sys.databases (Transact-SQL)

Contains one row per database in the instance of Microsoft SQL Server.

If a database is not ONLINE or AUTO_CLOSE is set to ON and the database is closed, the values of some columns may be NULL. If a database is OFFLINE, the corresponding row is not visible to low-privileged users. To see the corresponding row if the database is OFFLINE, a user must have at least the ALTER ANY DATABASE server-level permission or the CREATE DATABASE permission in the master database.

Column name

Data type

Description

name

sysname

Name of database, unique within an instance of SQL Server.

database_id

int

ID of the database, unique within an instance of SQL Server.

int

Non-NULL = ID of the source database of this database snapshot.

NULL = Not a database snapshot.

owner_sid

varbinary(85)

SID (Security-Identifier) of the external owner of the database, as registered to the server.

create_date

datetime

Date the database was created or renamed. For tempdb, this value changes every time the server restarts.

tinyint

Integer corresponding to the version of SQL Server for which behavior is compatible:

70

80

90

100

NULL = Database is not online, or AUTO_CLOSE is set to ON and the database is closed.

sysname

Collation for the database. Acts as the default collation in the database.

NULL = Database is not online or AUTO_CLOSE is set to ON and the database is closed.

user_access

tinyint

User-access setting:

0 = MULTI_USER specified

1 = SINGLE_USER specified

2 = RESTRICTED_USER specified

NoteNote
A database that has just come online is not necessarily ready to accept connections. To identify when a database can accept connections, query the collation_name column of sys.databases or the Collation property of DATABASEPROPERTYEX. The database can accept connections when the database collation returns a non-null value.

Description of the database state:

ONLINE

RESTORING

RECOVERING

RECOVERY_PENDING

A database that has just come online is not necessarily ready to accept connections. To identify when a database can accept connections, query the collation_name column of sys.databases or the Collation property of DATABASEPROPERTYEX. The database can accept connections when the database collation returns a non-null value.

Permissions

If the caller of sys.databases is not the owner of the database and the database is not master or tempdb, the minimum permissions required to see the corresponding row are ALTER ANY DATABASE or VIEW ANY DATABASE server-level permission, or CREATE DATABASE permission in the master database. The database to which the caller is connected can always be viewed in sys.databases.
