Search Database Objects Using System Catalog Views
You can view the list of the database objects from the SQL Server system catalog views. The system catalog views are used to show the information of the database engine. The catalog views can be used to display the meta-data of the SQL Server database. The catalog views inherit the information from the SQL Server metadata tables. For example, sys.tables view inherits the data from sys.objects catalog view.
