Hi all I am in a situation, So I need experts advices please help. This is the security issue.

We have a client database and the end product uses the JDBC and as such each user/database combination is assigned a pool
of connections.the connection to database is made with connection pool as there is only one single user
with dbo rights and we have a logingroup mapped to that user. As the activity on a database is getting high with different
members from login group.

Now our client wants to create anothe user on the database with the dbo rights for the same loginggroup.


Can you guys please advice what could be the possible impact of this. The way I was thinking was what if the two users

tries to write to a same table at the same time. There are lot of other doubts going on.

So please help. Sorry if I am unable to explain the situation clearly.

I know this is little messy,

Thank in Advance.

Sql has locking mechanism so don't worry about writing to table at same time, no matter by one user or ywo users. The question is why user needs dbo rights.

I think your question is more on auditing user transactions
your end product should be able to handle this... adding new users
but if your client request is direct database access with dbo rights

1. you should check your company policy
2. if there is no problem, just add the user but don't map it to the same application user, just provide DBO as is

Your client asking you to map the new user sounds like they don't have a DBA or anyone knowledgeable to do it...I am always skeptical about giving power to those who know less (usually they become too cocky and feel like instant gurus)
