here's another unusual behavior.i restored a database and remapped the logins. Dropped some logins and roles that are not needed.i needed to create another approle which has the same name as the dropped one.QA tells me, there is already an existing approle of that name. Looking at EM, no approle there, so querying it at QA, the name really exists.so i tried sp_dropapprole, but QA tells me, there's no approle of that name existing.before i reconfigure server to allow me to delete entry in sysusers,do you have any idea why this is happening and any workaround?TIA--------------------keeping it simple... |

Are names shared between approle and some other name/login usages? Thus the name you want to use is not an approle, but is already used for some other "name" functionKristen |

not sure what you mean by shared, but the name is unique--------------------keeping it simple... |

Check the sql of sp_dropapprole and see what is happening,sometimes the error messages are confusing.rockmoose |

"not sure what you mean by shared, but the name is unique"Sorry, I meant:Is SQL Server sharing names between multiple tables? - e.g. maybe LoginName, UserName and RoleName must be universally unique, and thus the name you are trying to use for a Role is already used for, say, a LoginNameKristen |

tnx for clarifying Kristen, yes the name is universally unique BOL doesn't say much RockMoose in the end to make it work, i dropped the entire database, created a new one and just used DTS to export the objects except logins and users good thing, this isn't a client database (only used for internal operations) and there are only a couple of records involved --------------------keeping it simple... |

"BOL doesn't say much RockMoose"I think RockMoose meant you to use USE MASTERGOexec SP_HELPTEXT 'sp_dropapprole'and reverse engineer a solution!Kristen |
