This is my first response to a TSQL Tuesday.
There are lot of things in TSQL that can be done to make DBA’s life easier. We have a large collection of scripts. These are some I have used over the years at multiple jobs – there are several more but I don’t particularly want to write a very long post. Also a disclaimer that I did not write all of them. I wrote some, I tweaked some I found on sites like SQLServerCentral.com that have come in very handy. I apologize ahead for not offering credit since I have not kept track of the authors.
–Find the last server start date(2005)
SELECT crdate AS Datetime_Started FROM sysdatabases WHERE name = ‘tempdb’
1 –Find Blank passwords
SELECT name FROM sys.syslogins WHERE pwdcompare(””, password) = 1
2 –Find members of a role (for example, public)
SELECT a.[name] + ‘ ‘ + v.[name] + ‘ ON ‘ + QuoteName(oo.[name]) + ‘.’ + QuoteName(o.[name]) + ‘ TO ‘ + QuoteName(u.[name])
FROM dbo.sysprotects AS p JOIN master.dbo.spt_values AS a
ON (a.number = p.protecttype AND ‘T’ = a.type) JOIN master.dbo.spt_values
AS v ON (v.number = p.action AND ‘T’ = v.type) JOIN dbo.sysobjects AS o ON (o.id = p.id)
JOIN dbo.sysusers AS oo ON (oo.uid = o.uid) JOIN dbo.sysusers AS u ON (u.uid = p.uid) WHERE ‘public’ = u.name
3 –Find number of times a stored procedure was used since last reboot
SELECT DB_NAME(st.dbid) DBName
,OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(st.objectid,dbid) SchemaName
,OBJECT_NAME(st.objectid,dbid) StoredProcedure
,max(cp.usecounts) Execution_count
FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans cp
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(cp.plan_handle) st
where DB_NAME(st.dbid) is not null and cp.objtype = ‘proc’
group by cp.plan_handle, DB_NAME(st.dbid),
OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(objectid,st.dbid),
OBJECT_NAME(objectid,st.dbid)
order by max(cp.usecounts)
4 –Stick in anything to be changed across all dbs (just used sp_dboption with read only here)
SET NOCOUNT ON
— Get the name of all databases
DECLARE UserDatabases CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM master..sysdatabases
where name not in (‘master’,’tempdb’, ‘model’, ‘msdb’, ‘distribution’)
— Open Cursor
OPEN UserDatabases
— Define variables needed
DECLARE @DBase NVARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @COMMAND NVARCHAR(128)
— Get First database
FETCH NEXT FROM USerDatabases INTO @DBase
— Process until no more databases
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
set @command =’master..sp_dboption @dbname=”’ + @dbase +
”’,@optname=”Read ONLY”, @optvalue=”True”’
— Print command to be processed
print @command
— Process Command
exec (@command)
— Get next database
FETCH NEXT FROM UserDatabases INTO @DBase
END
— Close and Deallocate Cursor
CLOSE AllDatabases
DEALLOCATE AllDatabases
