SQL Server - Return SCHEMA for sysobjects

Question

How to I get the SCHEMA when doing a select on sysobjects?

I am modifing a stored procedure called SearchObjectsForText which returns only the Name

Answer 1

Have included an option to delete all objects starting with certain prefix and optionally from certain schema. By the way, I added extra query to get all types which are not stored on sysobjects by default.

I have uploaded entire sample script to GitHub: DropAll_Dnn_Objects.sql

Part 1: Temporary Stored Procedure:

IF OBJECT_ID('_temp_DropAllDnnObjects') IS NOT NULL
    DROP PROCEDURE _temp_DropAllDnnObjects;
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE _temp_DropAllDnnObjects
    @object_prefix NVARCHAR(30),
    @schema_name sysname = NULL
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @sname sysname, @name sysname, @type NVARCHAR(30)
    DECLARE @object_type NVARCHAR(255), @sql NVARCHAR(2000), @count INT = 0

    DECLARE curs CURSOR FOR
        SELECT sname, [name], xtype 
        FROM (
            SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) as sname, [name], [type] as xtype
                FROM sys.objects
                WHERE [type] IN ('U', 'P', 'FN', 'IF', 'TF', 'V', 'TR')
                    AND name LIKE @object_prefix + '%'
                    AND (@schema_name IS NULL OR schema_id = SCHEMA_ID(@schema_name))
            UNION ALL
            SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) as sname, [name], 'TYPE' as xtype
                FROM sys.types
                WHERE is_user_defined = 1
                    AND [name] LIKE @object_prefix + '%'
                    AND (@schema_name IS NULL OR schema_id = SCHEMA_ID(@schema_name))
            ) a
        ORDER BY CASE xtype
                        WHEN 'P'    THEN 1
                        WHEN 'FN'   THEN 2
                        WHEN 'IF'   THEN 3
                        WHEN 'TF'   THEN 4
                        WHEN 'TR'   THEN 5
                        WHEN 'V'    THEN 6
                        WHEN 'U'    THEN 7
                        WHEN 'TYPE' THEN 8
                        ELSE 9
                    END, name

    OPEN curs;
    FETCH NEXT FROM curs INTO @sname, @name, @type;

    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
        SET @count = @count + 1
        -- Configuration point 2
        SET @object_type = CASE @type
                        WHEN 'P'    THEN 'PROCEDURE'
                        WHEN 'FN'   THEN 'FUNCTION'
                        WHEN 'IF'   THEN 'FUNCTION'
                        WHEN 'TF'   THEN 'FUNCTION'
                        WHEN 'TR'   THEN 'TRIGGER'
                        WHEN 'V'    THEN 'VIEW'
                        WHEN 'U'    THEN 'TABLE'
                        WHEN 'TYPE' THEN 'TYPE'
                    END
        SET @sql = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE('DROP  [].[];', 
                        '', @object_type),
                        '', @sname),
                        '', @name)

        BEGIN TRY  
            PRINT @sql
            EXEC(@sql)
        END TRY  
        BEGIN CATCH  
            PRINT 'ERROR: ' + ERROR_MESSAGE()
        END CATCH  
        FETCH NEXT FROM curs INTO @sname, @name, @type;
    END;

    PRINT CONCAT('Objects Found: ', @Count)
    PRINT ''
    PRINT '------------------------------------------------------'
    PRINT ''

    CLOSE curs;
    DEALLOCATE curs;

    RETURN @Count
END;
GO

It will continue on errors (and display the error message). It will return a count of all objects found.

Part 2: Call Stored Procedure with parameters:

You can create a WHILE loop in order to run the command until no object is left (dependencies), as follows:

DECLARE @count INT = 1
WHILE @count > 0 EXEC @count = _temp_DropAllDnnObjects 'dnn';
SET @count = 1
WHILE @count > 0 EXEC @count = _temp_DropAllDnnObjects 'aspnet';
SET @count = 1
WHILE @count > 0 EXEC @count = _temp_DropAllDnnObjects 'vw_aspnet';
GO

Part 3: Finally, get rid of the procedure:

IF OBJECT_ID('_temp_DropAllDnnObjects') IS NOT NULL
    DROP PROCEDURE _temp_DropAllDnnObjects;
GO
