I'm refreshing (restoring) a database and would like to keep the users from
the original database. Is there a efficient way to extract users, restore
the database and then re-apply the users. I'm not talking about logins as
I'm familiar with sp_help_revlogin.
Thanks.
RonThe Users stay with the db when you back it up and will be there after the
restore.You may need to remap the login to the users an can do that with
sp_change_users_login. Here is a bunch of info related to that topic.

You can get the information from the database prior to the restore and save
it somewhere for scripting back into the database later.
For SQL 2000:
sp_helpuser
sp_helprotect
Although these still work in SQL 2005, they miss some securables. You can
also look at the new dynamic management views. Start by examining:
sys.database_permissions
sys.database_principals
sys.database_role_members
Here are a couple of queries that may help you get started.
-- Permissions
select u.name, p.permission_name, p.class_desc,
object_name(p.major_id) ObjectName, state_desc
from sys.database_permissions p join sys.database_principals u
on p.grantee_principal_id = u.principal_id
order by ObjectName, name, p.permission_name
-- Role Memberships
select u.name DatabaseRole, u2.name Member
from sys.database_role_members m
join sys.database_principals u
on m.role_principal_id = u.principal_id
join sys.database_principals u2
on m.member_principal_id = u2.principal_id
order by DatabaseRole

Extracting Users for restore
I'm refreshing (restoring) a database and would like to keep the users from

I'm familiar with sp_help_revlogin.
Thanks.

|||Ron,
You can get the information from the database prior to the restore and save
it somewhere for scripting back into the database later.
For SQL 2000:
sp_helpuser
sp_helprotect
Although these still work in SQL 2005, they miss some securables. You can
also look at the new dynamic management views. Start by examining:
sys.database_permissions
sys.database_principals
sys.database_role_members
Here are a couple of queries that may help you get started.
-- Permissions
select u.name, p.permission_name, p.class_desc,
object_name(p.major_id) ObjectName, state_desc
from sys.database_permissions p join sys.database_principals u
on p.grantee_principal_id = u.principal_id
order by ObjectName, name, p.permission_name
-- Role Memberships
select u.name DatabaseRole, u2.name Member
from sys.database_role_members m
join sys.database_principals u
on m.role_principal_id = u.principal_id
join sys.database_principals u2
on m.member_principal_id = u2.principal_id
order by DatabaseRole

database, then 2) have that database refreshed from another databases, then
3) re-apply the users from step 1.

don't see where the database roles get extracted.
For example here's the output from SQL2000 extracting users and database
roles:
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysusers where name = N'abrown')
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess N'abrown'
GO
exec sp_addrolemember N'db_datareader', N'abrown'
GO
exec sp_addrolemember N'db_datawriter', N'abrown'
GO
Here's the output from SQL2005 extracting users and schemas (no mention of
extracint db roles):
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.schemas WHERE name = N'abrown')
EXEC sys.sp_executesql N'CREATE SCHEMA [abrown] AUTHORIZATION [abrown]'
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'abrown')
CREATE USER [abrown] FOR LOGIN [abrown] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[abrown]
GO
I don't see how in SQL2005 users get added to datareader?
Thanks

Extract values from XML column (rows) to a rowset
Hi,
I have a question regarding extracting XML data as relational data. From
the looks of it looks like the OPENXML statement is not relevant since the
data I need to extract resides in XML columns (in a table).
So I have this query
SELECT [MyXmlCol] FROM [MyTable] WHERE [XmlTypeName]='Schema1'
MyXmlCol – is an XML column, and the WHERE clause assures me that I know h
ow
to access this XML data (using xpath)
Let’s say the data in XML column looks like this
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
(were in each row the value of the Product & Version nodes are different).
I want a table/rowset with two columns Product (xpath
/MyStuff/Product/text()) and Version (xpath /MyStuff/Version/text())
I want the rowset/table to look like this:
Product Version
-- --
WindowsVista 1
WindowsHome 2
WindowsXP 3
How do I accomplish this ?

Take a look at this example to resturn Cities
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"
City="Houston"
State="TX"
ZipCode = "11111" />
</AddressType> ');
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Main"
City="SanDiego"
State="CA"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
SELECT address.value('(/AddressType/AddressRecord/@.City)[1]',
'varchar(50)' )
FROM @.tAddress

I understand that you'd like to insert a table from a xml type value. You
may want to use openxml to do the job:
CREATE TABLE MyStuff( product varchar(20), version int)
go
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- Use OPENXML to provide rowset consisting of customer data.
INSERT Mystuff
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/MyStuff', 2)
WITH (proudct varchar(20) '/MyStuff/Product',
version int '/MyStuff/Version')
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.docHandle
select * from mystuff
If you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to let's know. Thank
you.

Thanks for the quick response, I understand the code you suggested and it
works for me 80% of times. I would very much appreciate your help in this
follow-up.
To extend your example, let’s say I have this:
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"

VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">

City="SanDiego"

Note that the XML in the first row has two AddressRecord elements.
How do I make my result return a rowset with 3 rows representing all the
values:
SanDiego
New York
Houston
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response.
What I am trying to do is to extract data from an XML column I have in one
of my tables. I am trying to make the data in the XML column appear as part
of the normal rowset.
I will run a SQL SELECT statement from my C# code expecting to receive the
data back in the form of a rowset (so I can read it as primitive types using
IDataReader).
Anyway, Uri's response works for me in most of the cases, it doesn't cover
(and I tried several things myself) the case where I need to extract multipl
e
values (i.e. rows) from a single XML document (stored in the xml column in a
given row in my table).
Thanks for the help

The OPENXML is probably not the solution since I have the XML document
stored in a column.
As for your second solution, it looks like it is in the right direction,
however I don't see how I can scale it to the case I have N (or an unkown
number of) AddressRecord nodes in each XML document (i.e. one row's XML
column might contain zero AddressRecord elements and another row might
contain 10...)
How do I scale this solution ?

Thanks for the quick response, I understand the code you suggested and it
works for me 80% of times. I would very much appreciate your help in this
follow-up.
To extend your example, let’s say I have this:
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"
City="Houston"
State="TX"
ZipCode = "11111" />
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Left"
City="New York"
State="NY"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Main"
City="SanDiego"
State="CA"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
Note that the XML in the first row has two AddressRecord elements.
How do I make my result return a rowset with 3 rows representing all the
values:
SanDiego
New York
Houston
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response.
What I am trying to do is to extract data from an XML column I have in one
of my tables. I am trying to make the data in the XML column appear as part
of the normal rowset.
I will run a SQL SELECT statement from my C# code expecting to receive the
data back in the form of a rowset (so I can read it as primitive types using
IDataReader).
Anyway, Uri's response works for me in most of the cases, it doesn't cover
(and I tried several things myself) the case where I need to extract multipl
e
values (i.e. rows) from a single XML document (stored in the xml column in a
given row in my table).
Thanks for the help

The OPENXML is probably not the solution since I have the XML document

As for your second solution, it looks like it is in the right direction,
however I don't see how I can scale it to the case I have N (or an unkown

column might contain zero AddressRecord elements and another row might
contain 10...)
How do I scale this solution ?

Extract values from XML column (rows) to a rowset
Hi,
I have a question regarding extracting XML data as relational data. From
the looks of it looks like the OPENXML statement is not relevant since the
data I need to extract resides in XML columns (in a table).
So I have this query
SELECT [MyXmlCol] FROM [MyTable] WHERE [XmlTypeName]='Schema1'
MyXmlCol – is an XML column, and the WHERE clause assures me that I know how
to access this XML data (using xpath)
Let’s say the data in XML column looks like this
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
(were in each row the value of the Product & Version nodes are different).
I want a table/rowset with two columns Product (xpath
/MyStuff/Product/text()) and Version (xpath /MyStuff/Version/text())
I want the rowset/table to look like this:
Product Version
WindowsVista1
WindowsHome2
WindowsXP3
How do I accomplish this ?
Asher.
Asher
Take a look at this example to resturn Cities
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"
City="Houston"
State="TX"
ZipCode = "11111" />
</AddressType> ');
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Main"
City="SanDiego"
State="CA"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
SELECT address.value('(/AddressType/AddressRecord/@.City)[1]',
'varchar(50)' )
FROM @.tAddress

|||Hello Asher,
I understand that you'd like to insert a table from a xml type value. You
may want to use openxml to do the job:
CREATE TABLE MyStuff( product varchar(20), version int)
go
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- Use OPENXML to provide rowset consisting of customer data.
INSERT Mystuff
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/MyStuff', 2)
WITH (proudct varchar(20) '/MyStuff/Product',
version int '/MyStuff/Version')
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.docHandle
select * from mystuff

I have a question regarding extracting XML data as relational data. From
the looks of it looks like the OPENXML statement is not relevant since the
data I need to extract resides in XML columns (in a table).
So I have this query
SELECT [MyXmlCol] FROM [MyTable] WHERE [XmlTypeName]='Schema1'
MyXmlCol – is an XML column, and the WHERE clause assures me that I know how
to access this XML data (using xpath)
Let’s say the data in XML column looks like this
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
(were in each row the value of the Product & Version nodes are different).
I want a table/rowset with two columns Product (xpath
/MyStuff/Product/text()) and Version (xpath /MyStuff/Version/text())
I want the rowset/table to look like this:
Product Version
WindowsVista1
WindowsHome2
WindowsXP3
How do I accomplish this ?

Take a look at this example to resturn Cities
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"
City="Houston"
State="TX"
ZipCode = "11111" />
</AddressType> ');
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Main"
City="SanDiego"
State="CA"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
SELECT address.value('(/AddressType/AddressRecord/@.City)[1]',
'varchar(50)' )
FROM @.tAddress

|||Hello Asher,
I understand that you'd like to insert a table from a xml type value. You
may want to use openxml to do the job:
CREATE TABLE MyStuff( product varchar(20), version int)
go
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- Use OPENXML to provide rowset consisting of customer data.
INSERT Mystuff
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/MyStuff', 2)
WITH (proudct varchar(20) '/MyStuff/Product',
version int '/MyStuff/Version')
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.docHandle
select * from mystuff
If you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to let's know. Thank
you.

|||Hi Uri,
Thanks for the quick response, I understand the code you suggested and it
works for me 80% of times. I would very much appreciate your help in this
follow-up.
To extend your example, let’s say I have this:
declare @.tAddress table (Address xml DEFAULT '<Address Record />' )
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="111 Main"
City="Houston"
State="TX"
ZipCode = "11111" />
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Left"
City="New York"
State="NY"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
INSERT INTO @.tAddress (Address)
VALUES ('<AddressType name="Shipping">
<AddressRecord StreetLine1="222 Main"
City="SanDiego"
State="CA"
ZipCode = "2222" />
</AddressType> ');
Note that the XML in the first row has two AddressRecord elements.
How do I make my result return a rowset with 3 rows representing all the
values:
SanDiego
New York
Houston
Thanks in advance!
Asher.

|||Hello Peter,
Thank you for your response.
What I am trying to do is to extract data from an XML column I have in one
of my tables. I am trying to make the data in the XML column appear as part
of the normal rowset.
I will run a SQL SELECT statement from my C# code expecting to receive the
data back in the form of a rowset (so I can read it as primitive types using
IDataReader).
Anyway, Uri's response works for me in most of the cases, it doesn't cover
(and I tried several things myself) the case where I need to extract multiple
values (i.e. rows) from a single XML document (stored in the xml column in a
given row in my table).
Thanks for the help
Asher.

|||Hi Uri,
The OPENXML is probably not the solution since I have the XML document
stored in a column.
As for your second solution, it looks like it is in the right direction,
however I don't see how I can scale it to the case I have N (or an unkown
number of) AddressRecord nodes in each XML document (i.e. one row's XML
column might contain zero AddressRecord elements and another row might
contain 10...)
How do I scale this solution ?
