Answer 1

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)
