Find object owner

Is there a query I can write that joins 2 system tables to return the owners of objects (e.g. tables) and the object's name?

Thanks,

Dave

IN SQL SERVER 200 the SCHEMA IN the information_VIEW represents the owner OF an objects e.g. FOR tables

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].TABLES

IN SQL SERVER 2005, you will have TO determine the owner OF the SCHEMA instead using

SELECT Name FROM sys.Schemas

INNER JOIN sys.server_principals

ON [Schemas].principal_id = [server_principals].Principal_id

In SQL SERVER 2005, because of the ALTER AUTHORIZATION clause, the schema owner may not always be the object owner

See, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187359.aspx

So, an alternative to the above query for SQL SERVER 2005 is

select user_name(objectproperty(object_id,'OwnerId')), name from sys.objects

This always returns the correct owner of the object and takes 'ALTER AUTHORIZATION' into account.
