How can i restrict the SA user

hi,
Is there any way to restrict the SA access. The problem is that all my
client machine users knows the sa password, and also right now i don't want
to change the password. So i just want to know is there any way to restrict
their access ? thanking in advance
ARHi
SA is not restrictable as it is the highest built in security account.
If security is so important, you have to change the password. Remember, if
you are using integrated security, domain and local admins are by default,
mapped to SA.

Make a new user and give him an appropriate permissions.

How can I restrict bandwidth between to SQL servers

Hi
I have two SQL2000 servers in different sites, once a day approximately
1M of data in the form of a large update is required to be transfered
between the 2. We have use of a 2M pipe between the servers but there
is no quality of service, the other users on the pipe are traders so
there must be no interruption in the quality of their bandwidth at any
time.

Is there any way of throttling back the data transfer between the two
servers to restrict its bandwidth use. Obviously we want to retain the
max bandwidth on our local network.
The pipe is administered by a seperate company so we do not have admin
access to their gateways, routers etc.. so a solution which we can
implement on our database servers would be the easiest.
I am not sure if this is the right newsgroup for this but any
information would be great

Thanks
MarkMSSQL itself doesn't have any way to manage this - you would have to
work it out at the OS or network level. From the database side you
could update only a few rows at a time, with pauses in between, but
it's not a great solution and wouldn't be suitable if you need
everything in a transaction. Or perhaps export the data to flat files,
send them in chunks, then reassemble them and do the update on the
server, but again that seems very clumsy.

You might also want to post in a networking group - there may be an
OS-level solution which would do what you need,
