SQL Encryption in one server and decrypt in another server

$
0
0
Hello DBForums Members,

Please help me with a solusion for the below scenario :

I have two servers **SQLServerONE** (Vendor) and **SQLServerTWO** (Local).
SQLServerONE has SSN,Name,DOB. I want to encrypt the column SSN using SQL encryption and export to a txt along with Name and DOB. I will get the file in SQLServerTWO, restore that into a table and Decrypt the SSN.
Steps Performed:

**Step 1:** Created Master Key in both the server with same password.
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY
PASSWORD = 'EncyTest123!'

**Step 2:** Created Certificate and Symmetric key (Both the server same script)
CREATE CERTIFICATE DemoEncy
WITH SUBJECT = 'SSN';

CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY Sym_SSNEncy
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE DemoEncy;

**Step 3** : Created a table in both the server and added value only in SQLServerONE

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Ency_SSN](
[SSN] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Ency_SSN] [varbinary](128) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

Insert into [dbo].[Ency_SSN] (SSN) Values (‘123456789’)

Insert into [dbo].[Ency_SSN] (SSN) Values (‘987654321’)

Insert into [dbo].[Ency_SSN] (SSN) Values (‘111223333’)

**Step 4** : Encrypted the SSN column and added the encrypted value into new column in **SQLServerONE**

Open Symmetric key Sym_SSNEncy
Decryption by Certificate DemoEncy

Update [dbo].Ency_SSN SET Ency_SSN = EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('Sym_SSNEncy'),SSN)
GO

**Step 5:** Decrypt the value (Ency_SSN) in the same server (just for testing), all works good.

Open Symmetric key Sym_SSNEncy

Decryption by Certificate DemoEncy

Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),DECRYPTBYKEY(Ency_SSN)) From Ency_SSN
GO


OUTPUT :

123456789

987654321

111223333

**Step 6:** I copied the table from SQLServerOne (with the encrypted column) to SQLServerTwo

Open Symmetric key Sym_SSNEncy

Decryption by Certificate DemoEncy

Insert into [SQLServerTWO].[Ency_DB].[dbo].[Ency_SSN] (Ency_SSN,SSN)

Select Ency_SSN,SSN From [SQLServerONE].[Ency_Db].[dbo].Ency_SSN
GO

Step 7 : Tried decrypting Ency_SSN from SQLServerTWO and it was showing null value
Open Symmetric key Sym_SSNEncy
Decryption by Certificate DemoEncy
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),DECRYPTBYKEY(Ency_SSN)) From Ency_SSN
GO

**Output:**
NULL

NULL

NULL


I'm not sure if i have to generate the Master key, Certificate and Symmatric key from SQLServerONE and restore it in SQLServerTWO. I tried that but it errors out.

Guru's please help with a solution.

Thanks,
Frank

automate DDL and DML, Rails migrate vs Liquibase

$

Hi,

We are looking for a way to automate and streamline the process of deploying DDL and DML scripts to different databases - Development, test, acceptance and production - for SSIS development (ETL, XML-processing, ...).

I have some experience with Ruby on Rails, and I did like its "migrations". I went looking for a way to use it as a stand alone solution.
While doing so, I saw a reference towards Liquibase.

What tool do you use to manage this kind of database activities? Pro's cons?

Check Box Refreshing

$
0
0
I have a strange one for you. I am working on a data base for the local food bank. One form records the items that a client has taken in the last 7 days ( because clients are not suppose to come back every day) in a list box. I added a check box to the form to allow a listing in the list box of all instances that a client has received something(without any date restriction).

Opened by the form on load::

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim aCount As Integer
Dim anSQL As String

'anSQL = "select ID, adate, sac, col, couche, bebe, pannage, owing, comments from distribution where menage = "
'anSQL = anSQL & Me.OpenArgs & " AND adate > #" & Now() - 5 & "# order by adate desc

aCount = Nz(DCount("id", "distribution", " menage = " & Me.OpenArgs & " AND adate > #" & Now() - 6 & "#"), 0)

If aCount = 0 Then
txtLast_Visit.Value = "AUCUNE DOSSIER!"
lstVisits.Visible = False
txtLast_Visit.Visible = True
Else


anSQL = "SELECT distribution.ID, format([adate],'dd mmm') as aDt, IIf([sac]=-1,'X',' ') AS Distr, IIf([col]=-1,'X','') AS aCol, IIf([couche]=-1,'X','') AS aCouche, "
anSQL = anSQL & " IIf([Bebe]=-1,'X','') AS aBebe, iif([amonthlybag] = -1, 'X', '') as SacDeMois, IIf([pannage]=-1,'X', '') AS aPanage, "
anSQL = anSQL & " distribution.comments, distribution.Menage, distribution.aDate "
anSQL = anSQL & "FROM distribution WHERE menage = " & Me.OpenArgs & " AND adate > #" & Now() - 7 & "# order by adate desc "

lstVisits.RowSource = anSQL

End If
End Sub

When I use the check box to see all:

Private Sub chkAllVisits_Click()
If chkAllVisits.Value = -1 Then



anSQL = "SELECT distribution.ID, format([adate],'dd mmm') as aDt, IIf([sac]=-1,'X',' ') AS Distr, IIf([col]=-1,'X','') AS aCol, IIf([couche]=-1,'X','') AS aCouche, "
anSQL = anSQL & " IIf([Bebe]=-1,'X','') AS aBebe, iif([amonthlybag] = -1, 'X', '') as SacDeMois, IIf([pannage]=-1,'X', '') AS aPanage, "
anSQL = anSQL & " distribution.comments, distribution.Menage, distribution.aDate "
anSQL = anSQL & "FROM distribution WHERE menage = " & Me.OpenArgs & " order by adate desc "

lstVisits.RowSource = anSQL
Me.Refresh
End If

End Sub

When I click the "chkallvisits" check box, I see nothing UNLESS there is an entry in the last 7 days. If there is such an entry, I will see all past visits. I have tried refresh, requery. No difference. This seems to be very strange behavior.

Any ideas?

Screensaver Freezes Screen

$

0
I hope someone has run into this weird problem before.

A procedure reads through a data file and updates a database table. The file can have a few thousand records. Results are written to a form on screen.

A few minutes after the program begins, the computer's screensaver runs.

The problem is that when I close the screensaver and see the application screen, the form no longer displays updates. It appears to be frozen.

The underlying program still runs, but it no longer displays text on the form.

This did not happen until MS Access 13.

In theory, one could turn off the screensaver before running the program. However, the goal is to handle the problem without resorting to outside action.

Some web page said that periodic calls to SendKeys will not help because it does not send a real keypress interrupt to the operating system.

Any ideas on how to tweak the code to keep the screen from freezing up after the screensaver would be greatly appreciated.

Confusion over the normal form of two basic relations

$
0
0
I have a set of relations {A, X, Y, Z}:

Given that the functional dependencies: AX→Y, AX→Z, Y→A, Z→X, I would think that this relation would be in the normal form 1NF, because there is a partial dependency for the composite key, YZ; Y determines A and Z determines X. However, I ran across this example on a university website claiming the relationship was in 3NF. Am I wrong about this relation being in 1NF?

On a similar note, given the same relation but with functional dependencies: A→XY, Y→AZ, would this be in 3NF or BCNF, I do not see any reason why this would not be in BCNF, but I have seen a similar example where there was a further decomposition, that was also BCNF. So is the decomposition wasteful because the original relation with given dependencies was already in BCNF?

Data Server Manager

DB2: 10.5 FP 7
OS: Windows Server 2012

Since Data Studio Web console was sunset and the replacement is now Data Server Manager, I'm trying to get this installed and working.

I've installed the DSM software and I've created database connections.

I'm trying to create and run jobs against my databases, the first requirement it asked me for was to install SSH, so I got that installed with the db2 software. However when I try to run the job after installing it this is the error I'm getting.

How do I get jobs to run in Data Server Manager?

The JDBC connections inside DSM are configured with clear text password, do I need to change this?

Hi,

So my system has following table

Table: Student
StudentName Text

Table: Login
StudentName Text
LoginTime Date/Time (e.g. 5/5/2016 1.00 AM)
Punctual Yes/No

Table: Schedule
StartTime Date/Time (1.00 AM)
EndTime Date/Time (2.00 AM)

What I am trying to do is comparing the LoginTime and StartTime schedule whether the student come on time e.g. within 5 minutes or not.
I want some clue to starting with since I am new to Microsoft Access.
Thank You

Dates and Local Date Settings

$
0
0
I have been playing with dates with multiple machines having different locale settings for dates (specifically one was "France", and the others "Canadian - Francais). Lesson learnt: date settings in forms can be affected by the regional settings; I believe that a text box, for example, by definition contains a string first, even when we enter a date, and this string is subject to the local settings for dates. Which brings me to my question:

In the report to the food banks, I want users to be able to select clients by fiscal year. The condition I use is:

Between #1/4/2016# and #1/4/2017# (i.e., between April 1, 2016 and April 1, 2017)

This works, however I am wondering if would be affected by the locale setting for date (for example France vs. Canadian - Francais)? If so, how do I write the condition to ensure that the locale setting for the date would not affect the condition ( I e so that the system does not see January 4th of one year to January 4th of the next)?

How to store images?

$

Dear all,

I have an idea for a web app. I'm using Django to make it, if that makes any difference.

This app of mine will basically be an image repository where the images themselves are very "light". 3KB each max. However, I envisage at least 30-50 thousand of them.

What's the best way of storing these images on the server? Do I store the images themselves in the database, or do I store the images on the server and their paths in the database?

Thanks in advance :)

Sybase IQ taking too long to start query execution

$

Hello All,

I have a situation where Sybase IQ takes too long to start the query execution. I have looked at the execution plans, the actual execution times are just a couple of seconds but the white space or "thinking time" takes over a couple of minutes which results in extremely slow queries. I have seen a couple of runs where the queries took no time at all, and "thinking time" in those cases was only about 200ms.

I'm trying to figure out why there would be soo much "thinking time" before Sybase actually starts the query and how it can be improved. There doesnt seem to be much documentation on sybase iq website about what this "thinking time" actually is.

Cheers,
NeM

Can't populate data from two fors based on common IDs

Hi,

I have an issue trying to populate data from thee main form based on it's ID.

I have a main input form that I use to enter data. I would like to launch another form using the ID as the common link so that I can see limited data from the input form. I used the wizard to find specific data to display and got the code (below). The form opens, but it is blank. I would like to open the “frm_Rejected_WO_Date” form with the record ID that I have on the main form. Not too familiar with VBA so not sure what I am missing.

<End CODE>

Private Sub Air_Test_Click()
On Error GoTo Air_Test_Click_Err

DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Rejected_WO_Date", acFormDS, "", "[ID]=" & ID, , acNormal

Air_Test_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub

Air_Test_Click_Err:

Establishing referential constraint with parent table having version column

$
0
0
Hi All,

I am trying to establish primary key - foreign key relationship between two tables.

My parent table have fields as

Parent_ID
Version ID

The first record of any given parent_ID will have version_ID as 1 but any further updates on this record will create a new version with the same Parent_ID and Version_ID as 2. Hence, my Parent_ID and Version_Id field will act as composite primary key of the parent table.

Now, any child table which references the above parent table has only Parent_ID column as foreign key.

Oracle doesn't allow this foreign key constraint to be built on child table as foreign key(Parent_Id) doesn't refer to the composite primary key of the parent table.

To resolve this issue, i can think of a solution as -

1. Have Version_ID also as a foreign key field in the child table. However, this will create a cumbersome process of updating Version_ID in the child table whenever there is new version created for any given parent ID. So, i want't to avoid this approach.


Kindly suggest me how i can built the referential constraint based on the above table design or any changes we can do in the table design to have version concept going.


Thanks,
Mrinal

OR (`ST_peoplefilms`.`ID_idiotita` = 45))
AND (`MT_films`.`room_last` = 3)) //the specific movie I need
ORDER BY `ST_peoplefilms`.`cnt`

another try was

SELECT
`MT_films`.`ID_films` AS `ID_films`,
`ST_peoplefilms`.`ID_idiotita` AS `ID_idiotita`,
`T_idiotita`.`idiotita` AS `idiotita`,
`ST_peoplefilms`.`cnt` AS `cnt`,
`MT_films`.`room_last` AS `room_last`,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT `T_people`.`person`
ORDER BY `ST_peoplefilms`.`cnt` ASC
SEPARATOR ', ') AS `person`

which works but it returns the total of the actors by ID_films something means even 150 rows, while it doesn't limit

Could you please help?
Thank's in advance

Data / Business Analyst - What Does That Actually Mean

$
0
0
I see a lot of people from a business side (versus the tech side) tend to role into "analyst" positions doing reports and well, I am not really sure. I see a lot of them trying to cut their teeth on SQL or some kind of dialect and I wonder specifically what their job actually involves. If I were to go apply for a business reporting analyst position, what would they expect me to know. I'm a "DBA" (very insulting and lose interpretation) and mainly run ad-hoc updates on the fly and keep disks from filling up so I'm slightly fascinated by what this role actually does and is expect to know in regards to SQL / Databases. Kind of like when someone says, "I'm a consultant". I'm thinking; "WTF does that mean".
