credit cards in sql server table

Dear All,
I need to keep credit cardd details in a an SQL server table.
What's the best way to make sure data is secure? Is there any built in encryption that can be used so data is not stored as text?
ThanksLook up encryption in the SQL 2005 BOL. Encryption functions are included in SQL 2005, but will take some reading to master.|||ohh goody, thanks for the info|||hang on, I need this done in version 8. I guess that's a new feature to SQL 2005.

Is there a 3rd party product for this for version 8?

creating SSRS in form

i am making a form in SSRS and display user details. the form uses only textbox to fill the data.but when i preview the form i just see the data for the first user.i dont see other users.what is the problem.please help

Hey! You should switch to a table control. A table control is basically a collection of textboxes in rows and columns.

if you put your fields in the detail section of the table, it will be repeated for every row in the dataset.

creating SQL statement

Alright, so let me explain the details first.

I have two tables. One is the default aspnet_users table that themembership class builds. that has GUID, username, lowereduser, and such.

then I have another table called "UserSkills". That stores the GUID of the member, then the skills they have. so in that table i have. userID as GUID, then about 12 languages in 'bit' format.. (thats becuase in the webpage when they fill out there profile, all these are checkboxes. Basically all of the info is here http://www.listofcoders.com/profile.aspx?name=fenixsn. so there are a couple of bit fields, 1 text, and couple of varchars.

anways, so i wanna build a powerful search thingy. where the users have the option to search a user that only does for ex say php, asp, asp.net. and is from location "Canada". ok so when they fill out the info, I want my SQL statement to do the following

search the userskills table for the required fields. there might be more then 1 person that has the same profile, but different GUID. and then maybe using "Join" or another sql statement, grab there username, and last activity date from the users table that memberhship createes.

so in short, how do i make a dynamic sql statement.

anyone can help me out here?|||anyone help me pleas|||

Hi masfenix,

If you're trying to search according to the user input, you will need to use a WHERE clause after SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERECountry=@.Country ANDSkill=@.Skill

If the skill is not in the same table, you can use a JOIN

SELECT *,Skill.SkillName FROM Table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN Skill ON Table1.SkillID = Skill.SkillID WHERE .....

In your page code, pass the criterias through parameters and the expected result will be returned.

Hi, I wanna make a SPROC out of this.

how do I write the select statement then RETURN THE DATA (there could be more then 1 row returend).

and how do i read that data and put it in a gridview?

Creating indexes (details required)

I need some idea of how SQLServer 2000 creates indexes, particularly
clustered indexes.
I imagine that creating a clustered index is rather similar to defragmenting
a hard disk. Data has to be read from disparate areas, stored "somewhere"
until there is a large enough area and then written to that area in a
contigious manner.
If that premise is correct, where is the temporary storage area? Is it in
the database itself or is it in the TempDB?
The reason I ask is because SQLServer is crashing my machine when it builds
indexes (for details see my posting "SQLServer crashing server!" in
"microsoft.public.sqlserver.server".
Thanks in advance
