Sql – Create user that can only SEE one database, and only select from it

sqlsql-serversql-server-2008sql-server-2008-r2tsql

We have several databases on SQL server.
We would like to create 1 new user that can see database 'c' but can not see the rest of the databases.

This user should only be able to select from this database, and nothing else.
I have been googleing and searching for a while now, and the closest I found was to deny view any database, and then make them the database owner.

But I don't think that will work for limiting them to select, unless is there a way I can
deny everything except for select on a database owner?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: SQL Server 2008 R2, by the way.

Edit2: Sorry, I was not clear in my original post. I am looking to make it so when they log in they won't even see the names of other databases, not just that they can't access them.

Thanks.

Best Solution

1) Create the user on the server

2) Add the user to the given database

3) Grant read-only access to the database

USE [master]
CREATE LOGIN [SomeUserName] WITH PASSWORD=N'someStr0ngP@ssword', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[c], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON
GO

USE [c]
CREATE USER [SomeUserName] FOR LOGIN [SomeUserName] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO

EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_datareader', N'SomeUserName'
