How to script Sprocs permissions in Management Studio?

I am dissapointed that script options are missing in Management Studio. I
never understand why a good feature goes away in a newer version.
Is there any way to script the permissions for stored procedures?
John Dalberg
Depends on how you script them. If you select the stored
procedure and select "Script Stored Procedure" you won't get
the permissions. If you go from the database level, Tasks
and Generate SQL Scripts (or whatever other ways there are
to invoke the Generate SQL Server Scripts Wizard, you have
more options in the scripting. If you script the stored
procedures for the database and select to include object
level permissions, the grants will be scripted with the
stored procedures.

Not in SQL Server 2005. I found out later that it can be done at the
database level. Still not as convenient as pre 2005.

how to script security permissions?

I have a very large table that is refreshed periodically. Since it's
so big, I do a 'drop table', 'create table', 'create index' then a bulk
load. It's much faster than doing a 'delete from'. I also do a
'shrinkdb' as part of this process.

The problem, however, is that the user permissions are also dropped in
this process. So, how can I script the user permissions? For example,
how do I give 'MyUser' select access to 'MyTable' in 'MyDB'? Many
thanks!!

So why not do a TRUNCATE TABLE instead? This is a minimally logged
operation, and you maintain indexes, permissions etc.

I guess you can do this with DMO, if you want to do this programmatically.
However, I have not used DMO myself.

Although keeping indexes is sometimes a good thing, it's also sometimes
beneficial to drop all indexes before the truncate and only add them
back when all the data loading is complete.

Of course, it depends on how the data loading is being managed (in my
case, I happen to be loading 3 1/2 million records from a non-R DBMS,
and having to do it one row at a time - I'd rather not have the indexes
rebuilt for every insert)

Damien|||Thank you, everyone. I did not know about the TRUNCATE TABLE option.
But accomplishing this objective using DROP TABLE, CREATE TABLE, and so
on, has required that I learn many other SQL Server methods, so it's
good for me. I spent more time developing the solution but SQL Server
doesn't care one way or the other and both methods still get the job
done in the same amount of time. So, once again, thanks everyone for
your input!

How to script Role Memebers

Is there any way to script Databse Role(s) and Role Memeber(s) using SQL-SMO?

The workaround i am using here is, set the server connection execution mode to CaptureSQL and and use AddMemeber method while looping through Server.Database.Roles.EnumMemebers. This creates a string collection of sp_addrolemembers. (let me know if someone wants to have a look at this code)

I couldn't even figureout how to do this using SQL Server Management Studion. When i script the entire database using SQL Server Mangement Studio, i dont see sp_addrolemember statements.

Am I missing something?

Try something like this:

Dim scrDBScript As Scripter
Dim objSMOObjects(100) As SqlSmoObject
Dim intObjCount As Integer
intObjCount = 0

Dim srv As Server
Dim srvConn As ServerConnection
srv = New Server("MyServer")
srvConn = srv.ConnectionContext
srvConn.LoginSecure = True

Dim db As Database
Dim objRoles As DatabaseRoleCollection
Dim objRole As DatabaseRole

db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")
objRoles = db.Roles
For Each objRole In objRoles
objSMOObjects(intObjCount) = objRole
intObjCount += 1
Next

scrDBScript = New Scripter(srv)
scrDBScript.Options.FileName = "c:\DBScript.sql"
scrDBScript.Options.IncludeHeaders = True
scrDBScript.Options.AppendToFile = True

ReDim Preserve objSMOObjects(intObjCount - 1)
scrDBScript.Script(objSMOObjects)

This code will create a script of each role defined in the AdventureWorks database. Hope that helps.

|||

Allen, Thanks for replying on this! However, this code only genrates sp_addrole statements. What I am looking for is to script rolememebers (sp_addrolememeber).

Any thoughts?

|||

Not sure if this works, but if it doesn't I think you'll get the idea:

db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")
objRoles = db.Roles
For Each objRole In objRoles
Dim colMembers As System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
Dim strMember As String
colMembers = objRole.EnumMembers
For Each strMember In colMembers
objSMOObjects(intObjCount) = objRole
intObjCount += 1
Next
Next

The EnumMembers method of the DatabaseRole object returns a string collection with the members of the role in the collection.

How to script permissions?

I'm using SQL Server 2000. I have an application that uses three
databases. Currently, when a new user is added (Windows Integration),
I go to each database, create the login then go to each spoc and give
that user rights.
Is there a faster more efficient way to do this? For example, I have
maybe two or three scripts (for various permission levels) that I can
drop in a user name and it does everything?
Thanks,
BrettYou could probably use the GRANT statement and dynamic SQL to do the trick.

To be more automated, I'd like to build this process into application
deployment. Are there any spocs I can run to setup a new user login
and then start assigned specific permissions to objects in a database?
Thanks,
Brett|||If you want the user to have execute permission to every proc you could
use this
--Grab all the procedures for the current DB
SELECT IDENTITY(INT,1,1) AS ID,
SPECIFIC_NAME
INTO #Procedurelist
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES --Only Procs
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(SPECIFIC_NAME),
'IsMSShipped') =0
AND ROUTINE_TYPE='PROCEDURE'
ORDER BY SPECIFIC_NAME
DECLARE
@.Loopid INT,
@.MaxId INT,
@.UserName VARCHAR(50)
--This is the user that will get the execute permissions
SELECT @.UserName = 'SomeUser'
--Grab start and end values for the loop
SELECT @.Loopid = 1,
@.MaxId = MAX(ID)
FROM #Procedurelist
DECLARE
@.SQL VARCHAR(500),
@.ProcName VARCHAR(400)
--This is where the loop starts
WHILE @.Loopid <= @.MaxId BEGIN
--grab the procedure name
SELECT @.ProcName = SPECIFIC_NAME
FROM #Procedurelist
WHERE ID = @.Loopid
--construct the statement
SELECT @.SQL = 'GRANT EXECUTE ON ' + @.ProcName + ' TO ' + @.UserName
PRINT (@.SQL) --change PRINT to EXECUTE if you want it to run
automatically
--increment counter
SET @.Loopid = @.Loopid + 1
END
--clean up
DROP TABLE #Procedurelist

How to script out my .mdf database I have in Visual Studio?

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I have an .mdf database inside my Visual Studio "Server Explorer" under "Data Connections."

How do I script out this database, including the stored procedures in it? In other words, I want to export a SQL script that will create this database.

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to working with database management. I thought I created this .mdf inside my local install of SQL Server 2005 Express, but maybe I did it somehow inside Visual Studio in the Server Explorer. When I open up SQL Server Management Studio Express I don't see this database. I did locate the .mdf on my local C drive but I haven't been able to get Mgt Studio to open it.

Hi hapax_legomenon,

I use the Database Publishing Wizard to script my databases. You can select schema, data, schema and data, and be selective about which database objects you want and don't want. Microsoft wrote it, it's free, and on my list of "must-have" utilities. Here's the URL:

how to script out .mdf file to .sql?

Hi

I am using Sqlserver2005. I need to convert .mdf to sql script. how can I do this?

Thanks

In your SQL management studio you right click on the database node and select "Tasks-->Generate Scripts..." This will start a wizard for you.

|||

Tasks->Generate Scripts will only generate a script to re-create the database. It will not create any table, let alone the table data.

Download the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard. This will script the entire database for you.

Hi Jos,

Through wizard it asks for database name. But I don't have any database created on SQLServer Management Studio. I just have .mdf and .ldf files.

How can I create sqlscript using those files?

Thanks

You have to first import the database in sql server. Right click on databases and select Attach database.

Thank you Richard. Its working.

How To Script Jobs In SQL Server ?

How to create SQL script out of job in SQL Server ?
I know there is a way thru EM, but is there any stored procedure or any function that will return the SQL script of any job.
I want to script all jobs on my server just as a part backing up mechanism.
Thanks
Decasto.After starting Profiler, going into EM and scripting a job I noticed two procs being called...

msdb..sp_help_jobstep @.job_id = XXX
and
msdb..sp_help_jobschedule @.job_id = XXX

soooo I suppose you could step through msdb..sysjobs and process each job you find with one or both of the above procs.

How to script existing database role WITH securables?

Hello!

Please, help with the subject. SMO generates only this:

USE [DB1]

GO

/****** Object: DatabaseRole [VIP_RDR] Script Date: 05/28/2007 03:48:05 ******/

CREATE ROLE [VIP_RDR] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]

Securables are not included for some reason.

Thank you.

Well, SMO does not do that.

So - "manually", using GRANT (together with select from sys.objects if you can distinct database objects using select clause)

Good luck!

Usually, when you add an IDENTITY column you will want to add a unique
or primary key constraint on that column. Although that's not
mandatory, IDENTITY itself won't prevent duplicates in all
circumstances because the auto-generated value can be overridden or the
seed can be changed. Also, IDENTITY is typically referenced by a
foreign key, for which a constraint is required.
Depending on your requirements you can add a constraint like this:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD CONSTRAINT ak_table_name_change_num UNIQUE (changenum) ;

How To Script

I need to update a value in IMA_GLInvAcctNbr from 11283 to 11500. the table
name is dbo.item. What would my script look like to do this in SQL server
2005? The column has a silver key by it too in SQL Server Management
Studio.

It means that it is in a foreign key relationship to another table.

How to schedule DBCC INDEXDEFRAG the best way

HI
I would like to optimize indexes on two databases dbA and
dbB. The optimization must be able to be configured by a
non DBA, with a script run after the installation of the
SQL Server and the user applications. The job has to be
scheduled.
Since the requirements are 24*7 access to all tables I
cannot (?)use DBCC REINDEX, which - what I understand -
should give me the best optimization of my existing
indexes regarding diskstructure etc., because it places
locks on the tables while running.
The next best thing must then - to my knowlegde - be DBCC
INDEXDEFRAG. (Note: Update of statistics are handled!)
Unfortunately I have some troubles scheduling DBCC
INDEXDEFRAG using a job.
The index optimization configured by the Maintenance Plan
Wizard uses DBCC REINDEX so that is out of the question,
except if xp_sqlmaint has another swith that can be used
instead of -RebldIdx (I cannot find an "indexdefrag
switch" it in BOL)'
Then I build a script which explicitely mentioned every
table and every index of both dbA and dbB to be optimized.
The script looked like this:
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysindexes WHERE name
= 'PK_ACT')
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG ('dbA', [ACT],[PK_ACT])
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysindexes WHERE name
= 'PK_ACT_ASSOC')
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG ('dbA', [ACT_ASSOC],[PK_ACT_ASSOC])
etc....
Unfortunalty, the script could not be pasted in the
command box of the job step since it migth have been to
long (670 linex approx.)
I of course could place the script externally in the file
system and have a call to osql.exe scheduled, but I would
rather have the DBCC INDEXDEFRAG statement:
- placed "internally" in the SQL Server rather than in the
file system.
- be able to make a call to DBCC INDEXDEFRAG without
having to specify each and every table/index to be
optimized, but - in the same way that DBCC REINDEX are
handled by the Maintenance Plan Wizard - just
specify: "these are the databases I want to process, now
do it for me!"
I captured and tweaked a script (bottom of message) to
setup the maintenance plan and job it runs okay, but with
DBCC REINDEX instead of DBCC INDEXDEFRAG:
The interesting part is this:
SET @.strMaintenanceCommand = 'EXECUTE
master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint ''-PlanID ' + convert(varchar
(256),@.MaintenancePlanID) + ' -WriteHistory -RebldIdx
100'''
If only "-RebldIdx" could be replaced with something else.
Could it'

OSQL.EXE is not any more or less "internal" than SQL Server Agent. both are
client applications which logs on to SQL Server and executes SQL commands.
> If only "-RebldIdx" could be replaced with something else.
> Could it'
Xp_sqlmaint is basically just a wrapper around sqlmaint.exe, where the
sqlmaint.exe logs on to SQL Server and execute the commands as specified by
the command-line parameters. Unfortunately, there's no command-line
parameter which makes the exe execute DBCC INDEXDEFRAG commands (to the best
of my knowledge, supported by Books Online).
My suggestion is that you write a stored procedure which has first a cursor
that uses the sysobjects or INFORMATION_SCHEM.TABLES to for each table in a
cursor. Inside this cursor, you have another cursor (another loop) where you
use sysindexes and loop each index. Inside this second loop, you now have
both table and index name, so you can construct and execute the DBCC
INDEXDEFRAG command. Just make sure that you in the cursor definition
exclude system tables, statistics etc (use functions such as OBJECTPROPERTY,
INDERPROPERTY etc).
You can probably write this as an sp_ and put it in master. Then have your
own table in which you store the database name for the databases you want to
defrag (write a simple UI if this need to be configurable for an end-user).
Then in your job, you have a cursor which loop this table with database
names in a cursor (having dbname in a variable, @.db), and execute:
EXEC @.db..sp_DefragAllTable --or whatever you called the proc

How To Run SQL Script

Hi,

I have a SQL script which create few tables.
Currently, I have to paste the scripts to the SQL Enterprise Manager
and highlight one by one to run it. It can't seem to run it as "one
unit".

My script looks like below:

CREATE TABLE T1 AS ...;
CREATE TABLE T2 AS ...;

Any comments?

Thanks in advance.You can run them as a single unit, if these are just CREATE TABLE
statements. Are you getting any errors?

However if you are creating objects with cyclic dependencies you may have to
make sure the dependant objects must be created before the parent object.
One alternative to this is to use CREATE SCHEMA DDL & details can be found
in SQL Server Books Online.
