Is there anyway, that I can generate a list of all the objects that a given user has access to (including type of access whether select or update etc), by running a SQL command? One of our databases has nearly 40,000 tables (no kidding!) I can always find this out by manually looking into the roles etc on the enterprise manager, but I need a way to find out using a T-SQL query..Thanks for any help!

Using SELECT * FROM SYSOBECTS also freezes the process. But the SQLServer is operational for data updates and retrieves.

Hello everybody. When I start to test SQL 2008 Febuary CTP I detect that sume of new options work incorrectly. This is description of this bug from Microsoft Connect:"I don`t know, may be somebody detect this issue too. Sorry If I create duplicate. I start SQL Server Managment Studio & click new query. After that I try to create simple query like this
Uses Master
Select "column name" from "table".
I was surprised because when start write column name I saw the pop-up objects list. But this was very strange list, because I didn`t find necessary columns. This list show only "common" objects(such as database nemes, functions & ect). I think that such list(after first select) should show only children objects(columns, keys, triggers, indexes & ect.), after that is you write "from" such list should show only parents objects (Such as table name, database name & ect).
PS. Sorry for my english." After that(today) I get the answer from MS SQL Team "Hi,
Your observation is correct. Selection list (column names) can suggests correct candidates once user specifies FROM clause.
Regrads,
Eric Kang
SQL Server Program Manager" & bug was closed as "By Design". Then I reopen this bug with such comments "
But It`s lokks very strange. If I want to select column name from the list I should: 1. write SELECT 2. Press Space 2. Write FROM "Table name" 3. Returt to free space after SELECT 4. Start Write "Column name". 5. Choose the necessary Column name from the list. There are too much for such simple operation.

Hi guys,
Being new to ASP.NET, I may be asking something that is dead simple, but please bear with me!
How would I go about listing all the tables, stored procedures and views from a SQL database within an aspx page? I understand how to connect and return a dataset etc, but that's about as far as I can get. I want to be able to list all of these objects from a given db - any ideas?
Additionally (this may not be possible) - is there a way I can list all of the objects within a visual studio.net solution, again within an aspx page?
Thanks for any help,
Jon
Hi, is there a way to find all the objects that are currently open on the server, that includes:
Tables, Views, SPs, Extended SPs, Triggers, Rules, Defaults, Indexes on the tables?
I can get some information from syslockinfo table but I can find a way to get the full picture.
Any help on that would be appreciated.

Need to find the list of objects that are referenced from the outside of current database. Example
Use TestDB1
Create Proc TestProc as begin
select * from TestDB1..Sysobjects
select * from sys.indexes
end
Need a query which able to return the following
LinkedServername, Databasename, TableName
null ,TestDB1 , Sysobjects
How can I get a list of all objects (like tables, views, stored procedures, etc) accessible by a login (user), or vice versa?

I was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best.

I have a little trouble with sql server 2005 express database:
customer need install new web application to hosting, but at hosting is currently exist other web application and it's using DB what I must use. DB contains a big number of tables, views, functions, etc.
I need delete all user objects from this DB, it must be as new created one.
Is any query whitch can do this?
PS: I know, best way for this is delete DB and create new one, but i haven't permissions for these.
Thank's for reply.
If I want to easily and quickly grant all permissions to a group of objects
for one user (or group), how can I do this with the tools provided?
In 6.5, I could right-click the user or group and click the "Grant All" button.
In 7.0 this is either missing or has been moved.
Thanks!

Usually all the user datatypes in our databases have the owner dbo.
One has a few that are owned by a user with dbo rights. I am trying to change them to dbo owner.
Sp_changeobjectowner gives 'object does not exist'

I'm trying to list everything (tables, view, procedures, functions, etc.) that was created by users in a database.
The query which seems to eliminate the most SQL system type objects is shown below.
SELECT *
FROM sys.all_objects SAO
WHERE SAO.is_ms_shipped = 0
order by SAO.type, SAO.name
This still includes some non-user created objects, like the below. See the attachment for details.
fn_diagramobjects
sp_alterdiagram
sp_creatediagram
How can I get rid of these type of objects without filtering on SAO.name LIKE...
I'm currently running SQL Server 2005, and have been exploring the feasibility of grouping users to use a default file group and data file. This would be to group a set of users to have their new tables reside in a specific data file. I only see mechanisms for moving an already existing objects into a file group or to set the entire databases default file group--not a user level association or dynamic assignment of the default for that user, script, etc.
It's not looking good.
I'm looking for confimration that it's not possible or leads on doing so.
Thanx in advance
Hi,
SQL Server Security is not my strong point so forgive me for asking stupid questions.
I have a bunch of tables and sprocs within a schema 'MySchema'. I have a user 'MyUser' defined in the database.
I would like to give MyUser permission to SELECT from tables and EXECUTE all sprocs in MySchema. What is the simplest way of doing that? Will the following:
GRANT EXECUTE ON SCHEMA::[MySchema] TO [MyUser] WITH GRANT OPTION AS [db_owner]
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA::[MySchema] TO [MyUser] WITH GRANT OPTION
accomplish that? (I can't test it out at the moment because our DBA isn't around and I don't have permission)
With best practices in mind - is what I am doing here considered "ok". Any suggestions/comments are welcome.
-Jamie
P.S. Can anyone recommend any documentation that talks about what best practices should be in the use of schemas. BOL is a bit sparse. Thanks.
Does anyone know the logic that Enterprise Manager/SQL Server uses to distinguish system objects from user objects. I've looked through all the sysobjects in the database and there doesn't seem to be any unique logic for seperating all objects. User tables are easily distinguished from system tables (U/S) but thats not the case with stored procedures and views. I'm looking for suggestions...
Thanks,

We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm making a copy of some tanles between 2 servers.
Server 1 requires a sql login
Server 2 is using Windows Auth.
I have a user on server 1 named "odbc" able to log in.
however my copy task fails, when I drill the error, it's lists the first user in server 1 alphabetically as the failed login???? but in my dts I am specifying the "odbc" user and password.
I think I have a permissions problem on server 1. So my Question, what minimum permissions does user "odbc" need to copy a table?
On server 1 I can copy from northwind to server 2 just fine..but any other db on server 1 causes the weird failure with the wrong username.
Any Ideas? I am not a DBA obviously :)

Hi!
There is a view in our replicated SQL-2000 database, that returns all user tables and views with replication state (0 if not included into publication, 1 if included):
Code Snippet
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[ViewREPL_PublishedObjects]
AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT
CASE [xtype]
WHEN 'U' THEN 'Table'
WHEN 'V' THEN 'View'
ELSE NULL END AS [Object Type],
[name] AS [Object Name],
CASE WHEN [replinfo] = 0
THEN 0 ELSE 1
END AS [Replicated]
FROM [sysobjects]
WHERE
[xtype] in ('U', 'V')
AND [status] > 0
ORDER BY
(CASE [xtype]
WHEN 'U' THEN 1
WHEN 'V' THEN 2
ELSE 10
END),
[name]
Now we need to upgrade our database to SQL-2005, but [sysobjects] table have been changed, so neither Replicated state could be determined according on [replinfo] column value, nor User/System object according on [status].
So, I need a view with same functionality, that will work under SQL-2005 and 2008.
Please, help!
We are running SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2008 Server. In one database, we would like to create a view which access objects in another database without giving the user permissions to the underlying base tables in the other database. The ownership chain is broken in this case. Can this be accomplished (considering the ownership chain is broken)? If so, what is the easiest method to accomplish this task? Or
Example 1 (Works):
In DB1:
--UserA selects from Schema1.View1 (which access tables in DB2).
In DB2:
--UserA exists with select permissions on the base tables accessed by Schema1.View1 (in DB1).
Example 2 (trying to accomplish):
In DB1:
--UserA selects from Schema1.View1 (which access tables in DB2).
In DB2:
--UserA exists (or may not exists) with NO permissions on the base tables accessed by Schema1.View1 (in DB1).
Hi!
I'm assisting in the creation of a development enviroment with SQL Server 2005, and I need to assign some custom roles, in particular, a Stored Developer Role should be able to create, modify and execute Stored Procedures but they should not be able to alter tables or views, but should be able to retrieve/insert data from those tables.
I've tried with the default roles in 2005 to no avail.
Is there a relatively easy way to accomplish this with a database alredy populated with objects of both kinds? (SP's and Tables / Views)
Thanks!
We are having problems with the response times from UPS WorldShip after switching from SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
I think that the problem can be fixed from the database end by setting the permissions correctly for the user/role/schema that is being used by WorldShip to connect to the server but, I'm not sure how to do it.
The Setup
Client
UPS WorldShip 8.0 running on XP Pro SP2
Connecting via Sql Native Client via SQL Server Login
Connection is over a T1 via VPN
Server -
SQL Server Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003
2x3ghz Xeon processors w/ 4gb ram
The user that is being used to connect runs under it's own schema and role and only needs access to two tables in a specific database on the server.
What UPS WorldShip seems to be doing is on a continual basis retrieving information about the layout of the database via calls such as the following
exec [sys].sp_tables NULL,NULL,NULL,N'''VIEW''',@fUsePattern=1
exec [webservices].[sys].sp_columns_90 N'CHECK_CONSTRAINTS',N'INFORMATION_SCHEMA',N'webservices',NULL,@fUsePattern=1
exec [webservices].[sys].sp_columns_90 N'COLUMN_DOMAIN_USAGE',N'INFORMATION_SCHEMA',N'webservices',NULL,@fUsePattern=1
This seems to happen whenever WorldShip contacts the database to find out information in order to be able to create a mapping to the database as well as exporting information to it. Because of the VPN connection these calls take anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes.
I am fairly confident that the problem lies with these calls to the database which I was able to capture using the SQL Server Profiler. We have experimented with the following setups.
1. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Native Client - No noticeable lag
2. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Server 2000 driver - No Noticable lag
3. Connecting to SQL 2005 locally with SQL Native Client - No Noticable lag
4. Connectiong to SQL 2005 over VPN with SQL Native Client - Lots of lag
Our network admin has been testing the network connections over the VPN and it is very responsive with none of the long wait times found when using UPS WorldShip.
Now for a possible solution other than getting UPS to fix their software. I think that by limiting the tables and views that the login is able to see will cut down significantly on the lag times that are being experienced. The problem is that there were 264 items that were being returned by sp_tables. I was able to cut that down to 154. I am unable to disable access to any of the rest of the items because they are server scoped.
Take for example the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS view. When I try to deny access to it in any way I get the following error:
Permissions on server scoped catalog views or system stored procedures or extended stored procedures can be granted only when the current database is master (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4629)
Am I able to deny access to these types of object and if so how? Also, what objects should be accessable such as sys.database_mirroring, sys.database_recovery_status, etc?
I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?

Hi guys,
I've been developing desktop client-server and web apps and have used Access and SQL Server Standard most of the time.
I'm looking into using SQL CE, and had a few questions that I can't seem to get a clear picture on:
- The documentation for CE says that it supports 256 simultaneous connections and offers the Isolation levels, Transactions, Locking, etc with a 4GB DB. But most people say that CE is strictly a single-user DB and should not be used as a DB Server.
Could CE be extended for use as a multi-user DB Server by creating a custom server such as a .NET Remoting Server hosted through a Windows Service (or any other custom host) on a machine whereby the CE DB would run in-process with this server on the machine which would then be accessed by multiple users from multiple machines??
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
- and further more can we use Enterprise Services (Serviced Components) to connect to SQL CE and further extend this model to offer a pure high-quality DB Server?
Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> Enterprise Services -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
Seems quite doable to me, but I may be wrong..please let me know either ways
Thanks,
CP
I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?
Thanks,
