I've run across other forums that are not so dominated by "rules tyrants" like here. I'd suggest asking in those forums. I've gotten polite responses from folks at www.dbforums.com
Sorry I can't help you myself. I don't know anything about the subject.

So SQL really isn't my cup of tea and I was poking through the System stored procedures generated by Enterprise Manager at creation-time of a database. While I was looking I noticed a stored proc called dt_validateloginparams. Now, I'm curious if one can use this stored proc to log users into an app or web-app that uses sql login criteria.
I scoured google as much as possible, and only found discussions on how to remove the procedure. Apparently it's not a very popular sp.
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.

Will the SQL 2005 client tools allow me to connect to a 6.5 database? I want to run profiler and query analyser. Enterprise Manager for 6.5 is a joke.
Or any other ideas for seeing what is happening, realtime, on a 6.5 SQL database.

Great Idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Because I don't have it installed? Because I am on a clients site and have to jump through many hoops to get anything installed?
I will try it when back in my own office, but was hoping somebody out there might help, not treat me as being one of the many lazy slackers on here who wants everybody to do their work for them.

Apology to Paul issued for this below. I won't delete this post as a) I hate it when people do that and b) Colin copied the whole lot in his reply so there'd be no point!:-O<br />

You could have said that up front so that people would know.

And how were we supposed to know that??
Everyone I know is using a minimum of 7.0 (mostly 2000), so 6.5 is a little hard to come by.

I don't see any 1 votes.  You don't deserve them because you have made a correction and quite graceously too. So many people don't do that and just jump in and argue back (which just irritates everybody). Sorry, I can't help in this instance. I hope you get your problem solved.

My last response to you was out of order. Sorry.  A bad day, turning into a bad week. Doesn't bode well for the month.
I know most people on here post a question as their first port of call, hoping for somebody to do their job for them. I have STFW for this, asked around and got nothing. Posting is generally my last resort, and I got the same answer given to a lot of other posters and it narked.
I should have been clearer in my question, but I generally assume that the OP has tried, or is unable to do, what he is asking about. Unless they are from NIIT.
Thanks to Colin for picking me up on this.

I've been having a bad few weeks like this too.
Though the bottom line is you're going to have to try it anyway to see what works and what doesn't if you're going to support it, even if someone does say "Yeah, it works!". Personally, I trust what my testing tells me, not what other people think works.

That's OK. I see lots of posts where the obvious advice to give is 'Try it yourself and see what happens'. For some reason this doesn't occur to many people, especially those posting from the Indian subcontinent.

Hi Sivaram,
As far as i know, you can't have deleted tuple/row showing in any DBMS, not only in MS SQL Server. If you want to achieve this, you can use triggers (after or before, depends on the implementation). And you may also will like to use virtual table named "Deleted".
Regards,
Adeel
Do rate the reply, if it helps or even if it doesnot, because it helps the members to know, what solved the issue. Thanks.

Hi Adeel,
Thanx 4 ur reply,
Actually the client is deleting from front end i.e VB and here i can see it through database table only, im not able to know which one he has deleted as i need to keep track of the data. when he delete any value from front end can i get a blank space on tat particular row without the next row updating the deleted row.
pls do help me

No. You might want to consider some kind of deletion flag as a field in the row, so you can know that this record had existed, but has now been deleted.

Why not, rather that deleting the row, update the row and set every column to NULL with the exception of the Id column?

hi
You can create a back up table and write a trigger on the original Table from which u r client is deleting data.In trigger u wite the code to insert the deleting data in to a backup table.You will get the deleted data from the table "Deleted".U can use this to insert into back up table.Dont forget to insert the datetime at which the data is deleted..
Regards
Joe

That should work. Are you sure that your values are not distinct? Have you taken into account differences in the time portion of the values?
