Is there a table that holds the listing of sysobjects.xtype descriptions?

Question

According to the sysobjects documentation, sysobjects.xtype can be one of these object types:

| xtype |             


        

Answer 1

Here is what I came up with to get total of database objects and its description.

    select xtype1, Description, total_count, last_crdate, last_refdate 
    from 
    (SELECT xtype as xtype1, total_count = COUNT(*), last_crdate = MAX(crdate), last_refdate = MAX(refdate)
     FROM sysobjects 
     GROUP BY xtype
     )o
    left outer join 
    (SELECT LEFT(name,PATINDEX('%:%',name)-1) AS xtype2, RIGHT(name, (LEN(name) - PATINDEX('%:%',name))) AS Description
    FROM master..spt_values 
    WHERE type = 'O9T' AND number  = -1
    )x 
    on o.xtype1 = x.xtype2
    order by Description;
