I have a user that needs to be restricted to only viewing views. This so far is done. The only problem is the views are looking at other databases. The user then needs rights on those databases what leads to him being able to query the tables (what i dont want).

How can i fix this?

Maybe create views in that database and give access to those - reference those views rather than the tables.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Yes sure, user must have SELECT right on second database tables which are refered in your first database view.
