GETWORDCOUNT, GETWORDNUM, AT, RAT, OCCURS,CHRTRAN, STRFILTER, PADC, PADR, PADL, PROPER, RCHARINDEX etc. AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER are similar to functions Oracle PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP. In my humble opinion, it will be convinient to apply such functions for writing of stored procedures and User-Defined Functions on Transact-SQL.

I tried to make these scripts as flexible as possible so you can reuse them in procedures, […]

With this script you can see the permissions that every user-defined role and every user without a dbrole has.The list could get very large and hard to manage, but it helped me to build the roles of an app that didn't had any role defined.Hope it'll be usefull to someone
