Table Owner in Current Activity different from owner in database

  • Hello,

    When I see blocking in Current Activity in Enterprise Manager, sometimes the table owner listed is different from the table owner listed in the database itself.

    For example, an object such as mydb.user1.table shows up in Current Activity as mydb.user2.table during a blocking problem.

    Does anyone know why this happens, and what it means?

    Thanks for any help!

    A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"

  • isn't there a possiility that both the users have created same table with their prefix name? Thats all I can think of.

  • Yes there is no way a table within sql server can have owner changed by itself there is a possibility that same table is reffered by 2 users.

  • In any language things can't happen by themselves. I am assuming another user has created table with the same name but with his schema.
