Undocumented System Stored Procedures
May 15, 2007
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.

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?

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

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!

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.

I 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.
sp_ActiveDirectory_Obj
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP' Line 171
sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP' Line 171
sp_ActiveDirectory_Start

Invalid object name 'sys.sp_add_agent_parameter' Line 60
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_add_agent_profile' Line 123
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_add_data_file_recover_suspect_db' Line 17
sp_addalias

sp_databases
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_databases'. Line 6
sp_tables
Invalid object name 'sys.sp_tables'
Is there a chance that these errors are due to the fact that I executed them without parameters?
Thanks

I 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?

Hello,
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

Hi all,
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?
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server DBCC commands?
Thanks,

Hi,
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter

Does anyone know where I can get information about undocumented stored procedures and extended stored procedures? I found 'xp_dirtree' and I think I've figured out how to use this one but there are others and I'd like some insight into what they do.

I have created a store procedure in sql server 2005.
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.
Finally I found it stays under system procedure folder.
How this could happen?
