I have 2 questions:
(1) I would like to migrate a SQL database (named "myDB") from SQL server A
to SQL server B. I am planning to create a new database named "myDB" in
server B, then go back to server A to do the backup. Then restore it in
server B. Is it feasible? Anyone has a better way to do it?
(2) The second question deals with security issue and it makes me
frustrated. There is a database which is maintained by an end-user in my
company currently. He has the "db_owner" rights on this database. Now we
(MIS) are going to take over the admin work of this database. We will assign
"db_reader" & "db_writer" to him only. However, this user wrote some VB
programs to access this database (using ADO) and this programs involves some
actions of deleteing and creating temp tables in the database. If he only ha
s
"db_reader" & "db_writer" rights, then the program would fail to work. It is
not reasonable to create another SQL server login id with "db_owner" right t
o
this user, this would lose control on our admin work again. I am quite
frustrated by this... can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
Ivan1. create backup on server A then restore on server B. You must transfer
logins from server A to B
2. ">>this programs involves some
> actions of deleteing and creating temp tables in the database""
create temp tables in tembdb, not in your prod db
OR
add this user in db_ddladmin
