Question

Good Morning,

I have connected to my SQL Server 2005 – and have managed to list all of the databases on that server. Now I would like to run a check on each database to see if I have permission to view that database..

How would I go about this?

Many Thanks,
Joel

Firstly, you’ll need to find out all of the names in your DB server:

SELECT [name]
  FROM sys.databases;

Then, you’ll have to run the following command for each database in order to get the permissions:

USE databaseName;

SELECT *
  FROM fn_my_permissions(null, 'DATABASE')
