| I've read BOL but I dont really understand the difference between a user and a login.Can someone explain it to me in plain english? can there be one user to many logins? or one login to many users?If someone is a user, they need a login. Why have the two entities seperate?Why do Logins sit at server level and Users sit with Roles at database level? |

| A user in in a database, a login is to a server.The connection to the server is made via the login. The access to a database is made by mapping that login to a user in the database. The user has permission on objects in the database.The login can map to different users in different databases.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
