Proper Luhn AddCheckDigit for any length #

Most of the luhn scripts assume that you are working with credit-cards and then IMPROPERLY calculate their luhn check-digit by starting at the left side (assuming that the core number is always 15 digits).  However, if you don't know the length of your core number, then such an approach will fail when the length is […]

Date Time Range or Calendar Generator

This function returns a formated calendar table. It came in handy a few times for me, so I thought it may be a good contribution. There would be a few better ways to create this function if date-part were a valid data type. It is a pretty straight-forward function. You may edit it if you […]

Question of the Day

Changing the Schema

I set up a few users on my SQL Server 2022 instance.

CREATE LOGIN User1 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#1'
CREATE USER User1 FOR LOGIN User1
GO
CREATE LOGIN User2 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#2'
CREATE USER User2 FOR LOGIN User2
GO
CREATE LOGIN User3 WITH PASSWORD = 'Demo12#3'
CREATE USER User3 FOR LOGIN User3
GO
I then created a schema that one of them owned. Under this schema, I added a table with some data.
CREATE SCHEMA MySchema AUTHORIZATION User1
GO
CREATE TABLE Myschema.MyTable(myid INT)
GO
INSERT MySchema.MyTable
(
    myid
)
VALUES
(1), (2), (3)
GO
SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable
GO
I granted rights and verified that User2 could access this table.
GRANT SELECT ON Myschema.MyTable TO User2
GO
SETUSER 'USER2'
GO
SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable
GO
This worked. Now, I move this schema to a new user.
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::Myschema TO User3;
GO
What happens with this code?
SETUSER 'USER2'
GO
SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable
GO
