How do I determine system vs user stored procedures?

I am using:

DataTable schemaTable = conn.GetSchema("procedures");
int ordSchema = schemaTable.Columns.IndexOf("SPECIFIC_SCHEMA");
int ordName = schemaTable.Columns.IndexOf("SPECIFIC_NAME");

And the DataRow's returned have nothing in them that identifies a
stored procedure as a user one vs a system one.

Even weirder, in SqlServer 2000 this returns just user stored
procedures while in SqlServer 2005 it returns system ones that start
with dt_ but not the ones that start with sp_.

Any suggestions? I would like to be able to get just user ones, just
system ones, and all (3 options).

thanks - dave

That's correct - that identifier is not included in the GetSchema method...



SELECT
s.name AS schema_name,
p.name AS procedure_name
FROM
sys.schemas s
INNER JOIN sys.procedures p ON s.schema_id = p.schema_id
WHERE
p.is_ms_shipped = 0 -- this is the identifier
ORDER BY
s.name,
p.name
Click to expand...

I spoke too soon. I ran the following against AdventureWorks on Sql
Server 2005 and it returned only the user stored procedures (note I
eleminated the where):

SELECT s.name AS schema_name, p.name, p.is_ms_shipped AS
procedure_name
FROM sys.schemas AS s INNER JOIN
sys.procedures AS p ON s.schema_id = p.schema_id
ORDER BY schema_name, procedure_name

Any idea why it doesn't get the system ones?

thanks - dave

There are no system stored procedures in AdventureWorks, at least, not in
the copy that I just downloaded and installed...

SELECT * FROM sys.procedures returns nine records, none of which is a system
stored procedure...
Click to expand...

Maybe I'm missing something. Using the Sql Server 2005 Management
Studio under Adventure Word, Programmability there are 9 stored
procedures and a folder titled "System Stored Procedures". And that
folder has a ton of items like sys.sp_ActiveDirectory_Obj,
sys.xp_revokelogin, etc.

Are these something else?

thanks - dave

Hi David,

The select SQL command that you have used returns a list of user stored
procedures. To retrieve the system stored procedures, you can consider the
following SQL commands:
==========================================
EXEC SP_STORED_PROCEDURES @sp_owner = 'sys'
==========================================

Also, to get all the stored procedures (both user and system), we can
directly call
==========================================
EXEC SP_STORED_PROCEDURES
==========================================

If you have any questions regarding this case, please feel free to let me
know.

Have a nice day!
