user,login

  • what is the difference between user and login?

  • A login exists on the server-level and gives you access to the SQL Server but not necessary to a database.

    A user exists within a database and has access to that database.

    Under normal conditions a user must be linked to a login.

    In SQL 2005/2008 it's possible to create a user without a login. But this is a special case mostly used for service broker communication.
