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

Just to repeat what's already been suggested here, here's what I've used, to get a list of Tables, Stored Procedures, Views and Functions in my database:

SELECT schema_Name(schema_id)  as  SchemaName,
       [name],              --  Name of the Table, Stored Procedure or Function
       [type]               --  'V' for Views, 'U' for Table, 'P' for Stored Procedure, 'FN' for function
FROM sys.objects 
WHERE [type_desc] IN ( 'USER_TABLE', 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE', 'VIEW', 'SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION')
AND [name] NOT LIKE 'sp_%'
AND [name] NOT LIKE 'fn_%'
ORDER BY 3 DESC,        --  type first
        1 ASC,          --  then schema
        2 ASC           --  then function/table name

...and here's what our good friend Northwind would return...

On Sql Server 2005 (and above) you can use the sys.objects view:

select 
  name                    as  ObjectName,     
  schema_Name(schema_id)  as  SchemaName
from 
  sys.objects

In Sql Server 2000 (and below), "schema" had a different conceptual meaning. Note from MSDN:

In earlier releases of SQL Server, databases could contain an entity called a "schema", but that entity was effectively a database user. SQL Server 2005 is the first release of SQL Server in which a schema is both a container and a namespace.
