Hi all,
I keep getting a bizarre login error, when trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database on a local domain to my machine using C#. The Exception returns:
SQLException: Login failed for user 'OURDOMAIN\PC-DAVIDC$'.
Where "OURDOMAIN" is the domain my computer is connected to, and "PC-DAVIDC" is the computer name.
What's weird about this though, is this isn't in the connection string. Nor is it a valid NT account on the Active Directory my computer is connected to, or on the local machine itself. I have absolutely no idea where C#/SQL Server is getting this fake login from.
Does anyone know what might cause this kind of issue? It baffles me as to why it's saying "OURDOMAIN\ PC-DAVIDC$", and not "OURDOMAIN\Davi d Costello" which is the actual NT account it would usually log in with.
I don't even know what to google for, to look up this issue. :S
The connection string in question is, and has always been:
Data Source=SRV-DB01;Initial Catalog=Develop ment;Integrated Security=SSPI;
The c# connectivity code isn't really an issue, as it connects fine to other databases on the same server. My account has permission to access the database in question. Nothing has really changed in the past few days since it was working fine. It's just utterly bizarre.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Am I understanding you right? The code will connect to other databases on the same server, but just not that particular one?

Indeed.
I wanted to try and edit the post to refresh what I'd written, but I can't seem to edit it any more. :S
I didn't mention I was running the code in question as a Windows Service, and it would appear the problem laid in the fact that the service was running under the local system user account, instead of under a domain administrator account.
The problem seems to be fixed now. :)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
