ODBC readonly (viewonly) linked tables....

Hi,

I have a prod database (main bread & bread DB) and have a small access
database that sales team is using... I created a login inside SQL 2000
and gave db_read permission and SELECT permissions... and public.
Role of public is EXEC store procs and view some systables...
I linked those tables that I gave permissions through ODBC link into
access db with the user that I created inside SQL as readonly user...
but to my surprise when I ran a insert query from access on SQL
tables... I was able to update and insert data... if my ODBC link is
only for readonly.. why was I able to unpdate & insert data into SQL
table?
I don't want to give write/update/insert permissions for SQL tables to
sales team... or anyone outside SQL 2000 server DB.
Is there any easy way to create viewonly users inside SQL?
I created users like this: security -logins -new login...
select none serverrole.. db access (bread & butter DB)

Thank you,
hj

Exactly how does the connection information for the ODBC link look like?
(Minus any password of course).

Exactly how did you set up this user as a readonly user?

I am using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver to link three relatively small MySQL tables to a Microsoft Access 2003 database. I am finding that the data from the MySQL tables takes a hell of a long time to load making any kind linkage with my Access data virtually useless. I have the MySQL driver setup in as a USER DSN. The MySQL data is sitting out on a server and the Access database is running locally. The network connection is very...

I am using Access 2003 and are linking to an Oracle 9i ODBC datasource (using Oracle ODBC drivers). After linking the tables in Access, I inspect the data contained in the linked tables. For tables that involve a number field as the primary key, the data is returned successfully. For tables that involve a character field (e.g. CHAR(3) or VARCHAR(10)) as the primary key, I have the correct number of rows returned, but the data displayed...

Scenario is: We have an intranet on which a Helpdesk application can be accessed. Data input into the Helpdesk is stored in a Access 2000 database, held on a server. This is great, works fine, Users and IT have a warm fuzzy feeling of contentment. Turns out Helpdesk application is short of decent reporting capabilities. So, I create an Access DB on my machine, via ODBC, link to the tables within the Helpdesk Access database. I set the...

I wrote about this one a while ago, and got a few responces, but nothing resolved the issue. Figured I'd give everyone one more crack at it. I have an established MS Access database using linked tables to an external MS-SQL datasource, through ODBC. I can establish the ODBC link, I can link the tables in a new MS Access database (File -> Get External Data -> Link Tables...), I can view the structure of the linked table(s), I can querie...

Hello. In ODBC Data Source Administrator, there is a tab "Connection Pooling" and option "PerfMon" Enable/Disable. Could someone explain the meaning of the option and how it reflects to Access when having ODBC linked tables, JET queries on linked tables and pass-through queries? Thanks,

RE: Access 2003 using WinXP SP2 Problem: When I start up my app I double click either one of my two Oracle tables in the table list, it asks for an id and pass. I need them to be linked at startup automatically. The Oracle db contains two tables I need. I've already created an ODBC data source that contains the userid and pass to link to the Oracle DB. It works. When I go into linked table manager, I can link to them just fine

I'm creating a front-end for some Teradata user maintenance tables in MS Access. I've started having problems in occasionally not being able to insert or update records in these tables.

In another instance a colleague created tables, I was able to make entries. She had to...

I recently started a co-op/internship at a company and they are looking to migrate a large legacy supported application from OLEDB to SQL Server. I'm doing prelim work in experimenting with the options available. The application is huge (1+ million lines of C++ code), so it'd be quite a bit of man hours to adapt all the database code for SQL Server. I stumbled upon linked tables in an OLEDB file to an ODBC source (such as SQL Server) and...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
