Answer 1

Something like this can help you:

        select sys.server_role_members.role_principal_id ,role.name  as rolename    
        , sys.server_role_members.member_principal_id , member.name as membername 
        from sys.server_role_members 
        join sys.server_principals as role
        on sys.server_role_members.role_principal_id = role.principal_id
        join sys.server_principals as member 
        on sys.server_role_members. member_principal_id = member_principal_id;

Answer 2

Probably use something like this

SELECT
    SU.Name AS UserName, SR.Name AS RoleName
FROM
    sysUsers AS SU
      INNER JOIN 
     sysUsers AS SR ON SU.GID = SR.UID
WHERE
    SU.GID <> SU.UID
ORDER BY
  RoleName, UserName

EDIT 1 To Get the System Roles associated with a user. The sys.sysmembers is a system view which has the memberuid and the groupuid as the only columns. you can use the user_name() function to retreive the name of each column.

USE [YourDatabase]
SELECT user_name([memberuid]) as [Username], User_Name([groupuid]) as [Role_Name]
FROM [sys].[sysmembers]

Answer 3

In SQL 2005 and 2008 this information is most easily accessed in two catalog views.

This query should give you the information you're looking for.

select rp.name as database_role, mp.name as database_user
from sys.database_role_members drm
join sys.database_principals rp on (drm.role_principal_id = rp.principal_id)
join sys.database_principals mp on (drm.member_principal_id = mp.principal_id)

Answer 4

just depending on how you want to pass the parameter...assuming you'll use the id of the role

declare @roleID int

select
    role_principal_id as roleID, 
    user_name(role_principal_id) as roleName, 
    member_principal_id as memberID,
    user_name(member_principal_id) as memberName 
from 
    sys.database_role_members
where 
    role_principal_id = @roleID
