sp_options [ [show | help [, option_name | category_name | null [, dflt | non_dflt | null [, spid] ] ] ] ]
lists the current and default values of all options, grouped according to their category. Issuing sp_options show with an option name specified gives you the current and default value for the individual option. You can also specify a session ID, and whether you want to view options with default settings or options with non-default settings.
indicates that you wish to show usage information. You achieve the same result when you issue sp_options with no parameters.
