BUG: Executing Stored Proc. w/ Cursor Fails with Perm. Violation

Last reviewed: May 5, 1997
Article ID: Q154109
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

A stored procedure with a cursor declared for update may give an update permission violation on the underlying object being updated ("update where current of") at execution time.

WORKAROUND

Give the user executing the procedure express permission to do the operation on the underlying object being referenced. The user need not have express permission on the table to execute the procedure, if the procedure does not have a cursor in it.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information herein the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
