Comments on: sp_helprotect, not sp_helpprotect … can’t anyone at Sybase spell?! http://dossy.org/2006/05/sphelprotect-not-sphelpprotect-cant-anyone-at-sybase-spell/ Everything that comes out of Dossy, from the strange to the banal.

I'am an oracle dba learning sql server now. And got here. The 'typo' in sp_helprotect makes you read it as sp_HEL(L)protect ;) While I'm here I've got a question; Is my conclusion correct that this is the ONLY way to retrieve object privileges for objects. I need to retrieve al grantees for several 'extended stored procedures' like xp_cmdshell and found it strange there is no metadata TABLE that I can select from to get me object privileges. Any a repply to my questio would be appreciated. remi@ ;)

Just goes to show that Microsoft is committed to to the idea of backwards compatibility to the point of stupidity. Would it be so difficult to create an alias with the correct spelling?
