Script to list out SQL Logins and Database User Mappings

3 Replies

You can use system stored procedure sp_msloginmappings to list out the SQL logins and database user mappings.

Syntax
sp_msloginmappings @Loginname , @Flags

@Loginname – Optional argument, in case if you not specify the Login name procedure will return the result for all the SQL Server logins
@Flags – You can specify value 0 or 1, 0 value will show user mapping to all databases and 1 will show the user mapping to current database only. Default value is 0

use master
go
exec sp_msloginmappings 'sa', 0

use master
go
exec sp_msloginmappings 'sa', 1

In case you want to run the sp_msloginmappings across multiple SQL Instance using either Central management server or powershell. You can use the below script.

 create table #loginmappings(  
  LoginName  nvarchar(128) NULL,  
  DBName     nvarchar(128) NULL,  
  UserName   nvarchar(128) NULL,  
  AliasName  nvarchar(128) NULL  
 )  
 
 insert into #loginmappings
 EXEC master..sp_msloginmappings
 
 select * from #loginmappings
 
 drop table #loginmappings

Steps to restart an Interrupted Database Restore in SQL Server

There may scenario when you are restoring VLDB database backup and the restore database command interrupted due network failure, power failure, SQL Server Service restart or cluster failover. In this kind of scenario you can easily start the interrupted restore from the point of failure using WITH RESTART command.

Before you start restoring the database using WITH RESTART option check database is in Restoring State not in any other state.

You can check the database state either from SSMS object explorer or by executing below T-SQL command

select name,state_desc from sys.databases

Once confirmed that database is in restoring state execute the backup command WITH RESTART clause

RESTORE DATABASE [AdventureWorks]
FROM DISK ='D:\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
WITH RESTART, STATS = 20
GO
