question when using application role

Hi,
If i use application role...how do i pass the connection string in order
to connect to sql server? Can anyone give me an example?
--
Thanks a lot!
regards,
florenceleeWhen you use an application role, the app connects to the server in EXACTLY
the same way it would if there were NO appl role..
However AFTER the connection is made the app executes.
sp_Setapprole stored procedure, passing in the role name and password.
There is an example in books online. This causes the entire permission set
for the connection to be completely replaced by the permissions associated
with the role...
Hope this helps.

question regarding referenced views and replication order

You can update the view definition and hope that this updates the
dependencies correctly. If it doesn't you can use sp_addscriptexec to add
all the views in the correct order. Note that in SQL Server 2005 you can
specify the article order (@.processing_order) to get round this type of
issue.

Stefan,
replication of views and procs doesn't follow the usual paradigm in
replication. Changes to these programming objects aren't picked up by the
log-reader, so we have to resort to some sort of manual solution to pick up
changes to replicated objects and apply them which ever way we go about it.
The script to generate the view creation scripts could be based on the view
definition - in which case it'll always be upto date if you even need to run
the whole thing again. Ad-hoc changes can meanwhile be done using individual
views.

Question on SQL Server2000s order by clause

Hi,
I have problem of order by clase.
Must I specify the column in both select clause and order by clause
so as to get the correct result?

If I omit the order by column in select clause(for example:
select order.*, cl.ID from T_ORDER order, T_CLIENT cl where ... order by cl.code),
would MS SQL server 2000 still correctly or ignore order by clause completely?


It seems the latter actually happens.

BTW, how would other DBMS handle this case?

Regards,
Justinin SQL the ORDER BY clause is independent of the actual query is so far as you can sort by a column that is not listed in the select list

for example

select fname , lastname, middle
from t1
order by zipcode

on a side note you can also order by the ordinal number of the columns in the result set but this is confusing and not good form

ex
select fname , lastname, middle
from t1
order by 2

does this answer your question?sql

Question on SQL Server 2000 - 2005

I am a DB2 DBA that has been asked to become familiar enough with SQL
Server in order to become actively involved in its installation,
implementation, and to review database backup/recovery procedures. SQL
Server will be used by a vendor packaged application.

The problem is that we are awaiting word on whether it will be SQL
Server 2000 or 2005 we will be working with. I have been told that
there are considerable differences between the two versions.

There is an upcoming local 5 day class on Administering SQL Server 2000
that I would like to take. (outline below)

Question is, are the differences between the two versions so drastic as
to render this class less than useful, especially in terms of
installation and basic db maintenance functions?

Many thanks in advance.
Gerry

Everything that works in SQL 2000 works in SQL 2005, at least almost. But
SQL 2005 may offer new and better ways that what you learn on the SQL 2000
class.

The one area where the SQL 2000 class may be more confusing than helpful
if you settle on SQL 2005, is installation. The setup program is different,
there are different configuration issues etc.

the training materials for 2005 have not yet been released. At least to
them.

I will certainly do my best to understand the installation differences
between the versions.
