Finding Objects Owned by non-DBO Users

SQL Server has this concept of an owner of an object. Similar to the concept of schema, but not quite the same. Best practice dictates that all objects in SQL Server be owned by dbo, but that does not always happen. Tracking those objects down might be a pain, but Santveer Singh brings us an easy way of doing this.

Question of the Day

Fun with JSON I

I have some data in a table:

CREATE TABLE #test_data
(
    id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100),
    birth_date DATE
);

-- Step 2: Insert rows  
INSERT INTO #test_data
VALUES
(1, 'Olivia', '2025-01-05'),
(2, 'Emma', '2025-03-02'),
(3, 'Liam', '2025-11-15'),
(4, 'Noah', '2025-12-22');
If I run this query, how many rows are returned?
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(
     (
         SELECT t.* FROM #test_data AS t FOR JSON PATH
     )
             ) t;
