Sql – GRANT EXECUTE to all stored procedures

permissionssqlsql serversql-server-2008tsql

Does the following command effectively give the user, "MyUser," permission to execute ALL stored procedures in the database?

GRANT EXECUTE TO [MyDomain\MyUser]

Best Answer

SQL Server 2008 and Above:

/* CREATE A NEW ROLE */
CREATE ROLE db_executor

/* GRANT EXECUTE TO THE ROLE */
GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor

For just a user (not a role):

USE [DBName]
GO
GRANT EXECUTE TO [user]

Sql-server – How to check if a column exists in a SQL Server table

SQL Server 2005 onwards:

IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM sys.columns 
          WHERE Name = N'columnName'
          AND Object_ID = Object_ID(N'schemaName.tableName'))
BEGIN
    -- Column Exists
END

Martin Smith's version is shorter:

IF COL_LENGTH('schemaName.tableName', 'columnName') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    -- Column Exists
END

Sql-server – Query to list all stored procedures

As Mike stated, the best way is to use information_schema. As long as you're not in the master database, system stored procedures won't be returned.

SELECT * 
  FROM DatabaseName.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
 WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE'

If for some reason you had non-system stored procedures in the master database, you could use the query (this will filter out MOST system stored procedures):

SELECT * 
  FROM [master].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
 WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' 
   AND LEFT(ROUTINE_NAME, 3) NOT IN ('sp_', 'xp_', 'ms_')
