I am trying to determine which are undocumented system procedures used to satisfy our company's security audit. Well, the nature of undocumented system procedures is it's undocumented. Hence, it's hard to find.
So, is there a way I can get a list of SQL Server documented system procedures?
I know there are a lot of undocumented system stored procedures such as xp_ntsec_enumdomains, xp_instance_regread etc, that exist on SQL Server.
Does anyone know of any good websites that contain descriptions of what these stored procedures do? In particular I know that a default installation of SQL Server 2000 leaves permission to execute many of these granted to public and I am interested in finding out what the implications of each one of these are? I have tried Googling this topic but there doesn't seem to me much or there (or what is there is in Chinese and I don't really want to click on to!)
Once again thanks for the help.
Hi All
Undocumented SP's like 'Sp_Msforeachdb',.
What are all the USP's availble,how for it is safe to use SP's
Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason
Hi all

Like wise is their any query in sql server 2005
b'coz
I want all system procedures
as like sp_password or sp_help
i want list of all procedures
for that i wrote query as
select * from sysobjects

Thanks in advance

hi, i see there are lots of system store procedures available but could you specify me the ones that are used in day to day work as a DBA??

BIZZARO WORLD
About a year ago we inherited a SQL server (7.0) from another division of our company. The time has come to migrate the SQL Server functionality onto a new machine. Before I do this though, I need to figure out what the initial installation configuration was so I can set up the new server with the same specs. I am looking for a system stored procedure(s) that can tell me the following:
Case sensitivity, accent sensitivity, SQL build (SP), character set, etc. Basically I need to know what checkboxes were ticked during the initial set up of the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
So every database i created has no system stored procedures. I didn't know how that could happen as I am not the person who installed sql2000. What should I do to get all the system stored procedures back?
TIA
I am trying to edit a system stored(sp_add_dtspackage) procedure and cannot for the life of me find where to edit. This procedure does a check to keep users from saving changes to a package they do not own. I need users to be able to change the the packages when they are not always the one who created.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL Server installation that is missing the stored procedures used for mail (xp_startmail, xp_stopmail, etc.). Is there a way that I can put these on the server without having to reinstall SQL? I tried to generate them from other servers but SQL won't allow you to do this with these particular stored procedures.

I need to create a stored procedure in the master database (yes, I know it's not that good of an idea). I'm working with SQL 2K5, SP2 Whenever I create it, it is marked as a system stored procedure no matter what I name it, what schema I put it in, or what user I use to create it (sysadmin or minimal permissions).
As soon as I create it, if I do any of the following, I can see it to be a system stored procedure and not a regular user sp.
1) SELECT * FROM sys.objects where is_ms_shipped = 1
2) SELECT * FROM sys.procedures where is_ms_shipped = 1
3) Looking in SSMS... There is a special folder for system stored procedures in SSMS, and mine is in there.
At least in my case, the only thing it hurts is that you have to be a sysadmin to execute that stored procedure (and I need to have a non sysadmin be able to execute it). Other than that, it executes normally when run by a sysadmin.
Any suggestions on why this is happening? It's only happening on 1 out of about 80 SQL servers we have.
I tried this morning to check some of the system stored procedures and ran into trouble. Only four of them executed: sp_alterdiagram, sp_creatediagram, sp_dropdiagram and sp_helpdiagramdefinition. I could not check all the rest, I did it selectively. The typical error message was: Invalid object on RETURN statement. Some had syntactical errors.

i found that some stored procedure get created automatically in sqlserver 2000 (system stored procedures) ,while doing my work i accidentally deleted those stored procedures can any body answer following questions1: why these stored procedures are there and automatically created2: what happen en if i deleted those stored procedures3: how to recreate those stored procedures with limited user permission thanks in advance
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recall that stored procedures created in the master database and having a name beginning with sp_ are available from all databases. However, I've found varying results when invoking such a procedure from a different database. For example:
DECLARE tables CURSOR FOR
select name from sysobjects
where type='U'
order by name
for read only
populates a cursor with the list of tables in the database from which you are running the procedure. However this query in the same stored procedure:
SELECT count(*)
FROM sysExcludeMaint
WHERE @tablename like tablename
fails with "Invalid object name 'sysExcludeMaint'." if the table sysExcludeMaint
doesn't exist in the master database (it does exist in the database from which I've invoked the proc). I'm not clear on why the different results. Anyone know?
A system stored procedure got accidentally deleted, and all backups aresince the stored procedure was deleted (wonderful!)Can the SQL for the stored procedure be extracted from another serverand loaded as opposed to removing everything and then rebuilding theserver?Thanks in advance!

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
We are trying to be proactive and stop a potential performance issue by reducing the number of recompiles in our SQL 2000 database application. This database is replicated. After viewing output from Profiler and PerfMon it seems that over 90% of the recompiles are due to system stored procedures generated by replication merge agents. Can anything be done about this?
Thanks

At first, it shows up as a normal user defined store procedure in Object explorer.
Recently, I found I could not found the procedure in normal place. But the execution is fine.

How this could happen?
disable the following system stored procedure (xp_grantlogin and xp_revokelogin)?

I would like to enable users that do not belong to groups (server roles) such as sysadmin, serveradmin and don't have db permissions such as ddl_admin or db_owner to run some of the system stored procedures (such as sp_addumpdevice sp_configure sp_serveroption ...) and DBCC commands (such as DBCC CHECKFILEGROUP - requires ob_owner or sysadmin permission).
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server system stored procedures?

SQL Server 2000
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
We recently moved our servers from one domain to another. Now, we can't grant Windows users access to any databases. We CAN create the user IDs successfully via Enterprise Manager, and get a corresponding row in MASTER..SYSXLOGINS, but can't click on the Database Access tab in the SQL Server Login Properties dialog and grant accesss to any databases. When we try to do so, we get error 15401, "Windows user or group xxx not found". The underlying call is to MASTER..SP_GRANTDBACCESS, and running that via Query Analyzer returns the same error (naturally)
Looking through the code of SP_GRANTDBACCESS, I've determined that what is failing is a call to the undocumented TSQL function GET_SID. This proc takes two parameters, the first is either G<nt group name> or U<nt user name> and the second is NULL in the call in SP_GRANTDBACCESS. If I execute
SELECT GET_SID('U<valid user>', NULL)
it returns NULL, however, if I run
SELECT SUSER_SID(<valid user>)
then I get the Windows SID of whatever valid user name I supply.
We have 3 servers in question, namely production, development and test. We noticed the problem on production. Curiously enough, development and test worked fine.
NOW THE PLOT THICKENS. If I run this query on the dev box....
SELECT SUSER_SID(<id>), GET_SID('U<id>',NULL)
...the first function returned the SID, BUT THE SECOND FUNCTION DID NOT!!! How could that be? Clearly GET_SID was working inside of SP_GRANTDBACCESS, but not as a discrete call. So I went into the master database and added code to print out the SID returned by GET_SID to the proc. Lo and behold, SP_GRANTDBACCESS promptly failed with a 15401 error. It continues to get 15401s now, even after I returned it to the original code. What gives? Now my dev box has the same error production has, and all I did was recompile SP_GRANTDBACCESS a couple of times. FWIW, I did *not* ever make any changes to SP_GRANTDBACCESS on production.
Why doesn't GET_SID() work outside of SP_GRANTDBACCESS?
Why did recompiling SP_GRANTDBACCESS break it permanently?
It almost seems like the query compiler can't correctly link a call to GET_SID to the correct function in some DLL, except I thought that the compiled code didn't survive a restart, and all TSQL procs were recompiled the first time they were called after a restart. If that's the case, then the compiler is - or at least was - producing a functioning compiled version of SP_GRANTDBACCESS after every restart.
Greetings:
I have MSSQL 2005. On earlier versions of MSSQL saving a stored procedure wasn't a confusing action. However, every time I try to save my completed stored procedure (parsed successfully ) I'm prompted to save it as a query on the hard drive.
How do I cause the 'Save' action to add the new stored procedure to my database's list of stored procedures?
Thanks!
We recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. We had several stored procedures in the master database and, rather than completely rewriting a lot of code, we just recreated these stored procedures in the new master database.
For some reason, some of these stored procedures are getting stored as "System Stored Procedures" rather than just as "Stored Procedures". Queries to sys.Objects and sys.Procedures shows that these procs are being saved with the is_ms_shipped field set to 1, even though they obviously were not shipped with the product.
I can't update the sys.Objects or sys.Procedures views in 2005.
What effect will this flag (is_ms_shipped = 1) have on my stored procedures?
Can I move these out of "System Stored Procedures" and into "Stored Procedures"?
Thanks!
