sql server 2005 tables listed incompletely

Anonymous — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:40:01 -0000

Because of the changes to schemas between SqlServer 2000 and 2005, the table select statement you currently have fails when the user matching the schema is removed.

The following *may* address the problem, but as it only provides the schema name and not the actual owner, I'm not sure if completely solves the problem. Joining to sys.database_principals via the principal_id may be what you need.

select sp.name as Table_Name,
ssp.name as Owner
from sys.tables sp WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER join sys.schemas as ssp WITH (NOLOCK) on sp.schema_id = ssp.schema_id

Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190387.aspx particularly the statement: New DDL statements can introduce complexities to system metadata that are not accurately reflected in old catalog views such as sysobjects. In this example, the user ID and schema name returned by sysobjects are out of sync, and do not reflect the distinction between user and schema introduced in SQL Server 2005.

iUPDATE does not handle correctly nvarchar fields in SQL Server 2005 tables. Generated scripts have column name specified twice.
