How To Access System Catalog Views From A UDF
Nov 26, 2007I'm trying to access a System Catalog View (sys.database_permissions, and others) from a table valued function. I need to be able to pass the database name into the function so that I can operate on any database. Typically I'd use dynamic SQL to do something like
INSERT INTO #tempTable
EXEC ('SELECT * FROM ' + @DBName + '.sys.database_permissions')
But of course I can't use dynamic SQL inside of a UDF. I know I could do this using a stored procedure, but I'd need the output to be a recordset that I can query.
Has anyone done anything like this? I think I'm stuck.
Not Seeing Some Linked Server Catalog Views
Jan 30, 2008SQL 2005 SP2 in Managemrnt Studio...
I have a linked server set-up pointing to an instance that has several databases. In one catalog I have no tables or views being listed for the catalog. So I select a view, add the permissions that should allow the view to show in the list but it does not. And I did refresh and I did even restart management studio.
BTW: I can exec the view using a 4 part name.
Any one have an idea why the view don't show in the list?
Thanks much

Get The List Of Catalog Views In SQL Server 2005

Distributed Query From SS 2000 To Access Catalog Views On SS 2005 Via Linked Server
Aug 24, 2006I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong.
Thank you
SQL 2012 :: Catalog Doesn't Have Option To Give Read Access To SSIS Catalog To View Package Run Reports
Oct 23, 2014"SSIS 2012 Catalog doesn't have option to give read access to SSIS Catalog to view package run reports" ... Any luck allowing power developers / operators access to READ the SQL 2012 SSIS Execution Reports without granting them SSIS_Admin or Sysadmin?
According to this link posted back in 2011 (w/ Microsoft's feedback in Nov 2011: "We’re closing this issue as “Won’t Fix.” At this point the bug does not meet our bar for resolving prior to SQL Server 2012 RTM. As we approach the SQL Server 2012 release the bar for making code changes gets progressively higher." URL....Regarding Permissions to SSIS Catalog, here are the findings. We can give access in three ways:
1. READ Access – We can provide a user db_datareader access. With this the user can see the objects within the SSIS catalog database, but cannot see the reports.
2. SSIS_ADMIN – Add the user to this database role in SSISDB. With this the user can view the reports. But it also provides them privileges to modify catalog information which is not expected. We can add it using below script EXEC sp_addrolemember 'ssis_admin' , 'REDMONDPAIntelAnalyst'
3. SYSADMIN - Add the user to this server role. This will make the user an admin on the SQL server. This is not intended. Is there any method available which will have provision to give read only access to see SSIS Catalog package execution reports and not having modify Catalog access.
Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

System Catalog Question
Sep 28, 2004Hey there,
I'm trying to run the following query:
if exists(select * from shistory.dbo.sysobjects where name='STOCK_815')
drop table [shistory.dbo.STOCK_815]
and I get the error:
"Cannot drop table 'shistory.dbo.STOCK_815', because it does not exist in the system catalog."
The table IS there, DOES exist, but I cannot run that query. The only way I can run it is by changing the name of the table to
STOCK_815 like this:
if exists(select * from Stock_History.dbo.sysobjects where name='STOCK_PRE_815')
drop table [STOCK_PRE_815]
Why?
Thx

Display Of Initial Catalog
May 14, 2008Hi
I'm not a sql server savvy, so I need assistance on the following two scenarios:
A customer runs a script like this (slightly larger, but I ripped away the meat)
---------------------------------------
create database test_database
go
USE [test_database]
exec sp_changedbowner 'sa'
use master;
go
sp_grantlogin 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN';
go
use test_database;
go
-- lots of table creations, where one of the tables are TEST_TABLE
sp_addrole 'ADMIN_ROLE';
Go
sp_grantdbaccess @loginame = 'server01CUSTOM_ADMIN', @name_in_db = 'USER_ADMIN';
go
sp_addrolemember @rolename ='ADMIN_ROLE' , @membername = 'USER_ADMIN';
Go
GRANT SELECT , UPDATE , INSERT , DELETE ON [dbo].[TEST_TABLE] TO [ADMIN_ROLE]
GO
---------------------------
Now, if a person is added to the server01CUSTOM_ADMIN group, he/she should be able to do the following: (let's say it's a he)
- Create a test.udl-file (win xp). Set a provider to sql server.
- On the connection-tab enter hostname of database server in the Data Source-field and use windows NT Integrated security.
- When he now test the connection, it should work, since he has access to the database.
- Also, using the dropdown "3. Enter the initial catalog to use:", he should see SOME datatables. Not ALL, not none. The ones that he has access to.
So, if TEST_DATABASE is the only access that server01CUSTOM_ADMIN has, that database and only that one should show, right?
In my customers scenario, some databases show (irrelevant ones), but not TEST_DATABASE. In my test, I still get ALL databases. Even after I rip the guy out of the Administrators-group and Users-group. He's only a member of the CUSTOM_ADMIN-group on server01. "Test connection" succeeds, and all the databases on the server shows.
What I hope for is following questions like "He's probably sysadmin, check it" etc, so that I can systematically (using your brains) filter out the reasons for these scenarios to happen.
Thanks in advance.

Querying System Catalog
Oct 15, 2007
Hi All,
I have a requirement where in for a given View name, I need to programatically find out all the tables that are used in the view and I also need to find out how each table in the view is linked.
For example, if I create a simple view like
CREATE VIEW XYZ AS
SELECT *
FROM TableA
INNER JOIN TableB ON TableA.ID = TableB.FKID
INNER JOIN TableC ON TableA.ID = TableC.FKID
I need to find out all the Tables involved in the view i.e. TableA, TableB and TableC. I also need to find out how TableA and TableB, TableA and TableC are linked (i mean the join Condition).
Could some one please point me to resources that can help me find the answer to this.
Thanks in advance

View 2 Replies View RelatedDatabase Catalog Unique Identifier
Jan 4, 2007I need to develop a strong licensing solution based on the database accessed...
Currently our solution is easily hackable because the the license information is kept in the database of your choice and is not dependant on some static information, the current encryption key is static and kept in the software so it can be hacked easily. What i want to do to change this is simple in nature but i don't know how to get that one particular info i need.
I want to get some kind of unique identifier for a database (catalog) that sql server could generate. This info must be static and must not be movable. If for example, someone would backup and restore, this information would not be transfered with the backup. Thus, a user that backups his database and restores it on another database server or another database catalog even on the same server would corrupt his license since the Unique ID returned by the SQL Server would be different; the hashing code would change and thus the decryption would fail.
Is there any such info i can query using SQL that will not require admin rights?
