New Post: add-sqluser => uses DEFAULT_SCHEMA for SQLUSER linked to SQLLOGIN on WINDOWS GROUP.

kristofdm — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:54:49 GMT

Yes i know. I'm not pointing in that direction, i'm pointing to the fact that if a function is created to create db users, it should verify if the login specified is a group or not and then create it with or without default schema (default_schema = DBO for users / default_Schema is not parsed for user based on groups ) ? Now the function just checks if a default_schema is given or not. If not it passes DBO. It should not pass anything in case the instance login is an AD group. to my feeling, this is a bug.

For my issue, it's solved. Perhaps in a future release this can be caught?

anyway, great set of functions !

This issue is an underlying SQL Server feautre. As you've noticed you cannot assign a default schema to a Windows group. See this connect item for more details: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/328585/default-schema-for-windows-group

Hi, If i create a LOGIN based on a windows group it seems impossible to add it as 'USER' to a database because of the default_schema that is always used by the add-sqluser command. A Default schema can't be set for DBUSERS based on INSTANCE users based on windows groups. i'm downloading the source code now to see if i can adapt the cmdlet to my needs.

New Post: When will we see a new release of SQLPSX?

cmille19 — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 12:19:43 GMT

I've built test case using PSUnit. See the Source Code under TestScripts http://sqlpsx.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/132346a9e30d

Again if you'd like to contribute back to SQLPSX, let me know and I'll add you as developer to the project.

Chad,

Thanks very much for your response. I totally understand your situation...

We've decided to maintain and support SQLPSX ourselves, so we're fixing some issues and getting it ready for SQL Server 2012 and PowerShell 3.0.

Can you share with us any unit/integration tests that we can execute as we make changes to SQLSPX to make sure we don't break any existing functionality?

We use PSUNIT for unit testing (www.psunit.org). Not sure if you use this unit testing frame work for PowerShell, but if you do, can you publish your tests?

Thanks,
Steve

You're correct, [string] should be omitted since the code inspects the parameter type to allow passing a database object as well as a database string.

Hi^^

I'm not sure if this had been fixed or not.

But in the Set-SqlData

[Parameter(Position=1, Mandatory=$true)] [string] $dbname,
it should be
[Parameter(Position=1, Mandatory=$true)] $dbname,

Maybe I'm wrong... not sure^^a

New Post: Invoke-Storedprocedure/Invoke-SQL Issue when passing a connection

MikeShepard — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:57:04 GMT

I found the issue.

In the new-connection function, the variable $dbclause isn't initialized if there isn't a database passed on the command-line.

I'll add $dbclause='' as the first line of the function and it will be all better.

I'll try to get the rest of the tests done with strict mode turned on (in fact, I'll put the strict mode switch in the module).

Thanks for being patient and persistent!

Mike

as
select name from sys.databases
where @parm1 is null

And here's the code to call it (assuming you have a connection to the database which has this procedure in it in $c)

invoke-storedprocedure -storedProcName sp_testnull -parameters @{parm1=[System.DBNull]::Value} -connection $c

New Post: Invoke-Storedprocedure/Invoke-SQL Issue when passing a connection

I downloaded the latest again and it is working now. I'm not quite sure what happened as I did a compare between what I had and what was downloaded and I was unable to see any difference. Oh well working now, just have to figure out how to pass a null as a value to a parameter, is-null funcition blowing up now. Thank you again for your time.

I was not able to reproduce your results. I downloaded the 2.3.2.1 release (the latest) and used the script you provided and got the appropriate results.

Can you repost the script and specific error you're getting?

Just getting back to this and unfortunatly the posted fix did not work. I made the suggested change and unfortunaly I'm still recieving the error
database : The variable '$database' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set.

When I step through the code it executes this statement:
$conn = Get-Connection -conn $connection -server $server -database $database -user $user -password $password
and then throws the error. One more thing that might help from the Invoke-StoredProcedure function this is how New-SQLCommand is called:

$cmd=new-sqlcommand @PSBoundParameters

This is the function that appears to be having an issue:
function New-SQLCommand{
param([Parameter(Position=0, Mandatory=$true)][Alias('storedProcName')][string]$sql,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="SuppliedConnection",Position=1, Mandatory=$false)][System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection]$connection,
[Parameter(Position=2, Mandatory=$false)][hashtable]$parameters=@{},
[Parameter(Position=3, Mandatory=$false)][int]$timeout=30,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="AdHocConnection",Position=4, Mandatory=$false)][string]$server,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="AdHocConnection",Position=5, Mandatory=$false)][string]$database,
[Parameter(ParameterSetName="AdHocConnection",Position=6, Mandatory=$false)][string]$user,
[Parameter(Position=7, Mandatory=$false)][string]$password,
[Parameter(Position=8, Mandatory=$false)][System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction]$transaction=$null,
[Parameter(Position=9, Mandatory=$false)][hashtable]$outparameters=@{})

$dbconn=Get-Connection -conn $connection -server $server -database $database -user $user -password $password

$conn = Get-Connection -conn $connection -server $server -database $database -user $user -password $password

$close=($conn.State -eq [System.Data.ConnectionState]'Closed')
if ($close) {
    $conn.Open()
}   
$cmd=new-object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($sql,$conn)
$cmd.CommandTimeout=$timeout
foreach($p in $parameters.Keys){
    $parm=$cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@$p",$parameters[$p])
    if (Is-NULL $parameters[$p]){
       $parm.Value=[DBNull]::Value
    }
}
put-outputparameters $cmd $outparameters

if ($transaction -is [System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction]){
$cmd.Transaction = $transaction
}
return $cmd

I glad you find SQLPSX useful.

I agreed, we've been unable to put a release together for nearly two years. Personally I'd to like spend more time on SQLPSX, however I've pulled into other outside work activities, mostly running six IT Pro Camps a year (see ITProCamp.com). The only opportunity I have to work SQLPSX is outside work and that time is less than it had been a couple of years ago.

We've added a few developers to the SQLPSX project recently and if you're interested I can add you as developer. Let me know.

New Post: When will we see a new release of SQLPSX?

ruthst00 — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:56:56 GMT

Hi,

First, I want to say that we love SQLPSX and use it extensively with our PS scripts. We do database development for a large medical software company, and SQLPSX has saved us a lot of time writing common PS/SQL functions.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, it's been over a year and a half since we've seen a new release of SQLPSX. And as I scan the discussion forum, I see responses such as, "That's fixed in the next release", but I'm not sure when that release will be available.

Also, I see many discussion threads where a user has a problem, and they are advised to modify the SQLPSX code themselves. This concerns me because I would expect there to be some sort of regular (e.g., daily, weekly) build/deploy process where SQLPSX fixes can be developed, tested, built, and delivered to users.

If the SQLPSX team does not have the time to develop and deliver fixes to users, then maybe it would be useful to provide a mechanism for some of us developers in the field to contribute changes that get automatically tested and included with the next build? Something to consider.

I'm not trying to be negative or point blame at anyone -- I'm sure the SQLPSX development team has other responsibilities and is very busy. I just want to make sure that the SQLPSX framework is given the attention it deserves and lives on well into the future.

Thanks
