How to count total number of stored procedure and tables in SQL Server 2008

Question

I have database Test1 in SQL Server 2008 R2. On the live server I took backup from there and restore it at our local machine as Test2 and added some tables and procedures.

If we restore Test2 back onto the live server so is it any query which can get tables name and procedure name which is only in test 2 not in test 1 or SQL Server treated it as totally different database?

And what is the query if I want to know only the number of difference of Test1 and Test2 databases

Answer 1

This will give you the count of tables and stored procedures.

SELECT 
    CASE TYPE 
        WHEN 'U' 
            THEN 'User Defined Tables' 
        WHEN 'S'
            THEN 'System Tables'
        WHEN 'IT'
            THEN 'Internal Tables'
        WHEN 'P'
            THEN 'Stored Procedures'
        WHEN 'PC'
            THEN 'CLR Stored Procedures'
        WHEN 'X'
            THEN 'Extended Stored Procedures'
    END, 
    COUNT(*)     
FROM SYS.OBJECTS
WHERE TYPE IN ('U', 'P', 'PC', 'S', 'IT', 'X')
GROUP BY TYPE

You can find in sys.objects all types of objects in the database. You will have to run this query on each of your databases to see the count of objects.
