The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL Query syntax : IF NOT EXISTS?

Asked by sachintha81 in .NET, SQL Query Syntax, SQL Server 2005

Tags: SQL Query, SQL Server, SQL Syntax, IF NOT EXISTS

First I creat a Login to SQL Server using

CREATE LOGIN NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE="MyDB";

Here, NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE is the name of the Login I created and MyDB is the DataBase I associate it with.

After creating it I need to change some settings of the created login. Following is the manual procedure I usually do.

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio
2. In the "Object Explorer", expand "Security" -> "Logins"
3. Right Click the newly created login "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" -> Select "Properties"
4. In the "Select a page" section select "User Mapping"
5. In the right hand side, there is a section called "Users mapped to this login". There, under the "Map" section check the CheckBox relavent to MyDB, then under "Default Schema" click the button that appears.
6. In the appearing "Select Schema" windown, click "Browse", select MyDB from the new window that opens and click OK. Then press OK in the "Select Schema" window and return to the previous window. (Bear in mind that at the time of the creation of MyDB, I also create Schemas, so that I am able to select that from "Select Schema" window. In your PC, you may not be able to do so if you don't create a schema when you create a DB.)
7. There, in the part at the bottom which says "Database role membership for : MyDB", check "db_owner". ("public" is already checked, so leave it as it is)
8. Then click OK in the Login Properties and apply the above settings.

I need this process to be done using SQL Queries, so following is the query I use.

But not just that, I also want to check if the login and the users exist before they are created.

I manged to check for the login using the following:


IF EXISTS (select loginname from master.dbo.syslogins where name = N'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' and dbname = 'MyDB')

That worked fine, but I don't know how I should look for the users if they exist or not.
Any ideas?
Help with code segments will be greatly appreciated.
