Interpreting type codes in sys.objects in SQL Server

Question

On SQL Server, the sys.objects table includes \"Type\" and \"Type_Desc\" attributes. For example, for one of my DBs:

SELECT DISTINCT [Type], Type_Desc
FROM Sys.O         


        

Answer 1

I realise this is a bit old now, but for those looking for an answer, this is what I found.

select * from master..spt_values where type = 'O9T'
