Question

Does anyone know how to get an equivalent of the SQL Server 2000 sysobjects uid column from the 2005+ sys.objects (or another) view?

I am trying to convert this code, as we are getting rid of all sysobjects references.

DECLARE GETOBJECTS CURSOR FOR 
SELECT NAME, UID FROM SYSOBJECTS
WHERE TYPE IN ('U','P')
    AND UID <> 1
    AND LOWER(RTRIM(NAME)) NOT LIKE 'PB%'

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Answer 1

UID refers to the User ID of the owner of the object…

In SQL 2005 and SQl 2008, you can find it in

sys.sysobjects 

field name UID

Sys.sysobjects

UID =1 is the dbo user.

So to use the routines and tables views and filter out dbo, try the following code

select Routine_name as Name, specific_schema as user 
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
where specific_schema <> 'dbo'
UNION
select Table_name as Name, specific_schema as user 
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
where specific_schema <> 'dbo'
