Problem with droping users, please help

Hi

I'm trying to write a script that will make sure the user accounts are set up correctly after de attaching a database moving it to another machine and reattaching it. The problem is the user example1 had a login Name of example1 but after I've copied it over and re attached it the user example1 has No user at all, throught EM all I have to do is Delete the Database user and recreate it correctly, but We need to do this as part on a script, However I don't seem to be able to do the same thing through SQL.

The way I was attempting to drop and recreate the user was like this:

Execute sp_dropuser example1
Execute sp_addlogin example1
Execute sp_adduser example1
Execute sp_addrolemember @.rolename = db_datareader, @.membername = example1
Execute sp_addrolemember @.rolename = db_datawriter, @.membername = example1

However it comes back with this error:

Server: Msg 15175, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_droplogin, Line 93
Login 'example1' is aliased or mapped to a user in one or more database(s). Drop the user or alias before dropping the login.

Server: Msg 15025, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlogin, Line 56
The login 'example1' already exists.

Does any one now how I can get it too work like the EM version!

My eternal gratitude, NixiesYou need to exec sp_grantdbaccess first before you do exec sp_addrolemember.|||Originally posted by joejcheng

Just doubled checked, dbaccess is fine and the sp_addrolemember went through with out any errors. My big problem is that I can't drop the user to recreate them. Any ideas?|||I had a similar problem a while back and was able to use the procedures from Microsoft to fix. Check out:

Basically, you need to resynchronize the login SID's before you can perform any security edits. Hope this helps.

Problem with Dates and OpenXML command

My data is being updated correctly for all fields except a date field.
The program is crashing when a date is encountered with OpenXML. Is
there a way to convert the date within SQL to handle this...I have tried
the CONVERT statement below, but it does little
UPDATE EducationSheetSchool
SET
EducationSheetSchool.Address= XMLEducationSheetSchool.Address,
EducationSheetSchool.[Name]= XMLEducationSheetSchool.[Name],
EducationSheetSchool.LEA= XMLEducationSheetSchool.LEA,
EducationSheetSchool.Tel= XMLEducationSheetSchool.Tel,
EducationSheetSchool.Email= XMLEducationSheetSchool.Email,
EducationSheetSchool.Start=CONVERT(varchar(30),XML EducationSheetSchool.S
tart, 126),

Can you show a sample of the XML and the OPENXML syntax you're using?
