Get List of Extended storedProcedures that are Allowed to you for Common Use

• Download script - 820 B

Introduction 

For how many extended storedProcedures do you have the permission to use as public in your own SQL queries / storedProcedure as well? This simple article will show you all the extended storedProcedures allowed to you for common use.

Background  

A couple of months ago, I needed to work with SQL server extended storedProcedure, where I found some extended storedProcedures which are not allowing properly to perform some task.

That’s why I tried to get a list of all extended storedProcedures which are available to you for common use.

Using the Code 

It’s a very simple method. I just use the sysobjects and syspermissions system tables from the master database. The table definitions are as follows:

sysobjects  

Contains one row for each object (constraint, default, log, rule, stored procedure, and so on) created within a database. In tempdb only, this table includes a row for each temporary object.

More details will be available from this link. 

syspermissions

Contains information about permissions granted and denied to users, groups, and roles in the database. This table is stored in each database.

More details will be available from this link.

Example script is given below: 

-- ================================================
-- Template generated from Template Explorer using:
-- Create Procedure (New Menu).SQL

-- Use the Specify Values for Template Parameters
-- command (Ctrl-Shift-M) to fill in the parameter
-- values below.

-- the definition of the procedure.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spGetPUBLIC_EXProcedure]
AS
BEGIN

    SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT SystemObject.name AS [Extended storedProcedure]
             , USER_NAME(SystemPermissionObject.grantee) AS [Granted to]

    FROM    master.dbo.sysobjects AS SystemObject
            INNER JOIN master.dbo.syspermissions AS SystemPermissionObject
            ON SystemObject.id = SystemPermissionObject.id

    WHERE   (SystemObject.type = 'X')
    ORDER BY SystemObject.name

END

GO

Conclusion

I hope that this article might be helpful to you. Enjoy!
