Answers

How do I find all the tables that do not have a clustered index in a specified database?
Before you run the following queries, replace <database_name> with a valid database name.

WHERE i.object_id = t.object_id AND i.type = 1 -- or type_desc = 'CLUSTERED' ) ORDER BY
schema_name, table_name; GO
Or, you can use the OBJECTPROPERTY function as shown in the following example.

USE <database_name>; GO SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name, name

How do I find the columns that depend on a specified CLR user-defined type or alias type?
Before you run the following query, replace <database_name> with a valid name and

<schema_name.da ta _type_name> with a valid, schema-qualified CLR user-defined type, or

schema-qualified alias type name. The following query requires membership in the db_owner role
or permissions to see all dependent column and computed column metadata in the database.

USE <database_name>; GO SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) AS object_name ,c.name AS

column_name ,SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) AS schema_name ,TYPE_NAME(c.user_type_id)

sys.columns AS c INNER JOIN sys.types AS t ON c.user_type_id = t.user_type_id WHERE
c.user_type_id = TYPE_ID('<schema_name.data_type_name>'); GO
The following query returns a restricted and narrow view of columns dependent on a CLR user-
defined type or alias, but the result set is visible to the public role. You can use this query if you
have granted REFERENCE permissions on your user-defined type to others and you do not have
permission to view the metadata of the objects others have created that use the type.

Before you run the following query, replace <database_name> with a valid name and

type name. For more information about computed column dependencies, see Understanding SQL
Dependencies.

How do I find the parameters that depend on a specified CLR user-defined type or alias
type?
Before you run the following query, replace <database_name> with a valid name and

<schema _name.data_type_name> with a valid, schema-qualified CLR user-defined type, alias

The following query returns a restricted and narrow view of parameters that depend on a CLR user-
defined type or alias, but the result set is visible to the public role. You can use this query if you
have granted REFERENCE permissions on your user-defined type to others and you do not have
permission to view the metadata of the objects others have created that use the type.

name.

How do I find the views, Transact-SQL functions, and Transact-SQL stored procedures
that depend on a specified CLR user-defined type or alias type?
Before you run the following query, replace <database_name> with a valid name and

<schema_name.da ta_ type_name> with a valid, schema-qualified CLR user-defined type, alias
type name.

The parameters defined in a function or procedure are implicitly schema bound. Therefore,
parameters that depend on a CLR user-defined type or alias type can be viewed by using the
sys.sql_dependencies catalog view. Procedures and triggers are not schema bound. This means that
dependencies between any expression defined in the body of the procedure or trigger and a CLR
user-defined type or alias type is not maintained. Schema bound views and schema bound user-
defined functions that have expressions that depend on a CLR user-defined type or alias type are
maintained in the sys.sql_dependencies catalog view. Dependencies between types and CLR
functions and CLR procedures are not maintained.

The following query returns all schema-bound dependencies in views, Transact-SQL functions, and
Transact-SQL stored procedures for a specified CLR user-defined type or alias type.

USE <database_name>; GO SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id) AS

dependent_object_schema ,OBJECT_NAME(o.object_id) AS dependent_object_name
