I've just started to mess around with MS SQL (Express for now) 2012 and am playing around creating takes and running queries. One thing I'm trying to do is get a users Full Name into an entry.

If I use SUSER_SNAME() I get the correct username in the form DOMAIN\user. What I want is the full name that is tied to that username. So currently I'm getting DOMAIN\pow but what I really want is David Pow

How do I do it?
