Hi,
I need to associate an existing Windows account with an existing SQL Server
2000 user, but have not found the stored procedure for this.
Can somebody guide me on this please?
Thanks in advance,
Juan Dent, M.Sc.Is this the case of an orphanned user, due to moving the db from one domain
to another or something? There is a procedure called sp_change_users_login,
but that will not work with Windows accounts.
Can you simply grant access to that Windows login to SQL Server using
sp_grantlogin, and add associated user in the database using
sp_grantdbaccess? You'll have to apply the permissions manually though.

associated with a Windows account.
Looking in SQLSErver Enterprise Manager, in the Users folder of the database
, it looks something like this:
dbo DENTDEVELOPMENT\JuanDent
isadmin
isuser
See? What I want is to associate the login above with isadmin as well as dbo
.
Is that possible?

Associate User to Login
Is there a way to associate an existing user in a database to an existing
SQL Server login?
This is SQL Server 2000.
I've restored a database from a backup and when I look at the users, the
users which were there before don't have a Login Name associated with them.
The only way I found to associate it is to delete the user and go to the
login to give that user database access (which automatically creates the
user in the database). If I try to give the user database access with the
old user still in the database, it will give me an error indicating that the
user already exists.
The reason for this is I didn't create the database and the users and was
hoping to associate the user's to the obvious logins to avoid changing any
permissions or roles by accident or omission. Using the existing user would
keep the same configuration for that user.
Thank you,
Gary
This is what sp_change_users_login is for.
Or transfer the logins properly in the first place using sp_help_revlogin (search KB for this).

associate each product with multiple bikes (was "How should i.....")
Hello, im brand new to these forums, scrolled through a bit of the forum(mainly trying to figure out how to go about what im about to ask) and it seems like a good forum...anyways onto my question.
i am in need of ideas/know-how on how to structure a database like such:
its an online motorcycle accessories website, and this is the information i need to store in the db(basically these will be my tables in the db)
bike manufacturer
bike name
products
now my main question is how would i structure those tables so i can get this effect.
each product in the product table needs to have a bike associated to it, 99% of the time it will be more than one bike associated to it, so how would i go about doing that?
originally i had set it up with the bikes name being different columns in the products table with a bit type set to 1 if that product was available for that bike and 0 if it wasnt available. however as you are probably already thinking that isnt the best way to do that.
so what is the best way?
any info at all would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advanceif the products table has product_id as its PK, and if the bikes table has bike_id as its PK, then you need
create table bikeproducts
( product_id integer not null references products(product_id)
, bike_id integer not null references bikes(bike_id)
, primary key(product_id,bike_id)
)
this "relationship" or "linking" or "many-to-many" table allows you to add a row for each occurrence of a relationship -- one bike, multiple products, and one product, multiple bikes|||Thank you very much, that makes alotta sense, and i understand what i have to do, thanks again
