Hi - I want to use some catalog views to determine which users have

... and I want to see the effects of what has been done. I can
say ...

select * from sys.server_principals

... to see the results of the sp_addlogin and I can say ...

select * from sys.database_principals

... to see the results of sp_grantdbaccess but I really don't have any
idea how to see the effects of sp_addrolemember in a human readable
fashion. I presume that ...

select * from sys.database_role_members

... has got something to do with it but that's just two numbers. How
do you write a query to output (something like) ...

foo0WebUser0 db_datawriter
foo0WebUser0 db_datareader

?

Thanks

sys.sysusers has one record for each user and one record for each
role.
INNER JOIN sys.database_role_members twice to sys.sysusers on
role_principal_id and member_principal_id = uid and use sys.sysusers
name for meaning
