Example:: Searching Stored Procedures Across SQL Server Databases

This document contains a stored procedure that searches all stored procedures across all databases in a SQL Server instance for a given search string. It iterates through each database, constructs a dynamic SQL statement to search the text of stored procedures in that database for the string, and inserts any matches into a temporary table. The temporary table is returned, containing the database name and stored procedure name for any matches found.

Searching Stored Procedures Across SQL Server Databases

Heres a little utility SP I wrote which searches all stored procedures in all databases in your SQL
Server Instance for an input string.
In SQL Server Management Studio 2008 there is an option to do filtered searches but it only look
inside the selected database. Now honestly I am not sure you should be in a position where you
would want to search stored procedures across Databases, but if you do find the need, hope this
is useful!
Example:
If you compile this utility into DB1, then simply say :
EXEC DB1..sp_SearchInSPs 'mySearchString'

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

-- Description: stored procedure to search all SPs for a given string in ALL
databases.
-- =============================================
-- Sample to run
--EXEC DB1..sp_SearchInSPs 'BillingOvertimeCalcFactor'
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SearchInSP]
(
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@SearchString VARCHAR(100) = ''
)
AS
BEGIN
--Declare
DECLARE @SString NVARCHAR(50)
DECLARE @getdbname SYSNAME
DECLARE @sqlstm NVARCHAR(1000)
CREATE TABLE #tmp
(
DBName VARCHAR(100) ,
SPName VARCHAR(100)
)
DECLARE dbname CURSOR
FOR
--get all the names of the Databases in order by name
SELECT '[' + name + ']'
FROM
master.dbo.sysdatabases
ORDER BY name
OPEN dbname
--Get the first Name
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname INTO @getdbname
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

PRINT @getdbname
--set the search string
SET @SString = @SearchString
--append the search pattern
SET @SString = '%' + @SString + '%'
SET @sqlstm = 'SELECT DISTINCT ''' + @getdbname + ''',
s.name
FROM
' + @getdbname + '.dbo.syscomments c
INNER JOIN '+ @getdbname +'.dbo.sysobjects s
ON
c.id = s.id
WHERE
s.type IN ( ''p'', ''tr'' )
AND c.text LIKE ''%' + @SString + '%''
ORDER BY [Name]'

--Execute the Query


INSERT INTO #tmp
EXEC ( @sqlstm
)
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname INTO @getdbname
END
--Close the Cursor and Deallocate it from memory
CLOSE dbname
DEALLOCATE dbname
SELECT *
FROM
#tmp AS T
DROP TABLE #tmp
END

Simple SQL Server Split Function


Sample use-cases:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split]


(
@list NTEXT ,
@Delim CHAR(1) = ','
)
RETURNS @tbl TABLE
(
items VARCHAR(4000) NOT NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @pos INT ,
@textpos INT ,
@chunklen SMALLINT ,
@str NVARCHAR(4000) ,
@tmpstr NVARCHAR(4000) ,
@leftover NVARCHAR(4000)
IF @Delim IS NULL

BEGIN
INSERT
VALUES
RETURN

INTO @tbl
( items )
( CAST(@list AS VARCHAR)
)

-- items - varchar(4000)

END
SET @textpos = 1
SET @leftover = ''
WHILE @textpos <= DATALENGTH(@list) / 2
BEGIN
SET @chunklen = 4000 - DATALENGTH(@leftover) / 2
SET @tmpstr = LTRIM(@leftover + SUBSTRING(@list, @textpos,
@chunklen))
SET @textpos = @textpos + @chunklen
SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@Delim, @tmpstr)
WHILE @pos > 0
BEGIN
SET @str = SUBSTRING(@tmpstr, 1, @pos - 1)
IF LTRIM(RTRIM(@str)) <> ''
INSERT @tbl
( items )
VALUES ( @str )
SET @tmpstr = LTRIM(SUBSTRING(@tmpstr, @pos + 1,
LEN(@tmpstr)))
SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@Delim, @tmpstr)
END
SET @leftover = @tmpstr
END
IF LTRIM(RTRIM(@leftover)) <> ''
INSERT @tbl
( items )
VALUES ( @leftover )
RETURN
END
