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

There is this

SELECT name 
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE type = 'O9T'

Output

AF: aggregate function
AP: application
C : check cns
D : default (maybe cns)
EN: event notification
F : foreign key cns
FN: scalar function
FS: assembly scalar function
FT: assembly table function
IF: inline function
IS: inline scalar function
IT: internal table
L : log
P : stored procedure
PC : assembly stored procedure
PK: primary key cns
R : rule
RF: replication filter proc
S : system table
SN: synonym
SQ: queue
TA: assembly trigger
TF: table function
TR: trigger
U : user table
UQ: unique key cns
V : view
X : extended stored proc
sysobjects.type, reports

Answer 2

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;
