How can the location (ip address/hostname and instance) be changed for a publication/subscription merge replication scenario? Basically I have SERVER01\SQLInstance with a database that is setup to publish to itself as a distributor, then I have SERVER02\SQLInstance with a database that is a subscribor to that distributor. If I change the NETBIOS name of SERVER02 or if I am using IP addresses instead of NETBIOS names and the IP address of either machine changes, the syncronization will fail. Is there a way short of creating a new subscription that I can keep the syncronization working. IE. Can I change where the subscription is mapped to on the fly?

Hello
MS SQL Server do not have database security, if we stop the service and copy the database file to other computer we can see the schema & data without any password !
So is there is any method for securing the data in SQL Server ?
Thanks for any help![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Actually, it has quite a lot of security.

That is due to your misunderstanding of how it works, not a lack of security on the part of SQL Server. If you stop the service that controls the databases there isn't much SQL Server can do to secure your data.

You need to put in place a comprehensive policy of who gets access to the filesystem on the server so that they cannot move files around arbirtrarily. This also applies to backups. Who gets the physical media and where do they go has to be part of a comprehensive security policy.
You cannot place all of your security in one location. It is a multifaceted problem that must be tackled on all levels. You have seen that by stopping the SQL Server Service (something that won't happen in normal operation) you can get at the files, move them and attach them thus bypassing the inbuilt security in SQL Server. So, you must therefor secure your file system.
There is no single button that you can press on any computer system that will make it secure. As there is no way that it can be done. If you over secure a system then people who have a genuine need cannot access the information they need, if you undersecure it then people who shouldn't have access may be able to gain access. What access is permitted and what is not is determined by the business that it runs in.

Excellent points made. Security is in the eye of the beholder.

Ok,
But I did not mean that,
I have SQL Desctop Engin & I'm installing it on any PC
I need to secure my data schema ! and my data !
Since I put them on install CD... so any one will install the database and get its desin...
So any solution to encrypt the database file without the help of the OS ?

so i've been collecting text files with data separated with ';'
I have been using a schema.ini file to define each text file...
example:
schema.ini:
[text.txt]
Format=Delimited(\;\)
ColNameHeader=False
MaxScanRows=0
Character=OEM
Col1=File Text
Col2=problem Text
Col3=serial Text
Col4=name Text
Col5=cube Text
Col6=time Text
data in text.txt:
ASSET;S/N-BIOS;XXXXXX;DPCSXXX;1KXXX;11/21/2005 5:57:43 AM
now, the data i'm going to be receiving in the the near future has different kinds of data separated by blocks all in the same text file. for example
data in text.txt:
[AssetData]
ASSET;S/N-BIOS;XXXXXX;DPCSXXX;1KXXX;11/21/2005 5:57:43 AM
[UserData]
XXXX;XX;XX;XX
How can I parse this data(previously using a Oledb connection with the schema.ini) into individual datasets?
Thanks alot in advanced

GoodQuestion wrote: Export xls from sql
The easiest way to export data from a database to an excel file is through an Select into querry. I know this works on an Access db, never thought of trying it on an SQL server but it should still work (using ADO).
CString str;
str.Format("SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;DATABASE=%s].[%s] FROM [%s]", ExcelFile, Worksheet, table);
//pConn is a ADODB Connection
pConn->Execute(str.AllocSysString(), NULL, adExecuteNoRecords);

Thanks for reply my question. That means to me alot. Sadly, I cant get it working bec of DB_E_ERRORSINCOMMAND stuff. I dont understand what is DB_E_ERRORSINCOMMAND for? But I know error is related to spIConnection->Execute bec that is where error came from. can you please explain what is its cause? THANK YOU!!
_bstr_t bstrConnect( L"driver={sql server};"
L"server=COYDELL;"
L"Database=brntbl;UID=sa;PWD=;" );
_ConnectionPtr spIConnection;
spIConnection.CreateInstance( __uuidof(Connection ) );
spIConnection->ConnectionString = bstrConnect;
spIConnection->Open("DSN=BurnDB","","", NULL);
CString bstrCommand;
bstrCommand.Format("SELECT * INTO [Excel 8.0;DATABASE=C:\\exceltest.xls].[HoleDiameters$] FROM [HoleDiameters]");
HRESULT hr = spIConnection->Execute(bstrCommand.AllocSysString(),NULL,adExecuteNoRecords);
spIConnection->Close();
"HoleDiameters" is name of sheet and Table from DB

Hello,
I have a similar post in Asp.Net forum. My questions are related with Asp.Net 2.0 and SQL 2005 so I am not sure if this shouldn't be the best forum to post this message.
I am working on an Asp.Net 2.0 / MSSQL 2005 web site with authentication.
My web site has two type of users: "students" and "professors". They are not related!
All users need to login. Students use the role "student" and professors use the role "professor".
The information for students is different from the information of professors.
I could put all students and professors in the same table and leave some fields blank.
My option was to create the following tables:
A) "Authentication" with the fields:
[UserId], [Password], [PasswordFormat], [MobilePIN], [Email], [PasswordQuestion],
[PasswordAnswer], [IsApproved], [CreateDate], [LastLoginID] and [UserRole].
B) "Students" with the field [StudentID] and all the information fields for students.
C) "Professors" with the field [ProfessorID] and all the information fields for professors.
My questions are:
1. Am I following the right approach by using these 3 tables?
2. Should I place all info from users (students, professors and authentication) in "Authentication" table?
3. Should I keep only two tables, "Students" and "Professors" and move the login information to each record in these tables?
4. If using the 3 tables how can I know the info for a user after it logins? I could use a foreign key in Authentication table but I have 2 tables: students and professors.
Anyway this is really confusing.
Can someone, please, give me some advice of how to create the tables and set this authentication?
Thanks,
Miguel

Miguel,
Your approach is good, and placing all user info in one table is okay. If you were to use two tables, then you'd probably need separate login pages for students and professors. For the last question, I would keep track of the session (or a cookie, this would require cookies to be enabled on the one hand) and tie it to the user, maybe in the authentication table. I do not know much about asp.net but this is how I would do it with a database and php. Seems like you are on track and I hope this helps some.

If you were to go with a session id, you'd need a table holding the session id and the user associated to the session id. All you'd have to do is pass the session id from page to page.

hi
i have the following code
the code
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_InsertOrder
(@OrderId int output,
@CustomerName varchar(50),
@ShippingAddress varchar(50)
)
AS
INSERT INTO Orders (CustomerName, ShippingAddress)
VALUES
(@CustomerName, @ShippingAddress)
SELECT @OrderId=@@IDENTITY
when i try to execute it asks for declaration of the OrderID if i declare then it asks for declaration of CustomerName now i dont know how to deal with this situation can anyone tell what i can do.
Procedure 'proc_InsertOrder' expects parameter '@OrderId', which was not supplied.
or is there any proper code for the decalaration
thanks

It depends on how you are executing the procedure. As per my knowledge the correct way of executing the procedure is :
Declare @OrderID int
exec proc_InsertOrder @OrderId output, 'Akif', 'Test'
Akif

Can you tell me urgency to store whole file in sql server database.
Instead, u can save url of the file and file physically to some folder in server.
Any systematic work reflects its significance for a long time, Though I m not totally against "The Prototyping".So let's discuss in depth...

Hello,
This is urgent.
I have a Table ARTICLE_MASTER.
fields are item_code, activation_date.
I can different item_code for each article.
each article has a activation date.
select * from ARTICLE_MASTER
inner join
ARTICLE_MASTER ARTICLE_MASTER1
on ARTICLE_MASTER.item_code= ARTICLE_MASTER1.item_code
where ARTICLE_MASTER.activation_date < = getdate() and
ARTICLE_MASTER.end_date > = getdate() and
ARTICLE_MASTER.activation_date > ARTICLE_MASTER1.activation_date
order by article_master.item_code
I can have 4 rows for a single article - say 001- for Comb.
and for a given month say December, my acticle master can have 4 rows for article 001. with activation date and end date, for a single article i can have 4 rows.
say
ITEM_CODE ACTIVATION_DATE END_DATE PRICE
001 01/12/2005 31/12/2005 15
001 07/12/2005 31/12/2005 20
001 14/12/2005 31/12/2005 25
001 21/12/2005 31/12/2005 20
SO After comparison with my current date i have to decide which price to apply.
say on 2nd dec price should be 15
on 8th dec price should be 20
on 15th dec price should be 25
on 21-22th dec price should be 20
so i need to pick the appropriate row for a given date.
The query i have written above gives only the latest one say on 16th still it gives me 21st dec's row.
Please give me a solution for it.
its urgent

It may look something like this:
SELECT
am1.*
FROM
ARTICLE_MASTER am1
WHERE
getdate() BETWEEN am1.activation_date AND am1.end_date AND
am1.activation_date = (SELECT
MIN(am2.activation_date)
FROM
ARTICLE_MASTER am2
WHERE
am2.item_code = am1.item_code AND
getdate() BETWEEN am2.activation_date AND am2.end_date)
ORDER BY
item_code

You could do this with a trigger. However, why delete the row? Why not update the existing row with the new data.
Personally, I do this with a stored procedure.

I would suggest that your best course of action would be to get a book on ADO.NET and one SQL Server 2000.
