SQLserver2005 migration anomoly

  • I migrated our SQLserver to a larger server. For reasons I won't explain we backed up all the databases and then restored them on the new server. Of the 150 databases migrated there was one issue. The history tables are on a seperate database, data entered through a trigger.

    The owner of both databases is dbo, user being the current sa. I receive an error that user cannot access the database under the current security context.

    Both database are trustworthy.

    I have compared the security and settings with other history database, triggers, and user setups and there is no difference I can find.

    I have created a new history database and reaimed the triggers to it and get the same issue.

    I find nothing unusual in the security of the primary database, it will take data input, and updates can occur with the trigger disabled.

    I have re-written the triggers, using original typing script (not copying the script). All has failed.

    Anyone have any ideas

  • Your database users don't match up to your logins due to different SID's.

    Try running this:

    sp_msforeachdb

    'USE ?

    DECLARE @username varchar(25)

    DECLARE fixusers CURSOR

    FOR

    SELECT UserName = name FROM sysusers

    WHERE issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0)

    and suser_sname(sid) is null

    ORDER BY name

    OPEN fixusers

    FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers

    INTO @username

    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

    BEGIN

    EXEC sp_change_users_login ''update_one'', @username, @username

    FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers

    INTO @username

    END CLOSE fixusers

    DEALLOCATE fixusers

    '

  • I checked the SIDs and they match.

    Ran the script for the cursor and results were null.

    Thanks.

  • Do you use linked servers to access the history table in the other server if so your new sql server should be having its service account to access network resources.
