Michael Howard has written another book dealing with Security. This time it goes into detail about the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). The book itself will be available in June 2006.
For those of you who have never heard about SDL - here a small image describing the lifecycle:
The Security Development Lifecycle doesn't alter your Software Development Cycle it should just extend it. For more information about the book visit Michael Howards Blog or click the image:
If you encounter following error message
in Sql Server Management Studio, you should check two things:
The problem might arrise if you restore a database on your Sql Server and the Database Compatibility Level is not set to 90. Try to switch the level via Database Properties. This can also be done with T-SQL like this:
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'databasename', 90
If the problem persists you should do a
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::databasename TO [domain\user]
because in Sql Server Management Studio (without SP1) you cannot set the database owner to the correct login via Database Properties - or better said the Management Studio actually displays either the correct User - yet it recognises it as invalid or it displays the original User and cannot map it to the current server because it doesn't find a corresponding SSID.
In the attachment of this post you can find the download link for the demonstrated sample of the Big>Days 06 session. If you have questions feel free to contact me.
Red Gate published a little tool providing SQL Intellisense for free download until 1st September although you can use it afterwards for free.
After installation you should configure it using the Options Dialog Box to set the Intellisense "aggressivness". Nice tool anyway. There's just on little drawback: It runs as seperate application thus you have to provide your database connection details twice.
