Is the GRANT DBA privilege required to call DB_EXTENDED_PROPERTY for a different database, from a Version 12 or earlier database? Testing indicates "yes" but the V12 Help is silent on the subject of privileges for DB_EXTENDED_PROPERTY. For Version 16 or later, GRANT MONITOR or GRANT SERVER OPERATOR is required and documented. |

According to the v16 What's New docs, no privileges should be necessary for v12 and below:
With 12.0.1.4403, I can confirm that behaviour: A restricted user with no particular privileges connected to his database 0 (db_id 0) can query the properties of another database 1 (although he is no user there at all), such as select db_name(), db_name(1), db_extended_property('File', 'system', 1);
returns 'MyDatabase', 'demo' , 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\SQL Anywhere 12\Samples\demo.db' Similarily, calling sa_db_info() and sa_db_properties() list the properties of all loaded databases when called by that user. |
