Use T-Sql to find triggers on specific database

Published March 25, 2018 / by Chris Smith / Leave a Comment

Credit: Joe Stefanelli on Stack Overflow I wanted a simple way to find triggers on a specific database, Joe Stefanelli posted SQL which did exactly what I wanted.

SELECT 
     sysobjects.name AS trigger_name 
    ,USER_NAME(sysobjects.uid) AS trigger_owner 
    ,s.name AS table_schema 
    ,OBJECT_NAME(parent_obj) AS table_name 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS isupdate 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS isdelete 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS isinsert 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS isafter 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS isinsteadof 
    ,OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled] 
FROM sysobjects
INNER JOIN sysusers 
    ON sysobjects.uid = sysusers.uid
INNER JOIN sys.tables t 
    ON sysobjects.parent_obj = t.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s 
    ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE sysobjects.type = 'TR'

SELECT

sysobjects.name AS trigger_name

,USER_NAME(sysobjects.uid) AS trigger_owner

,s.name AS table_schema

,OBJECT_NAME(parent_obj) AS table_name

,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsUpdateTrigger') AS isupdate

,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsDeleteTrigger') AS isdelete

,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsertTrigger') AS isinsert

,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsAfterTrigger') AS isafter

,OBJECTPROPERTY( id, 'ExecIsInsteadOfTrigger') AS isinsteadof

,OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'ExecIsTriggerDisabled') AS [disabled]

FROM sysobjects

INNER JOIN sysusers

ON sysobjects.uid = sysusers.uid

INNER JOIN sys.tables t

ON sysobjects.parent_obj = t.object_id

INNER JOIN sys.schemas s

ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id

WHERE sysobjects.type = 'TR'

I needed to generate a list of folders and their subfolders, I used a simple command for dir command and slapped into a text file. Below replaced with the folder you want to get the list from (i.e C:\Users\Default) and replace with where you want to save a textfile (i.e C:\textfile.txt).

dir /b /s /a:d "<Location>\*" > <TextFile>

SQL Server 2008 – Find which stored procedure is part of a scheduled

Published November 25, 2017 / by Chris Smith / Leave a Comment

Find a stored procedure (or any text) inside a scheduled on on SQL Server 2008 and 2012 by querying the sysjobs and sysjobsteps system tables. The following provides the name of the job and the step name. It uses the standard % wildcard so replace myjob in “%myjob%” below

SELECT name, "description", "enabled", database_name,step_name,step_id,command
       FROM "msdb"."dbo"."sysjobsteps" t1
              INNER JOIN "msdb"."dbo"."sysjobs" t2 on t1.job_id = t2.job_id
       where t1."command" LIKE '%myjob%'

SELECT name, "description", "enabled", database_name,step_name,step_id,command

FROM "msdb"."dbo"."sysjobsteps" t1

INNER JOIN "msdb"."dbo"."sysjobs" t2 on t1.job_id = t2.job_id

where t1."command" LIKE '%myjob%'
