Problems with "SELECT USER" - Result always dbo

2
Hi there,

i've got a problem with the command "SELECT USER". No matter who is logged in and no matter how he is connected (windows authentification or not), the result is always 'dbo'. The same happens with "SELECT USER_NAME()".

Has anyone a hint on what I could have made wrong?

Thanks!

Try this

[PHP]SELECT SUSER_SNAME()[/PHP]

It is a bug in Server 2000 that I reported to Microsoft.

Function suser_name() has to return current login user but it returns null instead. It works perfectly on previous versions.

suser_sname() is a work around not many people know of.

SUSER_NAME is given in SQL 2000 only for backward compatibility
