Database activity in SQL Server

Hi, I m trying to develop a query to get specific information like when the last time queries/transactions were executed against a database, other than by
particular login (Agent service).  Is there any way to Develop a query to do this?. and also Return who the user was that last executed the transactions/queries?
I have something from Aaron Bertrand like the below link, But that won't filter the login\user level. Is it doable? Please advise. Thank you!
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2008/05/06/when-was-my-database-table-last-accessed.aspx:

Hello,
You can schedule a SQL Server Profiler trace to run and capture the TSQL->SQL:BatchStarting, TSQL->SQL:BatchCompleted and Stored Procedures->RPC:Completed events and make sure you include NTUserName and LoginName columns.
The trace file can then be queried like explained on the following resource:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188425.aspx
Hope this helps.

  • SAP and Database Encrption on SQL Server 2005 or 2008

    Hi.  I searched as best I could for any existing threads on this topic, and could not find any, so I hope it's OK to raise a new one.
    We're running SAP ECC 6.0 on a SQL 2005 database.  Database size is around 3.3 TB, with Trans Log of about 550GB, storage is HP EVA.
    I've been asked to report on how Database Encryption would impact our systems, both from the perspective of enabling it initially and then how it would affect performance going forward.
    I've read a few White Papers,  for example:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    .. and from what I'm reading, it looks like I would want to be moving to SQL Server 2008 as a first step.  Does anyone have any experience of implementing SQL encryption for a SAP database, either in 2K5 or 2K8?
    All comments or help will be welcomed.
    Thanks

  • Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

    Hello,
    i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.
    The way using 10g-generic-connectivity with ODBC works fine, but the 11g-DG4MSQL makes problems.
    Environment:
    Server PEGASUS (32bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0
    Server OBELIXUS (32bit Windows 2000 Sp4) with MS-SQL-Server 2005
    On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:
    "D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1" => home directory of 10g
    "D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\" => home directory of the gateway

    At first your configuration is not really correct.
    =====================================================
    In the LISTENER.ORA from 10g, you must only refer to the database and hsodbc 10g
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = INTEGRAT)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (SID_NAME = INTEGRAT)
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = MSSQLTEST)
    (PROGRAM = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\hsodbc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1521))
    ===========================================================
    Then you have to create a new listener (new name) in the gateway oracle_home on a different port than instance database:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\network\admin\listener.ora
    SID_LIST_LISTENERGTW =

    (PROGRAM=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\BIN\dg4msql)
    LISTENERGTW=
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1522))
    To start it, use the command below:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\bin\LSNRCTL start listenergtw
    ===========================================================
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:
    match the DG4MSQL with the listener on 1522 port
    HSODBC match with binary10g on listener 1521 port
    MSSQLDG =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = DG4MSQL))
    (HS = OK)
    MSSQL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = MSSQLTEST))
    (HS = OK)
    Try to configure and let me know your feedback

  • Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

    Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
    to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
    Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
    Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
    Is this configuration supported? 

    Hello,
    According to the
    BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
    cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
    In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
    SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
    Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
    In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql  under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
    However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
    The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
    In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
    database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

    Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts.  If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
    Is it all users, or just a handful?

  • Add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go

    I wonder if there is any method to add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go and without using transact code.
    I can add a single user to a certain database “Q” for example by right click on the user “U1” for example then properties then in user mapping tab select
    the database “Q”, so there should be a method to add multiple users ( U1,U2,U3…) to this database?

    Many thanks Visakh16,
    I can do this using the below script, but what I am searching for is do to this without any scripting.
    USE TestDatabase; --Make sure you have the right database
    DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX) = '';
    SELECT @sql = @sql + 'CREATE USER ' + name + ' FOR LOGIN ' + name + ';

    What is your SharePoint server’s version?
    Please make sure you use the farm admin account to launch SharePoint configuration wizard. If not, please log in with this account, then check the effect.
    In addition, check if you create a named instance, such as, servername\sharepoint, however, you only specify the servername in the configuration wizard. If this is

  • Migrate  oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

    Hi All,
    I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
    Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
    Platform : Aix
    Kindly help me out

    Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
    Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
    As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

  • OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server?

    Would you put OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server or separate?
    I realize the ideal would be separate, but that means 2 expensive licenses instead of 1.  Most of our OLTP stuff happens during the day while OLTP processing happens at night (so good use of resources) if just 1 server.  Also, the disks that hold
    the files could have different allocations (small chunks for the OLTP disks, large for the OLAP disks).  Also, by being on the same database server, the OLTP data is immediately accessible for processing into the warehouse.
    Or, is it just a cardinal rule to never mix the two worlds as server completely different purposes?
    Thanks.

    Answer given in simillar below thread would help you for sure:

    Is keeping your OLAP and OLTP databases on the same server is considered bad practice?

  • Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

    Hi,
    we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
    Following are the steps which I assumed :
    1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
    2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
    3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
    4.     Report data testing
    Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
    Kindly reply

    Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
    I will follow the steps you have suggested.
    Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
    I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.
