Transferring database ownership

After creating a database, a system administrator can transfer ownership to a different user. This allows the control of database creation and resource allocation to remain centralized in the hands of the system administrator, while permitting database administration to rest with the principal database users.

When you change ownership of a database, the new owner must have an Adaptive Server login, but must not be a user of the database or have an alias in it.

Privileges

Only a system administrator can transfer database ownership.
