Hello,
I've used the BindingSource Control and have two tables in my database.
On a single Windows form, i've 'dragged n dopped' coloumns from both the tables.These two tables are related by master-child relationship.
My Problem is as follows:
When i click on the '+' button to add a record and then click on 'save'.
Data is successfully inserted into the parent table but not in the child table.
I've checked the designer code and it DOES have a function to insert into the child table. Yet the insertion fails.(There are no exceptions raised either!!)
Any help is appreciated...
Thanking all in advance.
Siddy!

Hi,
We have an ASP.NET 1.1 application with SQL Server 2005. Database access layer of the application is written separately and provided to us as a dll to be used in application and we dont want to change it. DAL does not support parameterized queries. What we have done is that on every where clause we have replaced ' by ''. I know it is not very good approach but what i want to know is our application safe now, or SQL injection is still possible and if it is unsafe can anyone provide the example of how?
Regards
Shajeel

There are many ways you can have SQL Injection problems. Code Project has several articles on this subject and all are great. This is a subject that will require some reading. If you are handling sensitive data, then read up and make sure you understand what you are reading.
To answer your question, no that does not solve SQL Injection attacks.

can you give me the example or article as i am pretty sure i looked at lots of articles and did not find any example that it does not solve my problem.

Not at all. It's will not be safe by replacing ' with ''. There are many other ways a person can inject harmful SQL statements. Look at this[^] which explains these.

Thanks for reply.
all examples in the article starts with ' which we have dealt with, there are some places where int is used that are not covered here but we are always validating int wherever user enters them in form, so they are covered also. So after going through article i assume my app is safe or is there other ways of SQL Injection which are not included in article.

Are you also validating against cross site scripting? This can also lead to a Sql Injection. How?
Well, imagine that you perform clientside validation to ensure that values fall into a certain range. Now imagine that somebody else creates a form that targets your system and doesn't have this validation, then your system can be targeted because the validation has been bypassed. You have to think of security as a whole and minimize the attack surface. One way to do this is to use parameterized queries, rather than relying on your code converting ' into ''. Remember, it just takes this being missed out in 1 place for the whole thing to come crashing down to its knees.

Always take a multifaceted approach. Just because you can't find a way, doesn't mean that some clever hacker can't find a way. Do NOT be complacent about this. It is arrogant to think that just you put up protection in one area you are safe.
The house my parents live in was very well secured. A burgler attempted to get in the back door, the back windows and eventually got in through the tiny skylight in the roof. Think of your SQL Server the same way. If you secure the main ways in and attacker will find the way you didn't think of.

Absolutely true. I voted it with '5' vote.

No, one of the examples began with a number, not a quote:
string sql = "SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE DATEPART(YEAR, OrderDate) = "+
this.orderYearTb.Text);
and the attacker began his string with a zero.
Does seem to me that all the examples I've seen had statement delimiters embedded within them. Therefore, I have two functions I run against the input. The first effectively converts ' to '', but also checks for a maximum length of the argument. If I know the maximum length of the field my user wants to compare against, a string longer than this is rejected outright as a possible attack. The next function removes any unquoted semicolons. This will cause attacking SQL to be ill-formed and rejected for syntax. But DON'T respond to the user with the ill-formed string. They may be able to see thru the protection scheme.
While this two-prong approach defeates every injection example I have ever seen, it does not guarantee, as Colin suggested, that someone clever won't come up with a way to defeat it. Plus, as Pete inferred, the SQL validation (in my case, converting ' to '' and removing unquoted semicolons) must be done immediately before submitting the SQL string to the db for processing. You must not rely on external validation.

Is it possible to compress an MS SQL Server 2005 database, like you can an Access database?
I have a database that is over 100Mb in size but considering what data it currently holds this seems excessively large.
If it is possible, can it also be done with an SQL command?
Thanks

The equivalent in SQL Server is to shrink the database. Have a look at this article[^].

Hi,
Is it wise to make use of indexing?? What are the downfalls of it, won't it slow down my database?
Also, are primary keys indexed automatically? Should foreign keys also be indexed? What else do I need to do to speed up searches?
Please can some advise?
Regards
Brendan

Indexes speed searches, joins and ordering while they slow down insertions and some updates.
You need to make a balance based on how you access your database.
Stress testing and Database Engine Tuning Advisor[^] can help you make a decision.
Speeding searches does not depend only on good indexes (which are essential) but also depends on using best practices, for example not using a lot of casts and using joins instead of sub queries, joining only needed tables and returning only required columns...etc.

Brendan - indexes are necessary if you want to speed up your searches. There is a fine balance to strike between having enough indexes to search on and too many - thus slowing down Update/Delete/Inserts.

Hi,
I am going to offer my clients different services. But they need only 1 id and password. What is the best way to go about this, should I have my member tables in a seperate database and each service in a seperate database? I just want to reduce the database if I seperate the databases?
Thanks
Brendan

I am going to guess that when you say database, you mean table. And if so, then yes, you should have separate tables for both. Maybe something like the following based on what information I digested from your post.
Users -
ID
Username
Password
Services -
ID
Name
User Services -
User ID
Service ID
Where Users houses the usernames and passwords, Services houses the service names, and the User Services simply links which services the user can use.

We have sql server replication snapshot index script file (db.idx and db.dat). We want to read data from idx file using c# or vb. Any help will be highly appreciate.

I posted here because you said it has nothing to do with ASP.net, what do you want me to do now? do you want me to delete from the other forum? All I want is some tip/guideline? I don't know if your are trying to help or tease?

I've run across other forums that are not so dominated by "rules tyrants" like here. I'd suggest asking in those forums. I've gotten polite responses from folks at www.dbforums.com
Sorry I can't help you myself. I don't know anything about the subject.
