Concrete identification enables Adaptive Server to verify chains of ownership between procedures, views, and triggers and the objects they reference in other databases. Adaptive Server identifies users during a session by login name or server user ID (suid). This identification applies to all databases in the server. When the user creates an object, the server associates both the owner’s database user ID (uid) and the creator’s login name with the object in the sysobjects table. This information concretely identifies the object as belonging to that user, which allows the server to recognize when permissions on the object can be granted implicitly.
For more information about concrete identification, see the System Administration Guide.
