How to identify system objects when viewing list of SQL Server database objects?

Question

I\'m trying to list all the stored procedures from all the databases on my server, and I can\'t seem to filter out system objects reliably. I was using:

SELECT *         


        

Answer 1

SQL Server 2005 and higher

SELECT
  SCHEMA_NAME(obj.schema_id) AS schema_name,
  obj.name AS proc_name
FROM
  sys.procedures obj WITH(NOLOCK)
ORDER BY
  schema_name,
  proc_name

SQL Server 2000

SELECT
  USER_NAME(obj.uid) AS user_name,
  obj.name AS proc_name,
FROM
  sysobjects obj WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE
  (obj.status & 0x80000000) = 0
  AND RTRIM(obj.xtype) IN ('P', 'RF')
ORDER BY
  user_name,
  proc_name

Answer 2

This works on my SQL Server 2008 R2 install. I don't see much at all except for user databases

SELECT 
    *
FROM
   sys.objects
WHERE
   OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0

You can change sys.objects to say, sys.tables and it still works, or use the "type" column to filter. Or use OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id, 'IsProcedure') etc.

Note: it's sys.objects in SQL Server 2005+

Note 2: OBJECTPROPERTY will work for SQL Server 2000 too:

SELECT 
    *
FROM
   sysobjects
WHERE
   OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0
