Hello all,


Here is another posting focusing on SQL scripts that may help on everyday DBA tasks, following the series "SQL Swiss Army Knife". This is another example of a script I've been using as a "local machine" bit of a wider DR strategy, in this case generating all logins and their respective server roles. Note that this does not deal with CERTIFICATE_MAPPED_LOGIN and ASYMMETRIC_KEY_MAPPED_LOGIN types.
These are the options available:



  • All users:
    EXEC usp_logins

  • One user, All DBs:
    EXEC usp_logins '<User>'

  • One user, One DB:
    EXEC usp_logins '<User>', '<DBName>'

  • All users, One DB:
    EXEC usp_logins NULL, '<DBName>'



Its output may simply be saved onto a .sql file and will resemble this:



So I hope some of you will find useful.


Until next time!
