI.
Due to the nature of the app we have fairly frequent code changes to make.

These changes are implemented by a third party, as I do not have access to the production systems.

At the moment I generate lots of .sql files for the various tables, views, sp's etc that are changing and they are just run through QA one at a time.

My problem is finding a more reliable way of deploying these changes, as lots of files means one could be missed etc or ran twice which might present 'non' error errors.

Do people use batch files and the command line? or are third party tools the norm?

SQL Server 2000: Login failed for user ' ' [modified]

23-Feb-09 8:45

I believe that how changes are gathered varies a lot.

But in your case, why do you separate different modifications to different files instead of gathering all modifications to a single file? That way you could ensure that everything is run (only once) and that the execution order is correct (sometimes this can be an issue for example with foreign keys, triggers etc). This script cold be run using osql.

I'm trying to connect to my sql 2000 database "mydatabase" using JDBC for SQL Server 2000, but I failed.

I'm using IReport to connect to the database and I added the driver for sql server 2000. I made sure it runs under mixed mode (i.e: windows and sql server authentication)
I created a login user (ASPNET) user and granted permissions to him on the database (without any passwords).

The url that I use for connection is jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433/mydatabase
username:ASPNET and I don't enter any passwords.

error: Login failed for ASPNET. The user is not associated with a trusted sql server connection.

When I don't enter any username or password, he tries to connect using my computer's credentials but also fails.
I don't know what's wrong.

I tried everything but I failed to connect to it.
I even installed sql server 2000 sp3 on the computer but to no avail.

Am I missing something?
How am I supposed to connect to the database?

sorry for taking so long..I hope someone could help me out.

I think what you're seeing here is a trusted connection issue. You're not connecting to Sql Server using a username and password but instead using your windows account. You'll need to add the domain account as a user to SqlServer.

Also, its worth just making sure your account isn't locked (3 wrong log-ins etc) as this produces exactly what you describe.

ok, I've just created a login user with my computer name and its domain and I specified the authentication as Windows Authentication coz otherwise a password will be required and I set the default database as "mydatabase".
This time the error is: cannot establish connection. Cannot open database requested by login. Login failed for user domain/username

Should I restart sql server or what?

I think its your domain and the logged on account you want to add, not the computer name. You'll then need to add that user to the Sql Server so they can access the server, and add the permission to the database you're using as well.

oh I'm sorry, I meant to say the logged on account (mine is the same as the computer name) I'm sorry for mixing things up.
Anyways, I did that, but still login failed.

Any ideas why??

hi i have a report viewer containe parameter, i tried to get the parameter values from a web service but i could not because the web service return a sxd:schema not dataset. So i decide to pass those values into the parameter from regular aspx page and it worked, but i still have small problem

the dropdown list is selecting all values sperated by ','

what should i do to prevent this

thank you

Good Day All

i have a table that carries a Field that has data like this

10101010101010

Now the Function that adds this 1's and 0's is working like this. If its selected insert "1" else "0", So if i can interpret the above if will be

1 3 5 7 9 11 13

the only thing that am interested in is "1's", if i can display their Position in a SQL Query i will be happy

i want to take these Values from a SQl table and Bind them to a Gridview. Remember the Number of Zeor's can increase , but the Limit is 63 including the "1's" and "0's".

Thank you

If possible, I think you should change the structure and use a child table to represent those values. It would be then far easier to handle the data.

However, if you want to have all 63 possible values in columns where the correspinding bit is on, you could use something like:

select convert(int, substring(data.field, 1, 1)) * 1,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 2, 1)) * 2,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 3, 1)) * 3,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 4, 1)) * 4,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 5, 1)) * 5,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 6, 1)) * 6,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 7, 1)) * 7,
       convert(int, substring(data.field, 8, 1)) * 8
       ...
from (select convert(varchar(63), 10101010101010)
       + replicate('0', 63-len(convert(varchar(63), 10101010101010))) as field
       ) data

hi Mika

Thank you for your response, i have came with the Following and it seems to work.

declare @S as nvarchar(63)
set @S = '10101010101010'

declare @NS as nvarchar(128)
set @NS=''
declare @Len as int
SET @Len = LEN(@S)

declare @Counter as int
SET @Counter = 1
WHILE @Counter < = @Len
BEGIN
	if (SUBSTRING(@S,@Counter,1)='1')
		set @NS = @NS + ' ' + convert(nvarchar,@Counter)
	SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
END
select @NS

What do you think about it

Thank you

That should be okay. The idea is the same as in the statement I posted and if you can use T-SQL instead of plain SQL, using a loop is easier.

Dear all,

I am accessing a database which is running on an SQL Server 2008 machine via SQL Server Management studio 2008 from a remote machine. I am using SQL authentication and I am able to do all the query and database management work.

However when I try to make use debugging I get an error stating unknown username or bad password. I did not manage to find any solution for this error. Have you ever encountered such a thing?

Any potential solutions will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

There are plenty of similarities and differences. Googling would give you lots of results to investigate more on the features you're interested in: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=compare+sql+server+oracle&meta=&aq=f&oq=[^].
