DatabaseUserName Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The DatabaseUserName property exposes the execution context of a SQL Server Agent service job step.
Syntax
object
.DatabaseUserName [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
A SQL Server Agent job step can execute by assuming the permissions of a database user. Change the DatabaseUserName property to set the user execution context for a job step. The default value is "dbo", and job steps execute using database owner permissions.
