  • What is the different levels of security available in sqlserver2000 and sqlserver2005 ?

  • Could you explain a bit more what you mean by security level?

    IF you're looking at db_roles, they are the same.

    On server level some new permissions are introduced, mainly to access objects new to SQL 2005.

    See http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/security/whitepapers.mspx

    for more information.

    As the previous poster asked, "What do you mean by levels?"

    SQL Server 2005 has more granular security, has built-in data encryption capabilities, encrypts the SQL Server login process, etc. What more are you looking for?

  • I am asking about DBO level securities.

  • A user who maps in as dbo isn't restricted in any way within that database. Permissions don't apply.

    A user who is a member of the db_owner fixed database role can do anything within a database, but permissions still apply. This is much like file level permissions apply to a member of the local administrators group, but a member of that group can override any permissions, albeit by changing them.

    This behavior isn't changed between the two versions (or even from version 7.0).
