Scheduled Cursor

Hiya,
Got a little question for future reference. I have a cursor that does a grant for roles, users, etc. for all tables in a DB. I can manually run it in query analyzer and it does fine. The issue is that if I try to create it as a SQL Agent job and just paste the script into the command box it returns the error:

Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'xxx yyy'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 170) Associated statement is not prepared [SQLSTATE HY007] (Error 0) Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'xxx yyy'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 170). The step failed.

The Cursor is written as follows:


declare @cStatement varchar(255)

declare G_cursor CURSOR for select 'grant select on[' + convert(varchar(64),name) + ']to "xxx yyy"' from sysobjects
where (type = 'U' or type = 'V') and uid = 1

set nocount on
OPEN G_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
begin
EXEC (@cStatement)
FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
end
DEALLOCATE G_cursor


I figure this has something to do with the quoted_identifier option or something simple like that, but I can't put my finger on it....In Query Analyzer this will error out if I don't have double quotes around the DB role "xxx yyy" because of the space in the role name.

I corrected the error by recreating the role name without a space, but I have some other places I'd like to be able to use this where I won't have the luxury of recreating the role if it has a space in the name.

Any takers?:confused:
