FIX: DocErr: Incorrect w/ Respect to Valid Login ID Characters (128566)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 4.2x
This article was previously published under Q128566 SYMPTOMS
On page 48 of the Microsoft SQL Server version 4.21 SQL Administrator's
"User's Guide" it says that the 'at sign' (@) character can be used as the
first character of a user's Login ID. The help screen under the SQL
Administrator utility's Add Login screen says that the only valid first
character is a letter.
WORKAROUND
The only valid characters for the first character in a Login ID are any
letter, the number sign (#), and the underscore (_) character.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft SQL Server
version 4.21 documentation. The SQL Server version 6.0 Books Online, SQL
Server Administrator's Companion, Part 4, Chapter 9, "Managing SQL Server
Logins," Summary of Login ID Information, shows the correct data.
