Run the script for each database

  • Hello All,

    This might be a very simple for some but I am in a bit pickle for this.

    i have run on each database and gives me list of all the non-default schema's and their owners.

    I want to be able to run this script on every database in a server by reading the name of the databases from sys table.

    I tired to use undocumented Sp MSforeachdb but i am stuck, can someone please guide me.

    ............................This is the script i got form google ...................................

    USE <<database_name>> — Execute for each database

    GO

    – List of non-standard schemas and their owners

    SELECT a.name AS Database_Schema_Name, b.name AS Schema_Owner

    FROM sys.schemas a

    INNER JOIN sys.database_principals b

    ON a.principal_id = b.principal_id

    WHERE a.schema_id <> a.principal_id

    AND b.type <> ‘R’

    – List of users and their default schemas

    SELECT name AS Database_User, Default_Schema_Name

    FROM sys.database_principals

    WHERE type <> ‘R’

    Thanks in advance

    What's wrong with msforeachdb?

    Well, something, actually.

    You could use Aaron Bertrand's replacement[/url] or my humble attempt[/url].

  • Just ran a slightly modified version of your code with sp_msforeachdb and it works. Here is the code that I've used. If you still have problems with sp_msforeachdb can you let us know what the problem is?

    exec sp_MSforeachdb

    'SELECT ''?'' as DBName, a.name AS Database_Schema_Name, b.name AS Schema_Owner

    FROM ?.sys.schemas a

    INNER JOIN ?.sys.database_principals b

    ON a.principal_id = b.principal_id

    WHERE a.schema_id <> a.principal_id

    AND b.type <> ''R''

    --- List of users and their default schemas

    SELECT ''?'' as DBName, name AS Database_User, Default_Schema_Name

    FROM ?.sys.database_principals

    WHERE type <> ''R'''

  • How about this?

    DECLARE @SQL AS VARCHAR(MAX)

    SELECT @SQL = COALESCE(@SQL + '; ', '') + sql_command

    FROM (SELECT 'USE ' + QUOTENAME(name) +

    ' SELECT a.name AS Database_Schema_Name, b.name AS Schema_Owner

    FROM sys.schemas a

    INNER JOIN sys.database_principals b

    ON a.principal_id = b.principal_id

    WHERE a.schema_id <> a.principal_id

    AND b.type <> ''R'';

    SELECT name AS Database_User, Default_Schema_Name

    FROM sys.database_principals

    WHERE type <> ''R''' AS sql_command

    FROM sys.databases

    ) a

    EXEC(@SQL)

    GO

    Hope your issue has been sorted, or else try this.

  • Occasionally there will be an issue with the actual name of the database - for example, it will contain a space like "My Database" In this case

    Example:

    EXEC sp_MSforeachdbCleanPasswords 'USE [?];'

    OR

    EXEC sp_MSforeachdbCleanPasswords 'USE ''[?]'';'

    depending on the need for the dynamic sql.
