sys.system_objects (Transact-SQL)

[!INCLUDE sql-asdb-asdbmi-asa-pdw-fabricse-fabricdw]

Contains one row for all schema-scoped system objects that are included with [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. All system objects are contained in the schemas named sys or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.

Column name Data type Description
name sysname Object name.
object_id int Object identification number. Is unique within a database.
principal_id int ID of the individual owner if different from the schema owner. By default, schema-contained objects are owned by the schema owner. However, another owner can be specified by using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to change ownership.

Is NULL if there is no other individual owner.

Is NULL if the object type is one of the following:

C = CHECK constraint

D = DEFAULT (constraint or stand-alone)

F = FOREIGN KEY constraint

PK = PRIMARY KEY constraint

R = Rule (old-style, stand-alone)

TA = Assembly (CLR) trigger

TR = SQL trigger

UQ = UNIQUE constraint
schema_id int ID of the schema that the object is contained in.

For all schema-scoped system objects that included with [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], this value will always be in (schema_id('sys'), schema_id('INFORMATION_SCHEMA'))
parent_object_id int ID of the object to which this object belongs.

0 = Not a child object.
type char(2) Object type:

AF = Aggregate function (CLR)

C = CHECK constraint

D = DEFAULT (constraint or stand-alone)

F = FOREIGN KEY constraint

FN = SQL scalar function

FS = Assembly (CLR) scalar-function

FT = Assembly (CLR) table-valued function

IF = SQL inline table-valued function

IT = Internal table

P = SQL Stored Procedure

PC = Assembly (CLR) stored-procedure

PG = Plan guide

PK = PRIMARY KEY constraint

R = Rule (old-style, stand-alone)

RF = Replication-filter-procedure

S = System base table

SN = Synonym

SQ = Service queue

TA = Assembly (CLR) DML trigger

TF = SQL table-valued-function

TR = SQL DML trigger

TT = Table type

U = Table (user-defined)

UQ = UNIQUE constraint

V = View

X = Extended stored procedure

is_ms_shipped bit Object is created by an internal [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] component.
is_published bit Object is published.
is_schema_published bit Only the schema of the object is published.
