List the owners of a database for a ODBC, OLEDB or CUSTOM connection by using the [GetDatabaseOwners method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2025/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-doc-getdatabaseowners.htm).

## Example

[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/CreatingAppLoadingData/ViewDataToLoad/list-owners-database.htm)

#### The goal is to list the owners of a database for an ODBC connection.

The database name is AdventureWorks and the identifier of the connection is 067BA596-D4397921-6AD15864-BD08FDF7-2A09D765.

The handle of the request is 1 because the [GetDatabaseOwners method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2025/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-doc-getdatabaseowners.htm) applies at app level.

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 6,
  "method": "GetDatabaseOwners",
  "handle": 1,
  "params": [
    "067BA596-D4397921-6AD15864-BD08FDF7-2A09D765",
    "AdventureWorks"
  ]
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 6,
  "result": {
    "qOwners": [
      {
        "qName": "dbo"
      },
      {
        "qName": "HumanResources"
      },
      {
        "qName": "Person"
      },
      {
        "qName": "Production"
      },
      {
        "qName": "Purchasing"
      },
      {
        "qName": "Sales"
      },
      {
        "qName": "INFORMATION_SCHEMA"
      },
      {
        "qName": "sys"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The list of the owners for the database AdventureWorks is displayed.
