REVERT (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics

Switches the execution context back to the caller of the last EXECUTE AS statement.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

REVERT  
    [ WITH COOKIE = @varbinary_variable ]  

Arguments

WITH COOKIE = @varbinary_variable
Specifies the cookie that was created in a corresponding EXECUTE AS stand-alone statement. @varbinary_variable is varbinary(100).

Remarks

REVERT can be specified within a module such as a stored procedure or user-defined function, or as a stand-alone statement. When specified inside a module, REVERT is applicable only to EXECUTE AS statements defined in the module. For example, the following stored procedure issues an EXECUTE AS statement followed by a REVERT statement.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_myproc   
  WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER  
AS   
    SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
    EXECUTE AS USER = 'guest';  
    SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
    REVERT;  
    SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
GO  

Assume that in the session in which the stored procedure is run, the execution context of the session is explicitly changed to login1, as shown in the following example.

  -- Sets the execution context of the session to 'login1'.  
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'login1';  
GO  
EXECUTE dbo.usp_myproc;   

The REVERT statement that is defined inside usp_myproc switches the execution context set inside the module, but does not affect the execution context set outside the module. That is, the execution context for the session remains set to login1.

When specified as a standalone statement, REVERT applies to EXECUTE AS statements defined within a batch or session. REVERT has no effect if the corresponding EXECUTE AS statement contains the WITH NO REVERT clause. In this case, the execution context remains in effect until the session is dropped.

The EXECUTE AS statement that is used to set the execution context of a session can include the optional clause WITH NO REVERT COOKIE = @varbinary_variable. When this statement is run, the Database Engine passes the cookie to @varbinary_variable. The execution context set by that statement can only be reverted to the previous context if the calling REVERT WITH COOKIE = @varbinary_variable statement contains the correct @varbinary_variable value.

This mechanism is useful in an environment in which connection pooling is used. Connection pooling is the maintenance of a group of database connections for reuse by applications across multiple end users. Because the value passed to @varbinary_variable is known only to the caller of the EXECUTE AS statement (in this case, the application), the caller can guarantee that the execution context they establish cannot be changed by the end user that invokes the application. After the execution context is reverted, the application can switch context to another principal.

Permissions

No permissions are required.

Examples

A. Using EXECUTE AS and REVERT to switch context

The following example creates a context execution stack by using multiple principals. The REVERT statement is then used to reset the execution context to the previous caller. The REVERT statement is executed multiple times moving up the stack until the execution context is set to the original caller.

USE AdventureWorks2022;  
GO  
-- Create two temporary principals.  
CREATE LOGIN login1 WITH PASSWORD = 'J345#$)thb';  
CREATE LOGIN login2 WITH PASSWORD = 'Uor80$23b';  
GO  
CREATE USER user1 FOR LOGIN login1;  
CREATE USER user2 FOR LOGIN login2;  
GO  
-- Give IMPERSONATE permissions on user2 to user1  
-- so that user1 can successfully set the execution context to user2.  
GRANT IMPERSONATE ON USER:: user2 TO user1;  
GO  
-- Display current execution context.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
-- Set the execution context to login1.   
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'login1';  
-- Verify that the execution context is now login1.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
-- Login1 sets the execution context to login2.  
EXECUTE AS USER = 'user2';  
-- Display current execution context.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
-- The execution context stack now has three principals: the originating caller, login1, and login2.  
-- The following REVERT statements will reset the execution context to the previous context.  
REVERT;  
-- Display the current execution context.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
REVERT;  
-- Display the current execution context.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
  
-- Remove the temporary principals.  
DROP LOGIN login1;  
DROP LOGIN login2;  
DROP USER user1;  
DROP USER user2;  
GO  

The following example sets the execution context of a session to a specified user and specifies the WITH NO REVERT COOKIE = @varbinary_variable clause. The REVERT statement must specify the value passed to the @cookie variable in the EXECUTE AS statement to successfully revert the context back to the caller. To run this example, the login1 login and user1 user created in example A must exist.

DECLARE @cookie VARBINARY(100);  
EXECUTE AS USER = 'user1' WITH COOKIE INTO @cookie;  
-- Store the cookie somewhere safe in your application.  
-- Verify the context switch.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
--Display the cookie value.  
SELECT @cookie;  
GO  
-- Use the cookie in the REVERT statement.  
DECLARE @cookie VARBINARY(100);  
-- Set the cookie value to the one from the SELECT @cookie statement.  
SET @cookie = <value from the SELECT @cookie statement>;  
REVERT WITH COOKIE = @cookie;  
-- Verify the context switch reverted.  
SELECT SUSER_NAME(), USER_NAME();  
GO
