Query to extract users,databaseroles,schemas

  • Hi !

    I am about to do restore of database in a environment and i was extracting the security by right clicking the database--Task--GenerateScripts-- selecting the users,databaseroles,schemas and saving it in a file and applying that after the restore. So my question is instead of using the Wizard is there any query to pull up the security.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Do you need a script that will just display the memberships and security for that user.

    Or do you need something that will generate the scripts to recreate that user with appropriate perms?

  • this is a script I use to generate a script of the security for restores... basically I use this when I am asked to "restore the database, but leave all the permissions the same"... it will give errors which can be ignored under some circumstances... for example, if, prior to the restore, there was an object which had explicit permissions, this will try to recreate those permissions, but if that object no longer exists, we can expect an error.... stuff like that:

    /**********SET RESULTS TO TEXT TO ENSURE FULL OUTPUT******/

    /**

    NOTE: This script should be run once prior to a database restore to generate the

    appropriate permissions scripts. Set results to text and retain them

    Once the database is restored, the script must be run against the restored database,

    AGAIN, the results should be output to text. These results will include "drop schema"

    and "drop user" statements which must be copied and run against the restored database

    to drop the production users.

    so, you will run the script, restore the database, run the output of first script,

    then run the output of that script again... it's simpler than it sounds
