  • RE: How to Poll SQL Server

    We poll by making an ADO connection. There have been examples where an issue would cause SQL Server to stop responding to connection requests though the service runs.

    If you want...

    Did you have any traces running at the time? Do you audit login successes?

  • RE: PERMISSION LEVEL FOR PROGRAMMERS

    I disagree with say nothing. Use the opportunity to educate (in a gentle and calm manner) the risks. Do a risks versus functionality trade-off. Let them know, based on your...

  • RE: SQL Injection protection

    Stored procedures will help against SQL Injection, but it isn't the cure in and of itself. A savvy attacker could misuse stored procedures or execute queries against system tables where...

  • RE: Identifying inactive users

    That kind of information is not stored within SQL Server. You'd have to run traces (audit login) or something similar and parse the results over time.

  • RE: How do I read the content of the SQL Server log?

    The SQL Server logs won't store the IP addresses, unfortunately, so you won't find that information available. SQL Server keeps track of MAC addresses in sysprocesses, but that's not recorded...

  • RE: Limit access to SQL Servers

    Actually, yes, but it's more of a change control procedure than anything else. This is similar to what we did on a project recently.

    For instance:

    Developer documents where username/password is stored...

  • RE: Table Permissions

    You have two separate tables and in one you can load data and the other you can't.

    You'll need to check permissions on these tables. Check to ensure the username doing...

  • RE: Limit access to SQL Servers

    The other option is something I believe Andy has mentioned... use SQL Server logins for these apps and give no permissions specifically to the user. App Roles have some issues...

  • RE: Table Permissions

    The owner of the table normally bypasses all permissions checks, just like dbo does (except dbo does for all objects). I agree with sqlSushi... stand up Profiler and see exactly...

  • RE: New dB Role

    If he's sharing a login, there's no way to grant it exclusively to him at the database level. The only way to be able to change permissions would be through...

  • RE: Overriding System Messages
