Code Snippet

To execute sp_helprotect on all databases on a server, saving the results into a temporary table, and then displaying the results, including the database name. Makes use of sp_msforeachdb, an undocumented stored procedure which is very nifty for cycling through each database on a server.

It took me a while to work out how to do what I wanted to do...

This code is provided as-is, with no warranties. Test it before using it in earnest: and if you want to share the joy, please credit me. I wouldn't have managed it without the code here.

CREATE TABLE #temptable

(

[Owner] VARCHAR(50),

[Object] VARCHAR(100),

grantee VARCHAR(50),

grantor VARCHAR(50),

protecttype VARCHAR(50),

[Action] VARCHAR(50),

[Column] VARCHAR(50),

dbname VARCHAR(50)

)



DECLARE @STATEMENT VARCHAR(500)



SET @STATEMENT = 'Use [' + '?' + ']
INSERT INTO #temptable
([Owner],
[Object],
Grantee,
Grantor,
ProtectType,
[Action],
[Column]
)
EXEC (''sp_helprotect'')
UPDATE #temptable SET dbname = db_name()
WHERE dbname IS NULL'



EXEC MASTER.dbo.Sp_msforeachdb @command1=@STATEMENT



GO



SELECT *

FROM #temptable

ORDER BY dbname



GO



DROP TABLE #temptable
GO
