List all the Stored Procedures of a Database and their Definitions using T-SQL in SQL Server 2005/2008

Tweet

One way to Script the Stored Procedures of your SQL Server 2008 database is to use the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Open SSMS > Your Database > Programmability > Stored Procedures > Right Click Stored Procedure Name > 'Script Stored Procedure As' > 'Create To'

The other way to script objects of your database in SQL Server 2005/2008 is to use the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.1.

However if you need to do the same task programmatically using T-SQL, then here's the T-SQL that will help you do so:

USE NORTHWIND

 

SELECT obj.Name as SPName,

modu.definition as SPDefinition,

obj.create_date as SPCreationDate

FROM sys.sql_modules modu

INNER JOIN sys.objects obj

ON modu.object_id = obj.object_id

WHERE obj.type = 'P'

This query will list down all the stored procedures and their definitions of your database. In order to save the results of this SELECT statement to a text file, check this post of mine
