Shows the UNION of all schema-scoped user-defined objects and system objects.

Column name

Data type

Description

name

sysname

Object name.

object_id

int

Object identification number. Is unique within a database.

principal_id

int

ID of the individual owner if different from the schema owner. By default, schema-contained objects are owned by the schema owner. However, another owner can be specified by using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to change ownership.

Is NULL if there is no alternative individual owner.

Is NULL if the object type is one of the following:

C = CHECK constraint

D = DEFAULT (constraint or stand-alone)

F = FOREIGN KEY constraint

PK = PRIMARY KEY constraint

R = Rule (old-style, stand-alone)

TA = Assembly (CLR) trigger

TR = SQL trigger

UQ = UNIQUE constraint

schema_id

int

ID of the schema that contains the object.

For all schema scoped system objects that are included with SQL Server, this value is always in (schema_id('sys'), schema_id('INFORMATION_SCHEMA')).

parent_object_id

int

ID of the object to which this object belongs.

0 = Not a child object.

type

char(2)

Object type:

AF = Aggregate function (CLR)

C = CHECK constraint

D = DEFAULT (constraint or stand-alone)

F = FOREIGN KEY constraint

FN = SQL scalar function

FS = Assembly (CLR) scalar-function

FT = Assembly (CLR) table-valued function

IF = SQL inline table-valued function

IT = Internal table

P = SQL Stored Procedure

PC = Assembly (CLR) stored-procedure

PG = Plan guide

PK = PRIMARY KEY constraint

R = Rule (old-style, stand-alone)

RF = Replication-filter-procedure

S = System base table

SN = Synonym

SQ = Service queue

TA = Assembly (CLR) DML trigger

TF = SQL table-valued-function

TR = SQL DML trigger

TT = Table type

U = Table (user-defined)

UQ = UNIQUE constraint

V = View

X = Extended stored procedure

create_date

Object created by an internal SQL Server component.

is_published

bit

Object is published.

is_schema_published
