Permission denied when pushing to GitHub remote repository

When I tried to push code to GitHub recently, I got the following error despite running PuTTY and loading the SSH key that was associated with my GitHub account:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

It turned out that one of my settings in Git Extensions had reverted. I went into Settings, Settings, Ssh and selected the option against PuTTY. I was then able to push successfully.

List All Stored Procedures Within a SQL Database and Then Grant Execute on Them

It's been too long since I last blogged.

Thought I'd dust things off with this little snippet of T-SQL to list all stored procedures that exist within a specified SQL database:

USE YourDatabaseNameHere
GO

SELECT NAME
FROM SYSOBJECTS 
WHERE TYPE = 'P' 
AND LEFT(NAME,2) <> 'sp'
AND LEFT(NAME,2) <> 'dt'

This can be useful if you wish to grant execute permissions on these objects to your database login. For example, the following T-SQL will literally write out the commands you need to run in order to grant such execute permissions:

SELECT 'GRANT EXECUTE ON ' + NAME + ' TO YourDatabaseLoginNameHere'
FROM SYSOBJECTS 
WHERE TYPE = 'P' 
AND LEFT(NAME,2) <> 'sp'
AND LEFT(NAME,2) <> 'dt'

You can take the output from the above, paste into a query window and run:

GRANT EXECUTE ON MyStoredProc TO YourDatabaseLoginNameHere

GRANT EXECUTE ON AnotherStoredProc TO YourDatabaseLoginNameHere

GRANT EXECUTE ON AndAnotherStoredProc TO YourDatabaseLoginNameHere
