His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!

Frequently Encountered HRESULTS from OLE

This list was compiled from the Winerror.h file, which ships with the Win32 SDK. This list is actually a subset of a much more complete set of OLE errors. However, this is the set most likely to be raised by OLE or OLE-DB to ADO.

Never mess with orignal data.

Security has been enhanced in SQL Server 2005. You can not only ENABLE/DISABLE login but can do more then that.

One of my colleague was on vacation so for security reasons I tried to DISABLE his login during the whole vacation, I issued the statement

ALTER LOGIN <login_name> DISABLE
GO

And when he came back, I issued this statemetn to ENABLE again

ALTER LOGIN <login_name> ENABLE
GO

Try doing it, a nice feature.
