CREATE PROCEDURE permission denied in database 'SMS_XXX'
Thursday, July 31, 2008 12:46 PM

If you received this error message "CREATE PROCEDURE permission denied in database 'SMS_XXX'"

Create_SP

What this means is the "Create Procedure" permission is missing from "Webreport_approle" database role.

To Fix this issue, perform the following:

Open a Query window and execute the following SQL statement:

Grant Create Procedure to [Webreport_approle]

 

Now you are going to ask why does the Webreport_approle need this permission, the answer is it does and I will show why in another blog post.

Why are Telephones 7 digits?
Monday, July 28, 2008 8:10 AM

Our phone nomenclature system was originally systematized after much research on memory at Bell Labs (remember The Bell Telephone Company). The Bell researchers found that the optimum amount of easily remembered numbers was around 7, and that this was with the numbers in a 3/4 grouping. It was increased to 10 with the 3 digit area code prefix, figuring that the area code was seldom used anyway (at that time).

http://www.hastingsresearch.com//net/05-nomenclature.shtml

 

Now you are asking yourself why is he bring this up? The answer is simple did you know that LAN Manager used two 7 character chunks to create a password? Did you know that 2-seven character chunks are easier to break than one 14 character chuck? Did you know that using LM the first 7 character of a password are passed to the domain controller then the remaining 7 characters? This mean that a network sniffer would have to capture both packets to find out the password.

This is one of the main reason why it is recommend to have password of 8 character or better.

 

In Windows 2003 passwords can now be 128 characters long, how long is your password?
