Granting limited permissions to create views in another schema in SQL Server - Part 2

In a previous tip, Granting limited permissions to create views in another schema in SQL Server, I showed how to use the CREATE VIEW permission and the ALTER SCHEMA permission to allow users to create new views using the same schema as the tables. However, I have found that the users can alter and drop tables in this schema which is beyond what I want them to do. A DENY CREATE TABLE does not work, so what can I do to prevent them from touching the tables in this way? In this tip I will show you how you can use a DDL trigger to prevent this unneeded access.

Using the OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME function to return the schema name

I tend to do a great deal of meta-data (or is it metadata) mining from the system compatibility views and system catalog views in order to build dynamic ad-hoc T/SQL code to use for various administrative processes.

Using schema binding to improve SQL Server UDF performance

SCHEMA BINDING is commonly used with SQL Server objects like views and User Defined Functions (UDF). The main benefit of SCHEMA BINDING is to avoid any accidental drop or change of an object that is referenced by other objects. A User Defined Function (UDF) may or may not access any underlying database objects, but in this tip we show how using SCHEMA BINDING with a UDF can improve performance even if there are no underlying objects.

View - Table Usage (Recursive)

Written to explore the table dependencies of a view, especially when the view queries other views.
