• SQL Server Formal parameter '@P83' was defined as OUTPUT but the actual parameter not declared OUTPUT.

• SQL Server Nested Procedures & Using Signature Based Security

  I am currently developing a project that requires a server level permission for one stored procedure (ALTER ANY LOGIN) To this effect, I plan to create a certificate, sign the stored procedure with it, import the certificate into the master DB and assign privileges. I also understand that modification to the code invalidates the signature (after all thats the point of signing something). But what about user defined functions and stored ...Show All
