Imitating ownership possible?

In SQL Server 2000 you could use the SETUSER command
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/li...40(SQL.80).aspx) to
impersonate the user context for a SQL user account. However, this can only
be used by a sysadmin or db_owner and could not be used for Windows
accounts. In SQL Server 2005 you can use the EXECUTE AS clause to change the
execution context.

Here is a good article about EXECUTE AS:

HTH,

http://www.SQLStudio.comAwesome. Thanks for the quick response. I've got a lot of experience
in SQL in other languages, and some in SQL Server, but all the little
tricks of the trade I'm still short on.

Thanks again.
