I installed SQL Server 2012 Express and I'm learning from a book on SQL Server administration. My task is to write a batch file to copy data from a table and export it to an Excel spreadsheet.
I've got the instance name right and my username but log in fails because of password. When I enter Management Studio and click connect I see my username but password is blank, I successfully connect to my databases this way. How do I set a password for my account? I think I can't log in using SQLCMD because I don't have this set. My username is the same as my windows username, using the password that I log on to windows with doesn't work.
SQLCMD -S CRAIG-PC\SQLExpress -U CRAIG-PC\Craig -P *********
-d AdventureWorks
-Q "SELECT * FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail" -o C:\ExportDir\export.csv
This is the command in the batch file that I'm trying to connect and query the database. If I take out -P ******* SQL Server is waiting for a password. If I don't use a username or password connection is refused.
Remote connections are enabled using tcp, but this is a local install.
Use the '-E' switch to make your connection a trusted (Window's authentication) one, then you don't need user name and password at all (provided you have sufficient rights on your machine)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162773.aspx
Note in my python code below, I don't implement the user or password.
Hope that helps
_query = "CREATE DATABASE %s ON (FILENAME = '%s'), (FILENAME = '%s') FOR ATTACH;" %(_database, mdffilepath, logfilepath)
command_process = SubP.Popen(['sqlcmd','-b', '-E',
'-S', _server,
'-d', 'master',
'-q', _query],
stdin = SubP.PIPE,
stdout = SubP.PIPE,
stderr = SubP.STDOUT,
shell = True)
_stdOut, _stdError = command_process.communicate()
Check the name of the database, ie "AdventureWorks" should be "AdventureWorks2012"
sounds like you are using windows authentication you can remove the -u and -p. when those are not provided sqlcmd will use windows authentication.

I am using ubuntu 16.04 and mysql DB ,i configured DB for icinga2 server and i created separate user in database.
somedays back i deleted that user from db now i am not able access icingaweb2 UI,
Getting below error while trying to access to the link.
All configured authentication methods failed. Please check the system log or Icinga Web 2 log for more information.
I followed the below link to install icinga2 server
Please Help.
I resolved the issue by re-creatinging a setup token in in the Icinga Web 2 by using bellow command
sudo icingacli setup token create
i got some error's while creating setup token and it is easily resolved by using [1]: https://monitoring-portal.org/index.php?thread/40111-icingacli-does-not-work/
If you still have access to the MySQL DB you should do a backup first of your icinga2 DB.
mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
Then purge MySQL or follow the guide on how to reset your root password
After you have access to the DB again if you purged MySQL use this to bring your data back in.
mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] < [backupfile.sql]
If you only lost your password to IcingaWeb2 or now have access to MySQL then create a MD5 based BSD password algorithm:
openssl passwd -1 "password"
Note: The switch to openssl passwd is the number one (-1) for using the MD5 based BSD password algorithm.
Insert the user into the database using the generated password hash:
````
INSERT INTO icingaweb_user (name, active, password_hash) VALUES ('icingaadmin', 1, 'hash from openssl');

I'm a little green at this, and I hope the issue I'm having is a simple one...edit: new information at bottom
I need to make a connection to a remote mysql (Amazon RDS) database.
After following a few tutorials, I have unixodbc and libmyodbc installed and configured on the client, but when I try to connect via isql, I get the error
[08S01][unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
The most confusing part about this error is that I'm not trying to connect to a local database, but rather to a remote one. I do not have a mysql.sock file on the client...this isn't the issue though is it?
I'm sensing a configuration error but I'm just not sure what it could be.
If I run odbcinst -j then the output is:
DRIVERS............: /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini is:
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 5
[MySQL ODBC 515 Driver]
Description = ODBC 5.515 for MySQL
DRIVER = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5-5.1.5.so
SETUP = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 3
Please note that I had to make up this configuration myself, I did a find for libmyodbc* and found these two .so files, thus set up a driver for each of them. A search for libodbcmyS* yields:
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1.0.0
So, I don't know what else that configuration could be.
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini is:
[target_db]
Driver = MySQL
Server = [servername.com]
Port = 3306
Database = [databasename]
Option = 2
User = [username]
Password = [password]
I've tried different options in "Driver", changing it from MySQL, to MySQL ODBC 515 Driver, to the path to the .so file (eg: /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so) and all yield the same result.
I'm running:
odbcinst -i -d -f /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -i -s -l -f /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -s -q
Which prints out the name of my connection, ie [target_db]
Then, I try the connect:
isql -v target_db user password
or just
isql -v target_db
and get the error shown above.
Anyone happen to know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks a bunch-
EDIT:
Wanted to mention that I'm able to connect to the database from this server using the mysql command line tools.
I installed a local mysql database, and I'm able to connect to this using isql. It seems to be ignoring my odbc.ini file entirely, i have to enter a name with the command, ie isql -v test-database, but it still tries to connect to localhost despite my settings.
I feel as though I've tried everything but will keep at it and will post if i find a solution.
You could try to connect using the ip of your server instead of the dns entry on the "Server" line of odbc.ini.. Have you verified the driver is installed with phpinfo()?
Try to set the environment variable ODBCINI with the path of your odbc.ini file.
Keep in mind that the odbc.ini file you point to must be "write-accessible" by the user that is running the program (i.e. the user must have permissions to write in this file).
chmod g+w .odbc.ini did it for me since we run the DB with ORACLE-Start and the crs-User seems to be in charge
//update: when feeding mysql passwords, -ppassword works. -p password does -not- work. Problem solved.//
We have hundreds of databases on our work servers, and I'd like to write a ruby script that automates the process of creating duplicate versions of them on my local machine for development purposes.
I've been trying to use net-ssh to create the tunnel, but (host, user, pass, etc. are censored for obvious reasons):
require 'net/ssh'
HOST = 'xxx'
USER = 'yyy'
PASS = 'ppp'
Net::SSH.start( HOST, USER, :password => PASS ) do|ssh|
puts "inside ssh tunnel"
puts ssh.exec!('ruby -v')
puts ssh.exec!('mysql -u zzz -p pswrd -h c3 will_il_raw -e "select * from deeds limit 1"')
end
results in the output:
inside ssh tunnel
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [x86_64-linux]
followed by an indefinite hang. Interestingly, if I ssh into the same computer via the console, 'ruby -v' returns 1.9.3. If I enter that mysql query there, it successfully returns one line of the named table.
I assume the solution has something to do with port forwarding, but here my limited knowledge begins to fail me utterly.
The machine running the mysql server is not the same machine as I am accessing it from, which is not, in turn, the machine I am actually sitting at. I need to connect the dots and apparently have no idea how to go about this properly.
Any protips would be much appreciated.
In MySQL syntax, when feeding a password using -p[password], there is no space between -p and the password.
Because the script's version of the syntax had a space, the result of the query was a prompt requesting the password, which caused the hang on the far end of the SSH tunnel.
I'm trying to do a php script to backup my database.
Here's what I've tried so far :
$command = "mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] | gzip > db.sql.gz";
$this->output = system($command);
How do I get the password and
username from databases.yml ?
How can I do a script that sends me
the backup file, instead of saving it
on the server (à la phpmyadmin) ?
You can create a symfony task. If you pass in an environment (i.e. dev, prod) or connection you get access to the Doctrine connection manager and create a connection. You can use that connection to make a database dump or get the connection details from the connection manager.
You can use the doctrine insert sql task as template for your task. I've done similar in the past.
I use a ruby program to download data from staging server and to populate that data to my local mysql server where the userid is root and password is empty.
cmd = "mysql -u #{user} -p'#{password}' my_db < out.sql"
Since password is empty, I get prompted for password. I just have to hit enter. I would like to avoid that. What's the fix?
Omit the -p option.
