Adding a database user

Hi,
Could someone please tell me how to add a database user using a query? I
know how to set the appropriate permissions for tables of existing users,
but I can't figure out how to add a new user.
Thank you,
SteveSteve,
Do you mean a User or a Login or both? There is a difference and a User is
no good without an associated Login. You may want to check out sp_adduser
and sp_addlogin in BooksOnLine.

Also have a look into the system procedures which allocate fixed roles to
users/logins in books online.
sp_addsrvrolemember and sp_addrolemember

Use sp_addlogin to add a new SQL login.
Use sp_grantlogin to grant an existing Windows account access to SQL Server
Use sp_grantdbaccess to add a SQL login or Windows account as a database
user
For example:
EXEC sp_addlogin 'MySqlLogin', 'MyPassword'
EXEC sp_grantlogin 'MyDomain\MyAccount'
USE MyDatabase
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'MySqlLogin'
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'MyDomain\MyAccount'
See the Books Online for details.
Hope this helps.
