Identify the stored procedures a parameter belongs to in SQL Server

There may be times when it would be nice to know what stored procedures have parameters with a certain name.  For example, what procedures have a parameter named "username?"  Using SQL Server it's just a matter of querying some of the system tables to find out.

NOTE:  Set the value in the DECLARE line at the top to the parameter name to look for (partial strings are fine).

DECLARE @parameter VARCHAR(MAX) = 'PARAMETERNAME'

SELECT
     sys.all_parameters.name AS parameterName
    ,sys.all_objects.name AS storedProcedureName
FROM
    sys.all_objects
    INNER JOIN sys.all_parameters
        ON sys.all_objects.object_id = sys.all_parameters.object_id
WHERE sys.all_parameters.name LIKE '%' + @parameter + '%'

Remove control of Chrome being managed by organization on personal devices

Chrome may indicate that it's being managed by a user's organization. This warning is provided by the Chrome Policies feature of the browser. To know if an instance of Chrome is managed by an organization, there will be an entry at the bottom of the browser’s hamburger menu (three dot menu), on the right side of the browser window that reads, "Managed by your organization." This is likely due to an entry in the Chrome Policies listing, which can be found by loading this page in the browser: chrome://policy The policies listed in this section are stored in the computer's file system in one of the following locations as JSON files. /usr/share/chromium/policies/managed /usr/share/chromium/policies/recommended Remove the offending JSON files, and click the Reload policies button. The Managed by your organization entry in the browser menu should be gone. A notice like this on instances of Chrome for work, school, library, or other devices that belong to an organizati...

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ).  From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.

Connecting to SQL Server with jTDS using Windows Authentication

UPDATE:   At one point the tip in this article to set the USENTLV2 flag to true was accurate, but it appears it is no longer necessary, at least as far as DBeaver 's use of the driver is concerned.  If it solves an authentication problem, then great.  The expectation is that, an update in one of the packages that make this sort of connection possible has resolved the issue that at one time made this flag necessary. Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using jTDS with a username and password that's managed by the database manager is pretty straightforward.  It may become a little more problematic however, when trying to use Windows authentication when connecting from a Windows machine. Do not supply a username and password. Set the USENTLMV2 property to true. NOTE:   Step 1 assumes a connection being made from a Windows machine.  If the connection is being made from something else, user credentials may actually be necessary. If the connect...
