SQL Server有哪些隐藏特性?

例如,没有文档的系统存储过程,做一些非常有用但没有足够文档的事情的技巧?


答案

感谢大家的精彩回答!

存储过程

sp_msforeachtable: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each table name (v6.5 and up) sp_msforeachdb: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each database name (v7 and up) sp_who2: just like sp_who, but with a lot more info for troubleshooting blocks (v7 and up) sp_helptext: If you want the code of a stored procedure, view & UDF sp_tables: return a list of all tables and views of database in scope. sp_stored_procedures: return a list of all stored procedures xp_sscanf: Reads data from the string into the argument locations specified by each format argument. xp_fixeddrives:: Find the fixed drive with largest free space sp_help: If you want to know the table structure, indexes and constraints of a table. Also views and UDFs. Shortcut is Alt+F1

一个不太为人所知的TSQL技术,以随机顺序返回行:

-- Return rows in a random order
SELECT 
    SomeColumn 
FROM 
    SomeTable
ORDER BY 
    CHECKSUM(NEWID())

我知道它并不是完全隐藏的,但是没有太多人知道PIVOT命令。我能够改变一个使用游标的存储过程,并花费2分钟来运行一段6秒的代码,而这段代码的行数是原来的十分之一!

本周我学到的最令人惊讶的事情是在ORDER By子句中使用CASE语句。例如:

declare @orderby varchar(10)

set @orderby = 'NAME'

select * 
    from Users
    ORDER BY 
        CASE @orderby
            WHEN 'NAME' THEN LastName
            WHEN 'EMAIL' THEN EmailAddress
        END

以下是我最喜欢的一些东西:

在sp2 -工具/选项/脚本下增加了脚本选项

使用模式的新安全性—创建两个模式:user_access、admin_access。把你的用户过程放在一个,你的管理过程放在另一个,像这样:user_access。showList, admin_access.deleteUser。将模式上的EXECUTE授权给你的应用用户/角色。不再一直授予EXECUTE。

使用内置加密函数、视图(为了表示而解密)和带触发器的基表(在插入/更新时加密)进行加密。

下面是我写的一个查询,按最后修改日期列出所有DB用户对象:

select name, modify_date, 
case when type_desc = 'USER_TABLE' then 'Table'
when type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE' then 'Stored Procedure'
when type_desc in ('SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION', 'SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION', 'SQL_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION') then 'Function'
end as type_desc
from sys.objects
where type in ('U', 'P', 'FN', 'IF', 'TF')
and is_ms_shipped = 0
order by 2 desc

好吧,这是我的观点:

我懒得在这里重新写一遍,所以请查看我的帖子。这对许多人来说可能是微不足道的,但会有一些人会发现它是一颗“隐藏的宝石”。

编辑:

过了一会儿,我决定在这里添加代码,这样您就不必跳转到我的博客来查看代码了。

SELECT  T.NAME AS [TABLE NAME], C.NAME AS [COLUMN NAME], P.NAME AS [DATA TYPE], P.MAX_LENGTH AS[SIZE],   CAST(P.PRECISION AS VARCHAR) +‘/’+ CAST(P.SCALE AS VARCHAR) AS [PRECISION/SCALE]
FROM ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.OBJECTS AS T
JOIN ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.COLUMNS AS C
ON T.OBJECT_ID=C.OBJECT_ID
JOIN ADVENTUREWORKS.SYS.TYPES AS P
ON C.SYSTEM_TYPE_ID=P.SYSTEM_TYPE_ID
WHERE T.TYPE_DESC=‘USER_TABLE’;

或者,如果你想拉出所有的用户表,像这样使用CURSOR:

DECLARE @tablename VARCHAR(60)

DECLARE cursor_tablenames CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM AdventureWorks.sys.tables

OPEN cursor_tablenames
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_tablenames INTO @tablename

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

SELECT  t.name AS [TABLE Name], c.name AS [COLUMN Name], p.name AS [DATA Type], p.max_length AS[SIZE],   CAST(p.PRECISION AS VARCHAR) +‘/’+ CAST(p.scale AS VARCHAR) AS [PRECISION/Scale]
FROM AdventureWorks.sys.objects AS t
JOIN AdventureWorks.sys.columns AS c
ON t.OBJECT_ID=c.OBJECT_ID
JOIN AdventureWorks.sys.types AS p
ON c.system_type_id=p.system_type_id
WHERE t.name = @tablename
AND t.type_desc=‘USER_TABLE’
ORDER BY t.name ASC

FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_tablenames INTO @tablename
END

CLOSE cursor_tablenames
DEALLOCATE cursor_tablenames
