DatabaseUserName Property (SQL-DMO)

The DatabaseUserName property exposes the execution context of a SQL Server Agent job step.

Applies To

Syntax

object.DatabaseUserName [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value	String

Remarks

A SQL Server Agent job step can execute by assuming the privilege 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 by using database owner permissions.

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note 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 by using SysFreeString.
