Article ID: Q154109

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

A stored procedure with a cursor declared for update may give an update permission violation on the underlying object being updated ("update where current of") at execution time.

WORKAROUND

Give the user executing the procedure express permission to do the operation on the underlying object being referenced. The user need not have express permission on the table to execute the procedure, if the procedure does not have a cursor in it.

STATUS
