I have a couple of quick questions to do with SQL 6.5.
1. Is there a stored proc that I can use in conjunction with
sp_foreachtable to step though all the user tables and list the permissions
that the public role has.
2. When I use the generate SQL Script , to have it script up all the
logins,users and permissions. I then look at the resulting script and it seem
to set all the passwords to (Null). Is there a way to have the passwords
intact?
Hi
1. I think you would need to look at writing your own that queries the
sysprotects/sysusers tables.
2. I believe this is by design. You may want to look at:

Or perhaps sp_helprotect?

To be honest, I'm not 100% certain. But if I'd guess, I'd guess that the proc did exist in 6.5.
Due to a disk crash, I don't have my VM Ware images with 6.5 anymore, so I guess we'll wait until
someone with 6.5 or 6.5 BOL can tell us for certain. :-)

a beginners question about linking data
I have just started (yesterday) to use Crystal Reports. I'm almost embarest to ask this question, it may be a simple step or it maybe impossible.
I'm trying to make a report that will show a trend over three months.
My question is, I have a folder named "database", in that folder are 500 folders. Each folder is a workorder that has going through the plant. Can I pull data out of each of these 500 folders into one report? If so could someone point me in the right direction. I can get the data from one of the work order folders but don't know how to get it from all of them.
The database folder contains two .db files, two .px files and one .net file, and the other 500 folders. the work order folders, contains 16 .db files, 16 .px files (there all refre to different processes in the workorder), one .ini file, and one .mb file.
And the database is on my harddrive.
any advise would be apreciated.I'm afraid that you have to develop a small application to read the data from all the folders and save it in a new file and then use crystal reports
By the way, your data is a paradox database|||That's what I was afraid of. Could you tell what kind of application it would be? If I knew what it was, there maybe something in the appliction that we use to collect the data. It already has templates for crystal reports for a single work order, this I found by digging around in application files.
I knew the database was a paradox from reading the help files in crystal, but I don't really know that must (yet) about databases.
Thanks jggtz of the reply.|||Would I need something like MySQL?|||My advice is that you find help close around you from somebody that already know some programming language, like Visual Basic, to help you to develop that small an easy application that collect data from all the desired folders and print the reports
Or
As you said before, maybe there is an "Export" option in the application you use to collect data and that could be helpful if it has the right features
Or
If you want to work a liitle more, you can attach (link) to Access all the neccesary .db files and manually (or by a sql query) append all the data into a single one table to then print the reports
I'm trying to make a report that will show a trend over three months.
My question is, I have a folder named "database", in that folder are 500 folders. Each folder is a workorder that has going through the plant. Can I pull data out of each of these 500 folders into one report? If so could someone point me in the right direction. I can get the data from one of the work order folders but don't know how to get it from all of them.
The database folder contains two .db files, two .px files and one .net file, and the other 500 folders. the work order folders, contains 16 .db files, 16 .px files (there all refre to different processes in the workorder), one .ini file, and one .mb file.
And the database is on my harddrive.
any advise would be apreciated.I'm afraid that you have to develop a small application to read the data from all the folders and save it in a new file and then use crystal reports
By the way, your data is a paradox database|||That's what I was afraid of. Could you tell what kind of application it would be? If I knew what it was, there maybe something in the appliction that we use to collect the data. It already has templates for crystal reports for a single work order, this I found by digging around in application files.
I knew the database was a paradox from reading the help files in crystal, but I don't really know that must (yet) about databases.
Thanks jggtz of the reply.|||Would I need something like MySQL?|||My advice is that you find help close around you from somebody that already know some programming language, like Visual Basic, to help you to develop that small an easy application that collect data from all the desired folders and print the reports

a beginners question about linking data
I have just started (yesterday) to use Crystal Reports. I'm almost embarest to ask this question, it may be a simple step or it maybe impossible.
