Hi,
I'm doing an impact analysis to see what views / stored procedures etc are impacted by a change to columns in a table.
I'm using the system tables to identify these changes, and it is something that I'll have to repeat across all our databases in case the tables are being accessed from elsewhere.
I'd like to make sure I'm doing it the right way so could someone point me in the direction of a good article or code for doing this.
thanks
Sean
Hi,I have a few things on my databases which seem to be neither true systemobjects or user objects - notably a table called 'dtproperties' (createdby Enterprise manager as I understand, relating to relationship graphingor something) and some stored procs begining with "dt_" (some kind ofsource control stuff, possible visual studio related). These show up whenI use"exec sp_help 'databaseName'"but not in Ent. Mgr. or in Query Analyzer's object browser, and also notin a third party tool I use called AdeptSQL. I am wondering how thosetools know to differentiate between these types of quasi-system objects,and my real user data. (This is for the purpose of a customized schemagenerator I am writing). I'd prefer to determine this info with systemstored procs (ie sp_help, sp_helptex, sp_...etc) but will dip into thesystem tables if needed.Thanks,Dave

I want to know where I can find Object permission detailes, For example
I have table1 and user "abc", I have given permission to user "abc" for table1 to "SELECT" "INSERT", "UPDATE", I want to know where this detail is stored in system table. I was looking at "SYSUSERS","SYSLOGINS",
"SYSPERMISSIONS", "SYSMEMBERS", "SYSOBJECTS" I couldn't find anything, If some one can post your answers that will be great.

Hello,
I have succesffuly BCP out system tables(sysdatabases, sysdevices, syslogins, and sysusages). Now I want to BCP those same tables IN to create devices, databases and so on using the BCP utility. I run the same command used to BCP out and only changes the OUT to IN but it did not work.
Can somebody whose done this before tell me how to do it.
Many Many thanks,

Where can I find a discussion of how to interpret the keys1 and keys2 columns of the sysindexes table? These columns are binary(255) and are supposed to contain a description of the columns to which the index applies. I also need to know how to interpret the status column of the sysconstraints column.

I've one Sybase DBA asking this question, Is this really true, Pls help me.
Due to architectural changes in SQL Server 7.0, you cannot dump the transaction log if a database's system tables are inaccessible (due to media failure, for instance)in 7.0 and later versions. Microsoft recommends that separate devices be used for system tables and user tables to allow a final log backup to take place in the event the data device is inaccessible. The additional exposure incurred by not doing this is possible loss of data for the interval between the last transaction dump and the point of failure.

I have created a linked server XYZ that is linked to server ABC. I am tying to view the tables via XYZ but I'm unable to do so. I can only see the system tables. When I run a select statement, I get the correct results. That means I have the access to the tables, yet why am I not able to see the tables.

HI all,
I need to understand a little bit more about SQL Server built in tables. For example in Oracle if I need to check for tables names under one database. The query will be something like this:
Select table_name from user_tables;
Or to get column_name and table_names:
Select column_name, table_name from user_tab_columns;
How can I do this in sql server 7?
I know there is a table called sysobjects. The sysobject will give me all the objects in the database but how can I specify wether its a table or a column. More over can someone refer me a good book for sql server 7. Both development and administration.
Thank you in advance!!!!
I need to keep track of changes (delete/modify) in sysusers table. SQL Books Online mentionend that SQL Server 7.0 doesn't support trigger on system tables. What options do I have?

Hi everyone,
I've recently installed MSQL Server 7.0 Standart Version and every time I create a new database, system tables are created and are visible also. That means, I instantely get 18 tables, 20 views, 18 stored procedures and so on. Can I hide them??? I mean, my tables are all mixed with the system tables. If I can hide all the system tables and views and so on please tell me! Thanks.
I'm thinking of building a trigger against a system table(sysobjects) in
database(a) on server(a) that will assist me in updating a table in
database(b)on server(b). What I need to know from table(b)is if a new table
has been added and removed from database(a) on server(a). I want to use a
store procedure to query the table(b). I was thinking of building a trigger
against my sysobjects table that would update table(b) whenever any tables
are added or removed from database(a). Has anyone built triggers against
system tables? I am running SQL 7.
Does anyone know how to get the row count of a user table by using the system tables.
There is no guarantee that these user tables will have any indexes - so I can not use the sysindexes table to count the rows in a clustered index.
Is there another way?
I can't see the system tables when I try to pull them up in a linked table view from ACCESS or in a VIEW in SQL Server. I can't adjust my permissions to make them appear in any way that I have tried. Do you know how to do this?

Where can I see system tables in SSMS?
------------------------
I think, therefore I am - Rene Descartes
In previous versions we could query the system tables to get metadata.
In SQL 2005 they seem to be hidden. They are there. You can query them, but I can't find them.
Question: Is there any way to see them in SSMS?
Yeah, I know you aren't supposed to, but hey, they are usefull and I like them.
Microsoft has given us a confusing collection of alternatives for finding metadata;
System views, Catalog Views, Dynamic Management Views, Compatibility Views, Information_schema views.
I have tried to organize some thoughts on what these are and here is what I make of them.
If any of this is in error, I would like some corrections.
SYSTEM VIEW - the stuff below and more. Shows system information.
...CATALOG VIEW - is a system view on the system tables
...DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT VIEW - is a system view on system tables and various buffers for current status info.
...COMPATIBILITY VIEW - is a system view which shows ONLY 2000 information. It is there for compatibility.
...INFORMATION_SCHEMA VIEW - each database has it's own set. Holds db-level metadata.

I made a copy of our database and restored it to a new database. We want to strip all the content out except the users and roles. I have been able to delete everything except "system" tables, views and stored procedures.
Can anyone help me get rid of these?

Hi!I need to recreate the system tables (sysobjects, syscolumns,sysindexes, sysforeignkeys, sysconstraints, sysreferences, sysindexkeysat least) in another SQL server.You may say "Thats easy! Backup and restore the database!" and I wouldanswer "I can't, the database size is above 50GB and I just can't do itevery time I need to recreate the info".So, żDo you know any simple way to do these?I don't need the data on the user tables and I'll log-in always as dbo(using trusted connection), perhaps that helps.Perhaps the simplest way is to do a bcp to backup and restore the databut.... you never know what would happen. This is why I write ask youguy, probably you know much more than me.Thanks in advance
